DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Background

 

XTI is an early-stage aircraft manufacturer that is creating a revolutionary solution for the business aviation industry. Based in Denver, Colorado, the company’s mission is to develop innovative solutions to universal business aviation problems by enabling true point-to-point air travel over long distances.

 

Almost 84% of organizations that use business aircraft identify reducing total trip times or reaching remote locations not served by scheduled airlines as primary reasons for using business aircraft – both dominant features of the TriFan 600.

 

Our vertical takeoff airplane has unique advantages over existing private airplanes which still require time-consuming trips to and from a limited number of airports, and over helicopters which fly at much slower speeds, significantly shorter distances, and in less comfort than typical business jets. We are rethinking how people travel by developing an aircraft that combines a helicopter’s ability to take off and land from almost anywhere, with the speed and range of a private jet. The TriFan 600 will offer true point-to-point travel over longer distances – greatly reducing total travel time by departing from or arriving into locations that are much closer to the customer’s point of departure and/or destination, including remote locations – almost eliminating time spent driving to and from an airport, with the potential of adding back hours to those whose time is valued by the number of meetings or destinations they can reach in a single day.

 

TriFan 600

 

The latest aircraft technology and materials have become available commercially and have advanced tremendously over the past 55 years, including advances in turboshaft engines, which make them lighter, more powerful, more reliable, and more fuel efficient, as well as advanced composite structures making aircraft lighter, and digital computer technology which greatly improves controllability. These advances, combined with the TriFan’s unique hybrid-electric propulsion system, which takes full advantage of advances in battery and electric motor technologies, and the 21st century innovation of XTI, have resulted in a fixed- wing ducted fan VTOL aircraft that the Company believes will be fully functional and practical, with competitive speed, range, and comfort for a pilot plus five passengers, and a substantial payload capability.

 

In designing the TriFan 600, we identified certain goals and guidelines for the performance and capabilities for the airplane, including:

 

  Begin with a proven fixed-wing airplane configuration (not a rotorcraft platform), and develop ducted fan technology for vertical take-off and landing, because: (a) ducted fans are safer and more compact than helicopter rotors, (b) the aircraft will be able to achieve the speed, range, comfort, and the other advantages of a fixed-wing aircraft; and (c) fixed-wing aircraft are safer and easier to operate than conventional rotorcraft.

 

  Use currently available components to create a hybrid-electric drive system that will result in business aircraft performance, low procurement cost, low operating cost.

 

  Create a sleek luxury aircraft which will seat six people, cruise at 350 miles per hour, and will have a range competitive with light turboprop fixed -wing business aircraft on one tank of fuel, and will out-perform any helicopter over distance.

 

  Minimize downwash from the fans so the aircraft can land and take off from existing helipads and driveways, and other paved surfaces.

 

  Design the aircraft with sufficient redundancy in the critical components to maximize safety and increase the likelihood of securing FAA certification.

 

  Incorporate the most advanced technology and materials available, including fly-by-wire, all-composite carbon-fiber airframe, computer-assisted take-off and landing, and the most advanced state- of-the-art pilot- friendly safety technologies available to maximize safety and to provide the ultimate flying experience for the pilot and passengers.

 

 - 1 - 

 

 

  Design the aircraft to achieve maximum balance, control, and safety during vertical takeoff and landing and during transition to and from VTOL, through the basic location and configuration of the lifting fans and by advanced computer- assisted avionics.

 

  Design the aircraft’s exterior and interior to be physically/aesthetically attractive and to provide maximum comfort, luxury and convenience to the passengers.

 

As a result of the advances in materials, computers, engines, batteries and other technologies over the past few decades, combined with our innovative team, we accomplished all of the above objectives in the conceptual design of the TriFan 600 and are now advancing these objectives in preliminary design engineering.

 

Engineering and Development to Date

 

XTI expects that the TriFan 600 will be a fully certified, high performance, civilian fixed-wing vertical takeoff airplane. We completed initial configuration and engineering analysis for the TriFan 600 in April 2014, and began initial hover tests in May 2019 of our 65% scale flying prototype. Progress has been affected by constraints on our resources. In the first quarter of 2017, we revised the propulsion system to become a hybrid-electric aircraft, with one smaller turbine engine combined with three generators, two electric motors in each of the three fans and battery power packs which will be charged by the turbine engine. We began construction of a flying, 65% scale proof of concept aircraft in 2018 which we tested throughout 2019 and will continue to test in 2020. We intend to fly a full scale proof of concept aircraft within two years of raising the first $25 million from the sale of securities. Following the full scale proof of concept, XTI will seek certification with the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), which we expect will take an additional 4-5 years to complete. If the company is able to secure FAA certification of the TriFan 600 and completion of all phases up to and including commercial production, we believe that this aircraft will be the first civil, FAA-certified vertical takeoff airplane in aviation history.

