The PDR was completed during the first quarter of 2022 according to XTI.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. On September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, the Company had $300,002 and $653,117 in cash, respectively, and $8,532,513 and $8,661,248 in negative working capital, respectively. On September 30, 2024, the principal balance of the Auctus Senior Secured Promissory Note was $5,850,000. The Note matured on March 15, 2023, and the company has been in discussions with Auctus to resolve the liability. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had a net loss of $372,222 and $342,012, respectively. Continued losses may adversely affect the liquidity of the Company in the future. Therefore, the factors noted above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to succeed in its future operations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. To implement its business plan, the Company must raise sufficient funds in the form of equity, debt, or a combination thereof. Until the Company develops profitable operations, it is dependent upon management continually raising funds.
