ITEM 1. BUSINESS
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
Overview
We are primarily an aircraft development company. We also provide real-time location systems (“RTLS”) for the industrial sector, which was Legacy Inpixon’s focus prior to the closing of the XTI Merger.
Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, the Company is developing a vertical takeoff and landing (“VTOL”) airplane that is designed to take off and land like a helicopter and cruise like a fixed-wing business airplane. We believe our initial configuration, the TriFan 600 airplane, will be one of the first civilian fixed-wing VTOL airplane that offers the speed and comfort of a business airplane and the range and versatility of VTOL for a wide range of customer applications, including private aviation for business and high net worth individuals, emergency medical services, and regional charter air travel. Since 2013, we have been engaged primarily in developing the aerodynamic performance and top-level engineering design of the TriFan 600, building and testing a two-thirds scale unmanned version of the TriFan 600, generating pre-orders for the TriFan 600, and seeking funds from investors to enable the Company to advance the detailed design and certification of the TriFan 600, and to eventually engage in commercial production and sale of the TriFan 600.
We continue to work to optimize our airplane design for both manufacturing and certification. The development of a VTOL airplane that meets our business requirements demands significant design and development efforts on all facets of the airplane. We believe that by bringing together a mix of talent with VTOL and traditional commercial aerospace backgrounds, we have built a team that enables us to move through the design, development, and certification of our VTOL airplane with the FAA in an efficient manner, thus allowing us to achieve our end goal of bringing to market our airplane as efficiently as possible.
To date, we have not generated revenue from the sale of aircraft, as we continue to design, develop, and seek the governmental approvals necessary for our VTOL airplane to enter into service. We will need to raise capital for the foreseeable future to continue to fund our efforts to bring our VTOL airplane to market. The amount and timing of any future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of the design and development of our airplane and future manufacturing operations, as well as our progress in obtaining necessary FAA certifications and other government approvals. For example, any significant delays in obtaining such FAA certifications and other government approvals will likely require us to raise additional capital and delay our generation of revenues from aircraft sales.
Our RTLS solutions leverage cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, AI, and big data analytics to provide real-time tracking and monitoring of assets, machines, and people within industrial environments. With our RTLS solutions, businesses can achieve improved operational efficiency, enhanced safety and reduced costs. By having real-time visibility into operations, industrial organizations can make informed, data-driven decisions, minimize downtime, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
Corporate Strategy
In addition to advancing the design and certification of the TriFan 600 for commercial production and sale, and in order to continue to respond to rapid changes and required technological advancements, increase our opportunities for revenue generation, and increase shareholder value, we are exploring strategic transactions and opportunities that we believe will enhance shareholder value. We are particularly focused on delivering leading, business-focused solutions that seek to shape the future across powered-lift aircraft solutions. Expanding into autonomous, remotely operated drones is key to our strategic vision. By combining drone technology with VTOL innovation, we believe we are positioning XTI to accelerate the development of both unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and VTOL solutions, expand its market presence, and create new opportunities across multiple industries. We will also be opportunistic and may consider other strategic and/or attractive transactions, which may include, but not be limited to other alternative investment opportunities, such as minority investments and joint ventures. If we make any acquisitions in the future, we expect that we may pay for such acquisitions with cash, equity securities and/or debt in combinations appropriate for each acquisition. In this regard, in January of this year, we entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding to acquire a minority equity interest in an AI-powered, autonomous drone company. We may enter into one or more additional non-binding letters of intent in connection with our due diligence and strategic transaction evaluation process. In addition to these strategic initiatives, we also intend to invest in a variety of thought leadership marketing and branding initiatives to increase market visibility and enhance our brand strength and credibility within the powered lift aircraft market.
The Air Travel Market
In today’s regional air travel market, customers have two choices - either a fixed-wing airplane, which requires a runway, or a helicopter, which is slower, comparatively expensive, and relatively range limited. What we intend to bring to market is a unique airplane combining the speed, range and comfort of a fixed-wing business airplane with the point-to-point VTOL capability of a helicopter. Our target customers for the TriFan 600 include corporate and individual business aircraft and helicopter operators, charter operators, major and regional airlines, and air medical operators. In terms of current market size, the 2024 year-end General Aviation Aircraft Shipment Reports of the General Aviation Aircraft Manufacturers Association (“GAMA”) reports total general (civilian, non-commercial) aircraft and helicopter shipments billings at approximately $31.2 billion for 2024, an approximate 12% increase from 2023.
We believe the anticipated differentiating performance capabilities of the TriFan 600 - the unique versatility delivered by combining the best of a helicopter and a business airplane in one platform which we expect will result in significant time and cost savings - will be attractive to customers and disruptive in existing markets. As of the date of this filing, we have conditional pre-orders under a combination of aircraft purchase agreements, non-binding reservation deposit agreements and options for the delivery of more than 290 airplanes. See “- Customers - TriFan 600” for more information.
In contrast to the eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft, which are short-range air taxis for urban transport being developed by other companies (and not yet certified by the FAA), the TriFan 600 is expected to have significantly greater range of 700 miles in addition to the flexibility to take off and land vertically (VTOL), conventionally (CTOL), or on short runways (STOL). With our initial configuration of two turboshaft engines, we expect that our customers will be able to use much of the existing infrastructure on the ground, including more than 5,000 existing helipads in the U.S. alone, as well as other landing areas where it is safe and legal to land and take off, including job sites, grassy areas, driveways, backyards, other paved and improved surfaces, hospital helipads and regional airports, which may not contain the requisite charging infrastructure for eVTOL aircraft. We expect that the TriFan’s speed, range, and comfort, as well as its flexibility in takeoff and landing sites will offer a significant competitive advantage over eVTOL aircraft because eVTOL aircraft depend on the availability of battery or hydrogen charging infrastructure which is not commercially available yet. We expect that the TriFan 600 will provide increased connectivity between communities as well as generate time savings for travelers. As technology matures, we envision a transition to hybrid-electric propulsion for future TriFan configurations in our pursuit of taking aviation to a greener future. We believe our phased, measured-risk approach is prudent given the lack of technology readiness of battery and hydrogen propulsion, limited and slow progress with respect to regulatory guidance regarding novel propulsion technologies, and expected long timelines to develop a widespread charging network. With time, we anticipate that owners and users of the TriFan will be able to access many of the landing pads, vertiports, and other VTOL aircraft infrastructure that we expect will accommodate eVTOL air taxis, which should allow the Company to participate to some extent in the future Advanced Air Mobility market.
As of the date of this filing, the base price of the TriFan 600 airplane is approximately $10 to $12 million. The announced price for our only known direct competitor for a civilian fixed-wing VTOL airplane is between $20 million and $30 million. The TriFan 600’s $10 to $12 million base price falls within the price range ($6.5 million - $12 million) for many of the business airplanes with whom we expect the TriFan 600 to compete. Unlike the TriFan 600, these airplanes require runways for takeoff and landing, which adds to total trip times. The $10 to $12 million base price is above the initial purchase price range ($5.5 million to $8.2 million) for helicopters with whom the TriFan 600 expects to compete. However, the TriFan 600 will be capable of completing missions at approximately twice the speed of competing helicopters. Therefore, the mission time compared to helicopters is expected to be reduced by 40% - 50% and mission costs and emissions will also be reduced. As a result, we expect the TriFan 600’s five-year cost of ownership (initial base purchase price plus annual direct operating costs) to be lower than much of the helicopter competition.
Products and Services
TriFan
Our aviation business is focused on the development of our initial configuration of the TriFan 600, which is a seven-occupant airplane intended to provide point-to-point air travel over distances of up to 985 miles, fly at twice the speed of a helicopter and cruise at altitudes up to 25,000 feet. We believe that the target TriFan 600 airplane will provide unique advantages over existing helicopters, turboprop and light jet airplane. Since the airplane will take off and land vertically, we anticipate that the TriFan 600 will generate significant time savings on a typical 500-mile trip by traveling point-to-point or utilizing more convenient existing ground and airspace infrastructure (such as helipads) to avoid or reduce the time traveling on the ground to and from an airport. The TriFan 600 also is expected to have the capability to take off and land conventionally, if a runway is available. This added capability is expected to increase range and payload and expand utility.
We plan to either assemble the TriFan 600 airplane in-house with supplier-provided components or engage a third-party manufacturer to assemble the airplane. By combining existing and future state-of-the-art technologies and components (including turbine engines, composites, software, advanced propulsion and fuel systems) into our patented proprietary design, we believe the TriFan 600 will be a commercially successful airplane for the business and other aviation markets.
Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) & IIoT Solutions
Our real-time location systems (RTLS) & IIoT solutions consist of the following software and hardware products. During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company began exploring strategic options to wind down and/or sell the hardware portions of the Company’s Industrial IoT business segment in order to shift its focus towards sales of software products.
● Industrial RTLS SaaS Platform - Our full stack offering in the Industrial IoT space includes an enterprise class, multi-technology RTLS IoT platform for industrial automation. Our RTLS IoT platform is a comprehensive real-time IoT solution for the implementation of industrial RTLS (track & trace) applications for indoor and outdoor areas, such as vehicle localization, production tracking, yard management, gate allocation, forklift location (MHE), real-time route optimization, and the automatic identification (AutoID) and booking of goods and material flows. In addition to real-time data applications for the digital twin, it also provides smart real-time location analyses from a single platform suite, enabling companies to identify significant process optimizations and make data-based decisions. Prebuilt modules offered within the platform include smart factory, smart warehouse, inventory manager, shipment manager, and yard manager. The digital twin of a physical space facilitates use cases for facility management, security safety, customer or worker experiences, asset tracking and more.
● IoT Devices, Sensors and Tags - Our RTLS asset tracking hardware includes a full end-to-end portfolio of IoT sensors (also known as nodes or anchors) and tracking tags to track assets or personnel. This portfolio leverages our own products for ultra-wideband (UWB) and chirp spread spectrum (CSS) and GPS while incorporating support for third party integrated BLE, RFID and LiDAR solutions. In the security space, a version of our sensor enables detection of cellular, Wi-Fi and BLE signals that is combined with UWB to offer security and high value asset tracking solutions. Chirp technology is effective for longer range communication while UWB is an important RF standard for pinpoint asset tracking. Organizations across many different industries can leverage the accuracy, low-latency, and reliability of both technologies to track the real-time location and status of key assets and equipment, with precision. Users can display and track the static location and movement of assets and asset attribute information within a space on indoor maps.
● Transceivers/Modules - Our nanoLOC transceiver is a low-power, highly integrated mixed-signal chip. This 2.4 GHz long range CSS transceiver transmits and receives wireless data packets for robust wireless communications, ranging capabilities, and real-time location determination. Our chirp leverages a patented, Company-owned technology and offers range comparable to Wi-Fi systems with accuracy of BLE or UWB in some scenarios. Supporting a freely adjustable center frequency with three non-overlapping frequency channels, amongst others, our nanoLOC enables multiple physically independent networks and improved coexistence with existing 2.4 GHz wireless technologies. This product is also available in a module form to allow easier integration for our partners and integrators.
● Analytics and Insights - Our cloud-based analytics platform allows data from multiple sensors and data sources to be visualized for action by the customer. Our platforms can engage with data from our IoT sensors, mobile apps, third-party sensors and data that is ingested via an application programming interface (“API”) or data import. Analytics enable, for instance, factory operators to visualize and analyze the flow of products through the facility to address bottlenecks and improve efficiency and productivity.
● Wireless Device Detection for Security - Our wireless detection and positioning solutions help cultivate situational awareness and identify security risks by leveraging sensors with proprietary technology that can detect and position active cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and UWB signals throughout a venue. This solution allows for the positioning of people and assets homogeneously as they travel in a controlled space and empowers customers to make key decisions around security, risk mitigation and public safety, at scale. Utilizing various radio signal technologies permits device positioning with accuracy ranging from several meters down to approximately thirty centimeters, depending on the product deployed and conditions in the indoor space. The technology allows for detailed understanding of space and resource utilization, and in security applications it enables detection and identification of authorized and unauthorized devices, prevention of rogue devices through alerts based on rules when unknown devices are detected in restricted areas and asset tracking with centimeter level precision.
Positioning Innovation Powered by Machine Learning
In 2025, we intend to continue to explore the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to improve positioning accuracy, reliability and range which would provide additional benefits to existing customers and unlock new opportunities for our RTLS technology. Here is an example of how we are utilizing AI to enhance our technology: due to fluctuating frequency plotting in the beginning of a project, but after applying advanced AI filter methods and machine learning algorithms we can better understand the radio frequency (RF) behavior as to how the time difference of arrival (TDoA) sync path should be configured in the specific environment considering several attributes. Following these enhancements, we believe our products will be able to assist in providing predictive, more accurate, bidirectional location information to secure and optimize our deployments using hardware that includes iOS and Android smartphones, IoT sensors, access points or BLE beacons.
5G
Building on research and development (R&D) efforts in 2024, we intend to continue to study the worldwide 5G deployments, both public and private, to identify a robust hardware and software solution to detect and position new handsets based on this technology and explore software defined radio solutions, as well as enhancements in antenna technology to provide our customers with additional capabilities in the security field. This is a complex challenge and we are working with partners and customers to understand requirements, use cases and solutions.
Analytics and Insights
Inpixon Analytics on-premises or in the cloud, along with specially-optimized algorithms and industry specific dashboards that are intended to provide better visibility, predictive maintenance, process optimization, security and safety, and data-driven decision-making. Improved visibility gives real-time locations and status of assets, people, and equipment both indoors and outdoors. By collecting and analyzing data from RTLS systems, organizations gain insights from asset movements and use this information to optimize their operations. Predictive maintenance reduces downtime and maintenance costs, as well as improve the lifespan of equipment. Process optimization helps improve productivity, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction. Security and safety helps prevent accidents, reduce the risk of theft, and enhance the overall safety of employees and customers. Data-driven decision making by analyzing data from RTLS systems, organizations gains a better understanding of their operations, identify areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions that drive business value. Furthermore, we are continuing to enhance the integration of ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence (AI), into our RTLS solutions. This innovative integration expands the capabilities of our RTLS, enabling rapid, AI-assisted insights as well as interactive discussions in a conversational medium. Operations managers in production and logistics, in particular, stand to benefit from this transformative development.
Research and Development
TriFan
We plan to seek FAA certification of the TriFan 600 under the FAA’s new “Powered Lift” aircraft category. Initial concept and engineering analysis for the TriFan 600 was completed in July 2015. Legacy XTI built a 65% scale prototype and in May 2019 began initial hover tests. The prototype was successfully hover-tested multiple times. Subsequent to raising private funding during 2021, Legacy XTI hired a number of engineers (employees and consultants) to establish its core engineering organization. Additionally, Legacy XTI retained consulting firms to provide specialized engineering technical knowledge to complement XTI’s team.
In 2022, Legacy XTI updated the exterior design of the TriFan 600, including the location of the wing fans and the horizontal tail, to improve the performance and efficiency of the airplane. Design and engineering for other systems, including the propulsion system, landing gear, cockpit visibility, cabin sizing and structural integrity were also advanced during 2022 and 2023. Legacy XTI identified the initial supply chain and began negotiating with key suppliers globally. As a result of these efforts, Legacy XTI has established a baseline bill-of-materials.
Following a series of scaled model tests and Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis, the engineering team further enhanced the aerodynamic performance and stability of the TriFan 600 and released its latest configuration, C211.2, and included a larger vertical stabilizer, enhanced duct and stator designs, new engine air inlets and exhaust, an updated drive train, and additional system design. The C211.2 configuration is currently undergoing CFD analysis at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In addition, the engineering team continues to evolve the Digital Mockup (DMU), mass properties (i.e., weight) and Global Finite Element Modeling (GFEM) analysis.
In 2024, the Company engaged the FAA in a General Familiarization (Gen Fam) briefing for the TriFan 600. Follow-up meetings with FAA Subject Matter Experts (SME) began in early 2025 and will continue throughout the year to help assess safety, certification standards and potential certification challenges and obstacles. In March 2025, the Company submitted its TriFan 600 Type Certification application and G-1 “basis of certification” to the FAA for review. The G-1 addresses the latest draft Powered Lift Category guidelines and identifies areas unique to the TriFan 600 and intended means of safety and compliance.
The Company is currently working through the TriFan 600’s Preliminary Design Review (“PDR”) update, which we expect to complete in early 2026. During this PDR update, the Company will be refreshing the TriFan 600 vendor / supplier list. For critical suppliers, we will begin signing phased contracts during the first half of 2025. Once the PDR phase is completed, we expect that almost all suppliers for the TriFan 600 will have been identified and most under contract. Supplier systems and subsystems will be integrated into our PDR configuration, C212. We will engage a handful of outside experts to be part of our PDR participants to help assess our PDR “exit” readiness.
After PDR, we will launch our detailed design phase culminating in a Critical Design Review (“CDR”). This phase will include further interactions with suppliers to develop and mature major structures and systems of the airplane. With input from industry-respected suppliers, we believe all systems of the TriFan 600 can be incorporated into the airframe to deliver a fully integrated solution. The fulfillment of this phase is expected to pave the way for approving engineering designs used to build the airplane. The CDR phase will also include ongoing communication with the FAA to discuss and maintain awareness of our compliance with federal regulations. We expect this phase to take approximately 12 to 18 months.
Following the completion of the CDR phase, we will begin fabricating and constructing our full-scale flight test airplane and working towards first flight. After a successful first flight activities, the certification from the FAA is expected to take an additional 18 to 24 months to achieve. As such, we anticipate FAA type certification of the TriFan 600 in 2030.
RTLS & IIoT Solutions
Our management believes that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to research and development efforts to maintain a competitive position. Our RTLS products intersect many emerging fields including metaverse, augmented reality, occupancy planning, industry 4.0, smart cities, and more, and we continue to innovate and patent new methods to solve problems for our customers.
Sales and Marketing
TriFan
Our sales channels include direct sales as well as indirect sales channels which may include one or more regional sales agents or brokers. Indirect sales partners may also provide a range of pre- and post-sales services to our customers including aftermarket support and maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) services using XTI Aerospace parts.
In 2023, we entered into a commercial agreement with a sales and distribution agent for prospective sales of the TriFan 600 airplane and MRO services in certain markets, including 21 countries of the Middle East and North Africa. We have been in discussions with other sales and distribution agents throughout the world and plan to expand our global territory reach via commercial agreements.
We intend to market our airplane through customer-targeted marketing campaigns (e.g., EMS, land management, oil & gas) utilizing our digital presence, webinars, podcasts, national and regional trade shows, conferences, and other media. To best identify target customers, we intend to utilize a Customer Advisory Board - a focus group to solidify the “voice of the customers” and allow us to map customer requirements and use cases to our available features, functions and options.
RTLS & IIoT Solutions
Our sales channels include direct sales as well as indirect sales through channel partners including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), integrators, resellers and distributors. Indirect sales partners may provide a range of pre- and post-sales services to our customers including system design, installation, commissioning and service.
Direct sales representatives are compensated with a base salary and may participate in incentive plans such as commissions or bonuses.
We market our products through industry-focused as well as account-based marketing strategies which utilize SEO, advertising, social media, trade shows, conferences, webinars and other media.
Our RTLS products are primarily sold on a license and SaaS mode, which we call “location as a service” or “LaaS.” In our licensing model, we also typically charge an annual maintenance fee. The LaaS model is typically for a 3-5 year contract and includes license to use, maintenance and hardware upgrades. The LaaS model generates a recurring revenue stream.
Customers
TriFan
We previously had a pre-sales program that included refundable deposits for the TriFan 600 airplane that we intend to reopen later in 2025. Most pre-orders do not include deposits. Pre-sale agreements generally provide customers a delivery slot for their airplanes. The deposits we have received do not create an obligation on the part of the customer to purchase an airplane, and a customer may request the full return of its refundable deposit. Most pre-orders are subject to the execution of a definitive purchase agreement between us and each party that contains the final terms for the purchase of our TriFan 600 airplane, including, but not limited to, the final number of airplanes to be purchased and the timing for delivery of the airplanes. As of the date of this filing, we have conditional pre-orders under a combination of aircraft purchase agreements, non-binding reservation deposit agreements and options for the delivery of more than 290 airplanes.
We have non-binding purchase orders for the purchase of 140 TriFan 600 airplanes, including a non-binding pre-order for the purchase of 100 TriFan 600 airplanes by Mesa Airlines, Inc. (“Mesa”) pursuant to that certain conditional aircraft purchase agreement, dated February 2, 2022, by and among Legacy XTI, Mesa Airlines and Mesa Air Group, Inc. Mesa’s purchase obligations under such agreement are conditioned upon, among other things, certification of our airplane by the FAA and the agreement by the parties of all material terms of the transaction including, but not limited to, delivery dates, airplane specifications, warranties, remedies, milestones relating to the development of the TriFan 600, the type and extent of assistance to be provided by Mesa in obtaining certification of the TriFan 600, branding and marketing matters, and optional equipment in the airplane. If the parties do not agree on such material terms, either party has the right to terminate the agreement if such party determines in its discretion that it is not likely that the material terms will be agreed to in a manner consistent with such party’s business and operational interests (as those interests may change from time to time).
Additionally, we have entered into non-binding options to purchase an aggregate of 40 airplanes with potential purchasers located in the United States and Europe. We have entered into non-binding aircraft reservation deposit agreements for an aggregate of 114 airplanes with potential purchasers located in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Dubai, India, Japan, Brazil, and the United States. Customers making reservation deposits are not obligated to purchase any airplanes until they execute a definitive purchase agreement. We have written letters of intent (without deposits) with customers for an additional 105 airplanes. Customers may request a return of their refundable deposits any time up until the execution of a purchase agreement. These conditional orders and reservations represent the potential of more than $3.0 billion in future gross revenue upon delivery of those airplanes, assuming the low end of our current list price range of $10 million per airplane assuming we can execute on the development program for the TriFan 600, secure FAA certification, and deliver these airplanes.
RTLS & IIoT Solutions
Our RTLS offerings which include real-time location tracking, collision avoidance and wireless device detections are used around the world in automotive factories, heavy equipment factories, logistics and distribution warehouses, mining operations, government and military buildings, and corporate offices.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, four customers accounted for over 10% of revenue (23%, 14%, 13%, and 11%, respectively). The Company had no revenue during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Competition
TriFan
The private jet and private business aircraft markets are highly competitive, and we face a significant number of original equipment manufacturer competitors, most of which are larger, better known and have better financial resources than us. When the TriFan 600 goes into production, we believe it will compete with other aircraft manufacturers by providing our customers with what we believe is a unique airplane with distinct and largely unique performance capabilities at a competitive purchase price. We believe the TriFan 600 airplane will be one of a small number of aircraft that offers the speed, range and comfort of a business airplane with the versatility of VTOL. As we expect that the TriFan 600 will be capable of flying greater distances and on average at twice the speed and three times the range of competing helicopters, we expect the TriFan 600 to offer lower direct operating costs (cost per flight hour) and be able to fly almost twice as many missions, thus generating additional cost savings and revenue for airlines and aircraft operators when compared with helicopters.
RTLS & IIoT Solutions
Our RTLS business is characterized by innovation and rapid change. Our RTLS Indoor Intelligence products compete with companies such as Aruba, Cisco, Juniper Networks/Mist Systems, Ubisense, Sewio, Kinexon, Zebra Technologies and other mostly vertical focused RTLS companies. Some competitors determine positioning primarily using BLE or Wi-Fi and, therefore, we believe they cannot achieve the same accuracy that we do and so cannot meet some customers’ needs. Many RTLS competitors are focused on one technology and/or vertical and, at this time, we believe none of them have as complete an offering of tags, anchors, positioning, engine, software, integrations and analytics.
We believe we offer a unique and differentiated approach to the market with our industrial RTLS which is:
● Comprehensive. We offer full-stack RTLS solutions which seamlessly integrates tracking tags, anchors, sensors, positioning engine, software, and connections to third-party systems. We integrate a myriad of indoor data inputs and outputs. With a single platform we can support a multitude of use cases across numerous industries in both the private and public sector.
● Scalable. Our solutions are built to support customers’ expanding needs and use cases. Unlike many other competitive point-solutions, we can offer expansion paths and support for a wide variety of location-based use cases at large, multi-size, global enterprises. Our multi-layered depiction of indoor data allows users to see the information most relevant to their role, in the optimal format for them (e.g., charts, tables, maps, etc.).
● Technology-agnostic and open. We embrace an ecosystem of hardware, software, integration and distribution partners welcoming integration and synchronization with third party data and systems in combination with our platform. Our open architecture is designed to enable the integration of disparate technologies, preserve investment and avoid obsolescence. APIs and MQTT make it possible to move data in and out of our platform to enable a plethora of opportunities and benefits.
Intellectual Property
TriFan
We have received a utility patent (US Patent 9,676,479) and a design patent (US Patent D741247) for a VTOL airplane that includes a pair of ducted lift/thrust fans that are rotatably moveable between the lift and thrust positions. Based on those U.S. patents, the Company has also applied for and has been issued multiple additional foreign utility patents, including from China, Japan, Europe and Canada. We have sought to protect our intellectual property using patents and trade secrets. Employee and third-party consultants have signed non-disclosure agreements with Legacy XTI which include standard provisions related to assignment of work product and other requirements to further protect its proprietary rights. We are continuing to develop intellectual property, and we intend to aggressively protect our position in key technologies. We own several trademarks protecting Legacy XTI’s name and logo. Our intellectual property also includes extensive data, engineering analyses and other know-how.
We have obtained broad patent protection in both respects through the above-referenced patents. Under the European patent, we have applied for issuance of patents in the U.K., France, Germany, and Italy, where we expect the airplane will be sold and used. Patents are also pending in Brazil.
RTLS
To establish and protect our proprietary rights, we rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, including know-how, license agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements with third parties, employee disclosure and invention assignment agreements, and other contractual rights. We do not believe that our proprietary technology is dependent on any single patent or copyright or groups of related patents or copyrights. We believe the duration of our patents is adequate relative to the expected lives of our products.
In connection with the Company’s disposition of its enterprise app business lines to CXApp, Inc. in March 2023 (see Part III, Item 11 “Executive Compensation - Completed Transaction Bonus Plan” for more information about this disposition), each of the Company and CXApp, Inc. granted the other party (each, a “Licensee”) a limited worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty free, fully paid up, perpetual license to use, practice and otherwise exploit such intellectual property (with certain exceptions) that is owned, controlled or purported to be owned or controlled by the other party (the “Licensor”) to the extent used, practiced or otherwise exploited in the business of the Licensee during the twelve (12) months prior to the separation or is reasonably anticipated to be used after the separation for the conduct of any business of the Licensee as conducted on or prior to the separation and reasonably anticipated extension or evolutions thereof that are not substitutes for any product or service of the Licensor.
Government Regulation
In general, we are subject to numerous federal, state and foreign legal requirements on matters as diverse as data privacy and protection, employment and labor relations, immigration, taxation, anticorruption, import/export controls, trade restrictions, internal and disclosure control obligations, securities regulation and anti-competition.
Violations of one or more of these diverse legal requirements in the conduct of our business could result in significant fines and other damages, criminal sanctions against us or our officers, prohibitions on doing business and damage to our reputation. Violations of these regulations or contractual obligations related to regulatory compliance in connection with the performance of customer contracts could also result in liability for significant monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity and other reputational damage, restrictions on our ability to compete for certain work and allegations by our customers that we have not performed our contractual obligations. To date, compliance with these regulations has not been financially burdensome.
Aviation Regulations
In the U.S., civil aviation is regulated by the FAA, which controls virtually every aspect of flight from pilot licensing to aircraft design and construction, and use of the public air space within the boundaries and territorial waters of the United States. The FAA requires that every civilian aircraft that flies in the U.S. carry a valid “type certificate” and airworthiness certificate issued by the FAA or a foreign civil aviation authority.
We intend to seek approval for the design of the TriFan 600 by obtaining a standard Type Certificate under Federal Aviation Regulations, in particular the criteria set forth under the “Powered Lift” regulations. In March 2025, the Company submitted its Type Certification application to the FAA. The FAA will oversee extensive testing and analysis of the TriFan 600 to confirm the airplane’s safety, stability, reliability, performance, and compliance with the applicable airworthiness standards.
In addition, once the FAA issues a type certificate to the Company, we intend to apply for a production certificate, the FAA’s approval required for the manufacture of an FAA-approved type design, to enable the Company to manufacture the TriFan in commercial quantities. TriFan 600 airplane that are manufactured by XTI in accordance with the type certificate and the production certificate will be delivered to customers along with a certificate of airworthiness. To obtain a production certificate from the FAA, we must demonstrate that our organization and our personnel, facilities, and quality system can produce the airplane such that they conform to the approved design.
Since we are not permitted to deliver commercially produced aircraft to customers until any such aircraft has obtained FAA certification, no material aircraft sales revenue will be generated before receipt of FAA certification. The process of obtaining a valid type certificate, production certificate and airworthiness certificate for the TriFan 600 will take several years.
In addition to the FAA, customers’ operation of the TriFan 600 will be regulated by various state, county, and municipal agencies. Specifically, flight of the TriFan 600 will be regulated by the FAA, while the ability to take off and land will be governed by the FAA and various zoning restrictions imposed by non-federal agencies in each location where an owner of the TriFan 600 intends to operate. These restrictions vary by location. Some government and private locations in the U.S. and around the world limit or prohibit the use of aircraft. There are currently over 5,000 helipads in the U.S. where helicopters are allowed to land. Thus, we expect that customers will be able to legally land the TriFan 600 in these locations and at thousands of other paved areas or grassy areas, job sites, residential and commercial locations in the U.S. and around the world where it’s safe and legal to land VTOL aircraft, as well as smaller general aviation airports unavailable to conventional business aircraft and jets.
Employees
As of April 11, 2025, we have 47 employees, including 4 part-time employees, which includes all employees of our subsidiaries. This includes 3 officers, 7 sales personnel, 4 marketing personnel, 20 technical and engineering personnel and 9 finance, other executive, legal and administration personnel.
Business Combination
On July 24, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (amended on December 30, 2023 and March 12, 2024, the “XTI Merger Agreement”) by and among us, Superfly Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and our then wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and XTI Aircraft Company, a Delaware corporation (“Legacy XTI”). Pursuant to the XTI Merger Agreement, on March 12, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy XTI (the “XTI Merger”), with Legacy XTI surviving the XTI Merger as our wholly-owned subsidiary. Following the effective time of the XTI Merger (the “Effective Time”) on the Closing Date, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name from “Inpixon” to “XTI Aerospace, Inc.” and the combined company opened for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on March 13, 2024 under the new ticker symbol “XTIA”.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, we effected a 1-for-100 reverse split of our outstanding shares of common stock.
Corporate Information
We currently have two direct, wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: XTI Aircraft Company, based in Englewood, Colorado (at our corporate headquarters), and Inpixon GmbH (previously Nanotron Technologies GmbH), based in Berlin, Germany. IntraNav GmbH, based in Eschborn, Germany (“IntraNav”), is an indirect subsidiary of the Company and the wholly-owned subsidiary of Inpixon GmbH.
Our principal executive offices are located at Centennial Airport at 8123 InterPort Blvd., Suite C, Englewood, Colorado 80112. This facility houses our principal executive office, finance, and other administrative activities, although our employees and consultants mostly work remotely. Our engineers are working remotely throughout the U.S.
We believe that our facility in Colorado meets our needs for the immediate future. During 2024, we commenced a site selection process to identify a facility located at an airport within the continental U.S. that will allow us to consolidate engineers and other administrative employees, perform flight simulations, perform propulsion rig and prototype flight tests, and potentially expand to a full production site with a facility for pilot training. It is not yet determined whether our corporate headquarters will change from the current location at Centennial Airport.
Our telephone number is (800) 680-7412. We have also agreed to sublease office space in Palo Alto, California. Two of our subsidiaries, Inpixon GmbH and IntraNav, maintain offices in Berlin Germany, and Eschborn, Germany, respectively. Our Internet website is www.xtiaerospace.com. The information on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this report, and you should not rely on any such information in making any investment decision relating to our common stock.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
We are subject to various risks and uncertainties that may materially harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. An investment in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. In evaluating an investment in shares of our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information included in this report.
If any of the events described in the following risk factors actually occurs, or if additional risks and uncertainties later materialize, that are not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, then our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and investors in our common stock may lose all or part of their investment in our shares. The risks discussed below include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.
Summary Risk Factors
The following summarizes the risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and stock price. You should read this summary together with the more detailed description of each risk factor contained below.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
● We have a limited operating history and have not yet manufactured any non-prototype aircraft, delivered any aircraft to customers or generated any revenues from our aircraft business, and we may never develop or manufacture any VTOL aircraft according to our current development schedule, or at all.
● We will require FAA certification, and a delay in receiving such certification could adversely affect our prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations.
● The pre-orders we have received for our TriFan 600 airplane are non-binding, conditional or written expressions of interest and may be terminated at any time prior to execution of a definitive purchase agreement. If these pre-orders are cancelled, modified, delayed or not placed in accordance with the terms agreed with each party, our business, results of operations, liquidity and cash flow will be materially adversely affected.
● We have a history of losses, and in order to successfully execute our business plan, we will need to raise additional capital through additional debt or equity financing, which may otherwise not be available on reasonable terms or at all.
● As a result of our failure to timely file a Current Report on Form 8-K, we are currently ineligible to use Form S-3 until August 2025, which may impair our ability to raise capital on terms favorable to us, in a timely manner or at all.
● Operating aircraft carries a degree of inherent risk. Accidents or incidents involving VTOL aircraft, us or our competitors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
● The market for a civilian long-range fixed-wing VTOL aircraft is new and untested. If such market does not respond at the level we expect or if it fails to grow as large as we expect, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.
● If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property rights, we may experience a loss of revenue and our operations and growth prospects may be materially harmed.
● We have completed several strategic transactions including acquisitions and dispositions, which may make it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our future business. Any future acquisitions or dispositions could disrupt our business and harm our business, financial condition or operating results. Furthermore, due to the risks and uncertainties related to the acquisition of new businesses, any such acquisition does not guarantee that we will be able to attain profitability.
● We have been subject to government or regulatory investigations or inquiries under national, regional and local laws, as amended from time to time, and may be required to comply with data requests, or requests for information by government authorities and regulators in the United States or other jurisdictions in which we operate and any resulting enforcement action could have a materially adverse effect on us.
● Digital threats such as cyber-attacks, data protection breaches, computer viruses or malware on our customers ’ networks, or in cloud-based services provided by or enabled by us, could result in liability for us, damage our reputation or otherwise harm our business.
● Any failures or interruptions in our services or systems could disrupt our business and impair our ability to effectively provide our RTLS services and products to our customers, which could damage our reputation and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
● The growth of our RTLS business is dependent on increasing sales to our existing customers and obtaining new customers, which, if unsuccessful, could limit our financial performance.
Risks Related to Our Securities
● Our failure to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market may result in our common stock being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, which could negatively impact the price of our common stock, liquidity, our ability to access the capital markets and our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares.
● We are subject to certain contractual limitations that could materially adversely affect our ability to consummate future financings.
● Our stock price may be volatile, and your investment may suffer a decline in value as a result of the volatility of our stock.
● Sales of our common stock or other securities, or the perception that future sales may occur, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, even if our business is doing well.
● There may be future sales or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
● We may issue debt and equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, any of which may be senior to our common stock as to distributions and in liquidation, which could negatively affect the value of our common stock.
● If our common stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.
● We do not intend to pay cash dividends to our stockholders, so it is unlikely that stockholders will receive any return on their investment in our Company prior to selling our stock.
● Some provisions of Nevada law, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws may deter takeover attempts, which may inhibit a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and limit the opportunity of our stockholders to sell their shares at a favorable price.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
We have a limited operating history and have not yet manufactured any non-prototype aircraft, delivered any aircraft to customers or generated any revenues from our aircraft business, and we may never develop or manufacture any VTOL aircraft according to our current development schedule, or at all.
We have a limited operating history in the VTOL aircraft industry. Our primary VTOL aircraft product is the TriFan 600 airplane, which is currently in the developmental stage. If we are successful in commercially producing the TriFan 600 according to our current development schedule, we do not expect to be able to obtain approval from the FAA and regulatory bodies in other countries, and commence deliveries until 2030 at the earliest, if at all. We have no experience as an organization in high volume manufacturing of the TriFan 600 or any other type of aircraft. We cannot assure you that we or our partners will be able to develop efficient, automated, cost-efficient manufacturing capabilities and processes and reliable sources of component supplies that will enable us to meet the quality, price, engineering, design and production standards, as well as the production volumes, required to successfully mass market our aircraft. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and significant challenges we face as a new entrant into our industry, including, among other things, with respect to our ability to:
● design and produce safe, reliable and quality aircraft on an ongoing basis;
● obtain the necessary regulatory approvals in a timely manner;
● build a well-recognized and respected brand;
● establish and expand our customer base;
● successfully service our aircraft after sales and maintain a good flow of spare parts and customer goodwill;
● improve and maintain our operational efficiency;
● predict our future revenues and appropriately budget for our expenses;
● attract, retain and motivate talented employees;
● anticipate trends that may emerge and affect our business;
● anticipate and adapt to changing market conditions, including technological developments and changes in our competitive landscape; and
● navigate an evolving and complex regulatory environment.
If we fail to adequately address any or all of these risks and challenges, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. There is no assurance that we will ever be profitable or generate sufficient revenue to pay dividends to the holders of our common stock. We do not believe we will be able to generate revenues from the sale of aircraft without successfully securing FAA certification of the TriFan 600 airplane, which involves substantial risk. As a result, we are dependent upon raising sufficient financing to fund the Company until the TriFan 600’s first flight, including building the first test airplane. If planned operating levels are changed, higher operating costs encountered, lower sales revenue received, more time is needed to implement the plan, or less funding is received from customer deposits or sales, more investor funds than currently anticipated may be required. Additional difficulties may be encountered prior to FAA certification, such as unanticipated problems relating to development, testing, and initial and continuing regulatory compliance, vendor manufacturing costs, production and assembly, and the competitive and regulatory environments in which we intend to operate. If additional capital is not available when required, or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be forced to modify or abandon our business plan.
We will require FAA certification, and a delay in receiving such certification could adversely affect our prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations.
The TriFan 600 is still in the development stage, and we are still working to obtain FAA type certification of the TriFan 600. Certification by the FAA will be required for the sale of the TriFan 600 in the civil or commercial market in the United States. The process to obtain such certification is expensive and time consuming and has inherent engineering risks. These include (but are not limited to) ground test risks such as structural strength and fatigue resistance, and structural flutter modes. Flight test risks include (but are not limited to) stability and handling over the desired center-of-gravity range, performance extremes (stalls, balked-landing climb, single-engine climb), and flutter control effectiveness (aircraft roll effectiveness, controllability, various control failure safety). Delays in FAA certification can be expected to result in us incurring increased costs in attempting to correct any issues causing such delays. Also, the impact of new or changed laws or regulations on the TriFan 600’s certification or the costs of complying with such laws and regulations cannot be predicted.
The pre-orders we have received for our TriFan 600 airplane are non-binding, conditional or written expressions of interest and may be terminated at any time prior to execution of a definitive purchase agreement. If these pre-orders are cancelled, modified, delayed or not placed in accordance with the terms agreed with each party, our business, results of operations, liquidity and cash flow will be materially adversely affected.
We previously had a pre-sales program that included refundable deposits for the TriFan 600 airplane that we intend to reopen later in 2025. Most pre-orders do not include deposits. Pre-sale agreements generally provide customers a delivery slot for their airplanes. The deposits we have received do not create an obligation on the part of the customer to purchase an airplane, and a customer may request the full return of its refundable deposit. Most pre-orders are subject to the execution of a definitive purchase agreement between us and each party that contains the final terms for the purchase of our TriFan 600 airplane, including, but not limited to, the final number of airplanes to be purchased and the timing for delivery of the airplanes. Some or most customers might not transition to non-refundable purchase contracts until prior to aircraft delivery, if at all. Aircraft customers might respond to weak economic conditions or competitive alternatives in the market by canceling orders, resulting in lower demand for our TriFan 600 airplane and other materials, such as parts, services, and training, from which we expect to generate additional revenue. Customers’ request for a return of their refundable deposits could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and/or liquidity, including, but not limited to, the possibility that we may be financially unable to return such deposits.
We have a history of losses, and in order to successfully execute our business plan, we will need to raise additional capital through additional debt or equity financing, which may otherwise not be available on reasonable terms or at all.
We incurred net losses of approximately $35.6 million and $25.1 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $93.6 million as of December 31, 2024. These losses and prior-year losses have resulted in significant negative cash flows. The continuation of our Company is dependent upon attaining and maintaining profitable operations in our RTLS business and executing timely on our design, FAA certification and eventual production of the TriFan 600 and raising additional capital as needed, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any further financing.
Our management is evaluating options and strategic transactions and continuing to market and promote our new products and technologies, however, there is no guarantee that these efforts will be successful or that we will be able to achieve or sustain profitability. Even if we are able to successfully develop and sell our aircraft, there can be no assurance that the aircraft will be commercially successful and achieve or sustain profitability. We expect the rate at which we will incur losses to be significantly higher in future periods as we, among other things, certify and assemble our aircraft, deploy our facilities, build up inventories of parts and components for our aircraft, increase our sales and marketing activities, develop our manufacturing infrastructure and increase our general and administrative functions to support our growing operations. These efforts may not result in the Company reaching profitability, which would further increase our losses. We have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from public and private offerings of our common stock and secured and unsecured debt instruments. Our history of operating losses and cash uses, our projections of the level of cash that will be required for our operations to reach profitability, may impair our ability to raise capital on terms that we consider reasonable and at the levels that we will require over the coming months.
To the extent that we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, such an issuance may cause significant dilution to our stockholders’ ownership and the terms of any new equity securities may have preferences over our common stock. Any debt financing that we enter into may involve covenants that restrict our operations. These restrictive covenants may include limitations on additional borrowing and specific restrictions on the use of our assets, as well as prohibitions on our ability to create liens, pay dividends, redeem its stock or make investments. In addition, if we raise additional funds through licensing, partnering or other strategic arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish rights to some of our technologies and proprietary rights, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. We have issued, and may in the future issue, incentive awards under our equity incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue in the future such as convertible notes and warrants, which would adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by factors, including the condition of the economy and capital markets, both generally and specifically in our industry, and the fact that we are neither cash flow positive nor profitable, which could affect the availability or cost of future financing. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to secure additional funding from public or private offerings or debt financings on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our limited revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may need to reduce our operations by, for example, selling certain assets or business segments.
As a result of our failure to timely file a Current Report on Form 8-K, we are currently ineligible to use Form S-3 until August 2025, which may impair our ability to raise capital on terms favorable to us, in a timely manner or at all.
Form S-3 permits eligible issuers to conduct registered offerings using a short form registration statement that allows the issuer to incorporate by reference its past and future filings and reports made under the Exchange Act. In addition, Form S-3 enables eligible issuers to conduct primary offerings “off the shelf” under Rule 415 of the Securities Act. The shelf registration process, combined with the ability to forward incorporate information, allows issuers to avoid delays and interruptions in the offering process and to access the capital markets in a more expeditious and efficient manner than raising capital in a standard registered offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1. The ability to register securities for resale may also be limited as a result of the loss of Form S-3 eligibility.
As a result of our failure to timely file a Current Report on Form 8-K, we are currently ineligible to use Form S-3 until August 2025. Our inability to use Form S-3 may significantly impair our ability to raise necessary capital to fund our operations and execute our strategy. If we seek to access the capital markets through a registered offering during the period of time that we are unable to use Form S-3, we may be required to publicly disclose the proposed offering and the material terms thereof before the offering commences, we may experience delays in the offering process due to SEC review of a Form S-1 registration statement and we may incur increased offering and transaction costs and other considerations. Disclosing a public offering prior to the formal commencement of an offering may result in downward pressure on our stock price. If we are unable to raise capital through a registered offering, we would be required to conduct our equity financing transactions on a private placement basis, which may be subject to pricing, size and other limitations imposed under the Nasdaq rules, or seek other sources of capital. The foregoing limitations on our financing approaches could prevent us from pursuing transactions or implementing business strategies that would be beneficial to our business.
Operating aircraft carries a degree of inherent risk. Accidents or incidents involving VTOL aircraft, us or our competitors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Test flying a prototype aircraft is inherently risky, and accidents or incidents involving our aircraft are possible. Any such occurrence would negatively impact our development, testing and certification efforts, and could result in re-design, certification delay and/or postponements or delays to the sales of our aircraft.
The operation of an aircraft is subject to various risks, and we expect demand for our aircraft to be impacted by accidents or other safety issues regardless of whether such accidents or issues involve our aircraft. Such accidents or incidents could also have a material impact on our ability to obtain certification from the FAA and/or international regulators for our aircraft, or to obtain such certification in a timely manner. Such events could impact confidence in a particular aircraft type or the air transportation services industry as a whole, particularly if such accidents or disasters were due to a safety fault. We believe that regulators and the general public are still forming opinions about the safety and utility of various new types of VTOL aircraft, particularly “air taxis”, which are also known as “eVTOLs.” An accident or incident involving either our VTOL aircraft or an eVTOL aircraft during these early stages of opinion formation could have a disproportionate impact on the longer-term view of the advanced VTOL aircraft market generally.
There may be heightened public skepticism of new types of VTOL aircraft and its adopters. In particular, there could be negative public perception surrounding air taxis, including the overall safety and the potential for injuries or death occurring as a result of accidents involving them, regardless of whether any such safety incidents involve our aircraft. Any of the foregoing risks and challenges could adversely affect the combined company’s prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are at risk of adverse publicity stemming from any public incident involving our company, our people, our brand or other companies in our industry. Such an incident could involve the actual or alleged behavior of any of our employees or third-party contractors. Further, if our personnel, our TriFan 600 airplane or other types of aircraft are involved in a public incident, accident, catastrophe or regulatory enforcement action, we could be exposed to significant reputational harm and potential legal liability. The insurance we carry may be inapplicable or inadequate to cover any such incident, accident, catastrophe or action. In the event that our insurance is inapplicable or inadequate, we may be forced to bear substantial losses from an incident or accident. In addition, any such incident, accident, catastrophe or action involving our employees, our TriFan 600 airplane or other types of aircraft could create an adverse public perception, which could harm our reputation, result in passengers being reluctant to use our services and adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We operate in highly competitive markets and we may be required to reduce the prices for some of our products and services to remain competitive, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
The TriFan 600 potentially competes with a variety of aircraft manufacturers in the United States and abroad. Further, we could face competition from competitors of whom we are not aware that have developed or are developing technologies that will offer alternatives to the TriFan 600. Competitors could develop an aircraft that renders the TriFan 600 less competitive than we believe it will become. Many existing potential competitors are well-established, have or may have longer-standing relationships with customers and potential business partners, have or may have greater name recognition, and have or may have access to significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources. Other manufacturers may be developing a light, fixed-wing, VTOL airplane with performance similar to that of the TriFan 600.
Additionally, the RTLS industry is developing rapidly and related technology trends are constantly evolving. In this environment, we face, among other things, significant price competition from our competitors. As a result, we may be forced to reduce the prices of the RTLS products and services we sell in response to offerings made by our competitors and may not be able to maintain the level of bargaining power that we have enjoyed in the past when negotiating the prices of our products and services. If we are not able to maintain favorable pricing for our RTLS products and services, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
The market for a civilian long-range fixed-wing VTOL airplane is new and untested. If such market does not respond at the level we expect or if it fails to grow as large as we expect, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.
The market for a civilian long-range fixed-wing VTOL airplane is completely new and untested. Our success in this market is dependent upon our ability to effectively market and sell travel and other applications by the TriFan 600 as a substitute for conventional methods of air transportation (i.e., helicopters and/or light and mid-size business aircraft) and the effectiveness of our other marketing and growth efforts. We have projected the market for the TriFan 600 based upon a variety of internal and external market data. The estimates involve assumptions, which may not be realized in fact. There can be no assurance that our estimates for the number of TriFan 600 airplane that may be sold in the market will be as anticipated. If the public does not respond as expected as a result of concerns regarding safety, affordability or for other reasons, then the market for our offerings may not develop, may develop more slowly than we expect or may not achieve the growth potential we expect, any of which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Developing new products and technologies entails significant risks and uncertainties.
Delays or cost overruns in the development or certification of the TriFan 600 and failure of the product to meet its performance estimates is likely to affect our financial performance. Delays and increased costs may be caused by unanticipated technological hurdles, changes to design or failure on the part of our suppliers to deliver components as agreed. This may further delay the development and/or certification of the TriFan 600.
Additionally, the TriFan 600 may not perform at the level we expect or may contain defects in design and manufacture that may cause them not to perform as expected or that may require repair. It is not possible to fully replicate every operating condition and validate the long-term durability of every aspect of our aircraft in testing prior to its use in service. In some instances, we may need to continue to rely upon projections and models to validate the projected performance of our aircraft over their lifetime. Therefore, similar to most aerospace products, there is a risk that our aircraft may suffer unforeseen faults, defect or other issues in service. Such faults, defects and other issues may require significant additional research and development to rectify and could involve suspension of operation of our aircraft until any such defects can be cured. There can be no assurance that such research and development efforts would result in viable products or cure any such defects. Obtaining the necessary data and results may take longer than planned or may not be obtained at all. Any such delays or setbacks could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and our ability to achieve our projected timelines and financial goals.
If we are unable to obtain and maintain adequate facilities and infrastructure, we may be unable to develop and manufacture the aircraft as expected, and our aircraft may require maintenance at frequencies or at costs that are greater than expected.
In order to develop and manufacture our aircraft, we must be able to obtain and maintain adequate facilities and infrastructure. We may be unsuccessful in obtaining, developing and/or maintaining these facilities in a commercially viable manner. Even if we are able to begin assembly operations in these facilities, maintenance of these facilities will require considerable capital expenditure as we expand operations. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in obtaining and maintaining adequate facilities and infrastructure, and any failure to do so may result in our inability to develop and manufacture our aircraft as expected or on the timelines projected, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Moreover, the TriFan 600, when produced, is anticipated to require regular maintenance and support. We are still developing our understanding of the long-term maintenance profile of the airplane, and if useful lifetimes are shorter than expected, this may lead to greater maintenance costs than previously anticipated. If the TriFan 600 and related equipment require maintenance more frequently than we plan for or at costs that exceed our estimates, that would have an impact on the sales of our aircraft and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There may be a shortage of pilots and mechanics who meet the training standards required, which could reduce our ability to sell our aircraft at scale and on our expected timelines.
There is a shortage of pilots that is expected to exacerbate over time as more pilots in the industry approach mandatory retirement age. Similarly, trained and qualified aircraft and aviation mechanics are also in short supply. If these shortages continue, the aviation industry as a whole and our business may face challenges.
Operations could be adversely affected by interruptions of production that are beyond our control.
We intend to produce the TriFan 600 and its derivatives using systems, components and parts developed and manufactured by third-party suppliers. This supply chain exposes us to multiple potential sources of delivery failure or component shortages for our aircraft, most of which are out of our control, including shortages of, or disruptions in the supply of, the raw materials used by our partners in the manufacture of components, disruptions to our partners’ workforce (such as strikes or labor shortfalls) and disruptions to, or capacity constraints affecting, shipping and logistics. Such suppliers may be subject to additional risks such as financial problems that limit their ability to conduct their operations. If any of these third parties experience difficulties, it may have a direct negative impact on us.
While we believe that we may be able to establish alternate supply relationships and can obtain replacement components, we may be unable to do so in the short term or at all at prices that are acceptable to us or may need to recertify components. We may experience source disruptions in our or our partners’ supply chains, which may cause delays in our overall production process for both prototype and commercial production aircraft.
If we needed to find alternative suppliers for any of the key components of our aircraft, then this could increase our costs and adversely affect our ability to receive such components on a timely basis, or at all, which could cause significant delays in our overall projected timelines for the delivery of our aircraft and adversely affect our relationships with our customers.
In addition, if we experience a significant increase in demand, or need to replace our existing suppliers, there can be no assurance that additional suppliers of component parts will be available when required on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, or that any supplier would allocate sufficient supplies to us in order to meet our requirements or fill our orders in a timely manner. Further, if we are unable to manage successfully our relationships with all of our suppliers and partners, the quality and availability of our aircraft may be harmed. Our suppliers or partners could, under some circumstances, decline to accept new purchase orders from, or otherwise reduce their business with, us. Any disruptions in the supply of components from our suppliers and partners could lead to delays in aircraft production, which would materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Further, if any conflicts arise between our suppliers or partners and us, the other party may act in a manner adverse to us and could limit our ability to implement our business strategies, which could impact our projected production timelines and number of aircraft produced. Our suppliers or partners may also develop, either alone or with others, products in related fields that are competitive with our products as a result of any conflicts or disagreements. Any disagreements or conflicts with our suppliers or partners could have an adverse effect on our reputation, which could also negatively impact our ability to source new suppliers or partners.
Any changes in business conditions, wars, governmental changes, political intervention and other factors beyond our control or which we do not presently anticipate, could also affect our partners’ and suppliers’ abilities to deliver components to us on a timely basis, which could have a material adverse effect on our overall timelines to produce our aircraft. We do not control our suppliers or partners or such parties’ labor and other legal compliance practices, including their environmental, health and safety practices. If our current suppliers or partners, or any other suppliers or partners which we may use in the future, violates any specific laws or regulations, we may be subjected to extra duties, significant monetary penalties, adverse publicity, the seizure and forfeiture of products that we are attempting to import or the loss of our import privileges. The effects of these factors could render the conduct of our business in a particular country undesirable or impractical and have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property rights, we may experience a loss of revenue and our operations and growth prospects may be materially harmed.
Although we have received certain patents for the TriFan 600 issued by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and various foreign jurisdictions, there is no guarantee that we will receive one or more additional patents for which we will apply to the USPTO or for which we have applied or will apply in foreign jurisdictions. The process of obtaining patent protection is expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. Even if issued, there can be no assurance that these patents will adequately protect our intellectual property, as the legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of patent and other intellectual property rights are complex and often uncertain and are subject to change. There is no guarantee that any court will rule in our favor in the event of a dispute related to our intellectual property. In the absence of further patent protection, it may be more difficult for us to achieve commercial production of the TriFan 600. In addition, any patents issued in the future may not provide us with any competitive advantages because our competitors may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or products that are equal to or superior to our TriFan 600 technology without infringing on any of our intellectual property rights or design around our proprietary technologies.
Furthermore, our proprietary software is protected by common law copyright laws, as opposed to registration under copyright statutes. We have not registered copyrights on any of the proprietary software we have developed. Our performance and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our proprietary technology. Common law protection may be narrower than that which we could obtain under registered copyrights. As a result, we may experience difficulty in enforcing our copyrights against certain third party infringements. As part of our confidentiality-protection procedures, we generally enter into agreements with our employees and consultants and limit access to, and distribution of, our software, documentation and other proprietary information. There can be no assurance that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our technology or that agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable. Moreover, the laws of other countries may afford us little or no protection of our intellectual property. Our inability to protect our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and growth prospects.
We also rely on a variety of technology that we license from third parties. There can be no assurance that these third party technology licenses will continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The loss of or inability to maintain or obtain upgrades to any of these technology licenses could result in delays in completing software enhancements and new development until equivalent technology could be identified, licensed or developed and integrated. Any such delays would materially and adversely affect our business.
Our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.
As of December 31, 2024, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $96.9 million, of which approximately $5.3 million will begin to expire in 2037 and the remainder do not expire. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, federal NOLs generated by us in tax years through December 31, 2017 may be carried forward for 20 years and may fully offset taxable income in the year utilized and federal NOLs generated by us in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 may be carried forward indefinitely but may only be used to offset 80% of our taxable income annually. Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change federal NOLs and other tax attributes (such as research and development tax credits) to offset its post-change income and taxes may be limited. In general, an “ownership change” occurs if there is a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in a corporation’s equity ownership by certain stockholders over a rolling three-year period. We may have experienced ownership changes in the past and may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in our stock ownership (some of which shifts are outside our control). As a result, our ability to our pre-change federal NOLs and other tax attributes to offset future taxable income and taxes could be subject to limitations. Similar provisions of state tax law may also apply. For these reasons, even if we achieve profitability, we may be unable to use a material portion of our NOLs and other tax attributes which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may enter into joint venture, teaming and other arrangements, and these activities involve risks and uncertainties. A failure of any such relationship could have material adverse results on our business and results of operations.
We may enter into joint venture, teaming and other arrangements. These activities involve risks and uncertainties, including the risk of the joint venture or applicable entity failing to satisfy its obligations, which may result in certain liabilities to us for guarantees and other commitments, the challenges in achieving strategic objectives and expected benefits of the business arrangement, the risk of conflicts arising between us and our partners and the difficulty of managing and resolving such conflicts, and the difficulty of managing or otherwise monitoring such business arrangements. In addition, we do not currently have arrangements in place that will allow us to fully execute our business plan, including, without limitation, final supply and manufacturing agreements. Moreover, existing or future arrangements may contain limitations on our ability to enter into arrangements with other partners. A failure of our business relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We are subject to risks associated with climate change, including the potential increased impacts of severe weather events on our operations and infrastructure.
The potential physical effects of climate change, such as increased frequency and severity of high wind conditions, storms, floods, fires, fog, mist, freezing conditions, sea-level rise and other climate-related events, could affect our operations, infrastructure and financial results. Climate change risks could result in but are not limited to operational risk from the physical effect of climate events on our terminal facilities, production facilities and other assets, as well as transitional risks, including new or more stringent regulatory requirements, increased monitoring and disclosure requirements, and potential effects on our reputation and/or changes in our business. We could incur significant costs to improve the climate resiliency of our aircraft or infrastructure and otherwise prepare for, respond to, and mitigate such physical effects of climate change. We are not able to accurately predict the materiality of any potential losses or costs associated with the physical effects of climate change.
Market and regulatory trends to reduce climate change may not evolve in the direction and within the timing expected, which could have a negative impact in our business plan.
A number of governments globally have introduced or are moving to introduce climate change legislation and treaties at the international, national, state/provincial and local levels. Regulation relating to emission levels and energy efficiency is becoming more stringent and is gaining more widespread market approval, as consumers expect companies to play a role in addressing climate change. Our business plan is predicated in part on the idea that market and regulatory trends favoring such “clean” energy and addressing climate change will continue to evolve in our favor. However, any change or reversal in such market and regulatory trends, such as less focus on climate-friendly solutions or less stringent legislation with respect to emissions, could result in lower demand for our aircraft and have an adverse effect on our business.
Investors’ expectations of our performance relating to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors may impose additional costs and expose us to new risks.
There is an increasing focus from investors, employees, customers and other stakeholders concerning corporate responsibility, specifically related to ESG matters. Some investors may use these non-financial performance factors to guide their investment strategies and, in some cases, may choose not to invest in us if they believe our policies and actions relating to corporate responsibility are inadequate. The growing investor demand for measurement of non-financial performance is addressed by third-party providers of sustainability assessments and ratings with respect to public companies. The criteria by which our corporate responsibility practices are assessed may change due to changes in the sustainability landscape, which could cause us to undertake costly initiatives to satisfy such new criteria. If we elect not to or are unable to satisfy such new criteria, investors may conclude that our policies and/or actions with respect to corporate social responsibility are inadequate. We may face reputational damage in the event that we do not meet the ESG standards set by various constituencies.
Insurance and contractual protections may not always cover potential claims, lost revenue, increased expenses or liquidated damages payments, which could adversely affect our financial results.
Although we maintain insurance and intend to obtain warranties from suppliers, obligate subcontractors to meet certain performance levels and attempt, where feasible, to pass risks we cannot control to our customers, the proceeds of such insurance or the warranties, performance guarantees or risk sharing arrangements may not be adequate to cover potential claims, lost revenue, increased expenses or liquidated damages payments that may be required in the future. Moreover, there can be no assurance that present levels of coverage will be available in the future at reasonable cost. We also expect our insurance needs and costs to increase as we build production facilities, manufacture aircraft, establish commercial operations and expand into new markets.
We have completed several strategic transactions including acquisitions and dispositions, which may make it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our future business. Any future acquisitions or dispositions could disrupt our business and harm our business, financial condition or operating results. Furthermore, due to the risks and uncertainties related to the acquisition of new businesses, any such acquisition does not guarantee that we will be able to attain profitability.