 

Management

 

XTI is guided by a leadership team with decades of experience, a deep well of expertise in fixed wing and vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, and a successful track record of bringing new aircraft to market. XTI has assembled a management team that includes aviation industry executives and professionals with decades of experience from the largest fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft companies in the world. Charlie Johnson, former president and COO of Cessna Aircraft Company, is the COO and an active director of the company. David Brody, former CEO and Chairman of AVX Aircraft Company, is Chairman of the board, president and secretary, and the founder of XTI. Robert LaBelle, former CEO of AgustaWestland North America, is CEO and a director of the company

 

The company believes that this management team knows what is required to finance, design, certify and launch a program of this magnitude. This management team brings to XTI decades of sound management experience developing and executing strategic business and aircraft development plans, and technical and financial expertise, in enterprises of various scales in both helicopter and airplane markets. In their roles at Cessna, AVX, AgustaWestland, and other companies over the past 30 years, they have each designed, led and championed several new aircraft concepts and programs. Mr. LaBelle and Mr. Johnson have managed and overseen over 25 FAA certifications during their careers at AgustaWestland and Cessna.

 

Technology

 

XTI is not developing new technology; rather, the TriFan 600 is an evolution in the application of existing technology. Our proprietary patented design and configuration primarily utilizes advanced technologies, components and systems which are widely in use throughout the civil aviation industry today. As a result, most of the underlying technology is well established and understood, which we expect will reduce the risk associated with manufacturing and certifying the TriFan 600.

 

Over 50 years ago, the US military funded the development of vertical takeoff and landing airplanes using rotating, ducted fans, much like the TriFan 600. These included the Bell X-22 and the Doak VZ-4, which had fixed wings. Both of these planes were capable of taking off vertically, transitioning to forward flight, and then transitioning to a hover before landing vertically. However, neither of these aircraft went into commercial production because the technology available at the time limited the performance capabilities of the aircraft, making them economically unviable and difficult to operate.

 

 - 2 - 

 

 

Over the past 50 years, aircraft technologies and materials have advanced significantly. Current engines are dramatically lighter, more fuel-efficient, and provide greater power performance than prior versions. Composite materials are available that allow aircraft structures to be much lighter and stronger than previously. And finally, advances in software technology allow airplanes to be controlled largely by computers, increasing controllability, reliability, and safety. All of these advanced technologies are widely used in today’s civil aviation market. By combining these technologies with our patented proprietary design in a unique and revolutionary configuration, we believe the TriFan 600 will be a commercially successful product for the business aviation market. In other words, the technology of today has caught up with the long-held idea or concept of a vertical takeoff airplane.

 

The Market

 

The business aviation market is a global market that focuses on high net worth individuals and companies as its primary customer base. These users place a significant premium on the value of their time and have demonstrated a willingness to pay for the time-saving features that private aviation can deliver. By avoiding long security lines at commercial airports and eliminating the need to arrive at least one hour prior to departure, often combined with the ability to utilize airports or landing strips that are closer to their ultimate destination, private aircraft users are able to dramatically reduce the total time of a trip. Business aircraft also offer individuals the flexibility to determine their own schedule and travel itinerary.

 

As a result of these time saving and convenience factors, high net worth individuals and businesses purchased an estimated 6,125 aircraft between 2004 and 2013, valued at over $161 billion according to JetNet iQ. This represents an average annual aircraft volume for light, medium and large private aircraft of approximately 612 aircraft deliveries and an annual market value of over $16 billion. JetNet iQ forecasted that this market will grow by roughly 3%-4% per year over the next twenty years.

 

XTI attended the National Business Aviation Association (“NBAA”) trade show in October 2017, and the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show in November 2017. As a result of those and other efforts, XTI has executed aircraft order agreements and taken deposits for the delivery of 81 aircraft. These existing aircraft orders represent roughly $526 million of future revenue potential and validate the demand for this revolutionary aircraft.

 

The deposits serve to prioritize orders when the aircraft becomes available for delivery. Customers making deposits are not obligated to purchase aircraft until they execute a definitive purchase agreement. Customers may request return of their deposit any time up until the execution of a purchase agreement. While these deposits represent the potential for roughly $526 million of future revenue, that revenue may not be earned for many years, or at all.

 

Total addressable market

 

We expect that existing owners of business aircraft will be the primary customer for the TriFan 600. While some individuals and businesses that do not currently own an aircraft will be interested in a TriFan 600, we have excluded these new owners from our analysis of the addressable market for conservatism. Among existing owners, a significant number own both airplanes and helicopters. We will focus our initial efforts on these dual owners because they have demonstrated a demand for both vertical lift capabilities and for the speed, range and comfort of a business jet. Because of the way aircraft are generally owned or titled, the number of aircraft owned by dual owners is not readily available at this time.

 

As reflected in the table below, there are currently over 61,000 business airplanes and helicopters in operation worldwide. North America accounts for more than half of the total existing market and annual aircraft deliveries in the world.

TriFan 600 addresses primary market driver of reducing total trip time

 

The industry’s leading trade organization, NBAA, often reports that decisions to utilize business aviation depend on a variety of factors, including the unavailability of commercial airline service, both at the site of origin and travel destinations; the number of sites to be visited in a single day; the requirement to move vital assets rapidly; and a host of other considerations focused on traveler time savings.(1) As illustrated in the table below, reducing total transportation time amounts to 84% of reasons for why business aircraft are used. Surveys conducted by other industry sources, such as Business Jet Traveler magazine, have similarly reported that the two most important reasons readers cite for why they choose to fly privately are to save time, and for service to destinations not served by airlines.

