Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business
reAlpha Tech Corp. and Subsidiaries (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” “reAlpha” or the “Registrant”) were initially incorporated with the name reAlpha Asset Management, Inc. in the State of Delaware on April 22, 2021. Initially, our asset-heavy operational model centered on using proprietary AI tools for real estate acquisition, converting properties into short-term rentals, and offering fractional interests to investors. However, due to macroeconomic challenges like higher interest rates and inflated property prices, we’ve discontinued our rental segment operations. We are now focused on developing an end-to-end commission-free homebuying platform. Utilizing the power of AI and an acquisition-led growth strategy, reAlpha’s goal is to offer a more affordable, streamlined experience for those on the journey to homeownership.
reAlpha has transitioned into a technology-driven, integrated services company, leveraging AI to enhance the homebuying experience and streamline real estate transactions. At the core of its strategy is the reAlpha platform, an AI-powered solution designed to simplify the home purchase process while generating revenue through mortgage brokerage and title and escrow services.
To strengthen its AI capabilities, reAlpha has acquired Naamche and AiChat (each as defined below), expanding its software development expertise and AI-driven engagement tools. Naamche enhances reAlpha platform functionality, while AiChat improves customer interaction of their clients through AI-powered automation.
reAlpha operates through its key subsidiaries, including reAlpha Realty, AiChat, Be My Neighbor, Hyperfast, each playing a role in its vertically integrated ecosystem. These subsidiaries enable reAlpha to provide real estate brokerage, and closing services, which enables us to capture value across multiple stages of the transaction process.
With its focus on AI technology and integrated real estate services, reAlpha is creating a scalable, end-to-end, tech-enabled model for customers to buy a home. Through strategic acquisitions and innovations in its platform, reAlpha is expanding its market presence and diversifying revenue streams across real estate, mortgage services, and AI-powered solutions.
The Company’s head office is located at 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 100, Dublin, OH 43017.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. These financial statements include all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring accruals, deemed necessary by management for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the reported period.
This note on significant accounting policies is provided to aid in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements. The policies adhere to U.S. GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of both the annual and interim financial statements. The financial statements reflect the operations, assets, and liabilities of the Company as a whole.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for that date. It is essential that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s previous Annual Report on Form 10-KT for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the fiscal year are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash was held by financial institutions that management believes have acceptable credit. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures balances up to $250,000. At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured. The risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated by regular credit evaluations that the Company performs on its distribution partners and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Investments - Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, (“ASC 326”) the Company applies the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) model to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Company has determined that accounts receivable (“AR”) is the only financial asset subject to CECL assessment, as it does not have any loan receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, or other financial instruments requiring CECL evaluation.
The Company’s CECL methodology incorporates historical loss experience, current economic conditions, and forward-looking adjustments to assess credit risk and expected loss reserves.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has experienced no historical credit losses on accounts receivable. A significant portion of the Company’s accounts receivable is attributable to AiChat, its Singapore subsidiary, as its customers are large multinational corporations with strong financial stability and a consistent payment history. However, given macroeconomic risks, including interest rate fluctuations and regulatory considerations, the Company has applied a 0.05% CECL reserve to accounts receivable related to AiChat, our Singapore subsidiary. No additional forward-looking CECL reserve was deemed necessary due to continued government financial support, stable corporate tax incentives, and the strong creditworthiness of customers.
The Company will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and reassess the adequacy of its CECL reserve on a quarterly basis. Future adjustments may be made as economic conditions evolve and additional credit risk factors are identified.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s assessment under ASC 326 confirms that its accounts receivable remains recoverable, with no material impairments beyond the CECL provision recorded.
| Accounts receivable | |
|---|---|
| Opening Balance, January 1, 2024 · $ · - | |
| Current-period provision for expected credit losses(1) | 62 |
| Release of allowance for expected credit losses | - |
| Ending Balance, December 31, 2024 | $62 |
| (1) | Of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance of $182,425, $123,704 relates to third-party receivables held by AiChat, the Company’s Singapore-based subsidiary. A 0.05% reserve was applied to this amount in accordance with the CECL model under ASC 326. |
Equity Method Investment
The Company accounts for investments in entities in which the Company has significant influence over the entity’s financial and operating policies, but does not control, using the equity method of accounting. The equity method investment is initially recorded at cost, and subsequently increased for capital contributions and allocations of net income, and decreased for capital distributions and allocations of net loss. Equity in net income (loss) from the equity method investment is allocated based on the Company’s economic interest. The equity method investment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If it is determined that a loss in value of the equity method investment is other than temporary, an impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of an investment over its estimated fair value.
