Previous report

In an effort to resolve the Auctus obligation, on May 17, 2022, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with XTI Aircraft Company (“XTI”) whereby Xeriant would receive compensation for introducing Inpixon, a Nasdaq-listed company, to XTI for a combination or any other transaction. Should a combination or any other transaction occur, the compensation due to Xeriant would include XTI assuming Xeriant’s obligations under its Senior Secured Note with Auctus and Xeriant would receive a six percent (6%) fully diluted interest in XTI upon dissolution of its Joint Venture with Xeriant. On July 25, 2023, Inpixon filed an 8-K announcing that they had signed an Agreement of Plan and Merger with XTI. On October 6, 2023, Inpixon filed an S4/A for the business combination with XTI. On March 12, 2024, XTI merged with Inpixon, the Nasdaq-listed company introduced to XTI by Xeriant, arranged through Xeriant’s investment banker at that time, Maxim Group, LLC.

Previous report

On June 1, 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filed a complaint in the U.S, District Court in Massachusetts (Case no. 1:23-cv-11233) against Auctus Fund Management, LLC, and its principals, Louis Posner and Alfred Sollami, predicated on their alleged failure to duly register as securities dealers in compliance with SEC regulations.

Previous report

The SEC complaint charges Auctus Management, Mr. Sollami, and Mr. Posner with breaches of Sections 15(a)(1) and 20(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Pursuant to these charges, the SEC is actively seeking the imposition of permanent injunctions, disgorgement of any unauthorized proceeds coupled with the associated prejudgment interest, civil pecuniary sanctions, proscriptions related to penny stock dealings, and other forms of just and equitable relief. Additionally, the SEC complaint incorporates Auctus Fund as a relief defendant and thereby endeavors to secure disgorgement from Auctus Fund, of ill-gotten gains from the activities of Auctus Management, Mr. Sollami, and Mr. Posner.

Previous report

Given that Auctus issued a Senior Secured Promissory Note to Xeriant on October 27, 2021, we believe the SEC's order to surrender and cancel any securities obtained by Auctus in connection with its convertible notes business between 2012 and 2021 (including convertible notes, warrants, and shares), may result in the extinguishment of the Xeriant Senior Secured Promissory Note although no assurance can be given that such result will occur.

Previous report

The Company’s counsel believes that the Auctus obligation will be resolved in either the pending SEC or appellate cases, although there is no certainty of an outcome favorable to the Company.

Previous report

Many of the regulations involving Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) aircraft and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are still being established and may affect our investment in XTI Aircraft Company.

Previous report

The USDOT, FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and other agencies at the federal, state and local levels are beginning to address some of the numerous certification, regulatory and legal challenges associated with AAM, including VTOL aircraft, UAV and unmanned aerial systems (UAS). A comprehensive set of standards and enforcement procedures for these new transport systems will need to be developed. New aircraft and their operators must undergo rigorous testing and certification, which may require new or modified airworthiness certification standards. These aircraft will also need to comply with existing regulations or be the subject of new regulations to cover their activities. Current regulations govern operating BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight), passenger transport, operating over people and public streets, privacy, transporting commercial cargo across state lines and instrument-based flight. The integration of UAS and UAM into the National Airspace System and air traffic management is a critical factor, requiring a remote identification process for these aircraft. The FAA’s Unmanned Aircraft System Integration Pilot Program (IPP) will provide certification necessary to operate UAVs for certain applications. It is uncertain how new or changed laws and regulations will affect the introduction of new aerial platforms into the marketplace. The time and costs involved in obtaining these certifications and regulatory compliance may adversely impact the development process.

Previous report

We, and/or our joint ventures, also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how to develop and maintain our, or our joint venture’s, competitive position. Some of our current or former employees, consultants, scientific advisors, contractors, current or prospective corporate collaborators, may unintentionally or willfully disclose our confidential information to competitors or use our proprietary technology for their own benefits. Furthermore, enforcing a claim alleging the infringement of our trade secrets would be expensive and difficult to prove, making the outcome uncertain. Our competitors may also independently develop similar knowledge, methods, and know-how or gain access to our proprietary information through some other means.
Reworded paragraphs (11)

Previous wording

Currently, there is no revenue being generated and we have significant operating losses that are expected to continue into the foreseeable future. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise the capital that will be required to sustain operations and execute our business plan, which involves raising capital for acquisitions as well as developing and commercializing technologies. We are especially focused on the green construction materials business, namely DUREVER™ building products, which includes a line of composite products primarily made from recycled thermoplastics, reinforcement materials and fire-retardant chemicals for use in walls, ceilings, flooring, framing, siding, roofing, molding and decking. The production of green building materials requires establishing manufacturing operations in the United States, whether through contract manufacturing or setting up our own facilities. Should we be unable to raise sufficient capital required to set up manufacturing facilities to produce NEXBOARDTM products, we would lose the ability to deliver NEXBOARD to interested buyers and incur continued operating losses.