No traditional airplane or helicopter can fully serve the needs of executive travelers, because neither of them alone or in combination can fly its passengers directly from point A to point B with the same speed, range or operational flexibility as the TriFan 600. With TriFan 600, executive travelers will have the ability to bypass highways and runways, lifting up from any helipad or helipad-sized paved surface, and proceeding directly to their destination, they could potentially save hundreds of hours a year, achieve more, and avoid missing what’s important.

 

The TriFan 600 will help individuals and business executives reduce total travel time dramatically. The figure below shows how the TriFan 600 can save an executive nearly half his or her total trip time for a 500 nautical mile trip, even compared to a business jet, because of the TriFan 600’s ability to reduce or eliminate time wasted traveling to and from airports. We chose a 500 nautical mile trip as the comparison point because the average trip length for most flights in private aircraft is less than this distance, even if the aircraft is capable of going further without the need to stop to refuel.

Sample flight illustrating how TriFan 600 enables shorter trip times

 

Based on the company’s estimates, TriFan 600 will be able to deliver these impressive time savings while still being able to accomplish the vast majority of flight plans flown with private aviation. The table below shows the average flight length flown in private aircraft by class of aircraft. This data was provided by ARGUS International. This clearly illustrates that the TriFan 600 can provide the range capability that most users of private aviation require. While the TriFan 600 won’t be able to accomplish all missions conducted with private aviation, we believe that our ability to cover most requirements while also improving the convenience and time savings of customers will allow us to capture a meaningful share of the existing market of over 60,000 business aircraft.

Tri-Fan is priced competitively with what business aircraft owners are paying

 

Currently, the only way for individuals using business aircraft to get from one place to another in a shorter period of time is by flying in a faster aircraft. Generally, the larger the size of the aircraft, the faster it can travel, and the more expensive the aircraft. Business jet owners consistently pay millions of dollars more for increased speed (among other features). However, as shown in the figure above, more speed does not always equal more time. True time savings can only be achieved by taking off vertically like a helicopter, cruising at altitudes and speeds of airplanes, and landing vertically near a final destination.

 

 - 5 - 

 

 

The TriFan 600 design combines the best aspects of each platform (airplane and helicopter), enabling what the company believes will be a dramatic reduction in total trip time, at a price point that is competitive to market prices. Purchase prices for aircraft in this market can range up to $18 million, with a high correlation between speed and cost. There is a clear connection between the ability to save time through faster transportation and a willingness to pay more for this capability.

 

   Purchase Price Range
($MM)
 
Aircraft Type  Low   High 
Mid-Sized Jet  $12   $18 
Light Jet  $4   $11 
Turboprop  $2   $8 
Turbine Helicopter  $4   $10 
Piston Helicopter  $1   $4 
TriFan 600  $6   $8 

 

Achievable market share

 

It is difficult to compare the TriFan 600 directly to existing aircraft and historical sales levels of similar aircraft because there is no aircraft with the same performance capabilities as the TriFan 600. In order to estimate the number of aircraft we believe we can sell each year, we conducted a market analysis based on the TriFan 600’s performance characteristics relative to existing alternatives.

 

To conduct the analysis, we identified the likely objections that buyers of a particular type of aircraft would have when considering the purchase of a TriFan 600. We then estimated what percentage of those buyer segments would object to the TriFan 600 because of each of the considerations (i.e., those that would object because it could not seat enough passengers or because it could not fly a long enough distance, etc.). This resulted in a percentage of each buyer segment that would not object to the TriFan 600 relative to aircraft in that class, leaving the expected portion of each market that we could capture.

 

With the potential share for each market estimated, we then analyzed market forecast data from Teal Group, an industry leading market forecasting company. This data identified the number of units, by type of aircraft, which are expected to be sold over the next several years. Applying the market share of each aircraft type we expect to capture to the number of aircraft expected to be delivered in each category per year, we estimated that we can expect to sell between 85 – 95 aircraft each year. This analysis only considered sales to civilian users, and does not include military or commercial use forecasts.

 

After completing our internal analysis, our management team, board of directors, aviation marketing companies and other industry participants all reviewed those findings and provided input as to the reasonableness of the company’s conclusion or expectation of selling 85-95 TriFan 600 aircraft each year. Based on the totality of the data and those conversations, we feel that this estimate is achievable. However, for the purpose of creating our business plan, we have assumed a lower more conservative number of annual aircraft deliveries.

Production Plan and Suppliers

 

XTI intends to use a horizontally integrated manufacturing strategy whereby the company maintains control of all planning, design and final assembly aspects of the process, but outsources the manufacture of the vast majority of components (i.e., fuselage, engines, transmission, avionics, landing gear, etc.). XTI would only seek to design and manufacture a limited number of certain critical components, if any.

 

We intend to utilize the professional networks of our executive team, gained from decades of experience in the industry, to secure favorable supply agreements with leading manufactures. These suppliers will design and fabricate components to XTI’s design specifications for incorporation into a final product. The majority of these components will be largely off-the-shelf systems used in other aircraft, with only limited customization or design features that are specifically required for the TriFan 600.

