Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 –ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. (“Oxbridge”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on April 12, 2021. Oxbridge was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock or share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Jet Token Inc. was formed on June 4, 2018 (“Inception”) in the State of Delaware and is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada.
On August 10, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Oxbridge consummated the business combination transaction (“Business Combination”) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with OXAC Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Oxbridge (“First Merger Sub”), Summerlin Aviation LLC (f/k/a OXAC Merger Sub II, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Oxbridge (“Second Merger Sub”), and Jet Token, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Jet Token”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between Oxbridge and Jet Token was effected through the merger of First Merger Sub and Jet Token, with Jet Token emerging as the surviving company, followed by a merger between Jet Token and Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub emerging as the surviving company as a wholly owned subsidiary of Oxbridge. In connection with the finalization of the Business Combination on August 10, 2023, Oxbridge filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which the Company was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) and immediately changed its name to Jet.AI, Inc. (“Jet.AI” or the “Company”). Following the Business Combination, the Company has one class of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “JTAI”. The Company also has two forms of publicly traded warrants, including its five-year redeemable warrants (the “Redeemable Warrants”) issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and its ten-year merger consideration warrants (the “Merger Consideration Warrants”) issued in connection with the Business Combination. The Redeemable Warrants and the Merger Consideration Warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “JTAIW” and “JTAIZ,” respectively.
Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Second Merger Sub and its subsidiaries, and the stockholders of Jet Token as of immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “Jet Token Stockholders”) hold a portion of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Jet.AI Common Stock”).
As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication: (a) each then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Share of Oxbridge was converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Jet.AI Common Stock; (b) each then issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Share of Oxbridge was converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Jet.AI Common Stock; (c) each then issued and outstanding Oxbridge Warrant was converted automatically into a warrant to purchase one share of Jet.AI Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant Agreement (“Jet.AI Warrant”); and (d) each then issued and outstanding Oxbridge Unit was converted automatically into a Jet.AI Unit, each consisting of one share of Jet.AI Common Stock and one Jet.AI Warrant.
At the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”), (i) each outstanding share of Jet Token Common Stock, including each share of Jet Token Preferred Stock that was converted into shares of Jet Token Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive (x) the number of shares of Jet.AI Common Stock equal to the Stock Exchange Ratio of 0.03094529, and (y) the number of “Merger Consideration Warrants” equal to the Warrant Exchange Ratio of 0.04924242; (ii) each Jet Token Option, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically converted into an option to purchase a number of Jet.AI Options based on the Option Exchange Ratio (determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and as further described in the Proxy Statement); (iii) each Jet Token Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically converted into a warrant to acquire (x) a number of shares of Jet.AI Common Stock equal to the Stock Exchange Ratio and (y) a number of Merger Consideration Warrants equal to the Warrant Exchange Ratio; and (iv) each Jet Token RSU Award that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into a Jet.AI RSU Award with respect to a number of RSUs based on the applicable exchange ratio as determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement.
The Company, directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries, is principally involved in (i) the sale of fractional and whole interests in aircraft, (ii) the sale of jet cards, which enable holders to use certain of the Company’s and other’s aircraft at agreed-upon rates, (iii) the operation of a proprietary booking platform (the “App”), which functions as a prospecting and quoting platform to arrange private jet travel with third party carriers as well as via the Company’s leased and managed aircraft, (iv) direct chartering of its HondaJet aircraft by Cirrus, (v) aircraft brokerage and (vi) service revenue from the monthly management and hourly operation of customer aircraft.
NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going Concern and Management Plans
The Company has limited operating history and has incurred losses from operations since Inception. These matters raise concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with capital from its operations, drawdowns under its Share Purchase Agreement with GEM Yield LLC SCS and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited, and proceeds from the exercise of warrants under its Securities Purchase Agreement with Ionic Ventures, LLC. Additionally, the Company may explore potential sources of outside capital. The Company also has the ability to reduce cash burn to preserve capital. There are no assurances, however, that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, the Company may be required to reduce the near-term scope of its planned development and operations, which could delay implementation of the Company’s business plan and harm its business, financial condition and operating results. The consolidated balance sheets do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements herein.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP, whereby Oxbridge is treated as the acquired company and Jet Token is treated as the acquirer (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Jet Token issuing stock for the net assets of Oxbridge, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Oxbridge were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
Jet Token was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on the following predominate factors:
| ● | Jet Token’s existing stockholders had the greatest voting interest in the combined entity; |
| ● | Jet Token existing stockholders had the ability to nominate a majority of the initial members of the combined entity’s board of directors; |
| ● | Jet Token’s senior management is the senior management of the combined entity |
| ● | Jet Token is the larger entity based on historical operating activity and has the larger employee base; and |
| ● | The post-combination company has assumed a Jet Token branded name: “Jet.AI Inc.” |
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jet.AI and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Summerlin Aviation LLC, Jet Token Software Inc., Jet Token Management Inc., Galilee LLC, Galilee 1 SPV LLC and Cloudrise Ltd. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization are those of Jet Token. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and losses per share, prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, have been retroactively restated based on shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company has a limited operating history, and to date, has only generated limited revenue from intended operations. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States (the “U.S.”) and worldwide along with local, state, and federal governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include but are not limited to: changes in the airline industry, fuel and operating costs, adverse macro-economic conditions, changes to corporate governance best practices for executive flying, general demand for private jet travel, regulations on carbon emissions from aviation and market acceptance of the Company’s business model. These adverse conditions could affect the Company’s financial condition and the consolidated results of its operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Included within cash and cash equivalents is restricted cash of $500,000 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs will be capitalized as deferred offering costs on the consolidated balance sheets. The deferred offering costs will be charged to stockholders’ deficit upon the completion of an offering or to expenses if the offering is not completed.
Other Current Assets
Other current assets include security deposits, which relate primarily to contractual prepayments to third-parties for future services, prepaid expenses and customer receivables for additional expenses incurred in their charter trips.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, property and equipment consisted entirely of equipment which is being depreciated over athree-year period.
Internal Use Software
The Company incurs software development costs to develop software programs to be used solely to meet its internal needs and cloud-based applications used to deliver its services. In accordance with ASC 350-40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software, the Company capitalizes development costs related to these software applications once a preliminary project stage is complete, funding has been committed, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has capitalized approximately $398,000 of internal software related costs, which is included in intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The software officially launched on December 31, 2020. Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $66,351, which is included in cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accumulated amortization as of June 30, 2024 was $464,452.
Investments in Joint Ventures
In January 2023, the Company formed a 50/50 joint venture subsidiary with Great Western Air LLC dba Cirrus Aviation Services, 380 Software LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Costs and profits are to be shared equally. The Company accounts for these investments using the equity method whereby the initial investment is recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted by the Company’s share of income or loss from the joint venture. There is currently no financial activity or material assets to report for this joint venture beyond this initial investment.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception on an individual contract basis. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, non-current on the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Operating lease right-of-use assets are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The interest rate implicit in each lease was readily determinable to discount lease payments.
The operating lease right-of-use assets include any lease payments made, including any variable amounts that are based on an index or rate, and exclude lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Renewal option periods are included within the lease term and the associated payments are recognized in the measurement of the operating right-of-use asset when they are at the Company’s discretion and considered reasonably certain of being exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has elected the practical expedient not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the short-term lease.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company follows ASC 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC 360-10 requires that if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets or asset groups may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability should be performed by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset’s carrying value to determine if a write-down to market value is required. Long-lived assets or asset groups that meet the criteria in ASC 360-10 as being held for sale are reflected at the lower of their carrying amount or fair market value, less costs to sell.
Revenue Recognition
In applying the guidance of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
| ● | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; |
| ● | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | Determination of the transaction price; |
| ● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| ● | Recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied. |
Revenue is derived from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, (i) fractional/whole aircraft sales, (ii) fractional ownership and jet card programs, (iii) ad hoc charter through the Company’s and (iv) aircraft management.
