Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $8.8 million, and cash of approximately $4.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had a net loss of approximately $35.6 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company used approximately $22.3 million of cash for operating activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold 998,447 shares of common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement at per share prices between approximately $10.02 and $337.36, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $22.2 million.

During May 2024, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC, pursuant to which the Company issued two secured promissory notes to Streeterville Capital, LLC in May 2024, resulting in aggregate cash proceeds to the Company of $2.0 million.

There can be no assurances that the Company will ever earn revenues sufficient to support its operations, or that it will ever be profitable. In order to continue its operations, the Company has supplemented the revenues it earned with proceeds from the sale of its equity securities and proceeds from loans.

The Company’s recurring losses and utilization of cash in its operations are indicators of going concern. However, the Company’s current liquidity position was favorably impacted by the cash raised under public offerings aggregating approximately $23.3 million subsequent to December 31, 2024, along with repaying and settling certain debt and other obligations during March 2025 (refer to Note 23). This, along with the Company’s ability to defer or eliminate certain operating expenses that are under its control and the revenues expected to be generated by the Industrial IoT segment lead the Company to believe it has the ability to mitigate such concerns for a period of at least one year from the date these financial statements are issued. 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates consist of:

● the valuation of stock-based compensation;

● the valuation of the Company’s common stock issued and assets acquired in transactions, including acquisitions;

● the valuation of equity securities;

● the valuation of convertible notes receivable;

● the valuation of warrant liabilities and assets;

● the valuation of convertible notes payable, at fair value;

● the valuation of loan conversion derivatives; and

● the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists primarily of demand deposit bank accounts, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity from date of purchase of three months or less, or that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, to be cash equivalents.

Credit Risk and Concentrations

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for credit losses.

The customers who account for 10% or more of the Company’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 or 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding receivable balance as of December 31, 2024 are presented as follows:

	Percentage of revenues			Percentage of accounts receivable
Customer	Year Ended December 31, 2024			As of December 31, 2024
A		23	%		31	%
B		11	%		**
C		14	%		22	%
D		13	%		**

** Represents less than 10% of the total for the respective period

The Company did not have revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company did not have outstanding trade receivables as of December 31, 2023.

The vendors who account for 10% or more of the Company’s purchases or 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding payable balance are presented as follows for the periods indicated:

	Percentage of purchases			Percentage of accounts payable
Vendor	Year Ended December 31, 2024			As of December 31, 2024
A		**			31	%
B		**			11	%
C		11	%		**

	Percentage of purchases			Percentage of accounts payable
Vendor	Year Ended December 31, 2023			As of December 31, 2023
A		38	%		62	%
B		**			23	%

** Represents less than 10% of the total for the respective period

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations” using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value is recorded as goodwill. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

Acquired In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”)

In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company recognizes IPR&D at fair value as of the acquisition date and subsequently accounts for it as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Once an IPR&D project has been completed, the useful life of the IPR&D asset is determined and amortized accordingly. If the IPR&D asset is abandoned, the remaining carrying value is written off. During fiscal year 2024, the Company acquired IPR&D through the XTI Merger.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Finite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of developed technology, patents, customer relationships, and trade names/trademarks. They are amortized ratably over a range of 5 to 15 years, which approximates customer attrition rate and technology obsolescence.

The Company tests goodwill for potential impairment at least annually, or more frequently if an event or other circumstance indicates that the Company may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the net assets of the reporting unit. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company bypasses the qualitative assessment, or if the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the Company performs a quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount.

The Company calculates the estimated fair value of a reporting unit using a weighting of the income and market approaches. For the income approach, the Company uses internally developed discounted cash flow models that include the following assumptions, among others: projections of revenues, expenses, and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends; expected future investments to grow new units; and estimated discount rates. For the market approach, the Company uses internal analyses based primarily on market comparables. The Company bases these assumptions on its historical data and experience, third party appraisals, industry projections, micro and macro general economic condition projections, and its expectations. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company estimated the fair value of a reporting unit with 100% weighting to the income approach.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, inclusive of its right-of-use assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company determined that its long-lived assets were impaired by $2.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company determined none of its long-lived assets were impaired.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. 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 with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods it transfers to a customer.

Hardware and Software Revenue Recognition

For sales of hardware and software products, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when they are shipped to the customer, at which control is deemed transferred to the customer, and has title of the product and holds the risks and rewards of ownership.

The Company leverages drop-ship arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouse. In such arrangements, the Company negotiates the sale price with the customer, pays the supplier directly for the product shipped, bears credit risk of collecting payment from its customers and is ultimately responsible for the acceptability of the product and ensuring that such product meets the standards and requirements of the customer. Accordingly, the Company concluded it is the principal in the transaction with the customer and records revenue on a gross basis. The Company receives fixed consideration for sales of hardware and software products. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 to 60 days from the receipt of a customer approved invoice. The Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the costs of obtaining a contract when they are incurred because the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is less than a year.