 

Under this plan, the company intends to focus its efforts on the most critical components for our success, while enjoying cost savings from using specialists in areas that are not as critical or customized. This will also allow the company to choose between multiple suppliers, reducing any potential dependence on a small set of suppliers.

 

Research and Development

 

The company’s primary activity to date has been to conduct research and development associated with our core vertical takeoff and landing configuration for the TriFan 600. This includes the completion of our preliminary design, computational fluid dynamics, executing our patent and IP strategy, developing additional technical capabilities and analysis, and other R&D activities to determine the feasibility of our financial and technical aspects of our aircraft and program. In addition, in 2018 we began construction of our 65% scale proof of concept aircraft to test the hover and transition to forward flight capabilities of our design. We began initial test flights in 2019. To date, the company has expended over $3.0 million on engineering, marketing, legal, and a variety of other general and administrative costs.

 

Employees and Consultants

 

The company has used and continues to use a number of consultants during our history to limit our operating expenses and allow us to scale as necessary. Currently, the company has four full-time consultants and between 10-20 part-time consultants at any given time. It does not have any full time employees. The company intends to hire a number of employees after the Regulation A offering it is currently conducting (the “Offering”) primarily to support our engineering and development efforts.

 

Aviation Regulations

 

In the U.S., civil aviation is regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”), which controls virtually every aspect of flight from pilot licensing to aircraft design and construction. The FAA requires that every civilian aircraft that flies in the U.S. must carry a valid type certificate and airworthiness certificate issued by the FAA or a foreign civil aviation authority.

 

The company will seek to obtain approval for the design of the TriFan 600 by obtaining a standard Type Certificate under the Federal Aviation Regulations. The FAA will conduct extensive testing and analysis of the company’s TriFan 600 to determine the safety, stability, reliability and performance of the aircraft and that the aircraft complies with the applicable airworthiness standards for the TriFan 600’s category of airplane. If the TriFan 600 is approved by the FAA, XTI will be issued a type certificate for it.

 

The FAA also issues standard airworthiness certificates to each aircraft that is manufactured in accordance with an approved design or type certificate. Rather than test each aircraft that is built, the FAA allows manufacturers to prove that their manufacturing process and quality control system produces conforming aircraft each time. Only a company that owns a type certificate is entitled to this authorization, called a production certificate. If the FAA approves of XTI’s manufacturing process, the company will be issued a production certificate and each aircraft manufactured by XTI in accordance with the type certificate will receive an airworthiness certificate.

 

The process of obtaining a valid type certificate, production certificate and airworthiness certificate for the TriFan 600 will take several years. XTI is not permitted to deliver commercially produced aircraft to civilian customers until obtaining FAA certification, which effectively means that no significant revenue will be generated from civilian aircraft sales to fund operations until that time. Any delay in the certification process will negatively impact the company by requiring additional funds to be spent on the certification process and by delaying the company’s ability to sell aircraft.

 

 - 7 - 

 

 

In addition to the FAA, operation of the TriFan 600 will be regulated by various state, county and municipal agencies. Specifically, flight of the TriFan 600 will be regulated by the FAA, while the ability to take off and land will be governed by the FAA and various zoning restrictions imposed by non-federal agencies in each location where an owner of the TriFan 600 intends to operate. These restrictions will vary by location and may limit the TriFan 600 to landing in already zoned areas. However, there are currently over 5,000 helipads in the U.S. where helicopters are already allowed to land. So the company expects that the TriFan 600 will also be able to land legally and safely in these locations and at thousands of other paved areas or grassy areas, as long as it’s safe and legal, as well as smaller general aviation airports unavailable to jets. Unlike jet aircraft, the TriFan 600 is not limited by runway length, clear landing approaches, and the sophistication of the electronic landing aids that serve larger general aviation airports. The TriFan 600 is both VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) capable and STOL (short takeoff and landing capable). It will be able to take off and land from thousands of locations, thereby making the TriFan 600 much more versatile and able to use thousands of privately-owned locations in the U.S. and the world (driveways, lots, job sites, and other paved surfaces) that will not all be limited by local regulations. As a result, the company expects there will be sufficient locations for the TriFan 600 to take off and land.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We have sought to protect the intellectual property of the company through the use of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. Protection is supported by patent and copyright laws. Employee and third-party consultants have signed non-disclosure agreements with the company to further protect its proprietary rights. The company is continuing to develop intellectual property, and it intends to aggressively protect its position in key technologies. The company owns several trademarks protecting the company’s name and logo, as well as extensive data, engineering analyses, and other intellectual property.

 

The company’s patent and patent applications cover various embodiments of a vertical take-off and landing aircraft. In general terms, a “utility patent” protects the way an article is used and works, while a “design patent” protects the way an article looks. The company is seeking broad patent protection in both respects. We have been granted a design patent titled “VTOL aircraft”, also identifiable as publication number D741247. Also, US Patent 9,676,479 was issued on June 13, 2017. This utility patent covers the engineering and mechanical operation of the aircraft.

 

Furthermore, the company has filed several foreign patent applications where the aircraft will be sold and widely used. Legal counsel also filed a Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) application that claims priority back to the filing date for the provisional patent application. The PCT currently covers 141 countries that can be designated for protection, including a European and African patent. XTI patents have been issued in Japan,Europe and Canada. Patents are pending in Brazil and China.