Under the fractional ownership program, a customer purchases an ownership share in a jet which guarantees the customer access to the jet for a preset number of hours per year. The fractional ownership program consists of a down payment, one or more progress payments, a payment on delivery, a Monthly Management Fee (MMF) and an Occupied Hourly Fee (OHF). Revenues from the sale of fractional or whole interests in an aircraft are recognized at the time title to the aircraft is transferred to the purchasers, which generally occurs upon delivery or ownership transfer.
The jet card program provides the customer with a preset number of hours of guaranteed private jet access over the agreement term (generally a year) without the larger hourly or capital commitment of purchasing an ownership share. The jet card program consists of a fixed hourly rate for flight hours typically paid 100% up front.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the Company’s promised services, which generally occurs upon the flight hours being used. Any unused hours for the fractional jet and jet card programs are forfeited at the end of the contract term and are thus immediately recognized as revenue at that time.
Deferred revenue is an obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has already received consideration. Upon receipt of a prepayment from a customer for all or a portion of the transaction price, the Company initially recognizes a contract liability. The contract liability is settled, and revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation to the customer at a future date. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company deferred $1,027,166 and $1,510,976, respectively, related to prepaid flight hours under the jet card program for which the related travel had not yet occurred.
The Company also generates revenues from individual ad hoc charter bookings processed through the Company’s App, whereby the Company sources, negotiates, and arranges travel on a charter basis for a customer based on pre-selected options and pricing provided by the Company to the customer through the App. In addition, Cirrus Aviation markets charters on the Company’s aircraft for the Company’s benefit. Deferred revenue with respect to the App was $56,067 and $268,818 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The Company utilizes certificated independent third-party air carriers in the performance of a portion of flights. The Company evaluates whether there is a promise to transfer services to the customer, as the principal, or to arrange for services to be provided by another party, as the agent, using a control model. The nature of the flight services the Company provides to members is similar regardless of which third-party air carrier is involved. The Company directs third-party air carriers to provide an aircraft to a member or customer. Based on evaluation of the control model, it was determined that the Company acts as the principal rather than the agent within all revenue arrangements. Owner charter revenue is recognized for flights where the owner of a managed aircraft sets the price for the trip. The Company records owner charter revenue at the time of flight on a net basis for the margin we receive to operate the aircraft. If the Company has primary responsibility to fulfill the obligation, then the revenue and the associated costs are reported on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred revenue with respect to the management of aircraft was $16,233 and $0 as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The following is a breakout of revenue components by subcategory for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
| Three Months Ended · Six Months Ended | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 30, | June 30, | |||
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Software App and Cirrus Charter | $1,610,899 | $1,558,697 | $3,981,990 | $2,552,950 |
| Jet Card and Fractional Programs | 558,560 | 811,140 | 1,235,880 | 1,358,685 |
| Management and Other Services | 914,425 | 422,971 | 1,714,612 | 756,681 |
| Total revenues | $3,083,884 | $2,792,808 | $6,932,482 | $4,668,316 |
Flights
Flights and flight-related services, along with the related costs of the flights, are earned and recognized as revenue at the point in time in which the service is provided. For round-trip flights, revenue is recognized upon arrival at the destination for each flight segment.
Fractional and jet card members pay a fixed quoted amount for flights based on a contractual capped hourly rate. Ad hoc charter customers primarily pay a fixed rate for flights. In addition, flight costs are paid by members through the purchase of dollar-denominated prepaid blocks of flight hours (“Prepaid Blocks”), and other incidental costs such as catering and ground transportation are billed monthly as incurred. Prepaid Blocks are deferred and recognized as revenue when the member completes a flight segment.
Aircraft Management
The Company manages aircraft for owners in exchange for a contractual fee. Revenue associated with the management of aircraft also includes the recovery of owner-incurred expenses including maintenance coordination, cabin crew and pilots, as well as recharging of certain incurred aircraft operating costs and expenses such as maintenance, fuel, landing fees, parking and other related operating costs. The Company passes the recovery and recharge costs back to owners at either cost or a predetermined margin.
Aircraft management-related revenue contains two types of performance obligations. One performance obligation is to provide management services over the contract period. Revenue earned from management services is recognized over the contractual term, on a monthly basis. The second performance obligation is the cost to operate and maintain the aircraft, which is recognized as revenue at the point in time such services are completed.
