Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

We are not subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) because we are not registering our securities under the Exchange Act. Rather, we will be subject to the more limited reporting requirements under Regulation A, including the obligation to electronically file:

 

·annual reports (including disclosure relating to our business operations for the preceding three fiscal years, or, if in existence for less than three years, since inception, related party transactions, beneficial ownership of the issuer’s securities, executive officers and directors and certain executive compensation information, management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the issuer’s liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations, and two years of audited financial statements),
·semiannual reports (including disclosure primarily relating to the issuer’s interim financial statements and MD&A) and
·current reports for certain material events.

 

In addition, at any time after completing reporting for the fiscal year in which our offering statement was qualified, if the securities of each class to which this offering statement relates are held of record by fewer than 300 persons and offers or sales are not ongoing, we may immediately suspend our ongoing reporting obligations under Regulation A.

 

If and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as an issuer with less than $1.07 billion in total annual gross revenues during our last fiscal year, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and this status will be significant. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:

 

3

 

 

·will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
·will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”);
·will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);
·will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure;
·may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A; and
·will be eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards.

 

We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under Section 107 of the JOBS Act. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

 

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

 

Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions are also available to us due to the fact that we may also qualify, once listed, as a “smaller reporting company” under the Commission’s rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation on their assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.

SUMMARY

 

Our Company

 

Our business strategy combines concepts from fractional jet membership programs with lessons learned from building blockchains and their communities. We believe the tokenization of flight hours and (as we mature) fractional membership programs offers the possibility of reduced transaction costs and, through the evolution of a marketplace, higher industry fleet utilization. Our purposeful enhancement of price discovery and reduced entry price have the potential to produce fairer and more inclusive results for aircraft owners and travelers alike.

 

We formed our company on June 4, 2018 and are currently operating as a charter broker. We developed and, in September 2019, launched our booking platform represented by our iOS app JetToken (the “App”). This App currently functions as a prospecting and quoting platform to arrange private jet travel with third party carriers. Users of our App can research and chose a flight and then contact us via the App to request a firm quote. We then confirm and process payment for the user manually. Our App is directly connected via API to Avinode, the major centralized database in private aviation. Through Avinode we electronically and automatically correspond with operators of private jets who have posted their aircraft for hire. We currently accept both cash and blockchain currency, which we promptly convert to fiat currency prior to confirming a booking.

 

We have also entered into a Deposit Agreement with Honda Aircraft Company in anticipation of leasing up to 4 HondaJets, depending on the amount of proceeds raised in this offering. We are in active negotiations with Honda Aircraft Company on the terms of the full aircraft purchase agreement and are in substantial agreement regarding key terms related to maintenance, pilot training, marketing and implied sale lease rates. We do not anticipate that finalizing this agreement will delay our ability to lease HondaJets once we have received sufficient proceeds from this offering. See “Use of Proceeds” for more information. We have also entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Gama Aviation regarding maintenance, management and operation of our leased aircraft. We expect to finalize an Operating Agreement with Gama Aviation prior to our lease of HondaJets.

 

We expect to launch a version 2.0 of our App by the end of first quarter of 2020. The user interface for version 2.0 has been developed and the coding of the supporting functionality is being developed. Version 2.0 will enable users to make payment directly through our App, either in cash or blockchain currency, which we will promptly convert to fiat currency prior to confirming a booking. Initially, this version of our App is expected to service clients booking charters through us. Once we have leased our HondaJets, version 2.0 of our App will facilitate the sale of third party charter and our own fleet utilization on our leased HondaJets by enabling clients who have purchased a package of flight hours to view their balances and apply amounts in their accounts to book time on either our HondaJets or third party charters. Ultimately, we expect to continue to develop our App functionality, with specific focus on the integration of a closed Ethereum based blockchain network (the “Network”), enabling clients to access the Jet Tokens in their digital wallets maintained on our Network until clients redeem their Jet Tokens for travel.