 

David Brody, founder and Chairman of XTI, developed the TriFan 600 configuration and basic performance objectives, filed for the patents. Dr. Dennis Olcott, XTI’s former Senior Vice President for Engineering and Chief Engineer, is co-inventor on certain patent applications. Mr. Brody and Dr. Olcott have assigned all patents, patent applications and other intellectual property to XTI.

 

Litigation

 

The company settled a previous law suit, in which Answer Engineering LLC (“Answer”, partly owned by Dr. Olcott) filed a claim against the company in December 2017 alleging breach of contract for XTI’s failure to pay certain invoices, and in which XTI filed a counter claim against Answer for Answer’s breach of contract for its failure to perform various engineering services. The settlement resolved these matters and only requires XTI to pay amounts already accrued in the company’s financials. All payments were made in 2019 and this matter is now resolved.

 

Impact of COVID-19 on Operations

 

The COVID-19 outbreak has generated unprecedented levels of economic uncertainty and it is unclear how it will impact economies, standards of living, and behavior into the future. We anticipate global responses to COVID-19 may result in increased difficulty obtaining financing to continue with development and marketing efforts. Based on previous global recessions, our target market is most likely to maintain spending power as the economic effects of COVID-19 are fully felt. This may drive an increased interest in private aircraft as a means to avoid crowded airlines, providing increased opportunities for the company.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

 

General Information

 

The company was incorporated in October 2009. No operations occurred until the fourth quarter of 2012. Since then we have been engaged primarily in developing the design and engineering concepts for the TriFan 600 and seeking funds from investors to fund that development.

 

Operating Results

 

We have not yet generated any revenues and do not expect to do so until after receiving FAA certification for the TriFan 600. Such certification may not come until 2022 or later.

 

Since 2017, we have received $1,614,970 for a combination of deposits and convertible notes that represent orders for 81 aircraft under our Aircraft Reservation Deposit Agreement. These funds will not be recorded as revenue until the orders are delivered, which may not be for many years or at all if we do not deliver aircraft to those customers. The deposits serve to prioritize orders when the aircraft becomes available for delivery. Customers making deposits are not obligated to purchase aircraft until they execute a definitive purchase agreement. Customers may request return of their deposit any time up until the execution of a purchase agreement.

Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2018. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 was approximately 43% higher than operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018. The principal drivers of the increase in spending came from decreased spending on sales and marketing and conceptual design expense included within general and administrative expenses, offset by an increase in spending on stock compensation. For instance, conceptual design costs to advance development of the TriFan 600 were decreased from $764,944 to $254,579 (a decrease of approximately 67%). Sales and marketing expense decreased from $42,334 to $29,947 (a decrease of approximately 29%). General and administrative costs were increased from $1,713,100 to $3,327,621 (an increase of approximately 94%). This increase was the result of issuing more options to members of the executive management team as compensation for services in 2019 as compared to 2018. We continue to prioritize our conceptual design costs, and the people necessary to get us to the next phase of development of the TriFan 600.

 

Interest expense for this time period decreased from $1,237,028 to $300,851 as we continued to rely on loan financing from related parties (discussed below). Included in this amount is a non-cash interest expense of $1,080,631 and $34,140 in 2018 and 2019, respectively, associated with a beneficial conversion feature attached to a convertible note.

 

As a result, our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $3,912,998 as compared to a net loss of $3,798,753 for the period ended December 31, 2018, an increase of approximately 3%. Our accumulated deficit at December 31, 2019 was $13,013,647.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash of $4,726 and a working capital deficit of $2,756,502 as compared to cash of $556,847 and a working capital deficit of $1,794,032 at December 31, 2018. Additional current assets as of December 31, 2019 include $73,334 held in escrow from the sale of securities under the Regulation A Offering. The company has since received these funds.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we funded our operations primarily through the sale of Common Stock to investors under Regulation A. These sales accounted for net proceeds of $292,551. We also issued $110,000 in new notes, repaid $30,000 in notes and sold $5,000 of common stock securities outside of the Regulation A offering. We also repaid $36,122 in net borrowings under a revolving line of credit of up to $250,000 entered into between the company and our founder, Mr. Brody as of January 1, 2016. Borrowings under the credit revolver accrue interest at a rate of 3.0% per annum.

 

Included in the current liabilities are convertible notes issued to related parties. Of the $1,958,455 related party note liability, $763,176 is owed to David Brody. The convertible note has a principal amount of $763,176 and accrued interest at a rate of 3.0% per annum. The convertible note has different maturity dates contingent upon the company securing different levels of investment from third parties. Mr. Brody has the right to receive repayment of the note upon maturity in either cash or in shares of common stock of the company. The loan with Mr. Brody is included as Exhibit 6.9 to this annual report. The company also received loans from Jeffrey Pino, who has since passed away. The notes have a principal amount of $67,268 and bear interest at a rate of 3.0% per annum. The loans with Mr. Pino are included in Exhibits 6.10 and 6.11 to this annual report. The company also received a loan from Robert Denehy in exchange for a convertible promissory note. The convertible note has a principal amount of $500,000 and bears interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum. In October 2018, the principal and accrued interest on this note (totaling $550,000) plus an additional $165,000 of new cash were combined into a new convertible note with a principal balance of $715,000. The original convertible note with Mr. Denehy was cancelled as part of this new note. The remaining note bears interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum. The convertible note with Mr. Denehy is included in Exhibit 6.14 to this annual report and is more fully described below in “Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions.” The company also received a loan from Saleem Zaheer, a consultant and shareholder of the company, in exchange for a convertible note. The note has a principal amount of $30,000 and bears interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum. The loan with Mr. Zaheer is included in Exhibit 6.15 to this annual report. The company also received a loan from David Brody, a related party, in exchange for a promissory note. The note has a principal amount of $50,000 and bears interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum. The loan with Mr. Brody is included in Exhibit 6.19 to this annual report.

