**CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K (this Report) contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations
and projections about future events. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this Report, regarding
our future financial performance and our strategy, expansion plans, market opportunity, future operations, future operating results,
estimated revenues, losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. In some cases,
you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, should, could, would,
will, expect, plan, anticipate, intend, believe,
estimate, continue, project or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions, but
the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are subject to known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which
are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report. We caution
you that the forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult
to predict and many of which are beyond our control.
Therefore,
actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements
due to numerous factors discussed from time to time in this Report, including the risks described under *Item 1A Risk Factors*,
and *Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations* of this Report
and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In addition, such statements could
be affected by risks and uncertainties related to:
| 
| 
| 
the
ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations and identify and realize additional opportunities; | |
| 
| 
| 
our
history of operating losses, and our results of operations and financial condition; | |
| 
| 
| 
our
ability to attain the significant amount of additional financing we need to fund our operations, AI data center focused interests
and projects, and expansion plans on favorable terms or at all, and the availability of future financing; | |
| 
| 
| 
our
ability to complete the proposed merger and related transactions described under Item 1 Business Recent Events
Potential Sale of Aviation Business Assets, or to identify and execute upon another strategic transaction or alternative
to maximize value for our stakeholders; | |
| 
| 
| 
our
ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed merger and related transactions; | |
| 
| 
| 
our
ability to identify, fund and execute upon opportunities in the AI data center sector, and compete with a variety of competitors
in that sector many of whom possess significantly greater financial resources, established customer relationships, operational scale,
and technical expertise than the Company who is a new entrant into that sector; | |
| 
| 
| 
the
generally limited liquidity and trading of our common stock and price volatility; | |
| 
| 
| 
the
outcome of any legal proceedings; | |
| 
| 
| 
the
ability to maintain the listing of our securities on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) or any other national securities
exchange; | |
| 
| 
| 
that
the price of our common stock is volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and regulated industries
in which we operate (or seek to operate), variations in operating performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations
affecting our business and any changes in our capital structure; | |
| 
| 
| 
the
risks related to our ability to identify and execute on outside sources of funding necessary to fund our operations and business
plan, and the potential dilution that our stockholders may be subject to; | |
| 
| 
| 
the
risk of downturns in the aviation industry; | |
| 
| 
| 
a
changing regulatory landscape in the aviation industry and the AI and data center sectors; | |
| 
| 
| 
our
ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, including our officers, directors, and key employees; | |
| 
| 
| 
data
security breaches, cyber attacks, or other network outages; | |
| 
| 
| 
our
ability to adequately protect our intellectual property interests; | |
| 
| 
| 
our
reliance on third parties and joint venture partners; | |
| 
| 
| 
risks
associated with the overall economy, including interest rate volatility, prospective, and the potential for recession; and | |
| 
| 
| 
other
risks and uncertainties set forth under the section of this Report entitled Item 1A Risk Factors. | |
Should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results
may vary in material respects from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only
as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation
and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise,
except as required by applicable law.

**SUMMARY
OF RISK FACTORS**
Our
business is subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware. These risks are discussed more fully in the *Risk Factors*
section of this Report. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
| 
| 
| 
We
may not have enough funds to sustain our business until we become profitable and may not be able to obtain additional capital when
desired, on favorable terms or at all. If we are unsuccessful in securing additional sources of capital, we may not be able to continue
as a going concern. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
are an early-stage company with a limited operating history. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategies. | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
operating results have been, and are expected to continue to be, difficult to predict based on a number of factors that also will
affect our long-term performance. | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
business and reputation rely on, and will continue to rely on, third parties. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
rely on third-party Internet, mobile, and other products and services to deliver our mobile and web applications and flight management
system offerings to customers, and any disruption of, or interference with, our use of those services could adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations, and customers. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
rely on third parties maintaining open marketplaces to distribute our mobile and web applications. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property interests or may be found infringing on the intellectual property interests
of others. | |
| 
| 
| 
A
delay or failure to identify and devise, invest in and implement certain important technology, business, and other initiatives could
have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
are dependent on our information systems which may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks or other events. | |
| 
| 
| 
Because
our software could be used to collect and store personal information, privacy concerns in the territories in which we operate could
result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our software. | |
| 
| 
| 
Changes
to applicable tax laws and regulations or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our business and future profitability. | |
| 
| 
| 
In
the event that our business expands domestically or internationally, including to jurisdictions in which tax laws may not be favorable,
our obligations may change or fluctuate, become significantly more complex or become subject to greater risk of examination by taxing
authorities, any of which could adversely affect our after-tax profitability and financial results. | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
ability to utilize our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain
limitations. | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
primary assets include our direct and indirect interests in our subsidiaries and, accordingly, we are dependent upon distributions
from our subsidiaries to pay taxes and cover our corporate and other overhead expenses. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
have made a significant investment in the sponsor of a blank check company commonly referred to as a special purpose acquisition
company (SPAC) and will suffer the loss of all of our investment if the SPAC does not complete an acquisition by April
6, 2027. | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
use of fair value accounting of our indirect investment in AI Infrastructure Acquisition could result in income statement volatility,
which in turn, could cause significant market price and trading volume fluctuations for our common stock. | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in the future could harm our business. | |
| 
| 
| 
Demand
for our aviation services may decline due to factors beyond our control. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
face a high level of competition with numerous market participants with greater financial resources and operating experience. | |
| 
| 
| 
The
operation of aircraft is subject to various risks, and failure to maintain an acceptable safety record may have an adverse impact
on our ability to obtain and retain customers. | |
| 
| 
| 
If
efforts to continue to build a strong brand identity and improve member satisfaction and loyalty are not successful, we may not be
able to attract or retain members, and our operating results may be adversely affected. | |
| 
| 
| 
Any
failure to offer high-quality customer support may harm our relationships with our customers and could adversely affect our reputation,
brand, business, financial condition and results of operations. | |
| 
| 
| 
Changes
in laws or regulations affecting the aviation industry, or a failure to comply with any such laws or regulations, may adversely affect
our business, investments and results of operations. | |
| 
| 
| 
The
proposed Transactions with flyExclusive may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all. | |
| 
| 
| 
In
the proposed Transactions with flyExclusive, we will divest substantially all of our fractional and jet card business and related
assets, together with associated working capital, and thereafter focus on business strategy that focuses on expanding our AI data-center
operations. Any or all of these decisions if incorrect may have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations, financial
position and cash flows, and pose further risks to the successful operation of our business over the short and long-term. | |
| | iii | | |
| | |
| 
| 
| 
The
AI data center sector in which we expect to primarily focus after the Transactions is subject to significant risks, including rapid
growth and volatility, capital requirements, dependence on rapidly changing underling technologies, market and political risks and
uncertainties and extreme competition. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to anticipate or overcome any or all of these risks
and uncertainties, especially as a small company operating in an environment that includes many large, well-capitalized competitors
with substantially more resources. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of the Transactions, and the Transactions may adversely impact our business. | |
| 
| 
| 
Particularly
after the Transactions, our success will be dependent on our ability to successfully develop new services, platforms and solutions
that utilize AI and enhance or complement our existing services, platforms and solutions, and market acceptance of these offerings. | |
| 
| 
| 
The
Transactions could give rise to disputes or other unfavorable effects, which could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial position or results of operations. | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
focus on the development and provision of AI data center services represents an evolving business model and strategy. | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
AI data center services strategy may require significant time and expenditures to implement and our efforts may not be successful. | |
| 
| 
| 
In
the data center sector our business model is expected to rely significantly on other companies to joint venture those projects. Therefore,
our results are subject to the additional risks associated with the financial condition, operational expertise and priorities of
our joint venture partners. | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
increased focus on the AI data center market may not be successful and may result in adverse consequences to our business, results
of operations and financial condition. | |
| 
| 
| 
Expansion
of our business strategy into the AI data center market could increase competitive, operational, legal and regulatory risks to our
business in ways we cannot predict. | |
| 
| 
| 
Changing
political and geopolitical conditions, including changing international trade policies and the implementation of wide-ranging, reciprocal
and retaliatory tariffs, surtaxes and other similar import or export duties, or trade restrictions, could adversely impact our business,
prospects, operations and financial performance, specifically as it relates to the development and provision of AI data center services. | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
anticipated data center business is expected to have significant customer concentration. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
may be unable to raise additional capital needed to fulfill our capital or liquidity needs or grow our business and achieve the expansion
plans we have for our data center projects and interests, and the development and provision of AI data center services. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
expect to continue to incur substantial capital expenditures to grow our AI data center services business. | |
| 
| 
| 
Supply
chain and logistics issues for us, our contractors or our suppliers may frustrate or delay our expansion plans into the AI data center
services market or increase the cost of constructing our infrastructure. | |
| 
| 
| 
Any
electricity outage, non-supply or limitation of electricity supply, including as a result of political pressures or regulations,
or increase in electricity costs may result in material impacts to our AI data center services operations and financial performance. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
may be affected by price fluctuations in the wholesale and retail power markets. | |
| 
| 
| 
Any
delays or unexpected costs in the development of any new properties acquired for development by us or our partners may delay and
harm our growth prospects, future operating results and financial condition. | |
| 
| 
| 
Government
regulators and utilities may potentially restrict the ability of electricity suppliers to provide electricity to AI data centers
or AI services generally. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
may fail to anticipate or adapt to technology innovations in a timely manner, or at all. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
have never paid cash dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. | |
| 
| 
| 
Anti-takeover
provisions contained in our governing documents and applicable laws could impair a takeover attempt. | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
stock price may be volatile, and you may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at or above the price at which you purchased
such shares. | |
| 
| 
| 
If
we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited
public market for our shares, limit our ability to access existing liquidity facilities and make obtaining future financing more
difficult for us. | |
| 
| 
| 
Stockholders
may experience dilution of their ownership interest due to future issuances of shares of our common stock. | |
| 
| 
| 
Sales
of shares of our common stock, or the perception of such sales, by us or our significant stockholders in the public market or otherwise
could cause the market price for shares of our common stock to decline. | |

**PART
I**
**Item
1 Business**
**Overview**
Our
business strategy combines concepts from fractional jet and charter jet programs with innovations in artificial intelligence, also referred
to herein as AI.
We
formed our company on June 4, 2018. We developed and, in September 2019, launched our booking platform represented by our iOS app Jet
Token, which originally functioned as a prospecting and quoting platform to arrange private jet travel with third party carriers. Following
our acquisition of HondaJets, we began selling jet cards and fractional ownership interests in our aircraft. In 2023, we launched an
AI-enhanced booking app called CharterGPT. Beginning in 2023, we launched our Jet.AI Operator Platform to provide a business-to-business
(B2B) software platform for software-as-a-service (SaaS) products. Currently we offer the following SaaS
software to aircraft owners and operators generally:
| 
| 
| 
Reroute
AI: recycles aircraft waiting to return to base into prospective new charter bookings to destinations within specific distances;
and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
DynoFlight:
enables aircraft operators to estimate aircraft emissions then purchase carbon removal credits via our DynoFlight API. | |
We
have also established a specific version of a private jet by-the-seat booking tool for the Las Vegas Golden Knights professional ice
hockey team and Great Western Air, LLC (DBA Cirrus Aviation Services, LLC) (Cirrus) via 380 Software LLC. 380 Software
LLC is a by-the-seat charter joint venture between us and Cirrus.
Our
strategy historically has involved expanding our fleet of aircraft with larger aircraft capable of traveling longer distances, developing
a national jet card program based on third party aircraft, further enhancing the AI functionality of CharterGPT, and expanding upon our
B2B software offerings. Our strategy currently involves further enhancing the AI functionality of Ava, our agentic AI model, and CharterGPT,
and expanding upon Reroute AI and DynoFlight.
During
2025, we began executing a strategic transformation to become a pure-play AI data center infrastructure company. This strategic pivot
was driven by significant growth in demand for high-performance computing infrastructure to support artificial intelligence workloads.
****
*Potential
Sale of Aviation Business Assets*
On
February 13, 2025, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the Original Merger Agreement) with
flyExclusive, Inc. (flyExclusive), FlyX Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of flyExclusive (Merger Sub),
and Jet.AI SpinCo, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (SpinCo). On May 6, 2025, the parties entered into an
Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as subsequently amended, the Merger Agreement). Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, (i) as a condition to closing on the Merger Agreement, we will distribute all of the shares of SpinCo, on a
pro rata basis, to our stockholders (the Distribution), (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into SpinCo (the Merger
and, together with the Distribution and all other transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement, the Transactions)
with SpinCo surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of flyExclusive, and (iii) as consideration for the Merger, our existing
stockholders will have the right to receive shares of Class A common stock of flyExclusive. Additionally, our stockholders will continue
to own and hold their existing shares of our common stock as of closing of the Merger.
The
Merger Agreement amends, restates, replaces and supersedes the Original Merger Agreement in its entirety. Except as follows, the material
terms of the Transactions were unchanged in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement, among other things, amended the Original Merger
Agreement to provide that eighty percent of the merger consideration shares will be issued upon the closing, and twenty percent of the
merger consideration shares will be held in reserve by flyExclusive until a final post-closing purchase price is determined. Once the
final post-closing purchase price is determined, flyExclusive will only issue additional merger consideration shares from the reserve
on a dollar for dollar basis up to the lesser of the final purchase price and the initial purchase price.
| 1 | | |
| | |
On
February 11, 2026, the parties entered into an amendment to the Merger Agreement (the Amendment), which (i) eliminates
the closing condition that would have required us to execute a new securities purchase agreement with a third-party investor, pursuant
to which we would have issued the investor a warrant to purchase up to $50 million worth of shares of a newly-designated series of preferred
stock, and (ii) provides us with the ability to explore and negotiate potential post-closing strategic transactions, provided that any
such transaction must be conditioned upon the closing of the Transactions and consummated after the closing of the Transactions.
In
connection with executing the Original Merger Agreement, we, SpinCo, and flyExclusive entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement
(the Separation and Distribution Agreement), pursuant to which we will transfer the business, operations, services and
activities of our fractional and jet card business to SpinCo (the Separation) and consummate the Distribution. After the
Separation and Distribution, we will no longer operate a fractional or jet card business. We will continue to operate and retain our
software and intellectual property assets, but will cease to hold our aircraft fractional, jet card and management assets. The Transactions
are subject to various conditions to closing, including the receipt of stockholder approval and are expected to close during the first
or second quarter of 2026.
*Joint
Venture and Contribution Agreements*
On
June 26, 2025, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the JV Agreement) with Consensus Core Technologies Inc. (Consensus
Core) pursuant to which we and Consensus Core agreed to establish a joint venture allowing us to collaborate in developing data
centers. In furtherance of this collaboration, we entered into a Contribution Agreement (the Contribution Agreement) with
Consensus Core and Convergence Compute LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the joint venture entity contemplated by the JV
Agreement (Convergence Compute), on July 2, 2025. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, we contributed $300,000 to Convergence
Compute at the first closing of the transactions contemplated by the JV Agreement and acquired a 0.5% equity interest in Convergence
Compute. Ultimately, we have agreed to contribute up to an aggregate $20 million to Convergence Compute in five tranches that are each
tied to specific project development milestones.
On
November 7, 2025, we announced that the milestones associated with the second closingincluding the contribution by Consensus Core
of all equity interests of its data center project located in Midwestern Canada (the Midwest Project) to Convergence Computehad
been substantially completed and we have since contributed the $1.7 million in connection with the second milestone. As a result, we
and Consensus Core each received a 17.5% equity interest in the Midwest Project and we received an additional 0.5% equity interest in
Convergence Compute.
In
connection with the third closing under the Contribution Agreement, Consensus Core will contribute all equity interests in its data center
project located in Maritime Canada (the Maritime Project) to Convergence Compute. As a result of this contribution, we
and Consensus Core each will receive a 17.5% equity interest in the Maritime Project and we will receive an additional 0.5% equity interest
in Convergence Compute. If all five closings contemplated by the Contribution Agreement occur, we will receive hold an aggregate equity
interest of 2.5% of Consensus Core, an equity interest of 17.5% in the Midwest Project, and an equity interest of 17.5% in the Maritime
Project.
**Anticipated
Projects**
*Midwest
Project*
The
joint venture is developing a data center campus in Midwestern Canada, to expand its portfolio of high-capacity, sustainable data infrastructure.
The location sits adjacent to a natural gas pipeline in North America, historically intended to support the now-canceled Keystone Pipeline.
This pipeline transports Alberta gas eastward and includes the Emerson line.
The
site connects directly to a 115 kV transmission line tied to a main generation aggregation point. This line terminates at a pad owned
by Hydro. The site already hosts a 2 MVA transformer, switchgear, and a package substation capable of supporting a 15 MW load. This infrastructure
is in place and operational, the result of zoning changes (from agricultural to industrial) and regulatory approvals. A small proof-of-concept
data center is currently installed and tested on-site, housing approximately 2 MW of capacity. Although idle, the infrastructure is active.
| 2 | | |
| | |
*Maritime
Project*
The
joint venture is developing a high-capacity data center campus in Maritime Canada. Strategically positioned to capitalize on the regions
energy infrastructure and sustainability potential the Maritime Project aims to address the escalating demand for cloud computing, artificial
intelligence, and digital infrastructure across North America.
The
Maritime Project benefits from immediate access to 40 megawatts of substation capacity, that would be expected to enable operations to
commence promptly upon development. The site is expected to scale to 100 megawatts in the near term, with long-term plans to exceed 1
gigawatt, which at that scale would position the site as a major hub for hyperscale data center operations. Located alongside an established
large-scale critical energy hub, the campus has access to substantial natural gas resources, increasing the probability of reliable and
cost-effective power delivery. Additionally, the site is adjacent to 10,000 acres of developable land earmarked for future green energy
production expansion.

**Recent
Events**

*Proposed
Moapa, Nevada Data Center*
On
December 23, 2025, we announced a planned joint venture with for a 50-megawatt data center campus in Moapa, Clark County, Nevada, on
approximately 20 acres. The site is adjacent to a remediated coal plant (now a 200MW battery storage facility) with access to electric
transmission, natural gas, fiber, water, and transportation infrastructure. If successfully implemented, and subject to the execution
of definitive agreements, completion of diligence, and satisfaction of customary conditions, we expect to commit approximately $10 million
over two years, with certain economic incentives to be allocated approximately 70% to us and 30% to our joint venture partner. We entered
into a non-binding term sheet with respect to the joint venture in December 2025 and currently expect to enter into definitive agreements
in the first or second quarter of 2026.
*Nasdaq
Compliance*
On
February 6, 2026, we received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq (the Notice Letter)
stating that we are not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), as the minimum bid price of our common stock had been below
$1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (the Minimum Bid Price Requirement). The Notice Letter has no immediate
effect on the listing or trading of our common stock. We have 180 calendar days, or until August 45, 2026 (the Initial Compliance
Period), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In the event we do not regain compliance with the Minimum
Bid Price Requirement during the Initial Compliance Period, we may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period (the
Additional Compliance Period) if, at that time, we meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of publicly
held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement.
At
the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders the Company received stockholder approval to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding
shares of common stock at a ratio of up to 1-for-250. Should we not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the
Initial Compliance Period or the Additional Compliance Period, if applicable, we expect to effect such a reverse stock split in a sufficient
ratio so as to cause us to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Although we believe that we will be able to regain
compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum
Bid Price Requirement, satisfy the requirements necessary for eligibility for an Additional Compliance Period, or maintain compliance
with any other listing requirements.

**Our
Aircraft Operations**
In
July 2021, we leased a HondaJet aircraft under a short-term lease arrangement, which terminated in February 2022, to accelerate our aircraft
operations and sales of jet card memberships. We previously acquired four HondaJet Elite aircraft under our 2020 purchase agreement with
Honda Aircraft Company, LLC (Honda Aircraft Company), discussed under *Our Aircraft* below, all four
of which have been sold, but three of which remain part of our fleet, as discussed below. Cirrus is managing, operating, and maintaining
our aircraft.
We
offer the following programs for our HondaJet Elite aircraft:
| 
| 
| 
Fractional
ownership program: This program provides potential owners the ability to purchase a share in a jet at a fraction of the cost of acquiring
an entire aircraft. Each 1/5 share guarantees 75 occupied hours of usage per year with 24 hours of notice. The fractional ownership
program consists of a down payment, one or more progress payments, a payment on delivery, a monthly management fee and an hourly
usage fee. As part of the aircraft purchase agreement, the buyer enters into an aircraft management agreement which lasts three years
and, at the end of the contract period, the aircraft is typically sold, and the owners are given their pro-rata share of the sale
proceeds. The three-year term is not renewable. Our current contracts do not contemplate the re-fractioning of the aircraft to other
buyers at the end of the term, but rather a whole aircraft sale to a single buyer. Monthly management fees are in general subject
to an annual CPI-W based step-up. CPI-W is a measure of cost inflation commonly used in long term aviation service contracts with
OEMs and engine manufacturers. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Jet
card program: A membership in our jet card program generally includes 10, 25 or 50 occupied hours of usage per year with 24 hours
of notice. Members generally pay 100% upfront and then fly for a fixed hourly rate over the next twelve months. Those who require
guaranteed availability may pay a membership fee for an additional charge. Jet card program members may interchange as a set ratio
per aircraft onto any one of twenty jets operated by our partner, Cirrus. | |
In
addition to servicing members, fractional owners and third-party charter clients, we intend for our HondaJet Elites to be available to
address unexpected cancellations or delays on brokered charters. Unlike most of our brokerage competitors, as well as many business jet
management companies which require owner approval before their aircraft can be used for third party charter, we believe maintaining a
fleet of readily available aircraft to back fill third party charter services provides more reliability and is an attractive selling
point for potential clients.
In
2022, we entered into agreements with Cirrus under which we sell jet cards for Cirruss aircraft, for a commission for sales and
client management services, and we make Cirruss aircraft available to our customers for charter bookings at preferred rates and
with certain service guarantees. As a result, our jet card members and charter customers have access to twenty of Cirruss aircraft
in the light, mid, super-mid, heavy, and ultra-long-range categories, comprising the following aircraft: CJ3+, CJ4, Lear 45XR, Citation
XLS+, Lear 60, Hawker 900XP, Challenger 300, Challenger 604, Falcon 900EX, Challenger 850, Gulfstream V and Gulfstream G550.
In
the fourth quarter of 2022, we launched the Onboard Program to allow aircraft owners to contribute their aircraft to our charter and
jet card inventory. The Onboard Program requires one month FAA conformity of aircraft onto the Cirrus Part 135 certificate, a one-week
pilot recertification course for charter operation and execution of a limited management agreement. We currently have one Cessna Citation
Jet CJ4 aircraft (Citation CJ4 Gen 2) and one Beechcraft Super King Air B300 (350I) aircraft (King Air 350i)
managed pursuant to our OnBoard Program.
**Our
Software Platforms**
**Our
Booking Platform CharterGPT**
Our
booking platform displays a variety of options across private aircraft types in addition to the pricing of our own aircraft, with a range
of prices drawn from a list of thousands of aircraft for hire. We offer users the ability to request a jet and to simultaneously task
us with seeking a lower-cost otherwise superior alternative. CharterGPT is directly connected via our application programming interface
(API) to Avinode, the major centralized database in private aviation. Through Avinode we can electronically and automatically correspond
with operators of private jets who have posted their aircraft for hire. We envision a time when CharterGPT draws upon resources other
than Avinode for private aircraft inventory, in particular we contemplate a connection between the inventory found in Reroute AI and
CharterGPT.
The
CharterGPT app, which we released in the iOS and Android stores in 2023 to replace the charter booking function of our Jet Token app,
automates certain of these manual steps involved in charter bookings, and we believe this automation will enable us to scale charter
activity with fewer persons than would be normally required. In particular, CharterGPT is designed to do the following: (1) intake travel
requirements in natural language and then interact with customers to provide substantive replies and actionable suggestions with quality
indistinguishable from an experienced charter professional; (2) power the content behind outbound calls to smaller charter operators
to confirm electronic indications of interest communicated via the Avinode centralized booking database of private aircraft; (3) reconcile
the natural language terms in a third party jet operator contract with the terms and conditions in the contract the customer signs with
us; and (4) verify that payment for the charter has cleared.

**Our
Agentic AI Model Ava**
In
late 2024 we announced the launch of our agentic AI model, Ava, that books private jets. Through Ava, customers can book
private jets by calling or texting a toll-free number where the AI provides real-time aircraft availability, transparent pricing, and
expert guidance to help users select the perfect jet for their intended journey. For those who prefer texting, Ava enables full conversational
experience via SMS, responding to inquiries, sharing details, and providing a direct link to the CharterGPT app for seamless trip management.
The AI is intended to ensure every customer receives a personalized and efficient experience, whether theyre seasoned flyers or
first-time travelers.
**Jet.AI
Operator Platform**
Jet.AI
provides and continues to develop a B2B software platform for a suite of SaaS products termed Jet.AI Operator Platform
which currently consists of:
*Reroute
AI*
In
2024 we launched Reroute AI. Reroute AI software is web based and enables FAA Part 135 operators to earn revenue on otherwise empty flight
legs. When prompted with basic travel itinerary information such as city pair and date of travel, Reroute AI searches its database of
empty flight legs and proposes novel combinations of those legs that meet these constraints it has been given. Its database of empty
flight legs comes from API integrations with certain other databases and a ChatGPT enhanced scrape of publicly available empty leg lists
published by Part 135 operators. An operator may upload its own aircraft tail numbers and empty leg list if for any reason one or both
have not already been uploaded into the system. We generate revenue from Reroute AI when an operator wishes to book an itinerary proposed
by the software that involves the use of aircraft outside that operators fleet. In that instance, we act as broker to the operator
using Reroute AIs proposed itinerary and a human in the loop to negotiate the new pricing and new routing of the third party operators
aircraft.
*DynoFlight*
DynoFlight
is a software API that we launched at the end of 2023. It enables aircraft operators to track and estimate emissions and then purchase
carbon offset credits. DynoFlight offers small to medium sized operators a way to begin tracking and offsetting their carbon credits
with advanced estimation techniques, compliant practices, and quality credits at prices usually only accessible to operators working
at a much larger scale that are buying in bulk. In February, 2024, we announced a collaboration with FL3XX, a web and app-based aviation
management platform, to introduce the DynoFlight carbon offset platform to FL3XX customers. We believe the DynoFlight API may offer an
advantage even to large organizations that wish to manage working capital more efficiently (i.e. pay as they fly instead of buying in
bulk). We are currently in the process of integrating the DynoFlight API with the FL3XX systems. We believe that, once the DynoFlight
API has been integrated with FL3XX and future customers, it will generate monthly and usage-based revenues with modest operating costs
limited to server administration and maintenance of the code base.
**AI
Data Centers**
With
our announcement of the potential sale of our fractional and jet card business assets, we also announced our entry into the AI
infrastructure space and have entered into the JV Agreement for our first 50-megawatt project as part of a new twenty-acre campus.
Consensus Core is a Vancouver-based provider of high-performance graphics processing unit infrastructure and AI cloud services. The
joint venture is expected to develop two hyperscale data center campuses - one located in Manitoba Canada and the other in Maritime
Canada - with a combined power capacity target of approximately 1.5 gigawatts. The Midwest Project currently has 2 megawatts of
capacity live and is expected to reach 100 megawatts within 12 months, while the Maritime Project is expected to begin with 40
megawatts and scale to over 1 gigawatt.
| 5 | | |
| | |
Under
the JV Agreement and Contribution Agreement, on July 2, 2025, we contributed $300,000 to Convergence Compute and acquired a 0.5%
equity interest in Convergence Compute. We have invested additional $1.7 million securing a 17.5% equity interest in the Midwest
Project, and plan to invest an additional $2 million at a later date to obtain a 17.5% equity interest in the Maritime Project. We
will have the option to complete the fourth and fifth closings under the Contribution Agreement, which would result in us having
contributed an aggregate of $20 million if all five closings are consummated. The project development milestones and additional cash
contributions that we have agreed to contribute or have the option of contributing are outlined in the table below.

The
joint venture is structured to generate recurring cash flow from our equity interests and offer potential capital appreciation, aligning
with our long-term strategy to become a leading developer of AI infrastructure. The projects feature access to large-scale power infrastructure,
including transmission lines, natural gas pipelines, and proximity to hydroelectric sources, positioning them for scalable and sustainable
growth in the rapidly evolving AI compute market.
**AI
Infrastructure Acquisition Corp.**
****
We
hold an approximate 49.9% ownership interest in AIIA Sponsor Ltd., the sponsor of AI Infrastructure Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: AIIA) (AI
Acquisition), a special purpose acquisition company focused on opportunities in the broader AI infrastructure sector. On October
3, 2025, AI Acquisition completed an initial public offering of 13.8 million units at $10.00 per unit, raising $138 million in gross
proceeds. Through our interest in the sponsor, we have an indirect interest in approximately 2.3 million Class B ordinary shares of AI
Infrastructure, approximately 132,000 Class A ordinary shares of AI Infrastructure, and approximately 132,000 private placement rights,
with each right entitling the holder to receive one-fifth (1/5) of one Class A ordinary share of AI Infrastructure .
**Strategy**
**Aircraft
Operations**
Having
purchased and sold four HondaJet Elite aircraft, three of which remain part of our fleet, as discussed below, we previously planned to
gradually expand our fleet with larger light jet and super-mid-size aircraft. In October 2024, we entered into an aircraft purchase agreement
with Textron Aviation Inc. (Textron), for the purchase of three Citation CJ4 Gen 2 aircraft. In August 2025, we replaced
our three orders for Citation CJ4 Gen 2 aircraft with three orders for Citation CJ3 aircraft. The aircraft are currently expected to
be delivered in 2027. Upon delivery, the jets would, in turn, be managed by Cirrus and listed on their Part 135 certificate. Customers
who purchase fractional interest in these jets would be expected to make a down payment and progress payments, consistent with fractional
industry norms.
Because
all major manufacturers of larger cabin aircraft such as Gulfstream, Falcon, Bombardier, Embraer, and Textron each have one to three
year waiting lists for purchasing an aircraft, many of our fractional competitors can only pre-sell, and remain otherwise unable to offer
the related service. Our strategy is to allow customers, in advance of delivery, to fly on Cirruss managed aircraft. In return
the customer would pay a monthly management fee (MMF) and an occupied hourly fee (OHF) at rates substantially similar to those for their
Citation CJ3.
The
above description of our aircraft operations strategy assumes that our current operations will remain the same. However, if we consummate
the proposed Transactions pursuant to the Merger Agreement with flyExclusive, we will transfer the business, operations, services and
activities of our fractional and jet card business to SpinCo and will no longer operate a fractional and jet card business.

