JET.AI, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Jet.AI Inc., formerly known as Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. (“Jet.AI” or the “Company”), was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on April 12, 2021. The Company 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 in the State of Delaware and is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada.
On August 10, 2023, the Company 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 the Company (“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 the Company (“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 the Company 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 the Company. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) and immediately changed its name to “Jet.AI Inc.”
Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company’s common stock was listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “JTAI” and Jet Token was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Jet Token issuing stock for the net assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The Company is now a holding company for several wholly owned subsidiaries, including Second Merger Sub.
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, proceeds from the exercise of warrants contemplated under the terms set forth in a term sheet entered into with Hexstone Capital LP (“Hexstone”) in February of 2025 (as further described in Item 2 of Part I of this Quarterly Report), and other sales of debt or equity securities. Additionally, the Company may explore other potential sources of outside capital. The Company could, if necessary, 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, or that the transactions contemplated by the term sheet with Hexstone will be consummated on the terms agreed to in principle, or at all. 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.
| 5 |
Basis of Presentation
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP, whereby the Company 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 the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company 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 former stockholders had the greatest voting interest in the combined entity; | |
| ● | Jet Token’s former stockholders had the ability to nominate a majority of the initial members of the combined entity Board; | |
| ● | 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 three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Reverse Stock Split
On November 12, 2024, the Company effected a reverse
common stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jet.AI Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Summerlin Aviation LLC, Jet Token Software Inc., Jet Token Management Inc., Galilee LLC, and Galilee 1 SPV LLC. 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.
| 6 |
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 has only recently begun generating revenue from operations. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in 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 private airline industry, fuel and operating costs, 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 $
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340 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’ equity 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.
| 7 |
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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, property and equipment consisted entirely of equipment which is being depreciated over a three-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, 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has capitalized approximately $
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.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit
losses with respect to its accounts receivable. In addition, also at each reporting date, this estimate is updated to reflect any changes
in credit risk since the receivable was initially recorded. Accounts receivable are evaluated individually for impairment. This estimate
is adjusted for management’s assessment of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and
any other factors deemed relevant by the Company. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable starting point in which
to calculate the expected allowance for credit losses. The Company writes off receivables when there is information that indicates the
debtor is facing significant financial difficulty and there is no possibility of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts
previously written off, they will be recognized in operations or an offset to credit loss expense in the year of recovery, in accordance
with the entity’s accounting policy election.
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.
| 8 |
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, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC 360 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 would 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 would be required. Long-lived assets or asset groups that meet the criteria in ASC 360 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 App 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 and an occupied hourly fee. 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the
Company deferred revenue $
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
$
| 9 |
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 $

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’s 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
| 10 |
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 statements of operations in the period when the service is rendered 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 $
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.
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 (“ASC 740”). 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 (“U.S.”) and files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and Nevada state jurisdiction. The Company is subject to 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.
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 three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were (i) and options, (iii) and warrants to purchase common stock, and (iii) and 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 $

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, or decision-making group, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer. The Company determined that the Company operates in a single operating and reportable segment, private aviation services, as the chief operating decision maker 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 requires disclosure of specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and requires additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The standard requires an annual disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Expense Disaggregation Disclosures.” ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure to disaggregate prescribed expenses within relevant statement of operations captions.

Pursuant to the Warrant, on the first anniversary following the Public Listing Date as defined in the GEM Warrant (the “Adjustment Date”), if all or any portion of the GEM Warrant remains unexercised and the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the trading days following the Adjustment Date was less than 90% of the then current exercise price of the warrant (the “Baseline Price”), then the exercise price of the unexercised Warrant Shares that remained exercisable pursuant to the Warrant would be adjusted to 110% of the Baseline Price.

On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into a Registration

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.

Certain of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this report, including information with respect to plans and strategy for Jet.AI’s business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in Jet.AI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 26, 2025, and factors identified in other subsequent reports filed with the SEC Jet.AI’s actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview
Jet.AI Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Jet.AI”, “Company”, “we” or “us”), was founded in 2018 by Michael Winston, its Executive Chairman. The Company, directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries, has been 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, 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 Elite aircraft by Cirrus, (v) aircraft brokerage and (vi) service revenue from the monthly management and hourly operation of customer aircraft.