 

Currently, the company requires additional capital to continue operations. We are actively raising funds under Regulation CF on the StartEngine platform. As of the date of this report, we have received commitments for approximately $114,000. If we do not receive funding from private investors, our Regulation CF, or our Regulation A Offering, we anticipate that the company will run out of funding in the third quarter of 2020 based on our current cash balance and burn rate.

Plan of Operations

The company has developed a detailed plan to complete its preliminary design phase, hire key members of its management team, expand sales and marketing efforts and complete detailed design and development work to support the completion of a 65% scale and production of a full scale flying proof of concept aircraft. The 65% scale prototype is currently being tested. The full scale aircraft is expected to take approximately 2.0 years to produce and the company will require $25 million in total funding during this period. Once the full scale proof of concept has been completed and demonstrated, the company will seek FAA certification for the TriFan 600 and begin preparations for production and manufacturing of the aircraft. The exact time and cost to secure FAA certification and commence production is not known, but we estimate that it will take 4 to 5 years and require at least $175 million in additional funding after completion of the proof of concept.

 

Investors will note that the above plan is a significant change from our original plan. Our original plan called for a 6 to 8 year timeline and a total cost of more than $400 million. The new plan requires half of the total funding and can be accomplished in a shorter timeframe. The switch to a hybrid-electric propulsion system has yielded significant savings in the engineering and development that will be required to build and certify the aircraft. This change has also reduced the expected sale price of the aircraft from approximately $12 million to only $6.5 million. The company will still be able to achieve the same profit margins at this lower price. We believe this change in expected sale price will expand the potential market for our aircraft. We believe the combination of the lower total cost of development and the expanded market potential increases the probability of successfully developing, funding and flying the TriFan 600.

 

With the receipt of sufficient financing, we will continue to focus our resources on four key areas: (i) hiring key members of the management team; (ii) pursuing additional funding; (iii) continuing development of the aircraft; and (iv) expanding sales and marketing to enable the company to take refundable customer deposits. With the $377,551 received during 2019 from the sale of Common Stock under Regulation A, common stock directly to investors and the issuance of convertible notes combined with the issuance of options to management and key vendors, we moved forward in each effort in 2019.

 

We will continue our design and development efforts by engaging key supply partners to assist in the creation of both the 65% scale and full scale proof of concept aircraft. These aircraft will help to identify and solve potential challenges in certain critical path systems of the aircraft including the engines, batteries, transmission and fly-by- wire system. Key milestones for this process will include:

 

 

 - 11 - 

 

 

  Continue test flights of the 65% scale proof of concept aircraft
  Initiate dialogue with vendors of key components of the full scale proof of concept aircraft

 

  Commission and complete trade studies

 

  Complete preliminary design of critical path systems

 

  Complete and fly the aircraft

 

We will continue to develop an internal and external sales and marketing capability to increase awareness of the aircraft and position the company to continue taking refundable customer deposits and pre-sales orders. This will be accomplished with the following milestones:

 

  Continue existing sales and marketing efforts

 

  Build and fly a subscale airplane

 

  Attend and exhibit at major international trade shows

 

  Receive additional refundable, escrowed deposit orders for the TriFan 600

 

We believe that increasing awareness of the aircraft and demonstrating customer demand through orders will enable the company to raise additional capital in the future more easily. To date, the company has received orders and deposits for 81 aircraft representing almost $526 million of future revenue. However, this revenue may not be earned for many years, or at all if customers cancel their deposits or we do not deliver aircraft to those customers.

 

 

 - 12 - 

 

 

The milestones identified above assume that we are able to, in the near term, raise the full amount we are seeking to raise of $25 million from various sources of financing. In that event, the company would expect to accomplish all of the above milestones within the first 24 months. However, we have developed our spending plans in each of these areas to be scalable to the amount of money that we raise from investors. We will need additional capital to complete our development of the proof of concept and beyond as discussed above and are pursuing multiple options for such funding, rather than relying on one source. We believe funding will come from a combination of short-term and long-term sources, including potential industry partners and suppliers.