 

Once we acquire our HondaJets, in addition to servicing members and third party charter, the aircraft would be available to address unexpected cancellations or delays on brokered charters. Unlike most of our brokerage competitors, as well as many business jet management companies which require owner approval before their aircraft can be used for third party charter, we believe maintaining a fleet of readily available aircraft to back fill third party charter services provides more reliability and will be an attractive selling point for potential clients.

 

We ultimately intend to issue and sell Jet Tokens on our closed blockchain Network that would be redeemable for time on our HondaJets as well as for private jet travel with third party carriers. We are currently developing and testing our Jet Tokens and formalizing the rules of their use on our platform. Digital assets such as our proposed Jet Token, depending on their structure and rules of use, may be considered a security and the issuance and sale may be subject to registration under the Securities Act. We plan to structure our Jet Token to be in compliance with applicable law, including the federal securities laws. Specifically, we intend to structure Jet Tokens in such a way that they are not treated as securities.

 

We envision a time in which a client purchases from us a jet hour card using cash or blockchain currency and in return receives Jet Tokens redeemable for travel, or maintains funds in a wallet on our platform for purchase of travel, on our fleet, with third party jet operators or on commercial airlines. Through our App the client would seamlessly access their Jet Token balance in their Wallet on the Network; Jet Tokens would be one payment option on the App alongside fiat currency, bitcoin and other blockchain currencies. An integrated marketplace for private jet and commercial jet travel (arrivals, departures, aircraft description, aircraft photos, taxes, prices) has the potential to offer improved access to services for aircraft operators and travelers. We believe aircraft operators would achieve higher revenue per seat mile by filling an otherwise empty plane, and travelers would achieve access to on-demand travel at a lower average cost because of greater market transparency and improved price discovery.

 

We believe our strategy of combining, in a searchable instant booking platform, availability of private jet carriers, commercial airline flights and private jet owners underutilized flight time increases the efficiency and optimizes the cost to our clients of getting from point A to point B on their own terms.

Selected Risks Associated with Our Business

 

Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

We have a limited operating history; we have not launched our Jet Token platform in its fully automated form and we may not be able to do so.

 

Our business model depends on linking our Jet Token to the Ethereum blockchain and any problems experienced by Ethereum could damage our business and reputation.

 

New or different regulations governing digital assets, like our Jet Token, may have a material impact on our ability to operate our business.

 

If we are unable to structure our Jet Tokens to be in compliance with applicable law, including the federal securities laws, we may not be able to proceed with our business as planned.

 

We do not have definitive agreements in place yet with Honda Aircraft Company, the manufacturer of the jets we intend to lease, or Gama Aviation, the company that will maintain and operate our jets.

 

Fluctuations in the price of blockchain currencies and digital assets generally could materially and adversely affect our business.

 

6

 

 

Our business and reputation rely on, and will continue to rely on, third parties and any failure on their part may damage our reputation and business.

 

We face a high level of competition with numerous market participants having greater financial resources and operating experience than us.

 

Our failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in the future could harm our business.

 

We may not have enough funds to sustain the business until it becomes profitable and we may need to raise additional capital through equity and/or debt offerings to support our working capital requirements and operating losses if that becomes necessary.

 

Investors will be minority holders of Non-voting Common Stock with limited ability to influence our policies or any significant corporate matter

 

We have issued Preferred Stock that has greater rights and preferences than shares of Common Stock.

 

This offering involves "rolling closings." Because we are an early stage company our business is changing rapidly, which may mean that earlier investors may not have the benefit of information that later investors have.

 

The subscription agreement has a forum selection provision that requires disputes be resolved in state or federal courts in the State of New York, regardless of convenience or cost to you, the investor.

 

This investment is illiquid. Shares of non-voting Common Stock will only convert into voting Common Stock in limited circumstances which may not occur.

RISK FACTORS

 

The Commission requires the company to identify risks that are specific to its business and its financial condition. The company is still subject to all the same risks that all companies in its business, and all companies in the economy, are exposed to. These include risks relating to economic downturns, political and economic events and technological developments (such as hacking and the ability to prevent hacking). Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently riskier than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.