**Artificial
Intelligence**
We
operate CharterGPT, our enhanced booking app, in the iOS and Android stores. The app functions as a prospecting and quoting tool for
those interested in chartering a private jet. We released CharterGPT in 2023 to automate much of the manual labor in charter bookings
for all of the steps between a customers firm indication of interest and their arrival at ultimate destination. In late 2024,
we followed up with our agentic AI model, Ava. We believe this automation will enable us to scale charter activity with fewer persons
than would be normally required. In particular, CharterGPT is designed to do the following: (1) intake travel requirements in natural
language and then interact with customers to provide substantive replies and actionable suggestions with quality indistinguishable from
an experienced charter professional; (2) power the content behind outbound calls to smaller charter operators to confirm electronic indications
of interest communicated via the Avinode centralized booking database of private aircraft; (3) reconcile the natural language terms in
a third party jet operator contract with the terms and conditions in the contract the customer signs with us; and (4) verify that payment
for the charter has cleared.
In
addition, in 2024, we incorporated the following AI-powered features into CharterGPT and Ava to offer a continually improving unique
and personalized experience to customers:
*Aircraft
Recommendation Engine*: This feature provides customers greater transparency and understanding of the characteristics of the aircraft
that are available for their trips, making it easier for customers to make an informed decision regarding which aircraft to book. The
recommendation engine analyzes a list of available jets based on the travelers request, and considers factors such as budget,
preferred aircraft size, age of aircraft, distance of the trip compared with non-stop/range capability, number of passengers, ages and
weights of passengers and their respective bags compared with cargo capacity, basic take-off weight limitations, operator safety audit
(Argus/Wyvern), cabin amenities such as a fully enclosed lavatory, WiFi availability and years since last interior refurbishment.
*Customer
service*: This feature provides intelligent customer service by using natural language processing and machine learning algorithms
to understand and respond to initial booking requests. Our management believes that untrained call center staff and brittle chat
bots still characterize much of the customer facing experience today in the US. With the advent of AI, we believe that even for high
ticket items, consumers will come to expect a natural language interface trained on terabytes of data that relate specifically to
their respective purchases.
The
back end of the CharterGPT app is expected to provide three features that may address the labor intensity (and hence scalability) of
our charter brokerage business. First, each charter operator has its own form of legal contract for carriage and that contract must be
reconciled with the terms found in the charter brokers agreement with the passenger. Our AI is expected to perform this reconciliation
automatically, improving the speed to close with the client and reducing labor costs. Second, many charter operators do not initially
respond to electronic requests delivered through the Avinode charter database that powers our app. Our generative chat AI is expected
to perform outbound voice calls to prompt aircraft operators to respond to quotes we have requested via the web interface to their Avinode
account. Third, we expect to develop our AI to integrate with Schedero (an Avinode based scheduling application) to generate a trip sheet
for a given charter and then to further integrate with Stripe to invoice and confirm payment via credit card, wire, or ACH.
In
addition, we are developing the following AI-powered features to incorporate into the AI functionality of CharterGPT:
*Predictive
Destination Optimization*: CharterGPT uses historical traffic patterns and traveler preferences, and is expected to make use of information
such as airport closures, fuel prices, and landing fees to then recommend which private airport to select when a travelers destination
address is serviced by multiple airstrips. For example, Los Angeles is serviced by Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Van Nuys
Airport (KVNY), Burbank Bob Hope Airport (KBUR), and John Wayne Airport (KSNA). Landing at an airport farther from ones ultimate
destination may save time if doing so enables faster ground transportation.
*Predictive
Departure Date*: CharterGPT analyzes historical pricing data and forward-looking event data related to a given itinerary to predict
the best date to book a flight to obtain the lowest price for their desired charter itinerary. Although approximately thirty-five blackout
days a year are widely understood to absorb most domestic private aviation capacity, a variety of lesser appreciated grey-out days centered
around key sporting events or entirely new happenings can affect both regional and national pricing.
| 8 | | |
| | |
**
*Predictive
Departure Time*: CharterGPT recommends optimal departure times based on both historical and live weather conditions, air traffic,
and other factors, to help customers more reliably arrive at their destination on time.
*Predictive
Ground Transportation*: CharterGPT recommends ground transportation. For example, some airports run out of rental cars at certain
times each year because of an annual conference or other recurring special event. Some of our competitors have taken steps to remedy
the shortage at some airports by positioning in their own vehicles for customer use.
**Sales
and Marketing (Aircraft Operations)**
Our
marketing and advertising efforts are focused on high-net-worth individuals. We have observed that many first-time private flyers came
to market beginning in 2020 in an effort to avoid commercial travel and thereby curtail their prospective exposure to COVID-19. We intend
to continue to expand our marketing and advertising through the following channels: online marketing, television advertising and event
marketing. Paid social media and search engine advertising drive our online marketing. In the past we have launched 15 and 30 second
advertising spots that are targeted at high-net-worth individuals and corporate executives through several channels, including CNBC,
Fox Business, and The Golf Channel, as well as online through Facebook and LinkedIn. We intend to expand social media and event marketing
in particular, provided those meet our internal return targets. With respect to event marketing, we intend to have a presence at sporting
events, business jet industry gatherings and company hosted aircraft static displays.
**Our
Aircraft**
Our
aircraft fleet consists of five aircraft three HondaJet Elites, one Citation CJ4 Gen 2 aircraft and one King Air 350i aircraft.
We acquired the three HondaJet Elites pursuant to a purchase agreement with Honda Aircraft Company for a multi-aircraft deal for four
HondaJet Elites, all four of which have been sold, but three of which remain part of our fleet. One of the HondaJet Elites in our current
fleet was sold and we now lease the aircraft from Western Finance Company. The other two HondaJet Elites in our current fleet were purchased
and subsequently financed through the sale of all fractional interests in each of these aircraft. We now operate both of those HondaJet
Elites. We also acquired an additional HondaJet Elite pursuant to the purchase agreement with Honda Aircraft Company, but we sold this
aircraft in June 2022, after we determined, based on our internal financial and legal review, that the sale of the aircraft would offer
a net benefit to our stakeholders. We do not operate this HondaJet Elite aircraft. The fourth and fifth aircraft in our current fleet
- the Citation CJ4 Gen 2 aircraft and King Air 350i aircraft - are wholly owned by one of our customers who committed his aircraft to
us via our Onboard Program for management and charter pursuant to our limited management agreement. Under the terms of our management
agreement, which has a term of one year that automatically renews unless otherwise terminated by either party upon 30 days prior notice,
the customer pays us a monthly management fee for services, including aircraft management services, flight crew services, such as pilot
hiring, flight operations services, aircraft maintenance management and other administrative services.
As
discussed in *Business Strategy Aircraft Operations* above, we have executed a fleet purchase agreement
to acquire three Citation CJ3 aircraft from Textron Aviation, consisting of three firm orders. Upon delivery, the jets would in turn be managed by Cirrus and listed on their Part 135 certificate. Customers
would be expected to make a down payment and progress payments, consistent with fractional industry norms.
We
currently base our fleet at Harry Reid International airport in Las Vegas, NV, and may relocate the fleet based on seasonal travel patterns
and the travel patterns of our membership.
Based
on our experience, and in light of many of our competitors restricting charters on certain blackout dates, we estimate
that thirty calendar days per year (due to holidays, major sporting events, etc.) it is extremely difficult to fly private without the
guaranteed access provided by a jet membership program such as ours. We believe that the ability to safely offer guaranteed capacity,
on demand, is one of the most important features one can deliver in private aviation. Also, possessing a dedicated fleet enables us to
offer dynamic pricing to customers, which is attractive to online customers.

Cirrus has the capability to provide substitute aircraft at competitive rates in periods of excess demand for our aircraft.
The
above description of our aircraft assumes that our current operations will remain the same. However, if we consummate the proposed Transactions
pursuant to the Merger Agreement with flyExclusive, we will transfer the business, operations, services and activities of our fractional
and jet card business to SpinCo and will no longer operate a fractional and jet card business.
**Competition**
****
*Aircraft
Operations:*
The
private air travel industry is extraordinarily competitive. We compete against other private jet charter and fractional jet companies.
Established private jet brokerage and fractional companies include but are not limited to, NetJets, FlexJet, VistaGlobal (including JetSmarter
powered by XO), SentientJet, WheelsUp, Nicholas Air, Executive Air Share, Plane Sense, One Sky
Jets, StarJets, Jet Aviation, and Luxury Aircraft Solutions. All compete for passengers with a variety of pricing plans, aircraft
types, blackout periods, booking terms, flyer programs and other products and services, including seating, food, entertainment and other
on-board amenities.
Both
the private jet charter companies and the legacy airlines and low-cost carriers have numerous competitive advantages that enable them
to attract both business and leisure travelers. Our competitors may have corporate travel contracts that direct large numbers of employees
to fly with a preferred carrier. The enormous route networks operated by our competitors, combined with their marketing and partnership
relationships with regional airlines and international alliance partner carriers, allow them to generate increased passenger traffic
from domestic and international cities. Our access to smaller aircraft fleet networks and lack of connecting traffic and marketing alliances
puts us at a competitive disadvantage, particularly with respect to our appeal to higher-fare business travelers.
The
fractional private jet companies and the legacy airlines and low-cost carriers each operate larger fleets of aircraft and have greater
financial resources, which would permit them to add service in response to our entry into new markets. Due to our relatively small size,
we are more susceptible to fare wars or other competitive activities, which could prevent us from attaining the level of traffic or maintaining
the level of sales required to sustain profitable operations.

**
*AI
Data Centers:*
**
The
AI data center infrastructure market is highly competitive and capital-intensive, characterized by rapidly growing demand for
high-performance computing capacity to support artificial intelligence workloads. We compete with established hyperscale data center
operators including Equinix, Digital Realty, CyrusOne, QTS Realty Trust, AirTrunk, Switch, CoreSite, CyrusOne, Compass Datacenters,
Edgecore and CoreSite, as well as cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud
that develop their own AI infrastructure. Additionally, we face competition from other emerging AI-focused infrastructure developers
and private equity-backed data center platforms. Our competitors generally possess significantly greater financial resources,
established customer relationships, operational scale, and technical expertise. As a new entrant with limited operating history in
this sector, we are at a competitive disadvantage in terms of track record, access to capital, and ability to secure large-scale
power allocations and customer commitments. However, our joint venture structure with Consensus Core, strategic site selection with
access to substantial power infrastructure and renewable energy sources, and focus on purpose-built AI workload optimization may
provide competitive differentiation as the market evolves.
**Intellectual
Property**
We
registered trademarks and related logos with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on our respective brand names, Jet Token,
and Jet.AI. We have also purchased the domain names, jettoken.com and jet.ai,
operating our website under those domains. We are the sole owner of the intellectual property rights in and to the software code underlying CharterGPT and the software
code underlying our Jet.AI Operator Platform offerings.
**Employees**
As
of March 6, 2026, we have nine employees (seven full-time and two part-time), including our Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Executive
Officer, our Interim Chief Financial Officer, our Chief Operating Officer, our Chief Technology Officer and our Chief Marketing Officer.
**Regulation**
**Regulations
Applicable to the Operation of Our Aircraft**
Once
we have leased our aircraft, Cirrus, which maintains and manages our aircraft, is subject to a high degree of regulation that affects
our business, including regulations governing aviation activity, safety standards and environmental standards.
*U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT)*
The
DOT primarily regulates economic issues affecting air transportation such as the air carriers financial and management fitness,
insurance, consumer protection and competitive practices. The DOT has the authority to investigate and bring proceedings to enforce its
regulations and may assess civil penalties, revoke operating authority, and seek criminal sanctions. Our operating as an air charter
carrier is regulated and certificated by the DOT. The DOT authorizes the carrier to engage in on-demand air transportation within the
United States, its territories, and possessions. The DOT can suspend or revoke that authority for cause, essentially stopping all operations.
*U.S.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)*
The
FAA primarily regulates flight operations, in particular matters affecting air safety, such as airworthiness requirements for aircraft
and pilot, mechanic, dispatcher and flight attendant certification. The FAA regulates:
| 
| 
| 
aircraft
and associated equipment (and all aircraft are subject to ongoing airworthiness standards), | |
| 
| 
| 
maintenance
and repair facility certification, | |
| 
| 
| 
certification
and regulation of pilots and cabin crew, and | |
| 
| 
| 
management
of airspace. | |
| 11 | | |
| | |
In
order to engage in air transportation for hire, each air carrier is required to obtain an FAA operating certificate authorizing the airline
to operate using specified equipment in specified types of air service. In the case of our leased aircraft, it is a Part 135 license.
The FAA has the authority to modify, suspend temporarily or revoke permanently the authority to provide air transportation for failure
to comply with FAA regulations. The FAA can assess civil penalties for such failures or institute proceedings for the imposition and
collection of monetary fines for the violation of certain FAA regulations. The FAA can revoke authority to provide air transportation
on an emergency basis, without notice and hearing, where significant safety issues are involved. The FAA monitors compliance with maintenance,
flight operations and safety regulations, maintains onsite representatives and performs inspections of a carriers aircraft, employees
and records.
The
FAA also has the authority to issue maintenance/airworthiness directives and other mandatory orders relating to aircraft and engines,
fire retardant and smoke detection devices, collision and windshear avoidance systems, navigational equipment, noise abatement and the
mandatory removal and replacement of aircraft parts that have failed or may fail in the future. FAA enforcement authority over aircraft
includes the power to ground aircraft or limit their usage.
*U.S.
Transportation Security Administration (TSA)*
The
TSA is responsible for oversight of passenger and baggage screening, cargo security measures, airport security, assessment and distribution
of intelligence and security research and development. Air carriers are subject to TSA mandates and oversight in connection with screening
passenger identities and screening baggage. TSA regulations governing passenger identification, which we will apply at the time of purchase
as well as at the time of travel, requires all passengers to provide identification using a valid verifying identity document. In addition,
all passengers must provide their full name, date of birth, and gender, which is screened against the travel ban watch list in effect
at the time of initial screening and at the time of travel.
All
air carriers are also subject to certain provisions of the Communications Act of 1934 because of their extensive use of radio and other
communication facilities and are required to obtain an aeronautical radio license from the Federal Communications Commission, or the
FCC.
*U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)*
CBP,
also an agency of DHS, is the principal regulator of customs and immigration matters affecting the aviation industry and enforcer of
certain public health matters affecting the aviation industry. Whenever our air carrier operations include an international flight segment,
we must provide CBP with an advance disclosure of passenger information, facilitate CBPs inspection of baggage and help ensure
the proper disposal of any foreign-originating refuse on the aircraft. CBP also oversees entry and clearance into the U.S., including
with respect to exports and imports, and issues landing rights approvals for aircraft arriving in the U.S. from abroad.
*U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)*
The
EPA is the principal federal environmental regulator. In January 2021, the EPA promulgated new rules relating to the greenhouse gas emissions
from carbon fuels used in aircraft engines for aircraft manufactured or in-production on or after January 1, 2028. This will likely bring
about a change in future aircraft engine designs and approvals and eventually require replacement of engines in future years. This area
of regulation is not settled. It still is subject to change based on domestic and international laws and standards intended to address
global environmental issues, making it impossible to say how such developments might impact our business in the future. Our costs of
complying with environmental laws were insignificant for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
*Local
Airport Authorities*
The
vast majority of airports where we fly are owned and operated by state and local government entities. These airport authorities claim
the right to impose certain safety, security and other regulations so long as they do not conflict with U.S. federal law. Airport authorities
also have extensive property rights that empower them to impose conditions on leasing and using airport facilities. The terms on which
an airport authority might lease or allow use of its property (or other property and services at an airport) can, at times, be on terms
less favorable than would be customary for real estate or other transactions outside of an airport environment.
These
regulatory authorities have the ability to stop a part or all of our business and flight operations such as by suspending or revoking
our certifications or other authorizations. They also have the ability to impose monetary fines and other civil penalties and to make
referrals for criminal prosecution. These actions may occur with little or no notice, depending on the circumstances as perceived by
the regulators in their discretion.

****
**Regulations
Applicable to AI Data Center Operations**
****
Our
current and prospective AI data center projects and operations are subject to extensive federal, state, provincial, and local regulations.
At the federal level, the EPA regulates air emissions, waste disposal, and hazardous materials handling, while the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission oversees interstate electricity transmission and wholesale power markets. Our Canadian projects are subject to provincial
environmental agencies and energy regulators in their respective jurisdictions. Interconnection to electrical grids requires compliance
with North American Electric Reliability Corporation standards and approval from regional transmission organizations or independent system
operators. Data center operations must comply with state and provincial public utility commission regulations governing large power consumers,
including potential demand response requirements and time-of-use rate structures. Facilities in which we have an interest, or that we
may own and operate, are subject to local building codes, zoning ordinances, land use restrictions, and permitting requirements. Water
usage for cooling systems may be subject to allocation limits and discharge permits under the Clean Water Act in the U.S. and comparable
provincial legislation in Canada. We (and / or our joint venture partners) must also comply with data privacy and cybersecurity regulations,
including sector-specific requirements that may apply to customers utilizing our infrastructure.
The
regulatory landscape for AI data centers continues to evolve. Federal and state regulators are increasingly scrutinizing the energy consumption
of data centers, with potential future requirements for energy efficiency standards, renewable energy usage mandates, and greenhouse
gas emission reporting or limitations. Several jurisdictions are considering or implementing AI-specific regulations that could impose
compliance obligations on infrastructure providers. Water scarcity concerns in certain regions may result in stricter consumption limits
or cooling technology requirements. Grid operators may impose additional interconnection requirements or curtailment obligations as data
center demand grows. The regulatory environment in both the U.S. and Canada remains uncertain, and changes in environmental policy, energy
regulation, or AI governance could materially impact our development timelines, operating costs, and competitive position.
**Properties**
We
lease space for our corporate headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada, consisting of office space and the use of shared conference
facilities. We believe this leased office is in satisfactory condition and is suitable for the conduct of our
business.
**Available
Information**
We
file annual reports, quarterly reports, current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. Our SEC filings are available
to the public through the Investor Relations portion of our website as soon as practicable after we have electronically
filed such material with, or furnished it to, the SEC. In addition, the SEC maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and information
statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at www.sec.gov.
Our
internet address is www.jet.ai. The information on our website is not, and shall not be deemed to be, part of this Report or incorporated
into any other filings we make with the SEC, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filings. All website
addresses in this Report are intended to be inactive textual references only.

**Item
1A Risk Factors**
****
Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed by any of
these risks. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not currently known to us or
other factors not perceived by us to present significant risks to our business at this time also may impair our business operations.
**Risks
Related to Our Business**
****
**We
may not have sufficient funds to sustain our business until (if ever) we become profitable (if ever) and may not be able to obtain additional
capital when desired, on favorable terms or at all. If we are unsuccessful in securing additional sources of capital, we may not be able
to continue as a going concern.**
We
depend on funds from our operations, proceeds from our financing arrangements and additional fundraising in order to sustain our ongoing
operations. To date, we have suffered recurring losses from operations and have a significant accumulated deficit. As a result of these
recurring losses from operations and the need for additional capital, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. Therefore, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern in our report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025,
included a similar qualification regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP, which contemplates that we will continue to operate as a going concern. Our financial statements do not contain
any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
The
industry and markets in which we focus and intend to focus make are difficult to evaluate, enter, and remain competitive. We expect that
we will need to make continued investments in our projects, as well as in equipment, facilities and technology. We also anticipate that
we will need to invest substantial capital to pursue certain business opportunities in sectors that are complementary to AI-focused business
operations, continue technology and product development, and fund working capital for anticipated growth. If we do not generate sufficient
cash flow from operations or otherwise have the capital resources to meet our future capital needs, we may need additional financing
to implement our business strategy.
We
expect that we will need to raise additional capital in the future to continue to operate, fund expansion, respond to competitive pressures,
potentially acquire complementary assets, businesses or technologies, or take advantage of unanticipated opportunities. We may seek to
do so through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements. Our ability to secure any required financing
will depend in part upon prevailing capital market conditions and business success. There can be no assurance that we will be successful
in our efforts to secure any additional financing on terms satisfactory to us or at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts
of additional capital, we may need to reduce the near-term scope of our planned development and operations, which could delay implementation
of our business planthereby harming our business, financial condition and operating results. In such circumstances, we may have
to significantly reduce our operations or delay, scale back or discontinue the development of one or more of our products or services,
seek alternative financing arrangements, declare bankruptcy or terminate our operations entirely.
In
addition, even if we are able to obtain additional financing on satisfactory terms, we cannot predict the size of future issuances of
shares of our common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and
sales of shares of our common stock will have on the price of our shares of common stock. We may not accurately anticipate how quickly
we may use our funds and whether these funds are sufficient to bring the business to profitability. Furthermore, raising additional capital
through the issuance of equity securities may reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders and such existing stockholders
may experience additional dilution in net book value per share. Any such newly-issued equity securities may also have rights, preferences
or privileges senior to those of the holders of shares of our common stock.
If
we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness may involve restrictive covenants that impair our
ability to pursue our growth strategy and other aspects of our business plan, expose us to greater interest rate risk and volatility,
and require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the
availability of our cash flow to fund working capital and capital expenditures, increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic
and industry conditions, placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt, and limiting our ability
to borrow additional funds. In connection with any such future capital raising transactions, whether involving the issuance of equity
securities or the incurrence of indebtedness, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to raise additional capital
for a period of time, which may limit or prevent us from raising capital at times when it would otherwise be opportunistic to do so.
| 14 | | |
| | |
**We
are an early-stage company with a limited operating history.**
****
We
have a limited history upon which to evaluate our performance and future prospects. Our current and proposed operations are subject to
all business risks associated with newer enterprises. These include likely fluctuations in operating results as we react to developments
in our markets, difficulty in managing our growth, and the entry of competitors into our markets. We have incurred net losses to date
and anticipate continuing net losses for the foreseeable future. We cannot assure you that we will be profitable in the foreseeable future
or generate sufficient profits to pay dividends. If we achieve profitability, we cannot be certain that we will be able to sustain or
increase such profitability. We have not consistently generated positive cash flow from operations and cannot be certain that we will
be able to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future. To achieve and sustain profitability, we must accomplish numerous
objectives, including broadening and stabilizing our sources of revenue. Accomplishing these objectives may require significant capital
investments. We cannot assure the achievement of these objectives.
****
**We
may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategies.**
****
Our
growth strategies include, among other things, expanding our addressable market by opening up private aviation to non-members through
our marketplace, expanding into new domestic markets, pursuing new opportunities in the AI sector, and developing adjacent (or complementary)
businesses, including, but not limited to, developing and operating AI data centers. We face numerous challenges in implementing our
growth strategies, including our ability to execute on market, business, product/service and geographic expansions. Our strategies for
growth are dependent on, among other things, our ability to expand existing products and service offerings and launch new products and
service offerings. Although we devote significant financial and other resources to the expansion of our products and service offerings,
our efforts may not be commercially successful or achieve the desired results. Our financial results and our ability to maintain or improve
our competitive position will depend on our ability to effectively gauge the direction of our key marketplaces and successfully identify,
develop, market and sell new or improved products and services in these changing marketplaces. Our inability to successfully implement
our growth strategies could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and any assumptions
underlying estimates of expected cost savings or expected revenues may be inaccurate.
****
**Our
operating results have been, and are expected to continue to be, difficult to continue to predict based on a number of factors that also
will affect our long-term performance.**
We
expect our operating results to fluctuate significantly in the future based on a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control
and difficult to predict. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be a good indicator of our future
or long-term performance. The following factors may affect us from period-to-period and may affect our long-term performance:
| 
| 
| 
we
may fail to successfully execute our business, marketing and other strategies; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
our
ability to grow complementary products and service offerings may be limited, which could negatively impact our growth rate and financial
performance; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
we
may be unable to attract new customers and/or retain existing customers; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
we
will require additional capital to finance strategic investments and operations, pursue business objectives and respond to business
opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances, and we cannot be sure that additional financing will be available; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
our
historical growth rates may not be reflective of our future growth; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
our
business and operating results may be significantly impacted by general economic conditions, the health of the U.S. aviation and
data center industries and associated risks; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
litigation
or investigations involving us could result in material settlements, fines or penalties and may adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
existing
or new adverse regulations or interpretations thereof applicable to the aviation and data center industries may restrict our ability
to expand or to operate our business as intended and may expose us to fines and other penalties; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
the
occurrence of geopolitical events such as war, terrorism, civil unrest, political instability, environmental or climatic factors,
natural disaster, pandemic or epidemic outbreak, public health crisis and general economic conditions may have an adverse effect
on our business; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
some
of our potential losses may not be covered by insurance, and we may be unable to obtain or maintain adequate insurance coverage;
and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
we
are potentially subject to taxation-related risks in multiple jurisdictions, and changes in tax laws could have a material adverse
effect on our business, cash flow, results of operations or financial condition. | |
| 15 | | |
| | |
****
**Our
business is primarily focused on certain targeted geographic regions, making it vulnerable to risks associated with having geographically
concentrated operations.**
Our
historic customer base is primarily concentrated in the southwestern region of the United States. As a result, our business, financial
condition and results of operations are susceptible to regional economic downturns and other regional factors, including state regulations
and budget constraints and severe weather conditions, catastrophic events or other disruptions. As we seek to expand in our existing
markets, opportunities for growth within these regions will become more limited and the geographic concentration of our business may
increase.
**Our
business and reputation rely on, and will continue to rely on, third parties.**
We
have relied on a third-party app developer to develop the initial versions of our app and we may continue to rely on third parties for
future development of portions of any new or revised app. In place of a third-party app developer, we rely both on internal development
and freelance contractors supervised by our Chief Technology Officer. We intend to continue to build our internal development team and
to gradually decrease our reliance on external contractors for app development. If there were delays or complications in the further
development of our app, this might result in difficulties that include, but are not limited to, the following:
| 
| 
| 
Increased
Development Costs: Extended development timelines can result in higher costs associated with personnel, software licenses, hardware,
and other development resources. Delays may require additional investments to address technical issues, hire more personnel, or acquire
additional technology or expertise to expedite the development process. These increased costs may negatively impact our financial
performance and profitability. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Missed
Time-to-Market Opportunities: Delays in app development may cause us to miss strategic market windows, limiting our ability to capture
early adopters and gain a competitive advantage. Competitors may seize the opportunity to launch similar apps, potentially eroding
our market share and diminishing our growth prospects. Our ability to generate revenue and establish a strong market presence may
be compromised as a result. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Customer
Dissatisfaction and Loss of Trust: If delays or complications prolong the release of new versions of our app, it may lead to customer
frustration and disappointment. Use of the app may diminish, and users may turn to alternative solutions or competitors. Customer
dissatisfaction can harm our reputation and brand image, resulting in a loss of trust and reducing customer loyalty and engagement
with our products and services. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Negative
Impact on Revenue and Financial Performance: A delay in launching revisions of our app or other software products may impact our
revenue projections, financial forecasts, and investment plans. The inability to generate expected revenue streams can adversely
affect our cash flow, profitability, and ability to meet financial obligations or raise additional capital. Our valuation and attractiveness
to investors may also be negatively impacted. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Opportunity
Costs and Competitive Disadvantage: Time spent on addressing delays and complications diverts managements attention and resources
away from other strategic initiatives or product developments. We may miss out on potential partnership opportunities, market expansions,
or product enhancements, resulting in missed revenue and growth opportunities. Competitors may gain a competitive advantage over
us. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Loss
of Investor Confidence: Extended delays or ongoing complications may erode investor confidence in our ability to execute our business
plan successfully. Investors may question our managements capability, resulting in reduced investor interest, difficulty in
raising funds, and a potential decline in our stock price. The loss of investor confidence can have broader implications for our
overall financial stability and long-term viability. | |
We
also rely heavily on our existing operating partner, Cirrus, to maintain and operate our aircraft for charter services and we rely on
third party operators when our clients book flights through our platform with those operators. The failure of these third parties to
perform these roles properly may result in damage to our reputation, loss of clients, potential litigation and other costs. We may also
experience delays, defects, errors, or other problems with their work that could have an adverse effect on our results and our ability
to achieve profitability.
****
| 16 | | |
| | |
****
**We
rely on third-party Internet, mobile, and other products and services to deliver our mobile and web applications and flight management
system offerings to customers, and any disruption of, or interference with, our use of those services could adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations, and customers.**
Our
technology platforms continuing and uninterrupted performance has been critical to our success. That platform is dependent on
the performance and reliability of Internet, mobile, and other infrastructure services that are not under our control. While we have
engaged reputable vendors to provide these products or services, we do not have control over the operations of the facilities or systems
used by third-party providers. These facilities and systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural disasters, cybersecurity
attacks, human error, terrorist attacks, power outages, pandemics, and similar events or acts of misconduct. In addition, any changes
in one of our third-party service providers service levels may adversely affect our ability to meet the requirements of our customers.
While we believe we have implemented reasonable backup and disaster recovery plans, we have experienced, and expect that in the future
we will experience, interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability from time to time due to a variety of factors, including
infrastructure changes, human or software errors, website hosting disruptions, capacity constraints, or external factors beyond our control.
Sustained or repeated system failures would reduce the attractiveness of our offerings and could disrupt our customers businesses.
It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our performance, especially during peak usage times, as we expand our products
and service offerings. Any negative publicity or user dissatisfaction arising from these disruptions could harm our reputation and brand,
may adversely affect the usage of our offerings, and could harm our business, financial condition and results of operation.
**We
rely on third parties maintaining open marketplaces to distribute our mobile and web applications.**
****
The
success of CharterGPT relies in part on third parties maintaining open marketplaces, including the Apple App Store and Google Play, which
make our app available for download. We cannot be assured that the marketplaces through which we distribute CharterGPT will maintain
their current structures or that such marketplaces will not charge us fees to list CharterGPT for download.
****
**We
may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property interests or may be found infringing on the intellectual property interests
of others.**
****
Our
intellectual property may include trademarks, domain names, website, mobile and web applications, software (including our proprietary
algorithms and data analytics engines), copyrights, trade secrets, and inventions (whether or not patentable). We believe that our intellectual
property plays an important role in protecting our brand and the competitiveness of our business. If we do not adequately protect our
intellectual property, our brand and reputation may be adversely affected and our ability to compete effectively may be impaired.
We
protect our intellectual property through a combination of trademarks, domain names and other measures. We have registered our trademarks
and domain names that we currently use in the United States. Our efforts may not be sufficient or effective. Further, we may be unable
to prevent competitors from acquiring trademarks or domain names that are similar to or diminish the value of our intellectual property.
In addition, it may be possible for other parties to copy or reverse engineer our applications or other technology offerings. Moreover,
our proprietary algorithms, data analytics engines, or other software or trade secrets may be compromised by third parties or our employees,
which could cause us to lose any competitive advantage we may have from them.
In
addition, our business is subject to the risk of third parties infringing our intellectual property. We may not always be successful
in securing protection for, or identifying or stopping infringements of, its intellectual property and we may need to resort to litigation
in the future to enforce our rights in this regard. Any such litigation could result in significant costs and a diversion of resources.
Further, such enforcement efforts may result in a ruling that our intellectual property rights are unenforceable.
Moreover,
companies in the aviation and technology industries are frequently subject to litigation based on allegations of intellectual property
infringement, misappropriation, or other violations. As we expand and raise our profile, the likelihood of intellectual property claims
being asserted against us grows. Further, we may acquire or introduce new technology offerings, which may increase our exposure to patent
and other intellectual property claims. Any intellectual property claims asserted against us, whether or not having any merit, could
be time-consuming and expensive to settle or litigate. If we are unsuccessful in defending such a claim, we may be required to pay substantial
damages or could be subject to an injunction or agree to a settlement that may prevent us from using our intellectual property or making
our offerings available to customers. Some intellectual property claims may require us to seek a license to continue our operations,
and those licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or may significantly increase our operating expenses. If we
are unable to procure a license, we may be required to develop non-infringing technological alternatives, which could require significant
time and expense. Any of these events could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operations.