 

Despite funding levels below our target, the company was able to accomplish several significant milestones in 2019, including:

 

  · Completed fabrication of our 65% scale proof of concept aircraft and conducted test and hover flights during the year
  · Attended multiple tradeshows both domestically and internationally to secure additional orders for the aircraft
  · Secured additional orders for 5 aircraft representing an additional ~$32 million in future revenue above and beyond the 76 aircraft reservations representing $494 million in future revenue secured prior to 2019.
  · Continued dialogue with multiple industry participants and potential vendors for key components

The Pino Notes do not carry a maturity date, but Mr. Pino’s estate can request repayment of the notes at any time. In addition, Mr. Pino’s estate can elect to have all or any portion of the notes repaid in common stock of the company using the good faith estimated value of the company (as agreed between the company and Mr. Pino’s estate) to determine the number of shares to be issued as repayment. In February 2019, the company reached an agreement with Mr. Pino’s estate to retire the outstanding Pino Notes in exchange for cash and the return of 2,347,826 shares of Common Stock held by the estate once all payments have been made. As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding principal amount on the note was $67,268 and the shares have not yet been returned.

·Cash compensation equal to 2.0% of the cash received by the company

In addition, Mr. Denehy is the holder of a convertible promissory note from the company (the “Denehy Note”) in an original principal amount of $500,000 and that bears an interest rate of 10.0% per annum.

The original convertible note with Mr. Denehy and the warrants issued under such note were cancelled as part of this new note. The remaining note bears interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum. Under the Denehy Note, the note will mature and shall be due and payable on November 1, 2023. Mr. Denehy may elect to convert all or a portion of the principal amount of the note into shares of the company at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. The Denehy Note also included warrants for 214,500 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.50 per share.

  

Future Transactions

 

All future affiliated transactions will be made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to us than those that can be obtained from an unaffiliated third party. A majority of the independent, disinterested members of our board of directors will approve future affiliated transactions, and we will maintain at least two independent directors on our board of directors to review all material transactions with affiliates.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatements.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of XTI Aircraft Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Emphasis of Matters

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated revenues or profits since inception, has negative cash flows from operations, has sustained a net loss of $3,912,998 for the year ended December 31, 2019, has an accumulated deficit of $13,013,647 as of December 31, 2019, and has limited liquid assets with $4,726 of cash while having $2,834,562 of current liabilities as of December 31, 2019. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

xti aircraft company 

Notes to Financial Statements 

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the years then ended 

 

Note 1 - Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

XTI Aircraft Company (the “Company,” “XTI,” or “we”) is a privately owned aviation business incorporated in Delaware in 2009 to develop vertical takeoff airplanes. XTI is an early-stage aircraft manufacturer that is creating a revolutionary solution for the business aviation industry. Once developed, this vertical takeoff airplane, the TriFan, will offer point-to-point travel to reduce total travel time by decreasing time spent driving to and from an airport before enjoying the benefits of a private jet.

 

Since inception, the Company has been engaged primarily in developing the design and engineering concepts for the TriFan and seeking funds from investors to fund that development.

 

Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has cash totaling $4,726, current liabilities totaling $2,834,562, and inception-to-date losses totaling $13,013,647, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In order for the Company to continue as a going concern, management’s plan is to expand its financing plans to include potential additional closings under Regulations A offerings. Nonetheless, to date the Company has not accomplished a financing of the size needed to put the Company on a stable operating basis. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional debt or equity financing, will be able to obtain positive cash flow operations, or that, if the Company is successful in any of those actions, those actions will produce adequate cash flow to enable the Company to meet future obligations. If the Company is unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing, operations may need to be reduced or ceased. The inability or failure to secure adequate debt or equity financing could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Cash

 

The Company holds cash in checking accounts. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it holds cash. The Company had $0 and $300,703 of cash in excess of FDIC insured balances as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are recorded at historical cost. These assets are related to legal costs incurred in pursuing patents and trademarks to protect the Company’s intellectual property. If the Company determines it will abandon these efforts, or if the United States Patent and Trademark Office indicates the patents or trademarks will not be accepted, all capitalized cost would be expensed immediately. The Company amortizes patents over a 15-year life once awarded. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, costs totaling $245,730 and $227,046 associated with patents and trademarks had been recorded, respectively. Amortization expense of $14,167 and $14,635 has been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Conceptual Design Costs

 

Conceptual design costs, also referred to as research and development costs, of the Company are expensed as incurred. These costs relate to the design and creation of the TriFan. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred conceptual design cost expenses of $254,579 and $764,944, respectively.

 

Advertising and Promotion

 

The cost of advertising and promotion is expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred advertising and promotion expenses of $29,947 and $42,334, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no accrued advertising expense recorded as liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company converted from an S corporation for tax purposes to a C corporation effective September 26, 2016. The Company follows guidance for income taxes and uncertain tax positions. Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured in accordance with accounting guidance. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as general and administrative expenses. However, no interest or penalties have been assessed as of December 31, 2019.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets principally include intangible assets. The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.

 

An impairment is measured by comparing expected future cash flows (undiscounted and before interest) to the carrying value of the assets. If impairment exists, the amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the net book value of the assets and their estimated fair value. The Company believes that no impairment of any long-lived assets existed at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Convertible Instruments

 

U.S. GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.