Business Combination
On August 10, 2023, the Company, formerly known as Oxbridge Acquisition Corp., consummated a business combination pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of May 11, 2023 (the “Business Combination Agreement”) among the Company, OXAC Merger Sub I, Inc., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”), Summerlin Aviation LLC, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub”), and Jet Token Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Jet Token”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company redomiciled as a Delaware corporation and was immediately renamed “Jet.AI Inc.”, and promptly thereafter, (i) First Merger Sub merged with and into Jet Token, with Jet Token surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and (b) Jet Token merged with and into Second Merger Sub with Second Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (each merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”).
Following the Business Combination, the Company’s common stock was listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the ticker symbol “JTAI”.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP, whereby the Company 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 the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
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.
Potential Sale of Aviation Business Assets
On February 13, 2025, the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with flyExclusive, Inc. (“flyExclusive”), FlyX Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of flyExclusive (“Merger Sub”), and Jet.AI SpinCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“SpinCo”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) as a condition to closing on the Merger Agreement, the Company will distribute all of the shares of SpinCo, on a pro rata basis, to the Company’s stockholders (the “Distribution”), (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into SpinCo (the “Merger” and, together with the Distribution and all other transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”) with SpinCo surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of flyExclusive and (iii) as consideration for the Merger, the Company’s existing stockholders will have the right to receive shares of Class A common stock of flyExclusive. Additionally, the Company’s stockholders will continue to own and hold their existing shares of the Company’s common stock as of closing of the Merger.
In connection with executing the Merger Agreement, the Company, SpinCo, and flyExclusive entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will transfer the business, operations, services and activities of the Company’s fractional and jet card business to SpinCo and will no longer operate a fractional and jet card business (the “Separation”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Company will consummate the Distribution. As such, the Company will no longer operate a fractional or jet card business as of consummation of the Distribution. There will be no change expected to the Company’s board of directors or executive officers as a result of the Merger, Separation, Distribution, or other Transactions.
The Transactions are subject to shareholder approval and are expected to close during the second or third quarter of 2025.
After the Transactions Jet.AI will continue to operate and retain its software and intellectual property assets, but will cease to hold its aircraft fractional, jet card and management assets and expects to pursue additional business opportunities in the broader artificial intelligence (AI) and data-center enterprise sectors.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Revenues
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, totaled $3.5 million, a 9.7% decrease of $374,000 from $3.8 million for the same period in 2024. This revenue included $1.8 million from our software App and Cirrus Charter program, comprising $1.0 million from software-related services and $0.8 million from chartering our HondaJet aircraft through our operating partner, Cirrus; $1.3 million from aircraft management services; and $343,000 from Jet Card and fractional programs, reflecting hours flown and additional charges.

Software-related revenue from our proprietary booking platform declined to $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, a 39% decrease from $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to reduced marketing efforts, and an industry-wide decline in private jet travel demand.
Aircraft management service revenue increased to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2025, a 60% increase from $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2024, driven by a management agreement entered into in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the addition of a second managed aircraft starting in April 2024.
In the first quarter of 2025, we sold 20 prepaid flight hours under our Jet Card and fractional programs for $116,000 and recognized $343,000 in revenue, reflecting 52 flight hours flown or forfeited, plus additional charges for fuel cost adjustments and federal excise tax reimbursements. As of March 31, 2025, deferred revenue related to prepaid flight hours was $0.9 million, representing hours not yet flown or forfeited.
In the first quarter of 2024, we sold 55 prepaid flight hours for $333,000 and recognized $677,000 in revenue, reflecting 95 flight hours flown or forfeited, plus additional charges. Deferred revenue as of March 31, 2024, was $1.2 million.
The reduction in flight hours flown in the first quarter of 2025 reflects a challenging economic environment. Additionally, our revised pricing strategy, which bases Jet Card sales on HondaJet rates with an option to upgrade to the managed Cessna Citation CJ4, combined with efforts to increase Jet Card pricing, led to a 4.2% decrease in revenue per flight hour compared to the first quarter of 2024.
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 2025 and 2024:

| (2) | Deferred revenue at March 31, 2025 and 2024 also includes $355,025 and $187,811, respectively, with respect to customer prepayments associated with software app transactions and $16,233 and $0 with respect to customer prepayments associated with management and other services revenue. |
Revenue from direct chartering of our HondaJet Elite aircraft by Cirrus totaled $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, a 20.3% increase of $139,000 from the first quarter of 2024. The increased revenue was a direct result of increased charter activity, both ad hoc and by Cirrus.
| 24 |
Cost of revenues
Our cost of revenue is comprised of payments to Cirrus 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 HondaJet Elites were unavailable. The management of our aircraft by Cirrus covers all our aircraft operating costs regardless of whether the aircraft are used for program flight hours or charters and includes expenses such as fuel, pilot wages and training costs, aircraft insurance, maintenance and other flight operational expenses.
Due to fleet expansion and increased fixed and variable operating costs, payments to Cirrus for aircraft management and operations rose by $306,000 to $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2025 from $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. Aircraft lease expenses remained stable at $326,000. Third-party charter costs decreased by $0.6 million to $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, reflecting lower software-related revenue and reduced reliance on subcharters for Jet Card flights. Federal excise taxes and merchant fees associated with charter flights declined by $69,000 to $92,000 in the first quarter of 2025 from $161,000 in the prior-year period, driven by decreased software revenue.
Total costs to operate our five aircraft in the first quarter of 2025 were $2.8 million, compared to $2.6 million for four aircraft in the first quarter of 2024.
Gross loss
Gross loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $116,000, slightly improved from $124,000 in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting lower maintenance costs and pilot wages, as well as lower utilization of our HondaJet Elites, partially offset by stable fixed costs.
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2025 increased by $30,000 to $3.1 million from $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2024. This increase reflects a $106,000 rise in general and administrative expenses, a $76,000 increase in research and development expenses, but offset in part by a $152,000 decrease in sales and marketing expenses. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation of $0.6 million in 2025 and $1.2 million in 2024, general and administrative expenses rose by $755,000, primarily due to $282,000 in higher professional fees for accounting, legal, and Board of Directors services—largely related to financing activities and fees and costs incurred in connection with the potential transaction with flyExclusive—and a $414,000 increase in wages.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 34% to $294,000 in the first quarter of 2025 from $446,000 in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting reduced promotional activities for certain of our legacy services and programs.
Research and development expenses increased by $76,000 to $109,000 in the first quarter of 2025 from $33,000 in the first quarter of 2024, driven by enhanced development efforts for new software offerings.
Operating Loss
The operating loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $3.2 million, a $21,000 increase from $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. Excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, the operating loss increased by $663,000, primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses.
| 25 |
Other (Income) Expense
In the first quarter of 2025, we recorded $1,000 in other income, compared to $79,000 in other expense in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the absence of interest expense during the 2025 period related to the Bridge Agreement described in Note 4 to the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Net Loss to Common Stockholders
Net loss to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2025 was $3.2 million, an $89,000 improvement from $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the absence of $30,000 in cumulative preferred stock dividends accrued during the 2024 period following the redemption in the fourth quarter of 2024 of all of the then outstanding shares of Series A and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and the elimination of $79,000 in interest expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of March 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $12.2 million. Current assets exceeded current liabilities by $8.5 million, including $1.3 million in deferred revenue, which will be recognized as revenue upon the utilization or forfeiture of prepaid flight hours.
In the first quarter of 2025, we raised $11.0 million through the issuance of 1,100 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which was the primary factor causing our cash and cash equivalent assets and current assets as a whole to increase from December 31, 2024.
We have historically incurred negative cash flows from operations and significant operating losses, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $55.7 million as of March 31, 2025. We anticipate revenue and operating profit growth from strategic initiatives, including aircraft acquisitions, increased Jet Card pricing, enhanced charter activity through CharterGPT, Ava, and Reroute AI, and SaaS revenue from DynoFlight. However, we expect to incur operating losses for at least the next 12 months, depending on the success and timing of these initiatives. To fund operations, we plan to utilize funds from share issuances under the Share Purchase Agreement and potential sales of equity or debt securities. Contractual limitations may restrict additional funding under the Share Purchase Agreement, and further equity issuances may adversely affect our stock price and ability to raise capital. To support growth, we have executed a non-binding term sheet with Hexstone Capital LP (as further described below) for a proposed $50 million financing transaction, with economic terms similar to our existing $16.5 million arrangement with Ionic Ventures LLC. That term sheet reflects the parties’ agreement in principle on material deal terms, including the anticipated issuance of a newly created Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and related warrants, however, that transaction is subject to finalization, and then the execution and delivery of definitive agreements by the parties. There can be no assurance that such definitive agreements will be entered into or that the proposed transaction will be consummated. In the absence of external financing, we are prepared to reduce cash utilization by halting marketing, suspending software development, streamlining operations, and focusing on existing customers, enabling operations to continue for at least one year, during which we would seek new financing to resume expansion. Forward-looking statements regarding our financial condition and liquidity are subject to risks and uncertainties, as detailed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Ionic Transaction
General
On March 28, 2024, Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and a number of other transaction documents described below for a private placement with Ionic Ventures, LLC (“Ionic”), which closed on March 29, 2024, which we collectively refer to as the “Ionic Transaction.” Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Ionic (a) 150 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, (b) a warrant to purchase up to 1,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Ionic Warrant”), at an exercise price of $10,000 per share, and (c) 1,111 shares of the Company’s common stock.
At the initial closing the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 million, not including customary placement fees and reimbursement of certain payables to Maxim as placement agent and other expenses payable by the Company in connection with the Ionic Transaction. This amount excludes the proceeds from the exercise of the Ionic Warrant.