****
**A
delay or failure to identify and devise, invest in and implement certain important technology, business, and other initiatives could
have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.**
In
order to operate our business, achieve our goals, and remain competitive, we continuously seek to identify and devise, invest in, implement
and pursue technology, business and other important initiatives, such as those relating to aircraft fleet structuring, data centers,
business processes, information technology, initiatives seeking to ensure high quality service experience, and others.
Our
legacy business, and intended future business, is characterized by changing technology, introductions and enhancements of products and
services, and shifting customer demands, including technology preferences. Our future growth and financial performance will depend in
part upon our ability to develop, market and integrate new services and to accommodate the latest technological advances and customer
preferences. In addition, the introduction of new technologies or services that compete with our products and services could result in
our revenues decreasing over time. If we are unable to upgrade the products and services we offer with the latest technological advances
in a timely manner, or at all, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.
**We
are dependent on our information systems which may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks or other events.**
Our
operations are dependent on our information systems and the information collected, processed, stored, and handled by these systems. We
rely heavily on our computer systems to manage our client account balances, booking, pricing, processing and other processes. We receive,
retain, and transmit certain confidential information, including personally identifiable information that our clients provide. In addition,
for these operations, we depend in part on the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks to charter operators.
Our information systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, facility damage, computer and telecommunications failures,
computer viruses, security breaches, including credit card or personally identifiable information breaches, coordinated cyber-attacks,
vandalism, catastrophic events and human error. If our platform is hacked, these funds could be at risk of being stolen which would damage
our reputation and, likely, our business. Any significant disruption or cyber-attacks on our information systems, particularly those
involving confidential information being accessed, obtained, damaged, or used by unauthorized or improper persons, could harm our reputation
and expose us to regulatory or legal actions and adversely affect our business and financial results.
**Because
our software could be used to collect and store personal information, privacy concerns in the jurisdictions in which we operate could
result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our software.**
The
regulatory framework for privacy issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Many
government bodies and agencies have adopted or are considering adopting laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, storage and
disclosure of personal information and breach notification procedures. We are also required to comply with laws, rules and regulations
relating to data security. Interpretation of these laws, rules and regulations and their application to our products and services in
applicable jurisdictions is ongoing and cannot be fully determined at this time. In the United States, for example, rules and regulations
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 relate 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 new 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 privacy laws
could impact our business as such laws are interpreted. In expanding our operations, compliance with privacy laws may increase our operating
costs.
**Changes
to applicable tax laws and regulations or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our business and future profitability.**
****
We
are a U.S. corporation and thus subject to U.S. corporate income tax on our worldwide income. Further, since our operations and customers
are located throughout the United States, we are subject to various U.S. state and local taxes. U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S.
tax laws, policies, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us and
may have an adverse effect on our business and future profitability.
| 18 | | |
| | |
For
example, several tax proposals have been set forth that would, if enacted, make significant changes to U.S. tax laws. Congress may consider,
and could include, some or all of these proposals in connection with tax reform that may be undertaken. It is unclear whether these or
similar changes will be enacted and, if enacted, how soon any such changes could take effect. The passage of any legislation as a result
of these proposals and other similar changes in U.S. federal income tax laws could adversely affect our business and future profitability.
****
**In
the event that our business expands domestically or internationally, including to jurisdictions in which tax laws may not be favorable,
our obligations may change or fluctuate, become significantly more complex or become subject to greater risk of examination by taxing
authorities, any of which could adversely affect our after-tax profitability and financial results.**
****
In
the event that our business expands domestically or internationally, our effective tax rates may fluctuate widely in the future. Future
effective tax rates could be affected by operating losses in jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recorded under U.S. GAAP, changes
in deferred tax assets and liabilities, or changes in tax laws. Factors that could materially affect our future effective tax rates include,
but are not limited to: (a) changes in tax laws or the regulatory environment, (b) changes in accounting and tax standards or practices,
(c) changes in the composition of operating income by tax jurisdiction and (d) pre-tax operating results of our business.
Additionally,
we may be subject to significant income, withholding, and other tax obligations in the United States and may become subject to taxation
in numerous additional U.S. state and local and non-U.S. jurisdictions with respect to income, operations and subsidiaries related to
those jurisdictions. Our after-tax profitability and financial results could be subject to volatility or be affected by numerous factors,
including (a) the availability of tax deductions, credits, exemptions, refunds and other benefits to reduce tax liabilities, (b) changes
in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if any, (c) the expected timing and amount of the release of any tax valuation
allowances, (d) the tax treatment of stock-based compensation, (e) changes in the relative amount of earnings subject to tax in the various
jurisdictions, (f) the potential business expansion into, or otherwise becoming subject to tax in, additional jurisdictions, (g) changes
to existing intercompany structure (and any costs related thereto) and business operations, (h) the extent of intercompany transactions
and the extent to which taxing authorities in relevant jurisdictions respect those intercompany transactions, and (i) the ability to
structure business operations in an efficient and competitive manner. Outcomes from audits or examinations by taxing authorities could
have an adverse effect on our after-tax profitability and financial condition. Additionally, the IRS and several foreign tax authorities
have increasingly focused attention on intercompany transfer pricing with respect to sales of products and services and the use of intangibles.
Tax authorities could disagree with our intercompany charges, cross-jurisdictional transfer pricing or other matters and assess additional
taxes. If we do not prevail in any such disagreements, our profitability may be affected.
Our
after-tax profitability and financial results may also be adversely affected by changes in relevant tax laws and tax rates, treaties,
regulations, administrative practices and principles, judicial decisions and interpretations thereof, in each case, possibly with retroactive
effect.
****
**Our
ability to utilize net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.**
****
In
general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a corporation that undergoes an ownership change
is subject to limitations on its ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards (**NOLs**) to
offset future taxable income. The limitations apply if a corporation undergoes an ownership change, which is generally
defined as a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in our equity ownership by certain stockholders over a three year period.
If we experience such an ownership change, we may be subject to limitations on our ability to utilize our existing NOLs and other tax
attributes to offset taxable income or tax liability. In addition, future changes in our stock ownership, which may be outside of our
control, may trigger an ownership change. Similar provisions of state tax law may also apply to limit our use of accumulated state tax
attributes. As a result, even if we earn net taxable income in the future, our ability to use our pre-change NOL carryforwards and other
tax attributes to offset such taxable income or tax liability may be subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased
future income tax liability.
****
**Our
primary assets include our direct and indirect interests in our subsidiaries and, accordingly, we are dependent upon distributions from
our subsidiaries to pay taxes and cover our corporate and other overhead expenses.**
We
have historically operated as holding company with minimal assets other than our direct and indirect equity interests in our subsidiaries.
We currently do not have any independent means of generating revenue. To the extent our operating subsidiaries have available cash, we
cause our subsidiaries to make distributions of cash to pay taxes, cover our corporate and other overhead expenses, and otherwise fund
our commitments. To the extent that we need funds and our subsidiaries fail to generate sufficient cash flow to distribute funds to us
or are restricted from making such distributions or payments under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of their financing
arrangements, or are otherwise unable to provide such funds, our liquidity and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

****
**We
have made a significant investment in the sponsor of a blank check company commonly referred to as a special purpose acquisition company
(SPAC) and will suffer the loss of all of our investment if the SPAC does not complete an initial business combination
by April 6, 2027.**
****
In
July 2025, we made a capital contribution of approximately $2.7 million in AIIA Sponsor Ltd. (Sponsor), that served as
the sponsor of AI Acquisition. The capital contribution was made to fund, in part, Sponsors purchase of private placement units
comprised of Class A ordinary shares and rights to receive additional Class A ordinary shares of AI Acquisition as part of the sponsorship
of AI Acquisition. We own an approximate 49.9% interest in the Sponsor, and in turn the Sponsor owns approximately 25% of the outstanding
ordinary shares of AI Acquisition.
There
is no assurance that AI Acquisition will be successful in completing a business combination or that any business combination will be
successful. We could lose our entire investment in Sponsor if a business combination is not completed by April 6, 2027 (unless AI Acquisition
receives shareholder approval of an extension to the business combination deadline), or if the business combination is not successful,
which would materially adversely impact our shareholder value.
**Our
use of fair value accounting of our indirect investment in AI Acquisition could result in income statement volatility, which in turn,
could cause significant market price and trading volume fluctuations for our common stock.**
Our
beneficial interest in AII Acquisition is recorded at fair value with changes in fair value being recorded in the consolidated statement
of operations during the period of change. Our management makes a significant judgment and assumption that a business combination is
more than likely to occur, on the premise that historical statistical data indicates a significant percentage of special purpose acquisition
companies accomplishes a business combination. The fair value calculation of our beneficial interest in AI Acquisition ordinary shares
and rights is dependent on company-specific adjustments applied to the observable trading prices of AI Infrastructures ordinary
shares and public rights. We rely on an independent valuation specialist who estimates that a discount of 25% sufficiently captures the
risk or profit that a market participant would require as compensation for assuming the inherent risk of forfeiture if a business combination
does not occur and the lack of marketability of our beneficial interest in Sponsor. We classify the investment in AI Acquisition as Level
3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the unobservable input of the company-specific adjustment. However, we can lose our entire investment
if a business combination is not completed by April 6, 2027 (unless AI Acquisition receives shareholder approval of an extension to the
business combination deadline), or if the business combination is not successful. Additionally, the fair value of the investment must
be remeasured quarterly. Because of this, our earnings may experience greater volatility in the future as a decline in the fair value
of our investment in AI Acquisition could significantly reduce both our earnings and shareholders equity, which in turn, could
cause significant market price and trading volume fluctuations for our securities.
**Our
failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in the future could harm our business.**
****
We
believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability to retain or attract highly qualified management, technical
and other personnel. We may not be successful in retaining key personnel or in attracting other highly qualified personnel. If we are
unable to retain or attract significant numbers of qualified management and other personnel, we may not be able to grow and expand our
business.
**Risks
Related to Our Legacy Charter Business Operating Environment**
****
**Demand
for our aviation services may decline due to factors beyond our control.**
****
Like
other charter aviation companies, our business is affected by factors beyond our control, including air traffic congestion at airports,
airport slot restrictions, air traffic control inefficiencies, fuel costs, availability of pilots, maintenance costs, natural disasters,
adverse weather conditions, increased and changing security measures, changing regulatory and governmental requirements, new or changing
travel-related taxes, terrorism or the outbreak of disease. Demand for private jet charters may be negatively impacted by any of these
or other factors affecting air travel generally. If charter travel remains in a general decline for a significant period of time, we
may be unable to compete with more established operators and may not be able to achieve profitability in the medium term or at all.
| 20 | | |
| | |
More
broadly, business jet travel is highly correlated to the performance of the economy, and an economic downturn, such as the current economic
environment, which has been adversely affected by high rates of inflation, increasing interest rates, and low consumer sentiment, is
likely to have a direct impact on the use of business jets. Our clients may consider private air travel to be a luxury item, especially
when compared to commercial air travel. As a result, any economic downturn that has an adverse effect on consumer spending habits could
cause them to travel less frequently and, to the extent they travel, to travel using commercial air carriers or other means considered
to be more economical than private air charter travel.
In
the United States, the federal government singularly controls all U.S. airspace, and aviation operators are dependent on the FAA to operate
that airspace in a safe, efficient and affordable manner. The air traffic control system, which is operated by the FAA, faces challenges
in managing the growing demand for U.S. air travel. U.S. air-traffic controllers often rely on outdated technologies that routinely overwhelm
the system and compel aviation operators to fly inefficient, indirect routes resulting in delays and increased operational cost. In addition,
Congress has previously considered implementing regulations that could potentially lead to the privatization of the United States
air traffic control system, which could adversely affect our business.
Any
factors that cause the demand for private jet travel to decline may also result in delays that could reduce the attractiveness of private
air charter travel versus other means of transportation, particularly for shorter distance travel, which represents our primary market
currently. Delays increase operating costs and decrease revenues in addition to frustrating passengers, which could affect our reputation
and potentially reduce fleet utilization and charter bookings as a result of flight cancellations. We may experience decreased demand,
as well as a loss of reputation, in the event of an accident involving an aircraft booked through our platform or any actual or alleged
misuse of our platform by customers in violation of law. Demand for our services may also decline due to actions that increase the cost
of private air charter travel versus other forms of transportation, particularly efforts aimed at addressing climate change such as carbon
tax initiatives or other actions. Any of the foregoing circumstances or events which reduced the demand for private jet charters could
negatively impact our ability to establish our business and achieve profitability. These circumstances or events may affect us to a greater
degree than our competitors, who may be able to recover more quickly. Any general reduction in passenger traffic could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
****
**We
face a high level of competition with numerous market participants with greater financial resources and operating experience.**
****
The
private air travel industry is extraordinarily competitive. Factors that affect competition in this industry include price, reliability,
safety, regulations, professional reputation, aircraft availability, equipment and quality, consistency and ease of service, willingness
and ability to serve specific airports or regions, and investment requirements. We compete against private jet charter and fractional
jet companies as well as business jet charter companies. Both the private jet charter companies and the business jet charter companies
have numerous competitive advantages that enable them to attract customers. Our access to a smaller aircraft fleet and regional focus
puts us at a competitive disadvantage, particularly with respect to our appeal to business travelers who want to travel overseas.
Generally,
fractional private jet companies and many business jet charter companies have access to larger fleets of aircraft and have greater financial
resources, which would permit them to more effectively service customers. Due to our relatively small size, we are more susceptible to
their competitive activities, which could prevent us from attaining the level of business required to sustain profitable operations.
Prior
consolidation in the industry, and increased consolidation in the future could further intensify the competitive environment we face.
There can be no assurance that our competitors will not be successful in capturing a share of our present or potential customer base.
The materialization of any of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
****

****
**The
operation of aircraft is subject to various risks, and failure to maintain an acceptable safety record may have an adverse impact on
our ability to obtain and retain customers.**
The
operation of aircraft is subject to various risks, including catastrophic disasters, crashes, mechanical failures and collisions, which
may result in loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property and equipment. Private charters booked utilizing our services may
experience accidents in the future. These risks could endanger the safety of our customers, personnel, third parties, equipment, cargo
and other property, as well as the environment. If any of these events were to occur, we could experience loss of revenue, termination
of customer contracts, higher insurance rates, litigation, regulatory investigations and enforcement actions (including potential grounding
of the fleet we utilize and suspension or revocation of operating authorities) and damage to our reputation and customer relationships.
In addition, to the extent an accident occurs with an aircraft we charter, we could be held liable for resulting damages, which may involve
claims from injured passengers and survivors of deceased passengers. There can be no assurance that the amount of our insurance coverage
available in the event of such losses would be adequate to cover such losses, or that we would not be forced to bear substantial losses
from such events, regardless of our insurance coverage.
Moreover,
any aircraft accident or incident, even if fully insured, and whether involving us or other private aircraft operators, could create
a public perception that we offer less safe or less reliable charter options than other private aircraft operators, which could cause
customers to lose confidence and switch to other private aircraft operators or other means of transportation. In addition, any aircraft
accident or incident, whether involving us or other private aircraft operators, could also affect the publics view of industry
safety, which may reduce the amount of trust by customers.
We
incur considerable costs through the monthly management fee paid to Cirrus to maintain the quality of safety and programs training programs
as well as the aircraft fleet we utilize. We cannot guarantee that these costs will not increase. Likewise, we cannot guarantee that
our efforts will provide an adequate level of safety or an acceptable safety record. If the fleet we utilize does not maintain an acceptable
safety record, we may not be able to retain existing customers or attract new customers, which could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
****
**If
efforts to continue to build a strong brand identity and improve member satisfaction and loyalty are not successful, we may not be able
to attract or retain members, and our operating results may be adversely affected.**
****
We
must continue to build and maintain strong brand identity for our products and services, which have expanded over time. We believe that
strong brand identity will continue to be important in attracting members. If our efforts to promote and maintain our brand are not successful,
our operating results and our ability to attract customers may be adversely affected. From time to time, our customers may express dissatisfaction
with our products and service offerings, in part due to factors that could be outside of our control, such as the timing and availability
of aircraft and service interruptions driven by prevailing political, regulatory, or natural conditions. To the extent dissatisfaction
with our products and services is widespread or not adequately addressed, our brand may be adversely impacted and our ability to attract
and retain customers may be adversely affected. With respect to our planned expansion into additional markets, we will also need to establish
our brand and, to the extent we are not successful, our business in new markets may be adversely impacted.
**Any
failure to offer high-quality customer support may harm our relationships with our customers and could adversely affect our reputation,
brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.**
Through
our marketing, advertising, and communications with our customers, we strive to set the tone for our brand as aspirational but also within
reach. We strive to create high levels of customer satisfaction through the experience provided by our team and representatives. The
ease and reliability of our offerings, including our ability to provide high-quality customer support, helps us attract and retain customers.
Our ability to provide effective and timely support is largely dependent on our ability to attract and retain skilled employees who can
support our customers and are sufficiently knowledgeable about our products and services. As we continue to grow our business and improve
our platform, we will face challenges related to providing quality support at an increased scale. Any failure to provide efficient customer
support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality support, could adversely affect our reputation, brand, business,
financial condition and results of operations.
**Changes
in laws or regulations affecting the aviation industry, or a failure to comply with any such laws or regulations, may adversely affect
our business, investments and results of operations.**
****
We
are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. Our business is subject to significant regulation
by the FAA, the TSA as well as know your customer obligations and other laws and regulations. The laws and regulations
concerning the selling of our products or services may change. If such changes occur, then our products or services may no longer be
profitable. In addition, we are required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of,
applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and
application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and
results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a
material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.

**Risks
Related to the flyExclusive Transactions and Us after the Closing of the Transactions**
****
**The
proposed Transactions with flyExclusive may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all.**
****
The
consummation of the proposed Transactions is subject to numerous conditions, including (1) the effectiveness of the registration statement
on Form S-4 filed by flyExclusive with the SEC in connection with the Transactions, (2) the approval by our stockholders of the Transactions,
and (3) other customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the Transactions will be consummated. If the Transactions
are not completed for any reason, the price of shares of our common stock may decline to the extent that the market price of shares of
our common stock reflects, or previously reflected positive market assumptions that the Transactions would be completed, and the related
benefits would be realized. In addition, we have expended and will continue to expend significant management time and resources and have
incurred and will continue to incur significant expenses due to legal, advisory, printing and financial services fees related to the
Transactions. These expenses must be paid regardless of whether the Transactions are consummated.
****
**In
the proposed Transactions with flyExclusive, we will divest substantially all of our fractional and jet card business and related assets,
together with associated working capital and thereafter adopt a business strategy that focuses on expanding our AI data-center operations.
Any or all of these decisions if incorrect may have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations, financial position and
cash flows, and pose further risks to the successful operation of our business over the short and long-term.**
****
There
are substantial risks associated with divesting a portion of our legacy assets and operations in the proposed Transactions with flyExclusive
and thereafter focusing primarily upon on opportunities in the AI sector, including the loss of working capital and the loss of revenue
associated with divesting our aviation centric assets. After the proposed Transactions are consummated, our management expects to focus
on opportunities in the AI data center sector, or that are complementary to that sector, and leverage our remaining assets in that process.
While our management team has experience in the software development and artificial intelligence sectors (including from our existing
booking platform app) there is no guarantee that our chosen strategy will be successful. Further, our business operations after the Transactions
will be significantly dependent on our ability to further penetrate the AI data center sector and identify and execute upon business
opportunities that are complementary to that sector, and the future market acceptance and sale of our existing or new AI data center-focused
applications, and implementing our business model, which, in some cases are neither fully developed nor in qualification stages. There
can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing these or any other significant risks we may encounter after the divestment
of certain assets to flyExclusive or the expansion of our AI data center-focused strategy.
****
**The
AI data center sector in which we expect to primarily focus after the Transactions is subject to significant risks, including rapid growth
and volatility, capital requirements, dependence on rapidly changing underling technologies, market and political risks and uncertainties
and extreme competition. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to anticipate or overcome any or all of these risks and uncertainties,
especially as a small company operating in an environment that includes many large, well-capitalized competitors with substantially more
resources.**
****
Developing
and then commercializing AI data center-focused technologies, services and products is subject to significant barriers to entry and operational
fluctuations. In order to become and then remain competitive, we will incur substantial costs associated with research and development,
qualification, prototype production capacity and sales and marketing activities in connection with our products and services. We may
also need to acquire new assets, or enter new agreements, to facilitate our entry into certain opportunities in the greater AI data center
sector. In addition, the rapidly changing industry, the length of time between developing and introducing a product to market, frequent
changing customer (or market driven) specifications for apps and products, customer cancellations of products and general down cycles
in the industry, among other things, make our future prospects difficult to evaluate. As a result of these factors, it is possible that
we may not (i) generate sufficient positive cash flow from operations; (ii) raise funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked
or convertible debt securities; or (iii) otherwise have sufficient capital resources to meet our future capital or liquidity needs. There
are no guarantees we will be able to generate additional financial resources beyond our existing balances.
****
| 23 | | |
| | |
****
**We
may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of the Transactions, and the Transactions may adversely impact our business.**
We
may not realize the strategic, financial, operational or other benefits from the Transactions that we hope to achieve. We are seeking
to divest certain assets and operations that have historically operated at a net loss, and thereafter primarily focus on the AI data
center sector while leveraging certain remaining intellectual property and software assets and expertise. We cannot predict with certainty
if or when anticipated benefits from the Transactions will occur or the extent to which they will be achieved. Following the completion
of the Transactions, our operational and financial profile will change, and we will face new risks. Following the completion of the Transactions,
we will initially be a smaller and less-diversified company compared to our company prior to the Transactions, and, may be more vulnerable
to changing market conditions. The business opportunities that we expect to pursue will likely require us to identify and execute on
additional sources of liquidity and are in industries or business sectors where we face barriers to entry and competition. While we believe
that the Transactions will allow us to focus on business opportunities on which we can more readily scale and capitalize, we cannot assure
you that following the Transactions we will be able to successfully identify any such opportunities or effect and capitalize on those
business opportunities.
****
**Particularly
after the Transactions, our success will be dependent on our ability to successfully develop (or acquire interests in) new services,
platforms and solutions that utilize AI and enhance or complement our existing services, platforms and solutions, and market acceptance
of these offerings.**
****
Although
we will retain various software and intellectual property assets after the Transactions and continue to offer our existing apps that
utilize AI, the software and AI industries are characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, changing customer
preferences, new product and service introductions and the emergence of new developers and vendors with lean cost and flexible cost models.
Our future success will depend on our ability to successfully develop services, platforms and solutions that utilize AI and/or attract
AI-oriented businesses that build upon or differ from our legacy aircraft fractional, jet card and management operations and keep pace
with changes in our addressable markets, and the acceptance of these services, platforms and solutions by existing and target customers.
We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in developing new applications, services, platforms and solutions, addressing evolving
technologies on a timely or cost-effective basis or, if these services, platforms and solutions are developed, that we will be successful
in the marketplace. We also cannot guarantee that we will be able to compete effectively with new developers or vendors offering lean
cost and flexible cost models, or that products, services or technologies developed by others will not render our services, platforms
and solutions non-competitive or obsolete. Our failure to address these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
****
**The
Transactions could give rise to disputes or other unfavorable effects, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
position or results of operations.**
****
After
the Transactions, we will have decreased working capital and will have divested certain of our revenue producing assets and operations.
However, we will continue to own and operate certain other of our legacy assets and continue to have operational expenses and overhead
(including the costs and expenses associated with being a publicly reporting company with a class of securities listed on Nasdaq), of
both a nonrecurring and a recurring nature, and certain of these expenses and costs are related to arrangements made between us and certain
of our existing vendors and strategic partners. Disputes with third parties could also arise out of these transactions, and we could
experience unfavorable reactions to any separation from employees, financing partners or other interested parties. These increased expenses,
changes to operations, disputes with third parties or other effects could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position
or results of operations.
****
**Risks
Related to Our Anticipated Data Center Operations**
****
**Our
focus on the development of data centers, and provision of AI data center services represents an evolving business model and strategy.**
We
began transitioning our focus into the AI data center market in the second quarter of 2025, which represents a significant evolution
in our business strategy. As AI solutions become more widely available, we expect services and products related to such assets to continue
to evolve, and we expect that our business model will also need to evolve. Our expansion and focus on the AI data center industry may
take longer or be more expensive than we currently anticipate as a result of evolving market conditions, technological developments,
customer requirements, our evolving business model or otherwise, and any such expansion may also have an impact on our ongoing private
charter business. Factors including inflation, tariffs, and interest rates may all impact the amount of capital required and the terms
upon which we can obtain such capital. We will continue to review our expansion plans in light of such factors, and our expansion plans
may be delayed or may change as a result. There is no assurance that our expansion into AI data center operations, and any other changes
in our business model or modifications to our strategy, will be successful or that they will not result in harm to our business. Even
if successful, such changes and modifications may increase the complexity of our business and place significant strain on our management,
personnel, operations, systems, technical performance, financial resources and internal financial control and reporting functions.
| 24 | | |
| | |
Moreover,
we may not be able to manage growth effectively, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth and adversely affect our operating
results. As a result, we are subject to many risks common to growing companies, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations
concerning personnel, financial and other resources and lack of revenues and limited profitability or losses. Further, we cannot provide
any assurance that we will successfully identify all emerging trends and growth opportunities within the AI data center market or other
markets we seek to expand into, and we may lose out on such opportunities. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect
on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
**Our
AI data center services strategy may take significant time and expenditure to implement, and our efforts may not be successful**
Our
growth strategy includes expanding and diversifying our revenue sources into new markets, and we are continuing to attempt to diversify
into the AI data center market pursuant to that strategy. The continued development of our existing projects and planned facilities to
implement that strategy is subject to various factors beyond our control. There may be difficulties in integrating new equipment into
existing infrastructure, constraints on our ability to connect to or procure the expected electricity supply capacity at facilities,
defects in design, construction or installed equipment, diversion of management resources, insufficient funding or other resource constraints.
Actual costs for development may exceed our planned budget. In particular, our ability to utilize existing data centers could be challenging
and may require retrofits, alterations or other custom designed solutions to enable the operating environment to function for our requirements,
which may not be possible or may be cost prohibitive.
We
intend to execute on our growth strategy in part by acquiring and developing data center sites, taking into account a number of important
characteristics such as availability of energy, electrical infrastructure and related costs, geographic location and the local regulatory
environment. We may have difficulty finding sites that satisfy our requirements at a commercially viable price or our timing requirements.
Furthermore, there may be significant competition for suitable data center sites, and government regulators, including local permitting
officials, may restrict our ability to set up data center operations in certain locations.
In
addition, our ability to complete the purchase of sites may ultimately fail due to factors beyond our control (for example, due to non-fulfilment
of contractual conditions precedent and default or non-performance by counterparties). In addition, estimated power availability at sites
secured could be materially less than initially expected, available too late, delayed, or not available in each case whether at sustainable
cost or at all. Furthermore, the ability to secure connection agreements to access such power sources and permits, approvals and/or licenses
to construct and operate our facilities could be delayed by regulatory approval processes, may not be successful or may be cost prohibitive.
Development
and construction delays, increased development and construction costs, cost overruns, changes in market circumstances, availability and
cost of construction materials, environmental or community constraints, an inability to find suitable and feasible data center locations
as part of our expansion and other factors may adversely affect our growth plans as well as our operations, financial position and financial
performance. We will continue to review our growth strategy expansion plans in light of evolving market conditions. Any such delays,
and any failure to execute on our growth strategy and expansion plans, could adversely impact our business, financial condition, cash
flows and results of operations.
**In
the AI and data center sector our business model is expected to rely significantly on other companies to enter into joint ventures with
us for data center projects. Therefore, our results are subject to the additional risks associated with the financial condition, operational
expertise and priorities of our joint venture partners.**
****
The
success of projects held under joint ventures that are not operated by us are substantially dependent on the joint venture partner, over
which we have limited or no control. Our interests in the Midwest data center project and the Maritime data center project are subject
to our joint venture arrangement with Consensus Core and we do not have full management control over those projects. We expect that other
projects that we pursue will also be with joint venture partners. Although our joint venture agreement provides certain voting rights
and other minority-interest safeguards, the majority partner and/or operator not only manages operations, but controls most decisions,
including budgets and scope and pace of exploration and other activities. Consequently, we are dependent on the operational expertise
and financial condition of our joint venture partners, as well as their priorities. Therefore, as it relates to the data center projects
that we joint venture, our results are (and will be) subject to the additional risks associated with the financial condition, operational
expertise and priorities of our joint venture partners, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results
of operations.