We recorded the Xmore AI investment of $125,000 under the equity method as per ASC 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323”).
Capitalized Software Development Costs
The Company adheres to ASC 350-40 for the capitalization of software development costs. Under these standards, costs incurred during the application development stage—including coding, testing, and the development of software functionalities—are eligible for capitalization if they relate to significant improvements that substantially enhance the software’s functionality or extend its service capacity. These costs include direct labor, third-party services, and other expenses directly attributable to the software’s development. Conversely, expenditures for minor enhancements and routine software maintenance are expensed as incurred, consistent with specific US GAAP requirements.
Amortization of capitalized software development costs begins when the software is ready for its intended use and placed in service. These costs are amortized over the software’s estimated useful life, which is assessed by considering factors such as the expected future benefits to the Company and the rate of technological change.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually, as of December 31, or more frequently when events occur and circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Accounting requirements provide that a reporting entity may perform an optional qualitative assessment on an annual basis to determine whether events occurred or circumstances changed that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. If an initial qualitative assessment identifies that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, or the optional qualitative assessment is not performed, a quantitative analysis is performed. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing it to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill recorded on the reporting unit.
As of December 31, 2024, on our annual goodwill testing date, we conducted a quantitative impairment test for our reporting unit, Rhove. This evaluation was necessitated by operational challenges that led to prompting a re-evaluation of the fair value of the reporting units compared to their carrying amounts.
The results of this impairment test indicated that the fair value of Rhove was less than its carrying amount, necessitating an impairment charge. This impairment reflects adjustments to the carrying values on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, and has been recognized in our financial results for the fiscal year to accurately reflect the reduced value of the reporting unit. These financial statements include all necessary adjustments, consisting of the noted impairment loss, to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the company.
Definite-lived Intangible Assets
ASC 350 on Intangibles – Goodwill and Other; Intangible assets are definite-lived intangible assets such as technology, customer contracts and trademarks resulted from business acquisitions. The valuation and classification of these intangible assets and determination of useful lives involves judgments and significant estimates. These Identifiable intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of entities accounted for using the purchase method of accounting are amortized over their estimated useful lives in a manner that best reflects the economic benefits of the intangible asset using the straight-line method and estimated useful lives. We periodically review the estimated useful lives of our definite-lived intangible assets and identify events or changes in circumstances that may indicate revised estimated useful lives.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 when control of services is transferred to the customer. On a standalone basis, reAlpha generates revenue by providing monthly support services to Turnit related to the myAlphie platform. Revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed and the customer benefits from them. reAlpha recognized rental revenue upon customer control of the asset and recorded deferred revenue for book sales until the delivery obligation was met, both in accordance with ASC 606.
AiChat, which provides an AI conversational platform, adheres to the revenue recognition standards outlined in ASC 606. The license fee for platform access and consulting services are recognized as distinct performance obligations, reflecting their ability to provide value independently within our customer contracts. For the “right to access” license fee, revenue is recognized over the duration of the subscription period, as control and benefits are provided continuously to the customer. Consulting services are recognized based on the nature of the engagement. Revenue for one-time services, such as project setups, is recognized at the point in time of delivery. For ongoing consulting services, revenue is recognized over time, reflecting the continuous benefit transferred to the customer throughout the service period. This approach ensures that revenue recognition accurately matches the ongoing provision of access and the timing of consulting services, as per the guidelines of ASC 606.
Be My Neighbor, a mortgage brokerage company, complies with ASC 606 by recognizing revenue at the point of loan closing. This moment marks the transfer of control of the loan to the borrower, capturing the completion of Be My Neighbor’s primary service—successfully securing a loan. All services, including loan origination, application processing, and credit assessment, contribute to this culminating event. Revenue is therefore recognized only when the loan closes, ensuring that the exact revenue amount is determinable based on the loan amount and agreed commission, accurately reflecting the completion of all related performance obligations.
Naamche, a company that provides services related to the development of technology, adheres to ASC 606 for revenue recognition, primarily from its service-based contracts. This approach involves detailed identification of contracts with customers, determination of distinct performance obligations within these contracts, and accurate allocation of transaction prices to these obligations. Revenue is recognized as Naamche satisfies each performance obligation, typically over time, reflecting the ongoing delivery and customer consumption of its tech-driven services.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740,* *Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected tax consequences of our future financial and operating activities. Under ASC 740, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the temporary difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect such differences to reverse. If we determine that it is more likely than not that we will not generate sufficient taxable income to realize the value of some or all of our deferred tax assets (net of our deferred tax liabilities), we establish a valuation allowance offsetting the amount we do not expect to realize. We perform this analysis each reporting period and reduce our measurement of deferred taxes if the likelihood we will realize them becomes uncertain.
