Current report

The Company recognized $657,000 in revenue related to App-generated services and software revenues related to charter bookings made through its App in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $195,000 compared to the 2023 period and primarily reflected seasonality and a shift in Spring-related charters from April to March. This compares to software revenues totaling $852,000 in the 2023 period.

Current report

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company sold 122 prepaid flight hours, amounting to $713,000, and recognized $709,000 of revenue for 113 flight hours flown or forfeited, as well as additional charges.

Current report

The decrease in flight hours flown period over period is a direct result of a reduction in flying by the Company’s Jet Card holders during this period.

Current report

In addition to its software App and jet card revenues, the Company also generates revenue through the direct chartering of its HondaJet and Citation CJ4 aircraft by Cirrus. During the second quarter of 2024 this revenue amounted to approximately $954,000, an increase of $247,000, or 34.9% from the second quarter of 2023. The increased revenue was a direct result of increased availability and chartering of the managed Citation CJ4.

Current report

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company operated 3 HondaJets, 1 CJ4 and, in addition to the CJ4, managed a King Air 350i.

Current report

The Company’s sales and marketing expenses declined by about $2,000 to $102,000 in the second quarter of 2024 from $104,000 in the second quarter of 2023, as the Company continued its sales and marketing spending for its jet card inventory and charter app. These expenses are mainly linked to promoting the Company and its programs.

Current report

Research and development expenses increased $9,000 to $37,000 in the second quarter of 2024 from $28,000 in the second quarter of 2023, due to continuing refinement of the App, as well as continued development work on additional software offerings.

Current report

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recognized approximately $59 in interest income. There were no such other income or expenses in the second quarter of 2023.

Current report

Revenues for the first six months of 2024 totaled approximately $6.9 million, a $2.3 million increase from revenues of approximately $4.7 million during the 2023 period, primarily related to increases in Software App and Cirrus Charter revenue, as well as increased Management and Other Services revenue of $1.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Revenues in the 2024 period were comprised of $1.7 million in services revenue from the management of customers’ aircraft, $2.3 million in software-related revenue, $1.2 million in Jet Card revenue for hours flown and other charges based on hours flown and $1.6 million in revenue from the chartering of our HondaJets and Citation CJ4 by our operating partner Cirrus.

Current report

The Company began recognizing revenue in September 2020 reflecting services and software revenues related to charter bookings made through its App and in the first six months of 2023, the Company recognized $1.3 million in revenue related to App-generated charter bookings. During the 2024 period these revenues totaled $2.3 million, a $1.0 million or 71.8% increase from 2023 reflecting additional brokerage staff, increased marketing and greater awareness of the Company.

Current report

The Company recognized $1.7 million in service revenue in the first six months of 2024, an increase of $0.9 million, relating to an agreement entered into during the fourth quarter of 2023 to manage a customer’s aircraft, as well as a second managed aircraft beginning in April 2024. There was $0.8 million in service revenues in the first six months of 2023.

Current report

In the first six months of 2023, we sold 261 prepaid flight hours amounting to approximately $1.4 million and recognized approximately $1.4 million of revenue for 210 flight hours flown or forfeited, as well as additional charges.

Current report

The increase in flight hours flown is a direct result of the increased number of aircraft.

Current report

During the first six months of 2024 revenue generated through the direct chartering of the Company’s HondaJet and Citation CJ4 aircraft by Cirrus amounted to approximately $1.6 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 37.8% from the prior year. The increased revenue was a direct result of increased charter activity, both ad hoc and by Cirrus, as well as the addition of the managed Citation CJ4 and King Air 350i.

Current report

As a result of the increased ad hoc and Cirrus charter flight activity, as well as the startup expenses relating to the introduction of the King Air 350i managed aircraft to its fleet, operating expenses related to the operation of the Company’s aircraft and payments to Cirrus for their management increased $1.6 million from $2.8 million in the first six months of 2023 to $4.4 million in 2024 and aircraft lease payments increased $151,000 from $544,000 in 2023 to $695,000 in the first six months of 2024. The Company also incurred third-party charter costs of approximately $2.0 million in the first six months of 2024, a $0.5 million increase over 2023, in order to fulfill a greater number of App-generated charter bookings, as well as subcharters used for covering jet card flights when our HondaJets were unavailable. Federal excise tax and merchant fees relating to charter flights increased $250,000 in the first six months of 2024 to $409,000 from $159,000 in 2023.

Current report

In total, it cost $7.5 million to operate the Company’s 6 aircraft in the first six months of 2024, compared to $4.9 million during the 2023 period for 5 aircraft.

Current report

The resulting gross loss totaled $541,000 for the first six months of 2024, compared to $276,000 for the 2023 period. The increased gross loss in these operations was a result of increased maintenance costs, together with lower utilization on our HondaJets.