**Our
increased focus on the AI data center market may not be successful and may result in adverse consequences to our business, results of
operations and financial condition.**
Our
growth strategy includes expanding and diversifying our revenue sources into new markets, and we are continuing to attempt to diversify
into the broader AI data center market sector pursuant to that strategy. In particular, we are utilizing certain existing infrastructure
and intend to build out new infrastructure to develop and offer data center services to a broad range of customers for a variety of applications,
which may include scientific research, engineering, rendering, machine learning, and other AI cloud service providers. We believe our
future success will depend in part on our ability to execute on our growth strategy and expand into new markets.
We
have limited experience in developing and offering AI data center services, or acquiring the relevant components to develop an offering
of such services for customers in various industries and markets. We may experience difficulties with infrastructure development or modification,
engineering, product design, product development, marketing or certification, which could result in excessive research and development
expenses and capital expenditure, delays or prevent us from developing and offering data center services at all. For example, we may
need to make modifications to existing data centers, or modify the design of new data centers, in order to meet customer requirements
for services or provide a competitive offering of services. Any such modifications (if possible at all) may involve significant capital
expenditures, and may result in increased cost of our facilities, delays in our development and construction schedules for our new facilities,
or outages at existing data centers. Further, any such modifications could adversely impact the performance of our data centers, including
cooling systems and electrical performance, among others. Our focus on developing and offering AI data center services may also disrupt
our business, divert our resources, and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for utilization within
and development of our existing business. It may also impact our energy strategy, including limiting our ability to curtail energy use
and require a different strategy for hedging in the electricity markets in which we operate. Additionally, our ability to develop and
offer AI data center services relies on third-party components for which there are limited suppliers, which require significant capital
expenditure and may be difficult to procure given the current elevated demand. We may be unable to raise the required capital for the
development and offer of AI data center services.
The
market for AI data center services is driven in large part by demand for data center space capable of supporting graphics processing
units (**GPUs**), server clusters, specialized or high-performance applications, and hosted software solutions
which require fast and efficient data processing, and is characterized by rapid advances in technologies. It is difficult to predict
the development of demand for AI data center services, the size and growth rate for this market, the entry of competitive products, or
the success of any existing or future products that may compete with any services we may develop. There has been an increasing number
of competitors providing AI data center services, which has resulted in increasing competition and pricing pressure that may cause us
to reduce our pricing in order to remain competitive. Meanwhile, if there is a reduction in demand for any of these services, whether
caused by a lack of customer acceptance, a slowdown in demand for computational power, an overabundance of unused computational power,
advancements in technology, technological challenges, competing technologies and solutions, decreases in corporate and customer spending,
weakening economic conditions or otherwise, it could result in reduced customer orders, early order cancellations, the loss of customers,
or decreased sales, any of which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
**Expansion
of our business strategy into the AI data center market could increase competitive, operational, legal and regulatory risks to our business
in ways we cannot predict.**
As
we continue to enter into the AI data center market, competitive, operational, legal and regulatory risks may be exacerbated as there
is substantial uncertainty about the extent to which AI will result in changes that come with risks that we may not be able to anticipate,
prevent, mitigate or remediate.
We
will face new sources of competition, new business models and new customer relationships, and our competitors may be larger, have longer
operating histories and significantly greater resources than we do. In order to be successful, we will need to cultivate new industry
relationships and strengthen existing relationships to bring any new solutions and offerings to market, and the success of any services
we develop will depend on many factors, including demand for those solutions, our ability to win and maintain customers, and the cost,
performance and perceived value of any such services. As a result, there can be no assurance that any AI data center services we develop
will be adopted by the market, or be profitable or viable. Our limited experience with respect to the provision of data center services
could limit our ability to successfully execute on this growth strategy or adapt to market changes. If we are unsuccessful in continuing
to develop and offer AI data center services, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Further, an increased focus on AI data center services could displace or reduce our existing aircraft operations, which may adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
| 26 | | |
| | |
Our
investments in developing and offering AI data center services may result in new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, litigation,
confidentiality or security risks, ethical concerns or other complications that could adversely affect our business, reputation, results
of operations or financial condition. The increasing focus on the risks and strategic importance of certain AI services, such as AI cloud
services, and AI or machine learning technologies, has already resulted in regulatory restrictions that target products and services
capable of enabling or facilitating AI and machine learning, and may in the future result in additional restrictions impacting any offerings
we may develop, including AI cloud services and other solutions. Complying with multiple evolving laws, rules and regulations from different
jurisdictions related to new solutions that we develop could increase our cost of doing business or may change the way that we operate
in certain jurisdictions. We may not be able to adequately anticipate or respond to these evolving laws and regulations, and we may need
to expend additional resources to adjust our offerings in certain jurisdictions if applicable legal frameworks are inconsistent across
jurisdictions.
For
example, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, Department of Justice, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission issued a joint statement on AI, demonstrating their interest in monitoring the development and use of automated systems and
enforcement of their respective laws and regulations. Such regulatory frameworks, as well as developing regulatory guidance and judicial
decisions in this area, may affect our use of AI and our ability to provide and to improve our products and solutions, require additional
compliance measures and changes to our operations and processes, result in increased compliance costs and potential increases in civil
claims against us and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore,
concerns regarding third-party use of AI for purposes contrary to governmental and societal interests, including concerns relating to
the misuse of AI applications, models, and solutions, could result in restrictions on AI products. Any such restrictions could reduce
the demand for our intended AI data center services, and negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results, and
damage our reputation.
It
is also unclear how our status as an infrastructure provider for customers developing and deploying AI applications, as opposed to developing
such applications ourselves, could affect the applicability of these existing or proposed regulatory frameworks and other restrictions
with respect to any services we may offer from time to time. However, it is possible that such regimes will impose obligations on infrastructure
providers, such as us, to oversee, monitor or restrict the use of AI systems that are trained or deployed on their systems, and/or to
ensure compliance with such regulatory frameworks and other restrictions. If our customers violate existing or proposed regulatory regimes
or other restrictions, or if they use our services for unlawful, harmful or non-compliant purposes, we could be subject to regulatory
investigations, regulatory fines, reputational damage or contractual liability for any such actions, even if we do not control the customer
applications. Further, AI data center customers increasingly are looking to pass through their regulatory obligations and other liabilities
to their outsourced data center providers, and we may not be able to limit our liability or damages in an event of loss suffered by such
customers whether as a result of our breach of an agreement or otherwise.
These
competitive, operational, legal and regulatory risks are evolving and uncertain and could impact our business in ways we cannot predict.
Any of the foregoing could limit our ability to expand our offering of AI data center services and continue to grow our business, which
could have a material adverse effect on prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
**Changing
political and geopolitical conditions, including changing international trade policies and the implementation of wide-ranging, reciprocal
and retaliatory tariffs, surtaxes and other similar import or export duties, or trade restrictions, could adversely impact our business,
prospects, operations and financial performance, specifically as it relates to the development and provision of AI data center services.**
Changes
in political and geopolitical conditions may be difficult to predict and may adversely affect our business, prospects, operations and
financial performance. For example, changes in political and geopolitical conditions may lead to changes in governmental policies, laws
and regulations, including with respect to sanctions, taxes, tariffs, surtaxes and other similar import or export duties, import and
export controls or restrictions, tariff rate quotas, and the general movement of goods, materials, services and capital, or may lead
to uncertainty as to the potential for such changes. Our joint venture with Consensus Core involves our acquisition of equity interests
in data centers located in Canada. Accordingly, our business, prospects, operations and financial condition may be significantly impacted
by such changes in political and geopolitical conditions, and in particular by changes in international trade policies, including the
imposition of tariffs, surcharges and other similar import or export duties, or trade restrictions including tariff rate quotas, as well
as by uncertainty with respect to the potential for such changes.

****
**Our
anticipated data center business is expected to have significant customer concentration.**
We
believe that we will generate a large portion of our revenue from our AI data center interests and operations from a small number of
customers. There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenue is concentrated with a limited number of customers.
If we were to lose one or more of our customers, our operating results could be materially adversely affected.
We
expect that the limited number of customers will account for a high percentage of our revenue in the future. In addition, demand for
our services generated by these customers may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. The anticipated concentration of our customer
base increases risks related to the financial condition of our customers, and the deterioration in financial condition of a single customer
or the failure of a single customer to perform its obligations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and
cash flow. In the event that any of our future customers experience a decline in their equipment usage for any reason, or decide to discontinue
the use of our facilities, we may be compelled to lower our prices or risk losing a significant customer. Such developments could adversely
affect our profit margins and financial position, leading to a negative impact on our revenue and operational results.
**We
may be unable to raise additional capital needed to fulfill our capital or liquidity needs or grow our business and achieve the expansion
plans we have for the development and provision of AI data center services.**
We
will need to raise additional capital to pursue our planned and potential growth strategies (such as our expansion into the AI data center
market), including to fund additional construction at existing or new sites / projects, to develop new sites to increase our data center
capacity, and to fund the purchase of additional equipment to increase operating capacity, continue our development of AI data center
services and potentially expand into new markets. In particular, constructing data center facilities for AI services requires significant
capital expenditures when compared to capital expenditures for our legacy aircraft charter business.
We
may seek to raise additional capital through future offerings of securities (including potentially convertible debt securities) that
could rank senior to our shares of Common Stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation or have various dividend preferences. An issuance
of additional equity securities or securities with a right to convert into equity, such as convertible bonds or warrant bonds, could
adversely affect the market price of our shares of Common Stock and would dilute the economic and voting interests of shareholders. We
may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness or to take other actions including terms that
require us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios that could otherwise not be in the interests of our shareholders. As the timing
and nature of any future offering would depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, it is not possible to predict
or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of future offerings. Ultimately, we may not be able to obtain additional debt, equity or equity-linked
financing, or other forms of financing, on favorable terms, if at all, which could impair our growth and our development of AI data center
services, adversely affect our existing operations and requiring us to seek additional capital, sell assets or restructure or refinance
our indebtedness. In addition, if the terms of additional financing are less favorable or require us to comply with more onerous covenants
or restrictions, our business operations could be restricted. Any of the foregoing could adversely impact our financial condition, cash
flows and results of operations.
**We
expect to continue to incur substantial capital expenditures to grow our AI data center services business.**
Our
growth strategy includes expanding and diversifying our revenue sources, including by entering the AI data center services market, as
well as aiming to develop new products and services leveraging our eventual data center capacity and access to power.
As
a result, we expect eventually to incur capital expenditures to acquire the hardware necessary to provide services related to our AI
data center operations and to implement our growth plans. These costs may be substantial, and in some cases may also be unexpected. If
we do not generate sufficient revenue from customers of our AI data center services, we may not realize the benefit of these capital
expenditures. Further, there is no guarantee that such technology will be available to us, available on commercially acceptable terms,
successfully implemented in our operations or achieve the expected operational performance. If we fail, this will hinder the ability
to maintain competitive performance in compute-intensive applications and may have significant adverse impact on our results of operations
and may delay or prevent the timely completion of our growth strategies and anticipated increases in data center capacity.
| 28 | | |
| | |
Further,
the price of new equipment and hardware, including GPUs, is subject to market fluctuations. Such fluctuations are influenced by factors
including, supply and demand for such equipment. In the case of GPUs for AI services, current demand for NVIDIA GPUs and certain networking
equipment far exceeds supply, impacting the price and availability of such hardware. As a result, the cost of new equipment has been
and may in the future be unpredictable, and may also be significantly higher than our historical costs.
**Supply
chain and logistics issues for us, our contractors or our suppliers may frustrate or delay our expansion plans into the AI data center
services market or increase the cost of constructing our infrastructure.**
The
equipment that we intend to use in developing and providing our AI data center operations is generally manufactured by third parties
using a large amount of commodity inputs (for example, steel, copper, aluminum). Many manufacturing businesses globally are currently
experiencing supply chain issues and increased costs with respect to such commodities and other materials and labor used in their production
processes, which is due to a complex array of factors including increased demand from AI services, data center and other industries,
and which can occur from time to time. Procurement from suppliers which manufacture equipment outside of North America is also exposed
to additional risks such as regulatory changes (for example, a tariff or ban on equipment imported or exported from certain jurisdictions)
and global freight disruptions. Additionally, shortages in global semiconductor chip supply may impact procurement timelines for equipment.
Such issues may cause delays in the delivery of, or increases in the cost of, the equipment used in our operations, which could materially
impact our operating results and may delay our expansion plans.
The
delivery of equipment is subject to the fluctuations of supply and demand for air and sea freight, as well as the availability of local
logistics companies, coupled with possible local congestion at key processing locations, such as airports or pickup warehouses. Additionally,
there are inherent risks associated with transit, including potential damage, loss or theft of equipment. These logistical challenges
could materially impact our operations, causing delays or losses in equipment delivery and potentially hindering our expansion plans.
In
addition, public health crises, including an outbreak of an infectious disease, terrorist acts, and political or military conflict, such
as the conflict in Ukraine, have increased the risks and costs of doing business abroad. Many of the manufacturers of the equipment we
need to develop and expand our AI data center operations are located outside of the jurisdictions in which we have facilities and sites,
necessitating international shipping to enable us to incorporate the equipment into our facilities. Political and economic instability
have caused many businesses to experience logistics issues in the past resulting in delayed deliveries of equipment, which could occur
again in the future. Supply chain disruptions may also occur from time to time due to a range of factors beyond our control, including,
but not limited to, climate-related risks, seasonal and unseasonal weather events, shipping constraints (for example, blocked shipping
canals or closure of shipyards), increased costs of labor, inflationary pressure, freight costs, industrial disputes, political or military
blockades and raw material prices along with a shortage of qualified workers. Such supply chain disruptions can potentially cause material
impacts to our operating performance and financial position if delivery of equipment for our facilities is delayed.
**Any
electricity outage, non-supply or limitation of electricity supply, including as a result of political pressures or regulations, or increase
in electricity costs may result in material impacts to our AI data center services operations and financial performance.**
The
primary input of our AI data center operations will be electricity and we will rely on third parties, including utility providers, for
the reliable and sufficient supply of electricity to our infrastructure. Our growth strategy includes the development and operation of
AI data centers. There can be no assurance that utility providers will have the necessary infrastructure to deliver power that we may
require to implement our development plans, or that we will be able to procure power from or contract with these third parties on commercially
acceptable terms. Further, we may experience delays in procuring power due to various factors outside of our control. Even if we are
able to procure the power that we may require to implement our development plans, the relevant utility providers may impose onerous conditions
that may adversely impact the feasibility or economics of our facilities. Any of the foregoing could adversely impact our growth plans,
result in delays, and/or result in additional capital expenditure and other costs with respect to the development of our facilities,
which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial performance, financial condition and results of operations.
| 29 | | |
| | |
Further,
we cannot guarantee that the third parties, including utility providers, that we rely on for the supply of electricity will be able to
provide any electrical power at sufficient levels and consistently. As we increase our focus on and expand our AI data center services,
we may add alternative sources of backup power supply in response to customer requirements or otherwise. These backup power supply arrangements
may be costly to install and any use of such backup power supplies could also be costly. Non-supply or restrictions on the supply of,
or our failure to procure sufficient electricity to ensure sufficient backup generation sources for our data centers, could adversely
affect our operating performance and revenue by constraining the number of hardware that we can operate at any one time. This may adversely
impact customers of the services we offer, for example by adversely impacting our ability to meet contractual requirements in respect
of uptime, availability or performance. If we fail to meet such contractual requirements, our customers may have the right to terminate
their contracts with us, which could lead to the loss of such customers and adversely impact business, financial performance, financial
condition and results of operations. Moreover, electricity outages, or the perception that our data centers do not have adequate backup
electricity generation, could adversely impact our ability to compete in the AI data center services market.
Our
access to electricity, or sufficient electricity, may be affected by climate-related risks, severe weather, acts of God, natural and
man-made disasters, political or market operator interventions, utility equipment failure or scheduled and unscheduled maintenance that
results in electricity outages to the utility or broader electrical network facilities. These electricity outages may occur with little
or no warning and be of unpredictable duration. Further, our counterparties may be unable to deliver the required amount of power for
various technical, economic or political reasons. As the operation of data centers generally are energy-intensive and backup power generation
may be expensive to procure, any backup electricity supplies may not be available or may not be available on commercially acceptable
terms, or be sufficient to power some or all of our hardware in an affected location for the duration of the outage. Any such events,
including any significant nonperformance by counterparties, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial performance,
financial condition and results of operations.
**We
may be affected by price fluctuations in the wholesale and retail power markets.**
Our
power arrangements may vary depending on the markets in which we operate, and comprise fixed and variable power prices, including arrangements
that may contain price adjustment mechanisms in case of certain events. Furthermore, some portion of our power arrangements may be priced
by reference to published index prices and, thus, reflect market movements outside of our control. A substantial increase in electricity
costs could render the AI data center services we offer ineffective or not viable for us. Market prices for power, generation capacity
and ancillary services are unpredictable. An increase in market prices for power, generation capacity or ancillary services may adversely
affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results. Long-term and short-term power prices may fluctuate substantially
due to a variety of factors outside of our control, including, but not limited to:
| 
| 
| 
increases
and decreases in the supply and type of generation capacity; | |
| 
| 
| 
instantaneous
supply and demand balances; | |
| 
| 
| 
changes
in network and/or market regulator fees, programs and charges; | |
| 
| 
| 
fuel
costs; | |
| 
| 
| 
commodity
prices; | |
| 
| 
| 
new
generation technologies; | |
| 
| 
| 
changes
in power transmission constraints or inefficiencies; | |
| 
| 
| 
climate-related
risks and volatile weather conditions, particularly unusually hot or mild summers or unusually cold or warm winters, and other natural
or man-made disasters, including the impacts of such on the demand or power; | |
| 
| 
| 
technological
shifts resulting in changes in the demand for power or in patterns of power usage, due to factors including increasing demand from
data center operations as an industry, as well as the potential development of demand-side management tools, expansion and technological
advancements in power storage capability and the development of new fuels or new technologies for the production or storage of power; | |
| 
| 
| 
federal,
state, local and foreign power, market and environmental policy, regulation and legislation; | |
| 
| 
| 
changes
in capacity prices and capacity markets; and | |
| 
| 
| 
power
market structure (for example, energy-only versus energy and capacity markets). | |
Periodically,
state legislatures may pass new laws that could affect our businessincluding through the regulation of energy prices. While we
will aim to mitigate price disruptions (for example, we may, from time to time, seek to purchase electricity market derivatives or hedges
to minimize wholesale price volatility), there is no guarantee that any such arrangements would be successful in mitigating volatility
or increases in wholesale market prices. Increases and fluctuations in the cost of electricity we purchase could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial performance, financial condition and results of operations.

**Any
delays or unexpected costs in the development of any new properties acquired for development may delay and harm our growth prospects,
future operating results and financial condition.**
We
intend to build out data centers in the future at significant cost. Our successful development of these and future projects is subject
to many risks, including those associated with:
| 
| 
| 
delays
in construction, or changes to the plans or specifications; | |
| 
| 
| 
budget
overruns, increased prices for raw materials or building supplies, or lack of availability and/or increased costs for specialized
data center components, including long lead time items such as generators; | |
| 
| 
| 
construction
site accidents and other casualties; | |
| 
| 
| 
financing
availability, including our ability to obtain construction financing and permanent financing, or increases in interest rates or credit
spreads; | |
| 
| 
| 
labor
availability, costs, disputes and work stoppages with contractors, subcontractors or others that are constructing the project; | |
| 
| 
| 
failure
of contractors to perform on a timely basis or at all, or other misconduct on the part of contractors; | |
| 
| 
| 
access
to sufficient power and related costs of providing such power to our customers; | |
| 
| 
| 
environmental
issues; | |
| 
| 
| 
supply
chain constraints; | |
| 
| 
| 
fire,
flooding, earthquakes and other natural disasters; | |
| 
| 
| 
pandemics; | |
| 
| 
| 
geological,
construction, excavation and equipment problems; and | |
| 
| 
| 
delays
or denials of entitlements or permits, including zoning and related permits, or other delays resulting from requirements of public
agencies and utility companies. | |
In
addition, development activities, regardless of whether they are ultimately successful, also typically require a substantial portion
of our managements time and attention. This may distract our management from focusing on other operational activities of our business.
If we are unable to complete development projects successfully and on a timely basis, our business may be adversely affected.
**Government
regulators and utilities may potentially restrict the ability of electricity suppliers to provide electricity to AI data centers or AI
services generally.**
The
supply of electricity for our existing or future operations, and the interconnection to the transmission system of any facilities we
are currently developing or may develop in the future, could be limited or otherwise adversely impacted as a result of political pressure
or regulation. Government and regulatory scrutiny related to AI services and their energy consumption and impact on the environment has
increased and may continue to increase. Some governments and regulators are increasingly focused on the energy and environmental impact
of data centers in particular, including the impact on the electricity market that may arise from price responsiveness. This has led
to new governmental measures regulating, restricting or prohibiting the use of electricity for data centers generally in any of the jurisdictions
in which we operate from time to time.
For
example, in December 2022, the Government of British Columbia announced a temporary 18-month suspension on new and early-stage BC Hydro
connection requests from cryptocurrency mining projects, which was subsequently extended for another 18-months in June 2024. The suspension
was challenged in court, but subsequently upheld by the British Columbia Court of Appeal. Additionally, in May 2024, the Government of
British Columbia amended the BC Utilities Commission Act to enable the government to enact regulations regarding public utilities
provision of electricity service to cryptocurrency miners. These events demonstrate that potential policy-driven actions and future actions
by governments, or the issuance of any new legislation, government orders of regulations, may reduce the availability and/or increase
the cost of electricity in the geographic locations in which our operating facilities could be located, or could otherwise adversely
impact our business.

**We
may fail to anticipate or adapt to technology innovations in a timely manner, or at all.**
The
AI data center market is experiencing rapid technological changes. In addition, use of AI is becoming more prevalent. Failure to anticipate
technology innovations or adapt to such innovations in a timely manner, or at all, may result in our current and future capabilities
becoming obsolete. The process of developing and marketing new products, services, solutions or capabilities, and implementing the use
of new technologies in our business, is inherently complex and involves significant uncertainties. There are a number of risks, including
the following:
| 
| 
| 
our
product or service planning efforts may fail in resulting in the development or commercialization of new technologies or ideas; | |
| 
| 
| 
our
research and development efforts may fail to translate new product plans into commercially feasible solutions; | |
| 
| 
| 
our
new products or solutions that we offer (including AI data center services) may not be well received by consumers or otherwise may
fail to achieve their intended purpose or functionality; | |
| 
| 
| 
we
may not have adequate funding and resources necessary for continual investments in product planning and research and development; | |
| 
| 
| 
to
the extent that we do not have sufficient rights to use the data or other material or content used in or produced by AI tools that
we may use in our business, or if we experience cybersecurity incidents in connection with our use of AI, it could adversely affect
our reputation and expose us to legal liability or regulatory risk, including with respect to third-party intellectual property,
privacy, publicity, contractual or other rights; | |
| 
| 
| 
in
the United States, a number of civil lawsuits have been initiated related to the use of AI, which may, among other things, require
us to limit the ways in which our AI systems in our business; | |
| 
| 
| 
our
products or solutions may become obsolete due to rapid advancements in technology and changes in consumer preferences; and | |
| 
| 
| 
high
level of competition in the digital asset, data center, and AI services markets means that competitors may introduce superior products
or services before we can develop or market our own innovations. | |
Any
failure to anticipate the next generation technology roadmap or changes in customer preferences or to timely develop new or enhanced
products or implement use of new technologies in our business, including AI, in response could result in decreased revenue and market
share. An inability to adapt could tarnish our reputation as an innovator and leader in our industry, further affecting our competitive
position and long-term viability. In addition, as the utilization of AI becomes more prevalent, we anticipate that it will continue to
present new or unanticipated ethical, reputational, technical, operational, legal, competitive, and regulatory issues, among others.
As a result, the challenges presented with our use of AI could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

**Risks
Related to Ownership of our Common Stock**
****
**We
have never paid cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.**
We
have never paid cash dividends on our capital stock and currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the growth of our business,
other than mandatory dividend payments on our preferred stock, subject to Delaware law. Any determination to pay dividends in the future
will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements,
general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. As a result, capital appreciation, if any,
of shares of our common stock will be the sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.
****
**Anti-takeover
provisions contained in our governing documents and applicable laws could impair a takeover attempt.**
****
Our
Certificate of Incorporation and certain rules and regulations provide certain rights and powers to our board of directors that could
contribute to the delay or prevention of an acquisition that we deem undesirable. These include, but are not limited to:
| 
| 
| 
authorizing
blank check preferred stock, which could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to shares of our
common stock; | |
| 
| 
| 
limiting
the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers; | |
| 
| 
| 
limiting
the ability of our stockholders to call and bring business before special meetings and to take action by written consent in lieu
of a meeting; | |
| 
| 
| 
requiring
advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our stockholders and for nominations of candidates
for election to our Board; | |

Any
of the foregoing provisions and terms that have the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for
stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our securities, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing
to pay for our securities.
As permitted by our governing documents, in February 2026 the Company
entered into a Rights Agreement with its transfer agent and our Board declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding
share of Common Stock. Each right, when and if it becomes exercisable, would allow the holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share
of the Companys Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock. In the event of a takeover attempt, this preferred stock would give
holders of the rights (other than the potential acquirer) the ability to acquire additional shares of common stock at a discount, leading
to the dilution of the potential acquirers stake. The distribution of the rights and the adoption of the corresponding Rights Agreement
can have negative effects such as those described above.

**Our
stock price may be volatile, and you may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at or above the price at which you purchased
such shares.**
Fluctuations
in the price of shares of our common stock could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. If an active market for our
securities develops and continues, the trading price of shares of our common stock could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations
in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control.
Factors
affecting the trading price of our common stock may include:
| 
| 
| 
actual
or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar
to us; | |
| 
| 
| 
failure
to meet or exceed financial estimates and projections of the investment community or that we provide to the public; | |
| 
| 
| 
issuance
of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts or changed recommendations for our industries in general; | |
| 
| 
| 
announcements
of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations, financings, or capital commitments; | |
| 
| 
| 
the
volume of shares of our common stock available for public sale; | |
| 
| 
| 
operating
and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us; | |
| 
| 
| 
our
ability to market new and enhanced products and technologies on a timely basis; | |
| 
| 
| 
changes
in laws and regulations affecting our business; | |
| 
| 
| 
our
ability to meet compliance requirements; | |
| 
| 
| 
commencement
of, or involvement in, litigation involving us; | |
| 
| 
| 
changes
in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning us or the market in general; | |
| 
| 
| 
the
timing and magnitude of investments in the growth of the business; | |
| 
| 
| 
actual
or anticipated changes in laws and regulations; | |
| 
| 
| 
additions
or departures of key management or other personnel; | |
| 
| 
| 
increased
labor costs; | |
| 
| 
| 
disputes
or other developments related to intellectual property or other proprietary rights, including litigation; | |
| 
| 
| 
the
ability to market new and enhanced solutions on a timely basis; | |
| 
| 
| 
sales
of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock by our directors, executive officers, significant stockholders or the perception
that such sales could occur; | |
| 
| 
| 
trading
volume of shares of our common stock, including as a result of transactions we may execute pursuant to existing financing arrangements; | |
| 
| 
| 
changes
in capital structure, including future issuances of securities or the incurrence of debt and the terms thereof; and | |
| 
| 
| 
general
economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of
war or terrorism. | |
Broad
market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock
market in general and Nasdaq have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the
operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities,
may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors
perceive to be similar to us could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of
operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and
our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.
****
| 33 | | |
| | |
****
**If
we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited
public market for our shares, limit our ability to access existing liquidity facilities and make obtaining future financing more difficult
for us.**
****
Shares
of our common stock are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbol JTAI. In order to continue listing our securities on
Nasdaq, we must maintain certain financial, distribution and stock price levels. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue
to meet those listing requirements.
On
February 6, 2026, we received the Notice Letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq stating that we are not in
compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, as the minimum bid price of our common stock had been
below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The Notice Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our common
stock. We have 180 calendar days, or until August 5, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In the event
we do not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the Initial Compliance Period, we may be eligible for an additional
180-calendar day compliance period if, at that time, we meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of publicly held
shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement.
At
the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, we received stockholder approval to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding
shares of common stock at a ratio of up to 1-for-250. Should we not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the
Initial Compliance Period or the Additional Compliance Period, if applicable, we expect to effect such a reverse stock split in a sufficient
ratio so as to cause us to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Although we believe that we will be able to regain
compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum
Bid Price Requirement, satisfy the requirements necessary for eligibility for an Additional Compliance Period, or maintain compliance
with any other listing requirements. Failure to meet the continued listing standards of Nasdaq may result in shares of our common stock
being delisted from Nasdaq.
If
Nasdaq were to delist shares of our common stock from trading and we are unable to list shares of our common stock on another national
securities exchange, we expect shares of our common stock could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could
face significant material adverse consequences, including:
| 
| 
| 
a
limited availability of market quotations for shares of our common stock; | |
| 
| 
| 
reduced
liquidity for shares of our common stock; | |
| 
| 
| 
a
determination that our common stock qualifies as a penny stock, requiring brokers trading in shares of our common stock
to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for
shares of our common stock; | |
| 
| 
| 
a
limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and | |
| 
| 
| 
a
decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. | |
The
National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the
sale of certain securities, which are referred to as covered securities. Since shares of our common stock are listed on
Nasdaq, they qualify as a covered security. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal
statute allows the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud. If there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then
the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if we were no longer listed on a securities
exchange, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.
****
**Stockholders
may experience dilution of their ownership interest due to the issuance of shares of our common stock.**
****
In
order to raise additional capital, we may at any time (but subject to applicable limitations imposed under SEC rules or Nasdaq rules),
offer, sell, and issue additional shares of our common stock (or other securities) under an effective Registration Statement on Form
S-3 (File No. 333-289982 and/or File No. 333-293011). These sales may be made from time to time pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement
with Maxim Group LLC dated November 21, 2025, as amended, or otherwise. If we raise capital through the issuance of equity securities,
the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders may be reduced, and such existing shareholders may experience dilution in net book
value per share. Any such newly-issued equity securities may also have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders
of the common shares. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness may involve restrictive
covenants that impair our ability to pursue our growth strategy and other aspects of its business plan, expose us to greater interest
rate risk and volatility, require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness,
thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital and capital expenditures, increase our vulnerability to general
adverse economic and industry conditions, place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt, and
limit our ability to borrow additional funds. In connection with any such future capital raising transactions, whether involving the
issuance of equity securities or the incurrence of indebtedness, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to raise
additional capital for a period of time, which may limit or prevent us from raising capital at times when it would otherwise be opportunistic
to do so.
| 34 | | |

****
**Sales
of shares of our common stock, or the perception of such sales, by us or our significant stockholders in the public market or otherwise
could cause the market price for shares of our common stock to decline.**
****
The
sale of shares of common stock in the public market or otherwise, particularly sales by our officers or directors, or the perception
that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of our common stock. These sales, or the possibility that
these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that
is deemed appropriate. Resales of shares of our common stock may cause the market price of shares of our common stock to drop significantly,
even if our business is doing well.
We
have an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-281578 and File No. 333-292836) providing for the initial sale and
issuance of our securities in an amount up to approximately $55.8 million. We also have an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3
(File No. 333-293011) providing for the initial sale and issuance of our securities in an amount up to $250 million. Given the substantial
number of shares of common stock registered under these Registration Statements on Form S-3, the issuance of sales of our common stock
or the sale of shares of our common stock by existing stockholders, or the perception of any such issuance or sale, could increase the
volatility of the market price of shares of our common stock or result in a significant decline in the public trading price of shares
of our common stock. Some of our existing stockholders have or may acquire their shares at a significant discount to the market price
of shares of our common stock. This may create an incentive for such stockholders to sell shares of our common stock because such stockholders
purchased the shares of our common stock at prices lower than the then-current trading price of shares of our common stock.
**Stockholder activism could disrupt our business
and harm our stock price.**
We may face actions or proposals from activist stockholders that conflict
with our business strategy, contemplated transactions, and other stockholders interests. Responding to these activities can be
costly, time-consuming, and distract management and the Board from running our business. Activism may also create uncertainty about our
future direction, which could harm relationships with customers, strategic partners, counterparties to prospective transactions, suppliers,
and employees, and make it harder to implement our business strategy. If a proxy contest occurs, we could incur significant legal and
solicitation expenses and management attention could be diverted. Activist campaigns may also lead to litigation, further increasing costs
and disruption. These activities could negatively affect our ability to execute our strategic plan and cause our stock price to fluctuate.
In February 2026 we adopted, and may again in the future choose to adopt, a rights agreement, which when in place, could have certain
anti-takeover effects.