We have historically had a strategic acquisition strategy and since 2014 we completed several strategic transactions and spin-offs. Our RTLS business has developed through multiple acquisition transactions. In August 2018, we completed the spin-off of our VAR business, which included our legacy value added reseller business, and in 2019 we completed several other acquisition transactions to expand our product portfolio. In 2020, we acquired the Nanotron business, an exclusive license for the distribution and marketing of statistical analytics and visualization software solutions for engineering and sciences (SAVES) expanding our operations in the United Kingdom and Germany. In 2021, we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of IntraNav GmbH, an industrial IoT (IIoT), real-time location system (RTLS), and sensor data services provider and 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Design Reactor, Inc which operated an enterprise level employee experience app. In 2023, we completed the spin-off of this enterprise apps business. In December 2023, we transferred the UK division of our SAVES business to Damon Motors Inc. (then known as Grafiti Holding Inc.) (“Damon Motors”) in connection with the spin-off and distribution of all of the shares of Damon to our shareholders upon the effectiveness, in November 2024, of Damon’s registration statement related to the spin-off distribution. In February 2024, we divested the remainder of the SAVES and Shoom business in a stock purchase transaction. Our limited operating history after such acquisitions and divestitures makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations or the merits of an investment in our securities.
Any future disposition of assets and business could have material and adverse effect on business, financial conditions, and operations, if not consummated in a timely manner. Such transactions may expose us to unknown or unforeseeable challenges resulting in disruption of business operations, loss of key personnel and ongoing tax benefits treatment, failure to obtain necessary statutory and regulatory approvals, provide ongoing indemnity, and compliance with post-closing obligations, which may affect or prevent us from consummating the transactions, and have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, and operations.
With respect to acquisitions, we are subject to the risks inherent in the financing, expenditures, complications and delays characteristic of a newly combined business, including, but not limited to:
● the purchase price we pay and/or unanticipated costs could significantly deplete our cash reserves or result in dilution to our existing stockholders;
● we may find that the acquired company or technologies do not improve our market position as planned;
● we may have difficulty integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired company, as the combined operations will place significant demands on the Company’s management, technical, financial and other resources;
● personnel, vendors, suppliers and customers of the acquired company may terminate their relationships with the acquired company as a result of the acquisition;
● we may experience additional financial and accounting challenges and complexities in areas such as tax planning and financial reporting;
● we may assume or be held liable for risks and liabilities (including environmental-related costs) as a result of our acquisitions, some of which we may not be able to discover during our due diligence investigation or adequately adjust for in our acquisition arrangements (for example, even if we secure indemnification protections in connection with these acquisitions from undisclosed liabilities, there may not be adequate resources to cover such indemnity);
● our ongoing business and management’s attention may be disrupted or diverted by transition or integration issues and the complexity of managing geographically or culturally diverse enterprises;
● we may incur one-time write-offs or restructuring charges in connection with the acquisition;
● we may acquire goodwill and other intangible assets that are subject to amortization or impairment tests, which could result in future charges to earnings; and
● we may not be able to realize the cost savings or other financial benefits we anticipated.
Accordingly, our business and success faces risks from uncertainties inherent to developing companies in a competitive environment. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.
We may not be able to successfully integrate the business and operations of entities that we have acquired, been acquired by or may acquire in the future into our ongoing business operations, which may result in our inability to fully realize the intended benefits of these acquisitions, or may disrupt our current operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and/or results of operations.
We continue to integrate the technology and operations acquired in connection with our recent acquisitions, including but not limited to the Legacy XTI technology and operations. This process involves complex operational, technological and personnel-related challenges, which are time-consuming and expensive and may disrupt our ongoing business operations. Furthermore, integration involves a number of risks, including, but not limited to:
● difficulties or complications in combining the companies’ operations;
● differences in controls, procedures and policies, regulatory standards and business cultures among the combined companies;
● the diversion of management’s attention from our ongoing core business operations;
● increased exposure to certain governmental regulations and compliance requirements;
● the potential increase in operating costs;
● the potential loss of key personnel;
● the potential loss of key customers or suppliers who choose not to do business with the combined business;
● difficulties or delays in consolidating the acquired companies’ technology platforms, including implementing systems designed to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for the combined company and enable the Company to continue to comply with U.S. GAAP and applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations;
● unanticipated costs to successfully integrate operations, technologies, personnel of acquired businesses and other assumed contingent liabilities;
● difficulty comparing financial reports due to differing financial and/or internal reporting systems;
● making any necessary modifications to internal financial control standards to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and/or
● possible tax costs or inefficiencies associated with integrating the operations of the combined company.
These factors could cause us to not fully realize the anticipated financial and/or strategic benefits of the acquisitions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Even if we are able to successfully operate the acquired businesses, we may not be able to realize the revenue and other synergies and growth that we anticipated from these acquisitions in the time frame that we currently expect, and the costs of achieving these benefits may be higher than what we currently expect, because of a number of risks, including, but not limited to:
● the possibility that the acquisition may not further our business strategy as we expected;
● the possibility that we may not be able to expand the reach and customer base for the acquired companies’ current and future products as expected;
● the possibility that we may have entered a market with no prior experience and may not succeed in the manner expected; and
● the possibility that the carrying amounts of goodwill and other purchased intangible assets may not be recoverable.
As a result of these risks, the acquisitions and integration may not contribute to our earnings as expected, we may not achieve expected revenue synergies or our return on invested capital targets when expected, or at all, and we may not achieve the other anticipated strategic and financial benefits of the acquisitions.
The ongoing impact of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Israel/Hamas conflict may result in an increase in the likelihood of supply chain constraints, contribute to inflation driving up the cost of material and labor required to make our products, the effects of which remains uncertain and may have a material adverse impact on our business, operations and financial conditions.
The ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine has had an impact on our business and the Israel/Hamas conflict may increase the likelihood of supply interruptions which may hinder our ability to find the materials we need to make our products. Supply disruptions are making it harder for us to find favorable pricing and reliable sources for the materials we need, putting upward pressure on our costs and increasing the risk that we may be unable to acquire the materials and services we need to continue to make certain products. The wider implications of the conflict have contributed to inflation driving up the costs of labor and materials required to make our products. The fluidity and continuation of the Russian conflict may result in additional economic sanctions and other impacts which could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including decreased sales; supply chain and logistics disruptions; volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates; inflationary pressures on materials and labor; and heightened cybersecurity threats. The overall impact on our business of these events continues to remain uncertain and there are no assurances that we will be able to continue to experience the same growth or not be materially adversely affected.
Changes in U.S. and foreign government administrative policy, including the imposition of or increases in tariffs and changes to existing trade agreements, and other changes to macroeconomic conditions could have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and our business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition.
As a result of changes to U.S. and foreign government administrative policy, there may be changes to existing trade agreements, greater restrictions on free trade generally, the imposition of or significant increases in tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., particularly those manufactured in Canada, Mexico, Europe, and China, and adverse responses by foreign governments to U.S. trade policies, among other possible changes. China is currently a leading global source of hardware products, including the hardware products that we use. As the implementation of tariffs is ongoing, more tariffs may be added in the future. These tariffs could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition, and if we are unable to pass such price increases through to our customers, it would likely increase our cost of sales and, as a result, decrease our gross margins, operating income and net income. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, discussions remain ongoing in respect of certain trade restrictions and tariffs on imports from Canada, China, Mexico and Europe, as well as retaliatory tariffs enacted in response to such actions. In light of these events, there continues to exist significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. and other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties, and tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the United States. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict our access to suppliers or customers and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of such suppliers and customers or other counterparties we do business with, which in turn would negatively impact us.
Deteriorating macroeconomic conditions, including slower growth or a recession, inflation, changes in the U.S. presidential administration, bank failures, supply chain disruption, increases in interest rates, increases to fuel and other energy costs or vehicle costs, geopolitical events, including escalating tariff and non-tariff trade measures imposed by the U.S., Mexico, China, Canada and other countries, the potential for new or unforeseen conflicts such as the impact of the Russia and Ukraine conflict and Hamas and Israel conflict, changes in the labor market, or decreases in government spending power, could in the future result in a decline in customer spending, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition. A trade war, other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements, changes in U.S. social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment in the territories and countries where we currently do business, and any resulting negative sentiments towards the U.S. as a result of such changes, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
A significant portion of the purchase price related to our strategic acquisitions prior to the XTI Merger was allocated to goodwill and intangible assets that are subject to periodic impairment evaluations. An impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
A significant portion of the purchase price related to our strategic acquisitions prior to the XTI Merger was allocated to goodwill and intangible assets that are subject to periodic impairment evaluations. As of December 31, 2024, our goodwill and the net book value of our intangible assets was approximately $13.96 million in connection with the various acquisitions that we have consummated. A future impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
As required by current accounting standards, we review intangible assets for impairment either annually or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The risk of impairment to goodwill is higher during the early years following an acquisition. This is because the fair values of these assets align very closely with what we paid to acquire the reporting units to which these assets are assigned. As a result, the difference between the carrying value of the reporting unit and its fair value (typically referred to as “headroom”) is smaller at the time of acquisition. Until this headroom grows over time, due to business growth or lower carrying value of the reporting unit, a relatively small decrease in reporting unit fair value can trigger impairment charges. When impairment charges are triggered, they tend to be material due to the size of the assets involved. Our business could be adversely affected, and impairment of goodwill could be triggered, if any of the following were to occur: higher attrition rates than planned as a result of the competitive environment or our inability to provide products and services that are competitive in the marketplace, lower-than-planned adoption rates by customers, higher-than-expected expense levels to provide services to customers, sustained declines in our stock price and related market capitalization and changes in our business model that may impact one or more of these variables. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded an impairment charge to our intangible assets of approximately $2.5 million and zero, respectively.
Our business depends on experienced and skilled personnel, and if we are unable to attract and integrate skilled personnel, it will be more difficult for us to manage our business and complete contracts.
The success of our business and ability to expand our operations depend on our ability to attract, retain, train, educate, and motivate highly skilled employees, including employees who may become part of our organization in connection with our acquisitions. The increase in demand for engineering, software, sales, consulting, technology integration and managed services has further increased the need for employees with specialized skills or significant experience in these areas. Competition for personnel with skill sets specific to our industries is high, and identifying candidates with the appropriate qualifications can be costly and difficult. We may not be able to hire the necessary personnel to implement our business strategy given our anticipated hiring needs, or we may need to provide higher compensation or more training to our personnel than we currently anticipate. Furthermore, the industry turnover rates for these types of employees are high and we may not be successful in retaining, training or motivating our employees. Any inability to attract, retain, train and motivate employees could impair our ability to adequately manage and complete existing projects and to accept new customer engagements. Such inability may also force us to increase our hiring of independent contractors, which may increase our costs and reduce our profitability on customer engagements. In the event we are unable to attract, hire and retain the requisite personnel and subcontractors, we may experience delays in completing contracts in accordance with project schedules and budgets, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results, harm our reputation and cause us to curtail our pursuit of new contracts.
If we were deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), applicable restrictions could make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Under Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the 1940 Act, a company generally will be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the 1940 Act if (1) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities or (2) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Although we have made certain strategic investments in the past, we do not currently believe that we are an “investment company,” as such term is defined in either of those sections of the 1940 Act.
We intend to conduct our operations so that we will not be deemed an investment company. However, if we were to be deemed an investment company, restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act, including limitations on our capital structure and our ability to transact with affiliates, could make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to damages resulting from claims that the Company or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.
We may be subject to claims that the Company or our employees may have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of former employers or competitors. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. We may be subject to unexpected claims of infringement of third party intellectual property rights, either for intellectual property rights of which we are not aware, or for which we believe are invalid or narrower in scope than the accusing party. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management. If we fail in defending such claims, in addition to paying money claims, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel or be enjoined from selling certain products or providing certain services. A loss of key research personnel or their work product could hamper or prevent our ability to commercialize certain products, which could severely harm our business.
We have been subject to government or regulatory investigations or inquiries under national, regional and local laws, as amended from time to time, and may be required to comply with data requests, or requests for information by government authorities and regulators in the United States or other jurisdictions in which we operate and any resulting enforcement action could have a materially adverse effect on us.
As a publicly trading reporting company with operations in the United States and internationally, we interact regularly with regulatory and self-regulatory agencies in the United States or other jurisdictions in which we operate, including the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market. We have been and may in the future be the subject of SEC and other regulatory investigations and may be required to comply with informal or formal orders or other requests for information or documentation from such government authorities and regulators regarding our compliance with national, regional and local laws and regulations, including the rules and regulations under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Such laws and regulations and their interpretation and applications may also change from time to time. Responding to requests for information from regulators in connection with any such investigations or inquiries could have a materially adverse effect on our business through, among other things, significantly increased legal fees and the time and attention required of the Company’s management and employees to be diverted from our normal business operations and growth plans. Moreover, if a regulator were to initiate an enforcement action against us, any such action could further consume our resources, require us to change our business practices and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Adverse judgments or settlements in legal proceedings could materially harm our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
We may be a party to claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, which may include those related to, for example, our securities offerings, contracts, sub-contracts, protection of confidential information or trade secrets, adversary proceedings arising from customer bankruptcies, employment of our workforce and immigration requirements or compliance with any of a wide array of state and federal statutes, rules and regulations that pertain to different aspects of our business.
Additionally, we are and we may be made a party to future claims relating to the XTI Merger. On December 6, 2023, Xeriant, Inc. (“Xeriant”) filed a complaint against Legacy XTI, along with two unnamed companies and five unnamed persons, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On January 31, 2024, Xeriant filed an amended complaint, which added us as a defendant. On February 2, 2024, the Court ordered Xeriant to show cause as to why the amended complaint should not be dismissed without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On February 29, 2024, Xeriant filed a second amended complaint, which removed us and one of the unnamed companies as defendants. The second amended complaint alleges that Legacy XTI, through multiple breaches and fraudulent actions, has caused substantial harm to Xeriant and has prevented it from obtaining compensation owed to it under various agreements entered into between Xeriant and Legacy XTI, including but not limited to a joint venture agreement, a cross-patent license agreement, an operating agreement, and a letter dated May 17, 2022 (the “May 17 letter”) arising from Xeriant’s introducing Legacy XTI to a Nasdaq listed company as a potential acquirer of Legacy XTI. In particular, Xeriant contends that Legacy XTI gained substantial advantages from the intellectual property, expertise, and capital deployed by Xeriant in the design and development of Legacy XTI’s TriFan 600 airplane yet has excluded Xeriant from the transaction involving the TriFan 600 technology in its merger with us, which has resulted in a breach of the May 17 letter, in addition to the other aforementioned agreements. Xeriant, in the second amended complaint, asserts the following causes of action: (1) breach of contract; (2) intentional fraud; (3) fraudulent concealment; (4) quantum meruit; (5) unjust enrichment; (6) unfair competition/deceptive business practices; and (7) misappropriation of confidential information, and seeks damages in excess of $500 million, injunctive relief enjoining us from engaging in any further misconduct, the imposition of a royalty obligation, and such other relief as deemed appropriate by the court. On March 13, 2024, Legacy XTI moved for partial dismissal of the second amended complaint. On January 14, 2025, the Court denied Legacy XTI’s motion to dismiss the complaint. On January 28, 2025, Legacy XTI filed an answer to the second amended complaint. On January 28, 2025, Legacy XTI filed an amended answer and counterclaims against Xeriant. The counterclaims assert that Xeriant (1) breached the joint venture agreement by failing to pay $4,600,000 to fund development of the TriFan 600 technology, and (2) breached its fiduciary duty to XTI by engaging in bad faith, coercion, and self-dealing, including by appropriating material information for its own use and concealing from Legacy XTI the identity of a potential strategic partner. On March 18, 2025, Xeriant moved for dismissal of Legacy XTI’s counterclaims. The case is in its early stages of discovery, and we are unable to estimate the likelihood or magnitude of a potential adverse judgment. Legacy XTI nevertheless denies the allegations of wrongdoing contained in the second amended complaint and is vigorously defending against the lawsuit.
In connection with the litigation matter described in the immediately preceding paragraph, on June 12, 2024, we received a letter from counsel for Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus”), dated April 3, 2024, claiming that, pursuant to the above-referenced May 17 letter by and between Xeriant and Legacy XTI, as a result of the XTI Merger and Legacy XTI’s entry into a promissory note agreement with Legacy Inpixon in March 2023, XTI Aerospace and Legacy XTI may have assumed Xeriant’s obligations under that certain Senior Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $6,050,000 issued by Xeriant to Auctus, including the obligation to repay Auctus all principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereunder, which Auctus claims was $8,435,008.81 as of April 3, 2024. In July 2024, Legacy XTI responded to such letter and indicated that it believes that the May 17 letter is invalid and unenforceable on several bases. It further explained that even if it were valid and enforceable, Legacy XTI does not believe such letter resulted in, or otherwise triggered, the assumption of obligations of Xeriant under the Senior Secured Promissory Note or any other obligation on the part of Legacy XTI. There have been no further developments on this matter. We are unable to make a reasonable estimate of a potential loss, if any, on this matter. To the extent suits or actions are commenced with respect to this matter, we intend to vigorously defend against any and all claims.
On or about August 1, 2024, Chardan Capital Markets LLC (“Chardan”) commenced an arbitration (the “Arbitration”) before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) against XTI Aerospace, Inc. and Legacy XTI. Legacy XTI and Chardan are parties to an engagement letter agreement (the “Agreement”). In the Arbitration, Chardan alleges that XTI Aerospace, Inc. is bound by the Agreement even though it did not sign the Agreement, which XTI Aerospace, Inc. denies. Chardan further alleges that Legacy XTI and XTI Aerospace, Inc. breached the Agreement by not making certain payments to Chardan. Chardan also seeks to recover unspecified amounts relating to an alleged right of first refusal to perform banking services that the Company supposedly did not honor, including with respect to the Company’s ATM with Maxim Group LLC and other public offerings of securities. XTI Aerospace, Inc. and Legacy XTI deny that Chardan performed its duties under the Agreement and otherwise that Chardan is owed any sums under the Agreement. XTI Aerospace, Inc. filed a petition in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”) seeking to stay the Arbitration to the extent that it has been asserted against XTI Aerospace, Inc. On or about January 21, 2025, the Court entered a final judgment that: (a) enjoins Chardan from prosecuting the Arbitration against XTI Aerospace, Inc. and (b) declares that XTI Aerospace, Inc. has no contractual or other duty to arbitrate with Chardan. Legacy XTI remains as a party to the arbitration and intends to defend against the Arbitration vigorously.
Regardless of the merits of any particular claim, responding to such actions could divert time, resources and management’s attention away from our business operations, and we may incur significant expenses in defending these lawsuits or other similar lawsuits. The results of litigation and other legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and adverse judgments or settlements in some of these legal disputes may result in adverse monetary damages, penalties or injunctive relief against us, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Any claims or litigation, even if fully indemnified or insured, could damage our reputation and make it more difficult to compete effectively or to obtain adequate insurance in the future.
Furthermore, while we maintain insurance for certain potential liabilities, such insurance does not cover all types and amounts of potential liabilities and is subject to various exclusions as well as deductibles and caps on amounts of coverage. Even if we believe a claim is covered by insurance, insurers may dispute our entitlement to coverage for a variety of potential reasons, which may affect the timing and, if the insurers prevail, the amount of our available insurance coverage for a particular claim.
We may also be required to initiate expensive litigation or other proceedings to protect our business interests. There is a risk that we will not be successful or otherwise be able to satisfactorily resolve such claims or litigation. Litigation and other legal claims are subject to inherent uncertainties. Those uncertainties include, but are not limited to, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees, unpredictable judicial or jury decisions and the differing laws and judicial proclivities regarding damage awards among the states in which we operate. Unexpected outcomes in such legal proceedings, or changes in management’s evaluation or predictions of the likely outcomes of such proceedings, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Our current financial status may increase our default and litigation risks and may make us more financially vulnerable in the face of threatened litigation.
The loss of key personnel may adversely affect our operations.
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the operation, experience, and continued services of our key personnel. While our key personnel are employed under employment contracts, there is no assurance we will be able to retain their services. The loss of several of our key personnel could have an adverse effect on the Company. Furthermore, we do not maintain “key person” life insurance on the lives of any of our executive officers and their death or incapacity would have a material adverse effect on us. The competition for qualified personnel is intense, and the loss of services of certain key personnel could adversely affect our business. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel we require to develop and market the proposed TriFan 600 airplane and conduct our proposed operations.
Digital threats such as cyber-attacks, data protection breaches, computer viruses or malware on our customers ’ networks, or in cloud-based services provided by or enabled by us, could result in liability for us, damage our reputation or otherwise harm our business.
Despite our implementation of network security measures, the products and services we sell to customers, and our servers, data centers and the cloud-based solutions on which our data, and data of our customers, suppliers and business partners are stored, are vulnerable to cyber-attacks, data protection breaches, computer viruses, malicious acts, and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering or human error. Use of our products and services in our customers’ environments may have the possibility of being breached as a result of acts other than our customers exposing confidential and sensitive information. For example, some parts of our technology, including but not limited to the technology used in our Indoor Intelligence products, may be based on open-source technology, which is subject to the risk that the development team or other third parties may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses or bugs into the core infrastructure elements of such technology. Despite our security controls and measures, any such event could compromise our networks or those of our customers, and the information stored on our networks or those of our customers could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen, which could subject us to liability to our customers, business partners and others, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition and may cause damage to our reputation. Efforts to limit the ability of malicious third parties to disrupt the operations of the Internet or undermine our own security efforts may be costly to implement and meet with resistance, and may not be successful. Breaches of network security in our customers’ networks, or in cloud-based services provided by or enabled by us, regardless of whether the breach is attributable to a vulnerability in our products or services, could result in liability for us, damage our reputation or otherwise harm our business.
Any failures or interruptions in our services or systems could disrupt our business and impair our ability to effectively provide our RTLS services and products to our customers, which could damage our reputation and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
Our success depends in part on our ability to provide reliable remote services, technology integration and managed services to our customers. We are highly dependent on information technology systems, many of which are operated by third parties (e.g., cloud services) and as a result we may have limited ability to ensure their availability and operation, or, in the event of system failures, to control the timing and success of system restorations. We do not have complete redundancy for all of our systems, and we do not maintain real-time off-site backups of all of our data. The operations of our Cloud based applications and analytics are susceptible to damage or interruption from human error, fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks and similar events. We could also experience failures or interruptions of our systems and services, or other problems in connection with our operations, as a result of:
● damage to or failure of our computer software or hardware or our connections;
● errors in the processing of data by our systems;
● computer viruses or software defects;
● physical or electronic break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar events;
● increased capacity demands or changes in systems requirements of our customers; and
● errors by our employees or third-party service providers.
Any interruptions in our systems or services could cause us financial or reputational damage, interrupt or suspend our operations, impair our ability to provide our RTLS products and services to our customers, subject us to legal action and increased regulatory oversight, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, including, among other things, an adverse effect on our ability to bill our customers for work performed on our contracts, collect the amounts that have been billed and produce accurate financial statements in a timely manner. While we maintain disaster recovery plans and insurance with coverage we believe to be adequate, claims may exceed insurance coverage limits, may not be covered by insurance or insurance may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms.
The growth of our RTLS business is dependent on increasing sales to our existing customers and obtaining new customers, which, if unsuccessful, could limit our financial performance.
Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to increase revenues from existing RTLS customers by identifying additional opportunities to sell more of our RTLS products and services and on our ability to obtain new RTLS customers. The rate at which our customers purchase additional products and services, and our ability to attract new customers, depends on a number of factors, including the perceived need for indoor mapping products and services, our ability to offer high quality products and services at competitive prices, meeting customers’ needs and expectations, the strength of our competitors, the capabilities of our sales and marketing departments and general economic conditions. If we are not able to continue to increase sales of our RTLS products and services to existing customers or to obtain new customers in the future, we may not be able to increase our revenues and could suffer a decrease in revenues as well.
The competitiveness of our RTLS business depends significantly on our ability to keep pace with the rapid changes in the RTLS industry. Failure by us to anticipate and meet our customers’ technological needs could adversely affect our competitiveness and growth prospects.
The RTLS industry in which we operate is characterized by rapid technological innovation, changing customer needs, evolving industry standards and frequent introductions of new products, product enhancements, services and distribution methods. Our success depends on our ability to develop expertise with these new products, product enhancements, services and distribution methods and to implement solutions that anticipate and respond to rapid changes in technology, the industry, and customer needs. The introduction of new products, product enhancements and distribution methods could decrease demand for current products or render them obsolete. Sales of products and services can be dependent on demand for specific product categories, and any change in demand for or supply of such products could have a material adverse effect on our net sales if we fail to adapt to such changes in technology and market demand in a timely manner. If we do not successfully innovate and introduce new technology into our anticipated technology solutions or effectively manage the transitions of our technology to new RTLS product offerings, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.
There can be no assurance that consumer or commercial demand for our future products will meet, or even approach, our expectations. In addition, our pricing and marketing strategies may not be successful. Lack of customer demand, a change in marketing strategy and changes to our pricing models could dramatically alter our financial results. Unless we are able to release location based products that meet a significant market demand, we will not be able to improve our financial condition or the results of our future operations.
Our RTLS business currently has a limited number of customers, the importance of which may vary dramatically from year to year, and a loss of one or more of these key customers may adversely affect our operating results.
Our RTLS business currently has a limited number of customers. The loss of a significant amount of business from one of our major RTLS customers would materially and adversely affect our results of operations until such time, if ever, as we are able to replace the lost business. Significant customers or projects in any one period may not continue to be significant customers or projects in other periods. To the extent that we are dependent on any single customer, we are subject to the risks faced by that customer to the extent that such risks impede the customer’s ability to stay in business and make timely payments to us.
If we cannot collect our receivables or if payment is delayed, our business may be adversely affected by our inability to generate cash flow, provide working capital or continue our business operations.
Our RTLS business depends on our ability to successfully obtain payment from our customers of the amounts they owe us for products received from us and any work performed by us. The timely collection of our receivables allows us to generate cash flow, provide working capital and continue our business operations. Our customers may fail to pay or delay the payment of invoices for a number of reasons, including financial difficulties resulting from macroeconomic conditions, lack of an approved budget as a result of administrative delays, or participating in bankruptcy proceedings. An extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account will have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days of our accounts receivable. If we are unable to timely collect our receivables from our customers for any reason, our business and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We may be subject to product liability due to manufacturing or design defects for which product liability insurance may not be sufficient.
We may be a party to product liability claims that arises from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, which may include those related to, for example, the development or marketing of the products, or adverse events known or reported to be associated with, or manufacturing defects in, the products sold by us or through third parties. Product liability claims may be time-consuming, cost-intensive, and may result in awarding of substantial damages to the plaintiff or demands for a product recall. Certain of our contract obligations with vendors, suppliers, or manufacturers require us to provide warranties against such claims. We cannot assure you that protections are sufficient against any product liability claim filed by or against us. In a few countries, strict liability is imposed even if an injury to the end user of a defective product was not caused by an act of the supplier, manufacturer, or seller. A successful claim or claims brought against us in an amount exceeding available insurance coverage or protections under our contractual relationships could subject us to significant liabilities and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.
Defects, errors, or vulnerabilities in our products or services or the failure of such products or services to prevent a security breach, could harm our reputation and adversely affect our results of operations.
Because our location based security products and services are complex, they have contained and may contain design or manufacturing defects or errors that are not detected until after their commercial release and deployment by customers. Defects may cause such products to be vulnerable to advanced persistent threats (“APTs”) or security attacks, cause them to fail to help secure information or temporarily interrupt customers’ networking traffic. Because the techniques used by hackers to access sensitive information change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques and provide a solution in time to protect customers’ data. In addition, defects or errors in our subscription updates or products could result in a failure to effectively update customers’ hardware products and thereby leave customers vulnerable to APTs or security attacks.
Any defects, errors or vulnerabilities in our products could result in:
● expenditure of significant financial and product development resources in efforts to analyze, correct, eliminate, or work-around errors or defects or to address and eliminate vulnerabilities;
● delayed or lost revenue;
● loss of existing or potential customers or partners;
● increased warranty claims compared with historical experience, or increased cost of servicing warranty claims, either of which would adversely affect gross margins; and
● litigation, regulatory inquiries, or investigations that may be costly and harm our reputation.
Our current research and development efforts may not produce successful products or features that result in significant revenue, cost savings or other benefits in the near future. If we do not realize significant revenue from our research and development efforts, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
Developing products and related enhancements in our field is expensive. Investments in research and development may not result in significant design improvements, marketable products or features or may result in products that are more expensive than anticipated. We may not achieve the cost savings or the anticipated performance improvements expected, and we may take longer to generate revenue from products in development, or generate less revenue than expected.
Our future plans include significant investments in research and development and related product opportunities. Our management believes that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to research and development efforts to maintain a competitive position. However, we may not receive significant revenue from these investments in the near future, or these investments may not yield the expected benefits, either of which could adversely affect our business and operating results.
If the general level of advanced attacks declines, or is perceived by current or potential customers to have declined, this could harm our location based security and detection operating segment, and our financial condition, operating results and growth prospects.
Our location based security and detection-operating segment is substantially dependent upon enterprises and governments recognizing that APTs and other security attacks are pervasive and are not effectively prevented by legacy security solutions. High visibility attacks on prominent enterprises and governments have increased market awareness of the problem of APTs and security attacks and help to provide an impetus for enterprises and governments to devote resources to protecting against attacks, such as testing our platform, purchasing it, and broadly deploying it within their organizations. If APTs and other security attacks were to decline, or enterprises or governments perceived that the general level of attacks has declined, our ability to attract new customers and expand our offerings for existing customers could be materially and adversely affected, which would, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
If our location-based security and detection products do not effectively interoperate with our customers’ IT infrastructure, installations could be delayed or cancelled, which would harm our financial condition, operating results and growth prospects.
Our RTLS products must effectively interoperate with our customers’ existing or future IT infrastructure, which often has different specifications, utilizes multiple protocol standards, deploys products from multiple vendors, and contains multiple generations of products that have been added over time. As a result, when problems occur in a company’s infrastructure, it may be difficult to identify the sources of these problems. If we find errors in the existing software or defects in the hardware used in our customers’ infrastructure, we may have to modify our customers’ software or hardware so that our products will interoperate with their infrastructure. In such cases, our products may be unable to provide significant performance improvements for applications deployed in the infrastructure of our customers. These issues could cause longer installation times for our products and could cause order cancellations, either of which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, other customers may require products to comply with certain security or other certifications and standards. If our products are late in achieving or fail to achieve compliance with these certifications and standards, or competitors sooner achieve compliance with these certifications and standards, we may be disqualified from selling our products to such customers, or may otherwise be at a competitive disadvantage, either of which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our business and operations expose us to numerous legal and regulatory requirements and any violation of these requirements could harm our business. Furthermore, our international business exposes us to geo-political and economic factors, legal and regulatory requirements, public health and other risks associated with doing business in foreign countries.
We are subject to numerous federal, state and foreign legal requirements on matters as diverse as data privacy and protection, employment and labor relations, immigration, taxation, anti-corruption, import/export controls, trade restrictions, internal control and disclosure control obligations, securities regulation and anti-competition. Compliance with diverse and changing legal requirements is costly, time-consuming and requires significant resources. Violations of one or more of these diverse legal requirements in the conduct of our business could result in significant fines and other damages, criminal sanctions against us or our officers, prohibitions on doing business and damage to our reputation. Violations of these regulations or contractual obligations related to regulatory compliance in connection with the performance of customer contracts could also result in liability for significant monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity and other reputational damage, restrictions on our ability to compete for certain work and allegations by our customers that we have not performed our contractual obligations.
Furthermore, we provide our RTLS products and services to customers worldwide and our international business exposes us to risks that differ from and potentially may be greater than those associated with our domestic business. Our international business is sensitive to changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers and geo-political uncertainties, which may be driven by changes in threat environments and potentially volatile worldwide economic conditions, various regional and local economic and political factors, risks and uncertainties, as well as U.S. foreign policy.
Our international operations (or those of our business partners) are also subject to local government laws, regulations and procurement policies and practices, which may differ from U.S. government regulations, including regulations relating to import-export control, investments, foreign exchange controls and repatriation of earnings, as well as to varying currency, geo-political and economic risks. Our international contracts may include industrial cooperation agreements requiring specific in-country purchases, manufacturing agreements or financial support obligations, known as offset obligations, and provide for penalties if we fail to meet such requirements. Our international contracts may also be subject to termination at the customer’s convenience or for default based on performance, and may be subject to funding risks. We also are exposed to risks associated with using foreign representatives and consultants for international sales and operations and teaming with international subcontractors, partners and suppliers in connection with international programs. As a result of these factors, we could experience award and funding delays on international programs and could incur losses on such programs, which could negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We and our business partners are also subject to a number of other risks including:
● the absence in some jurisdictions of effective laws to protect our intellectual property rights;
● multiple and possibly overlapping and conflicting tax laws;
● restrictions on movement of cash;
● the burdens of complying with a variety of national and local laws;
● political instability;
● currency fluctuations;
● longer payment cycles;
● restrictions on the import and export of certain technologies;
● price controls or restrictions on exchange of foreign currencies;
● trade barriers;
● natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, flooding, typhoons and volcanic eruptions that disrupt manufacturing or other operations;
● public health issues (for example, an outbreak of a contagious disease such as 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), avian influenza, measles or Ebola);
● disruptions of service from utilities, nuclear power plant accidents; and
● general economic or political factors.
Any of the above risks, should they occur, could result in an increase in the cost of components, production delays, general business interruptions, delays from difficulties in obtaining export licenses for certain technology, tariffs and other barriers and restrictions, longer payment cycles, increased taxes, restrictions on the repatriation of funds and the burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws, any of which could ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our international operations are subject to special U.S. government laws and regulations, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and regulations and procurement policies and practices, including import-export control regulations, which may expose us to liability or impair our ability to compete in international markets.
Our international operations are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. and other business entities for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations and deal with governmental customers in countries known to experience corruption, including certain countries in the Middle East and in the future, the Far East. Our activities in these countries create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees, consultants or contractors that could be in violation of various laws including the FCPA, even though these parties are not always subject to our control. We are also subject to import-export control regulations restricting the use and dissemination of information classified for national security purposes and the export of certain products, services, and technical data, including requirements regarding any applicable licensing of our employees involved in such work.
Difficult conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations, and we do not expect these conditions to improve in the near future.
Our results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally, both in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. Weak economic conditions generally, sustained uncertainty about global economic conditions, or a prolonged or further tightening of credit markets could cause our customers and potential customers to postpone or reduce spending on technology products or services or put downward pressure on prices, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows. Concerns over inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues and the availability of credit in the U.S. have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and the markets going forward. These factors, combined with volatile oil prices and wavering business and consumer confidence, have precipitated an economic slowdown and uncertain global outlook. Domestic and international equity markets have been experiencing heightened volatility and turmoil. These events and the continuing market upheavals may have an adverse effect on our business. In the event of extreme prolonged market events, such as the global economic recovery, we could incur significant losses.
The existence of inflation in certain economies has resulted in, and may continue to result in, rising interest rates and capital costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor, components, manufacturing and shipping, as well as weakening exchange rates and other similar effects. As a result, we have experienced and may continue to experience cost increases. Although we take measures to mitigate the effects of inflation and rising interest rates, if these measures are not effective, our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. Even if such measures are effective, there could be a difference between the timing of when those beneficial actions impact our results or operations and when the cost of inflation is incurred.
Domestic and foreign government regulation and enforcement of data practices and data tracking technologies is expansive, broadly defined and rapidly evolving. Such regulation could result in additional costs and liabilities to us, directly restrict portions of our business or indirectly affect our business by constraining our customers’ use of our technology and services or limiting the growth of our markets.
Federal, state, municipal and/or foreign governments and agencies have adopted and could in the future adopt, modify, apply or enforce laws, policies, and regulations covering user privacy, data security, technologies that are used to collect, store and/or process data, and/or the collection, use, processing, transfer, storage and/or disclosure of data associated with individuals. The categories of data regulated under these laws vary widely, are often broadly defined, and subject to new applications or interpretation by regulators. The uncertainty and inconsistency among these laws, coupled with a lack of guidance as to how these laws will be applied to current and emerging indoor positioning analytics technologies, creates a risk that regulators, lawmakers or other third parties, such as potential plaintiffs, may assert claims, pursue investigations or audits, or engage in civil or criminal enforcement. These actions could limit the market for our services and technologies or impose burdensome requirements on our services and/or customers’ use of our services, thereby rendering our business unprofitable.
In the U.S., these privacy rules and regulations include those promulgated under the authority of the Federal Trade Commission, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) and other state and federal laws relating to privacy and data security. By way of example, the CCPA requires covered businesses to provide new disclosures to California residents, provide them new ways to opt-out of certain disclosures of personal information, and allows for a cause of action for data breaches. It includes a framework that includes potential statutory damages and private rights of action. There is some uncertainty as to how the CCPA, and similar privacy laws emerging in other states, could impact our business as it depends on how such laws will be interpreted. As we expand our operations, compliance with privacy laws may increase our operating costs.
Some features of our services may trigger the data protection requirements of certain foreign jurisdictions, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), and the EU ePrivacy Directive. In addition, our services may be subject to regulation under current or future laws or regulations. For instance, as the EU ePrivacy Directive transitions in its entirety to the ePrivacy Regulation, it will bring an updated set of rules relevant to many aspects of our business. If our treatment of data, privacy practices or data security measures fail to comply with these current or future laws and regulations in any of the jurisdictions in which we collect and/or process information, we may be subject to litigation, regulatory investigations, civil or criminal enforcement, financial penalties, audits or other liabilities in such jurisdictions, or our customers may terminate their relationships with us.
In addition, data protection laws, such as the GDPR, foreign court judgments or regulatory actions could affect our ability to transfer, process and/or receive transnational data that is critical to our operations, including data relating to users, customers, or partners outside the United States. For instance, the GDPR restricts transfers of personal data outside of the European Economic Area, including to the United States, subject to certain requirements. Additionally, certain countries have passed or are considering passing laws requiring local data residency. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, privacy laws, regulations and standards may limit the use and adoption of our services, reduce overall demand for our services, make it more difficult to meet expectations from or commitments to customers, lead to significant fines, penalties or liabilities for noncompliance, impact our reputation, or slow the pace at which we close sales transactions, any of which could harm our business.
Furthermore, the uncertain and shifting regulatory environment and trust climate may cause concerns regarding data privacy and may cause our customers or our customers’ customers to resist providing the data necessary to allow our customers to use our services effectively. Even the perception that the privacy of personal information is not satisfactorily protected or does not meet regulatory requirements could inhibit sales of our products or services and could limit adoption of our cloud-based solutions.
Misuse of our products could harm our reputation and result in litigation or enforcement action or reduced demand for our services.
Our products, particularly our location-based security and detection products, may be misused by customers or third parties that obtain access to such products. For example, location information combined with other information about the same users in the hands of criminals could result in misuse of the data and privacy law violations and result in negative press coverage and negatively affect our reputation. Further, our RTLS customers utilize our services and technologies to track connected devices anonymously and we must rely on our customers to implement and administer notice and choice mechanisms required under applicable laws. If we or our customers fail to abide by these laws, it could result in litigation or regulatory or enforcement action against our customers or against us directly.
Any actual or perceived failure by us to comply with our privacy policy or legal or regulatory requirements in one or multiple jurisdictions could result in proceedings, actions or penalties against us.
Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with federal, state or foreign laws or regulations, industry standards, contractual obligations or other legal obligations, or any actual or suspected security incident, whether or not resulting in unauthorized access to, or acquisition, release or transfer of personal data or other data, may result in governmental enforcement actions and prosecutions, private litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity and could cause our customers to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business. Any inability to adequately address privacy and security concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable laws, regulations, policies, industry standards, contractual obligations or other legal obligations could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales and adversely affect our business.
A regional or global health pandemic, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could severely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
A regional or global health pandemic, depending upon its duration and severity, could have a material adverse effect on our business. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has had numerous effects on the global economy. Governmental authorities around the world implemented measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and these measures, including shutdowns and “shelter-in-place” orders suggested or mandated by governmental authorities or otherwise elected by companies as a preventive measure, adversely affected workforces, customers, consumer sentiment, economies and financial markets, and, along with decreased consumer spending, led to an economic downturn. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we modified our business practices (including recommending that all non-essential personnel work remotely).
The extent to which a regional or global health pandemic, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, would impact our business, operations, financial condition and results of operations is uncertain and hard to predict and will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to control or predict including:
● the impact on our operations, including our continued ability to execute on business continuity plans for the maintenance of our critical internet infrastructure, if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including due to illness, quarantines, social distancing, government actions or other restrictions in connection with a regional or global health pandemic
● any disruption of our supply chain and the impact of such disruptions on our suppliers or our ability to deliver products and services to our customers (for example, as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, our ability to source internal connection cables for certain of our sensors was temporarily delayed, which required us to source these components from other vendors at a higher price that resulted in an increase in our costs to produce our products); and
● any negative impact on the demand for our services and products resulting from the economic disruption caused by a pandemic and responses thereto such as remote and hybrid work styles that can negatively impact our indoor intelligence solutions.
Risks Related to Our Securities
Our failure to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market may result in our common stock being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, which could negatively impact the price of our common stock, liquidity, our ability to access the capital markets and our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares.
Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “XTIA.” The listing standards of Nasdaq provide that a company, in order to qualify for continued listing, must maintain a minimum stock price of $1.00 and satisfy standards relative to minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum market value of publicly held shares and various additional requirements. While our common stock is currently listed on Nasdaq, we can give no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements for Nasdaq. If we fail to maintain compliance with any such continued listing requirement, there can also be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with any such continued listing requirement in the future or that our common stock will not be delisted in the future. If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant negative consequences including:
● limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
● a determination that the common stock is a “penny stock” which would require brokers trading in the common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for shares of common stock;
● a limited amount of analyst coverage, if any; and
● a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
Delisting from Nasdaq could also result in other negative consequences, including the potential loss of confidence by suppliers, customers and employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities.
If our shares of common stock lose their status on Nasdaq, we believe that they would likely be eligible to be quoted on the inter-dealer electronic quotation and trading system operated by OTC Markets Group Inc., commonly referred to as the Pink Open Market and we may also qualify to be traded on their OTCQB market (The Venture Market). These markets are generally not considered to be as efficient as, and not as broad as, Nasdaq. Selling our shares on these markets could be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, and transactions could be delayed. In addition, in the event our shares are delisted, broker-dealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock or even holding our common stock, further limiting the liquidity of our common stock. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our common stock.
Our stock price may be volatile, and your investment may suffer a decline in value as a result of the volatility of our stock.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
● our ability to execute our business plan and complete prospective strategic transactions;
● changes in our industry;
● competitive pricing pressures;
● our ability to obtain working capital financing;
● additions or departures of key personnel;
● limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;
● sales of our common stock;
● operating results that fall below expectations;
● changes in our capital structure;
● costs associated with our acquisitions of companies, assets and technologies;
● regulatory developments;
● economic and other external factors;
● period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results;
● our inability to develop or acquire new or needed technologies or news relating to such technologies;
● the public’s response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including filings with the SEC;
● changes in financial estimates or ratings by any securities analysts who follow our common stock, our failure to meet these estimates or failure of those analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our common stock;
● the development and sustainability of an active trading market for our common stock; and
● any future sales of our common stock by our officers, directors and significant stockholders.
In addition, the stock markets in general, and the markets for technology stocks in particular, have experienced significant volatility that has often been unrelated to the financial condition or results of operations of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock and, consequently, adversely affect the price at which you could sell the shares that you purchase in this offering. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market or significant price declines, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144, or shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and, in anticipation of which, the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.
In general, a non-affiliated person who has held restricted shares for a period of six months, under Rule 144, may sell into the market our common stock all of their shares, subject to the Company being current in its periodic reports filed with the SEC. As of the date of this filing, a significant portion of our outstanding shares of common stock outstanding are free trading.
Sales of our common stock or other securities, or the perception that future sales may occur, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, even if our business is doing well.
Sales of our common stock or other securities, or the perception that future sales may occur, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, even if our business is doing well. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional shares. Historically, we have issued our securities to raise additional capital and used our shares of common stock to satisfy our outstanding debt obligations, and, in the future, we expect to continue to issue our securities to raise additional capital or satisfy outstanding debt obligations. The number of new shares of our common stock issued in connection with raising additional capital or satisfying our outstanding debt obligations could constitute a material portion of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock. The issuance or sale of such securities could depress the market price of our common stock.
There may be future sales or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Our articles of incorporation allows us to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and to issue and designate the rights of, without stockholder approval, up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. To raise additional capital, we may in the future sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that are lower than the prices paid by existing stockholders, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders, which could result in substantial dilution to the interests of existing stockholders. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of common stock or securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive common stock or the perception that such sales could occur.
In addition, to the extent that outstanding stock options or warrants have been or may be exercised or preferred stock converted or other shares issued, stockholders may experience further dilution.
We may issue debt and equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, any of which may be senior to our common stock as to distributions and in liquidation, which could negatively affect the value of our common stock.
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by entering into debt or debt-like financing that is unsecured or secured by up to all of our assets, or by issuing additional debt or equity securities, which could include issuances of secured or unsecured commercial paper, medium-term notes, senior notes, subordinated notes, guarantees, preferred stock, hybrid securities, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities. In the event of our liquidation, our lenders and holders of our debt and preferred securities would receive distributions of our available assets before distributions to the holders of our common stock. Because our decision to incur debt and issue securities in future offerings may be influenced by market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings or debt financings. Further, market conditions could require us to accept less favorable terms for the issuance of our securities in the future.
If our common stock is delisted, market liquidity for our common stock could be severely affected and our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares of our common stock could be limited. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq would negatively affect the value of our common stock. A delisting of our common stock could also adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for our operations and could result in the loss of confidence in our company.
If our common stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not retain a listing on Nasdaq, and if the price of our common stock is less than $5.00, our common stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.
We do not intend to pay cash dividends to our stockholders, so it is unlikely that stockholders will receive any return on their investment in our Company prior to selling our stock.
We have never paid any dividends to our common stockholders as a public company. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth and, therefore, do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. If we determine that we will pay cash dividends to the holders of our common stock, we cannot assure that such cash dividends will be paid on a timely basis. The success of your investment in our Company will likely depend entirely upon any future appreciation. As a result, you will not receive any return on your investment prior to selling your shares in our Company and, for the other reasons discussed in this “Risk Factors” section, you may not receive any return on your investment even when you sell your shares in our Company.
Some provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may deter takeover attempts, which may inhibit a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and limit the opportunity of our stockholders to sell their shares at a favorable price.
Our bylaws divide our board of directors into three classes, with members of each class serving staggered three-year terms. The classified board provision could increase the likelihood that, in the event an outside party acquired a controlling block of our stock, incumbent directors nevertheless would retain their positions for a substantial period, which may have the effect of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change in control. In addition, under our articles of incorporation, our Board may issue additional shares of common stock or preferred stock. Our Board has the ability to authorize “blank check” preferred stock without future shareholder approval. This makes it possible for our Board to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, including a transaction in which our stockholders would receive a premium over the market price for their shares and/or any other transaction that might otherwise be deemed to be in their best interests, and thereby protects the continuity of our management and limits an investor’s opportunity to profit by their investment in the Company. Specifically, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, shares could be issued by our Board without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover by:
● diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group,
● putting a substantial voting bloc in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the incumbent Board, or
● effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover.
These provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management.
Nevada Anti-Takeover Law may discourage acquirers and eliminate a potentially beneficial sale for our stockholders.
We are subject to the provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes, known as the “business combination” statute. This statute prevents many Nevada corporations from engaging in a business combination with any interested stockholder, under specified circumstances. For these purposes, a business combination includes a merger or sale of more than 5% of our assets, and an interested stockholder includes a stockholder who owns 10% or more of our outstanding voting stock, as well as affiliates and associates of these persons that, within two years prior to the combination, beneficially owned such percentage of the voting power. Under these provisions, this type of business combination is prohibited for up to four years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder unless the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder attained that status. Where the person becoming an interested stockholder was not approved in advance by the board of directors, the Nevada business combination statute imposes a basic moratorium of two years on business combinations unless they are approved by the board of directors and stockholders owning at least 60% of the outstanding voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder and its affiliates and associates. After the two-year period, but before four years, combinations remain prohibited but may also be permitted if the interested stockholder satisfies certain requirements with respect to the aggregate consideration to be received by holders of outstanding shares in the combination.
We are also subject to the “acquisition of controlling interest” provisions of Sections 78.378 through 78.3793, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes, also known as the “control share” statute, which apply to “issuing corporations” that are Nevada corporations doing business, directly or through an affiliate, in Nevada, and having at least 200 stockholders of record, including at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on the stock ledger of the corporation. Under that statute, any person who acquires a controlling interest in a corporation may not exercise voting rights of any control shares unless such voting rights are conferred by a majority vote of the disinterested stockholders of the issuing corporation at a special meeting of such stockholders held upon the request and at the expense of the acquiring person. The statute applies to acquisition of a “controlling interest” in ownership of outstanding voting shares of an issuing corporation sufficient to enable the acquiring person, individually or in association with others, directly or indirectly, to exercise (i) one fifth or more but less than one third, (ii) one third or more but less than a majority or (iii) a majority or more of the voting power of the issuing corporation in the election of directors, and voting rights must be conferred by a majority of the disinterested stockholders as each threshold is reached and/or exceeded. In the event that the control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person acquires control shares with a majority or more of all the voting power, any stockholder, other than the acquiring person, who does not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights for the control shares is entitled to demand payment for the fair value of such person’s shares, and the corporation must comply with the demand. The Nevada control share statute does not apply to any acquisition of a controlling interest in an issuing corporation if the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation in effect on the 10th day following the acquisition of a controlling interest by the acquiring person provide that the provisions of those sections do not apply to the corporation or to an acquisition of a controlling interest specifically by types of existing or future stockholders, whether or not identified. Therefore, the board of directors of a Nevada corporation usually may unilaterally avoid the imposition of burdens imposed by the control share statute by amending the bylaws of the corporation in connection with a transaction. For example, our bylaws provide that, effective as of March 12, 2024 (the closing date of the XTI Merger) (the “Closing Date”), the provisions of NRS 78.378 through 78.3793, inclusive, are not applicable to the XTI Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, the acquisition of shares, or of rights to acquire shares, of the Company by the stockholders, or holders of rights to acquire stock, of Legacy XTI as of the Closing Date. A Nevada corporation may impose stricter requirements if it so desires.
These statutes could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us.
The limitation of liability, or our indemnification, of our officers and directors may cause us to use corporate resources in a manner that conflicts with the interests of our stockholders.
Nevada law eliminates the personal liability of our directors and officers for damages as a result of an act or failure to act in that capacity unless a statutory presumption that such person acted in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the corporation has been rebutted. In addition, it must be proven both that the act or failure to act constituted a breach of a fiduciary duty as a director or officer and that such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. This limitation may not affect the availability of equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our Articles of Incorporation require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Nevada law.
Nevada law generally permits indemnification of our directors, officers and others if the person either (i) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the Company’s best interests, and, if the action is not by or in the right of the corporation and is with respect to any criminal proceeding, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful, or (ii) is not liable under the Nevada statutory provision eliminating the liability of certain persons as described in the preceding paragraph.
These persons may be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, penalties, including excise taxes, and amounts paid in settlement and costs, actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding. If the person is adjudged by a court to be liable to the corporation, no indemnification will be made unless that or another court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the above provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
The obligations associated with being a public company require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from our business operations.
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements, and other information. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are required to certify that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. As a result, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. Furthermore, the need to establish the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company may divert management’s attention from implementing our growth strategy, which could prevent us from improving our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have made, and will continue to make, if necessary, changes to our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and accounting systems to meet our reporting obligations as a public company. However, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as a public company. In addition, we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur in order to comply with these requirements. We anticipate that these costs could materially increase our selling, general and administrative expenses.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the implementation of the necessary procedures and practices related to internal control over financial reporting, we may identify deficiencies. Additionally, in the event we are no longer a smaller reporting company, as defined under the Exchange Act, and we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, then we may not be able to obtain the independent registered public accountants’ certifications required by that act, which may preclude us from keeping our filings with the SEC current, and interfere with the ability of investors to trade our securities and our shares to continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. With each prospective acquisition we may make we will conduct whatever due diligence is necessary or prudent to assure us that the acquisition target can comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Notwithstanding our diligence, certain internal controls deficiencies may not be detected. As a result, any internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and access to capital. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical undiscovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement.
If we are unable to maintain effective internal controls, we may not have adequate, accurate or timely financial information, and we may be unable to meet our reporting obligations as a public company, including the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results in future periods, or report them within the timeframes required by the requirements of the SEC, Nasdaq or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, when and as applicable, could also potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Any failure to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, or any difficulties we encounter in their implementation, could result in identification of additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Furthermore, if we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and results of operations could be harmed and investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information.
Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, these rules and regulations increase our compliance costs and may make it more difficult and expensive for us to maintain our director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board or as executive officers, and to maintain insurance at reasonable rates, or at all.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock relies in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control these analysts. The price of our common stock could decline if one or more equity research analysts downgrade our common stock or if they issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business.
We may be or may become the target of securities litigation, which is costly and time-consuming to defend.
Following periods of market volatility in the price of a company’s securities or the reporting of unfavorable news, security holders may institute class action litigation. If the market value of our securities experience adverse fluctuations and we become involved in this type of litigation, regardless of the outcome, we could incur substantial legal costs and our management’s attention could be diverted from the operation of our business, causing our business to suffer.

ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Except as disclosed below, there are no material pending legal proceedings as defined by Item 103 of Regulation S-K, to which we are a party or of which any of our property is the subject, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business.

On December 6, 2023, Xeriant, Inc. (“Xeriant”) filed a complaint against Legacy XTI, along with two unnamed companies and five unnamed persons, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On January 31, 2024, Xeriant filed an amended complaint, which added us as a defendant. On February 2, 2024, the Court ordered Xeriant to show cause as to why the amended complaint should not be dismissed without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On February 29, 2024, Xeriant filed a second amended complaint, which removed us and one of the unnamed companies as defendants. The second amended complaint alleges that Legacy XTI, through multiple breaches and fraudulent actions, has caused substantial harm to Xeriant and has prevented it from obtaining compensation owed to it under various agreements entered into between Xeriant and Legacy XTI, including but not limited to a joint venture agreement, a cross-patent license agreement, an operating agreement, and a letter agreement. In particular, Xeriant contends that Legacy XTI gained substantial advantages from the intellectual property, expertise, and capital deployed by Xeriant in the design and development of Legacy XTI’s TriFan 600 airplane yet has excluded Xeriant from the transaction involving the TriFan 600 technology in its merger with us, which has resulted in a breach of the Letter Agreement, in addition to the other aforementioned agreements. Xeriant, in the second amended complaint, asserts the following causes of action: (1) breach of contract; (2) intentional fraud; (3) fraudulent concealment; (4) quantum meruit; (5) unjust enrichment; (6) unfair competition/deceptive business practices; and (7) misappropriation of confidential information, and seeks damages in excess of $500 million, injunctive relief enjoining us from engaging in any further misconduct, the imposition of a royalty obligation, and such other relief as deemed appropriate by the court. On March 13, 2024, Legacy XTI moved for partial dismissal of the second amended complaint. On January 14, 2025, the Court denied Legacy XTI’s motion to dismiss the complaint. On January 28, 2025, Legacy XTI filed an answer to the second amended complaint. On January 28, 2025, Legacy XTI filed an amended answer and counterclaims against Xeriant. The counterclaims assert that Xeriant (1) breached the joint venture agreement by failing to pay $4,600,000 to fund development of the TriFan 600 technology, and (2) breached its fiduciary duty to XTI by engaging in bad faith, coercion, and self-dealing, including by appropriating material information for its own use and concealing from Legacy XTI the identity of a potential strategic partner. On March 18, 2025, Xeriant moved for dismissal of Legacy XTI’s counterclaims. The case is in its early stages of discovery, and we are unable to estimate the likelihood or magnitude of a potential adverse judgment. Legacy XTI nevertheless denies the allegations of wrongdoing contained in the second amended complaint and is vigorously defending against the lawsuit.
On or about August 1, 2024, Chardan Capital Markets LLC (“Chardan”) commenced an arbitration (the “Arbitration”) before FINRA against the Company and its subsidiary, XTI Aircraft Company (“Aircraft”). Aircraft and Chardan are parties to an engagement letter agreement (the “Agreement”). In the Arbitration, Chardan alleges that the Company is bound by the Agreement even though it did not sign the Agreement, which the Company denies. Chardan further alleges that Aircraft and the Company breached the Agreement by not making certain payments to Chardan. Chardan also seeks to recover unspecified amounts relating to an alleged right of first refusal to perform banking services in connection with certain offerings of its securities that the Company supposedly did not honor. The Company filed a petition in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking to stay the Arbitration to the extent that it has been asserted against the Company. On or about January 21, 2025, the Court entered a final judgement that: (a) enjoins Chardan from prosecuting the arbitration against the Company and (b) declares that the Company has no contractual or other duty to arbitrate with Chardan. The Aircraft subsidiary remains as a party to the arbitration and intends to defend against the arbitration vigorously.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis here and throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”
Overview of Our Business
The Company is primarily an aircraft development company. The Company also provides real-time location systems (“RTLS”) for the industrial sector, which was Legacy Inpixon’s focus prior to the closing of the XTI Merger. Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, the Company is developing a vertical takeoff and landing (“VTOL”) airplane that is designed to take off and land like a helicopter and cruise like a fixed-wing business airplane. We are primarily engaged in developing the aerodynamic performance and top-level engineering design of the TriFan 600, building and testing a two-thirds scale unmanned version of the TriFan 600, and seeking funds from investors to enable the Company to advance the detailed design and certification of the TriFan 600, and to eventually engage in commercial production and sale of the TriFan 600.
Our RTLS solutions leverage cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, AI, and big data analytics to provide real-time tracking and monitoring of assets, machines, and people within industrial environments. With our RTLS solutions, businesses can achieve improved operational efficiency, enhanced safety and reduced costs. By having real-time visibility into operations, industrial organizations can make informed, data-driven decisions, minimize downtime, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
We experienced a net loss from operations of approximately $37.0 million and $7.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We cannot assure that we will ever earn revenues sufficient to support our operations, or that we will ever be profitable. In order to continue our operations, we have supplemented the revenues we earned with proceeds from the sale of our equity and proceeds from loans.
Recent Events
March 2025 Underwritten Offering and Debt Repayment
On March 28, 2025, we entered into an underwriting agreement with ThinkEquity LLC (“ThinkEquity”), as the representative of the underwriters named therein, relating to a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “March Offering”) of 765,200 shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,176,000 shares of common stock, and common warrants (the “Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,941,200 shares of common stock. The combined public offering price for each share of common stock, together with one Common Warrant, was $1.36. The combined public offering price for each Pre-funded Warrant, together with one Common Warrant, was $1.359. Each share of common stock, or a Pre-funded Warrant in lieu thereof, was sold together with one Common Warrant. The March Offering was made pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-3 (File No 333-279901), filed with the SEC on May 31, 2024, as amended on June 14, 2024 and declared effective on June 18, 2024 (the “Current Shelf Registration Statement”), the base prospectus included therein, a preliminary prospectus supplement dated March 27, 2025 and a final prospectus supplement dated March 28, 2025.
The March Offering closed on March 31, 2025. We received net proceeds of approximately $3.3 million from the March Offering after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other expenses payable by us. We used approximately $2.7 million of the net proceeds from the March Offering to repay in full all amounts outstanding, including a 115% prepayment penalty, in respect of two secured promissory notes issued by the Company to Streeterville Capital, LLC on May 1, 2024 and May 24, 2024.
The Pre-funded Warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance, have an exercise price of $0.001 per share and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in full. The Common Warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance, have an exercise price of $1.36 per share, and expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. As a result of our failure to timely file a Current Report on Form 8-K, upon the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we became ineligible to file new short form registration statements on Form S-3 or to use the Current Shelf Registration Statement. Therefore, we agreed to file a subsequent registration statement covering the issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants and the Common Warrants within the timeframes set forth in such warrants. As of April 11, 2025, 1,126,000 Pre-funded Warrants remained outstanding and unexercised.
As part of its compensation for serving as representative in connection with the March Offering, we issued ThinkEquity and its designees Representative Warrants to purchase up to 147,060 shares of common stock. The Representative Warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance, have an exercise price of $1.70 per share and expire on the five-year anniversary of the commencement of sales of the securities issued in the March Offering.
January 2025 Registered Direct Offering
On January 7, 2025, we entered into a placement agency agreement with ThinkEquity, as placement agent, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell directly to various investors, in a best efforts public offering (the “January Offering”), an aggregate of 1,454,546 shares of common stock at an offering price of $13.75 per share. The January Offering closed on January 10, 2025, following the effectiveness of the 1-for-250 reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock on the same date, which was a condition to the closing of the January Offering. We received net proceeds of approximately $18.3 million from the January Offering. The January Offering was made pursuant to the Current Shelf Registration Statement, the base prospectus included therein, and a prospectus supplement dated January 7, 2025. As part of its compensation for acting as placement agent for the January Offering, we issued ThinkEquity LLC and its designees Placement Agent Warrants to purchase 72,727 shares of common stock, which were immediately exercisable upon issuance, have an exercise price of $17.1875 per share and expire on the five-year anniversary of the commencement of sales of the securities issued in the January Offering.
Settlement Agreement
On March 27, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), XTI Aerospace, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a settlement agreement with 3AM Investments LLC (an entity controlled by Nadir Ali (“Ali”), the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and a former director of the Company) (“3AM”), Grafiti Group LLC (“Grafiti Group”) and Ali (the “Settlement Agreement”). The terms of the Settlement Agreement include:
Preferred Stock Redemption. The Company and 3AM entered into that certain securities purchase agreement dated as of March 12, 2024 (the “Series 9 Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which 3AM acquired 1,500 shares of the Company’s Series 9 Preferred Stock, of which 1,164.12 shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding as of March 27, 2025 (the “Outstanding Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Company delivered the aggregate amount of $1,251,651.26 (the “Series 9 Redemption Amount”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Ali, for the redemption of the Outstanding Preferred Stock. Following Ali’s receipt of the Series 9 Redemption Amount, Ali no longer held any shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock. As of the date of this report, there are no shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
Termination of Ali Consulting Agreement.