Series B Preferred Stock
On March 28, 2024, we filed a Certificate of Designation of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which provides for the issuance of up to 5,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”). The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to all other capital stock of the Company.
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock converts into a number of shares of our 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, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), which can be adjusted to a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% upon 61 days prior written notice by Ionic. From time to time Ionic may convert Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock which it may liquidate and thereafter receive additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to subsequent conversions of its Series B Preferred Stock. Although the beneficial ownership limitation imposes a legally binding limitation on the Selling Stockholder’s beneficial ownership at any point in time, it does not prohibit the Selling Stockholder from, over time, receiving shares of Common Stock upon separate conversions of its shares of Series B Preferred Stock that, in the aggregate and over a period of time, exceed the beneficial ownership limitation.
Subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph and provided there is an effective registration statement covering Ionic’s potential resale of common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of 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 the lower of (i) $2.50, or (ii) 90% (or, in the case of a delisting, 80%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock over a period beginning on the trading day after we deliver 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, then we may be required to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock for cash at 110% of the stated value.
Other Transaction Documents and Subsequent Agreements
The Ionic Warrant exercise price was initially set at $10,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment for certain events, such as a stock split, issuance of additional shares as a dividend or otherwise. As of the date of this Report, Ionic has fully exercised the Ionic Warrant for a total of 1,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $15.0 million.
At its annual meeting of stockholders, which took place on September 24, 2024, the Company sought stockholder approval for the potential issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the Ionic transaction in an amount that, upon issuance, could result in the issuance of shares of common stock in an amount in excess of 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at a price less than the “minimum price” as defined by and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). The Company’s stockholders approved such potential issuance at the annual meeting. The Securities Purchase Agreement obligates the Company to reserve no less than 200% of the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, using an alternate conversion method (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Company and Ionic initially agreed that the Required Reserve Amount was 200,000 shares of Common Stock. In order to meet that obligation, the Company sought stockholder approval to amend its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 200,000,000 at its annual meeting of stockholders. The Company received such approval on September 24, 2024.