**Item
1C Cybersecurity**
We
have developed and implemented cybersecurity risk management processes intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability
of our critical systems and information. While everyone at our company plays a part in managing cybersecurity risks, primary cybersecurity
oversight responsibility is shared by our board of directors and senior management.
Our
cybersecurity risk management program includes the following strategies for managing cybersecurity risks effectively:
| 
| 
| 
Risk
Assessment Processes: We conduct regular risk assessments to proactively identify potential cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities.
These assessments involve thorough evaluations of our IT infrastructure, data systems, and processes to pinpoint areas of weakness; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Proactive
Security Measures: In addition to risk assessments, we employ proactive security measures to enhance our cyber defenses. These
measures include the continuous monitoring of network activity, the implementation of access controls and encryption protocols, and
the deployment of intrusion detection systems to swiftly detect and respond to any suspicious activities. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Framework
for Identifying and Mitigating Threats: We follow a structured framework for identifying and mitigating cybersecurity threats,
which outlines procedures for threat detection, incident response, and risk mitigation. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Employee
Training and Awareness Programs: We provide training to our management and employees designed to equip employees with the knowledge
and skills necessary to identify and respond to cybersecurity risks, tailored based on the persons roles within our organization. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Technology
and External Consultants: We use external consultants or other third-party experts and service providers, where considered appropriate,
to assess, test, or otherwise assist with aspects of our cybersecurity controls. | |
| 35 | | |
| | |
Over
the past fiscal year, we have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably likely
to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, operating results, or financial condition. We will continue to
monitor and assess our cybersecurity risk management program as well as invest in and seek to improve such systems and processes as appropriate.
If we were to experience a material cybersecurity incident in the future, such incident may have a material adverse effect on our reputation,
as well as our operations, business strategy, operating results, and financial condition.
**Board
Governance**
Our
board of directors oversees our risk management, including our information technology and cybersecurity policies, procedures, and risk
assessments. Our management reports to our board of directors on information security matters as necessary, regarding any significant
cybersecurity incidents, as well as any incidents with lesser impact potential.
One
of the key functions of our board of directors is informed oversight of our various processes for managing risk. An overall review of
risk is inherent in our board of directors ongoing consideration of our long-term strategies, transactions and other matters presented
to and discussed by the board of directors. This includes a discussion of the likelihood and potential magnitude of various risks, including
cybersecurity risks, and any actions management has taken to limit, monitor or control those risks.
**Item

We
lease space for our corporate headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada, consisting of office space and

The
Company is not party to any material legal proceedings, although from time to time it may become involved in ordinary routine litigation
incidental to its business. There were no such proceedings pending during the period covered by this Report.

**Market
Information**
We
have one class of common stock, listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol JTAI. The transfer agent and
registrar for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
**Shareholders**
As
of March 6, 2026, we had 3,745 holders of record of our common stock. The actual number of stockholders is greater than this number of
record holders, and includes stockholders who are beneficial owners, but whose shares are held in street name by brokers and other nominees.
| 36 | | |
| | |
****
**Dividend
Policy**
The
Company has never paid cash dividends on its capital stock and currently intends to retain any future earnings to fund the growth of
its business. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend on
Jet.AIs financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that the board
of directors may deem relevant.
**Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities**
Set
forth below is information regarding equity securities issued by the registrant since January 1, 2025 that were not registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and not previously disclosed in a report we have filed with
the SEC:
| 
1. | 
From
October 2024 through the date of this Report, the Company issued a total of 1,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock from the full
exercise of the Ionic Warrant for gross proceeds of $15.0 million before deducting offering costs of $2,951,000. And, since October
2024 issued a total of 43,796,343 shares of common stock upon the conversion of those shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The securities
were offered and sold in reliance on the exemptions from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule
506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. | |
In
each transaction in which we relied on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder,
we did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising, and we offered the securities to a limited number of persons with whom
we had pre-existing relationships. We exercised reasonable care to ensure that the purchasers of securities were not underwriters within
the meaning of the Securities Act, including making reasonable inquiry prior to accepting any subscription, making written disclosure
regarding the restricted nature of the securities, and placing a legend on the certificates representing the shares. Further, stop-transfer
restrictions were placed with our transfer agent and a restrictive legend was placed on the certificate or instrument representing the
securities in connection with these offerings. In addition, sales in the transactions exempt under Rule 506(b) were made exclusively
to what the Company reasonably believed were accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act. The recipients of securities
in each of these transactions acquired the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with
any distribution thereof.

**Overview**
****
The
Company was founded in 2018 by Michael Winston, its Executive Chairman. The Company, directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries,
historically has been principally involved in (i) the sale of fractional and whole interests in aircraft, (ii) the sale of jet cards,
which enable holders to use certain of the Companys and others aircraft at agreed-upon rates, (iii) the operation of a
proprietary booking platform, which functions as a prospecting and quoting platform to arrange private jet travel with third-party carriers
as well as via the Companys leased and managed aircraft, (iv) direct chartering of its HondaJet Elite aircraft by Cirrus Aviation
Services, (v) aircraft brokerage and (vi) monthly management and hourly operation of customer aircraft.
Currently
we offer the following SaaS software to aircraft owners and operators generally:
| 
| 
| 
Reroute
AI: recycles aircraft waiting to embark to their next revenue flight into prospective new charter bookings to destinations within
specific operational parameters. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
DynoFlight:
enables aircraft operators to estimate aircraft emissions then purchase carbon removal credits via our DynoFlight application programming
interface API. | |
In
2024 and 2025, we launched CharterGPT, our AI-enhanced booking app, and Ava, our agentic AI model, respectively.
In
2025 the Company began transitioning its primary focus to AI data center operations and assets. As part of that transition, in 2025 the
Company acquired an approximately 49.9% ownership interest in AIIA Sponsor Ltd. (as previously defined, Sponsor), the sponsor
of AI Infrastructure Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: AIIA) (as previously defined, AI Acquisition), a special purpose acquisition
company that completed its initial public offering in October 2025. See Investment in AIIA Sponsor below for further discussion.

**Potential
Sale of Aviation Business Assets**
On
February 13, 2025, the Company, entered into the Original Merger Agreement with flyExclusive, Merger Sub, and SpinCo. On May 6, 2025,
the parties entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as previously defined, the Merger
Agreement). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) as a condition to closing on the Merger Agreement, the Company will effect the
Distribution, (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into SpinCo to effect the Merger, with SpinCo surviving the Merger as a wholly owned
subsidiary of flyExclusive and (iii) as consideration for the Merger, the Companys existing stockholders will have the right to
receive shares of Class A common stock of flyExclusive. Additionally, the Companys stockholders will continue to own and hold
their existing shares of the Companys common stock as of closing of the Merger.
The
Merger Agreement amends, restates, replaces and supersedes the Original Merger Agreement in its entirety. Except as follows, the material
terms of the Transactions were unchanged in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement, among other things, amended the Original Merger
Agreement to provide that eighty percent of the merger consideration shares will be issued upon the closing, and twenty percent of the
merger consideration shares will be held in reserve by flyExclusive until a final post-closing purchase price is determined. Once the
final post-closing purchase price is determined, flyExclusive will only issue additional merger consideration shares from the reserve
on a dollar for dollar basis up to the lesser of the final purchase price and the initial purchase price.
On
February 11, 2026, the parties entered into an amendment to the Merger Agreement (as previously defined, the Amendment),
which (i) eliminates the closing condition that would have required the Company to execute a new securities purchase agreement with a
third-party investor, pursuant to which the Company would have issued the investor a warrant to purchase up to $50 million worth of shares
of a newly-designated series of preferred stock, and (ii) provides the Company with the ability to explore and negotiate potential post-closing
strategic transactions, provided that any such transaction must be conditioned upon the closing of the Transactions and consummated after
the closing of the Transactions.
In
connection with executing the Original Merger Agreement, the Company, SpinCo, and flyExclusive entered into the Separation and Distribution
Agreement pursuant to which the Company will effect the Separation by transferring the business, operations, services and activities
of the Companys fractional and jet card business to SpinCo and will no longer operate a fractional and jet card consummate the
Distribution. After the Separation and Distribution, the Company will no longer operate a fractional or jet card business. The Company
will continue to operate and retain its software and intellectual property assets, but will cease to hold its aircraft fractional, jet
card and management assets. The Transactions are subject to various conditions to closing, including the receipt of stockholder approval,
and are expected to close during the second quarter of 2026.
**Joint
Venture**
On
June 26, 2025, we entered into the JV Agreement with Consensus Core pursuant to which we and Consensus Core agreed to establish a joint
venture allowing us to collaborate in developing data centers. In furtherance of this collaboration, we and Consensus Core entered into
the Contribution Agreement with Consensus Core and Convergence Compute on July 2, 2025. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, we contributed
$300,000 to Convergence Compute at the first closing of the transactions contemplated by the JV Agreement and acquired a 0.5% equity
interest in Convergence Compute. Ultimately, we have agreed to contribute up to an aggregate $20 million to Convergence Compute in five
tranches that are each tied to specific project development milestones.
On
November 7, 2025, we announced that the milestones associated with the second closingincluding the contribution by Consensus Core
of all equity interests of its data center project located in Midwestern Canada (as previously defined, the Midwest Project)
to Convergence Computehad been substantially completed and we have since contributed the $1.7 million in connection with the second
milestone. As a result, we and Consensus Core each received a 17.5% equity interest in the Midwest Project and we received an additional
0.5% equity interest in Convergence Compute.
| 39 | | |
| | |
In
connection with the third closing under the Contribution Agreement, Consensus Core will contribute all equity interests in its data center
project located in Maritime Canada (as previously defined, the Maritime Project) to Convergence Compute. As a result of
this contribution, we and Consensus Core each will receive a 17.5% equity interest in the Maritime Project and we will receive an additional
0.5% equity interest in Convergence Compute. If all five closings contemplated by the Contribution Agreement occur, we will hold
an aggregate equity interest of 2.5% of Consensus Core, an equity interest of 17.5% in the Midwest Project, and an equity interest of
17.5% in the Maritime Project.

**Revenues**
Revenues
for 2025 totaled $9.2 million, a $4.8 million decrease from revenues of $14.0 million for fiscal 2024, and were comprised of approximately
$4.8 million of revenues related to our CharterGPT software app and Cirrus charter services (being $3.0 million in software-related revenue
and $1.8 million in revenue from the chartering of our HondaJets by our operating partner Cirrus), $3.2 million in services revenue from
the management of customers aircraft, $1.1 million in Jet Card revenue for hours flown and other charges based on hours flown,
and $159,000 in other revenue. The primary reason for the decrease was due to a reduction in Cirrus charter, software app, and Jet Card
revenues of $2.1 million, $1.2 million, and $1.2 million, respectively, in the 2025 period due to the planned sale of the Companys
aviation assets to flyExclusive. Upon the closing of the proposed transaction with flyExclusive we will cease to generate revenues from
our legacy Jet Card and fractional programs.
The
following table sets forth a breakout of revenue components by subcategory for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The
Company recognized $3.0 million in revenue related to app-generated services and software revenues related to charter bookings made through
its CharterGPT app in 2025, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 29.0%, from $4.2 million in 2024, reflecting reduced brokerage staff for the CharterGPT app and aviation piece(s) that will be retained after
the flyExclusive transaction.
The
Company recognized $3.2 million in service revenue in 2025, a decrease of $405,000, or 11.3 %, from $3.6 million in 2024, relating to
reduced flying by the owners of the Companys managed aircraft. During 2025, the Company sold 20 prepaid flight hours under its
jet card and fractional programs, amounting to $116,000, and recognized $948,000 of revenue for 168 flight hours flown or forfeited,
as well as $105,000 in additional charges. These additional charges primarily represent charges for cost reimbursements such as a fuel
component adjustment to adjust for changes in fuel prices relative to the jet card and fractional contracts base fuel price and
reimbursement of federal excise taxes. Prepaid flight hours are recognized as revenue as the flight hours are used or forfeited. At December
31, 2025, the Company recorded deferred revenue of $443,126 on its consolidated balance sheets, which includes $259,000 related to jet
card prepayments for which the related travel had not yet occurred, $184,000 with respect to customer prepayments associated with software
app transactions, and $315 with respect to the management of aircraft.
In
2024, we sold 285 prepaid flight hours amounting to approximately $1.7 million and recognized approximately $2.1 million of revenue for
348 flight hours flown or forfeited, as well as additional charges of approximately $208,000. At December 31, 2024, the Company recorded
deferred revenue of $1,319,746 on its consolidated balance sheets.
The
decrease in flight hours sold and flown primarily resulted from the planned sale of the Companys aviation assets to flyExclusive.

revenue at December 31, 2025 and 2024 also includes $184,046 and $212,278, respectively, with respect to customer prepayments associated

In
addition to its software app and jet card revenues, the Company also generates revenue through the direct chartering of its HondaJet
aircraft by Cirrus. During 2025, this revenue amounted to approximately $1.8 million, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 53.6%, from $3.9
million in the prior year. The decreased revenue was a result of the decreased chartering of the Companys HondaJet fleet, as well
as reduced pilot availability in 2025 as compared to 2024 resulting from the planned sale of the Companys aviation assets to flyExclusive.
Management
and Other Service revenues totaled $3.3 million in 2025, a decrease of $286,000, or 7.9%, from $3.6 million in 2024. The Company continued
to provide aircraft management services throughout 2025.
****
**Cost
of Revenues**
Our
cost of revenue is comprised of payments to Cirrus for the maintenance and management of our fleet aircraft, commissions to Cirrus for
their arranging for charters on our aircraft, aircraft lease expense, federal excise tax relating to jet card and third-party charters,
and payments to third-party aircraft operators for both charter flights booked through CharterGPT, as well as the cost of subcharters
for covering jet card flights when our HondaJets were unavailable. The management of our aircraft by Cirrus covers all our aircraft regardless
of whether the aircraft are used for program flight hours or charter flights and includes expenses such as fuel, pilot wages and training
costs, aircraft insurance, maintenance and other flight operational expenses.
During
2025, the Company operated three HondaJets, one King Air 390i and one CJ4. As a result of the decrease in jet card and Cirrus charter
flight activity, operating expenses related to the operation of the Companys aircraft and payments to Cirrus for their management
decreased $3.5 million from $9.3 million in 2024 to $5.8 million in 2025, and aircraft lease payments decreased $56,000 from $1.4 million
in 2024 to $1.3 million in 2025. The Company also incurred third-party charter costs of approximately $2.1 million in 2025, a $1.6 million
decrease over 2024, as a result of the reduction in ad hoc charters and a reduced need for subcharters used for covering jet card flights
when our HondaJets were unavailable. Federal excise tax and merchant fees relating to charter flights decreased $356,000 in 2025 to $281,000
from $637,000 in 2024. In total, it cost $9.5 million to operate these five aircraft in 2025, compared to $15.0 million to operate four
aircraft in 2024.
| 42 | | |
| | |
**Gross
Loss**
The
resulting gross loss totaled $300,000 for 2025, compared to $965,000 for the 2024 fiscal year. The decreased gross loss was a result
of decreased pilot, fuel, training and maintenance costs, together with lower utilization on our HondaJets.
**Total
Operating Expenses**
In
2025, the Companys operating expenses decreased by approximately $1.8 million from 2024 due to an approximate $2.0 million decrease
in selling, general and administrative expenses, offset by a $91,000 increase in sales and marketing expenses and a $82,000 increase
in research and development costs. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation of $1.6 million and $4.3 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively,
general and administrative expenses rose by approximately $656,000 primarily due to a $436,000 increase in board of director fees, a
$253,000 increase in Directors and Officers insurance costs, an increase in professional legal service expenses of $190,000 with a substantial
portion of these expenses during the 2025 period related to the potential flyExclusive transaction, an increase in wages of $160,000,
offset by a decrease in consulting fees of $46,000, a decrease in regulatory fees of $88,000, and a decrease in dues and subscriptions
of $57,000.
The
Companys sales and marketing expenses increased by about $91,000 to $779,000 in 2025 from $688,000 in 2024. These expenses are
mainly linked to promoting the Company and its programs, including transitioning its primary focus to AI data center operations and assets.
Research
and development expenses increased $82,000 to $244,000 in 2025 from $162,000 in 2024, due to continued development work on additional
software offerings.
**Operating
Loss**
As
a result of all of the above, in 2025 the Company recognized an operating loss of approximately $10.1 million, which was a decrease in
loss of approximately $2.5 million when compared to the prior year. The decrease in operating loss was primarily due to the reduced gross
loss and the decrease in general and administrative expenses resulting from the decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expenses
that resulted from the non-cash vesting of employee stock options as well as the decrease in consulting costs.
**Other
(Income) Expense**
During
2025, the Company recognized approximately $14.7 million in other income, net, compared to $167,000 in other expense for the 2024 fiscal
year. Other income in 2025 was driven primarily by a $14.5 million unrealized gain from the change in fair value of the Companys
other investments (see Investment in AIIA Sponsor below), $182,000 in other income comprised of interest income and dividend
income, and the elimination of interest expense of $167,000 in 2024 related to the Bridge Agreement (defined below) that was fully repaid
in March 2024.
**Net
Income (Loss) to Common Stockholders**
The
Company recorded net income of $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $12.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2024, a favorable change of $17.3 million. The swing from net loss to net income was driven by the $14.5 million non-cash
unrealized gain on the change in fair value of other investments, together with a $2.5 million improvement in operating loss. Excluding
the non-cash fair value gain, the Company would have recorded a net loss of approximately $9.9 million for the year ended December 31,
2025.
There
were no deemed dividends or cumulative preferred stock dividends in 2025, compared to a $540,000 deemed dividend from the Companys
warrant exchange offer and $109,000 in cumulative preferred stock dividends in 2024. Accordingly, net income to common stockholders was
$4.6 million in 2025 compared to a net loss to common stockholders of $13.4 million in 2024.
Net
income per share basic and diluted was $1.52 and $0.33, respectively for 2025, compared to net loss per share basic and
diluted of $(47.93) for 2024, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 3,026,488, 13,766,617 and 279,201, respectively. The significant
increase in weighted average shares outstanding reflects common stock issuances during 2024 and 2025, including shares issued upon conversion
of Series B Preferred Stock.

**Liquidity
and Capital Resources**
**Overview**
As
of December 31, 2025, the Companys cash and cash equivalents were approximately $1.8 million, compared to $5.9 million at December
31, 2024. There was a liquidity reserve of $500,000 in a separate bank account pledged as security to an aircraft lessor, which the Company
records as restricted cash on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, as well as a maintenance reserve of approximately $690,000 for
this leased aircraft. As of December 31, 2025, current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $1.5 million. Of the $3.7
million in current liabilities, approximately $443,000 represents deferred revenue that will be satisfied through delivery of services
rather than cash payments.
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company raised: (1) $11.0 million from the exercise of the Ionic Warrant for the issuance of shares
of Series B Preferred Stock, and (2) approximately $713,000 from sales of common stock under its ATM Sales Agreement and otherwise. These
proceeds were partially offset by offering costs of approximately $2.5 million.
The
Company also incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and continues to have an accumulated deficit of approximately $48.0
million as of December 31, 2025. While the Company recorded net income of $4.6 million in 2025, this was driven by the non-cash fair
value unrealized gain on other investments; as operating cash flows remained negative at $8.2 million.
The
Company expects to continue to incur operating losses for at least the next 12 months. To fund its on-going obligations and operations,
the Company intends to rely on funds available from potential sales of equity and debt securities, including shares of common stock that
are expected to occur from time to time under its at-the-market sales program (further described below) effected in accordance with the
Equity Distribution Agreement dated November 21, 2025, as amended in January 2026. The Company also has the ability to reduce cash burn
to preserve capital. In the absence of external financing the Company is prepared to cut its cash utilization by ceasing marketing and
customer acquisition, suspending software development, streamlining operations, and servicing only existing customers. Such a reduction
would allow the Company to continue to operate for a year or more by managements estimate.
**Ionic
/ Hexstone Transaction**
*General*
On
March 28, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and related documents described below for a private placement
with Ionic Ventures, LLC (as defined above, Ionic), which closed on March 29, 2024, which we collectively refer to as the
Ionic Transaction. At the initial closing, the Company initially issued to Ionic (a) 150 shares of its Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred Stock) and (b) 1,111 shares of common stock. In addition, the Company issued to Ionic
a warrant to purchase up to 1,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the Ionic Warrant). At the initial closing, the Company
received gross proceeds of $1,500,025, reflecting payment for the Series B Preferred Stock and the common stock, in connection with the
Ionic Transaction. This amount excludes the proceeds from the exercise of the Ionic Warrant.
*Other
Transaction Documents and Subsequent Agreements*
The
Ionic Warrant exercise price was initially set at $10,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment for certain events,
such as a stock split, issuance of additional shares as a dividend or otherwise. As of the date of this Report, Ionic has fully exercised
the Ionic Warrant for a total of 1,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $15.0 million.
**
| 44 | | |
| | |
**
*Conversions
of Series B Preferred Stock; Warrant Exercises*
Starting
in October 2024, and through the date of this Report, Ionic has converted in full the 150 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued at
the initial closing, the 50 additional shares issued in connection with a letter agreement entered into in September 2024, and all 1,500
shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the full exercise of the Ionic Warrant. Those conversions, in total, resulted in
the issuance of 43,796,343 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split).
On
October 28, 2024, Ionic partially exercised the Ionic Warrant for 150 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, resulting in total
proceeds to the Company of $1.5 million. On November 14, 2024, Ionic partially exercised the Ionic Warrant for 250 additional shares,
resulting in proceeds of $2.5 million. On January 23, 2025, Ionic partially exercised the Ionic Warrant for 250 additional shares, resulting
in proceeds of $2.5 million. On February 27, 2025, Ionic exercised the remainder of the Ionic Warrant for 850 additional shares, resulting
in proceeds of $8.5 million.
From
the closing of the Ionic Transaction through December 31, 2025, Ionic sold an aggregate of 3,625,610 shares of our common stock, comprised
of: (i) 1,466,578 shares sold pursuant to Rule 144; (ii) 133,777 shares sold under a registration statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-279385);
(iii) 600,000 shares sold under our registration statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-283207); (iv) 1,269,255 shares sold under our registration
statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-284504); and (v) 156,000 shares sold under our registration statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-289982).
As of December 31, 2025, Ionic held 300 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
During
2026, Ionic sold an additional 10,129,504 shares pursuant to Rule 144. As of the date of this Report, Ionic holds no shares of our Series
B Preferred Stock or common stock.
During
2026, Hexstone Capital, LLC (who was assigned certain rights or shares by Ionic) sold an aggregate of 30,041,229 shares of our common
stock, comprised of: (i) 1,800,000 shares sold under our registration statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-289982); and (ii) 28,241,229
shares sold pursuant to Rule 144. As December 31, 2025, Hexstone held 450 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock.
**Share
Purchase Agreement**
The
Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement on August 4, 2022, with GEM Yield LLC SCS and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (together, GEM),
which provides for potential future equity purchases of up to $40 million, subject to certain conditions. The agreement expires on August
11, 2026. Through early 2024, the Company drew down $2,550,024 under this facility and has not utilized it since. In consideration for
GEMs commitment, the Company paid GEM a commitment fee equal to $800,000 in shares of common stock. In October 2024, the Company
issued 36,886 shares of common stock to satisfy in full the outstanding commitment fee payable discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated
financial statements in this Report and 58,447 shares of common stock under the Share Purchase Agreement with GEM for total consideration
of $2.5 million.
On
August 10, 2023, the Company issued GEM a warrant (as subsequently amended, the GEM Warrant) granting it the right to purchase
up to 6% of the outstanding common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis as of the date of listing of our common stock on Nasdaq.
Accordingly, the warrant exercise price was reduced to $5.51 per share as of December 31, 2025. The warrant may be exercised by payment
of the per share amount in cash or through a cashless exercise.
The
Company did not effect any drawdowns under this agreement in 2025, and does not expect to effect any drawdowns in 2026.
**Investment
in AIIA Sponsor**
In
July 2025, the Company made a capital contribution of approximately $2.7 million to Sponsor, which serves as the sponsor of AI Acquisition,
in exchange for 1,912,833 units comprising ordinary shares and preference shares (together, the Sponsor Equity Interest).
The Companys contribution represents an approximate 49.9% interest in the Sponsor. AI Acquisition is a special purpose acquisition
company that intends to focus on opportunities with companies and/or strategic assets in high-impact private technology companies advancing
artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, as well as those involved in building, operating, or enabling next-generation
data center infrastructure. Sponsor was founded and organized by certain of the Companys executive officers and directors.
| 45 | | |
| | |
On
October 6, 2025, AI Acquisition completed its initial public offering, selling an aggregate of 13,800,000 Units at a price of $10.00
per unit, resulting in total gross proceeds of $138,000,000. In connection with the initial public offering, Sponsor purchased 269,000
private placement units at $10.00 per unit. At the close of the offering, Sponsor held 4,600,000 Class B ordinary shares of AI Infrastructure
and 269,000 private placement units.
As
of December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Sponsor Equity Interest was $17,137,000, as determined using a probability weighted expected
return method as described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in this Report. During the year ended December 31, 2025,
the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $14,477,000 in other income related to the change in fair value of this investment. This
non-cash gain was the primary driver of the Companys swing from a net loss to net income during 2025.
The
Companys Sponsor Equity Interest is a level 3 fair value measurement that requires significant unobservable inputs, including
the probability of AIIA consummating a business combination. An increase or decrease in any of the unobservable inputs could result in
a material change in the estimated fair value. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding
the fair value methodology.
**Bridge
Agreement**
On
September 11, 2023, the Company entered into a binding term sheet (Bridge Agreement) with eight investors to provide the
Company $500,000 of short-term bridge financing. The Bridge Agreement provided for the issuance of promissory notes, in an aggregate
principal amount of $625,000, reflecting a 20% original issue discount. The notes bore interest at 5% per annum and matured on March
11, 2024. In March 2024, the Company fully repaid the Bridge Agreement in the amount of approximately $683,000, representing principal,
redemption premium and interest.
**Other
Equity Issuances and Settlement Arrangements**
*Maxim
Payment and Settlement Agreement*
On
August 10, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (Maxim Settlement Agreement) with Maxim Group LLC, the
underwriter for the Companys initial public offering (Maxim). Pursuant to the Maxim Settlement Agreement, the Company
issued (a) 1,200 shares of common stock and (b) 1,127 Series A Preferred Shares in an amount equal in value to $1,127,000. The Series
A Preferred Shares accrue a dividend at the rate of 8% per annum, payable quarterly.
During
the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 10,167 shares of common stock upon the conversion of 551 shares of Series A Preferred
Shares. In November 2024, the Company redeemed in full the remaining 576 shares of Series A Preferred for an aggregate redemption price
of $663,740, which included cumulative unpaid preferred stock dividends totaling $87,740. As a result of this redemption there are no
shares of Series A Preferred issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
**Warrants**
On
various dates at the end of December 2023 and through early 2024, the Company entered a number of separate warrant exchange agreements
with various unaffiliated second-party warrant holders with respect to warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,605 shares of our common
stock (the Exchanged Warrants). Pursuant to these warrant exchange agreements, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,605
shares of common stock to those warrant holders in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of the Exchanged Warrants.
In
December 2023 and January 2024, holders of an aggregate of 400 and 287 public warrants, respectively, were exercised for an equal number
of shares of our common stock, generating net proceeds to us of $1,777,475.