The deferred tax assets that we record each period depend primarily on our ability to generate future taxable income in the United States. Each period, we evaluate the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets and, if necessary, adjust the valuation allowance so that net deferred tax assets are recorded only to the extent we conclude it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realized. If our outlook for future taxable income changes significantly, our assessment of the need for, and the amount of, a valuation allowance may also change.
We are also required to evaluate and quantify other sources of taxable income, such as the possible reversal of future deferred tax liabilities, should any arise, and the implementation of tax planning strategies. Evaluating and quantifying these amounts is difficult and involves significant judgment, based on all of the available evidence and assumptions about our future activities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825, Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (“ASC 825”) requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value (“FV”) of financial instruments. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, other current assets and prepaid expenses, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities and due to Company affiliates approximate their FVs because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The management of the Company is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial statements.
Note 3 - Going Concern
We assess going concern uncertainty in our consolidated financial statements to determine if we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand and working capital, including available loans or lines of credit, if any, to operate for a period of at least 12 months from the date our consolidated financial statements are issued. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to us, we consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, and estimates, and we make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, and our ability to delay or curtail those expenditures or programs, if necessary, among other factors.
Management has reviewed our financial condition, focusing on liquidity sources and upcoming financial obligations. This assessment shows that our short-term obligations exceed the resources available under current operational plans that raise a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months after the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. Additionally, while recent acquisitions are expected to increase operational expenses, we anticipate that they will increase revenue streams, contributing positively to our financial outlook. We believe these acquisitions will enhance product offerings and market reach, which we anticipate will drive higher revenue in the coming months. However, the revenue from our recent acquisitions and from our technology platforms do not yet offset our current obligations and expenses. Management anticipates continuing operating losses for the next 12 months due to growth initiatives, management expects to continue raising capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund its operations. Management believes that these actions will effectively mitigate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and to ultimately achieve profitability. However, management cannot provide assurance that their plans to add revenue streams, raise revenue or raise additional capital will be successful, and whether we will ultimately achieve profitability, become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. If we are unable to raise our revenues sufficiently to cover our obligations and expenses or raise additional capital in the near future, management expects that we will need to curtail operations, seek additional capital on less favorable terms, and/or pursue other remedial measures.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company holds $3.1 million in cash.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. The valuation allowance changed by $2.4 million, during the year ended December 31, 2024.
For the period ended December 31, 2024, we had a total carryover of Federal Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”) of $22,085,100. The Company’s NOLs were generated after the rules of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) became effective on January 1, 2018. The NOLs do not expire but are subject to the 80% limitation. The Company has a State and city Net Operating Loss carryover of $32,986,420. These NOLs are subject to various limitations and expiration dates.
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses and tax credits in the event of an “ownership change” of a corporation. Accordingly, a company’s ability to use net operating losses and tax credits may be limited as prescribed under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and 383 (“IRC Section 382”). Events which may cause limitations in the amount of the net operating losses or tax credits that the Company may use in any one year include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than 50% over a three-year period. Utilization of the federal and state net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the IRC Section 382 rules and similar state provisions. In the event the Company has any changes in ownership, net operating losses and research and development credit carryovers could be limited and may expire unutilized.
It is the Company’s policy to include penalties and interest expense in income tax expense. There was no interest expense or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits recorded through December 31, 2024.
The Company’s major tax jurisdictions are the United States, India, Nepal and Singapore. All of the Company’s tax years will remain open for examination by the Federal and State tax authorities for three and four years, respectively, from the date of utilization of the net operating loss or research and development credit. The Company does not have any tax audits pending in the United States.
‘The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law August 16, 2022, and includes significant legislation addressing taxes, inflation, climate change and renewable energy incentives, and healthcare. Key tax provisions include a 15% corporate minimum tax, clean energy incentives, and a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks. The Company does not expect the provisions of such legislation to have any impact on the effective tax rate of the Company but will continue to evaluate the tax effects should any provisions become applicable to the Company.