Compliance with Nasdaq Continued Listing Requirements
On February 11, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and accordingly, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel has determined to continue the listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 3 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 which are included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no changes to estimates during the periods presented in the filing. Historically changes in management estimates have not been material.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control is transferred of the promised products or services to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. The Company derives revenue from software as a service, design and implementation services for its Indoor Intelligence systems, and professional services for work performed in conjunction with its systems.
Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple distinct products and services. Our licenses are sold as perpetual or term licenses and the arrangements typically contain various combinations of maintenance and professional services, which are accounted for as separate performance obligations. In determining how revenue should be recognized, a five-step process is used, which requires judgment and estimates within the revenue recognition process. The most critical judgements required in applying Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 Revenue Recognition from Customers, and our revenue recognition policy relate to the determination of distinct performance obligations.
● We receive fixed consideration for sales of hardware and software products. Revenue is recognized at point in time when the customer has title to the product and risks and rewards of ownership have transferred.
● Revenue related to software as a service contract is recognized over time using the output method (days of software provided) because we are providing continuous access to its service.
● Design and implementation revenue is accounted for using the percentage of completion method. As soon as the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Accounting for these contracts involves the use of estimates to determine total contract costs to be incurred.
● Professional services revenue under fixed fee contracts is recognized over time using the input method (direct labor hours) to recognize revenue over the term of the contract. We have elected the practical expedient to recognize revenue for the right to invoice because our right to consideration corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance completed to date.
● We recognize revenue related to Maintenance Services evenly over time using the output method (days of software provided) because we provide continuous service, and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by our performance as the services are performed.
We also consider whether an arrangement has any discounts, material rights, or specified future upgrades that may represent additional performance obligations. We offer discounts in the form of prompt payment discounts and rebates for a decrease in service level percentages. We have determined that the most likely amount method is most useful for contracts that provides these discounts and rebates as the contracts have two potential outcomes and a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized is not expected to occur. Discounts have not historically been significant, but we continue to monitor and evaluate these estimates based on historical experience, anticipated performance, and our best judgment. Renewals or extensions of licenses are evaluated as distinct licenses (i.e., a distinct good or service), and revenue attributed to the distinct good or service cannot be recognized until (1) the entity provides the distinct license (or makes the license available) to the customer and (2) the customer is able to use and benefit from the distinct license. If any of these judgments were to change it could cause a material increase or decrease in the amount of revenue we report in a particular period.
Valuation of Long-lived and Intangible Assets and Goodwill
We periodically review long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” Goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization are reviewed annually for impairment in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” or more often if there are indications of possible impairment.
The analysis to determine whether or not an asset is impaired requires significant judgments that are dependent on internal forecasts, including estimated future cash flows, estimates of long-term growth rates for our business, the expected life over which cash flows will be realized and assumed royalty and discount rates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and any impairment charge. While the fair value of these assets exceeds their carrying value based on our current estimates and assumptions, materially different estimates and assumptions in the future in response to changing economic conditions, changes in our business or for other reasons could result in the recognition of impairment losses.
For assets to be held and used, including acquired intangible assets subject to amortization, we initiate our review whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the expected future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. Any impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Significant management judgment is required in this process.
For intangible assets not subject to amortization such as goodwill, we test for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. In testing goodwill for impairment, we compare the fair value with the carrying value. The determination of fair value is based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using inputs and assumptions such as revenue growth rates, other projected expenses, and discount rates. If we were to experience a decrease in forecasted future revenues attributable to the intangible assets, this could indicate a potential impairment. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, the goodwill is considered impaired, and an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of goodwill.
We will perform our annual goodwill impairment test required by ASC 350 as of October 1st of each year. In testing goodwill for impairment, we analyze qualitative factors as stated within ASC 350 to determine if the fair value of our single reporting unit may be less than the carrying value of the reporting unit. We have one reporting unit that carries goodwill (Industrial IoT). If the fair value of the reporting unit, based on qualitative factors, may be less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, we then perform the goodwill impairment test required under ASC 350 by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with the carrying value of the reporting unit and, if the fair value is less than the carrying value, the amount that the carrying value exceeds fair value represents the amount of goodwill impairment. Accordingly, we would recognize an impairment loss in the amount of such excess.
In connection with the XTI Merger, we recorded approximately $4.8 million in intangible assets which was allocated to various asset groups under our Industrial IoT reporting unit. In connection with the XTI Merger, we recorded $12.4 million in goodwill which was allocated to our Industrial IoT reporting unit. Since the closing date of the XTI Merger on March 12, 2024, the price of our common stock has declined significantly and may continue to fluctuate in future periods. A sustained decrease in the price of our common stock is one of the qualitative factors to be considered as part of an impairment test when evaluating whether events or changes in circumstances may indicate that it is more likely than not that a potential goodwill impairment exists. We will continue monitoring the analysis of the qualitative and quantitative factors used as a basis for the goodwill impairment test during fiscal year 2024 and at the Company’s October 1st annual testing date. As of December 31, 2024, management evaluated potential triggers and completed a qualitative assessment and determined in the aggregate, it is more likely than not, that the fair value of the Goodwill is less than its carrying value. Management moved to a quantitative assessment and noted that based on that assessment, the fair value of the Industrial IoT reporting unit is greater than the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company notes that the fair value exceeded the carrying value by 22% as of December 31, 2024. Therefore, no goodwill impairment was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Deferred Income Taxes
In accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), management routinely evaluates the likelihood of the realization of its income tax benefits and the recognition of its deferred tax assets. In evaluating the need for any valuation allowance, management will assess whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset may not be realized on a jurisdictional basis. Ultimately, the realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or tax credits and tax loss carry-forwards can be utilized. In performing its analyses, management considers both positive and negative evidence including historical financial performance, previous earnings patterns, future earnings forecasts, tax planning strategies, economic and business trends and the potential realization of net operating loss carry-forwards within a reasonable timeframe. To this end, management considered (i) that we have had historical losses in the prior years and cannot anticipate generating a sufficient level of future profits in order to realize the benefits of our deferred tax asset; (ii) tax planning strategies; and (iii) the adequacy of future income as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, based upon certain economic conditions and historical losses through December 31, 2024. After consideration of these factors, management deemed it appropriate to establish a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets for XTI Aerospace, Inc., XTI Aircraft Company, Nanotron GmbH, Intranav GmbH, and Inpixon Holding (UK) Limited.
A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax filings that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The guidance also discusses the classification of related interest and penalties on income taxes. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value is recorded as goodwill. Any changes in the estimated fair values of the net assets recorded for acquisitions prior to the finalization of more detailed analysis, but not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. Any subsequent changes to any purchase price allocations that are material to our consolidated financial results will be adjusted. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and in-process research and development costs are recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and assessed for impairment thereafter until completion, at which point the asset is amortized over its expected useful life. Separately recognized transactions associated with business combinations are generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date. The application of business combination and impairment accounting requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
Upon acquisition, the accounts and results of operations are consolidated as of and subsequent to the acquisition date and are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from the acquisition date.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Commercial Aviation
We are still working to design, develop and certify the TriFan 600 airplane and thus have not generated revenue from this segment. We do not expect to begin generating significant revenues until we are able to complete the design, development, certification, and manufacturing of the airplane.
Industrial IoT
Our RTLS products are primarily sold on a license and SaaS mode, which we call “location as a service” or “LaaS.” In our licensing model, we also typically charge an annual maintenance fee. The LaaS model is typically for a 3-5 year contract and includes a license to use, maintenance and hardware upgrades. The LaaS model generates a recurring revenue stream.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development activities represent a significant part of our business. Our research and development efforts focus on the design and development of (i) our indoor intelligence products, and (ii) our TriFan 600 airplane, including certain of the systems that will be used in it. As part of our aircraft development activities, we continue to work closely with the FAA towards our goal of achieving certification of our TriFan 600 airplane on an efficient timeline.
Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the research and development of the TriFan 600 airplane. These expenses include:
● employee-related expenses, including salaries and benefits for personnel engaged in research and development functions;
● expenses incurred under agreements with third parties such as consultants and contractors; and
● software and technology-related expenses to support computer-aided design of the aircraft, flight simulations, and other technology needs of our engineers.
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly as we increase staffing to support aircraft engineering and software development, build aircraft prototypes and continue to explore and develop technologies.
We cannot determine with certainty the timing, duration or the costs necessary to complete the design, development, certification, and manufacturing of our TriFan 600 airplane due to the inherently unpredictable nature of our research and development activities. Development timelines, the probability of success, and development costs may differ materially from expectations.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing costs include activities such as aircraft reservation procurement, public relations and business opportunity advancement. These functions mainly generate expenses relating to travel, trade show fees and costs, salaries and benefits. Sales and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive, finance, corporate and business development, and administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include legal fees relating to patent and corporate matters, including non-capitalizable transaction costs; professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax and administrative consulting services; insurance costs, facility related expenses including maintenance and allocated expenses for rent and other operating costs.
We anticipate that general and administrative expenses will increase substantially in the future as we increase our headcount to support continued research and development and commercialization of the TriFan 600.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense, net consists primarily of (i) interest relating to convertible and promissory notes payable, (ii) amortization of debt discounts relating to warrants and stock options issued in conjunction with convertible notes, and (iii) interest income on notes receivable.
Inducement loss on debt conversions includes primarily the inducement charges incurred by Legacy XTI when it entered into voluntary note conversion letter agreements with several note holders during the first quarter of 2024. Per the letter agreements, principal and accrued interest under the notes was converted at a reduced conversion price into shares of Legacy XTI common stock immediately prior to the XTI Merger closing time, which converted into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the closing of the XTI Merger. The Company accounted for these conversions as an inducement and, as such, recognized a loss related to the fair value of the additional shares issued compared to the original terms of the convertible notes.
Change in fair value of convertible notes payable represent the remeasurement of certain Legacy XTI convertible notes to fair value. These notes were converted to equity prior to the closing of XTI Merger.
Change in fair value of warrant liability represents the remeasurement of certain Legacy XTI and Legacy Inpixon outstanding warrants to fair value. These outstanding warrants were exchanged for common shares of the Company during the second quarter of 2024.
Other income (expense), net consists of miscellaneous income and expense items.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2024 compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2023
The Company determined the previously disclosed XTI Merger should be accounted for as a reverse acquisition with Legacy XTI being considered the accounting acquirer. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements included in this report represent a continuation of the financial statements of Legacy XTI and the results of operations of the accounting acquired entity, Legacy Inpixon, are included in the consolidated financial statements as of the Closing Date and through the December 31, 2024 reporting date.
The following table sets forth selected consolidated financial data and the percentage of period-over-period change:
For the Years Ended
(in thousands, except percentages) Amount Amount $ Change % Change