Aircraft Sales
The Company acquires aircraft from vendors and various other third-party sellers in the private aviation industry. The Company classifies the purchase as aircraft inventory on the consolidated balance sheets. Aircraft inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Sales are recorded on a gross basis within revenues and cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded aircraft sales of $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Pass-Through Costs
In applying the guidance of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are distinct performance obligations. The Company then assesses whether it is acting as an agent or a principal for each identified performance obligation and includes revenue within the transaction price for third-party costs when the Company determines that it is acting as the principal.
Cost of Sales
The cost of sales expenses includes costs incurred in providing air transportation services, such as chartering third-party aircraft, aircraft lease expenses, pilot training and wages, aircraft fuel, aircraft maintenance, and other aircraft operating expenses, each of which is discussed below.
| 1. | Chartering Third-Party Aircraft: The cost of chartering third-party aircraft is recorded as a part of the cost of sales expense. These expenses include the fees paid to third-party operators for providing aircraft services on behalf of the company. Expenses are recognized in the income statement in the period when the service is rendered and are reported on an accrual basis. |
| 2. | Aircraft Lease Expenses: Aircraft lease expenses include the cost of leasing aircraft for the company’s operations. The lease expenses are recognized as an operating expense in the income statement over the lease term on a straight-line basis. |
| 3. | Pilot Training and Wages: Pilot training costs are expensed as incurred and are included in the cost of sales expenses. This encompasses expenses related to initial pilot training, recurrent training, and any additional required training programs. Pilot wages, including salaries, bonuses, and benefits, are also recognized as a part of the cost of sales expenses and are reported on an accrual basis. |
| 4. | Aircraft Fuel: The cost of aircraft fuel is recognized as an expense in the cost of sales category based on the actual consumption during flight operations. Fuel costs are recorded in the income statement in the period when the fuel is consumed and are reported on an accrual basis. |
| 5. | Aircraft Maintenance: Aircraft maintenance expenses include both routine and non-routine maintenance. Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a part of the cost of sales expense. Non-routine maintenance expenses, such as major repairs and overhauls, are capitalized and amortized over their expected useful life. The amortization expense is included in the cost of sales expense and is recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life. |
| 6. | Other Aircraft Operating Expenses: Other aircraft operating expenses include costs such as insurance, landing fees, navigation charges, and catering services. These expenses are recognized in the income statement as a part of the cost of sales expenses in the period when they are incurred and are reported on an accrual basis. |
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promoting the Company’s services as incurred. Such amounts are included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $549,070 and $223,708 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Research and Development
The Company incurs research and development costs during the process of researching and developing its technologies and future offerings. The Company’s research and development costs consist primarily of payments for third-party software development that is not capitalizable. The Company expenses these costs as incurred until the resulting product has been completed, tested, and made ready for commercial use.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period or over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services. The fair value of each stock option or warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
Income Taxes
The Company applies ASC 740 Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts at each period end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain position is recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on its technical merit.
The Company is subject to tax in the United States and files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and Nevada state jurisdiction. The Company is subject to potential U.S. Federal, state, and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for all periods since Inception. The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority.
Loss per Common Share
The Company presents basic loss per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed as net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For periods in which the Company incurs a net loss, the effects of potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive and would be excluded from the diluted EPS calculations. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were 3,659,015 and 3,284,488 options,25,221,406 and 0 warrants to purchase common stock, and 1,807,229 and 0 common shares issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, excluded.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash with several major U.S. financial institutions which it believes to be creditworthy. Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, however the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits.
Segment Reporting
The Company identifies operating segments as components of the Company for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), or decision-making group, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The CODM is the Company’s chief executive officer. The Company determined that the Company operates in a single operating and reportable segment, private aviation services, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue, for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance. All of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the U.S. and revenue from private aviation services is substantially earned from flights throughout the U.S.