**At
the Market Offering**
On
November 21, 2025, we put an ATM (At the Market) program, in place to allow us to sell shares of our common stock under
that program from time to time through Maxim Group LLC (Maxim) as agent in an at-the-market offering under a prospectus
supplement for aggregate sales proceeds of up to $10.0 million (the ATM Program). The ATM Program was amended twice in
January 2026 to increase the amount that may be sold under the ATM Program by an additional 7.9 million and an additional $35.1 million,
respectively (subject to any limitations imposed under SEC rules). The common stock is distributed at the market prices prevailing at
the time of sale. As a result, prices of the common stock sold under the ATM Program may vary between purchasers and during the period
of distribution. The ATM Agreement provides that Maxim is entitled to compensation for its services at a commission rate of 3.0% of the
gross sales price per share of common stock sold. During 2025, we sold 751,426 shares of our common stock under the ATM Program at an
average price of $0.95 per share for net proceeds of $713,372 after commissions and sale expenses.
**Cash
Flows**
As
of December 31, 2025, the Companys cash and cash equivalents were approximately $1.8 million. There was a liquidity reserve of
$500,000 in a separate bank account pledged as security to an aircraft lessor, which the Company records as restricted cash on its consolidated
balance sheets at December 31, 2025 and 2024, as well as a maintenance reserve of approximately $690,000 for the leased aircraft which
is included in deposits and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
The
following table summarizes our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

**Cash
Flow from Operating Activities**
Net
cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $8.2 million compared to $8.2 million for the year ended December
31, 2024. Despite the Company recording net income of $4.6 million in 2025, cash used in operations remained elevated because the $14.5
million unrealized gain on the change in fair value of other investments was a non-cash item. The non-cash unrealized gain was partially
offset by $1.6 million in stock-based compensation expense, $540,000 in non-cash operating lease costs, and $3,000 in depreciation and
amortization. Changes in operating assets and liabilities included a $1.3 million increase in accounts payable, a $109,000 decrease in
other current assets, and a $35,000 decrease in accounts receivable, which were offset by a $877,000 decrease in deferred revenue, a
$526,000 decrease in operating lease liability, and a $515,000 decrease in accrued liabilities.
**Cash
Flow from Investing Activities**
Net
cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $5.1 million as compared to $2.4 million in 2024. The increase
in cash used in investing activities was driven by: (i) $2.7 million invested in other investments (the capital contribution to Sponsor),
(ii) $1.7 million in additional aircraft deposits, and (iii) $765,000 contributed to the Companys joint venture with Consensus
Core. Investing activities in 2024 primarily consisted of $2.4 million in aircraft deposits.
**Cash
Flow from Financing Activities**
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $9.2 million, compared to $14.4 million in 2024. Cash
provided by financing activities in 2025 consisted primarily of $11.0 million in proceeds from the exercise of the Ionic Warrant for
shares of Series B Preferred Stock and $713,000 from sales of our common stock, partially offset by $2.5 million in offering costs. The
decrease in cash provided by financing activities compared to 2024 reflects the fact that 2024 included $11.9 million in proceeds from
the sale of common stock, $4.0 million from Ionic Warrant exercises, $1.5 million from the sale of Series B Preferred Stock, and $742,000
from warrant exercises, partially offset by $1.9 million in offering costs, $1.2 million for the redemption of Series A and Series A-1
Preferred Stock, and $669,000 in note repayments.

**Aircraft
Financing Arrangements**
In
November 2021 and April 2022, the Company entered into two separate five-year leasing arrangements for the acquisition of two of its
HondaJet Elite aircraft. At any time during their term, the Company has the option to purchase either aircraft from the lessor at the
aircrafts fair market value at that time. The leasing arrangements also require the Company to hold a combined liquidity reserve
of $500,000 in a separate bank account pledged as security to the lessor, which the Company records as restricted cash on its balance
sheet, as well as a maintenance reserve of approximately $690,000 for one of the leased aircraft. Events of default under the leasing
arrangements include, among other things, failure to make the monthly payments (with a 10-day cure period), default on other indebtedness,
breaches of covenants related to insurance and maintenance requirements, change of control or merger, insolvency and a material adverse
change in the Companys business, operations or financial condition. Please see Note 7 to the Companys financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a further description of these leasing arrangements.
As
of December 31, 2025, future minimum lease payments under the Companys operating lease totaled $503,250, with $7,468 of imputed
interest, resulting in a lease liability of $495,782, all of which is classified as current.
**Critical
Accounting Estimates**
**Going
Concern and Management Plans**
The
Company has limited operating history and has incurred losses from operations since its inception. These matters raise concern about
the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
During
the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with capital from its operations, and proceeds from sales of debt
or equity securities. The Company could, if necessary, reduce cash burn to preserve capital. There are no assurances, however, that management
will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional
capital, the Company may be required to reduce the near-term scope of its planned development and operations, which could delay implementation
of the Companys business plan and harm its business, financial condition and operating results. The consolidated balance sheets
do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.
**Use
of Estimates**
The
preparation of the consolidated 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
statement and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant
judgement. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Material
estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the fair value of options granted and the
fair value of other investments. Although considerable variability is likely to be inherent in these estimates, management believes that
the amounts provided are reasonable.
**Revenue
Recognition**
In
applying the guidance of ASC 606, the Company determines revenue recognition through five steps: (i) identification of the contract(s)
with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of
the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied.
| 48 | | |
| | |
Revenue
is derived from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, (i) fractional/whole aircraft sales, (ii) fractional ownership and
jet card programs, (iii) ad hoc charter through the Companys booking app and CharterGPT, (iv) direct chartering of its HondaJet
Elite aircraft by Cirrus, and (v) aircraft management. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the Companys promised
services. Deferred revenue represents customer prepayments for which the Company has not yet satisfied its performance obligations.
**Stock-Based
Compensation**
The
Company accounts for stock awards under ASC 718, CompensationStock Compensation. Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost
is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employees
requisite vesting period or over the nonemployees period of providing goods or services. The fair value of each stock option or
warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. During the years ended December 31, 2025
and 2024, stock-based compensation expense of $1,626,102 and $4,287,236, respectively, was recognized. As of December 31, 2025, there
was approximately $192,000 in unrecognized stock-based compensation, which will be recognized through September 2027.
**Trend
Information**
The
Companys business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along
with local, state, federal and foreign governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond Jet.AIs control in the
aviation and artificial intelligence industries, respectively, could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions in
aviation in particular may include but are not limited to: changes in the airline industry, fuel and operating costs, changes to
corporate governance best practices for executive flying, general demand for private jet travel, regulations on carbon emissions
from aviation and market acceptance of the Companys business model. These adverse conditions could affect the Companys
financial condition and the results of operations.
In
May 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger with flyExclusive, Inc. (NYSE American: FLYX)
for the sale of the Companys aviation business assets in an all-stock transaction, with closing expected in the first or second
quarter of 2026. Upon closing, the Company intends to operate primarily as an AI data center infrastructure company. This strategic transition
is expected to materially change the Companys revenue composition, cost structure, and operating profile in future periods.

**Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
to our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
| 49 | | |

**Managements
Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, under the supervision of our Audit Committee. Our internal control over financial reporting is
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 based on the framework in *Internal Control
- Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment
and those criteria, management believes that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.
As
a non-accelerated filer, our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to issue an attestation report on our internal
control over financial reporting.
**Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended on December 31, 2025 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

artificial intelligence, business and marketing experience.
**Family
Relationships**
There
are no familial relationships among the Jet.AI directors and executive officers.
**Board
Composition**
The
Board is comprised of seven directors and is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders,
the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third
annual meeting following election. Jet.AIs directors are among the three classes as follows:
| 
| 
| 
the
Class I directors are Lt. Col. Ran David and Jeffrey Woods and their terms will expire at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
the
Class II directors are William Yankus and Wrendon Timothy and their terms will expire at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders;
and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
the
Class III directors are Michael Winston, George Murnane and Ehud Talmor and their terms will expire at the 2026 annual meeting of
stockholders. | |
Directors
in a particular class are elected for three-year terms at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year in which their terms expire.
As a result, only one class of directors is elected at each annual meeting of Jet.AI stockholders, with the other classes continuing
for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Each directors term continues until the election and qualification of
his or her successor, or the earlier of his or her death, resignation or removal. This classification of the Board may have the effect
of delaying or preventing changes in Jet.AIs control or management.
The
Companys Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that only the Board can fill vacant directorships, including newly-created
seats. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors would be distributed pro rata among
the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class would consist of one-third of the authorized number of directors. The Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws also provide that Jet.AIs directors may only be removed for cause and by the affirmative vote of the
holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting
together as a single class.
| 53 | | |
| | |
**Director
Independence**
The
Board determined that each of the directors serving on the Board, other than Michael Winston and George Murnane, qualifies as an independent
director, as defined under the listing rules of Nasdaq, and the Board consists of a majority of independent directors,
as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to director independence requirements. In addition, Jet.AI is subject
to certain rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to the membership, qualifications and operations of the audit committee, as discussed
below.
**Board
Leadership Structure**
The
Board does not have a policy requiring the positions of the Chairperson of the board of directors and Chief Executive Officer to be separate
or held by the same individual. The members of the Board believe that this determination should be based on circumstances existing from
time to time, based on criteria that are in Jet.AIs best interests and the best interests of its stockholders, including the composition,
skills and experience of the board and its members, specific challenges faced by Jet.AI or the industry in which it operates and governance
efficiency. The Board adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, which provide for the appointment of a lead independent director at any
time when the Chairperson is not independent. Wrendon Timothy serves as the lead independent director.
**Board
Committees**
The
Board has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee, each of which
have the composition and responsibilities described below. The Board and its committees set schedules for meeting throughout the year
and can also hold special meetings and act by written consent from time to time, as appropriate. The Board delegates various responsibilities
and authority to its committees and the committees regularly report on their activities and actions to the full board of directors. Members
serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the Board. The Board may establish other committees
to facilitate the management of the Companys business as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.

**Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics**
The
Board adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of Jet.AIs directors, officers and employees, including
Jet.AIs principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing
similar functions. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on the Corporate Governance section of Jet.AIs website
at *https://investors.jet.ai/documents-charters*. In addition, Jet.AI has posted on the Corporate Governance section of Jet.AIs
website all disclosures that are required by law or the listing standards of Nasdaq concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any
provision of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
**Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation**
None
of the members of the Jet.AI compensation committee is or has been at any time one of Jet.AIs officers or employees. None of Jet.AIs
executive officers currently serve, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee
(or other board of directors committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of
directors) of any entity that has or has had one or more executive officers serving as a member of the Board or compensation committee.
**Limitation
on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers**
The
Certificate of Incorporation limits Jet.AIs directors liability to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. The DGCL
provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors,
except for liability:
| 
| 
| 
for
any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
for
any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
for
any unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
for
any breach of a directors duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders. | |
If
the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability
of Jet.AIs directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.
Delaware
law and the Bylaws provide that Jet.AI will, in certain situations, indemnify Jet.AIs directors and officers and may indemnify
other employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any indemnified person is also entitled, subject to certain
limitations, to advancement, direct payment or reimbursement of reasonable expenses (including attorneys fees and disbursements)
in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.
In
addition, Jet.AI has entered into separate indemnification agreements with Jet.AIs directors and officers. These agreements, among
other things, require Jet.AI to indemnify its directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments,
fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of Jet.AIs
directors or officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at Jet.AIs request.
Jet.AI
also maintains a directors and officers insurance policy pursuant to which Jet.AIs directors and officers are insured
against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. We believe these provisions in the Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws, and these indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and
officers.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or control persons, in the
opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
| 56 | |
**Section
16(a) Reports**
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Companys directors and executive officers, persons who beneficially own more than 10% of
a registered class of the Companys equity securities, and certain other persons to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership
on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC, and to furnish the Company with copies of the forms. Based on its review of the forms filed with the
SEC, or representations from reporting persons, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 all of its directors,
executive officers, and greater than 10% beneficial owners filed such reports in a timely manner; provided however, in December 2025
each of our executive officers (being Messrs. Winston, McNulty and Murnane filed a Form 4 to report an option grant received in September
2024).
****
**Insider
Trading Policy**
****
The
Board has not yet adopted an insider trading policies and procedures governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of the registrants
securities by directors, officers and employees, of the Company or by the Company itself due to other pressing matters fully occupying
the resources of a small management team. The Company expects to adopt such a policy before June 30, 2026.
**Item
11 Executive Compensation**
Jet.AI
is a smaller reporting company and an emerging growth company within the meaning of the JOBS Act and has opted to comply
with the executive compensation disclosure rules applicable to such companies. These rules provide for reduced compensation disclosure
for the principal executive officer and the two most highly compensated executive officers other than the principal executive officer
(the named executive officers). This section provides an overview of our executive compensation programs, including a narrative
description of the material factors necessary to understand the information disclosed in the summary compensation table below. In order
to provide a fuller understanding of the compensation arrangements with our executive officers, the Company has presented full year 2025
and 2024 information, including compensation paid by Jet Token prior to the completion of the Business Combination.
For
fiscal year 2025 and 2024, the named executive officers were:

Michael
Winston, Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer; | |
|

Jet.AI
believes its compensation programs should promote the success of the Company and align executive incentives with the long-term interests
of its stockholders. Jet.AIs compensation programs reflect its startup origins and consist primarily of salary, bonus and equity
awards. As Jet.AIs needs evolve, it intends to continue to evaluate its philosophy and compensation programs as circumstances
require.

*New
Employment Agreements*
**
On
December 31, 2025, we entered into amended and restated employment agreements (the Employment Agreements) with Mr. Winston
and Mr. Murnane. The initial term of each Employment Agreement began on December 31, 2025, and will end on December 31, 2028, subject
to potential automatic renewal as described in each agreement.
Effective
January 1, 2026, Mr. Winston will receive an annual base salary of $425,000 and Mr. Murnane will receive an annual base salary of $300,000.
During the term of each Employment Agreement, the Board has the right to increase, but not decrease, each executives salary. The
Board will increase each executives salary beginning on January 1 of each year by an amount at least equal to the product of the
executives annual salary for the prior calendar year and the increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers for such
year. Additionally, Mr. Winston and Mr. Murnane are eligible for additional annual salary merit increases based on the evaluation of
his performance as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.
In
the event that the Company completes a financing, or series of financings or strategic transactions, resulting in the Companys
market capitalization reaching at least $250 million, Mr. Winstons annual base salary will automatically increase to $550,000
and Mr. Murnanes annual base salary will automatically increase to $425,000 (each, an Increased Salary). If the
Companys market capitalization following such financing equals or exceeds $100 million, but is less than $250 million, the executives
annual base salary will be adjusted on a straight-line prorated basis between the executives then-current base salary and the
applicable Increased Salary.
Each
executive is eligible for a discretionary annual cash bonus of a target amount equal to 100% of their salary (Target Bonus Amount),
subject to review and adjustment by the Board. Whether each executive earns any bonus will be dependent upon the executives continuous
performance of services to the Company through the last date of the applicable performance period and the achievement by the executive
and the Company of the applicable performance targets and goals set by the Board or its Compensation Committee. The Board or its Compensation
Committee will determine the extent to which each executive and the Company have achieved the performance goals and the amount of the
bonus, if any. Any such discretionary bonus could be above or below the Target Bonus Amount and up to 40% of the Target Bonus Amount
may be paid in immediately vested stock as determined by the Board or its Compensation Committee.
| 59 | |
Mr.
Winston and Mr. Murnane are eligible to participate in any equity incentive plan, restricted share plan, share award plan, stock appreciation
rights plan, stock option plan or similar plan adopted by the Company on the same terms and conditions applicable to other senior executives.
Additionally, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreements), any then-unvested outstanding restricted
common stock and options previously granted under the Companys equity incentive plans will become fully vested. Further, Mr. Winston
and Mr. Murnane are each entitled to receive a special cash bonus of $1,500,000 upon the effective date of the anticipated Change of
Control that will occur as a result of the proposed transactions between the Company and flyExclusive,.
If
either Mr. Winston or Mr. Murnane is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason (each as defined in the Employment Agreements),
then:
| 
| the
executive will be entitled to receive, in cash, an amount equal to any earned but unpaid
salary owed by the Company to the executive as of the termination date; | |
| 
| the
executive will be entitled to receive, in cash, a lump sum of an amount equal to the executives
salary that would have been payable beginning on the termination date and ending on the third
anniversary of the termination date (the Severance Period); | |
| 
| the
executive will be entitled to receive, in cash, as a one-time lump sum, the Target Bonus
Amount for each year during the Severance Period, assuming full achievement of performance
targets under and the Companys long-term and short-term incentive plans; | |
| 
| the
executive will be entitled to receive the same monthly insurance and other benefits under
his Employment Agreement during the Severance Period; and | |
| 
| all
unvested restricted shares, options, and warrants granted to the executive during the term
of his Employment Agreement will become fully vested and non-forfeitable as of the termination
date. | |
*2024
and 2025 Equity Awards*
During
2024, Mr. Winston, Mr. Murnane and Mr. McNulty received options to purchase 1,778 shares, 267 shares and 400 shares of our Common Stock,
respectively. None of our named executive officers were granted stock options during 2025.
On
the recommendation of an independent third-party executive compensation consultant, the Board awarded each of Messrs. Winston, Murnane,
and McNulty 10 PSUs for each of Messrs. Winston, Murnane, and McNulty. These PSU Awards represent the right to receive shares of our
Common Stock upon vesting of the PSU, which will occur either (i) incrementally upon the achievement of certain defined growth of our
market capitalization or (ii) entirely upon (A) a Change in Control (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), unless determined otherwise
by a unanimous vote of the disinterested members of the Board, (B) termination of the holders employment without Cause (as defined
in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), or (C) resignation of employment by the holder for Good Reason (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan).
We have agreed to issue and deliver shares of our Common Stock underlying vested PSUs as soon as administratively practicable after vesting,
but in no event later than the fifteenth day of the third month immediately following the end of our fiscal year in which the PSU vested.
We believe that the Transactions with flyExclusive will qualify as a Change in Control for purposes of the PSUs, which would result in
all PSUs becoming immediately vested.
Absent
a Change in Control, the first PSU vests upon us achieving, and sustaining for sixty (60) days, $5 million in market capitalizationdefined
as the product of (i) our outstanding shares of Common Stock as of a certain date, multiplied by (ii) the value weighted average price
of our common stock on the same date. This vesting trigger has been met and, therefore, we are obligated to issue the shares of Common
Stock underlying one PSU for each PSU holder no later than March 15, 2026, in accordance with the terms of each PSU holders PSU
award agreement. Each additional PSU will vest upon us achieving, and sustaining for sixty (60) days, an additional $5 million in market
capitalization (up to a market capitalization of $50 million).
| 60 | |
Upon
vesting, a holder of a PSU is entitled to receive a number of shares of our common stock equal to (i) the product of (A) the amount of
our market capitalization metric that triggered vesting*multiplied*by (B) the market cap percentage set forth in the
holders PSU award agreement,*divided*by(ii) the weighted average price of our common stock on the date the PSU
vests (rounded down). We calibrated the PSU Awards to generate less than or equal to 19% of the then current shares of our Common Stock
outstanding, consistent with the scale of a reasonable and customary equity compensation plan. For purposes of the formula the market
cap percentages in the table set forth below have been assigned to our named executive officers:

**Equity
Grant Timing**
The
Board does not determine the timing or terms of equity awards, including stock options or similar awards whose exercise price is related
to the market value of our common stock, in connection with the release of material nonpublic information that is likely to result in
changes to the price of our common stock, such as a significant positive or negative earnings announcement, and we do not time the public
release of such information based on stock option grant dates. During fiscal year 2025, there were no equity awards granted to any of
our named executive officers within either four business days before or one business day after the filing of our Annual Report on Form
10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and any Current Report on Form 8-K that contained any material nonpublic information.

**The
Omnibus Incentive Plan**
In
connection with the Business Combination, we adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan. At the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders our stockholders
approved the Omnibus Incentive Plan that established a fixed number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the plan and to
eliminate an evergreen provision. At the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders approved an amendment to the Omnibus Incentive
Plan that increased the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the plan. The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for the
grant of equity awards to employees, outside directors, and consultants, including the direct award or sale of shares, stock options,
and restricted stock units to purchase shares. The Omnibus Incentive Plan is a continuation of the 2018 Plan and 2021 Plan, which were
assumed from Jet Token and amended, restated and re-named into the form of the Omnibus Incentive Plan effective as of the consummation
of the Business Combination. As of the date of this Report, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under
the Omnibus Incentive Plan is 775,000 sharesof Common Stock *plus*an amount of shares of Common Stock that will account
for all shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the vesting of the PSUs previously granted to certain members of our executive
management team that are available for future issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan.
**Summary**
The
following is a summary of the principal features of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the full text of the Omnibus Incentive Plan.
**Purpose**
The
purpose of the Omnibus Incentive Plan is to advance the interests of Jet.AI and its stockholders by enabling Jet.AI and its subsidiaries
and affiliates to attract and retain qualified individuals to perform services, by providing incentive compensation for such individuals
in a form that is linked to the growth and profitability of Jet.AI and increases in stockholder value, and by providing opportunities
for equity participation that align the interests of recipients with those of its stockholders.
**Administration**
The
board of directors of Jet.AI administers the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The board has the authority under the Omnibus Incentive Plan to
delegate plan administration to a committee of the board or a subcommittee thereof. The board of directors of Jet.AI or the committee
of the board to which administration of the Omnibus Incentive Plan has been delegated is referred to in this Report as the Committee.
Subject to certain limitations, the Committee will have broad authority under the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan to take certain
actions under the plan.
To
the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to certain limitations as provided in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Committee may
delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more officers of Jet.AI such administrative duties or powers under the Omnibus Incentive
Plan, as it may deem advisable.
**No
Re-pricing**
The
Committee may not, without prior approval of the stockholders of Jet.AI, effect any re-pricing of any previously granted underwater
option or SAR by: (i) amending or modifying the terms of the option or SAR to lower the exercise price or grant price; (ii) canceling
the underwater option or SAR in exchange for (A) cash; (B) replacement options or SARs having a lower exercise price or grant price;
or (C) other awards; or (iii) repurchasing the underwater options or SARs and granting new awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. An
option or SAR will be deemed to be underwater at any time when the fair market value of Common Stock of Jet.AI is less
than the exercise price of the option or the grant price of the SAR.
****
**Stock
Subject to the Omnibus Incentive Plan**
The
maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan is 775,000 sharesof Common Stock
*plus*an amount of shares of Common Stock that will account for all shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the
vesting of the PSUs previously granted to certain members of our executive management team.
Shares
that are issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan or that are subject to outstanding awards will be applied to reduce the maximum number
of shares remaining available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan only to the extent they are used; provided, however, that
the full number of shares subject to a stock-settled SAR or other stock-based award will be counted against the shares authorized for
issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, regardless of the number of shares actually issued upon settlement of such SAR or other stock-based
award. Any shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations on awards issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, any shares withheld
to pay the exercise price or grant price of awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan and any shares not issued or delivered as a result
of the net exercise of an outstanding option or settlement of a SAR in shares will not be counted against the shares authorized
for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan and will be available again for grant under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Shares subject
to awards settled in cash will again be available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Any shares
related to awards granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without
the issuance of the shares will be available again for grant under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Any shares repurchased by Jet.AI on the
open market using the proceeds from the exercise of an award will not increase the number of shares available for future grant of awards.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity
acquired in any form of combination by Jet.AI or a subsidiary or otherwise will not be counted against shares available for issuance
pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The shares available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan may be authorized and unissued
shares or treasury shares.
| 63 | |
**Adjustments**
In
the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split,
combination of shares, rights offering, divestiture or extraordinary dividend (including a spin off) or other similar change in the corporate
structure or shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI, the Committee will make the appropriate adjustment or substitution. These adjustments
or substitutions may be to the number and kind of securities and property that may be available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive
Plan. In order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of participants, the Committee may also adjust the number, kind, and
exercise price or grant price of securities or other property subject to outstanding awards.
**Eligible
Participants**
****
Awards
may be granted to employees, non-employee directors and consultants of Jet.AI or any of its subsidiaries. A consultant
for purposes of the Omnibus Incentive Plan is one who renders services to Jet.AI or its subsidiaries that are not in connection with
the offer and sale of its securities in a capital raising transaction and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market
for its securities.
**Types
of Awards**
****
The
Omnibus Incentive Plan permits Jet.AI to grant non-statutory and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs),
restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance awards, non-employee director awards and other stock-based
awards. Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other type of award.
**
*Stock
Options*
Stock
options entitle the holder to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI at a specified price, which is called the
exercise price, subject to the terms and conditions of the stock option grant. The Omnibus Incentive Plan permits the grant of both non-statutory
and incentive stock options. Incentive stock options may be granted solely to eligible employees of Jet.AI or its subsidiaries. Each
stock option granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan must be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the exercise price, the
term, the number of shares underlying the stock option, the vesting and any other conditions. The exercise price of each stock option
granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock of Jet.AI as of the
date the award is granted to a participant. Fair market value under the Omnibus Incentive Plan means, unless otherwise determined by
the Committee, the closing sale price of Common Stock of Jet.AI, as reported on Nasdaq, on the grant date. The Committee will fix the
terms and conditions of each stock option, subject to certain restrictions, such as a ten-year maximum term.
*Stock
Appreciation Rights*
A
SAR is a right granted to receive payment of cash, stock, or a combination of both equal to the difference between the fair market value
of shares of our Common Stock and the grant price of such shares. Each SAR granted must be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies
the grant price, the term, and such other provisions as the board may determine. The grant price of a SAR must be at least 100% of the
fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The board fixes the term of each SAR, but SARs granted under the Omnibus
Incentive Plan will not be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the SAR is granted.
| 64 | |
*Restricted
Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units*
**
Restricted
stock awards, restricted stock units, or RSUs, and/or deferred stock units, or DSUs, may be granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan.
A restricted stock award is an award of Common Stock of Jet.AI that is subject to restrictions on transfer and risk of forfeiture upon
certain events, typically including termination of service. RSUs are similar to restricted stock awards except that no shares are actually
awarded to the participant on the grant date. DSUs permit the holder to receive shares of Common Stock or the equivalent value in cash
or other property at a future time as determined by the board. The Committee will determine, and set forth in an award agreement, the
period of restriction, the number of shares of restricted stock awards or the number of RSUs or DSUs granted, and other such conditions
or restrictions.
*Performance
Awards*
Performance
awards, in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI, other awards or a combination of both, may be granted under the Omnibus
Incentive Plan in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee may determine. The Committee shall determine, and set forth in an
award agreement, the amount of cash and/or number of shares or other awards, the performance goals, the performance periods and other
terms and conditions. The extent to which the participant achieves his or her performance goals during the applicable performance period
will determine the amount of cash and/or number of shares or other awards earned by the participant. The Committee retains discretion
to adjust performance awards either upward or downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as the Committee
determines.
*Non-Employee
Director Awards; Limit on Non-Employee Director Compensation*
The
Committee at any time and from time-to-time may approve resolutions providing for the automatic or other grant to non-employee directors
of awards. Such awards may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem, and may be granted pursuant to such terms, conditions and
limitations as the Committee may establish in its sole discretion consistent with the provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Committee
may permit non-employee directors to elect to receive all or any portion of their annual retainers, meeting fees or other fees in restricted
stock, RSUs, DSUs or other stock-based awards in lieu of cash. Under the Omnibus Incentive Plan the sum of any cash compensation, or
other compensation, and the value (determined as of the grant date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) of awards granted to a non-employee director as compensation for services
as a non-employee director during any fiscal year may not exceed $750,000 (increased to $800,000 with respect to any Non-Employee Director
serving as Chairman of the Board or Lead Independent Director).
**
*Other
Stock-Based Awards*
**
Consistent
with the terms of the plan, other stock-based awards may be granted to participants in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee
may determine.
*Dividend
Equivalents*
**
With
the exception of stock options, SARs, and unvested performance awards, awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan may, in the Committees
discretion, earn dividend equivalents with respect to the cash or stock dividends or other distributions that would have been paid on
the shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI covered by such award had such shares been issued and outstanding on the dividend payment date.
However, no dividends may be paid on awards until they are vested. Such dividend equivalents will be converted to cash or additional
shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as determined by the Committee.
| 65 | |
**Termination
of Employment or Other Service**
The
Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for certain default rules in the event of a termination of a participants employment or other
service. These default rules may be modified in an award agreement or an individual agreement between Jet.AI and a participant. If a
participants employment or other service with Jet.AI is terminated for cause, then all outstanding awards held by such participant
will be terminated and forfeited. In the event a participants employment or other service with Jet.AI is terminated by reason
of death, disability or retirement, then:
| 
| 
| 
All
outstanding stock options (excluding non-employee director options in the case of retirement) and SARs held by the participant will,
to the extent exercisable, remain exercisable for a period of one year after such termination, but not later than the date the stock
options or SARs expire; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
All
outstanding stock options and SARs that are not exercisable and all outstanding restricted stock will be terminated and forfeited;
and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
All
outstanding unvested RSUs, performance awards and other stock-based awards held by the participant will terminate and be forfeited.
However, with respect to any awards that vest based on the achievement of performance goals, if a participants employment
or other service with Jet.AI or any subsidiary is terminated prior to the end of the performance period of such award, but after
the conclusion of a portion of the performance period (but in no event less than one year), the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
cause shares to be delivered or payment made with respect to the participants award, but only if otherwise earned for the
entire performance period and only with respect to the portion of the applicable performance period completed at the date of such
event, with proration based on the number of months or years that the participant was employed or performed services during the performance
period. | |
In
the event a participants employment or other service with Jet.AI is terminated by reason other than for cause, death, disability
or retirement, then:
| 
| 
| 
All
outstanding stock options (including non-employee director options) and SARs held by the participant that then are exercisable will
remain exercisable for three months after the date of such termination, but will not be exercisable later than the date the stock
options or SARs expire; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
All
outstanding restricted stock will be terminated and forfeited; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
All
outstanding unvested RSUs, performance awards and other stock-based awards will be terminated and forfeited. However, with respect
to any awards that vest based on the achievement of performance goals, if a participants employment or other service with
Jet.AI or any subsidiary is terminated prior to the end of the performance period of such award, but after the conclusion of a portion
of the performance period (but in no event less than one year), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cause shares to be delivered
or payment made with respect to the participants award, but only if otherwise earned for the entire performance period and
only with respect to the portion of the applicable performance period completed at the date of such event, with proration based on
the number of months or years that the participant was employed or performed services during the performance period. | |
**Modification
of Rights upon Termination**
****
Upon
a participants termination of employment or other service with Jet.AI or any subsidiary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion
(which may be exercised at any time on or after the grant date, including following such termination) cause stock options or SARs (or
any part thereof) held by such participant as of the effective date of such termination to terminate, become or continue to become exercisable
or remain exercisable following such termination of employment or service, and restricted stock, RSUs, DSUs, performance awards, non-employee
director awards and other stock-based awards held by such participant as of the effective date of such termination to terminate, vest
or become free of restrictions and conditions to payment, as the case may be, following such termination of employment or service, in
each case in the manner determined by the Committee; provided, however, that no stock option or SAR may remain exercisable beyond its
expiration date any such action by the Committee adversely affecting any outstanding award will not be effective without the consent
of the affected participant, except to the extent the Committee is authorized by the Omnibus Incentive Plan to take such action.
**Forfeiture
and Recoupment**
If
a participant is determined by the Committee to have taken any action while providing services to Jet.AI or within one year after termination
of such services, that would constitute cause or an adverse action, as such terms are defined in the Omnibus
Incentive Plan, all rights of the participant under the Omnibus Incentive Plan and any agreements evidencing an award then held by the
participant will terminate and be forfeited. The Committee has the authority to rescind the exercise, vesting, issuance or payment in
respect of any awards of the participant that were exercised, vested, issued or paid, and require the participant to pay to Jet.AI, within
10 days of receipt of notice, any amount received or the amount gained as a result of any such rescinded exercise, vesting, issuance
or payment. Jet.AI may defer the exercise of any stock option or SAR for up to six months after receipt of notice of exercise in order
for the Board to determine whether cause or adverse action exists. Jet.AI is entitled to withhold and deduct
future wages or make other arrangements to collect any amount due.
| 66 | |
In
addition, if Jet.AI is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance, as a result of misconduct, with any
financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, then any participant who is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture
under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will reimburse Jet.AI for the amount of any award received by such individual under
the Omnibus Incentive Plan during the 12 month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC, as the case may be,
of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement. Jet.AI also may seek to recover any award made as required
by the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any other clawback, forfeiture or recoupment provision
required by applicable law or under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which Common Stock of Jet.AI is then listed
or traded or any policy adopted by Jet.AI.
**Effect
of Change in Control**
Generally,
a change in control will mean:
| 
| 
| 
The
acquisition, other than from Jet.AI, by any individual, entity or group of beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
The
consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of Jet.AI with respect to which all or substantially all of the individuals
or entities who were the beneficial owners of Common Stock of Jet.AI immediately prior to the transaction do not, following the transaction,
beneficially own more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and voting securities of the corporation resulting from
the transaction; or | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
A
complete liquidation or dissolution of Jet.AI or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Jet.AI. | |
Subject
to the terms of the applicable award agreement or an individual agreement between Jet.AI and a participant, upon a change in control,
the Committee may, in its discretion, determine whether some or all outstanding options and SARs shall become exercisable in full or
in part, whether the restriction period and performance period applicable to some or all outstanding restricted stock awards and RSUs
shall lapse in full or in part and whether the performance measures applicable to some or all outstanding awards shall be deemed to be
satisfied. The Committee may further require that shares of stock of the corporation resulting from such a change in control, or a parent
corporation thereof, be substituted for some or all of the shares of Common Stock of Jet.AI subject to an outstanding award and that
any outstanding awards, in whole or in part, be surrendered to Jet.AI by the holder, to be immediately cancelled by Jet.AI, in exchange
for a cash payment, shares of capital stock of the corporation resulting from or succeeding Jet.AI or a combination of both cash and
such shares of stock.
**Governing
Law; Mandatory Jurisdiction**
Except
to the extent as provided in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the
Omnibus Incentive Plan and any rules, regulations and actions relating to the Omnibus Incentive Plan will be governed by and construed
exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, notwithstanding the conflicts of laws principles of any jurisdictions.
Unless otherwise expressly provided in an applicable award agreement, Jet.AI and recipients of an award under the Omnibus Incentive Plan
irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the Federal or State courts of the State of Delaware relative to any and all disputes,
issues and/or claims that may arise out of or relate to the Omnibus Incentive Plan or any related award agreement, with such jurisdiction
and venue selected by and at the sole discretion of Jet.AI.
**Term,
Termination and Amendment**
Unless
sooner terminated by the Board, the Omnibus Incentive Plan will terminate at midnight on the day before the ten year anniversary of its
effective date. No award will be granted after termination of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, but awards outstanding upon termination of
the Omnibus Incentive Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions and the terms and conditions
of the Omnibus Incentive Plan.
| 67 | |
Subject