 

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.  Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

 

Convertible Warrant Liabilities and Common Stock Warrants

 

Freestanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock are classified as liabilities on the balance sheets at their estimated fair value when the warrant holder has the option to elect to receive cash value for the warrants and, therefore, may obligate the Company to transfer assets at some point in the future. Such common stock warrants are recorded at fair value upon issuance and are subject to remeasurement to their respective estimated fair values. At the end of each reporting period, changes in the estimated fair value of such common stock warrants are recorded in the statements of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability associated with the liability classified common stock warrants for changes in the estimated fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the common stock warrants.

 

The Company issued common stock warrants in connection with the execution of certain debt financings during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and in exchange for professional services rendered to the Company. Common stock warrants that are not considered derivative liabilities are accounted for at fair value at the date of issuance in additional paid-in capital. The fair value of these common stock warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation.  Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the option vesting period.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options.  

 

 - 32 - 

 

 

xti aircraft company 

Notes to Financial Statements 

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the years then ended 

 

The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC 505, Equity. The fair value of the option issued or committed to be issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured at the value of the Company’s common stock or stock award on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to stock-based compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital.

 

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.

 

The expected life of stock options was estimated using the “simplified method,” as the Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and employment duration for its stock options grants. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, the Company uses comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of options grants. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the option. The estimation of the number of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts are recognized as an adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may have conversion prices that create an embedded beneficial conversion feature pursuant to FASB ASC Subtopic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. A beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible is in excess of the conversion price. In accordance with this guidance, the intrinsic value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid-in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemption or forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share.  Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As the Company is in a net loss position as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, all dilutive items are anti-dilutive and therefore basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share. Potentially dilutive items outstanding as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 include stock options (Note 4), warrants (Note 5), and convertible notes (Note 3).

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 aircraft becomes available for delivery. Customers making deposits are not obligated to purchase aircraft 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 aircraft occurs, if any.

 

Note 2 – Revolving Line-of-Credit – Related Party

 

On January 1, 2016, the Company entered into a revolving line-of-credit with a stockholder of the Company, which allowed the Company to borrow up to $250,000. Under terms of the agreement, balances drawn on the revolving line-of-credit bear interest of 3% annually. The revolving line-of-credit has a maturity date of January 1, 2021 and through the date the financials were available to be issued has not been repaid by the Company. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the balance on the revolving line-of-credit was $107,457 and $143,175, respectively. Interest expense on this line of credit for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $3,622 and $4,029, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, accrued interest payable on the line of credit was $14,789 and $11,167, respectively.

 

Note 3 – Convertible and Promissory Notes – Related Party

 

In August 2015, the Company entered into a convertible note agreement with a stockholder. The convertible note has a principal amount of $763,176 and accrues interest at a rate of 3% per annum, provided that on and after the maturity dates (noted below) interest shall accrue from and after such date on the unpaid principal and all accrued but unpaid interest of the note at a rate of 10% per annum.

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements

 

Financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring (annual) basis under a framework of a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs into valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.  This hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  Further, financial assets and liabilities should be classified by level in their entirety based upon the lowest level of input that was significant to the fair value measurement.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

 - 41 - 

 

 

xti aircraft company

Notes to Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the years then ended

  

Level 1:  Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

 

Level 2:  Quoted prices in inactive markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or other observable inputs either directly related to the asset or liability or derived principally from corroborated observable market data.

 

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs due to the fact that there is little or no market activity. This entails using assumptions in models which estimate what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Note 9 – Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes.  Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse.  A valuation allowance is recorded when it is unlikely that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

 

The income tax provision from operations consists of the following:

 

    

December 31,

    2019    2018 
Current          
Federal  $-   $- 
State   -    - 
   $-   $- 

  

Deferred          
Federal  $(802,701)  $(532,283)
State   (139,811)   (92,711)
Valuation allowance   942,512    624,994 
   $-   $- 

 

A reconciliation between the expected federal income tax rate and the actual tax rate is as follows:

 

   December 31, 
   2019   2018 
Computed income taxes at 21% and 21%  $(821,730)  $(797,738)
           
Increase in income taxes resulting from:          
State and local income taxes, net of federal impact   (143,126)   (138,947)
Change in valuation allowance   257,076    624,994 
Change in tax rate   -      
Non-deductibles and other   707,780    311,691

A summary of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

 

   December 31, 
   2019   2018 
Deferred tax assets          
Accrued expenses  $325,192   $246,990 
Stock compensation   1,310,210    702,976 
Loss carryforwards   895,954    673,496 
Total deferred tax assets   2,531,356    1,623,462 
Valuation allowance   (2,531,356)   (1,623,462)
Net deferred tax assets    -    - 

 

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,633,565 and $2,731,382, respectively, for income tax purposes that begin to expire starting in 2037. Due to uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards before they begin to expire in 2037, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax asset to zero.

 

There are no significant matters determined to be unrecognized tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, in accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes”, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements and have been recorded on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company does not anticipate a material change to unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months.

 

In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law and the new legislation contains several key tax provisions that affected the Company, including a reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018, among others. The Company is required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment, such as determining the transition tax, remeasuring deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as reassessing the net realizability of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company used the new tax rates in calculating its 2018.

 

The Company files U.S. federal and state income tax returns. All previous tax returns have been filed. All tax periods since inception remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.   

 

Note 10 - Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the auditors’ report date, which is the date the financial statements were available for issuance. There were no subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