Current report

In the first six months of 2024, the Company’s operating expenses increased $0.9 million due to a $0.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses, $325,000 in higher sales and marketing expenses, and $5,000 in higher research and development costs. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation of $2.4 million and $2.8 million in the first six months of 2024 and 2023, respectively, general and administrative expenses rose by approximately $1.0 million primarily due to due to an increase in professional service expenses of $280,000 related to our software development and legal expenses relating to the Company’s SEC filings and various transactions the Company closed or pursued, $117,000 in payments to our Board of Directors and increased wages of $450,000, primarily due to increased commissions compensation payable on charter sales, as well as a greater number of software developers in 2024.

Current report

The Company’s sales and marketing expenses increased by about $325,000 to $549,000 in the first six months of 2024 from $224,000 in 2023, as it reaccelerated its sales and marketing spending for software and jet card sales. These expenses are mainly linked to promoting the Company and its programs.

Current report

Research and development expenses increased approximately $5,000 to $70,000 in the first six months of 2024 from $65,000 in the comparable 2023 period, due to continuing refinement of the App, as well as some initial development work on additional software offerings.

Current report

As a result of all of the above, in the first six months of 2024 the Company recognized an operating loss of approximately $6.4 million, which was an increase in loss of nearly $1.2 million compared to the comparable 2023 period. The increase was primarily due to reduced gross profits of $0.3 million, as well as a $0.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses.

Current report

In July 2024, the Company 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 shares of Company common stock Maxim may acquire upon the conversion of its shares of Series Preferred Stock.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2024 totaled $3.8 million, a $1.9 million increase from 2023’s first quarter revenues of $1.9 million, and were comprised of $1.7 million in software-related revenue, $684,000 in charter revenue from the chartering of our Citation CJ4 and HondaJets by our operating partner Cirrus, $677,000 in Jet Card revenue for hours flown and other charges based on hours flown and $800,000 in management and other service revenue from the management of customers’ aircraft.

Current wording

Revenues for the second quarter of 2024 totaled approximately $3.1 million, a $0.3 million increase from $2.8 million during the comparable period in 2023, which consisted of $914,000 in services revenue from the management of customers’ aircraft, $657,000 in software-related revenue, $559,000 in Jet Card revenue for hours flown and other charges based on hours flown, and $954,000 in revenue from the chartering of our HondaJets by our operating partner Cirrus.

Previous wording

The primary reason for this increase in revenue was due to primarily to significant increases in Software App and Management and Other Services revenues.

Current wording

The primary reason for this increase in revenue was due to additional service revenue of $500,000 arising from an additional management agreement for customer aircraft in the second quarter of 2024 and increased chartering of the Company’s Citation CJ4, offset by a $253,000 reduction in software revenue due to seasonality and the resulting reduced flying by the Company’s Jet Card holders and ad hoc charter clients.

Previous wording

Under our jet card program we charge an hourly rate for flight time. Under our fractional program we charge a monthly fee and hourly fees based on usage. In both cases, prepaid flight hours and usage fees are recognized as revenue as the flight hours are used or forfeited and monthly fees are recognized monthly. Deferred revenue at the end of each period reflects prepaid flight hours for which the related travel had not yet occurred. We also record revenue for additional charges, representing primarily 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. All of these revenues are reflected as Jet Card and Fractional Program revenues. The increase in revenue from Jet Card and Fractional Programs of $129,775 in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 is due to higher utilization by our Jet Card clients as well as higher average revenues per flight hour.

Current wording

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company sold 55 prepaid flight hours under its jet card and fractional programs, amounting to $319,000, and recognized $616,000 of revenue for 87 flight hours flown or forfeited, as well as 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 June 30, 2024, the Company had recorded deferred revenue of $1.1 million on its consolidated balance sheets representing prepaid flight hours for which the related travel had not yet occurred.

Previous wording

The following table details the flight hours sold and flown or forfeited, as well as the associated deferred revenues and recognized revenues, respectively, and additional charges for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023:

Current wording

The following table details the flight hours sold and flown or forfeited, as well as the associated deferred revenues and recognized revenues, respectively, and additional charges for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023:

Previous wording

Our cost of revenue is generally comprised of payments to Cirrus for the maintenance and management of our fleet of aircraft, including the CJ4, 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 their aircraft chartered through our App, as well as the cost of our subcharters for covering jet card flights when our aircraft 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.

Current wording

Our cost of revenue is comprised of payments to Cirrus Aviation 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 our App, 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.

Previous wording

As a result of our increased fleet utilization, the increase in jet card hours flown and additional costs resulting from pilot turn over, costs related to the operation of our aircraft and payments to Cirrus for their management increased $218,000 from $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2023 to $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2024 and aircraft lease payments increased $120,000 from $201,000 in the first quarter of 2023 to $321,000 in the first quarter of 2024. The Company also incurred third-party charter costs of approximately $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2024, a $1.6 million increase over the first quarter of 2023 reflecting primarily lack of availability of our aircraft due to pilot turnover and increased training time, combined with increased charter activity. Merchant fees and federal excise tax relating to charter flights of $161,000 in the first quarter of 2024 were a $94,000 increase over in the first quarter of 2023.