 

Risks Related to our Operating Environment

 

Demand for our product and services may decline due to factors beyond our control. Demand for private jet charters may be negatively impacted by factors affecting air travel generally, such as adverse weather conditions, an outbreak of a contagious disease and other natural events, terrorism and increased security screening requirements. Each of these may result in delays that could reduce the attractiveness of private air charter travel versus other means of transportation, particularly for shorter distance travel, which represents our target market. Delays also frustrate passengers, affecting our reputation and potentially reducing fleet utilization and charter bookings as a result of flight cancellations and increase costs. We may experience decreased demand, as well as a loss of reputation, in the event of an accident involving one of our aircraft or an aircraft booked through our platform or any actual or alleged misuse of our platform or aircraft by customers in violation of law. Demand for our product and services may also decline due to regulatory action that increases the cost of private air charter travel versus other forms of transportation, particularly efforts aimed at addressing climate change such as carbon tax initiatives or other actions. More broadly, business jet travel is highly correlated to the performance of the economy and any economic downturn is likely to have a direct impact on the use of business jets, which may be intensified when combined with a sensitive political environment. For example, beginning in 2008 and in connection with weakened macroeconomic conditions, the corporate and executive jet aviation industry, and companies that utilize corporate jets, experienced intensified political and media scrutiny. Any of the foregoing circumstances or events which reduced the demand for private jet charters could negatively impact our ability to establish our business and achieve profitability.

 

We face a high level of competition with numerous market participants having greater financial resources and operating experience than us. The private air travel industry is extraordinarily competitive. We plan to compete against private jet charter and fractional jet companies as well as business jet charter companies. All compete for passengers with a variety of pricing plans, aircraft types, blackout periods, booking terms and other products and services. Both the private jet charter companies and the business jet charter companies have numerous competitive advantages that enable them to attract customers. Our access to a smaller aircraft fleet and regional focus puts us at a competitive disadvantage, particularly with respect to our appeal to business travelers who want to travel overseas.

 

The fractional private jet companies and many of the business jet charter companies have access to larger fleets of aircraft and have greater financial resources, which would permit them to more effectively service customers. Due to our relatively small size, we are more susceptible to their competitive activities, which could prevent us from attaining the level of sales required to sustain profitable operations.

 

8

 

 

Recently consolidation in the industry, such as VistaJet’s recent acquisitions of XOJET and JetSmarter, and increased consolidation in the future could further intensify the competitive environment we face. These competitive factors may make it difficult for us to establish and sustain a profitable business.

 

The demand for our services is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Demand for our services will fluctuate over the course of the year and is higher in the summer season and during holiday periods. During periods of higher demand, our ability to provide agreed upon levels of service to our customers may deteriorate, which could have a negative impact on our reputation and our ability to succeed.

 

Our ability to sell our product or service may be adversely affected by changes in government regulation. Our business is subject to significant regulation by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) as well as “know your customer” obligations and other laws and regulations. The laws and regulations concerning the selling of our product or services may change and if they do then the selling of our product or service may no longer be possible or profitable.

 

We do not have definitive agreements in place with Honda Aircraft Company, the manufacturer of the jets we intend to lease, or Gama Aviation, the company that will maintain and operate our jets. Our expectations for the growth and profitability of our business are largely reliant on the favorable terms we have negotiated with Honda Aircraft Company and Gama Aviation. While we have entered into a Deposit Agreement with Honda Aircraft Company and a non-binding letter of intent with Gama Aviation, negotiated key terms and conditions for definitive agreements, we have not yet entered into definitive agreements with either company. The terms in the definitive agreements with these parties, when ultimately entered into, may be less favorable to us than we expect or than those previously negotiated. In addition, we cannot assure you that these parties will be willing to enter into agreements with us when we are ready to do so and finding substitutes for these arrangements may cause significant delay and be on less favorable terms. Either circumstance could cause our results and ability to achieve profitability to suffer.

 

We have not launched a version of our App that would automate payment processing or integrate client Jet Token balances held in wallets on the Network and there is a risk that we may not be able to do so or, if we do, that we will be able to establish and grow our client base. We have not yet launched a version of our App that will provide for automatic payment processing or integrate client Jet Token balances held in wallets on the Network. We can not assure you that we will be able to do so. If and when we do, there are no guarantees that we will attract a sufficient client base who use our booking services to charter flights. If we fail to develop and launch these more enhanced versions of our App or fail to attract a sufficient client base, we may determine to discontinue our business and you could lose all of your investment.