NOTE 3 –OTHER ASSETS
Other assets consisted of the following:
| June 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Deposits | $108,461 | $108,361 |
| Lease Maintenance Reserve | 689,750 | 689,750 |

NOTE 4 –NOTES PAYABLE
Bridge Agreement
On September 11, 2023, the Company entered into a binding term sheet (the “Bridge Agreement”) with eight investors whereby the investors purchased senior secured promissory notes (the “Bridge Notes”) from the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $625,000, which included $281,250 from related parties. The Bridge Agreement was entered into with, and funding was provided by, (i) Michael Winston, the Executive Chairman of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and the Interim Chief Executive Officer, (ii) Wrendon Timothy, a member of the Board and all three committees of the Board, (iii) William Yankus, a member of the Board and two of its Committees, and (iv) Oxbridge RE Holdings Limited, a significant stockholder of the Company for which Mr. Timothy serves as a director and officer, as well as the four other investors named in the Bridge Agreement.
The Company received net proceeds from the sale of the Bridge Notes of $500,000, resulting in an original issue discount of $112,500. The notes bear interest at five percent (5%) per annum and matured on March 11, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company recognized a debt discount of $168,250 from the Bridge Notes, of which $80,761 was amortized during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Interest expense was $79,314 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
These notes and accrued interest payable were fully repaid during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
NOTE 5 –COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Lease
In November 2021, the Company entered into a leasing arrangement with a third party for an aircraft to be used in the Company’s operations. The lease term is for 60 months, expiring November 2026, and requires monthly lease payments. At any time during the lease term, the Company has the option to purchase the aircraft from the lessor at the aircraft’s fair market value at that time.
The lease agreement also requires the Company to hold a liquidity reserve of $500,000 in a separate bank account as well as a maintenance reserve of approximately $690,000 for the duration of the lease term. The liquidity reserve is held in a bank account owned by the Company. As such, this is classified as restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The maintenance reserve are funds held by the lessor to be used for reasonable maintenance expenses in excess of those covered by the airframe and engine maintenance programs maintained by the Company. These maintenance programs are designed to fully cover the Company’s aircraft’s maintenance costs, both scheduled and unscheduled, and therefore the Company does not expect these funds will be drawn upon. If funds from the maintenance reserve are expended by the lessor, the Company is required to replenish the maintenance reserve account up to the required reserve amount. Any funds remaining at the end of the Lease term will be returned to the Company. The maintenance reserve is included within deposits and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In connection with this leasing arrangement, the Company agreed to pay an arrangement fee of $70,500 to a separate third party.
Total lease expense for the six months ended June 20, 2024 and 2023 was $701,550 and $550,634, respectively, which is included within cost of revenues in the accompanying statements of operations.

GEM Share Purchase Agreement
Jet Token executed a Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2022, with GEM Yield LLC SCS and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (together with GEM Yield LLC SCS, “GEM”), which was automatically assumed by the Company when the Business Combination was effected. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company has the right to periodically issue and sell to GEM, and GEM has agreed to purchase, up to $40,000,000 aggregate value of shares of the Company’s common stock during the 36-month period following the date of listing.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 3,200,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the agreement for total consideration of $1.7 million.
In consideration for these services, the Company has agreed to pay GEM a commitment fee equal to $800,000 payable in cash or freely tradable shares of the Company’s common stock, payable on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of listing. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to GEM a warrant (the “GEM Warrant”) granting it the right to purchase up to 2,179,447 shares of common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis. The GEM Warrant was issued with an exercise price of $8.60 and a term ofthree years. The exercise price is subject to certain adjustments based on equity issuances by the Company, and as a result of the Series B Preferred Stock financing transaction discussed in Note 6, the warrant exercise price was reduced to $5.81 per share as of June 30, 2024.
On August 4, 2022, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with GEM, obligating the Company to file a registration statement with respect to resales of the shares of common stock issuable to GEM under the Share Purchase Agreement and upon exercise of the GEM Warrant. Because such registration statement was not declared effective by October 23, 2023 (the “Effectiveness Deadline”), the Company must pay GEM an amount equal to $10,000 for each day following the Effectiveness Deadline until the registration statement has been declared effective. The fee payable under the GEM Registration Rights Agreement will not exceed $300,000 if such delay in the declaration of effectiveness of the registration statement is caused by delays in SEC review of the registration statement or the SEC’s refusal to declare the registration statement effective. The Company has accrued $300,000 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 with respect to this agreement.