Current wording

As a result, the increased Cirrus charter flight activity, costs related to the operation of these aircraft and payments to Cirrus for their management increased $0.7 million from $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2023 to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2024, and aircraft lease payments increased $31,000 from $346,000 in the second quarter of 2023 to $377,000 in 2024. The Company also incurred third-party charter costs of approximately $623,000 in the second quarter of 2024, a $380,000 decrease over 2023, reflecting the reduction in the number of App-generated charter bookings and a decrease in the number of subcharters required. Merchant fees and federal excise tax relating to charter flights of $249,000 in the second quarter of 2024 were a $157,000 increase as compared to $92,000 in the second quarter of 2023 as a result of increased charter activity.

Previous wording

In total, it cost $4.0 million to operate our aircraft in the first quarter of 2024, compared to $2.0 million to operate our aircraft in the first quarter of 2023.

Current wording

In total, it cost $3.5 million to operate five aircraft in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $3.0 million to operate four aircraft in the second quarter of 2023.

Previous wording

The resulting gross loss totaled approximately $124,356 for the first quarter of 2024, compared to a gross loss of $75,018 for the first quarter of 2023. The gross loss in the first quarter of 2024 was largely driven by increased subcharter costs.

Current wording

The resulting gross loss totaled approximately $417,000 for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $201,000 for the second quarter of 2023. The gross loss in the second quarter of 2024 was largely driven by reduced flights performed for our jet card customers without a corresponding reduction in fixed costs.

Previous wording

In the first quarter of 2024, the Company’s operating expenses increased by $380,936 over the prior year comparable period primarily due to increased sales and marketing expenses. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation of $1.2 million and $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, general and administrative expenses rose by $266,000 primarily due to increases in professional service expense as well as increased insurance costs as a result of our public company directors’ and officers’ insurance.

Current wording

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company’s operating expenses increased by approximately $556,000 over the prior year period primarily due to an approximate $548,000 increase in general and administrative expenses, $9,000 increase in research and development costs and slightly lower sales and marketing expenses. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation of $1.2 million and $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, general and administrative expenses rose by approximately $694,000 primarily due to an increase in professional service expenses of $364,000 resulting primarily from increased legal expenses of $319,000 relating to the Company’s SEC filings and transactions the Company pursued during the quarter and $41,000 in payments to our Board of Directors, as well as increased wages of $294,000, primarily due to increased headcount.

Previous wording

As a result of all of the above, in the first quarter of 2024 the Company recognized an operating loss of approximately $3.1 million, which was an increase in loss of approximately $0.4 million. The increase in operating loss was primarily due to increased subcharters, increased professional services expense and higher D&O insurance costs.

Current wording

As a result of all of the above, in the second quarter of 2024 the Company recognized an operating loss of approximately $3.2 million, which was an increase in loss of approximately $0.8 million. The increase in operating loss was primarily due to the increase in general and administrative expenses resulting from the increase in professional service expenses and wages following the Business Combination.

Previous wording

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company recognized $79,253 in other expense due primarily to interest expense related to the Company’s Bridge Agreement as defined and discussed below.

Current wording

Collectively, these actions resulted in our receiving an additional $1,852,000 of cash subsequent to December 31, 2023. In addition, in March 2024, the Company fully repaid approximately $683,000 of amounts due under the Bridge Agreement described below.

Current wording

During the six month period ended June 30, 2024, the Company raised (1) approximately $1,727,000 in funds from the issuance of 3,200,000 shares of common stock under the Share Purchase Agreement discussed below, as well as $1,500,000 related to the sale of 150 shares of preferred stock, and (2) approximately $742,000 from Jet.AI Warrant exercises.

Previous wording

The Company also incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and significant losses from operations in the past as reflected in its accumulated deficit of approximately $42.5 million as of March 31, 2024. While we expect to drive revenue and operating profit growth from aircraft acquisitions, higher average hourly pricing of jet cards, increased charter activity through CharterGPT and Reroute AI and SaaS revenues from DynoFlight, we expect to continue to incur operating losses to a greater or lesser extent for at least the next 12 months, depending on the timing and success of these initiatives. To bridge the gap, we intend to rely on funds available from share issuances under the Share Purchase Agreement and amounts received upon an exercise of the Ionic Warrant (as defined below), if any, to meet our funding obligations. Additional funding under the Share Purchase Agreement may be limited contractually and the Ionic Warrant may not be exercised by the holder. Furthermore, issuances of additional shares of common stock under the Share Purchase Agreement or upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding and underlying the Ionic Warrant may negatively impact the Company’s stock price and ability to raise additional funds. We will likely require additional capital resources to grow our business. 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 management’s estimate. During that time the Company would plan to arrange new financing and to then resume expansion.

In applying the guidance of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its 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.
