On November 5, 2025, the Company completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 34,330,882 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price to the public of $34.00 per share, inclusive of the exercise in full by the underwriters to purchase from the Company 4,477,941 shares of Class A common stock. The Company received net proceeds from the IPO of approximately $1,103,327, after deducting approximately $63,922 in underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company’s Class A common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BETA.”
In connection with the IPO, all shares of the Company’s pre-IPO convertible preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”), including the acceleration of the related paid-in-kind (“PIK”) dividend, automatically converted into 147,806,862 shares of the Company’s pre-IPO common stock. In addition, the Company authorized a 6.3811681-for-1 forward stock split of the Company’s pre-IPO common stock and pre-IPO super voting common stock (the “Stock Split”) and the reclassification and exchange of the resulting stock into Class A common stock and Class B common stock.

- BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by Form 10-Q. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and change in equity for the periods presented. Results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Prospectus. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative United States generally accepted accounting principles as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”).
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. The Company expects to use the extended transition period for any other new or revised accounting standards during the period in which it remains an emerging growth company.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no other changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements and notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Prospectus that have had a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, other than those described below. Certain items in the prior year’s audited consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Deferred Offering Costs
The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional accounting, and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the equity financing, these costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the offering, either as a reduction of the carrying value of the Preferred Stock or in stockholders’ equity as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital generated as a result of the offering.

Loss on Issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock
As of the closings of Series C and Series C-1 Preferred Stock issued during the three months ended September 2025, the estimated fair value of the Preferred Stock ranged between $114.47 and $196.73 per share compared with the purchase price per share of $114.47. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash loss of $355,551 to other expense to account for the difference between the amount of aggregate purchase price and the fair value of the shares issued as of the date of issuance. The estimated fair value of the Preferred Stock was prepared using the hybrid method, with one or more scenarios using the option pricing model (the “OPM”) to allocate the equity value to respective share classes. The valuation was based on numerous valuation factors, including, but not limited to economic factors, industry trends, and likelihood of achieving a liquidity event. These are level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy and require significant judgment or estimation.
Collaboration Agreements
The Company assesses joint development arrangements to determine whether they are in the scope of ASC 808 – Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”). The Company evaluates whether such arrangements involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on commercial success of the activities. This assessment is performed throughout the life of such arrangement with consideration given to the changes in the roles and responsibilities between the parties.
On September 3, 2025, the Company entered into a Strategic Collaboration Agreement and Joint Technology Development Agreement (together, the “GE Collaboration Agreements”) with General Electric Company, operating as GE Aerospace (“GE Aerospace”) within the scope of ASC 808 to research, develop, manufacture, test, market, sell, field, and support propulsion technologies for hybrid-electric applications, including turbogenerators for future sales to the commercial civilian aircraft market and government customers. Both parties provide engineering personnel, technical expertise, commercial resources, and support to carry out commitments under the GE Collaboration Agreements and are exposed to significant risks as both parties are responsible for its own costs during the development period. Furthermore, both parties participate on a joint development committee that directs the parties’ collaboration across aspects of development. Costs BETA incurs in connection with the GE Collaboration Agreements are recorded within research and development expense.
In connection with the GE Collaboration Agreements, on September 26, 2025, the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,552,467 shares of Class A common stock to GE Aerospace at a pre-split exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “GE Warrants”). The GE Warrants are exercisable upon vesting, and vest subject to the satisfaction of certain milestones, with any shares that remain unvested on the third anniversary of September 3, 2025 vesting on such date if the Company and GE Aerospace are continuing to work together under the GE Collaboration Agreements (or similar arrangements) as of such date. The aggregate grant date fair value of the warrants was $67,236. The estimated fair value of the common stock was prepared using the hybrid method, with one or more scenarios using the OPM to allocate the equity value to the GE Warrants. The valuation was based on numerous valuation factors, including, but not limited to economic factors, industry trends, and likelihood of achieving a liquidity event. These are level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy and require significant judgment or estimation. The Company recorded research and development expense of $308 related to the GE Warrants as of September 30, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s Series B, Series C, and Series C-1 preferred stockholders were entitled to cumulative dividends based on their stated value. As such, the Company calculates its net loss attributable to common stockholders by adjusting its net loss for the aggregate cumulative dividends that had accrued since the original issuance dates in the period in which the preferred stockholders became legally entitled to such dividends.
The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include preferred stock, warrants and stock options, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect:

- SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company hasone operating and reportable segment – Development and Manufacturing Electric Aircrafts. The Company determined its reportable segment using the management approach based on how the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) evaluates the business. Substantially all Company’s fixed assets are located in the United States and all of the Company’s revenue is generated in the United States. The Company’s foreign operations consist of expenses associated with engineering and related supporting administrative services.
The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. As the Company has a single reportable segment and is managed on a consolidated basis, the measure of segment profit or loss is consolidated net loss as reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The CODM reviews the financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. The CODM does not use any segment asset measures to assess performance and decide how to allocate resources. The Company does not have intra-entity sales or transfers.