** Comparisons between positive and negative numbers and with a zero are not meaningful.
Revenues
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $3.2 million compared to $0.0 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The revenue amount for the year ended December 31, 2024 represents the results of the revenue-generating Industrial IoT segment following the XTI Merger closing date of March 12, 2024 through the December 31, 2024 reporting date, whereas the Company was pre-revenue in 2023. We expect revenue to increase to approximately $5 million for the fiscal year 2025 driven by the revenue-generating Industrial IoT segment.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $1.3 million compared to $0.0 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The cost of revenues amount for the year ended December 31, 2024 represents the results of the revenue-generating Industrial IoT segment following the XTI Merger closing date of March 12, 2024 through the December 31, 2024 reporting date, whereas the Company was pre-revenue in 2023.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1.9 million compared to $0.0 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The gross profit amount for year ended December 31, 2024 represents the results of the revenue-generating Industrial IoT segment following the XTI Merger closing date of March 12, 2024 through the December 31, 2024 reporting date, whereas the Company was pre-revenue in 2023. The Company’s gross margin percentage for the year ended December 31, 2024 was approximately 59%, a lower percentage than Legacy Inpixon reported in previous fiscal years as the Company’s inventory value was increased to fair value in March 2024 as part of the purchase price allocation accounting relating to the XTI Merger, resulting in lower margins being recognized on subsequent hardware sales during 2024.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $38.9 million and $7.6 million for the comparable period ended December 31, 2023. This increase of approximately $31.3 million was primarily attributable to (i) the inclusion of $9.0 million of Industrial IoT segment’s operating expenses from the XTI Merger closing date through the December 31, 2024 reporting date, which included a $2.5 million non-cash impairment of intangible assets, (ii) the recognition of $6.3 million of nonrecurring transaction bonus expense during the second quarter of 2024 as the bonuses became payable upon the earlier of the closing of qualifying financings or June 30, 2024, (iii) an increase in nonrecurring merger-related transaction costs of $4.6 million, (iv) an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense of approximately $2.5 million, and (v) an aggregate increase of approximately $8.9 million due to increases in consulting compensation mainly attributable to consulting arrangements entered into with prior executives of Legacy Inpixon on March 12, 2024, legal and accounting fees relating to capital raising activities during 2024, and public company-related professional fees as the 2023 historical results reflect the operations of a private company, Legacy XTI.
The $2.5 million non-cash impairment of intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2024 related to the Industrial IoT segment’s Aware assets and its Nanotron business. This impairment was driven by the Company’s strategic decision during Q4 2024 to shift away from the hardware (Nanotron subsidiary) and Aware business lines and to more of a LaaS business model (Intranav subsidiary).
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2024 was a gain of $1.4 million compared to a loss of $17.5 million for the comparable period ended December 31, 2023. The gain of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to the Company recognizing a gain of approximately $12.9 million relating to the remeasurement of convertible notes payable at fair value and interest income of $0.4 million, which was partially offset by (i) interest expense of approximately $1.1 million, (ii) an increase in the fair value of warrant liability of approximately $0.3 million, (iii) inducement losses on debt conversions of approximately $6.7 million, (iv) loss on conversion of the Damon note receivable to equity investment of approximately $2.6 million, and (v) a decrease in fair value of the Damon equity investment and related warrants of approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, when those assets were re-measured as of the December 31, 2024 reporting date.
The loss of $17.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 was due primarily to the modifications of certain Legacy XTI convertible notes. On November 1, 2023, Legacy XTI and certain convertible noteholders agreed to amend the convertible notes to extend the maturity date and to revise the conversion terms. The amendment to the convertible notes was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and reissuance of the convertible notes in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments, due to the addition of a substantive conversion feature. As Legacy XTI elected to account for these convertible notes using the fair value option, Legacy XTI measured the convertible notes at a fair value, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of approximately $6.6 million. As of December 31, 2023, Legacy XTI re-measured the convertible notes at fair value resulting in the convertible notes balance being increased by $9.1 million, and therefore an additional loss being recognized of $9.1 million.
Provision for Income Taxes
There was an income tax provision of approximately $0.02 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to an income tax benefit of $0.0 for the comparable period in the prior year. The income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2024 is attributable to minimum state income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources as of December 31, 2024
Our current capital resources and operating results as of and through December 31, 2024, consist of:
1. an overall working capital deficit of approximately $8.8 million;
2. cash of approximately $4.1 million;
3. net cash used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 of approximately $22.3 million.
The breakdown of our overall working capital deficit is as follows (in thousands):
Working Capital Assets Liabilities Net
Cash and cash equivalents $ 4,105 $ - $ 4,105
Accounts receivable, net / accounts and related party payables 5,538 (4,832 )
Prepaid expenses and other current assets 1,018 - 1,018
Inventory 2,214 - 2,214
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities - 6,703 (6,703 )
Accrued interest - (522 )
Customer deposits - 1,350 (1,350 )
Operating lease obligation - (119 )
Deferred revenue - (532 )
Notes and other receivables / short-term debt 2,657 (2,119 )
Total $ 8,581 $ 17,421 $ (8,840 )
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Contractual obligations are cash that we are obligated to pay as part of certain contracts that we have entered during our course of business. Our contractual obligations consist of operating lease liabilities and acquisition liabilities that are included in our consolidated balance sheet and vendor commitments associated with agreements that are legally binding. As of December 31, 2024, the total obligation for operating leases is approximately $0.4 million, of which approximately $0.1 million is expected to be paid in the next twelve months.
On March 31, 2025, the Company repaid in full the promissory notes that were issued to Streeterville Capital, LLC on May 1, 2024 and May 24, 2024. As of the date of this filing, we owed $65,000 under a secured promissory note with the SBA which is due in 2050. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.
Customer Deposits
As of December 31, 2024, we received conditional pre-orders under a combination of non-binding aircraft purchase agreements, reservation deposit agreements, options and letters of intent for aircraft which generated approximately $1.4 million of cash from customer deposits. These funds from customer reservation deposits will not be recorded as revenue until the orders for our TriFan 600 airplane are delivered, which may not be for many years or at all if we do not deliver the airplanes. The deposits prioritize orders when the TriFan 600 airplane becomes available for delivery. Customers making deposits are not obligated to purchase any airplanes until they execute a definitive purchase agreement. Customers may request a return of their refundable deposit any time up until the execution of a purchase agreement. Customers’ request for a return of their refundable deposits could adversely affect our liquidity resources and we may be financially unable to return such deposits.
Consulting Agreement with Prior “Legacy Inpixon” CEO and Subsequent Settlement Agreement
On March 27, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with 3AM Investments LLC (an entity controlled by Nadir Ali (“Ali”), the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and a former director of the Company) (“3AM”), Grafiti Group LLC (“Grafiti Group”) and Ali (the “Settlement Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to settle certain existing obligations owed to former management. As a result of the Settlement Agreement, the Company has an outstanding advisory fee obligation to Ali of $1,500,000 (the “Deferred Amount”) as of the date of this report, which is due in $500,000 installments on June 30, 2025, September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2025. Upon payment of the Deferred Amount in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Ali Advisory Fees shall be deemed to be satisfied in full and no further amounts shall be payable by the Company to Ali or his affiliated parties pursuant to the Ali Consulting Agreement dated March 12, 2024. See Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report for more information about the Ali Consulting Agreement.