Change to Internal Revenue Code Section 174 under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act went into effect during 2022. The revised code no longer permits a deduction for research and development expenditures in the tax year that such costs incurred. Instead, such costs must be capitalized and amortized over five or 15 years for U.S. and foreign costs, respectively. The Company capitalized such costs in its tax years ended December 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023 income tax provision and return, respectively.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the “OECD”) has issued various proposals that would change long-standing global tax principles. These proposals include a two-pillar approach to global taxation (BEPS 2.0/ Pillar Two), focusing on global profit allocation and a global minimum tax rate. On December 12, 2022, the European Union member states agreed to implement the OECD’s global corporate minimum tax rate of 15%, to be effective as of January 2024. Other countries are also actively considering changes to their tax laws to adopt certain parts of the OECD’s proposals. The enactment of Pillar Two legislation is not anticipated to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s effective tax rate, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company will continue to monitor and reflect the impact of such legislative changes in future financial statements as appropriate.

Note 5 - Business Combinations
Acquisition of Naamche Inc. and Naamche Inc. Pvt Ltd.
On May 6, 2024, we completed our acquisitions of Naamche, Inc. (“U.S. Naamche”) and Naamche, Inc. Pvt Ltd. (“Nepal Naamche,” and together with U.S. Naamche, “Naamche”). As a result, we own 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Naamche, and both entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. We acquired Naamche to assist the Company with the research and development of its proprietary AI algorithms and other technologies.
The purchase price consisted of (i) a $50,000 cash payment, (ii)225,000 restricted shares of common stock to be issued within 9 months from the closing date of the acquisitions subject to terms and conditions specified herein, and (iii) $450,000 in cash, payable over a 3-year period following the closing date of the acquisitions based on the achievement by Naamche of specified revenue-based targets.

| Net assets acquired | $525,396 | $(402,756) | $122,640 | |
| (1) | During the measurement period, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment to the preliminary purchase price allocation (“PPA”). This adjustment reduced goodwill due to eliminating intercompany transactions affecting the PPA and removed previously recognized contingent consideration, which was recorded as compensation expense under ASC 805. |
The determination of the fair value for the acquired business employed the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method. This method involves assessing the present value of anticipated future cash flows from the acquired business. These cash flows are discounted at the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), which represents the necessary return on the combined entity’s equity and debt. The WACC is weighted by the respective proportions of equity and debt in the overall capital structure.
For the fair valuation of trademarks and trade names, the relief from royalty method was applied. Customer and other relationships were valued through the multi-period excess earnings model (“MPEEM”), which calculates the present value of excess earnings attributed to these relationships over their estimated remaining useful life.

Acquisition of AiChat Pte. Ltd.
On July 12, 2024, we entered into a Business Acquisition and Financing Agreement (the “Business Acquisition Agreement”) with AiChat Pte. Ltd. (“AiChat”), AiChat10X Pte. Ltd., and Kester Poh Kah Yong, pursuant to which we acquired 85% of AiChat’s ordinary shares, with the remaining 15% to be acquired by June 30, 2025. AiChat is an AI-powered company offering conversational customer experience solutions.
The total purchase price to acquire 100% of AiChat is $1,140,000, which consists of: (i) $312,000 in restricted common stock, issuable by January 1, 2025; (ii) $588,000 in restricted common stock, issuable by April 1, 2025, subject to adjustments set forth in the Business Acquisition Agreement; and (iii) $240,000 in restricted common stock, issuable by December 1, 2025.

The determination of the fair value for the acquired business employed the income approach, specifically the DCF method. This method involves assessing the present value of anticipated future cash flows from the acquired business. These cash flows are discounted at the WACC, which represents the necessary return on the combined entity’s equity and debt. The WACC is weighted by the respective proportions of equity and debt in the overall capital structure.
For the fair valuation of developed technology, the relief from royalty method was applied. The estimation of the economic useful life of these assets took into account factors outlined in ASC 350. Trademarks and trade names fair value was determined using the relief from royalty method. Customer and other relationships were valued through MPEEM, which calculates the present value of excess earnings attributed to these relationships over their estimated remaining useful life. Assembled workforce is not recognized separately from goodwill, as it lacks separability and contractual nature.
The final purchase price allocation includes $1,135,000 of acquired identifiable intangible assets, all of which have finite lives. The intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The determination of the useful lives is based upon various industry studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors, and future forecasted cash flows of the Company following the acquisition of AiChat.
Additionally, as part of the acquisition of AiChat, we committed to purchase 55,710 ordinary shares of AiChat at a cost of $60,000, payable at the transaction’s closing. Furthermore, we also agreed to purchase an additional 222,841 ordinary shares of AiChat for $240,000. The specific dates for these payments are outlined in the Business Acquisition Agreement.