Software As A Service Revenue Recognition

With respect to sales of the Company’s maintenance, consulting and other service agreements, customers pay fixed monthly fees in exchange for the Company’s service. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied over time as the digital advertising and electronic services are provided continuously throughout the service period. The Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous access to its service.

Professional Services Revenue Recognition

The Company’s professional services include milestone, fixed fee and time and materials contracts. Professional services under milestone contracts are accounted for using the percentage of completion method. As soon as the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Contract costs are expensed as incurred. Contract costs include all amounts that relate directly to the specific contract, are attributable to contract activity, and are specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract.

Contract Balances

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied, principally within one year.

Customer Deposits

The Company periodically enters into aircraft reservation agreements that include a deposit placed by a potential customer. The deposits serve to prioritize orders when the TriFan 600 airplane becomes available for delivery. Customers making deposits are not obligated to purchase any airplanes until they execute a definitive purchase agreement. Customers may request return of their deposit any time up until the execution of a purchase agreement. The Company records such advance deposits as a liability and defers the related revenue recognition until delivery of an airplane occurs, if any.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s stock-based compensation relates to stock options granted to employees and non-employees. The Company recognizes the cost of share-based awards granted to employees and non-employees based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur, which may result in negative expense when forfeitures exceed the expense recorded within the period.

The Company recognizes expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally equal to the vesting period of the award.

The Company estimates the grant-date fair value of the stock option awards with service only vesting conditions using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizes inputs and assumptions which involve inherent uncertainties and generally require significant judgment. As a result, if factors or expected outcomes change and significantly different assumptions or estimates are used, the Company’s stock-based compensation could be materially different. Significant inputs and assumptions include:

● Fair value of Common Stock – As there was no public market for Legacy XTI’s common stock prior to the XTI Merger, the fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock-based awards on the grant-date has historically been determined by Legacy XTI’s Board of Directors with assistance of third-party valuation specialists. Legacy XTI’s Board of Directors exercised reasonable judgment and considered a number of objective and subjective factors to determine the best estimate of the fair market value, which included important developments in Legacy XTI’s operations, actual operating results, financial performance, external market conditions, equity market conditions of comparable public companies, and the lack of marketability of Legacy XTI’s common stock.

● Expected Term – The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and is determined using the simplified method (based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term).

● Expected Volatility – Because Legacy XTI was privately held prior to the XTI Merger and did not have an active trading market for its common stock, the expected volatility was estimated based on the average volatility for publicly traded companies that the Company considers to be comparable, over a period equal to the expected term of the stock option grants.

● Risk-Free Interest Rate – The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of option.

● Expected Dividend – The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and has no plans to pay dividends on its common stock. Therefore, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. The Company’s participating securities included the Company’s convertible preferred stock and preferred stock. Neither the holders of convertible preferred stock, preferred stock nor the holders of the Company’s common stock warrants have a contractual obligation to share in losses.

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss, as adjusted for any dividends on the preferred stock for the period, attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for outstanding shares that are subject to repurchase or outstanding shares that are contingently returnable by the holder. Contingently issuable shares, including shares that are issuable for little or no cash consideration, are considered outstanding common shares and included in net loss per share as of the date that all necessary conditions have been satisfied. Such shares include outstanding penny warrants and shares issuable to Xeriant Inc. (“Xeriant”) related to the joint venture arrangement that expired on May 31, 2023.

Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. For periods in which the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders, because potentially dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes

The Company records a provision for income taxes for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits for which future realization is uncertain. The Company does not recognize certain tax benefits from uncertain tax positions within the provision for income taxes. The Company may recognize a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. See Note 21 Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding income taxes.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates. The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Revenues and expenses for these subsidiaries are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Gains and losses from these translations are recognized in cumulative translation adjustment included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in Stockholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company remeasures monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Gains and losses from these remeasurements are recognized in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Foreign exchange gains (losses) were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Segments

The Company and its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), acting as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) determined its operating segments in accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). The Company is organized and operates as two reporting segments based on similar economic characteristics, the nature of products and production processes, end-use markets, channels of distribution, and regulatory environments.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

In July 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-03, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which updates codification on how an entity would apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3 to determine whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. The effective date of this update is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2023-03 as of January 1, 2024. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The new standard requires a company to disclose incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis, including significant segment expenses and measures of profit or loss that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2024 and interim periods within fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2024 on a retrospective basis. Refer to Note 15 for further information.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This update requires entities to disaggregate operating expenses into specific categories, such as salaries and wages, depreciation, and amortization, to provide enhanced transparency into the nature and function of expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-03 may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its financial statement presentation and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new standard requires a company to expand its existing income tax disclosures, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt the new standard. The new standard is expected to be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its financial statements and related disclosures.