 

Our failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in the future could harm our business. We believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability to retain or attract highly qualified management, technical and other personnel. We may not be successful in retaining key personnel or in attracting other highly qualified personnel. If we are unable to retain or attract significant numbers of qualified management and other personnel, we may not be able to grow and expand our business.

Risks Related to our Business

 

We are an early stage company with a limited operating history. Our company was formed on June 4, 2018. Accordingly, we have a limited history upon which an investor can evaluate our performance and future prospects. The company has a short history, few customers, and effectively no revenue. Our current and proposed operations are subject to all business risks associated with new enterprises. These include likely fluctuations in operating results as we react to developments in our markets, difficulty in managing our growth and the entry of competitors into the market. We have incurred net losses to date and, because our platform is not yet operational, our financial statements do not reflect any operating revenues. We cannot assure you that we will be profitable in the foreseeable future or generate sufficient profits to pay dividends to the holders of the shares.

 

If we are not able to structure our Jet Token in accordance with applicable law, including federal securities laws, we may not be able to proceed with our business as planned. A significant element of our strategy is to issue and sell Jet Tokens redeemable for time on our HondaJets as well as for private jet travel with third party carriers, which we expect to provide us with significant competitive advantages such as significantly reduced financial transaction costs and increased efficiencies in the delivery of air charter services. We plan to structure our Jet Token to be in compliance with applicable law, including the federal securities laws. This will require us, among other things, to structure our Jet Tokens so that they are not treated as securities for purposes of federal securities laws. If we are not able to structure our Jet Tokens as we intend, we may not be able to operate our business as planned. Specifically, we would lose the competitive advantages tokenization provides which may impair our profitability. In addition, to the extent that investors view our ability to create and sell our Jet Tokens as contributing to the value of our Company as a whole and, in particular, to the value of our Non-voting Common Stock, our failure to structure Jet Tokens in compliance with applicable laws may cause the value of the Non-voting Common Stock to decline.

 

Our business strategy includes creating and linking our Jet Token to the Ethereum blockchain and any problems experienced by Ethereum could damage our business and reputation. Although we intend to create and issue Jet Tokens on our Network compatible with the Ethereum blockchain, and later intend to establish one or more smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain and act as gatekeeper for our clients and their ownership and use of our Jet Tokens, ultimately our ability to do so is dependent on the sound functioning of the Ethereum blockchain. Blockchain technology is still relatively new and there are a number of different networks that have been and likely will be established. It is uncertain which will have longevity and which may become obsolete. In addition, blockchains by design maintain each transaction in a secure “block” or ledger, which is chained together, with cryptography, to all prior transaction “blocks” involving the same digital assets. This requires a significant and ever-expanding amount of data storage and it is uncertain at this time whether there is a limit to any blockchain’s ability to maintain the integrity of this data in the long term. Blockchain technology is also founded on the principal of immutable transaction records, which, while providing strong data integrity and security, may also make it difficult for us to make adjustments in response to client concerns or problems and cause damage to our reputations and the loss of clients. In addition, there have been a number of hacking attacks targeting blockchains, in particular the “51% attack” against Ethereum Classic, i.e. a type of hack in which a person or persons gains control of a majority of the network's mining power and can defraud other users by sending them payments and then creating an alternative version of the blockchain in which the payments never happened. These events indicate that, despite the design of blockchains to create immutable transaction records, blockchains are susceptible to hacking attacks. Any disruption in, or problem with the Ethereum blockchain, hacking activity that distorts our smart contract or transaction data, or the inflexibility to address our client needs, could cause significant disruption in our operations and harm our business.