On October 23, 2023, the Company entered into a warrant amendment agreement retroactively effective as of August 10, 2023 (the “GEM Warrant Amendment”). The GEM Warrant Amendment provides that GEM can elect to limit the exercisability of the “GEM Warrant” to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, such that it is not exercisable to the extent that, after giving effect to the exercise, GEM and its affiliates, to the Company’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. On October 23, 2023, GEM provided a notice to the Company electing to have this limit apply to the GEM Warrant effective as of August 10, 2023. GEM may revoke this election notice by providing written notice to the Company of such revocation, which revocation would not be effective until 61 days after such notice is delivered to the Company.
Forward Purchase Agreement
On August 6, 2023, Oxbridge entered into an agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with (i) Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“MCP”), (ii) Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“MSTO”), and (iii) Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (“MSC” and, collectively with MCP and MSTO, “Seller”) for OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transactions. For purposes of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Oxbridge is referred to as the “Counterparty” prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, while Jet.AI is referred to as the “Counterparty” after the consummation of the Business Combination. Capitalized terms used in this description but not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Forward Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Seller intended, but was not obligated, to purchase up to 1,186,952 (the “Purchased Amount”) Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Oxbridge (“Oxbridge Shares”) concurrently with the Closing pursuant to the Seller’s FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement (as defined below), less the number of Oxbridge Shares purchased by the Seller separately from third parties through a broker in the open market (“Recycled Shares”). No Seller was required to purchase an amount of Oxbridge Shares such that following such purchase, that Seller’s ownership would exceed 9.9% of the total Oxbridge Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such purchase, unless the Seller, at its sole discretion, waived such 9.9% ownership limitation. The number of shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement is subject to reduction following a termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement with respect to such shares as described under “Optional Early Termination” in the Forward Purchase Agreement.
The Forward Purchase Agreement provided for a prepayment shortfall in an amount in U.S. dollars equal to $1,250,000 (the “Prepayment Shortfall”); provided that Seller shall pay one-half (1/2) of the Prepayment Shortfall to Counterparty on the Prepayment Date (which amount shall be netted from the Prepayment Amount) (the “Initial Shortfall”) and, at the request of Counterparty, the other one-half (1/2) of the Prepayment Shortfall (the “Future Shortfall”) on the date that the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective (the “Registration Statement Effective Date”), provided the VWAP Price is greater than $6.00 for any 45 trading days during the prior 90 consecutive trading day period and average daily trading value over such period equals at least four times the Future Shortfall. Seller in its sole discretion may sell Recycled Shares at any time following the Trade Date and at any sales price, without payment by Seller of any Early Termination Obligation until such time as the proceeds from such sales equal 100% of the Initial Shortfall and 100% of the Future Shortfall actually paid to Counterparty (as set forth under Shortfall Sales in the Forward Purchase Agreement) (such sales, “Shortfall Sales,” and such Shares, “Shortfall Sale Shares”). A sale of Shares is only (a) a “Shortfall Sale,” subject to the terms and conditions herein applicable to Shortfall Sale Shares, when a Shortfall Sale Notice is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, and (b) an Optional Early Termination, subject to the terms and conditions of the forward Purchase Agreement applicable to Terminated Shares, when an OET Notice is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, in each case the delivery of such notice in the sole discretion of the Seller (as further described in the “Optional Early Termination” and “Shortfall Sales” sections in the Forward Purchase Agreement).
The Forward Purchase Agreement provided that the Seller would be paid directly an aggregate cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to (x) the product of (i) the number of shares as set forth in a Pricing Date Notice and (ii) the redemption price per share as defined in Article 49.5 of Oxbridge’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, effective as of August 11, 2021, as amended from time to time (the “Initial Price”), less (y) the Prepayment Shortfall.