Risks and Uncertainties
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $8.8 million, and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had a net loss of approximately $35.6 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company used approximately $22.3 million of cash for operating activities.
There can be no assurances that the Company will ever earn revenues sufficient to support its operations, or that it will ever be profitable. In order to continue its operations, the Company has historically supplemented the revenues it earned with proceeds from the sale of our equity, including through our now expired ATM with Maxim (as discussed below), and debt securities and proceeds from loans and bank credit lines. We believe that our current revenue, as supplemented by proceeds from our financings, including the approximately $21.6 million net proceeds we raised in various public offerings of our securities placed and underwritten by ThinkEquity LLC during the first quarter of 2025, a portion of which was used to fully repay short-term obligations including the outstanding Streeterville promissory note balances and remaining Strategic Transaction Bonus liability, along with our ability to defer or eliminate certain operating expenses that are under our control, will provide us with liquidity to fund our planned operating needs for at least the next twelve months.
According to our current development schedule, we do not expect to obtain FAA type certification and other necessary regulatory approvals and commence deliveries of the TriFan 600 until 2030 at the earliest. Therefore, we intend to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings as we continue to advance the design and certification of the TriFan 600. See “ - Recent Events - March 2025 Underwritten Offering” and “ - Recent Events - January 2025 Registered Direct Offering” for more information about our recent public offerings of our equity securities.
As a result of our failure to timely file a Current Report on Form 8-K, upon the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we became ineligible to use Form S-3 until August 2025 at the earliest. Our inability to use Form S-3 may significantly impair our ability to raise necessary capital to fund our operations and execute our strategy. If we seek to access the capital markets through a registered offering during the period of time that we are unable to use Form S-3, we may be required to publicly disclose the proposed offering and the material terms thereof before the offering commences, we may experience delays in the offering process due to SEC review of a Form S-1 registration statement and we may incur increased offering and transaction costs and other considerations.
As discussed in Note 10 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I, Item 8 of this report, on July 22, 2022, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Maxim as sales agent (as amended from time to time, the “Equity Distribution Agreement”), pursuant to which we could offer and sell, from time to time through Maxim, shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering amount of up to approximately $83.3 million under our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “ATM”). The term of the Equity Distribution Agreement expired on December 31, 2024. Maxim was entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold excluding Maxim’s costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its services, including the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of its legal counsel. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold 948,484 shares of common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement at per share prices between approximately $10.02 and $47.57, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $12.6 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold 998,447 shares of common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement at per share prices between approximately $10.02 and $337.36, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $22.2 million. Since the date of the Equity Distribution Agreement through the date of this report, the Company sold 1,170,561 shares of common stock at per share prices between approximately $4.10 and $465.56 under the Equity Distribution Agreement, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $52.2 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
XTI Aerospace, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of XTI Aerospace, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, based on our audits, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the period ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Goodwill Impairment
The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves significant judgments and estimates, particularly with respect to the fair value measurement of its reporting units. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2024, and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than it carrying amount. We identified the evaluation of goodwill impairment as a critical audit matter because it involved complex and subjective judgments by management.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to goodwill impairments include the following, among others:
● We obtained an understanding of the Company’s process for identifying and evaluating potential goodwill impairment and reviewed the methodologies used for impairment testing.
● We evaluated the appropriateness of the valuation models used by the Company, including the discounted cash flow model, and verified its mathematical accuracy.
● We assessed the Company’s valuation model, including key assumptions, estimates, and sensitivity analysis.
● We assessed the reasonableness of key assumptions and estimates used by the Company in their valuation models, including growth rates, discount rates, long-term growth rates, and revenue projections.
● We reviewed the sensitivity analyses performed by the Company to understand how changes in key assumptions could impact the fair value conclusions.
● We reviewed the disclosures in the financial statements related to goodwill impairment to ensure adequacy and compliance with accounting standards.
Business Combination
The Company completed a significant business combination during the year. Accounting for this business combination involved significant judgment and estimation by management, particularly in determining the fair value of identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired, as well as the resulting goodwill. The Company used various valuation models and engaged third-party specialists to assist in these valuations. Given the complexity and judgment involved in accounting for the business combination, we identified the evaluation of the business combination as a critical audit matter. This involved significant audit effort and the use of professionals with specialized skills and knowledge.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to business combination include the following, among others:
● We obtained an understanding of the terms and conditions of the business combination by reviewing the purchase agreement and other related documents.
● We evaluated the appropriateness of the valuation methodologies used by management to determine the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This included reviewing the discounted cash flow models, market approach, and cost approach used for the valuation.
● We tested the completeness and accuracy of the purchase price allocation by verifying the consideration transferred.
● We involved our valuation specialists to assist in assessing the methodologies and assumptions used by management in the fair value measurements of the acquired intangible assets.
● We reviewed the disclosures in the financial statements related to the business combination to ensure adequacy and compliance with accounting standards.

Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business
On March 12, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), XTI Aerospace, Inc., the “Company”, formerly known as Inpixon (“Legacy Inpixon”), Superfly Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy Inpixon (“Merger Sub”), and XTI Aircraft Company, a Delaware corporation (“Legacy XTI”), completed their previously announced merger transaction pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 24, 2023 and amended on December 30, 2023 and March 12, 2024 (the “XTI Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Legacy XTI merged in a reverse triangular merger with Merger Sub with Legacy XTI surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “XTI Merger”). In connection with the closing of the XTI Merger, our corporate name changed from Inpixon to “XTI Aerospace, Inc.” and the combined company opened for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on March 13, 2024 under the new ticker symbol “XTIA.”
The Company determined the XTI Merger should be accounted for as a reverse acquisition with Legacy XTI being considered the accounting acquirer. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements included in this report represent a continuation of the financial statements of Legacy XTI and the results of operations of the accounting acquired entity, Legacy Inpixon, are included in the consolidated financial statements as of the Closing Date and through the December 31, 2024 reporting date.
The Company is primarily an aircraft development company. The Company also provides real-time location systems (“RTLS”) for the industrial sector, which was Legacy Inpixon’s focus prior to the closing of the XTI Merger. Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, the Company is developing a vertical takeoff and landing (“VTOL”) airplane that is designed to take off and land like a helicopter and cruise like a fixed-wing business airplane. Since 2013, the Company has been engaged primarily in developing the aerodynamic performance and top-level engineering design of the TriFan 600, building and testing a two-thirds scale unmanned version of the TriFan 600, generating pre-orders for the TriFan 600, and seeking funds from investors to enable the Company to advance the detailed design and certification of the TriFan 600, and to eventually engage in commercial production and sale of TriFan 600.
Our RTLS solutions leverage cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, AI, and big data analytics to provide real-time tracking and monitoring of assets, machines, and people within industrial environments. With our RTLS solutions, businesses can achieve improved operational efficiency, enhanced safety and reduced costs. By having real-time visibility into operations, industrial organizations can make informed, data-driven decisions, minimize downtime, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
Note 2 - Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting records of Legacy XTI and as of March 12, 2024 and forward (the effective date of the XTI Merger) the accounting records of XTI Aerospace, Inc. (formerly known as Inpixon), Inpixon GmbH (formerly known as Nanotron Technologies GmbH), Inpixon Holding UK Limited, and Intranav GmbH. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $8.8 million, and cash of approximately $4.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had a net loss of approximately $35.6 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company used approximately $22.3 million of cash for operating activities.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold 998,447 shares of common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement at per share prices between approximately $10.02 and $337.36, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $22.2 million.
During May 2024, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC, pursuant to which the Company issued two secured promissory notes to Streeterville Capital, LLC in May 2024, resulting in aggregate cash proceeds to the Company of $2.0 million.
There can be no assurances that the Company will ever earn revenues sufficient to support its operations, or that it will ever be profitable. In order to continue its operations, the Company has supplemented the revenues it earned with proceeds from the sale of its equity securities and proceeds from loans.
The Company’s recurring losses and utilization of cash in its operations are indicators of going concern. However, the Company’s current liquidity position was favorably impacted by the cash raised under public offerings aggregating approximately $23.3 million subsequent to December 31, 2024, along with repaying and settling certain debt and other obligations during March 2025 (refer to Note 23). This, along with the Company’s ability to defer or eliminate certain operating expenses that are under its control and the revenues expected to be generated by the Industrial IoT segment lead the Company to believe it has the ability to mitigate such concerns for a period of at least one year from the date these financial statements are issued.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates consist of:
● the valuation of stock-based compensation;
● the valuation of the Company’s common stock issued and assets acquired in transactions, including acquisitions;
●
the valuation of equity securities;
●
the valuation of convertible notes receivable;
●
the valuation of warrant liabilities and assets;
●
the valuation of convertible notes payable, at fair value;
●
the valuation of loan conversion derivatives; and
●
the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash consists primarily of demand deposit bank accounts, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity from date of purchase of three months or less, or that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, to be cash equivalents.
Credit Risk and Concentrations
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for credit losses.
The customers who account for 10% or more of the Company’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 or 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding receivable balance as of December 31, 2024 are presented as follows:

Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations” using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value is recorded as goodwill. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”)
In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company recognizes IPR&D at fair value as of the acquisition date and subsequently accounts for it as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Once an IPR&D project has been completed, the useful life of the IPR&D asset is determined and amortized accordingly. If the IPR&D asset is abandoned, the remaining carrying value is written off. During fiscal year 2024, the Company acquired IPR&D through the XTI Merger.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Finite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of developed technology, patents, customer relationships, and trade names/trademarks. They are amortized ratably over a range of 5 to 15 years, which approximates customer attrition rate and technology obsolescence.
The Company tests goodwill for potential impairment at least annually, or more frequently if an event or other circumstance indicates that the Company may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the net assets of the reporting unit. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company bypasses the qualitative assessment, or if the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the Company performs a quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount.
The Company calculates the estimated fair value of a reporting unit using a weighting of the income and market approaches. For the income approach, the Company uses internally developed discounted cash flow models that include the following assumptions, among others: projections of revenues, expenses, and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends; expected future investments to grow new units; and estimated discount rates. For the market approach, the Company uses internal analyses based primarily on market comparables. The Company bases these assumptions on its historical data and experience, third party appraisals, industry projections, micro and macro general economic condition projections, and its expectations. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company estimated the fair value of a reporting unit with 100% weighting to the income approach.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, inclusive of its right-of-use assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company determined that its long-lived assets were impaired by $2.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company determined none of its long-lived assets were impaired.

Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods it transfers to a customer.
Hardware and Software Revenue Recognition
For sales of hardware and software products, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when they are shipped to the customer, at which control is deemed transferred to the customer, and has title of the product and holds the risks and rewards of ownership.
The Company leverages drop-ship arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouse. In such arrangements, the Company negotiates the sale price with the customer, pays the supplier directly for the product shipped, bears credit risk of collecting payment from its customers and is ultimately responsible for the acceptability of the product and ensuring that such product meets the standards and requirements of the customer. Accordingly, the Company concluded it is the principal in the transaction with the customer and records revenue on a gross basis. The Company receives fixed consideration for sales of hardware and software products. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 to 60 days from the receipt of a customer approved invoice. The Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the costs of obtaining a contract when they are incurred because the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is less than a year.
Software As A Service Revenue Recognition
With respect to sales of the Company’s maintenance, consulting and other service agreements, customers pay fixed monthly fees in exchange for the Company’s service. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied over time as the digital advertising and electronic services are provided continuously throughout the service period. The Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous access to its service.
Professional Services Revenue Recognition
The Company’s professional services include milestone, fixed fee and time and materials contracts. Professional services under milestone contracts are accounted for using the percentage of completion method. As soon as the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Contract costs are expensed as incurred. Contract costs include all amounts that relate directly to the specific contract, are attributable to contract activity, and are specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract.
Contract Balances
The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied, principally within one year.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023
Customer Deposits
The Company periodically enters into aircraft reservation agreements that include a deposit placed by a potential customer. The deposits serve to prioritize orders when the TriFan 600 airplane becomes available for delivery. Customers making deposits are not obligated to purchase any airplanes until they execute a definitive purchase agreement. Customers may request return of their deposit any time up until the execution of a purchase agreement. The Company records such advance deposits as a liability and defers the related revenue recognition until delivery of an airplane occurs, if any.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s stock-based compensation relates to stock options granted to employees and non-employees. The Company recognizes the cost of share-based awards granted to employees and non-employees based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur, which may result in negative expense when forfeitures exceed the expense recorded within the period.
The Company recognizes expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally equal to the vesting period of the award.
The Company estimates the grant-date fair value of the stock option awards with service only vesting conditions using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizes inputs and assumptions which involve inherent uncertainties and generally require significant judgment. As a result, if factors or expected outcomes change and significantly different assumptions or estimates are used, the Company’s stock-based compensation could be materially different. Significant inputs and assumptions include:
● Fair value of Common Stock - As there was no public market for Legacy XTI’s common stock prior to the XTI Merger, the fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock-based awards on the grant-date has historically been determined by Legacy XTI’s Board of Directors with assistance of third-party valuation specialists. Legacy XTI’s Board of Directors exercised reasonable judgment and considered a number of objective and subjective factors to determine the best estimate of the fair market value, which included important developments in Legacy XTI’s operations, actual operating results, financial performance, external market conditions, equity market conditions of comparable public companies, and the lack of marketability of Legacy XTI’s common stock.
● Expected Term - The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and is determined using the simplified method (based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term).
● Expected Volatility - Because Legacy XTI was privately held prior to the XTI Merger and did not have an active trading market for its common stock, the expected volatility was estimated based on the average volatility for publicly traded companies that the Company considers to be comparable, over a period equal to the expected term of the stock option grants.
● Risk-Free Interest Rate - The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of option.
● Expected Dividend - The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and has no plans to pay dividends on its common stock. Therefore, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero.

Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. The Company’s participating securities included the Company’s convertible preferred stock and preferred stock. Neither the holders of convertible preferred stock, preferred stock nor the holders of the Company’s common stock warrants have a contractual obligation to share in losses.
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss, as adjusted for any dividends on the preferred stock for the period, attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for outstanding shares that are subject to repurchase or outstanding shares that are contingently returnable by the holder. Contingently issuable shares, including shares that are issuable for little or no cash consideration, are considered outstanding common shares and included in net loss per share as of the date that all necessary conditions have been satisfied. Such shares include outstanding penny warrants and shares issuable to Xeriant Inc. (“Xeriant”) related to the joint venture arrangement that expired on May 31, 2023.
Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. For periods in which the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders, because potentially dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
The Company records a provision for income taxes for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits for which future realization is uncertain. The Company does not recognize certain tax benefits from uncertain tax positions within the provision for income taxes. The Company may recognize a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. See Note 21 Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding income taxes.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates. The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Revenues and expenses for these subsidiaries are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Gains and losses from these translations are recognized in cumulative translation adjustment included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in Stockholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company remeasures monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Gains and losses from these remeasurements are recognized in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Foreign exchange gains (losses) were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Segments
The Company and its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), acting as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) determined its operating segments in accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). The Company is organized and operates as two reporting segments based on similar economic characteristics, the nature of products and production processes, end-use markets, channels of distribution, and regulatory environments.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
In July 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-03, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which updates codification on how an entity would apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3 to determine whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The effective date of this update is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2023-03 as of January 1, 2024.

Deferred revenue
As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any deferred revenue. As part of the XTI Merger, the Company acquired approximately $0.8 million of deferred revenue, all of which relates to RTLS maintenance agreements.
The Company’s deferred revenue balance of approximately $0.5 million as of December 31, 2024 related to cash received in advance for product maintenance services and professional services provided by the Company’s technical staff. The fair value of the deferred revenue approximates the services to be rendered. The Company expects to satisfy its remaining performance obligations for these maintenance services and professional services, and recognize the deferred revenue and related contract costs over the next twelve months.
Note 5 - Merger Transaction
The XTI Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Legacy Inpixon was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the XTI Merger, Legacy XTI maintains control of the Board of Directors and management of the Company, and the preexisting shareholders of Legacy XTI have majority voting rights of the Company. For accounting purposes, the acquirer is the entity that has obtained control of another entity and, thus, consummated a business combination. Accordingly, Legacy XTI’s assets and liabilities are recorded at carrying value and the assets and liabilities associated with Legacy Inpixon are recorded at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, if applicable, is recognized as goodwill.
The below summarizes the total consideration transferred in the business combination (in thousands):
Fair value of common stock $ 10,939
Fair value of warrants 3,250
Fair value of preferred stock 11,302
Fair value of debt assumed
Total consideration $ 25,605
The Company determined the estimated fair value of common stock included in consideration to be calculated based on Legacy Inpixon’s common stock outstanding of 2,075,743 multiplied by the price of Legacy Inpixon’s common stock on March 12, 2024 of $5.27 (which reflects the 1 to 100 reverse stock split which became effective before the closing of the XTI Merger). The Company utilized Legacy Inpixon’s common stock price in determining fair value as it is more reliably measurable than the value of Legacy XTI’s (accounting acquirer) equity interests given it is not a publicly traded entity.
The aggregate fair value of warrants was approximately $3.3 million was included in the total equity consideration. A portion of this total represents 918,689 warrants outstanding by the Company with a fair value of $1.00 per warrant, which is the warrant’s redemption value. The warrant fair value was determined to be the redemption value as the warrants include protective covenants for the Company which prevent the holder from exercising the warrants. The remainder of this total represents 491,310 warrants with a fair value of $4.75 per warrant which was determined by using level 3 inputs and utilizing a Black-Scholes valuation. Significant inputs related to these warrants are as follows:
Fair value of common stock $ 5.27
Exercise price $ 5.13
Expected term 4.76 years
Volatility 146 %

The assets were valued using a combination of a multi-period excess earnings methodologies, a relief from royalty approach, a discounted cash flow approach and present value of cash flows approach. The goodwill represents the excess fair value after the allocation of intangibles. As a nontaxable transaction, the historical tax bases of the acquired assets, liabilities and tax attributes have carried over. Although no new tax goodwill has been created in the transaction, the Company has approximately $5.8 million of tax deductible goodwill that arose in previous transactions which carries over.
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred merger related transaction costs of approximately $6.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level annually, on October 1, or more frequently if a change in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that potential impairment exists. In accordance with ASC 350, the Company performed a qualitative assessment as of December 31, 2024, to determine if there were any indicators of goodwill impairment that would require a quantitative analysis to be performed. Due to the qualitative analysis, the Company determined that there were triggering indicators of goodwill impairment during the three months ended December 31, 2024 in the form of a sustained decrease of the Company’s stock price and impairment recognized on long-lived assets under ASC 360.
In accordance with ASC 350, given a triggering event was identified, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis related to its Industrial IoT reporting unit, and based on such analysis, the Company concluded that the carrying amount of the reporting unit did not exceed its estimated fair value, indicating that the goodwill of the reporting unit was not impaired. The Company utilized an income approach to assess the fair value of the reporting unit as of December 31, 2024. The income approach considered the discounted cash flow model, considering projected future cash flows (including timing and profitability), a discount rate of 34% reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows, perpetual growth rate of 2%, and projected future economic and market conditions.

In accordance with ASC 360, the Company performed a qualitative assessment as of December 31, 2024, to determine if there were any indicators of impairment that would require a quantitative analysis to be performed. Based on the qualitative analysis, the Company determined that there were triggering indicators of long-lived asset impairment during the three months ended December 31, 2024 in the form of a sustained decrease of the Company’s stock price and the Company beginning planning the process of winding down and/or selling the Nanotron business in the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

The Company notes that these assets were part of the Company’s Industrial IoT segment.
The Company assessed the fair value of the Customer Relationships by using an income approach in the form of a discounted cash flow model, which considered projected future cash flows (including timing and profitability), discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows, perpetual growth rate, and projected future economic and market conditions. The Company assessed the fair value of the Trade Names & Trademarks and Proprietary Technology by using an income approach in the form of a relief from royalty model, which considered a specified royalty rate, discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows, perpetual growth rate, and projected future economic and market conditions.
The Company notes that for the Trade Names & Trademarks, Proprietary Technology, and Customer Relationships included in the asset groups that were assessed for fair value, the Company reassessed the useful lives of these long-lived assets. Management notes that the remaining useful lives of the Trade Names & Trademarks, Proprietary Technology, and Customer Relationships were 8 years, 5 years, and 0 years, respectively.

Promissory Note - May 1, 2024
On May 1, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC (the “Holder”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Holder a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in an initial principal amount of approximately $1.4 million, which is payable on or before the date that is 12 months from the issuance date. The Purchase Agreement provides that, subject to the mutual consent of the Company and the Holder, the Holder would purchase an additional secured promissory note on the date that is 30 days from the Closing Date and another secured promissory note on the date that is 60 days from the Closing Date. The initial principal amount of the Note includes an original issue discount of approximately $0.3 million.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on May 24, 2024, the Company issued and sold to Streeterville Capital, LLC an additional secured promissory note in the initial principal amount of $1.3 million, which carries an original issue discount of $0.3 million. The terms of this additional note are identical to the terms of the May 1, 2024 note, as described above.

Note Conversion
Immediately prior to the effective time of the XTI Merger on March 12, 2024, certain convertible notes (collectively classified as “convertible notes, at fair value”) with an aggregate principal and interest balance of $16.8 million were converted into Legacy XTI shares, which converted into an aggregate of 3,005 shares of the Company’s common stock at the effective time of the XTI Merger. Immediately prior to the conversion, the convertible notes, at fair value were marked to market resulting in a gain of $12.9 million, which is included in change in fair value of convertible notes payable in the other income and expense section of the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the conversions, the notes were satisfied in full and therefore relieved the Company of all obligations.
Note Inducements
To induce certain note holders to convert their outstanding note balances into shares of Legacy XTI common stock ahead of the XTI Merger, Legacy XTI entered into voluntary note conversion letter agreements in February 2024 as detailed in the below table. Per the letter agreements, some or all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the notes was converted at a reduced conversion price into shares of Legacy XTI common stock immediately prior to the XTI Merger closing time, which converted into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the closing of the XTI Merger. In connection with some of the voluntary note conversions, the Company assumed a repayment obligation with respect to any outstanding balance under the notes that was not converted into Legacy XTI shares. The Company accounted for these conversions as an inducement and recognized a loss of approximately $6.7 million related to the fair value of the additional shares issued compared to the original terms of the convertible note, which is included in inducement loss on debt conversions in the other income and expense section of the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table details the notes converted into shares of Legacy XTI common stock (in thousands, except share amounts and conversion price).

To induce David Brody, a board member and founder of Legacy XTI, to convert his outstanding note balances into shares of Legacy XTI common stock, Legacy XTI entered into a voluntary note conversion letter agreement with the note holder in February 2024. Per the letter agreement, $0.9 million of the outstanding note balance was converted at a reduced conversion price of $865.45 into shares of Legacy XTI common stock immediately prior to the XTI Merger closing time equal to 1,062 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the Company assumed the obligation to pay the note holder $0.2 million of the note balance that was not converted into Legacy XTI shares. This repayment obligation was subsequently paid in full on April 1, 2024. The Company accounted for this conversion as an inducement and recognized an inducement charge of $1.0 million related to the fair value of the additional shares issued compared to the original terms of the convertible note. As this note holder is a related party of the Company, the Company accounted for the conversion as a capital transaction and therefore recorded the inducement charge within additional paid-in capital.

Series 9 Preferred Stock
On March 12, 2024, the Company filed the Certificate of Designations of Preferences and Rights of Series 9 Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”), with the Secretary of State of Nevada, designating 20,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 of the Company, as Series 9 Preferred Stock, which was amended by the Certificate of Amendment to Designations of Preferences and Rights of Series 9 Preferred Stock filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of Nevada on April 30, 2024. Each share of Series 9 Preferred Stock has a stated face value of $1,050 (“Stated Value”) and do not have any voting rights. Preferred stock is recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at its redemption value which is the carrying value of the redeemable preferred stock.
Each share of Series 9 Preferred Stock will accrue a rate of return on the Stated Value in the amount of 10% per year, compounded annually to the extent not paid, and pro rata for any fractional year periods (the “Preferred Return”). The Preferred Return will accrue on each share of Series 9 Preferred Stock from the date of issuance and will be payable on a quarterly basis, either in cash or through the issuance of an additional number of shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock equal to (i) the Preferred Return then accrued and unpaid, divided by (ii) the Stated Value, at the Company’s discretion. The Preferred Stock holders will also receive a quarterly dividend at 2% per quarter, beginning on the one-year anniversary of the issuance date and for all periods following the two-year anniversary of the issuance date of a share of Series 9 Stock, the dividend shall be 3% per quarter.
The Company may elect, in the sole discretion of the Board, to redeem all or any portion of the Series 9 Stock then issued and outstanding from all of the Series 9 Holders by paying to the applicable Series 9 Holders an amount in cash equal to the liquidation amount as defined in the preferred stock agreement.
Exchange Agreement
On March 12, 2024, Inpixon and Streeterville Capital, LLC (the “Note Holder” or “Streeterville”), the holder of an outstanding promissory note issued on December 30, 2022 (as amended, the “December 2022 Note”), entered into an Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which the Note Holder exchanged the remaining balance of principal and accrued interest under the December 2022 Note in the aggregate amount of approximately $9.8 million for 9,802 shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), based on an exchange price of $1,000 per share of Series 9 Preferred Stock. The Company analyzed the exchange of the principal and interest as an extinguishment and compared the net carrying value of the debt being extinguished to the reacquisition price (shares of preferred stock being issued). The Company notes that the net carrying value of the debt was the fair value of the preferred stock (reacquisition price). As such, no gain or loss was recognized upon debt extinguishment. Following such exchange and the extinguishment of the December 2022 Note, the December 2022 Note is deemed paid in full, automatically canceled, and will not be reissued.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On March 12, 2024, Legacy Inpixon entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with 3AM Investments, LLC (“3AM”), an entity controlled by Legacy Inpixon’s former director and former Chief Executive Officer, Nadir Ali (such entity, the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser purchased 1,500 shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock for a total purchase price of approximately $1.5 million, based on a purchase price of $1,000 per share of Series 9 Preferred Stock. The Company agreed that the Purchaser will be deemed a “Required Holder” as defined in the Certificate of Designation as long as the Purchaser holds any shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock.
The Securities Purchase Agreement sets forth certain restrictions on the Company’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the Series 9 Preferred Stock pursuant thereto, including that the proceeds must be used in connection with the redemption of the Series 9 Preferred Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Designation or working capital purposes, and may not, without the consent of the required holders of Series 9 Preferred Stock, be used for, among other things, (i) the redemption of any XTIA common stock or common stock equivalents, (ii) the settlement of any outstanding litigation, or (iii) for the repayment of debt for borrowed money to any officer or director, or Merger-transaction related bonuses to any employee or vendor except for such non-merger transaction related bonuses as may be payable to participants pursuant to the Company’s existing employee bonus plan.
In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the direct and incremental expenses incurred were immaterial.