 

Changes in the regulatory environment governing digital assets could make it difficult or impracticable to create and sell our Jet Token which may have a material impact on our revenues or the value of the shares of Non-voting Common Stock. The regulatory environment governing digital assets, like our Jet Token is relatively new and changing rapidly. In addition to the federal securities laws discussed above, digital assets may also be subject to commodities laws, trade sanctions, and banking laws, among others. Changes to the regulatory environment affecting our business could materially impair our ability to create and sell Jet Tokens. If we are unable to create and sell our Jet Tokens, our platform may lose what potential clients view as a competitive advantage and cause our revenues to decline. In addition, to the extent that Investors view our ability to create and sell our Jet Tokens as contributing to the value of our Company as a whole and, in particular, to the value of our Non-voting Common Stock, our failure to do so may cause the value of the Non-voting Common Stock to decline.

 

If we cannot raise sufficient funds we will not succeed. We are offering Non-voting Common Stock in the amount of up to $10,000,000 and may close on any investments that are made. Even if the maximum amount is raised, we are likely to need additional funds in the future in order to grow, and if we cannot raise those funds for whatever reason, including reasons relating to our business or prospects or the broader economy, we may not survive. If we manage to raise only a minimum amount of funds, we will have to find other sources of funding for some of the plans outlined in "Use of Proceeds."

 

10

 

 

We may not have enough capital as needed and may be required to raise more capital and the terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact your investment. We anticipate needing access to credit in order to support our working capital requirements as we grow. Although interest rates are low, it is still a difficult environment for obtaining credit on favorable terms. If we cannot obtain credit when we need it, we may issue debt or equity securities to raise funds, modify our growth plans, or take some other action. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impact operating results and convertible debt securities could result in diluting your interest in the company. Issuance of preferred stock, in addition to diluting your interests in the company, may be done on terms more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of shares of Non-voting Common Stock. If we are unable to find additional capital on favorable terms, then it is possible that we will choose to cease our sales activity. In that case, the only asset remaining to generate a return on your investment could be our intellectual property. Even if we are not forced to cease our sales activity, the unavailability of capital could result in our performing below expectations, which could adversely impact the value of your investment.

 

We are dependent on our information systems which may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks or other events. Our operations are dependent on our information systems and the information collected, processed, stored, and handled by these systems. We rely heavily on our computer systems to manage our client account balances, booking, pricing, processing and other processes. We receive, retain and transmit certain confidential information, including personally identifiable information that our clients provide to us. In addition, for these operations, we depend in part on the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks to charter operators. Our information systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, facility damage, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches, including credit card or personally identifiable information breaches, coordinated cyber-attacks, vandalism, catastrophic events and human error. More specifically, our clients will maintain wallets on our platform representing the value of their investment in Jet Tokens and, if issued, the ownership of those Jet Tokens. If our platform is hacked, these funds could be at risk of being stolen which would damage our reputation and likely our business. Any significant disruption or cyber-attacks on our information systems, particularly those involving confidential information being accessed, obtained, damaged, or used by unauthorized or improper persons, could harm our reputation and expose us to regulatory or legal actions and impair our ability to operate our business and our financial results.

 

The prices of blockchain currencies that we accept as payment are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of blockchain currencies and digital assets generally could materially and adversely affect our business. We accept blockchain currencies, like Bitcoin, as payment and the market value of these blockchain currencies is highly volatile. Though we promptly exchange blockchain currencies for fiat currencies to limit direct exposure to this volatility, we believe our services have a competitive advantage due to our acceptance of blockchain currencies as payment vis-a-vis our competitors. To the extent that this high level of volatility decreases the general use of blockchain currencies, we may lose this competitive advantage and our results may suffer. Furthermore, a decrease in the price of a single blockchain asset may cause volatility in the entire blockchain asset industry and may affect other blockchain assets including our Jet Tokens. For example, a security breach that affects investor or user confidence in Bitcoin, or Ethereum may also cause the demand for our Jet Tokens, if issued, to diminish in value.