Previous wording

At this time, there is no assurance that the SEC will be successful in its effort, or the Company will work out a favorable extension of this note. One of the related obligations of the Company is to uplist to a major exchange. If we do not perform under the Note, and Auctus elects to enforce the Note, we may lose all or substantially all of our assets. If Auctus elects to convert the note into shares of our Common Stock, our shareholders could experience substantial dilution.

Current wording

The Company has Senior Secured Promissory Note with Auctus Fund LLC (“Auctus”), which became due and payable on March 15, 2023. At this time, there is no assurance that the Company will work out a favorable resolution of its obligations related to this note. If Auctus elects to enforce the Note, we may lose all or substantially all of our assets. If Auctus elects to convert the note into shares of our Common Stock, our shareholders could experience substantial dilution.

Previous wording

Based primarily on the SEC case, on October 19, 2023, Xeriant filed a complaint in the United States Southern District of New York (Case no.1:23-cv-09200) against Auctus Fund LLC, to invalidate allegedly illegally designed contractual agreements, including contesting the enforceability of the related note and amendments, and to set aside improper and unlawful securities transactions effectuated in violation of Section 15(a)(1) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. § 78o(a)(1)) by the Defendant, alleging breaches of fiduciary duty and related claims. On February 9, 2024 the case was dismissed. The Company filed a Notice of Civil Appeal on March 13, 2024, primarily based on public welfare because of the pending litigation between the SEC and Auctus. On June 19, 2024, the Company filed an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Case no. 24-682-cv), which is still pending. The foregoing descriptions of the legal actions do not purport to be complete and are subject in their entirety by the full text of the court filings.

On June 19, 2024, the Company filed an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Case no. 24-682-cv). On June 25, 2025, the appellate court affirmed the lower court’s decision. The Company’s counsel is in the process of filing an appeal to the United States Supreme Court to challenge this decision, which went against precedent decisions in other districts. In addition to the pending legal matters, the Company is currently in discussions with Auctus in an attempt to come up with a settlement. The Company’s ongoing lawsuit against XTI Aircraft Company has a connection to the Auctus matter in that the Company’s obligations to Auctus were, according to the Company’s complaint, to be assumed by XTI as provided in a Letter Agreement. The foregoing descriptions of the legal actions do not purport to be complete and are subject in their entirety by the full text of the court filings.

Previous wording

A significant part of our projected operations is expected to come from the sale of DUREVER™ and NEXBOARD™ products primarily made from recycled materials that use our proprietary eco-friendly industrial flame retardants. We continue testing several different flame-retardant formulas to insure effective performance in the required fire tests for the construction industry and other applications.

Current wording

A significant part of our projected operations is expected to come from the sale of DUREVER™ products and NEXBOARD™ composite wallboards that are primarily made from recycled materials that use our proprietary eco-friendly industrial flame retardants and nanomaterials. We are in the process of obtaining certification of NEXBOARD for the construction industry and other applications, however, there is no assurance that the required certifications will be obtained.

Previous wording

Changes in the general economic climate could have a detrimental impact on our revenue. It is possible that recessionary pressures and other economic factors (such as declining incomes, future potential rising interest rates, higher unemployment and tax increases) may adversely affect the Company. A worsening economy such as we are currently experiencing due to the Covid-19 pandemic may have a material adverse effect on our financial results and on your investment.

Previous wording

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the U.S. and global economy over the past few years, resulting in significant travel restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption of supply chains and the financial markets. The extent to which our operations may be impacted by the other public health conditions cannot be accurately predicted, including actions by government authorities to contain an outbreak or treat its impact. We may experience materially adverse impacts on our business due to a number of potential economic conditions. The impact of significant public health conditions may also exacerbate other risks discussed in these risk factors, any of which could have a material effect on us.

Current wording

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the U.S. and global economy several years ago, resulting in significant travel restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption of supply chains and the financial markets. The extent to which our operations may be impacted by the re-occurrence of this pandemic or other public health conditions cannot be accurately predicted, including actions by government authorities to contain an outbreak or treat its impact. We may experience materially adverse impacts on our business due to a number of potential economic conditions. The impact of significant public health conditions may also exacerbate other risks discussed in these risk factors, any of which could have a material effect on us.

Previous wording

From time to time in the normal course of our business operations, we may become subject to litigation that may result in a liability material to our financial statements as a whole or may negatively affect our operating results if changes to our business operations are required. The cost to defend such litigation may be significant and may require a diversion of our resources. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affect customer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. Insurance may not be available at all or in sufficient amounts to cover any liabilities with respect to these or other matters. A judgment or other liability in excess of our insurance coverage for any claims could adversely affect our business and the results of our operations.