| (2) | On August 20, 2024, the Company reclassified a portion of WIP to intangible assets, specifically: $156,800 to GENA, $593,843 to the reAlpha platform and also reclassified the additions made to Claire post reclassification of $150,372. Both Claire and GENA began amortization over five years starting August 20, 2024, in accordance with ASC 350 and also includes reclassification of capitalized cost of $145,746 to expenses during the period ended December 31, 2024. |
Note 8 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets are primarily the result of business acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually, as of December 31, or more frequently when events occur and circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
During the measurement period, the Company recorded an adjustment of $138,438 related to the Be My Neighbor acquisition, reflecting refinements in the fair value assessment of acquired liabilities.
Additionally, the Company assessed the Rhove acquisition for impairment and determined that an impairment charge was necessary. The impairment evaluation considered factors such as changes in expected future cash flows and market conditions affecting the acquired assets. The impairment expense has been recognized in the financial statements accordingly.
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows:

Following this reclassification, during the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company capitalized an additional$150,372 in significant platform improvements to the reAlpha platform (Claire). These improvements were enhancements without significant changes to the platform’s useful life, rather than costs incurred during the application development stage.
The Company recorded amortization expenses of $441,800 and $259,038 for the year ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation
We issued an aggregate of 219,039 shares of common stock during and as of the year ended December 31, 2024, pursuant to reAlpha Tech Corp.’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2022 Plan”) described below.
Equity Incentive Plan
We maintain the 2022 Plan, under which we may grant awards to our employees, officers and directors and certain other service providers. The compensation committee of our board of directors administers the 2022 Plan. The 2022 Plan permits grants of awards to eligible employees, consultants and other service providers. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2022 Plan may not exceed 4,000,000 shares of common stock of which 3,780,961 remain available for issuance. All of our current employees, consultants and other service providers are eligible to be granted awards under the 2022 Plan. Eligibility for awards under the 2022 Plan is determined by the board of directors at its discretion.
The 2022 Plan permits the discretionary award of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-statutory stock options (“NQSOs”), stock awards (which may have varying vesting schedules and be subject to lock-up periods at the board of directors’ discretion) and other equity awards to selected participants. Unless sooner terminated, no ISO may be granted under the 2022 Plan on or after the 10th anniversary of the Effective Date (as defined in the 2022 Plan).
The compensation committee has the sole discretion in setting the vesting period and, if applicable, exercise schedule of an award, determining that an award may not vest for a specified period after it is granted and accelerating the vesting period of an award. The plan administrator determines the exercise or purchase price of each award, to the extent applicable. The 2022 Plan does not allow for the assignment, transfer or exercise of awards other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Unless otherwise provided by the participant’s Option Award Agreement or Stock Award Agreement (as both terms are defined in the 2022 Plan) issued pursuant to the 2022 Plan, upon the participant’s termination for any reason, including but not limited to death, Disability (as defined in the 2022 Plan), voluntary termination nor involuntary termination with or without Cause (as defined in the 2022 Plan), all unvested equity awards in the form of options or shares shall be forfeited. Vested options, unless otherwise provided, will remain exercisable for three (3) months following termination of the participant if such termination is for any reason other than death, Disability or termination for Cause. In case the participant’s separation from service is due to death or Disability, then the vested options will be exercisable for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter. In case the participant’s termination is for Cause, the participant will immediately forfeit any and all options issued to such participant under the 2022 Plan.
The 2022 Plan also provides the Company with a right of repurchase all or portion of the shares awarded to the participant under the 2022 Plan, which may be exercised in case a participant separates from service for any reason, at a price equal to the fair market value, as determined by the board of directors. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2022 Plan), the board of directors will have the sole discretion to address the treatment of a participant’s unvested awards in connection with such Change in Control in the participant’s award agreement.
The board of directors may modify, amend or terminate the plan at any time, provided that no such modification, amendment or termination of the 2022 Plan materially affects the rights of a participant under a previously granted award without that participant’s consent. Further, the board of directors cannot, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, amend this plan: (i) increase the number of common stock with respect to the ISOs that may be granted under the 2022 Plan; (ii) make any changes in the class of employees eligible to receive the ISOs under the plan; (iii) without stockholder approval if required by applicable law.
Warrants
We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of the warrant’s issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
The Warrants issued in connection with the follow-on offering and in connection with the GEM Agreement meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 480 and ASC 815, therefore, the warrants are classified as equity.