**Jet
Token Prior Option Plans**
General.
On June 4, 2018, Jet Tokens board of directors adopted the Jet Token Inc. 2018 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the 2018 Plan).
The 2018 Plan provided for the grant of equity awards to employees, and consultants, to purchase shares of Jet Tokens common stock.
As of December 31, 2020, up to 3,434 shares of its common stock could be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2018 Plan. During
the year ended December 31, 2021, the 2018 Plan was amended three times to increase the total number of shares reserved for issuance
thereunder. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan was 775,000 and 10,301
shares, respectively. The 2018 Plan is administered by Jet Tokens board of directors.
In
August 2021, Jet Tokens board of directors adopted the Jet Token Inc. 2021 Stock Plan (the 2021 Plan). The 2021
plan provided for the grant of equity awards to employees, outside directors, and consultants, including the direct award or sale of
shares, stock options, and restricted stock units to purchase shares. As of December 31, 2021, up to 688 shares of non-voting common
stock may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2021 Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the 2021 Plan was amended
to increase the number of shares of non-voting common stock authorized under the 2021 Plan to 2,063. In the event that shares of non-voting
common stock subject to outstanding options or other securities under the Jet Tokens 2018 Stock Open and Grant Plan expire or
become exercisable in accordance with their terms, such shares shall be automatically transferred to the 2021 Plan and added to the number
of shares then available for issuance under the 2021 Plan.
Plan
Administration. The Jet Token Board administered the Jet Token Option Plan. The compensation committee of the Board currently administers
the Jet Token Option Plan following the Closing Date.
Types
of Awards. The Jet Token Option Plan provides for the grant of incentive Jet Token Options, non-statutory Jet Token Options, Jet
Token Restricted Stock, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights.
Stock
Options. The Jet Token Board has the discretion to grant incentive or non-statutory Jet Token Options under the Jet Token Option
Plan, provided that incentive Jet Token Options may only be granted to employees. The exercise price per share applicable to such Jet
Token Options must generally be equal to at least the fair market value per share of Jet Token Common Stock on the date of grant. Subject
to the provisions of the Jet Token Option Plan, the Jet Token Board has the discretion to determine the remaining terms of the Jet Token
Options (e.g., vesting). After the termination of a participants service, the participant may only exercise his or her Jet Token
Option, to the extent vested, for a specified period of time stated in his or her option agreement. Generally, if termination is due
to death or disability, the Jet Token Option will remain exercisable for 18 months and 12 months following the termination of service,
respectively. In all other cases except for a termination for cause, the Jet Token Option will generally remain exercisable for three
months following the termination of service. In the event of a termination for cause, the Jet Token Option will immediately terminate.
However, in no event may a Jet Token Option be exercised later than the expiration of its maximum term.
Restricted
Stock. The Jet Token Board has the discretion to grant Jet Token Restricted Stock under the Jet Token Option Plan. Jet Token Restricted
Stock are generally shares of Jet Token Common Stock that are issued or sold to a participant pursuant to the Jet Token Option Plan and
subject to repurchase by Jet Token under certain circumstances and that are fully vested at grant or that will vest in accordance with
terms and conditions established by the Jet Token Board, in its sole discretion. The Jet Token Board has the discretion to determine
the number of shares that the participant may receive or purchase, the price to be paid (if any), and the time by which the participant
must accept the shares/offer.
Restricted
Stock Units. The Jet Token Board has the discretion to grant restricted stock units under the Jet Token Option Plan. Each restricted
stock unit is a bookkeeping entry representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of Jet Token Common Stock. The Jet
Token Board, in its discretion, determines whether restricted stock units should be granted, the total units granted and/or the vesting
terms applicable to such units. Participants holding restricted stock units will hold no voting rights by virtue of such restricted stock
units. The Jet Token Board may, in its sole discretion, award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of restricted stock units.
Restricted stock units may be settled in cash, shares of Jet Token Common Stock, as applicable, or any combination thereof or in any
other form of consideration, as determined by the Jet Token Board, in its sole discretion.
| 68 | |
Stock
Appreciation Rights. The Jet Token Board has the discretion to grant stock appreciation rights under the Jet Token Option Plan and
to determine the terms and conditions of each stock appreciation right, except that the exercise price for each stock appreciation right
cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares of Jet Token Common Stock on the date of grant. Upon exercise
of a stock appreciation right, a participant will receive payment from Jet Token in an amount determined by multiplying the difference
between the fair market value of a share on the date of exercise over the exercise price by the number of shares with respect to which
the stock appreciation right is exercised. Stock appreciation rights may be paid in cash, shares of Jet Token Common Stock, or any combination
thereof, or in any other form of consideration, as determined by the Jet Token Board in its discretion. Stock appreciation rights are
exercisable at the times and on the terms established by the Jet Token Board, in its discretion.
Non-transferability
of Awards. Unless the Jet Token Board provides otherwise, awards granted under the Jet Token Option Plan are generally not transferable.
Certain
Adjustments. In the event of certain corporate events or changes in Jet Tokens capitalization, to prevent diminution or enlargement
of the benefits or potential benefits available under the Jet Token Option Plan, the Jet Token Board will make adjustments to one or
more of the number, kind and class of securities that may be delivered under the Jet Token Option Plan and/or the number, kind, class
and price of securities covered by each outstanding award.
Dissolution
or liquidation. In the event of Jet Tokens dissolution or liquidation, each outstanding award will terminate immediately prior
to the consummation of such action, unless otherwise determined by the Jet Token Board.
Change
in Control. The Jet Token Option Plan provides that in the event of a change in control, unless otherwise provided in the applicable
award agreement or as determined by the Jet Token Board at the time of grant, outstanding awards will be assumed, canceled if not exercised/settled
or cashed out in lieu of exercise as determined by the Jet Token Board.
Amendment
or Termination. The Jet Token Board may amend or terminate the Jet Token Option Plan at any time, provided such action does not impair
the rights or obligations of any participant without his or her consent. In addition, stockholder approval must be obtained to the extent
necessary and desirable to comply with applicable laws.
**Director
Compensation**
Neither
Mr. Winston nor Mr. Murnane receives additional compensation for service on our Board.
**Non-Employee
Director Compensation Arrangements**
Following
the Business Combination, the compensation committee recommended, and the Board approved, a Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy
(the Policy). The Policy has been designed to attract and retain high quality non-employee directors by providing competitive
compensation and aligning their interests with the interests of our stockholders through equity awards. This Policy provides for an annual
cash retainer to each eligible non-employee director of $50,000. In addition, each of the following is entitled to an additional annual
retainer in the following amounts:
| 
|

| 
| 
| 
Compensation
Committee Chair: $10,000 | |

the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, as amended, the non-executive directors of the Company are also entitled to receive the
equity compensation under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, At the close of business on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders, each
person who is then a non-employee director, will automatically receive a restricted stock unit (RSU) award having a value
of $25,000 and a restricted stock grant of $25,000. Each annual RSU and annual restricted stock grant will vest on the date of the following
years annual meeting (or the date immediately preceding the date of the following years annual meeting if the non-employee
directors service as a director ends at such meeting as a result of the directors failure to be re-elected or the director
not standing for re-election. The vesting of each annual RSU and annual restricted stock grant is subject to the non-employee directors
continuous service on the applicable vesting date of each such awards.
| 69 | |
For
each non-employee director who remains in continuous service with the Company until immediately prior to the closing of a Change in Control
(as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), such non-employee directors then-outstanding annual RSU and annual restricted stock
grant will become fully vested immediately prior to the closing of such Change in Control. The grants will be eligible for deferred settlement
in accordance with such deferral program as may be established by the Company and approved by the Board.

Party Transactions in Connection with and Subsequent to the Business Combination**
**Maxim
Payment and Settlement Agreement**
On
August 10, 2023, we entered into a settlement agreement (Maxim Settlement Agreement) with Maxim Group LLC, the underwriter
for our initial public offering (Maxim). Pursuant to the Maxim Settlement Agreement, we issued to Maxim Partners, (a) 270,000
shares of common stock to settle our payment obligations under the underwriting agreement dated on or about August 11, 2021, by and between
us and Maxim and (b) 1,127 Series A Preferred Shares in an amount equal in value to $1,127,000. Following the issuance of the securities,
Maxim beneficially owned greater than five percent of our common stock. The Series A Preferred Shares accrued interest at the rate of
8% per annum (which would increase to 18% if we failed to meet certain obligations under the terms thereof), payable quarterly and, at
our option, in shares of common stock. The Series A Preferred Shares were convertible into 112,700 shares of common stock. We also issued
115,000 shares of common stock to Maxim Partners on August 16, 2021, to meet a payment obligation under the underwriting agreement in
connection with our IPO, representing a value of $9.00 per share reflecting an allocation of the $10.00 per Unit IPO price. The shares
described above were subject to a registration rights agreement.
We
were required to redeem all the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares on August 10, 2024, which was automatically extended by an additional
three (3) month period because we had not closed upon one or more equity financings that, in total, resulted in gross proceeds to us
of $10.0 million or greater.
In
July 2024, we and Maxim entered into an amendment to the Maxim Settlement Agreement and agreed to, among other things, amend the definition
of the Series A Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Shares and certain restrictions with respect to our shares
of common stock that Maxim may acquire upon the conversion of its Series A Preferred Shares.
During
2024, we issued 10,167 shares of common stock upon the conversion of 551 Series A Preferred Shares. In November 2024, we redeemed in
full all of the remaining 576 Series A Preferred Shares for an aggregate redemption price of $663,740. As a result of the redemption,
there are no Series A Preferred Shares issued and outstanding.
**Sponsor
Settlement Agreement**
On August 10, 2023, we entered into settlement agreement (Sponsor Settlement Agreement) with OAC Sponsor Ltd., a Cayman
Islands exempted company (the Sponsor). The Sponsor beneficially owned more than five percent of our common stock at the
time the parties entered into the Sponsor Settlement Agreement. Pursuant to the Sponsor Settlement Agreement, we issued 575 Series A-1
Preferred Shares to settle our payment obligations under a promissory note in the principal amount of $575,000 dated November 14, 2022
in favor of Sponsor. The Series A-1 Preferred Shares accrued interest at the rate of 5% per annum (which would increase to 18% if we
failed to meet certain obligations under the terms thereof), payable quarterly in cash. The Series A-1 Preferred Shares were convertible
into 57,500 shares of common stock. The shares described above were subject to a registration rights agreement between us and the Sponsor.
We
were required to redeem all the outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Shares on August 10, 2024, which was automatically extended by an additional
three (3) month period because we had not closed upon one or more equity financings that, in total, resulted in gross proceeds to us
of $10.0 million or greater.
In
August 2024, Sponsor agreed to waive certain notice and redemption rights in favor of Sponsor pursuant to terms of the Series A-1 Preferred
Shares held by Sponsor related to our equity financings in consideration of $100,000 which was paid in October 2024.
In
October 2024, we redeemed in full all of the previously issued and outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Shares by paying the holder the requisite
per share redemption price together with all accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares. As a result of this redemption there are no
Series A-1 Preferred Shares issued and outstanding.
**Bridge
Agreement**
On
September 11, 2023, we entered into a binding term sheet (Bridge Agreement) with eight investors to provide us $500,000
of short-term bridge financing pending our receipt of funds from our other existing financing arrangements.
The
Bridge Agreement was entered into with, and funding was provided by, Michael Winston, the Executive Chairman of the Board and Interim
Chief Executive Officer, Wrendon Timothy, a member of the Board and all three committees of the Board, William Yankus, a member of the
Board and two of its committees, and Oxbridge RE Holdings Limited, one of our significant stockholders for which Mr. Timothy serves as
a director and officer, as well as the four other investors named in the Bridge Agreement.
| 72 | |
The
Bridge Agreement provided for the issuance of Notes, in an aggregate principal amount of $625,000, reflecting a 20% original issue discount.
The Notes bore interest at 5% per annum and matured on March 11, 2024. We were required to redeem the Notes with 100% of the proceeds
of any equity or debt financing at a redemption premium of 110% of the principal amount of the Notes. In March 2024, we fully repaid
the Bridge Agreement in the amount of approximately $683,000, representing principal, redemption premium and interest.
**Maxim
Advisory Agreement**
On
January 5, 2024, we entered into an agreement (the Agreement) pursuant to which it retained Maxim as a financial advisor
and investment banker to provide general financial advisory and investment banking services.
As
consideration for Maxims services pursuant to the Agreement, we paid Maxim fees in cash totaling $75,000. In addition, we agreed
to promptly, upon request from time to time, reimburse Maxim for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements
of counsel and all travel and other out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by Maxim in connection with its engagement, subject to a $2,500
cap without our prior authorization.
**Maxim
Placement Agency Agreement**
****
In
connection with the transactions under the Securities Purchase Agreement with Ionic Ventures, LLC (Ionic), we entered into
a placement agency agreement (the Placement Agency Agreement) with Maxim. Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agency
Agreement, we were required pay Maxim a cash fee equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised under the Securities Purchase Agreement
and reimburse Maxim, directly upon the initial closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement for all travel and other documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by Maxim, including the reasonable fees, costs and disbursements of its legal counsel, in an amount not to exceed an
aggregate of $15,000. We paid Maxim a total of $120,000 out of the gross proceeds it received on March 29, 2024. Because we issued additional
securities to Ionic as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, we paid Maxim cash fees of $1,050,000.
**Maxim
Engagement Letter**
On
December 4, 2024, the Company entered into an engagement letter (the Maxim Engagement Letter) with Maxim Group LLC. (Maxim),
pursuant to which the Company engaged Maxim to serve as its exclusive financial advisor with respect to one or more potential business
combinations involving the Company for a period of seven months. Pursuant to the Maxim Engagement Letter, the Company agreed to pay Maxim
a non-refundable stock fee of 25,000 shares (the Retainer) which were issued upon execution of the engagement letter. The
shares were recorded to General and Administrative expenses as stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the shares of $95,000.
If
the Company consummates a Transaction with a Potential Buyer, then Maxim shall receive a fee (the Success Fee) of $500,000
upon the closing of the Transaction. In the event that the Company enters into an agreement with respect to a Transaction during the
term of this Agreement that is subsequently terminated, and the Company becomes entitled to a break-up, termination, topping, expense
reimbursement or similar fee or payment (including any judgment for damages or amount in settlement of any dispute as a result of such
termination, or any profit on any stock acquired from, or stock option granted by, any party to such transaction), a fee (the Break-up
Fee) equal 25% of all such amounts, payable promptly upon receipt of such amounts by the Company. In addition to the Retainer,
Success Fee and Break-up Fee payable pursuant to the Maxim Engagement Letter, and regardless of whether any Transaction is proposed or
consummated, the Company shall reimburse Maxim for all reasonable travel, food, lodging and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with the services performed by Maxim pursuant to Maxim Engagement Letter promptly after submission of such properly evidenced
expenses to the Company.
**Note
Receivable**
****
On
May 31, 2025, we received a promissory note with an affiliated entity, AIIA Sponsor Ltd. (Sponsor). Under the terms of
the note, we may advance up to $300,000to Sponsor to fund its organizational costs and expenses. The note was unsecured, non-interest-bearing,
and repayable on the earlier of (i) November 30, 2025 or (ii) the consummation of an initial public offering by AI Acquisition, and could
be prepaid at any time without penalty. As of September 30, 2025, we had advanced $236,790under the note. In October 2025, AIIA
Sponsor repaid in full all obligations owed to us under the promissory note.
**Sponsor

July 2025, we made a capital contribution of approximately $2.7 million to Sponsor, in exchange for 1,912,833 units comprising 1,912,833
ordinary shares and 130,001 preference shares. Our contribution represents a 49.9% interest in the Sponsor and was refundable in full
if the AIIA offering was not successfully completed by October 31, 2025. The offering closed on October 6, 2025. As described in this
Report, certain of our executive officers and directors also serve as officers and directors of Sponsor.

The
policy is administered by the Audit Committee. It provides for notification to the Corporate Secretary of the initiation or negotiation
of any potential transaction involving a Related Party followed by an assessment by the Chairman and/or the Chief Financial Officer of
materiality and potential for conflicts of interest and whether or not the transaction requires review by the audit committee under the
policy. The audit committee is then responsible for reviewing and considering whether the transaction is conducted on arms-length
terms and in accordance with fair market value; whether the transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders;
and any potential conflicts of interest that may arise from the transaction. The audit committee must approve the transaction prior to
its initiation unless not practicable, in which case the audit committee may retrospectively review and ratify the transaction. The audit
committee is also responsible for reviewing ongoing Related Party Transactions annually.

All
services provided by Hacker Johnson are permissible under applicable laws and regulations. The audit committee charter provides that
the audit committee is directly responsible, in its capacity as a committee of the Board, for the appointment, compensation, retention
and oversight of the work of the outside auditor. In this regard, the audit committee will appoint, retain, compensate, evaluate and
terminate, when appropriate, the outside auditor, who will report directly to the audit committee. The charter further provides that
the audit committee will approve, or as permitted by the Board, pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services (other than
de minimis non-audit services) to be provided by the outside auditor. The fees paid to Hacker Johnson shown in the table above were all
approved in accordance with the audit committee charter and include:
**
*Audit

companies, review of financial statements included in the Companys quarterly 10-Q filings, and services that are normally provided
in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
**
*Audit-Related
Fees* These are fees for assurance and related services performed by Hacker Johnson that are reasonably related to the
performance of the audit or review of the Companys financial statements. This includes: comfort letters and consents with
respect to securities offerings; due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions; audits and reviews associated with registration
statements related to mergers and acquisitions; other attestations by Hacker Johnson, including those that are required by statute,
regulation or contract; and consulting on financial accounting/reporting standards and controls.
*Tax
Fees* These are fees for professional services performed by Hacker Johnson with respect to tax compliance and tax returns.
This includes review of original and amended tax returns for the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries; refund claims, payment planning/tax

*Other
Fees* These are fees for other permissible work performed by Hacker Johnson that does not meet the above category descriptions.
The fees cover other engagements that are permissible under applicable laws and regulations including sustainability efforts.
These
services are actively monitored (both spending level and work content) by the Audit Committee to maintain the appropriate objectivity
and independence in Hacker Johnsons core work, which is the audit of the Companys consolidated financial statements. The
Audit Committee concluded that Hacker Johnsons provision of audit and non-audit services to the Company and its affiliates is
compatible with Hacker Johnsons independence.

**Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**
To
the Shareholders and the Board of Directors
Jet.AI
Inc.
Las
Vegas, Nevada:
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements*
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jet.AI Inc. (the Company), as of December 31, 2025 and 2024
and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then
ended and the related notes and consolidated financial statement schedules (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial
statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
*Going
Concern*
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated
deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters
are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
*Basis
for Opinion*
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Companys consolidated financial statements based on our audit. 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 audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 Companys 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

*Critical
Audit Matter*
The
critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that
was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material
to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication
of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we
are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts
or disclosures to which it relates.
*Fair
Value Measurement of Other Investments*
At
December 31, 2025, the Companys Other Investments reported in the consolidated balance sheets were $17.1 million. As described
in Note 4 - Other Investments to the consolidated financial statements Other Investments represents the Companys beneficial interests
in AI Infrastructure Acquisition Corp. (AIIA), a special purpose acquisition company, Class B shares as well as Class A
shares and rights.
Other
Investments are recorded at fair value. The fair value calculation of the Companys beneficial interest in AIIAs Class B
shares is dependent on company-specific adjustments applied to the observable trading prices of AIIA Class A shares. The Companys
management estimates that a specific discount of 30% sufficiently captures the risk or profit that a market participant would require
as compensation for i) the lack of marketability of the Companys beneficial interests in the AIIA and ii) assuming the inherent
risk of forfeiture and default if a business combination doesnt occur within AIIAs stipulated time frame.
The
Companys management has selected a discount of 30% due to the unobservable nature of this company-specific adjustment. The Company
classifies the Other Investments as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The methods used by management in determining the adjustment
to the Companys most recent fair value are complex and subjective based on the judgement that is required to determine the key
inputs and assumptions which can significantly impact the adjustments recognized.
The
principal considerations for our determination of the fair value measurement of other investments as a critical audit matter are the
subjectivity of the inputs and assumptions that management utilized in determining the adjustment to the Companys most recent
fair value of other investments. This required a high degree of effort and judgment in selecting the audit procedures to evaluate managements
estimates and assumptions as it relates to the valuation of other investments, including the use of an auditors specialist.
Addressing
the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated
financial statements. These procedures included among others obtaining an understanding of, and testing managements process for
evaluating fair value adjustments. Performing these procedures involved testing of the completeness and accuracy of the data utilized
by management and evaluated the reasonableness of managements assumptions used to develop an estimate of fair value. In addition,
we engaged a specialist to develop an independent estimate of fair value of other investments and comparison of managements estimate
to the independently developed estimate of fair value.

**JET.AI
INC.**
**NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
**NOTE
1 ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS**
****
Jet.AI
Inc. (the Company), directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries, has
principally been involved in (i) the sale of fractional
and whole interests in aircraft, (ii) the sale of jet cards, which enable holders to use certain aircraft at agreed-upon rates, (iii)
the operation of a proprietary booking platform (the App), which functions as a prospecting and quoting platform to arrange
private jet travel with third-party carriers as well as via the Companys leased and
managed aircraft, (iv) direct chartering of its HondaJet Elite aircraft by Cirrus
Aviation Services (Cirrus), (v) aircraft brokerage and (vi) service revenue from
the monthly management and hourly operation of customer aircraft. In 2025 the Company began transitioning its primary focus to
AI data center operations and assets.
**NOTE
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
****
Going
Concern and Management Plans*
The
Company has limited operating history and has incurred losses from operations until 2025. These matters raise concern about the Companys
ability to continue as a going concern.
During
the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations and obligations with capital from its operations, and proceeds from
sales of debt or equity securities. The Company could, if necessary, reduce cash burn to preserve capital. There are no assurances, however,
that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts
of additional capital, the Company may be required to reduce the near-term scope of its planned development and operations, which could
delay implementation of the Companys business plan and harm its business, financial condition and operating results. The consolidated
balance sheets do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.
**
*Basis
of Presentation*
**
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAP). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative
GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) and an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) of
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements
herein.
*Reverse
Stock Split*
**
On
November 12, 2024, the Company effected a reverse common stock split of the Companys issued and outstanding shares of common stock
at a ratio of 1-for-225. In addition, the aggregate number of equity-based awards that remain available to be granted under the Companys
equity compensation plans was decreased proportionately and proportionate adjustments were made to the per-share exercise price and the
number of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, as applicable, as well as to the number of shares that would
be owned upon vesting and settlement of restricted stock units and other equity-based awards, as applicable. Similar proportionate adjustments
were also made to the outstanding warrants. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split and any fractional
shares resulting from the reverse stock split were rounded down to the nearest number of whole shares so that the Company issued cash
in lieu of any fractional shares that such stockholder would have received as a result of the reverse stock split. In accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 260-10-55-12, the Company has adjusted the number of shares, per-share computations
and the computations of basic and diluted income (loss) per share (EPS) retroactively for all periods presented in the
consolidated financial statements and related notes.
| F-7 | |
*Principles
of Consolidation*
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jet.AI Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Summerlin Aviation
LLC, Jet Token Software Inc., Jet Token Management Inc., Galilee LLC, Jet.AI SpinCo, Inc., and Galilee 1 SPV LLC. All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
*Use
of Estimates*
The
preparation of the consolidated 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
statement and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant
judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that
existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in
the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes
in the short term relate to the Companys investment in AI Infrastructure Acquisition Corp. Accordingly, the actual results could
differ significantly from those estimates.
*Fair
Value of Financial Instruments*
Fair
value is defined by ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price)
in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the
measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes
the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data
obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Companys assumptions about the
factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure
fair value:
Level
1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level
2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level
3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The
fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when
measuring fair value.
*Risks
and Uncertainties*
The
Company has limited operating history and has incurred losses from operations since inception. The Companys business and operations
are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States (the U.S.) and worldwide along with local,
state, and federal governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond the Companys control could cause fluctuations in these
conditions. Adverse conditions may include but are not limited to: changes in the private airline industry, fuel and operating costs,
adverse macro-economic conditions, changes to corporate governance best practices for executive flying, general demand for private jet
travel, regulations on carbon emissions from aviation, competition and other barriers to entry in the data center industry and market
acceptance of the Companys business model. These adverse conditions could affect the Companys financial condition and the
consolidated results of its operations.
*Cash
and Cash Equivalents*
For
purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Included within cash and cash equivalents is restricted cash of $500,000 at
December 31, 2025 and 2024.
| F-8 | |
*Offering
Costs*
The
Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, with regards to offering costs. Prior to
the completion of an offering, offering costs will be capitalized as deferred offering costs on the consolidated balance sheet. The deferred
offering costs will be charged to stockholders equity upon the completion of an offering or to expenses if the offering is not
completed.
*Other
Current Assets*
Other
current assets include security deposits, which relate primarily to contractual prepayments to third-parties for future services, prepaid
expenses and customer receivables for additional expenses incurred in their charter trips.
*Property
and Equipment*
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized
and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise
disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results
of operations for the respective year. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line
method for financial statement purposes. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, property and equipment consisted entirely of equipment which
is being depreciated over a 3three-year period.
*Investments
in Joint Ventures*
In
January 2023, the Company formed a 50/50 joint venture subsidiary with Great Western Air LLC (dba Cirrus Aviation Services) called 380
Software LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Costs and profits are to be shared equally between the Company and Cirrus. The Company
accounts for these investments using the equity method whereby the initial investment is recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted by
the Companys share of income or loss from the joint venture. There is currently no financial activity or material assets to report
for this joint venture beyond this initial investment.
In
June 2025, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Consensus Core Technologies, Inc. (Consensus Core) to
collaborate in developing data centers. In connection therewith, the parties formed Convergence Compute LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company contributed a total of $765,000 to Convergence Compute and completed funding
the first milestone, acquiring a 0.5% equity interest for $300,000 and advanced $465,000 towards the second milestone. The Company may
contribute up to an aggregate $20 million to Convergence Compute in five milestone-based tranches, receiving an additional 0.5% equity
interest in Convergence Compute upon each milestone funding, for an aggregate equity interest of up to 2.5%. Consensus Core will contribute
100% of the equity interests of its Midwest and Maritime data center projects to Convergence Compute at the second and third closings,
respectively, with each party receiving a 17.5% equity interest in each project upon the applicable closing.
*Allowance
for Credit Losses*
**
The
Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit losses with respect to its accounts receivable. In addition, also at each reporting
date, this estimate is updated to reflect any changes in credit risk since the receivable was initially recorded. Accounts receivable
are evaluated individually for impairment. This estimate is adjusted for managements assessment of current conditions, reasonable
and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and any other factors deemed relevant by the Company. The Company believes historical
loss information is a reasonable starting point in which to calculate the expected allowance for credit losses. The Company writes off
receivables when there is information that indicates the debtor is facing significant financial difficulty and there is no possibility
of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts previously written off, they will be recognized in operations or an offset
to credit loss expense in the year of recovery, in accordance with the entitys accounting policy election. No allowance for credit
losses was considered necessary at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
| F-9 | |
*Leases*
The
Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception on an individual contract basis. Operating leases are included in operating
lease right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities, and non-current operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance
sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Operating lease right-of-use
assets are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term.
The interest rate implicit in each lease was readily determinable to discount lease payments.
The
operating lease right-of-use assets include any lease payments made, including any variable amounts that are based on an index or rate,
and exclude lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Renewal option periods are included within
the lease term and the associated payments are recognized in the measurement of the operating right-of-use asset when they are at the
Companys discretion and considered reasonably certain of being exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
The
Company has elected the practical expedient not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the Companys
consolidated balance sheets and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the short-term lease.
*Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets*
The
Company follows ASC 360-10, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC 360-10 requires that if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets or asset groups may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed
by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the assets carrying value to determine
if a write-down to market value would be required. Long-lived assets or asset groups that meet the criteria in ASC 360-10 as being held
for sale are reflected at the lower of their carrying amount or fair market value, less costs to sell.
*Revenue
Recognition*
In
applying the guidance of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following
steps:
| 
| 
| 
Identification
of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; | |
| 
| 
| 
Identification
of the performance obligations in the contract; | |
| 
| 
| 
Determination
of the transaction price; | |
| 
| 
| 
Allocation
of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and | |
| 
| 
| 
Recognition
of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied. | |
Revenue
is derived from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, (i) fractional/whole aircraft sales, (ii) fractional ownership and
jet card programs, (iii) ad hoc charter through the Companys CharterGPT app and (iv) aircraft management.
Under
the fractional ownership program, a customer purchases an ownership share in a jet which guarantees the customer access to the jet for
a preset number of hours per year. The fractional ownership program consists of a down payment,
one or more progress payments, a payment on delivery, a monthly management fee and an occupied hourly fee. Revenues from the sale
of fractional or whole interests in an aircraft are recognized at the time title to the aircraft is transferred to the purchasers, which
generally occurs upon delivery or ownership transfer.
The
jet card program provides the customer with a preset number of hours of guaranteed private jet access over the agreement term (generally
a year) without the larger hourly or capital commitment of purchasing an ownership share. The jet card program consists of a fixed hourly
rate for flight hours typically paid 100% up front.
Revenue
is recognized upon transfer of control of the Companys promised services, which generally occurs upon the flight hours being used.
Any unused hours for the fractional jet and jet card programs are forfeited at the end of the contract term and are thus immediately
recognized as revenue at that time.
| F-10 | |
Deferred
revenue is an obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has already received consideration. Upon receipt of
a prepayment from a customer for all or a portion of the transaction price, the Company initially recognizes a contract liability. The
contract liability is settled, and revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation to the customer at a future
date. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company deferred $258,765 and $1,091,235, respectively, related to prepaid flight hours under
the jet card program for which the related travel had not yet occurred.
The
Company also generates revenues from individual ad hoc charter bookings processed through the Companys CharterGPT app, whereby
the Company sources, negotiates, and arranges travel on a charter basis for a customer based on pre-selected options and pricing provided
by the Company to the customer through the CharterGPT app . In addition, Cirrus Aviation Services markets charters on the Companys
aircraft for the Companys benefit. Deferred revenue with respect to the CharterGPT app was $184,046 and $212,278 as of December
31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The
Company utilizes certificated independent third-party air carriers in the performance of a portion of flights. The Company evaluates
whether there is a promise to transfer services to the customer, as the principal, or to arrange for services to be provided by another
party, as the agent, using a control model. The nature of the flight services the Company provides to members is similar regardless of
which third-party air carrier is involved. The Company directs third-party air carriers to provide an aircraft to a member or customer.
Based on evaluation of the control model, it was determined that the Company acts as the principal rather than the agent within all revenue
arrangements. Owner charter revenue is recognized for flights where the owner of a managed aircraft sets the price for the trip. The
Company records owner charter revenue at the time of flight on a net basis for the margin we receive to operate the aircraft. If the
Company has primary responsibility to fulfill the obligation, then the revenue and the associated costs are reported on a gross basis
in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred revenue with respect to the management of aircraft was $315 and $0 as of December
31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The
following is a breakout of revenue components by subcategory for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