 

Our business and reputation rely on, and will continue to rely on, third parties. We are relying on a third party app developer to develop our initial platform design and we will only assume internal control over our platform development at the stage where we link to improve it in the future. We also expect to rely heavily on Gama Aviation LLC to maintain and operate our leased aircraft for charter services and we will rely on third party operators when our clients book flights through our platform with those operators. The failure of these third parties to perform these roles properly may result in damage to our reputation, loss of clients, potential litigation and other costs. We may also experience delays, defects, errors, or other problems with their work that could have an adverse effect on our results and our ability to achieve profitability.

We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property interests or may be found infringing on intellectual property interests of others. We use a combination of trademarks, domain names and other measures to protect our intellectual property. We believe that our trademarks and domain names play an important role in protecting our brand name and marketing of our services. We have registered our trademarks and domain names that we currently use in the United States. We may be subject to claims by other parties asserting interests in such trademarks and domain names or infringement of their intellectual property rights. In addition, our business is subject to the risk of third parties infringing our trademarks. We may not always be successful in securing protection for, or stopping infringements of, our trademarks and we may need to resort to litigation in the future to enforce our rights in this regard. Any such litigation could result in significant costs and a diversion of resources. We may not have the funds to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, which may undermine the credibility of our intellectual property, reducing our ability to enter into sub-licenses and weakening our attempts to prevent competitors from entering the market.

 

We may not have enough funds to sustain the business until it becomes profitable. Even if we raise funds through this offering, we may not accurately anticipate how quickly we may use the funds and whether these funds are sufficient to bring the business to profitability.

 

Risks Related to the Securities and the Offering

 

Any valuation at this stage is difficult to assess. The valuation for the offering was established by the company. Unlike listed companies that are valued publicly through market-driven stock prices, the valuation of private companies, especially startups, is difficult to assess and you may risk overpaying for your investment.

 

Shares of Non-voting Common Stock only convert into voting Common Stock in limited circumstances, which may not occur, and Investors should be prepared to hold shares of Non-voting Common Stock indefinitely. Shares of Non-voting Common Stock convert automatically and solely upon the closing of an initial public offering of voting Common Stock or the merger of the company into another entity. We cannot assure you that either of these events will occur and as a result, investors should expect to hold shares of Non-voting Common Stock indefinitely.

 

Investors will be minority holders of Non-voting Common Stock and we have issued Preferred Stock that has greater rights and preferences than shares of Common Stock. The shares of Non-voting Common Stock are non-voting and voting control is in the hands of a few large stockholders. Therefore, investors in this offering will have a limited ability to influence our policies or any other corporate matter, including the election of directors, changes to our company’s governance documents, expanding the employee option pool, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major action requiring stockholder approval. Holders of Series Seed Preferred Stock, in addition to having voting rights on an as converted basis with our voting Common Stock, have veto rights over some corporate actions that holders of Non-voting Common Stock do not have. Furthermore, in the event of a liquidation of our company, you will only be paid out if there is any cash remaining after all of the creditors of our company have been paid and after payment to the holders of our Series Seed Preferred Stock and our Series CF Preferred Stock.

 

This offering involves "rolling closings," which may mean that earlier investors may not have the benefit of information that later investors have. We may request that StartEngine Primary instruct the escrow agent to disburse offering funds to us at any time. At that point, investors whose subscription agreements have been accepted will become our stockholders. In light of our early stage of development, our business is likely to change significantly during the offering period. We will file supplements to our Offering Circular reflecting material changes and investors whose subscriptions have not yet been accepted will have the benefit of that additional information. These investors may withdraw their subscriptions and get their money back. Investors whose subscriptions have already been accepted, however, will already be our stockholders and will have no such right.

This investment is illiquid. There is no currently established market for reselling these securities. If you decide that you want to resell these securities in the future, you may not be able to find a buyer.

 

The value of your investment may be diluted if the company issues additional options. The company has 9.4 million authorized shares available for option grants under the terms of its Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Option and Grant Plan. The company may in the future increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan. The issuance of additional option or stock grants under the plan or other stock based incentive program may dilute the value of your holdings. The company views stock based incentive compensation as an important competitive tool, particularly in attracting both managerial and technological talent.