On October 23, 2023, we issued GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (“GYBL”) warrants to purchase up to 1,700,884 shares of our common stock (the “GEM Warrants”) at an original exercise price of $406.67 per share, subsequently adjusted to $371.90 following our most recent public offering. On November 1, 2024, we filed a lawsuit against GYBL seeking to void the GEM Warrants or obtain a declaratory judgment that the warrant terms govern exercise price adjustments. On March 14, 2025, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed our complaint. We are evaluating the decision and potential appeal options. On March 19, 2025, GYBL filed a separate lawsuit against us in the same court, alleging breach of the GEM Warrants and seeking declaratory relief, monetary damages, specific performance, and attorneys’ fees. We intend to defend the action and pursue all available legal remedies. Due to the pending litigation, the classification of the GEM Warrants under ASC 480 and ASC 815 remains uncertain. If resolved adversely, we may be required to reclassify the warrants as liabilities, which could impact our financial statements. No adjustments have been made as of December 31, 2024, as these events occurred after the balance sheet date. We cannot predict the eventual scope, duration or outcome at this time. At this time, we do not have sufficient information to be able determine whether we will have to pay any damages related to this lawsuit.
On November 24, 2023, we conducted a follow-on offering by issuing 1,600,000 units priced at $5.00 per unit (the “follow-on offering”), each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one and a half warrants to purchase common stock (the “Follow-On Warrants,” and together with the GEM Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Follow-On Warrants permit holders to exercise them over a five-year period at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, subject to “full ratchet” anti-dilution provisions included therein. The “full ratchet” anti-dilution provisions provide that the Follow-On Warrants’ exercise price can be adjusted downward to a floor price of $1.44 per share as a result of subsequent offerings, and the share amount issuable pursuant to such warrants would increase such that the aggregate exercise price payable thereunder would equal the aggregate exercise price prior to such adjustment.
On January 31, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to At the Market Sales Agreement, which amended the At the Market Sales Agreement, dated December 19, 2024, by and between the Company and A.G.P. (the “Original Agreement” and, as amended by the Amendment, the “Sales Agreement”) to reduce the floor price from $5.00 to $3.90 per Placement Share. As a result of this adjustment, the floor price of the Warrants reduced from $5.00 to $3.90 and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants increased to 3,076,923.
Subsequently, on February 27, 2025, in connection with Amendment No. 2 to the At-the-Market Sales Agreement, the floor price used for warrant adjustment purposes was further reduced from $3.90 to $1.44, which is the minimum exercise price permitted under the terms of the warrants. As a result of this further adjustment, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants increased to 8,333,336.
We believe the likelihood that any Warrant holders will exercise their warrants, and the amount of cash proceeds we may receive, depends on the trading price of our common stock. As of the date of this filing, the exercise price of the GEM Warrants remains $371.90, while the exercise price of the Follow-On Warrants has been reduced to $1.44 per share, the floor price permitted under their terms, following the February 27, 2025 amendment to the At-the-Market Sales Agreement. If the trading price of our common stock remains below these respective exercise prices, it is unlikely that the holders will exercise their warrants. While these market conditions currently make exercise of the GEM Warrants unlikely, the reduced exercise price of the Follow-On Warrants may increase the potential for those to be exercised. Additionally, following the March 14, 2025 dismissal of our lawsuit seeking to void the GEM Warrants, and the subsequent legal action filed by GYBL on March 19, 2025 alleging breach and seeking to enforce the GEM Warrants, there is continuing uncertainty regarding the enforceability of the GEM Warrants and the appropriate method for calculating any adjustment to their exercise price. As a result, and pending the outcome of the related litigation, no adjustments have been made to the GEM Warrants’ exercise price based on the one-year anniversary adjustment provision. See “Note 18 – Subsequent Events” for additional information.
Our analysis is based on the trading price of our common stock as of March 28, 2024, which was $1.17 per share.
Rights
On March 24, 2023, in connection with the acquisition of Rhove, we allocated rights to each seller and participating investors a right to purchase 1,263,000 additional shares of common stock (the “Rollover Stock”) at a fixed price of $10 per share within a two-year period following the closing date of acquisition of Rhove and shall thereafter terminate if not exercised within in such two-year period with no modifications to the exercise terms (the “Rights”). These shares were issued without any restrictions.
For details on the factors used in the calculation of the fair value of the Follow-On Warrants and Rights, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-KT. As the warrants issued in connection with the follow-on offering and GEM Agreement are classified as equity instruments, they are not subject to fair value remeasurement at the end of each reporting period.