*Flights*
Flights
and flight-related services, along with the related costs of the flights, are earned and recognized as revenue at the point in time in
which the service is provided. For round-trip flights, revenue is recognized upon arrival at the destination for each flight segment.
Fractional
and jet card members pay a fixed quoted amount for flights based on a contractual capped hourly rate. Ad hoc charter customers primarily
pay a fixed rate for flights. In addition, flight costs are paid by members through the purchase of dollar-denominated prepaid blocks
of flight hours (Prepaid Blocks), and other incidental costs such as catering and ground transportation are billed monthly
as incurred. Prepaid Blocks are deferred and recognized as revenue when the member completes a flight segment.
*Aircraft
Management*
The
Company manages aircraft for owners in exchange for a contractual fee. Revenue associated with the management of aircraft also includes
the recovery of owner-incurred expenses including maintenance coordination, cabin crew and pilots, as well as recharging of certain incurred
aircraft operating costs and expenses such as maintenance, fuel, landing fees, parking and other related operating costs. The Company
passes the recovery and recharge costs back to owners at either cost or a predetermined margin.
| F-11 | |
Aircraft
management-related revenue contains two types of performance obligations. One performance obligation is to provide management services
over the contract period. Revenue earned from management services is recognized over the contractual term, on a monthly basis. The second
performance obligation is the cost to operate and maintain the aircraft, which is recognized as revenue at the point in time such services
are completed.
*Aircraft
Sales*
The
Company from time to time acquires aircraft from vendors and various other third-party sellers in the private aviation industry. The
Companys classifies the purchase as aircraft inventory on the consolidated balance sheets. Aircraft inventory is valued at the
lower of cost or net realizable value. Sales are recorded on a gross basis within revenues and cost of revenue in the consolidated statements
of operations. The Company recorded no aircraft sales for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
*Pass-Through
Costs*
In
applying the guidance of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an
amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. 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(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction
price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the
entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company
will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception,
once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract
and determines those that are distinct performance obligations. The Company then assesses whether it is acting as an agent or a principal
for each identified performance obligation and includes revenue within the transaction price for third-party costs when the Company determines
that it is acting as the principal.
*Cost
of Revenues*
The
cost of revenues expenses includes costs incurred in providing air transportation services, such as chartering third-party aircraft,
aircraft lease expenses, pilot training and wages, aircraft fuel, aircraft maintenance, and other aircraft operating expenses, each of
which is discussed below.
| 
| 
1. | 
Chartering
Third-Party Aircraft: The cost of chartering third-party aircraft is recorded as a part of the cost of revenues expense. These expenses
include the fees paid to third-party operators for providing aircraft services on behalf of the Company. Expenses are recognized
in the consolidated statements of operations in the period when the service is rendered and are reported on an accrual basis. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
2. | 
Aircraft
Lease Expenses: Aircraft lease expenses include the cost of leasing aircraft for the Companys operations. The lease expenses
are recognized as an operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the lease term on a straight-line basis. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
3. | 
Pilot
Training and Wages: Pilot training costs are expensed as incurred and are included in the cost of revenues expenses. This encompasses
expenses related to initial pilot training, recurrent training, and any additional required training programs. Pilot wages, including
salaries, bonuses, and benefits, are also recognized as a part of the cost of revenues expenses and are reported on an accrual basis. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
4. | 
Aircraft
Fuel: The cost of aircraft fuel is recognized as an expense in the cost of revenues category based on the actual consumption during
flight operations. Fuel costs are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the period when the fuel is consumed and
are reported on an accrual basis. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
5. | 
Aircraft
Maintenance: Aircraft maintenance expenses include both routine and non-routine maintenance. Routine maintenance costs are expensed
as incurred and are recorded as a part of the cost of revenues expense. Non-routine maintenance expenses, such as major repairs and
overhauls, are capitalized and amortized over their expected useful life. The amortization expense is included in the cost of revenues
expense and is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the assets useful life. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
6. | 
Other
Aircraft Operating Expenses: Other aircraft operating expenses include costs such as insurance, landing fees, navigation charges,
and catering services. These expenses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as a part of the cost of revenues
expenses in the period when they are incurred and are reported on an accrual basis. | |
| F-12 | |
*Advertising
Costs*
The
Company expenses the cost of advertising and promoting the Companys services as incurred. Such amounts are included in sales and
marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $779,004 and $687,785 for the years ended December 31, 2025
and 2024, respectively.
*Research
and Development*
The
Company incurs research and development costs during the process of researching and developing its technologies and future offerings.
The Companys research and development costs consist primarily of payments for third-party software development that is not capitalizable.
The Company expenses these costs as incurred until the resulting product has been completed, tested, and made ready for commercial use.
*Stock-Based
Compensation*
The
Company accounts for stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost
is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employees
requisite vesting period or over the nonemployees period of providing goods or services. The fair value of each stock option or
warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
*Income
Taxes*
The
Company applies ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts at each period end, based on enacted tax laws
and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances
are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes
represents the tax expense for the period, if any and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
ASC
740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from
an uncertain position is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable upon examination
by the relevant taxing authority based on its technical merit.
The
Company is subject to tax in the United States and files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and Nevada state jurisdiction.
The Company is subject to U.S. Federal, state, and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for all periods since inception.
The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority.
**
**
| F-13 | |
**
*Income
(Loss) per Common Share*
**
The
Company presents basic EPS and diluted EPS on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing
net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS
is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of diluted common shares outstanding.
The computation of the diluted net income per share of common stock assumes the conversion of the Companys Series B Convertible
Preferred stock to 10,740,129 shares of common stock. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive common shares is reflected in diluted
earnings per share by application of the if-converted method for the Series B Convertible Preferred stock, and by application of the
treasury stock method for the Companys other potentially dilutive securities. For periods in which the Company incurs a net loss,
the effects of potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive and would be excluded from the diluted EPS calculations. For the
year ended December 31, 2025, there were 22,668 options and 9,686 warrants to purchase common stock, respectively, excluded. For the
year ended December 31, 2024, there were 22,668 options, 9,686 warrants to purchase common stock, and 346,960 common shares issuable
upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, excluded.
*Concentration
of Credit Risk*
The
Company maintains its cash with several major U.S. financial institutions which it believes to be creditworthy. Balances are insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, however the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally
insured limits.
*Segment
Reporting*
The
Company identifies operating segments as components of the Company for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly
reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance
assessment. The chief operating decision maker is the Interim Chief Executive Officer. The Company determined that as of and through
December 31, 2025 the Company operates in a single operating and reportable segment, private aviation services, as the chief operating
decision maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue,
for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance. All of the Companys long-lived assets
are located in the U.S. and revenue from private aviation services is substantially earned from flights throughout the U.S.
*Recent
Accounting Pronouncements*
**
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure to
disaggregate prescribed expenses within relevant statement of operations captions. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact
of the changes to its existing disclosures.
In
July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for
Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The ASU provides an optional practical expedient for estimating future credit losses based on
current conditions as of the balance sheet date and assuming those conditions do not change over the remaining life of the accounts receivable.
This standard is effective January 1, 2026. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the consolidated results
of operations and financial condition.
In
September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted
Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU removes references to prescriptive software development stages and
includes an updated framework for capitalizing internal software costs. This standard is effective January 1, 2028. The Company is currently
evaluating this ASUs impact on the consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

**NOTE
4 OTHER INVESTMENTS**
*Investment
in AI Infrastructure Acquisition Corp.*
****
In
July 2025, the Company made a capital contribution of approximately $2.7 million to AIIA Sponsor Ltd. (Sponsor), which
serves as the sponsor of AI Infrastructure Acquisition, Corp. (AIIA), in exchange for 1,912,833 units comprising 1,912,833
ordinary shares and 130,001 preference shares. AIIA is a special purpose acquisition company that after completing its initial public
offering intends to focus on opportunities with companies and/or strategic assets in high-impact private technology companies advancing
artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, as well as those involved in building, operating, or enabling next-generation
data center infrastructure. Sponsor was founded and organized by certain of the Companys executive officers and directors, who
also serve as officers or directors of AIIA, with capital commitments from Sponsors founders and the Company. The Companys
contribution represents a 49.9% interest in the Sponsor.
On
October 6, 2025, AIIA announced the closing of an initial public offering (IPO). In the IPO, AIIA sold an aggregate of13,800,000Units
at a price of $10.00per unit, resulting in total gross proceeds of $138,000,000. Each Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share
and one right, with each right entitling the holder thereof to receive one-fifth (1/5) of a Class A ordinary share of AIIA upon consummation
of an initial business combination.
In
connection with AIIAs IPO, Sponsor purchased from AIIA, simultaneous with the closing of the IPO, an aggregate of269,000Units
at a price of $10.00per unit ($2,690,000in the aggregate) in a private placement (the Private Placement Units).
Each Private Placement Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share and one right, with each right entitling the holder thereof to receive
one-fifth (1/5) of a Class A ordinary share of AIIA upon consummation of an initial business combination.
At
the close of the offering, Sponsor held4,600,000shares of the Class B ordinary shares of AIIA, representing25% of the
outstanding shares of AIIA (the Class B Shares). In addition, the Sponsor held269,000units comprising of269,000Class
A ordinary shares and269,000rights.
In
connection with the organization of Sponsor, Jet.AI owns approximately49.9% of the ordinary shares and preferred shares, respectively,
of the Sponsor (the Sponsor Equity Interest). The Companys executive officers will be AIIAs management team.
The preferred shares of Sponsor are nonvoting shares and generally entitle the holders thereof to receive the net proceeds, if any, received

B Shares and269,000 Class A shares of AIIA held by Sponsor.
****
The
Companys beneficial interest in AIIAs Class A and Class B shares are recorded at fair value and are classified in Other
Investments on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value calculation of the investment in Sponsor is dependent on company-
specific adjustments applied to the observable trading prices of AIIA Class A shares. The Companys management estimates that a
specific discount range of 20% to 40% sufficiently captures the risk or profit that a market participant would require as compensation
for assuming the inherent risk of forfeiture if a business combination doesnt occur and the lack of marketability of the Companys
beneficial interests in the Sponsor. The Company has selected a discount of 30% based on fair value measurements by an independent valuation
expert, and due to the unobservable nature of this company-specific adjustment, the Company classifies the Other Investment as Level
3 in the fair value hierarchy. Subsequent changes in fair value will be recorded in the consolidated statement of operations during the
period of the change.

in Sponsor as of December 31, 2025, we recognized an unrealized gain on investment of approximately $14.5 millionwithin our consolidated
statements of operations.

The
Company utilizes the services of an independent valuation expert (Valuation Expert) to determine the fair value of the
Companys indirect investment in AIIA. The Valuation Expert observed that the Class A shares of AIIA trades in a relatively liquid
market at the measurement date, and the Companys share of AIIAs Class B shares were convertible to OXACs Class A
Shares on a1 to 1 basis. The Valuation Expert applied this ratio to the value of AIIAs Class A shares and then applied an
additional30% discount to account for the lack of marketability and the inherent risk of forfeiture should a business combination
not occur.
There
were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the year ended December 31, 2025.

*Operating
Lease*
In
November 2021, the Company entered into a leasing arrangement with a third party for an aircraft to be used in the Companys operations.
The lease term is for 60 months, expiring November 2026, and requires monthly lease payments. At any time during the lease term, the
Company has the option to purchase the aircraft from the lessor at the aircrafts fair market value at that time.
The
lease agreement also requires the Company to hold a liquidity reserve of $500,000 in a separate bank account as well as a maintenance
reserve of approximately $690,000 for the duration of the lease term. The liquidity reserve is held in a bank account owned by the Company.
As such, this is classified as restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The maintenance reserve are funds held
by the lessor to be used for reasonable maintenance expenses in excess of those covered by the airframe and engine maintenance programs
maintained by the Company. These maintenance programs are designed to fully cover the Companys aircrafts maintenance costs,
both scheduled and unscheduled, and therefore the Company does not expect these funds will be drawn upon. If funds from the maintenance
reserve are expended by the lessor, the Company is required to replenish the maintenance reserve account up to the required reserve amount.
Any funds remaining at the end of the Lease term will be returned to the Company. The maintenance reserve is included within deposits
and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Total
lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $1,301,400 and $1,357,520, respectively, which is included within cost
of revenues in the accompanying statements of operations.

*GEM
Share Purchase Agreement*
The
Company executed a Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2022, with GEM Yield LLC SCS and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (together
with GEM Yield LLC SCS, GEM). The Company has the right to periodically issue and sell to GEM, and GEM has agreed to purchase,
up to $40,000,000 aggregate value of shares of the Companys common stock during the 36-month period following the date of listing
on Nasdaq.
No
shares of common stock were sold pursuant to this agreement during the year ended December 31, 2025.
During
the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 58,447 shares of common stock pursuant to the agreement for total consideration
of approximately $2.5 million.
The
Company previously agreed to pay GEM a commitment fee equal to $800,000 payable in cash or freely tradable shares of the Companys
common stock, payable on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of listing and which fee was satisfied in October 2024 through
the issuance of 36,886 shares of common stock.
Pursuant
to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to GEM a warrant (the GEM Warrant) granting it the right to purchase
up to 9,686 shares of common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis. The GEM Warrant was issued with an exercise price of $1,935
and a term of three years. The GEM Warrant included an adjustment mechanism, whereby the exercise price is subject to adjustment from
time to time. Pursuant to the GEM Warrant, on the first anniversary following the Public Listing Date as defined in the GEM Warrant (the
Adjustment Date), if all or any portion of the GEM Warrant remained unexercised and the average closing price of the Companys
common stock for the 10 trading days following the Adjustment Date was less than 90% of the then-current exercise price of the warrant
(the Baseline Price), then the exercise price of the unexercised Warrant Shares that remained exercisable pursuant to the
GEM Warrant would be adjusted to 110% of the Baseline Price. Accordingly, the GEM Warrant exercise price was reduced to $5.51 per share
as of December 31, 2025.
| F-18 | |
On
August 4, 2022, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with GEM, obligating the Company to file a registration statement
with respect to resales of the shares of common stock issuable to GEM under the Share Purchase Agreement and upon exercise of the GEM
Warrant. Because that registration statement was not declared effective by October 23, 2023 (the Effectiveness Deadline),
the Company was obligated to pay GEM an amount equal to $10,000 for each day following the Effectiveness Deadline until the registration
statement was declared effective subject to a $300,000 cap if such delay in the declaration of effectiveness of the registration statement
was caused by delays in SEC review of the registration statement or the SECs refusal to declare the registration statement effective.
The Company has accrued $300,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 with respect to this agreement.
On
October 23, 2023, the Company entered into a warrant amendment agreement retroactively effective as of August 10, 2023 (the GEM
Warrant Amendment). The GEM Warrant Amendment provides that GEM can elect to limit the exercisability of the GEM Warrant
to purchase shares of the Companys common stock, such that it is not exercisable to the extent that, after giving effect to the
exercise, GEM and its affiliates, to the Companys actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Companys
common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. On October 23, 2023, GEM provided a notice to the Company
electing to have this limit apply to the GEM Warrant effective as of August 10, 2023. GEM may revoke this election notice by providing
written notice to the Company of such revocation, which revocation would not be effective until 61 days after such notice is delivered
to the Company.

*Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock Securities Purchase Agreement*
On
March 28, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement) with Ionic
Ventures, LLC (Ionic) for a private placement, which closed on March 29, 2024. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement
the Company sold 150 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, a warrant to purchase up to 1,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with an
exercise price of $10,000 per share (the Ionic Warrant), and 1,111 shares of Company common stock for net proceeds of $1,345,025
after deducting offering costs of $155,000.
| F-21 | |
Each
share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into a number of shares of Jet.AI Common Stock, subject to certain limitations, including
a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% (calculated in accordance with the rules promulgated under Section13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934), which can be adjusted to a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% upon 61days prior written notice by
Iconic.
Subject
to certain limitations, and provided there is an effective registration statement covering Ionics resale of the common stock underlying
the Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Series B Preferred Stock automatically convert into shares of Jet.AI Common Stock on or prior
to the tenth trading day after the issuance date of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable
upon conversion of a share of Series B Preferred Stock is calculated by dividing the conversion amount per share of Series B Preferred
Stock by the then conversion price. The conversion amount is equal to the stated value of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which
is $10,000, plus any additional amounts and late charges calculated in accordance with the Certificate of Designations. The conversion
price is equal to 90% (or, in the case of a delisting, 80%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of Common Stock over a
period beginning on the trading day after the Company delivers shares of common stock upon such conversion to Ionic and ending on the
trading day on which the aggregate dollar trading volume of our common stock exceeds seven times the applicable conversion amount, subject
to a five trading day minimum period for such calculation, and subject to certain adjustments.
If
certain defined triggering events defined in the Certificate of Designations occur, such as a breach of the Ionic Registration
Rights Agreement, suspension of trading, or the Companys failure to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into common stock when
a conversion right is exercised, then the Company may be required to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock for cash at 110% of the stated
value.
In

Placement Agency Agreement) with Maxim and agreed to pay Maxim a cash fee equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised
under the Securities Purchase Agreement and reimburse Maxim, directly upon the initial closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement
for expenses incurred by Maxim, in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $15,000. The Company paid Maxim a total of $120,000 out of
the gross proceeds it received at closing. From time to time as the Company issues additional securities to Ionic as contemplated by

Letter Agreement, agreed to refrain from taking action to protect its legal rights under the Securities Purchase Agreement, and the related
documents and agreements among the parties, related to (i) a transaction that may be effected utilizing the registration statement on
Form S-3 (File No. 333-281578) as generally identified in the Fourth Letter Agreement and (ii) a potential underwritten public offering
not to exceed $10 million. In consideration for the consent of Ionic and Hexstone, the Company agreed, among other things, to change
the conversion price of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as set forth in that certain Certificate of Designation for the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock by filing an amendment to the Certificate such that shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock could
convert at a lower price.
As
amended to date, the Certificate of Designations for the Series B Convertible Stock provides that shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock are convertible at a price equal to the lower of (A) $1.63, or (B) 90% (or, if the Companys common stock is suspended from
trading on or delisted from its principal trading market at any time after the initial issuance date (whether or not subsequently cured),
80%) of the lowest daily VWAP of the Companys common stock during the period beginning on the trading day immediately after the
day on which the applicable Holder receives the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the their preferred shares (Conversion
Shares) and ending on the trading day on which the aggregate dollar volume of the Companys common stock on its principal
trading market exceeds the product of the Conversion Amount set forth on the applicable conversion notice multiplied by seven (7), subject
to a five (5) trading day minimum (such period, the Conversion Measuring Period); provided, however, that each day on which
(i) the Companys common stock has been suspended for trading on all Eligible Markets (as defined), (ii) Conversion Shares cannot
be sold by the Holder because of a defined violation by the Company, or (iii) Conversion Shares are not delivered after the share delivery
deadline, are excluded from the Conversion Measuring Period.
Except
as described above, the rights and preferences of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which have been described in various reports
previously filed by the Company with the SEC, did not change.
In
November and December 2024, the Company issued 400 shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon a partial exercise of the Ionic Warrant for
gross proceeds of $4,000,000 before deducting offering costs of $280,000.
During

*flyExclusive
Transaction*
On
February 13, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the Merger Agreement) with
flyExclusive, Inc. (flyExclusive), FlyX Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of flyExclusive
(Merger Sub), and Jet.AI SpinCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (SpinCo).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) as a condition to closing on the Merger Agreement, the Company will distribute all of the shares
of SpinCo, on a pro rata basis, to the Companys stockholders and (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into SpinCo (the Merger
and, together with the Distribution and all other transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement, the Transactions)
with SpinCo surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of flyExclusive.
| F-23 | |
In
connection with executing the Merger Agreement, the Company, SpinCo, and flyExclusive entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement
(the Separation and Distribution Agreement) pursuant to which the Company will transfer the business, operations, services
and activities of the Companys jet charter business to SpinCo. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Separation
and Distribution Agreement, the Company will distribute all of the shares of common stock of SpinCo (SpinCo Common Stock)
to the Companys stockholders on a pro rata basis as set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement (the Distribution).
As such, the Company will no longer operate a jet charter business as of consummation of the Distribution. There will be no change to
the Companys board of directors or executive officers as a result of the Transactions.
Upon
closing of the Merger, the holders of SpinCo Common Stock will have their SpinCo Common Stock converted on a pro rata basis into the
right to receive shares of Class A common stock of flyExclusive (flyExclusive Common Stock), based on an exchange ratio
equal to the quotient of (i) the Initial Purchase Price divided by the volume weighted average closing sale price of the
flyExclusive Common Stock as reported on NYSE American for a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day three trading
days prior to the day of closing of the Merger (the Merger Consideration Shares), divided by (ii) the total outstanding
shares of SpinCo Common Stock. The Initial Purchase Price is an amount equal to the product of SpinCos estimated
net cash, multiplied by certain premium percentages depending on SpinCos estimated net cash upon closing of the Merger. The number
of Merger Consideration Shares that holders of SpinCo Common Stock will receive is subject to adjustment, depending on, among other things,
the actual amount of SpinCos net cash at closing of the Merger. The Companys stockholders will continue to own and hold
their existing shares of the Companys common stock as of closing of the Merger.
On
May 6, 2025, the parties entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the Amended Merger
Agreement), which amends, restates, replaces, and supersedes the original Merger Agreement. Under the Amended Merger Agreement,
80% of the Merger Consideration Shares will be issued upon the closing, and 20% of the Merger Consideration Shares will be held in reserve
by flyExclusive until a final post-closing purchase price is determined. Once the final post-closing purchase price is determined, flyExclusive
will only issue additional Merger Consideration Shares from the reserve on a dollar for dollar basis up to the lesser of the final purchase
price and the initial purchase price.
The
Transactions are subject to shareholder approval and are expected to close during the first or second quarter of 2026.

*Stock
Options*
The

Incentive Plan. In December 2025, the 2023 Plan was amended to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized under the 2023
Plan to 775,000 shares (plusan amount of shares that will account for all shares issuable in connection with the vesting
of certain performance share unit awards that we granted to our executive management team. As

The
Company estimates the fair value of stock options that contain service and/or performance conditions using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. The range of input assumptions used by the Company were as follows:
SCHEDULE

| 
| | 
December 31, | | |
| 
| | 
2024 | | |
| 
Expected life (years) | |

| 90 | % | |
| 
Annual dividend yield | | 
| 0 | % | |
| 
Per share grant date fair value | | 
$ | 18.19 | | |
The
Company recognizes stock option forfeitures as they occur as there is insufficient historical data to accurately determine future forfeitures
rates.
The
risk-free interest rate assumption for options granted is based upon observed interest rates on the United States government securities
appropriate for the expected term of the Companys stock options.
The
expected term of stock options is calculated using the simplified method which takes into consideration the contractual life and vesting
terms of the options.
The
Company determined the expected volatility assumption for options granted using the historical volatility of comparable public companys
common stock. The Company will continue to monitor peer companies and other relevant factors used to measure expected volatility for
future stock option grants, until such time that the Companys common stock has enough market history to use historical volatility.
The
dividend yield assumption for options granted is based on the Companys history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company
has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock, and the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future.
During
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, stock-based compensation expense of $1,626,102 and $4,287,236, respectively, was recognized
for the vesting of these options and restricted stock units. As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $192,000 in unrecognized
stock-based compensation, which will be recognized through September 2027.
| F-26 | |
*Performance
Share Units*
In
2024, the Board of Directors granted 10 performance share units (PSU) to each of the Companys 7 employees. Each
PSU represents the right to receive shares of the Companys common stock upon vesting, which occurs incrementally upon the achievement
of 10 defined market capitalization thresholds of $5 million increments. The first PSU vests upon the Company achieving and sustaining
$5 million in market capitalization measured as outstanding shares of common stock multiplied by the value weighted average price
for sixty consecutive days. The first PSU performance hurdle was met in May 2025; however, issuance of the underlying shares
required shareholder approval to expand the authorized share pool under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Company obtained that approval
in late December 2025 through an amendment to the 2023 Plan and issued an aggregate of 24,754 shares of common stock to the PSU holders
in February 2026. The Companys expense in connection with the PSUs was approximately $29,000.

Deferred

The significant components of the Companys deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December31, 2025 and 2024 are comprised
of the following:

| 
Net deferred tax asset | | 
$ | - | | | 
$ | - | | |
The
Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize its deferred tax assets, which are comprised
primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. Management considered the impact of unrealized gains recognized during the year related
to investments measured at fair value, which give rise to deferred tax liabilities associated with temporary differences. Because these
gains are non cash in nature, dependent on future liquidity events, and not indicative of recurring taxable income, management concluded
that such gains do not outweigh significant negative evidence. Management has considered the Companys history of cumulative net
losses in the United States, estimated future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and has concluded that
it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. Accordingly,
a full valuation allowance has been established against these net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period. During the period ended December 31, 2025, the Companys
valuation allowance increased during the period by approximately $1,776,000, primarily due to the generation of a net operating loss
of approximately $8,458,000. The Company paid no federal or state income taxes during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
| F-28 | |
The
Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that it is more likely than not that the
position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. Management evaluated uncertain tax positions as of December
31, 2025 and 2024 and concluded that no reserves for unrecognized tax benefits were required. The Company does not expect its unrecognized
tax benefits to change significantly within the next twelve months.
At
December 31, 2025, the Company had federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $28,900,000. The federal operating losses
since inception have no expiration.
Utilization
of the U.S. federal and state net operating loss may be subject to a substantial annual limitation under Section382 and Section383
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and corresponding provisions of state law, due to ownership changes that have occurred
previously or that could occur in the future. These ownership changes may limit the amount of net operating loss that can be utilized
annually to offset future taxable income and tax liabilities, respectively. The Company has not completed a study to assess whether a
change of ownership has occurred, or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since its formation. Any limitation may result
in expiration of a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards or research and development tax credit carryforwards before utilization.
****
The
Company is subject to tax in the United States (U.S.) and files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and
several states and local jurisdictions where the Company has determined it has tax nexus.The Company is subject to U.S. Federal,
state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years 2021 and forward.The Company currently is not under examination