The Seller agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any Recycled Shares in connection with the Business Combination, as well as any redemption rights under Oxbridge’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would require redemption by Oxbridge. Such waiver reduced the number of Oxbridge Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, which may have altered the perception of the potential strength of the Business Combination.
The shares initially held by Seller consisted of 663,556 shares it purchased from third parties through a broker in open market transactions or by reversing previously submitted redemption requests and waived its redemption rights with respect to these shares. Furthermore, Seller purchased 247,756 “Additional Shares” directly from the Company for a per share price of $10.00 pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into on August 6, 2023 (the “FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement”). Of the shares it purchased,50,000 shares represented Share Consideration to Seller under the Forward Purchase Agreement and are not subject to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, meaning that Seller is free to sell such shares and retain all proceeds therefrom. Netting out the Share Consideration, the total “Number of Shares” initially subject to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement was 861,312, comprising 613,556 “Recycled Shares” and 247,756 Additional Shares. Following the Closing of the Business Combination, approximately $7.4 million remained in the trust account pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement. The Company paid Seller $6,805,651, representing amounts payable by us to Seller under the Forward Purchase Agreement, net of the aggregate purchase price of the total number of Additional Shares issued to Seller under the FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement; and Seller paid the Company one-half (1/2) of the Prepayment Shortfall, or $625,000.
On August 31, 2023 and October 2, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment and a second amendment, respectively (together, the “Amendments”) to the Forward Purchase Agreement.
The combined effect of the Amendments was to:
| ● | increase the total number of additional shares Seller purchased from the Company under an FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement to 548,127 shares of the Company’s common stock; |
| ● | provide payment to the Company of “Future Shortfall” amounts totaling $550,000 and reducing the Prepayment Shortfall to $1,175,000, all of which has been paid to the Company; |
| ● | increase the total share consideration to Seller to 275,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, |
| ● | reduce the remaining number of Recycled Shares to 296,518; |
| ● | increase the number of shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement to 994,645; and |
| ● | extend the “Valuation Date” to the two-year anniversary of the Closing of the Business Combination, or earlier at the discretion of Seller and upon notice to the Company. |
The Forward Purchase Agreement, as amended, provides for a cash settlement following the Valuation Date, at which time Seller is obligated to pay the Company an amount equal to the “Number of Shares” subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement (provided such Shares are registered for resale or freely transferrable pursuant to an exemption from registration) multiplied by a per share price reflecting the Company’s volume weighted average trading price over a number of days following the Valuation Date, subject to alternate calculations in certain circumstances. At settlement, the Company is obligated to pay Seller a settlement adjustment of $2.00 per share for the total Number of Shares, which is payable in cash, or in shares of the Company’s common stock if the settlement adjustment is greater than the settlement amount payable by Seller and provided that Seller’s ownership would not exceed 9.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Provided further, that is the settlement amounts less the settlement amount adjustment is a negative number and the Company has elected to pay the settlement amount adjustment in cash, then neither Meteora nor the Company shall be liable to the other party for any payment under the Forward Purchase Agreement. The Forward Purchase Agreement was determined to be a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument under ASC 480. The FPA does not include an obligation to issue warrants. As such, the FPA shares were classified as equity and net payments made to the Company were recorded to additional paid in capital as part of the recapitalization.
FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreements
On August 6, 2023, Oxbridge entered into a subscription agreement (the “FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement”*)*with Seller.
Pursuant to the FPA Funding PIPE Subscription Agreement, Seller agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and Oxbridge agreed to issue and sell to Seller, on the Closing Date, an aggregate of up to 1,186,952 Oxbridge Shares, less the Recycled Shares in connection with the Forward Purchase Agreement.
Maxim Settlement Agreement
On August 10, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (“Maxim Settlement Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC, the underwriter for the Company’s initial public offering (“Maxim”). Pursuant to the Maxim Settlement Agreement, the Company issued 270,000 shares of Jet.AI Common Stock to settle the payment obligations of the Company under the underwriting agreement dated on or about August 11, 2021, by and between the Company and Maxim, which shares of Jet.AI Common Stock are subject to a Registration Rights Agreement. The Company also issued 1,127 shares of 8% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock in an amount equal in value to $1,127,000 (the “Series A Preferred Shares”). The shares of Jet.AI Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares are subject to mandatory redemption on August 10, 2024, which will be automatically extended by an additional three-month period if the Company has not as of such date closed upon one or more equity financings that, in total, result in gross proceeds to the Company of $10.0 million or greater (which amount has not been achieved as of the date of this report). If the Company raises equity capital,15% of the net proceeds must be used to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares.