Warrants and Rights activity as of December 31, 2024 were as follows:
| Issue date | Period ended | Contractual life (years) | Warrants/Options Outstanding | Weighted Average Exercise Price | Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rhove (rollover options) Issued on March 24, 2023 | 03/04/2023 | 12/31/2024 | 2 | 1,263,000 | 10.00 | 0.17 |
| GEM Warrants Issued on October 23, 2023 | 10/23/2023 | 12/31/2024 | 5 | 1,700,884 | 371.9 | 3.81 |
| Follow-on Warrants Issued on November 21, 2023(1) | 11/21/2023 | 12/31/2024 | 5 | 2,400,000 | 1.44 | 3.89 |
| Warrants outstanding on December 31, 2024 | 5,363,884 | 120.93 | 2.99 | |||
| (1) | In accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of the Follow-On Warrants, the per share exercise price was reduced from $3.90 to $1.44, while the number of shares issuable was increased to approximately 8,333,336, thereby maintaining the aggregate exercise price. This adjustment was reflected in the Company’s filing on February 27, 2025. |
Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3
The Company filed a Form S-3 (File No. 333-283284) shelf registration statement with the SEC on November 15, 2024, that was declared effective on November 26, 2024 (the “Form S-3”). The Form S-3 allows us to offer common stock, preferred stock, warrants, subscription rights and units from time to time, as market conditions permit to fund, to the extent required beyond the 12 months from the date hereof, the ongoing operations of the Company. Until the growth of revenue increases to a level that covers operating expenses, the Company intends to continue to fund operations in this manner, although, the volatility in the capital markets and potential upcoming recession may negatively affect our ability to do so.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has an At-the-Market (“ATM”) program with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”), as sales agent, pursuant to an ATM Sales Agreement, dated December 19, 2024 (the “Sales Agreement”), under which it may sell shares of common stock with an aggregate offering price of up to $14,275,000 (see “Note 18 – Recent Developments” for more information on subsequent amendments to the Sales Agreement and related information). During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued zero shares of its common stock from the ATM program.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company is subject to the SEC’s “baby shelf rules,” which prohibits companies with a public float of less than $75 million from issuing securities under a shelf registration statement in excess of one-third of such company’s public float in a 12-month period. These rules may limit future issuances of shares by the Company under its Form S-3, the ATM program and related Sales Agreement or other securities offerings.
Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies
Pursuant to the terms of that certain Share Purchase Agreement between the Company and GEM Global Yield LLC SCS (“GEM Yield”) and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (“GYBL,” and collectively, “GEM”), dated December 1, 2022 (the “GEM Agreement”), we are required to indemnify GEM for any losses it incurs as a result of a breach by us or of our representations and warranties and covenants under the GEM Agreement or for any misstatement or omission of a material fact in a registration statement registering those shares pursuant to the GEM Agreement. Also, GEM is entitled to be reimbursed for legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing, or defending against any such loss. To date, we have not raised any capital pursuant to the GEM Agreement and we may not raise any capital pursuant to the GEM Agreement prior to its expiration. Restrictions pursuant to terms of our future financings may also affect our ability to raise capital pursuant to the GEM Agreement.
The Company maintains indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify these individuals against liabilities that arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, except as prohibited by law.
Contingent Consideration and Compensation
Acquisition Agreement – Naamche
The Company’s agreement with Naamche includes deferred payment provisions representing potential milestone payments for Naamche’s former owners. The provisions are made up of two general types of arrangements, contingent compensation and contingent consideration. The contingent compensation arrangement is contingent on the former owner’s future employment with the Company and the related amounts are recognized over the required employment period. The contingent consideration is not contingent on employment and was recorded as purchase consideration in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at the time of the initial acquisition based on the fair value of the estimated liability. The amounts are paid over a three-year period, contingent on the achievement of certain revenue milestones.
Acquisition Agreement – Debt Does Deals, LLC (dba “Be My Neighbor”)
The Company’s agreement with Be My Neighbor includes deferred payment provisions representing potential milestone payments for its former owners. The provisions are made up of contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is not contingent on employment and was recorded as purchase consideration in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at the time of the initial acquisition based on the fair value of the estimated liability. The amounts are paid over a three-year period, contingent on the achievement of certain revenue and EBITDA milestones.