Amendment to Series 9 Preferred Stock
The Certificate of Amendment to Designations of Preferences and Rights of Series 9 Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Amendment”) allows the Company to pay the holders of Series 9 Preferred Stock, if such holders agree, with securities or other property of the Company in an amount equal to the Series 9 Preferred Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Series 9 Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation) in the event the Company elects to redeem all of any portion of the Series 9 Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding (a “Corporation Optional Redemption”). Previously, the Company was to pay any such amount in only cash. The Certificate of Amendment also now provides that the Company will provide notice of a Corporation Optional Redemption to the holders of Series 9 Preferred Stock within five business days prior to the consummation of such redemption rather than five business days following the determination of the Company’s board of directors to consummate such redemption. In addition, the Certificate of Amendment eliminates the requirement for the Company to obtain the written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Series 9 Preferred Stock before repaying any outstanding indebtedness owed to any holder of Series 9 Preferred Stock or its affiliates. The Company evaluated the amendment and accounted for it as a modification, which requires the Company to recognize any increase in fair value as an expense. However, the Company concluded the increase in the fair value of the Series 9 Preferred Stock from immediately before to immediately after the amendment is immaterial.
Series 9 Preferred Stock Exchanges
From April through December 31, 2024, the Company entered into exchange agreements with the holder of shares of the Company’s Series 9 Preferred Stock pursuant to which the Company and the holder agreed to exchange 9,790 shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock with an aggregate stated value of $10,279,500 (the “Preferred Shares”) for 441,391 shares of common stock (the “Preferred Exchange Shares”) at an effective price per share ranging from $10.00 to $740.00.
The Company issued the Preferred Exchange Shares to the holder, at which time the Preferred Shares were cancelled. The Preferred Exchange Shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, on the basis that (a) the Preferred Exchange Shares were issued in exchange for other outstanding securities of the Company, (b) there was no additional consideration delivered by the holder in connection with the exchange and (c) there were no commissions or other remuneration paid by the Company in connection with the exchange. The Company notes that the redemption of the Preferred Shares to Common Stock was accounted for as an extinguishment. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a deemed dividend of $489,506. The deemed dividends represented the excess fair value of the common shares issued over the carrying amount of the Preferred Shares and were accounted for as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
Accrued Return Conversion to Series 9 Preferred Stock
During the year ended December 31, 2024, Streeterville and 3AM converted the 10% rate of return that had accrued through December 2024 into 457.00 and 118.82 shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock, respectively.
Series 9 Preferred Stock Redemptions
On November 17, 2024, the Company entered into a Consent, Waiver and Release Agreement (the “Consent Agreement”) with 3AM and Streeterville, each as a Required Holder, pursuant to which the Series 9 Holders authorized the Company to raise up to an additional $5,000,000 under the ATM (the “ATM Increase”) in consideration for the Company’s agreement to pay 20% of the proceeds it receives from sales under the ATM in connection with the ATM Increase (the “Redemption Proceeds”) to the Series 9 Holders to redeem a portion of their Series 9 Preferred Stock, to be distributed as follows: (i) 75% of the Redemption Proceeds to Streeterville (15% of all proceeds received from sales under the ATM), and (ii) 25% of the Redemption Proceeds to 3AM (5% of all proceeds received from sales under the ATM). Distribution payments will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds weekly and will be used to partially redeem the Series 9 Preferred Stock.
Pursuant to the Consent Agreement, the Company delivered an aggregate of $492,331 to Streeterville and $302,116 to 3AM, which amounts represent the Redemption Proceeds payable to Streeterville and 3AM, respectively, in connection with amounts raised from sales under the ATM during the period from November 7, 2024 through December 31, 2024. Such payments were made for 469.00 shares of the Company’s Series 9 Preferred Stock held by Streeterville and 287.70 shares of the Company’s Series 9 Preferred Stock held by 3AM. The Company entered into acknowledgment agreements with each of Streeterville and 3AM to record such payments.
As of December 31, 2024, Streeterville and 3AM held zero and 1331.12 shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock, respectively. Pursuant to a Settlement Agreement dated March 27, 2025, the Company redeemed the remaining Series 9 Preferred Stock held by 3AM as further disclosed in Note 23.

Note 12 - Stock Award Plans and Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has three Employee Stock Incentive plans. The Company assumed Legacy XTI’s 2017 Employee and Consultant Stock Ownership Plan (the “2017 Plan”) in connection with the XTI Merger. Legacy Inpixon had put in place a 2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and a 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan” and together with the 2011 Plan, the “Legacy Inpixon Option Plans”). The Company determined that activity within the 2011 Plan is not material.
Plan
During 2017, Legacy XTI adopted the 2017 Plan, which was amended in 2021 to increase the maximum shares eligible to be granted under the 2017 Plan. The Company may issue awards in the form of restricted stock units and stock options to employees, directors, and consultants. Under the 2017 Plan, stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors on the date of grant. Options generally have contractual terms of ten years. Incentive stock options (ISO) may only be granted to employees, whereas all other stock awards may be granted to employees, directors, consultants and other key stakeholders. As of December 31, 2024, there are no shares available for future grants under the 2017 Plan.
Plan
In February 2018, Legacy Inpixon adopted the 2018 Plan which is utilized for employees, corporate officers, directors, consultants and other key persons employed. The 2018 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, NQSOs, stock grants and other stock-based awards, including Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units (as defined in the 2018 Plan). As of December 31, 2024, there are no unvested Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units outstanding under the 2018 Plan.
Incentive stock options granted under the Legacy Inpixon Option Plans are granted at exercise prices at a minimum of 100% of the estimated fair market value of the underlying common stock at date of grant. For any individual possessing more than 10% of the total outstanding common stock of the Company, the exercise price per share for incentive stock options is a minimum 110% of the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. Options granted under these Legacy Inpixon Option Plans vest over periods ranging from immediately to four years and are exercisable over period sup to ten years from the grant date.
The aggregate number of shares that may be awarded under the 2018 Plan as of December 31, 2024 was 280,593. As of December 31, 2024, 38,359 shares of common stock were available for future grant under the 2018 Plan.

Forfeitures during the year ended December 31, 2024 were primarily due to the departures of Legacy XTI’s former Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s former Chief Legal Officer. The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Stock Option Exercises
To induce option holders to exercise stock options ahead of the XTI Merger so to assist the Company in qualifying for a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, Legacy XTI entered into exercise letter agreements with several option holders in February 2024 at reduced exercise prices from the original option agreements. The net impact of these option inducements to the condensed consolidated statement of operations was not material. In total, 1,038,871 stock options granted under the 2017 Plan were net exercised into pre-exchange common shares of Legacy XTI immediately prior to the XTI Merger closing time, which resulted in the issuance of 371 post-merger exchange and post 1-for-250 reverse split common shares.

Warrant Exercises
On March 11, 2024, Legacy XTI entered into an amendment (the “Warrant Amendment”) with Mesa Airlines (“Mesa”). The Warrant Amendment modifies the vesting criteria with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrant issued by the Company to Mesa pursuant to the conditional aircraft purchase contract described below. As amended by the Warrant Amendment, (i) one-third or 757 warrant shares vested upon the execution and delivery of the conditional aircraft purchase contract, dated February 2, 2022, by and between the Company and Mesa, relating to the purchase of 100 TriFan 600 airplane, (ii) one-sixth or 378 of the warrant shares vested on March 12, 2024 in which the Company recorded $0.5 million of stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, (iii) one-sixth or 378 unvested warrant shares lapsed on March 12, 2024, and (iv) one-third or 757 warrant shares will vest upon the acceptance of delivery and final purchase of the first TriFan 600 airplane by Mesa pursuant to the Aircraft Purchase Agreement. On March 12, 2024 and per a warrant exercise letter agreement, all vested warrants shares were net exercised into shares of Legacy XTI common stock immediately prior to the XTI Merger closing time, which resulted in the issuance of 1,135 shares of the Company’s common stock.
To induce warrant holders to exercise warrant shares, Legacy XTI entered into exercise letter agreements with several warrant holders in February 2024 at reduced exercise prices from the original warrant agreements. The net impact of these warrant inducements to the condensed consolidated statement of operations was not material. In total, 423 warrant shares (adjusted for the merger exchange) were net exercised into shares of Legacy XTI common stock immediately prior to the XTI Merger closing time, which resulted in the issuance of 423 shares of the Company’s common stock.
During the second quarter of 2024, an additional 82 warrant shares originally issued by Legacy XTI were exercised into 82 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $30.00.
Warrant Exchanges
On April 30, 2024 and May 1, 2024, the Company entered into warrant exchange agreements with the holders of certain of our then outstanding warrants (the “Existing Warrants”) initially issued on May 17, 2023. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, on May 2, 2024, the Company issued to the warrant holders, who held an aggregate of 3,675 warrant shares, a ratio of 0.70 shares of common stock for each Existing Warrant, for an aggregate of 2,573 shares of common stock valued at approximately $1.6 million, in exchange for the Existing Warrants. As the Existing Warrants were liability classified, the exchange resulted in the liability being (i) remeasured at the warrant redemption value of approximately $1.6 million resulting in a fair value loss of approximately $0.7 million, which is reported in other income (expense) within the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, and (ii) reclassified to stockholders’ equity (deficit) within the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. Following the consummation of the warrant exchange, the Existing Warrants were cancelled and no further shares are issuable pursuant to the Existing Warrants agreement.

On May 30, 2024, the Company entered into a warrant exchange agreement with the holder of certain warrants of the Company (the “Assumed Warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock, which Assumed Warrants were originally issued by Legacy XTI and assumed by the Company in connection with the XTI Merger. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company issued to the warrant holder an aggregate of 462 shares of common stock valued at approximately $0.1 million in exchange for 771 Assumed Warrants, which included 671 warrants shares granted during the year ended December 31, 2024 as result of price protection clauses per the Assumed Warrant agreements relating to subsequent equity sales by the Company. As the Assumed Warrants were liability classified, the exchange resulted in the liability being (i) remeasured at the warrant redemption value of approximately $0.1 million resulting in an immaterial loss, and (ii) reclassified to stockholders’ equity (deficit) within the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. Following the consummation of the warrant exchange, the Assumed Warrants were cancelled and no further shares are issuable pursuant to the Assumed Warrants agreement.
On June 12, 2024 and June 13, 2024, the Company entered into warrant exchange agreements with the holders (the “Warrant Holders”) of 1,965 existing warrants of the Company (the “Existing Warrants”) initially issued on December 19, 2023, which were exercisable for an aggregate of 1,965 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, on June 13, 2024, the Company issued to the Warrant Holders 1.50 shares of Common Stock for each Existing Warrant, for an aggregate of 2,935 shares of common stock, in exchange for the Existing Warrants. Following the consummation of the Warrant Exchange, the Existing Warrants were cancelled and no further shares are issuable pursuant to the Existing Warrants agreements. The incremental increase in fair value of the Existing Warrants of approximately $0.3 million as a result of the exchange was recorded as a return of capital, which reduces the additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024, and is shown as a reconciling item on the consolidated statements of operations from Net Loss to Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders.
Warrant Activity
On May 9, 2023 and in conjunction with the Convertible Note - 2017 (Note 9), Legacy XTI cancelled 224 warrants previously issued to the noteholder with an exercise price of $4,201.22 and issued 343 new warrants with an exercise price of $4,201.22. The warrants are exercisable upon the date of grant through the contractual term of 5 years. Using the Black-Scholes model, Legacy XTI determined the grant-date fair value of the warrants was approximately $1.1 million, which was recorded as a debt discount and additional paid-in-capital on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.
Note 14 - Reverse Stock Splits
The Company effected a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-250 effective as of January 10, 2025. The reverse stock split did not alter the par value of the Company’s common stock or modify any voting rights or other terms of the common stock. The reverse stock split was primarily intended to bring the Company in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements for maintaining its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company has reflected the reverse stock split on a retroactive basis herein, unless otherwise indicated.
In addition, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-100, effective as of March 12, 2024, for the purpose of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and satisfying the bid price requirements applicable for initial listing applications in connection with the closing of the XTI Merger. The Company has reflected the reverse stock split on a retroactive basis herein, unless otherwise indicated.
Note 15 - Segments
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), acting as the Chief Operating Decision Maker, or (“CODM”), regularly reviews and manages certain areas of its businesses, resulting in the Company identifying two reportable segments: Industrial IoT and Commercial Aviation. The Company manages and reports its operating results through these two reportable segments. This allows the Company to enhance its customer focus and better align its business models, resources, and cost structure to the specific current and future growth drivers of each business, while providing increased transparency to the Company’s shareholders.
The commercial aviation segment is currently in the pre-revenue development stage and its primary activity is the development of the TriFan 600 airplane. The Industrial IoT segment generates revenue primarily from the sale of real-time location system solutions for the industrial sector and its customers are primarily located in Germany and the U.S. As it relates to the Industrial IoT segment, the results disclosed in the table below only reflect activity following the XTI Merger closing through the December 31, 2024 reporting date.
Information on each of our reportable segments and reconciliation to consolidated loss from operations is presented in the table below. We have assigned certain previously reported expenses to each segment to conform to the way we internally manage and monitor our business. Unallocated operating expenses include costs that are not specific to a particular segment but are general to the group; included expenses incurred for administrative and accounting staff, general liability and other insurance, accrued consulting fees and transaction bonuses relating to former Legacy Inpixon executives, professional fees and other similar corporate expenses.

Note 16 - Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines fair value based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy. These levels are:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and values determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, warrant asset, accounts payable, warrant liability, convertible notes, and the loan conversion derivative. Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are stated at their respective carrying amounts, which approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
The changes in fair value of the warrant liability, convertible notes, and warrant asset are presented within ‘Change in fair value of warrant liability’, ‘Change in fair value of convertible notes’, and ‘Other expense’, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The fair value of the Level 3 warrant liability was determined using a pricing model with certain significant unobservable market data inputs.

Investment in Equity Securities
On October 23, 2023, a Business Combination Agreement (the “Damon Business Combination Agreement”) was entered into by and among XTI, Grafiti Holding Inc., 1444842 B.C. LTD (“Amalco Sub”), and Damon Motors Inc. (“Damon”), pursuant to which Damon combined and merged with Amalco Sub, a British Columbia corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grafiti Holding, Inc., with Damon continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grafiti Holding, Inc. (the “Grafiti Holding Transaction”). The Damon Business Combination closed in November 2024.
On October 26, 2023, Legacy Inpixon purchased a convertible note through a private placement in aggregate principal amount of $3.0 million for a purchase price of $3.0 million paid in cash from Damon. Interest on the convertible note accrues at 12% per annum. The note was subsequently amended in November 2024. As amended, the note was set to mature on November 30, 2024. The convertible note is subject to certain conversion features which include qualified financing, and/or qualified transaction, as defined in the securities purchase agreement. The note was required to convert upon Damon Motors Inc.’s completion of the public company event. The convertible note receivable is not traded in active markets and its fair value was determined using a present value technique. The convertible note receivable is accounted for as an available-for-sale debt security based on “Level 3” inputs, which consist of unobservable inputs and reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset, with unrealized holding gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income (loss).
On November 18, 2024, Damon completed the Grafiti Holding Transaction which converted the Company’s note receivable into 402,338 shares of Damon’s common stock. The carrying value of the note receivable at conversion was approximately $3.7 million. The fair value of the shares received was approximately $1.0 million at the time of conversion and the shares received are accounted for as a marketable equity security and measured at fair value. This equity investment is included in Other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As a result of the automatic conversion, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $2.6 million in the consolidated statements of operations, which includes the $59,000 unrealized gain in other comprehensive income reclassified to earnings.
Damon common stock is traded in active markets, as the security is trading under “DMN” on the Nasdaq Exchange. The Damon common stock is accounted for as marketable equity securities based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets, with unrealized holding gains and losses included in earnings. The fair value was determined by the closing trading price of the security as of December 31, 2024. The Company recognized an unrealized loss on Damon common stock of approximately $0.6 million which is included in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Note 19 - Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims, charges and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it is both probable that the loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, it discloses the possible loss or range of loss. Any potential gains associated with legal matters are not recorded until the period in which all contingencies are resolved and the gain is realized or realizable. Depending on the nature and timing of any such proceedings that may arise, an unfavorable resolution of a matter could materially affect the Company’s future consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period. Except if otherwise indicated, it is not reasonably possible to determine the probability of loss or estimate damages for any of the matters discussed below, and therefore, the Company has not established reserves for any of these matters.
On December 6, 2023, Xeriant filed a complaint against Legacy XTI, along with two unnamed companies and five unnamed persons, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Xeriant Matter”). On January 31, 2024, Xeriant filed an amended complaint, which added the Company as a defendant to the Xeriant Matter. On February 29, 2024, Xeriant filed a second amended complaint. The Xeriant Matter alleges that Legacy XTI has prevented Xeriant from obtaining compensation owed under various agreements entered into between Xeriant and Legacy XTI, including but not limited to a joint venture agreement, a cross-patent license agreement, an operating agreement, and a letter dated May 17, 2022 (the “May 17 letter”). In particular, Xeriant contends that Legacy XTI gained substantial advantages from the intellectual property, expertise, and capital deployed by Xeriant in the design and development of Legacy XTI’s TriFan 600 airplane yet has excluded Xeriant from the transaction involving the TriFan 600 technology in its merger with Legacy Inpixon, which has resulted in a breach of the May 17 letter. Xeriant seeks damages in excess of $500 million, injunctive relief enjoining us from engaging in any further misconduct, the imposition of a royalty obligation, and such other relief as deemed appropriate by the court.
On March 13, 2024, Legacy XTI moved for partial dismissal of the second amended complaint. On January 14, 2025, the Court denied Legacy XTI’s motion to dismiss the complaint. On January 28, 2025, Legacy XTI filed an answer to the second amended complaint. On January 28, 2025, Legacy XTI filed an amended answer and counterclaims against Xeriant. The counterclaims assert that Xeriant (1) breached the joint venture agreement by failing to pay $4,600,000 to fund development of the TriFan 600 technology, and (2) breached its fiduciary duty to XTI by engaging in bad faith, coercion, and self-dealing, including by appropriating material information for its own use and concealing from Legacy XTI the identity of a potential strategic partner. On March 18, 2025, Xeriant moved for dismissal of Legacy XTI’s counterclaims. The case is in its early stages of discovery. Legacy XTI denies the allegations of wrongdoing contained in the second amended complaint and is vigorously defending against the lawsuit.
In connection with the Xeriant Matter, on June 12, 2024, we received a letter from counsel for Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus”), dated April 3, 2024, claiming that, pursuant to the above-referenced May 17 letter by and between Xeriant and Legacy XTI, as a result of the XTI Merger and Legacy XTI’s entry into a promissory note agreement with Legacy Inpixon in March 2023, XTI Aerospace and Legacy XTI may have assumed Xeriant’s obligations under that certain Senior Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $6,050,000 issued by Xeriant to Auctus, including the obligation to repay Auctus all principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereunder, which Auctus claims was $8,435,008.81 as of April 3, 2024. In July 2024, Legacy XTI responded to such letter and indicated that it believes that the May 17 letter is invalid and unenforceable on several bases. It further explained that even if it were valid and enforceable, Legacy XTI does not believe such letter resulted in, or otherwise triggered, the assumption of obligations of Xeriant under the Senior Secured Promissory Note or any other obligation on the part of Legacy XTI. There have been no further developments on this matter. We are unable to make a reasonable estimate of a potential loss, if any, on this matter. To the extent suits or actions are commenced with respect to this matter, we intend to vigorously defend against any and all claims.
On or about August 1, 2024, Chardan Capital Markets LLC (“Chardan”) commenced an arbitration (the “Arbitration”) before FINRA against the Company and its subsidiary, XTI Aircraft Company (“Aircraft”). Aircraft and Chardan are parties to an engagement letter agreement (the “Agreement”). In the Arbitration, Chardan alleges that the Company is bound by the Agreement even though it did not sign the Agreement, which the Company denies. Chardan further alleges that Aircraft and the Company breached the Agreement by not making separate payments to Chardan of $200,000, $94,511, $484,044 and $174,000. Chardan also seeks to recover unspecified amounts relating to an alleged right of first refusal to perform banking services that the Company supposedly did not honor, including with respect to an At-The-Market securities offering that was underwritten by Maxim. The Company and Aircraft deny that Chardan performed its duties under the Agreement and otherwise that Chardan is owed any sums under the Agreement. The Company filed a petition in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking to stay the Arbitration to the extent that it has been asserted against the Company. On or about January 21, 2025, the Court entered a final judgement that: (a) enjoins Chardan from prosecuting the arbitration against the Company and (b) declares that the Company has no contractual or other duty to arbitrate with Chardan. The Aircraft subsidiary remains as a party to the arbitration and intends to defend against the arbitration vigorously. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has accrued $200,000 relating to the Agreement, which is included in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets.
Financial Advisory Fees
Pursuant to the terms of an amended advisory fees agreement between the Company and Maxim, the Company is obligated to pay Maxim $0.2 million which becomes payable upon the closing of one or more debt or equity financings for which Maxim serves as placement agent or underwriter and in which the Company raises minimum aggregate gross proceeds of $10 million. In connection with a capital raise in January 2025, the Company repaid in full its obligation to Maxim (see Note 23).
Agreements with Nadir Ali
As previously disclosed under Note 18, the Company has an outstanding advisory fee obligation to Nadir Ali of $1.5 million, which is payable in $500,000 installments on June 30, 2025, September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2025.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023
At December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. As a result, no additional income or withholding taxes have been provided for. The Company does not anticipate any impacts of the global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) and base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT) and as such, the Company has not recorded any impact associated with either GILTI or BEAT.
In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, deductibility of the Company’s NOL carryover is subject to an annual limitation in the event of a change of control, as defined by the regulations. The Company performed an analysis to determine the annual limitation as a result of the changes in ownership that occurred during 2023 and 2024. Ownership changes occurred during the 2023 and 2024 periods and are limited in their use. The NOL available to offset future taxable income is approximately $96.9 million, subject to Section 382 limitations. The NOL generated in 2017 of $5.3 million, will expire in December 31, 2037 if not utilized. The remaining NOLs generated after 2017 have an indefinite life and do not expire.
As of December 31, 2024, Nanotron GmbH, which was acquired through the merger, had approximately $45.7 million, respectively, of German NOL carryovers available to offset future taxable income. Although these NOLs do not expire, minimum taxation restrictions apply such that only a percentage of taxable income may be offset by NOL carryovers. All of these NOLs are available to the Company as a part of the continuing activity.
As of December 31, 2024 Intranav GmbH, which was acquired through the merger, had approximately $11.3 million of German NOL carryovers available to offset future taxable income. Although these NOLs do not expire, minimum taxation restrictions apply such that only a percentage of taxable income may be offset by NOL carryovers. All of these NOLs are available to the Company as a part of the continuing activity.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers, whether it is “more likely than not”, that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible.
ASC 740, “Income Taxes” requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is “more likely than not” that all, or a portion of, deferred tax assets will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. After consideration of all the information available, management believes that uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of its deferred tax assets with respect to XTI Aerospace, Inc, Nanotron, Intranav GmbH, Inpixon Holding (UK) Limited and has, therefore, established a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the change in valuation allowance was an increase of the valuation allowance of $3.9 million, excluding the recording of Inpixon for the merger.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (federal), Germany, United Kingdom, and in various state jurisdictions in the United States. These filings include discontinued activity periods. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits is to record such interest and penalties as interest expense and as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for interest or penalties for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Management does not expect any material changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.
The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions and, in the normal course of business, its tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future assessments by these taxing authorities. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities beginning with the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Pre-funded Warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance, have an exercise price of $0.001 per share and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in full. The Common Warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance, have an exercise price of $1.36 per share, and expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. As a result of our failure to timely file a Current Report on Form 8-K, upon the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we became ineligible to file new short form registration statements on Form S-3 or to use the Current Shelf Registration Statement. Therefore, we agreed to file a subsequent registration statement covering the issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants and the Common Warrants within the timeframes set forth in such warrants. As of April 11, 2025, 1,126,000 Pre-funded Warrants remained outstanding and unexercised.

ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that as of December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. We have performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, based on criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in its 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.
The Remediation of Material Weakness
Management, with the input, oversight and support of our audit committee, has completed the following steps, which management believes assisted us in remediating the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to Legacy XTI, a private company prior to the XTI Merger, not being previously subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as initially disclosed and further described in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on May 20, 2024.
In 2024, we completed the Legacy XTI subsidiary’s integration into the Company’s established COSO internal control framework and based on the results of our evaluation and testing procedures, we determined Legacy XTI’s internal controls to be effective. As a result, we have concluded that the material weakness related to Legacy XTI has been remediated as of December 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above under “- The Remediation of Material Weakness,” there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of the last fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our Board
Our Board may establish the authorized number of directors from time to time by resolution. The current authorized number of directors is five (5). In accordance with the terms of our bylaws, as amended, our Board is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with members of each class serving staggered three-year terms. Upon the expiration of the term of a class of directors, directors in that class will be eligible to be elected for a new three-year term at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year in which their term expires. The directors are divided among the three classes as follows:
● the Class I directors are Scott Pomeroy and Soumya Das, and their terms will expire at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2027;
● the Class II director is Kareem Irfan, and his term will expire at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2025; and
● the Class III director are Tensie Axton and David Brody and their terms will expire at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2026.
We expect that any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The division of our Board into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control.
We continue to review our corporate governance policies and practices by comparing our policies and practices with those suggested by various groups or authorities active in evaluating or setting best practices for corporate governance of public companies. Based on this review, we have adopted, and will continue to adopt, changes that the Board believes are the appropriate corporate governance policies and practices for our Company.
Our Board held fourteen (14) meetings during 2024. No member of our Board attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board (held during the period for which he or she was a director) and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which such director served (held during the period that such director served). Members of our Board are invited and encouraged to attend our annual meeting of stockholders.
Independence of Directors
In determining the independence of our directors, we apply the definition of “independent director” provided under the listing rules of Nasdaq. Pursuant to these rules, the Board has determined that all of the directors currently serving on the Board are independent within the meaning of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 with the exception of Soumya Das and Scott Pomeroy, who are executive officers.
Committees of our Board
The Board has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee consists of Tensie Axton, David Brody and Kareem Irfan, each of whom is “independent” as defined under section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Mr. Irfan is the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Board has determined that Ms. Axton and Mr. Irfan qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in the rules of the SEC. The Audit Committee met three (3) times during 2024. All members attended more than 75% of such committee meetings. The role of the Audit Committee is to:
● oversee management’s preparation of our financial statements and management’s conduct of the accounting and financial reporting processes;
● oversee management’s maintenance of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting;
● oversee our compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including without limitation, those requirements relating to financial controls and reporting;
● oversee the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence;
● oversee the performance of the independent auditors, including the annual independent audit of our financial statements;
● prepare the report required by the rules of the SEC to be included in our Proxy Statement; and
● discharge such duties and responsibilities as may be required of the Committee by the provisions of applicable law, rule or regulation.
The Audit Committee is authorized to establish procedures to receive, address, monitor, and retain complaints arising out of accounting and auditing matters. As it deems appropriate, the Audit Committee is authorized to engage outside auditors, counsel, or other experts. A copy of the charter of the Audit Committee is available on our website at http://www.xtiaerospace.com (under “Investors/Governance/Governance Documents”).
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee consists of David Brody, Tensie Axton and Kareem Irfan, each of whom is “independent” as defined in section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Mr. Brody is the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee met three (3) times during 2024. All members attended 75% or more of such committee meetings. The role of the Compensation Committee is to:
● develop and recommend to the independent directors of the Board the annual compensation (base salary, bonus, stock options and other benefits) for our directors and officers;
● review, approve and recommend to the independent directors of the Board the annual compensation (base salary, bonus and other benefits) for all of our Executive Officers (as used in Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and defined in Rule 16a-1 thereunder);
● review, approve and recommend to the Board the annual profit-sharing contribution, aggregate number of equity grants and other benefits to be granted to all other employees;
● review, the management’s succession planning process in consultation with CEO, and provide report to the Board on Company’s leadership succession planning for the CEO and other executive officers, on annual basis; and
● ensure that a significant portion of executive compensation is reasonably related to the long-term interest of our stockholders.
A copy of the charter of the Compensation Committee is available on our website at http://www.xtiaerospace.com (under “Investors/Governance/Governance Documents”).
The Compensation Committee may form and delegate a subcommittee consisting of one or more members to perform the functions of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may engage outside advisers, including outside auditors, attorneys and consultants, as it deems necessary to discharge its responsibilities. The Compensation Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate any compensation expert or consultant to be used to provide advice on compensation levels or assist in the evaluation of director, President/Chief Executive Officer or senior executive compensation, including sole authority to approve the fees of any expert or consultant and other retention terms. In addition, the Compensation Committee considers, but is not bound by, the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer with respect to the compensation packages of our other executive officers.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, or the “Governance Committee,” consists of Tensie Axton and David Brody, each of whom is “independent” as defined in section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Ms. Axton is the Chairman of the Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met one (1) time during 2024. The role of the Governance Committee is to:

A copy of the charter of the Governance Committee is available on our website at http://www.xtiaerospace.com (under “Investors/Governance/Governance Documents”).
Stockholder Communications
Stockholders may communicate with the members of the Board, either individually or collectively, by writing to the Board at 8123 InterPort Blvd., Suite C, Englewood, CO 80112. These communications will be reviewed by the Secretary as agent for the non-employee directors in facilitating direct communication to the Board. The Secretary will treat communications containing complaints relating to accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters as reports under our Whistleblower Policy. Further, the Secretary will disregard communications that are bulk mail, solicitations to purchase products or services not directly related either to us or the non-employee directors’ roles as members of the Board, sent other than by stockholders in their capacities as such or from particular authors or regarding particular subjects that the non-employee directors may specify from time to time, and all other communications which do not meet the applicable requirements or criteria described below, consistent with the instructions of the non-employee directors.
General Communications. The Secretary will summarize all stockholder communications directly relating to our business operations, the Board, our officers, our activities or other matters and opportunities closely related to us. This summary and copies of the actual stockholder communications will then be circulated to the Chairman of the Governance Committee.
Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations and Recommendations. Stockholder proposals are reviewed by the Secretary for compliance with the requirements for such proposals set forth in our Bylaws and in Regulation 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Stockholder proposals that meet these requirements will be summarized by the Secretary. Summaries and copies of the stockholder proposals are circulated to the Chairman of the Governance Committee.
Stockholder nominations for directors are reviewed and summarized by the Secretary and are then circulated to the Chairman of the Governance Committee.
The Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. If a director candidate is recommended by a stockholder, the Governance Committee expects to evaluate such candidate in the same manner it evaluates director candidates it identifies. Stockholders desiring to make a recommendation to the Governance Committee should follow the procedures set forth above regarding stockholder nominations for directors.
In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our Bylaws, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act (the “universal proxy rules”). The requirements under the universal proxy rules are in addition to the applicable procedural requirements under our Bylaws described above.
Retention of Stockholder Communications. Any stockholder communications which are not circulated to the Chairman of the Governance Committee because they do not meet the applicable requirements or criteria described above will be retained by the Secretary for at least ninety calendar days from the date on which they are received, so that these communications may be reviewed by the directors generally if such information relates to the Board as a whole, or by any individual to whom the communication was addressed, should any director elect to do so.
Distribution of Stockholder Communications. Except as otherwise required by law or upon the request of a non-employee director, the Chairman of the Governance Committee will determine when and whether a stockholder communication should be circulated among one or more members of the Board and/or Company management.
Director Qualifications and Diversity
The Board seeks independent directors who represent a diversity of backgrounds and experiences that will enhance the quality of the Board’s deliberations and decisions. The Board is particularly interested in maintaining a mix that includes individuals who are active or retired executive officers and senior executives, particularly those with experience in technology; research and development; finance, accounting and banking; or marketing and sales.
There is no difference in the manner in which the Governance Committee evaluates nominees for directors based on whether the nominee is recommended by a stockholder. In evaluating nominations to the Board, the Governance Committee also looks for depth and breadth of experience within the Company’s industry and otherwise, outside time commitments, special areas of expertise, accounting and finance knowledge, business judgment, leadership ability, experience in developing and assessing business strategies, corporate governance expertise, and for incumbent members of the Board, the past performance of the incumbent director. Each of the candidates nominated for election to our Board at our last annual meeting of stockholders was recommended by the Governance Committee.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
The Board has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics (the “Code”) designed, in part, to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with or submits to the SEC and in the Company’s other public communications, compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, the prompt internal reporting of Code violations to an appropriate person or persons, as identified in the Code and accountability for adherence to the Code. The Code applies to all directors, executive officers and employees of the Company. The Code is periodically reviewed by the Board. In the event we determine to amend or waive certain provisions of the Code, we intend to disclose such amendments or waivers on our website at http://www.xtiaerospace.com under the heading “Investors” within four business days following such amendment or waiver or as otherwise required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
Insider Trading Policy
We have an insider trading policy (which was adopted by the Board in November 2015 and updated as of August 2020) that governs the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by our directors, officers and employees. We believe that our insider trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and Nasdaq listing standards. Our insider trading policy, among other things, prohibits directors, executive officers and members of our executive and operations teams (collectively, “Covered Persons”) from holding our securities in a margin account, pledging our securities as collateral for a loan, or engaging in short selling or similar hedging activities involving our securities. A copy of our insider trading policy is filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report.
Risk Oversight
Our Board provides risk oversight for our entire company by receiving management presentations, including risk assessments, and discussing these assessments with management. The Board’s overall risk oversight, which focuses primarily on risks and exposures associated with current matters that may present material risk to our operations, plans, prospects or reputation, is supplemented by the various committees. The Audit Committee discusses with management and our independent registered public accounting firm our risk management guidelines and policies, our major financial risk exposures and the steps taken to monitor and control such exposures. Our Compensation Committee oversees risks related to our compensation programs and discusses with management its annual assessment of our employee compensation policies and programs. Our Governance Committee oversees risks related to corporate governance and management and director succession planning.
Board Leadership Structure
Our Board does not have a policy regarding the separation of the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, as our Board believes it is in the best interest of the Company to make that determination based on the position and direction of the Company and the membership of the Board.
Our Board has determined that having an employee director serve as Chairman is in the best interest of our stockholders at this time because of the efficiencies achieved in having the role of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman combined, and because the detailed knowledge of our day-to-day operations and business that the Chief Executive Officer possesses greatly enhances the decision-making processes of our board of directors as a whole.
The Chairman of the Board and the other members of the Board work in concert to provide oversight of our management and affairs. Our Board encourages communication among its members and between management and the Board to facilitate productive working relationships. Working with the other members of the Board, our Chairman also strives to ensure that there is an appropriate balance and focus among key board responsibilities such as strategic development, review of operations and risk oversight.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of ours. Directors, executive officers and greater than 10% holders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of Forms 3 and 4 filed during 2024 (and any written representations to us by such persons), we believe that all directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during 2024, with the exception of one Form 4 filed late by Nadir Ali on March 14, 2024 reporting one transaction dated December 19, 2023.

Completed Transaction Bonus Plan
On March 14, 2023, the Company completed a reorganization involving the transfer of the Company’s CXApp and enterprise app business lines to CXApp Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Legacy CXApp”), followed by a distribution of shares of Legacy CXApp to the Company’s equityholders. The reorganization was followed by a subsequent business combination transaction (the “CXApp Merger”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 25, 2022, by and among the Company, Legacy CXApp, KINS Technology Group Inc., a special purpose acquisition company (“KINS”) which was renamed CXApp, Inc. upon the consummation of the CXApp Merger, and KINS Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of KINS, pursuant to which KINS Merger Sub Inc. merged with and into Legacy CXApp, with Legacy CXApp continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CXApp, Inc. (such reorganization and business combination, collectively, the “Completed Transaction”).
On July 24, 2023, the Compensation Committee adopted a Transaction Bonus Plan (the “Completed Transaction Bonus Plan”), which was intended to compensate certain current and former employees and service providers for the successful consummation of the Completed Transaction. The Completed Transaction Bonus Plan was administered by the Compensation Committee. It terminated upon the completion of all payments under the terms of the Completed Transaction Bonus Plan.
Pursuant to the Completed Transaction Bonus Plan, in connection with the Completed Transaction:
● Participants listed on Schedule 1 of the Completed Transaction Bonus Plan were eligible for a cash bonus equal to 100% of their aggregate annual base salary in effect as of the end of the year ended December 31, 2022, provided that the participants were required to execute a customary release of claims and confidentiality agreement.
● Participants listed on Schedule 2 of the Completed Transaction Bonus Plan, including our named executive officers Nadir Ali and Wendy Loundermon, were eligible for a cash bonus in an aggregate amount of 4% of the $70,350,000 transaction value of the Completed Transaction, with Mr. Ali and Ms. Loundermon being entitled to 3.5% and 0.5% of such transaction value, respectively.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company paid approximately $3.5 million to Company management and former management under the Completed Transaction Bonus Plan. No amounts were owed under the Completed Transaction Bonus Plan as of September 30, 2023.
In addition, if a participant was entitled to any payments or benefits from the Completed Transaction Bonus Plan or any other amounts (collectively, the “Company Payments Relating to the Completed Transaction Plan”) that are subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Excise Tax”), the Company agreed to pay the participant the greater of the following amounts: (i) the Company Payments Relating to the Completed Transaction Plan, or (ii) one dollar less than the amount of the Company Payments Relating to the Completed Transaction Plan that would subject the participant to the Excise Tax, as mutually agreed between the Company and the participant.
Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan
On July 24, 2023, the Compensation Committee adopted a Transaction Bonus Plan, which was amended on March 11, 2024 (as amended, the “Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan,” and such amendment, the “Plan Amendment”), and is intended to provide incentives to certain employees and other service providers to remain with the Company through the consummation of a Contemplated Transaction or Qualifying Transaction (each as defined below) and to maximize the value of the Company with respect to such transaction for the benefit of its stockholders. The Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. It will automatically terminate upon the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the adoption date, (ii) the completion of all payments under the terms of the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan, or (iii) at any time by the Compensation Committee, provided, however, that the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan may not be amended or terminated following the consummation of a Contemplated Transaction or Qualifying Transaction without the consent of each participant being affected, except as required by any applicable law.
A “Contemplated Transaction” refers to a strategic alternative transaction including an asset sale, merger, reorganization, spin-off or similar transaction (a “Strategic Transaction”) that results in a change of control as defined in the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan. A Qualifying Transaction refers to a Strategic Transaction that does not result in a change of control for which bonuses may be paid pursuant to the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan as approved by the Compensation Committee. The XTI Merger qualifies as a Contemplated Transaction.
The Plan Amendment, among other things, changed the timing of and imposed certain additional conditions on the payment of certain bonuses to be paid to the participants thereunder, including Nadir Ali, Wendy Loundermon and Soumya Das.
Pursuant to the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan, in connection with the closing of a Contemplated Transaction or a Qualifying Transaction, the participants will be eligible to receive bonuses as described below.
● Participants listed on Schedule 1 of the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan, including Nadir Ali, Wendy Loundermon, Soumya Das and certain other employees, are eligible for a cash bonus equal to 100% of their aggregate annual base salary and target bonus amount in effect as of the closing of the Contemplated Transaction or a Qualifying Transaction, provided, however, that the Company’s payment of such bonus to a participant may, in the Company’s discretion, be conditioned on the participant’s timely execution and delivery of a customary release of claims and confidentiality agreement and such participant’s non-revocation of the release prior to the expiration of any revocation rights afforded to such participant by applicable law. These bonus amounts will generally be paid at the closing of each applicable transaction, except that bonus amounts in connection with the closing of the XTI Merger are payable according to the payment schedule set forth in the Plan Amendment and described below.
● Participants listed on Schedule 2 of the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan, including Nadir Ali and Wendy Loundermon, are eligible for a cash bonus based on the Transaction Value (as defined below) attributed to the Contemplated Transaction or Qualifying Transaction, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan. Mr. Ali is eligible for 3.5% of such Transaction Value less $6.0 million. Ms. Loundermon is eligible for 0.5% of such Transaction Value less $0.5 million. These bonus amounts will generally be paid at the closing of each applicable transaction subject to the treatment of deferred payments in accordance with the terms of the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan, except that bonus amounts in connection with the closing of the XTI Merger are payable according to the payment schedule set forth in the Plan Amendment and described below. “Transaction Value” means the sum of any cash and the fair market value of any securities or other assets or property received by the Company or available for distribution to the holders of the Company’s equity securities in connection with the applicable transaction as provided for in the definitive agreement governing the applicable transaction, or such value as will be designated by the Compensation Committee. The Transaction Value applicable to the XTI Merger was assessed at $225 million which was determined by the Compensation Committee in part based on the enterprise value of Legacy XTI following a valuation analysis performed by an independent financial advisory firm.
● Participants listed on Schedule 3 of the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan will be eligible for equity-based grants, including but not limited to, options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, or such other rights to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the closing of the Contemplated Transaction or a Qualifying Transaction, in such form and for such amounts as set forth on Schedule 3 or, if no such form or amount is specified for a participant on Schedule3, in such form and for such amounts that may be approved by the Compensation Committee in its sole and absolute discretion.
Schedule 3 of the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan provides that:
(i) Nadir Ali will receive an award (the “Award”) of fully vested shares of Company common stock issued under the Company’s 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan or any successor equity incentive plan adopted by the Company (the “Equity Plan”) on the date that is three (3) months following the closing of the XTI Merger (the “Grant Date”) covering a number of shares having a fair market value (based on the closing price per share on the Grant Date) equal to $1,023,600. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Nadir Ali will not be eligible to receive the Award if his Consulting Agreement with the Company dated as of March 12, 2024 (the “Ali Consulting Agreement”), terminates before the Grant Date due to (a) Company Good Reason (as defined in the Ali Consulting Agreement) or (b) termination by Nadir Ali for any reason other than Consultant Good Reason (as defined in the Ali Consulting Agreement).
(ii) Any amounts payable to any participant in cash pursuant to the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan, may be paid in shares under the Equity Plan upon written agreement of the Company and such participant.
The Plan Amendment provides that any amounts payable to a participant in connection with the closing of the XTI Merger are payable as follows:
(1) The first fifty percent (50%) of any amounts payable in connection with the XTI Merger pursuant to Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan for each participant, as applicable (the “First Fifty Percent”), will become earned upon the earlier of closing of a financing (whether a registered offering or private unregistered offering) in which the Company sells Qualifying Securities (as defined below) and receives an amount of gross proceeds that when added to the proceeds of previous sales of Qualifying Securities following the closing of the XTI Merger equals $5 million (the “First Financing”) or June 30, 2024 (the “Earned Date”). “Qualifying Securities” means any debt or equity securities other than debt or equity securities having a maturity date or a redemption right at the option of the holder of fewer than six (6) months following the issuance of that security.
(2) The remaining fifty percent (50%) of any amounts payable pursuant to Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan (the “Remaining Fifty Percent”) will be earned upon the earlier of the closing of a subsequent financing in which the Company receives an amount of gross proceeds that when added to the proceeds of previous sales of Qualifying Securities following the First Financing aggregates to at least $5 million (“Subsequent Financing”) or the Earned Date.
(3) Following the Earned Date, the First Fifty Percent (50%) will be paid in three (3) equal monthly installments, beginning on July 1, 2024, and on the first day of each month thereafter until the First Fifty Percent is paid in full. The Remaining Fifty Percent (50%) will be paid in three (3) equal monthly installments, beginning October 1, 2024 and on the first day of each month thereafter until the Remaining Fifty Percent (50%) is paid in full.
(4) A participant’s right to receive payment of the First Fifty Percent (50%) or the Second Fifty Percent (50%) is subject to the participant’s continuing employment or other service with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates until the date on which the payment is earned (as specified in clause (1) or (2) above); provided, however, that if a participant’s employment or service with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates terminates before the applicable payment is earned due to the involuntary termination of the participant other than for Cause, such participant will be deemed for this purpose to continue in employment or service with the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates following the participant’s termination date until the date the applicable payment is earned.
(5) In the event the Company is unable to raise a minimum of $5 million from the sale of Qualifying Securities as of June 30, 2024, the participants designate and appoint Nadir Ali as the “Participant Representative” to work with the Company as necessary to amend the payment schedule set forth above to ensure that the Company will have sufficient cash to support its operations. If Nadir Ali cannot or refuses to serve the Participant Representative, then the Participant Representative will be selected by the Company from among the other participants entitled to receive any payment pursuant to Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 of the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan.
(6) If the Company or Legacy XTI pays cash bonuses related to the closing of the XTI Merger to the Company’s or Legacy XTI’s employees or individual service providers who are not participants (“Non-Plan Transaction Bonuses”), any then-unpaid payments to participants pursuant to the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan will be paid on an accelerated basis pursuant to a payment schedule that is substantially similar to the bonus payment schedule for the Non-Plan Transaction Bonuses. Conversely, if the Company agrees to an accelerated payment or more favorable payment terms of amounts payable pursuant to the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan, all recipients of Non-Plan Transaction Bonuses will receive similar treatment.
In connection with the Plan Amendment, the Compensation Committee also adopted a new form of confidentiality and release agreement, which was executed and delivered by the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan participants who resigned from their Company positions at the closing of the XTI Merger on March 12, 2024, including Mr. Ali and Ms. Loundermon. In addition, on March 12, 2024, the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan participants who retained their employment with the Company following the closing of the XTI Merger, including Mr. Das, delivered an acknowledgment agreement to the Company irrevocably waiving and releasing the Company from any and all rights to payment of such individual’s payments under Schedule 1 of the Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan except pursuant to and as provided under the terms of the Plan Amendment.
The Company recognized the $6.3 million expense of the strategic transaction bonus as it became payable during the second quarter of 2024. During the third and fourth quarter of 2024, we paid $2.0 million of the strategic transaction bonus, with the remaining $4.3 million of the strategic transaction bonus payable as of December 31, 2024. From January 1, 2025 through the date of this filing, the Company repaid the remaining $4.3 million strategic transaction bonus obligation.
Employee Stock Incentive Plans
2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan
The following is a summary of the material terms of our 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended to date (the “2018 Plan”). This description is not complete. For more information, we refer you to the full text of the 2018 Plan.
The 2018 Plan is an important part of our compensation program. It promotes financial saving for the future by our employees, fosters good employee relations, and encourages employees to acquire shares of our Common Stock, thereby better aligning their interests with those of the other stockholders. Therefore, the Board believes it is essential to our ability to attract, retain, and motivate highly qualified employees in an extremely competitive environment both in the United States and internationally.
Amount of Shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of our Common Stock available for issuance under the 2018 Plan automatically increases on the first day of each quarter through October 1, 2028, by a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the least of (i) 3,000,000 shares, (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, or (iii) such number of shares that may be determined by the Board. The amount of shares available for issuance is not adjusted in connection with a change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations or liquidations; provided; however, that (i) the amount of shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan may not exceed the maximum amount of authorized shares available for issuance under the Articles of Incorporation and (ii) in no event will the Company issue more than 120,000,000 shares of Common Stock under the 2018 Plan, including the maximum amount of shares of Common Stock that may be added to the 2018 Plan in accordance with the automatic quarterly increases. As the date of this filing, there are approximately 73 million shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2018 Plan.
Types of Awards. The 2018 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”), stock grants and other stock-based awards, including Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units (as defined in the 2018 Plan).
● Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Options. The plan administrator determines the exercise price of each stock option. The exercise price of an NQSO may not be less than the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of an incentive stock option may not be less than the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant if the recipient holds 10% or less of the combined voting power of our securities, or 110% of the fair market value of a share of our Common Stock on the date of grant otherwise.
● Stock Grants. The plan administrator may grant or sell stock, including restricted stock, to any participant, which purchase price, if any, may not be less than the par value of shares of our Common Stock. The stock grant will be subject to the conditions and restrictions determined by the administrator. The recipient of a stock grant shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of stock issued to the holder under the 2018 Plan.
● Stock-Based Awards. The plan administrator of the 2018 Plan may grant other stock-based awards, including stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, with terms approved by the administrator, including restrictions related to the awards. The holder of a stock-based award shall not have the rights of a stockholder except to the extent permitted in the applicable agreement.
Plan Administration. Our Board is the administrator of the 2018 Plan, except to the extent it delegates its authority to a committee, in which case the committee shall be the administrator. Our Board has delegated this authority to our compensation committee. The administrator has the authority to determine the terms of awards, including exercise and purchase price, the number of shares subject to awards, the value of our Common Stock, the vesting schedule applicable to awards, the form of consideration, if any, payable upon exercise or settlement of an award and the terms of award agreements for use under the 2018 Plan.
Eligibility. The plan administrator will determine the participants in the 2018 Plan from among our employees, directors and consultants. A grant may be approved in advance with the effectiveness of the grant contingent and effective upon such person’s commencement of service within a specified period.
Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the administrator or in an award agreement, upon a termination of a participant’s service, all unvested options then held by the participant will terminate and all other unvested awards will be forfeited
Transferability. Awards under the 2018 Plan may not be transferred except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, unless otherwise provided by the plan administrator in its discretion and set forth in the applicable agreement, provided that no award may be transferred for value.
Adjustment. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or reorganization or other change in change in capital structure, the plan administrator will make appropriate adjustments to the number and kind of shares of stock or securities subject to awards.
Corporate Transaction. If we are acquired, the plan administrator will: (i) arrange for the surviving entity or acquiring entity (or the surviving or acquiring entity’s parent company) to assume or continue the award or to substitute a similar award for the award; (ii) cancel or arrange for cancellation of the award, to the extent not vested or not exercised prior to the effective time of the transaction, in exchange for such cash consideration, if any, as the plan administrator in its sole discretion, may consider appropriate; or (iii) make a payment, in such form as may be determined by the plan administrator equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the value of the property the holder would have received upon the exercise of the award immediately prior to the effective time of the transaction, over (B) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with such exercise. In addition in connection with such transaction, the plan administrator may accelerate the vesting, in whole or in part, of the award (and, if applicable, the time at which the award may be exercised) to a date prior to the effective time of such transaction and may arrange for the lapse, in whole or in part, of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by us with respect to an award.
Amendment and Termination. The 2018 Plan will terminate on January 4, 2028 or at an earlier date by vote of our Board; provided, however, that any such earlier termination shall not affect any awards granted under the 2018 Plan prior to the date of such termination. The 2018 Plan may be amended by our Board, except that our Board may not alter the terms of the 2018 Plan if it would adversely affect a participant’s rights under an outstanding stock right without the participant’s consent.
The Board may at any time amend or terminate the 2018 Plan; provided that no amendment may be made without the approval of the stockholder if such amendment would increase either the maximum number of shares which may be granted under the 2018 Plan or any specified limit on any particular type or types of award, or change the class of employees to whom an award may be granted, or withdraw the authority to administer the 2018 Plan from a committee whose members satisfy the independence and other requirements of Section 162(m) and applicable SEC and Nasdaq requirements. Pursuant to the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, certain other material revisions to the 2018 Plan may also require stockholder approval.
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the 2018 Plan. The federal income tax consequences of grants under the 2018 Plan will depend on the type of grant. The following is a general summary of the principal United States federal income taxation consequences to participants and us under current law with respect to participation in the 2018 Plan. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not discuss the income tax laws of any city, state or foreign jurisdiction in which a participant may reside or the rules applicable to deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code. Our ability to realize the benefit of any tax deductions described below depends on our generation of taxable income as well as the requirement of reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code and the satisfaction of our tax reporting obligations.
From the grantees’ standpoint, as a general rule, ordinary income will be recognized at the time of delivery of shares of our Common Stock or payment of cash under the 2018 Plan. Future appreciation on shares of our Common Stock held beyond the ordinary income recognition event will be taxable as capital gain when the shares of our Common Stock are sold. The tax rate applicable to capital gain will depend upon how long the grantee holds the shares. We, as a general rule, will be entitled to a tax deduction that corresponds in time and amount to the ordinary income recognized by the grantee, and we will not be entitled to any tax deduction with respect to capital gain income recognized by the grantee.
Exceptions to these general rules arise under the following circumstances:
● If shares of our Common Stock, when delivered, are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture by reason of any employment or performance-related condition, ordinary income taxation and our tax deduction will be delayed until the risk of forfeiture lapses, unless the grantee makes a special election to accelerate taxation under section 83(b) of the Code.
● If an employee exercises a stock option that qualifies as an ISO, no ordinary income will be recognized, and we will not be entitled to any tax deduction, if shares of our Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the stock option are held until the later of (A) one year from the date of exercise and (B) two years from the date of grant. However, if the employee disposes of the shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO before satisfying both holding period requirements, the employee will recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise (or the amount realized on the disposition, if less) and the exercise price, and we will be entitled to a tax deduction in that amount. The gain, if any, in excess of the amount recognized as ordinary income will be long-term or short-term capital gain, depending upon the length of time the employee held the shares before the disposition.
● A grant may be subject to a 20% tax, in addition to ordinary income tax, at the time the grant becomes vested, plus interest, if the grant constitutes deferred compensation under section 409A of the Code and the requirements of section 409A of the Code are not satisfied.
Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a publicly held corporation’s tax deduction for compensation paid to its chief executive officer or certain other officers in excess of $1 million in any year. Qualified performance-based compensation is excluded from the $1 million deductibility limit, and therefore remains fully deductible by the corporation that pays it. Stock units, stock awards, dividend equivalents, and other stock-based awards granted under the 2018 Plan may be designated as qualified performance-based compensation if the Committee conditions such grants on the achievement of specific performance goals in accordance with the requirements of section 162(m) of the Code.
We have the right to require that grantees pay to us an amount necessary for us to satisfy our federal, state or local tax withholding obligations with respect to grants. We may withhold from other amounts payable to a grantee an amount necessary to satisfy these obligations. The Committee may permit a grantee to satisfy our withholding obligation with respect to grants paid in shares of our Common Stock by having shares withheld, at the time the grants become taxable, provided that the number of shares withheld does not exceed the individual’s minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal, state and local tax liabilities.
Employee Stock Incentive Plan
Except as set forth below, the material terms of our 2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended to date (the “2011 Plan”) are substantially similar to the material terms of the 2018 Plan. However, this description is not complete. For more information, we refer you to the full text of the 2011 Plan.
The 2011 Plan was intended to encourage ownership of Common Stock by our employees and directors and certain of our consultants in order to attract and retain such people, to induce them to work for the benefit of us and to provide additional incentive for them to promote our success. The 2011 Plan (but not awards granted under the 2011 Plan) terminated in accordance with its terms on August 31, 2021 and no new awards will be issued under the 2011 Plan.
Employee and Consultant Stock Ownership Plan
During 2017, Legacy XTI adopted the 2017 Employee and Consultant Stock Ownership Plan (as amended, “2017 Plan”), which was amended in 2021 to increase the maximum shares eligible to be granted under the 2017 Plan. The Company assumed the 2017 Plan in connection with the XTI Merger. The Company may issue awards in the form of restricted stock units and stock options to employees, directors, and consultants. Under the 2017 Plan, stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Board on the date of grant. Options generally have contractual terms of ten years. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees, whereas all other stock awards may be granted to employees, directors and consultants.

Policies and Practices for Granting Certain Equity Awards
Our policies and practices regarding the granting of equity awards are carefully designed to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws and to maintain the integrity of our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee is responsible for the timing and terms of equity awards to executives and other eligible employees and for reviewing, and recommending to the Board for approval, all director compensation.
The timing of equity award grants is determined with consideration to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the achievement of pre-established performance targets, market conditions and internal milestones. We may also grant equity awards to individuals upon hire, determined on a case-by-case basis. The Company does not follow a predetermined schedule for the granting of equity awards; instead, each grant is considered on a case-by-case basis to align with the Company’s strategic objectives and to ensure the competitiveness of our compensation packages, provided that the Company grants its non-employee directors stock options annually pursuant to our non-employee director compensation policy adopted in May 2024 (see “- Director Compensation” for more information).
In determining the timing and terms of an equity award, the Board or the Compensation Committee may consider material nonpublic information to ensure that such grants are made in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board’s or the Compensation Committee’s procedures to prevent the improper use of material nonpublic information in connection with the granting of equity awards include oversight by legal counsel and, where appropriate, delaying the grant of equity awards until the public disclosure of such material nonpublic information.
The Company is committed to maintaining transparency in its executive compensation practices and to making equity awards in a manner that is not influenced by the timing of the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. The Company regularly reviews its policies and practices related to equity awards to ensure they meet the evolving standards of corporate governance and continue to serve the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
The following table presents information regarding stock options issued to the Named Executive Officers during the year ended December 31, 2024 during any period beginning four business days before the filing of a periodic report on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, or the filing or furnishing of a current report on Form 8-K that discloses material nonpublic information (other than a Form 8-K disclosing a new material option award) and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such report with the SEC. On June 12, 2024, the Company granted options to the Named Executive Officers. On June 14, 2024, the Company filed a current report on Form 8-K disclosing material non-public information.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
ITEM 13: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons.
The Board reviews issues involving potential conflicts of interest, and reviews and approves all related party transactions, including those required to be disclosed as a “related party” transaction under applicable federal securities laws. The Board has not adopted any specific procedures for conducting reviews of potential conflicts of interest and considers each transaction in light of the specific facts and circumstances presented. However, to the extent a potential related party transaction is presented to the Board, the Company expects that the Board would become fully informed regarding the potential transaction and the interests of the related party, and would have the opportunity to deliberate outside of the presence of the related party. The Company expects that the Board would only approve a related party transaction that was in the best interests of the Company, and further would seek to ensure that any completed related party transaction was on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained in a transaction with an unaffiliated third party. Other than as described below, no transaction requiring disclosure under applicable federal securities laws occurred since fiscal year 2023 that was submitted to the Board for approval as a “related party” transaction.
Related Party Transactions
SEC regulations define the related person transactions that require disclosure to include any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years in which we were or are to be a participant and in which a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A related person is: (i) an executive officer, director or director nominee, (ii) a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Common Stock, (iii) an immediate family member of an executive officer, director or director nominee or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Common Stock, or (iv) any entity that is owned or controlled by any of the foregoing persons or in which any of the foregoing persons has a substantial ownership interest or control.
For the period from January 1, 2023, through the date of this report, described below are certain transactions or series of transactions between us and certain related persons.