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.
Sponsor Settlement Agreement
On August 10, 2023, Jet Token, Oxbridge, and OAC Sponsor Ltd. (the “Sponsor”) entered into a settlement agreement (the “Sponsor Settlement Agreement”).

The shares of Jet.AI Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares are subject to mandatory redemption on August 10, 2024, which will be automatically extended by an additional three-month period if the Company has not as of such date closed upon one or more equity financings that, in total, result in gross proceeds to the Company of $10.0 million or greater (which amount has not been achieve as of the date of this report). If the Company raises equity capital,15% of the net proceeds must be used to redeem the Series A-1 Preferred Shares.

NOTE 6 –STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

As of June 30, 2024, there was an aggregate of 1,702 issued and outstanding shares of Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock and 150 issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
Upon the consummation of the Business Combination,4,523,167 shares of Jet.AI Common Stock and 7,196,375 Merger Consideration Warrants were issued to the Historical Rollover Shareholders in exchange for all outstanding shares of Jet Token Common Stock (including shares of Jet Token Preferred Stock converted in the Conversion).

In addition, in connection with the Business Combination, the Jet.AI Board adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan in order to facilitate the grant of equity awards to attract, retain and incentivize employees (including the named executive officers), independent contractors and directors of Jet.AI Inc. and its affiliates, which is essential to Jet.AI Inc.’s long term success.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Securities Purchase Agreement
On March 28, 2024 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Ionic Ventures, LLC (“Ionic”) for a private placement, which closed on March 29, 2024. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement the Company sold 150 shares of Series B (“Preferred Stock”), a warrant to purchase up to 1,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with an exercise price of $10,000 per share, and 250,000 shares of Jet.AI Common Stock for net proceeds of $1,345,025 after deducting offering costs of $155,000.
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into a number of shares of Jet.AI Common Stock, subject to certain limitations, including a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% (calculated in accordance with the rules promulgated under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), which can be adjusted to a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% upon 61 days prior written notice by Iconic. Prior to the approval by the Company’s stockholders of the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, shares of Series B Preferred Stock cannot be converted into shares of common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the number of shares of common stock to be issued would exceed 19.9% of the total number of shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
Subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph and provided there is an effective registration statement covering Ionic’s resale of the Jet.AI Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Jet.AI Common Stock on or prior to the tenth trading day after the issuance date of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series B Preferred Stock is calculated by dividing the conversion amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock by the then conversion price. The conversion amount is equal to the stated value of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which is $10,000, plus any additional amounts and late charges calculated in accordance with the Certificate of Designations. The conversion price is equal to 90% (or, in the case of a delisting, 80%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of Common Stock over a period beginning on the trading day after the Company delivers shares of common stock upon such conversion to Ionic and ending on the trading day on which the aggregate dollar trading volume of our common stock exceeds seven times the applicable conversion amount, subject to a five trading day minimum period for such calculation, and subject to certain adjustments.
If certain defined “triggering events” defined in the Certificate of Designations occur, such as a breach of the Ionic Registration Rights Agreement, suspension of trading, or the Company’s failure to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into common stock when a conversion right is exercised, then the Company may be required to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock for cash at 110% of the stated value.
In connection with the transactions under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”). Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company must pay Maxim a cash fee equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised under the Securities Purchase Agreement and reimburse Maxim, directly upon the initial closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement for all travel and other documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Maxim, including the reasonable fees, costs and disbursements of its legal counsel, in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $15,000. The Company paid Maxim a total of $120,000 out of the gross proceeds it received at closing. If the Company issues additional securities to Ionic as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company would be obligated to pay Maxim cash fees of up to $1,050,000.