The Company primarily determines the contingent consideration liability based on the forecasted probability of achieving the respective milestones. The contingent consideration liability is measured at fair value each reporting period and changes in estimates of fair value are recognized in earnings.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Contingent consideration was valued at December 31, 2024 using unobservable inputs, primarily internal revenue forecasts. Contingent consideration was valued at the time of acquisitions and have included using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s management with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s contingent consideration liabilities, non-current balances were as follows:
| Contingent consideration at Purchase Date · Consideration Paid · Changes in Fair Value · Fair Value · Contingent Consideration | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 3: | |||||||
| Contingent consideration, non-current - Naamche | $137,000 | $ | - | $ | - | $137,000 | $137,000 |

Legal Matters
India Proceeding Involving Giri Devanur
In 2006, Mr. Devanur became the CEO of an India-based company named Gandhi City Research Park, Private Limited (“Gandhi City Research Park”). Gandhi City Research Park was liquidated as a result of the Lehman Brothers collapse in 2009. In 2010, an investor in Gandhi City Research Park filed a fraud complaint with the Cubbon Park Police Station in Bengaluru, India, against, among others, Mr. Devanur. In 2014, the Cubbon Park Police dismissed all claims. Subsequently, in 2015 the investor appealed the Cubbon Park Police’s decision before the Lower Court. In November 2018, the Lower Court issued a criminal summons against, among others, Mr. Devanur. Mr. Devanur petitioned the High Court to quash the summons. By order dated March 27, 2023, the High Court granted Mr. Devanur’s petition and ordered the Lower Court to reconsider the investor’s appeal. On August 3, 2023, the Lower Court decided to uphold the Cubbon Park Police’s decision and close the criminal case against Mr. Devanur. On December 4, 2023, Mr. Devanur received a petition to challenge the Lower Court’s order to uphold the Cubbon Park Police’s decision and close Mr. Devanur’s criminal case. Mr. Devanur is vigorously contesting this petition.
Malpractice Lawsuit
On July 13, 2023, the Company filed a complaint in Franklin County, Ohio, against Buchanan, Ingersoll & Rooney, PC (“Buchanan”), Rajiv Khanna (“Khanna”) and Brian S. North (“North,” together with Buchanan and Khanna, the “Buchanan Legal Counsel”). The complaint alleges that the Buchanan Legal Counsel failed to provide proper and timely legal advice during the Company’s Tier 2 Regulation A offering, resulting in late Blue Sky notice filings with all required states prior to the Company offering and selling securities in those states. As a result, the Company was subject to a number of inquiries, investigations, and subpoenas by the various states, incurring significant legal fees and fines, lost opportunity due to pausing its Regulation A campaign, in addition to the loss of a $20 million institutional investment. The Company is seeking the forfeit of all legal fees associated with this matter, the award of legal fees to bring this matter to action, and further legal and equitable relief as the Court deems just and proper. In response to the counterclaims filed by the Buchanan Legal Counsel on August 16, 2023, the Company has denied the allegations made therein, asserting that they lack merit and are either insufficiently supported or entirely untrue. The Company contends that any damages claimed by the defendants arise from their own negligence and failure to meet their contractual obligations. At this time, the Company cannot predict the eventual scope, duration, or outcome of the lawsuit.
GEM Yield Bahamas Limited Litigation
On November 1, 2024, we filed a lawsuit against GYBL in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”) in which we have asserted two causes of action: (i) rescission of the GEM Warrants issued pursuant to the GEM Agreement, pursuant to Section 29(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) due to GYBL’s underlying violation of Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act for effecting the GEM Warrants as an unregistered dealer, and (ii) in the alternative, a declaratory judgment that the exercise price adjustment calculation of the GEM Warrants is governed by the terms provided in the GEM Warrants, rather than the terms of the GEM Agreement.
On March 14, 2025, the Court granted GYBL’s motion to dismiss our complaint relating to the lawsuit against GYBL. We are currently evaluating the Court’s decision and all legal rights available to us, including, but not limited to, appealing the Court’s decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. There is no assurance that any such appeal would be successful.
Note 16 - Discontinued Operations
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company made a strategic decision to fully discontinue its Rhove operations, a component that previously operated under the rental business segment. This decision was based on the lack of future revenue potential and the absence of funding to further develop the platform.
As a result, the Rhove operations have been classified as a discontinued operation in accordance with ASC 205-20.
The following table rolls forward Rhove assets and liabilities from their carrying values prior to classification as discontinued operations to their values after such classification, and presents the impact of reclassifications, impairments, and write-offs:

Note 17 - Segment Reporting
In November 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires expanded disclosures about reportable segments including additional information on segment expenses, expanded interim period disclosures, and an explanation of how the chief operating decision maker utilizes segment information in evaluating segment performance. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-07 will have on the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.
Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. We haveone reportable segment based on our business units: (i) Technology Services. Our chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and the President, each of which reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company.