Registration Statements
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-279385), which was originally filed with the SEC on May 13, 2024, and as amended (the “First Registration Statement”), that registered the offer and resale of 133,778 shares of common stock (as adjusted to reflect the subsequent reverse stock split) by Ionic and was declared effective by the SEC on July 24, 2024. On November 13, 2024, Ionic notified the Company that it had sold all shares of common stock that were registered under the First Registration Statement.
Since the number of shares of common stock available under the First Registration Statement was insufficient to cover all of the shares of common stock issuable to Ionic, we were required to file at least one additional registration statement. Accordingly, on November 13, 2024, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-283207) with the SEC (as amended, the “Second Registration Statement”), which registered the offer and resale of 600,000 shares of common stock by Ionic and was declared effective by the SEC on December 27, 2024. On February 20, 2025, Ionic notified the Company that it had sold all shares of common stock that were registered under the Second Registration Statement.
Since the number of shares of common stock available under the First Registration Statement and the Second Registration Statement were, in the aggregate, insufficient to cover all of the shares of common stock issuable to Ionic, we were required to file at least one additional registration statement. Accordingly, on January 24, 2025, we filed another Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-284504) with the SEC (as amended, the “Third Registration Statement”), to register an additional 1,270,000 shares of common stock for offer and resale by Ionic.
Conversions of Series B Preferred Stock; Warrant Exercises
Starting in October 2024, and through the date of this Report, Ionic has converted in full the 150 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued to it at the initial closing, the 50 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued to it in connection with the Letter Agreement, and 200 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued to it pursuant to partial exercises of the Ionic Warrant. Those conversions, in total, resulted in the issuance of 835,261 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split).
On October 28, 2024 Ionic partially exercised the Ionic Warrant, for 150 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, resulting in total proceeds to the Company of $1.5 million. Additionally, on November 14, 2024 Ionic partially exercised the Ionic Warrant, for 250 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, resulting in total proceeds to the Company of $2.5 million and on January 23, 2025 Ionic partially exercised the Ionic Warrant, for 250 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, resulting in total proceeds to the Company of $2.5 million. Finally, on February 27, 2025, Ionic exercised the remainder of the Ionic Warrant, for 850 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, resulting in total proceeds to the Company of $8.5 million.
Adjustment to Beneficial Ownership Limitation
On February 14, 2025, Ionic delivered a notice to the Company that it has elected to increase the beneficial ownership limitation to 9.99%. The adjusted beneficial ownership limitation took effect on April 16, 2025. All prior issuances were, and all issuances until April 16, 2025 will continue to be, subject to the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.
Share Purchase Agreement
The Company has access to an aggregate of up to $40 million from the 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”), less drawdowns of $2,550,024 to date. In consideration for GEM’s services under the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company paid GEM a commitment fee equal to $800,000 in shares of common stock. Upon the Company’s issuance of shares in connection with any drawdown purchase made by GEM, the Company was required to pay GEM a portion of such commitment fee in an amount equal to 2% of the amount purchased in such drawdown; provided that the full $800,000 commitment fee was due on or before the first anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination. In October 2024, the Company issued 58,447 shares of common stock to satisfy in full the outstanding commitment fee payable discussed in Note 5 and 44,225 shares of common stock under the Share Purchase Agreement with GEM for total consideration of $2.5 million.
| 28 |
GEM is not obligated to purchase shares under the Share Purchase Agreement if any purchase of shares would result in GEM and its affiliates beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, at the time of the proposed issuance, more than 9.99% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the date of such proposed issuance. GEM may waive the restriction under the Share Purchase Agreement by providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days’ notice that the Purchaser would like to waive the restriction with regard to any or all shares issuable pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement.
On August 10, 2023, the Company issued GEM a warrant (as subsequently amended, the “GEM Warrant”) granting it the right to purchase up to 6% of the outstanding common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis as of the date of listing. The GEM Warrant has a term of three years. The GEM Warrant included an adjustment mechanism, whereby the exercise price is subject to adjustment from time to time. Pursuant to the Warrant, on the first anniversary following the Public Listing Date as defined in the GEM Warrant (the “Adjustment Date”), if all or any portion of the GEM Warrant remains unexercised and the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days following the Adjustment Date is less than 90% of the then current exercise price of the warrant (the “Baseline Price”), then the exercise price of the unexercised Warrant Shares that remain exercisable pursuant to the Warrant shall be adjusted to 110% of the Baseline Price. Accordingly, the warrant exercise price was reduced to $9.07 per share as of March 31, 2025. The warrant may be exercised by payment of the per share amount in cash or through a cashless exercise.
The GEM Warrant provides that GEM can elect to limit the exercisability of the GEM Warrant 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. GEM has made this election, which makes funds available under the Share Purchase Agreement in excess of this 4.99% ownership limit up to the 9.99% ownership restriction in the Share Purchase Agreement. GEM may revoke this election by providing written notice, which revocation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day thereafter.
Term Sheet for Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
In February 2025, the Company entered into a non-binding term sheet (the “Series C Term Sheet”) with Hexstone Capital LP (“Hexstone”) setting forth the material terms for a proposed private placement, which has not yet closed as of the date of this Quarterly Report and is pending finalization, and then execution and delivery of definitive agreements between the parties. Pursuant to the Series C Term Sheet, the Company agreed in principle to issue warrants to purchase up to 5,000 shares of a to be designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”), and 100,000 shares of Common Stock for no additional consideration. The warrants are contemplated to have an exercise price of $10,000 and expire two years from issuance.
Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is expected to be convertible into shares of 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 limitations would be to certain potential adjustments. Prior to the approval by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, shares of Series C Preferred Stock would not be convertible into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of a given 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. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series C Preferred Stock is expected to be calculated by dividing the conversion amount per share of Series C Preferred Stock by the conversion price. The conversion amount would be equal to the stated value of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, $10,000, plus any additional amounts and late charges calculated in accordance with the proposed Certificate of Designations. The conversion price is anticipated to be equal to 95% (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 Hexstone 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 proposed Certificate of Designations occur, such as a breach of the contemplated Hexstone Registration Rights Agreement, suspension of trading, or the Company’s failure to convert the Series C Preferred Stock into Common Stock when a conversion right is exercised, then the Company may be required to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock for cash at 110% of the stated value.
There can be no assurance that the Company and Hexstone will enter into definitive agreements on the terms described in the Series C Term Sheet or at all. The terms described above are subject to change pending finalization of definitive agreements amongst the parties.
Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
As of March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $12,245,419, including $500,000 of restricted cash related to aircraft leasing arrangements.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
| For the three months ended March 31, | ||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (2,180,208 | ) | $ | (2,520,790 | ) | ||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (1,177,000 | ) | (12,922 | ) | ||||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 9,730,000 | 1,028,724 | ||||||
| Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 6,372,792 | $ | (1,504,988 | ) | |||
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of 2025 was $2.2 million, a decrease from $2.5 million net cash used in the first quarter of 2024. The 2025 cash outflow primarily resulted from a net loss, adjusted for $685,000 in non-cash charges, a $246,000 increase in accounts receivable and other current assets, and a $130,000 reduction in lease liabilities, partially offset by a $550,000 increase in operating liabilities. The increase in operating liabilities was driven by a $717,000 rise in accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to aircraft operations, partially offset by a $37,000 decrease in deferred Jet Card revenue and a $130,000 reduction in operating lease liabilities.
| 29 |
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of 2025 was $1.2 million, compared to $13,000 in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to $1.1 million in aircraft deposits paid to Textron and $77,000 in net charter deposits. In addition to the $1.1 million in aircraft deposits paid to Textron during the first quarter of 2025, the Company will be required to make additional deposits totaling $2.1 million during 2025, including $550,000 of which is due by May 15, 2025.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the first quarter of 2025 was $9.7 million, primarily from $11.0 million in proceeds from exercise of Series B Preferred Stock warrants, partially offset by $1.3 million in offering costs.
Aircraft Financing Arrangements
In November 2021 and April 2022, the Company entered into two separate five-year leasing arrangements for the acquisition of two of its HondaJet Elite aircraft. At any time during their term, the Company has the option to purchase either aircraft from the lessor at the aircraft’s fair market value at that time. The leasing arrangements also require the Company to hold a combined liquidity reserve of $500,000 in a separate bank account pledged as security to the lessor, which the Company records as restricted cash on its balance sheet, as well as a maintenance reserve of approximately $690,000 for each leased aircraft, which is held by the lessor in the event the lessor determines that the relevant aircraft is not being maintained in accordance with the lease requirements or to prevent deterioration of the aircraft. Events of default under the leasing arrangements include, among other things, failure to make the monthly payments (with a 10-day cure period), default on other indebtedness, breaches of covenants related to insurance and maintenance requirements, change of control or merger, insolvency and a material adverse change in the Company’s business, operations or financial condition. Please see Note 5 to the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 for a further description of these leasing arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Going Concern and Management Plans
The Company has limited operating history and has incurred losses from operations since its inception. These matters raise concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company began ramping up its revenue-generating activities during the second half of the year ended December 31, 2022 and those activities continued into 2025. During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with funds from its operations, and drawdowns under the Share Purchase Agreement, as well as proceeds from other financing arrangements. 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 for the Business Combination
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP, whereby the Company 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 the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
Jet Token has been determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on the following predominate factors:
| ● | Jet Token’s former stockholders had the greatest voting interest in the combined entity; | |
| ● | Jet Token’s former stockholders had the ability to nominate a majority of the initial members of the combined entity board; | |
| ● | 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.” |

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.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the fair value of options granted. Although considerable variability is likely to be inherent in these estimates, management believes that the amounts provided are reasonable.
Revenue Recognition
In applying the guidance of ASC 606, 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 Jet Token App (replaced by CharterGPT) 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 and an occupied hourly fee based on usage. 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.
The Company also generates revenues from individual ad hoc charter bookings processed through the Company’s booking app, whereby the Company will source, negotiate, and arrange 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 markets charter on the Company’s aircraft for the Company’s benefit.

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.
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 second-party sellers in the private aviation industry. The Company’s 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.
Pass-Through Costs
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 second-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 second-party aircraft, aircraft lease expenses, pilot training and wages, aircraft fuel, aircraft maintenance, and other aircraft operating expenses.
| 1. | Chartering Third-Party Aircraft: The cost of chartering second-party aircraft is recorded as a part of the cost of sales expense. These expenses include the fees paid to second-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. |
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.
Trend Information
The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along with local, state, federal and foreign governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond Jet.AI’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, 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 results of operations.