 

The subscription agreement has a forum selection provision that requires disputes be resolved in state or federal courts in the State of New York, regardless of convenience or cost to you, the investor.  In order to invest in this offering, investors agree to resolve disputes arising under the subscription agreement in state or federal courts located in the State of New York, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the agreement. Section 22 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the "Securities Act"), creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. We believe that the exclusive forum provision applies to claims arising under the Securities Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision in this context. Section 27 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1943, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. You will not be deemed to have waived the company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. This forum selection provision may limit your ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.   Alternatively, if a court were to find the provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

DILUTION

 

Dilution means a reduction in value, control or earnings of the shares the investor owns.

 

Immediate dilution

 

An early-stage company typically sells its shares (or grants options over its shares) to its founders and early employees at a very low cash cost, because they are, in effect, putting their “sweat equity” into the company. When the company seeks cash investments from outside investors, like you, the new investors typically pay a much larger sum for their shares than the founders or earlier investors, which means that the cash value of your stake is diluted because all the shares are worth the same amount, and you paid more than earlier investors for your shares.

 

The following table demonstrates the price that new investors are paying for their shares of Non-voting Common Stock with the effective cash price paid by existing stockholders. The table presents shares and pricing as issued and reflects all transactions since inception. The share numbers and amounts in this table assume conversion of all outstanding options granted to our Chief Executive Officer and President into shares of Common Stock at their exercise price. The dilution disclosures contained in this section are based upon the instruments issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2019.

Future dilution

 

Another important way of looking at dilution is the dilution that happens due to future actions by the company. The investor’s stake in a company could be diluted due to the company issuing additional shares. In other words, when the company issues more shares, the percentage of the company that you own will go down, even though the value of the company may go up. You will own a smaller piece of a larger company. This increase in number of shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such as an initial public offering, another Regulation A round, a venture capital round, angel investment), employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of certain instruments (e.g. convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants) into stock.

 

If the company decides to issue more shares, an investor could experience value dilution, with each share being worth less than before, and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor owns being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution, with a reduction in the amount earned per share (though this typically occurs only if the company offers dividends, and most early stage companies are unlikely to offer dividends, preferring to invest any earnings into the company).

 

15

 

 

The type of dilution that hurts early-stage investors most occurs when the company sells more shares in a “down round,” meaning at a lower valuation than in earlier offerings. An example of how this might occur is as follows (numbers are for illustrative purposes only):

 

In June 2017 Jane invests $20,000 for shares that represent 2% of a company valued at $1 million.

 

In December the company is doing very well and sells $5 million in shares to venture capitalists on a valuation (before the new investment) of $10 million. Jane now owns only 1.3% of the company but her stake is worth $200,000.

 

In June 2018 the company has run into serious problems and in order to stay afloat it raises $1 million at a valuation of only $2 million (the “down round”). Jane now owns only 0.89% of the company and her stake is worth only $26,660.

 

This type of dilution might also happen upon conversion of convertible notes into shares. Typically, the terms of convertible notes issued by early-stage companies provide that in the event of another round of financing, the holders of the convertible notes get to convert their notes into equity at a “discount” to the price paid by the new investors, i.e., they get more shares than the new investors would for the same price. Additionally, convertible notes may have a “price cap” on the conversion price, which effectively acts as a share price ceiling. Either way, the holders of the convertible notes get more shares for their money than new investors. In the event that the financing is a “down round” the holders of the convertible notes will dilute existing equity holders, and even more than the new investors do, because they get more shares for their money. Investors should pay careful attention to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying convertible notes that the company may issue in the future, and the terms of those notes.

 

If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of the company or expecting each share to hold a certain amount of value, it’s important to realize how the value of those shares can decrease by actions taken by the company. Dilution can make drastic changes to the value of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share.

THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Our business strategy combines concepts from fractional jet membership programs with lessons learned from building blockchains and their communities. We believe the tokenization of flight hours and (as we mature) fractional membership programs offers the possibility of reduced transaction costs and, through the evolution of a marketplace, higher industry fleet utilization. Our purposeful enhancement of price discovery and reduced entry price have the potential to produce fairer and more inclusive results for aircraft owners and travelers alike.

 

We formed our company on June 4, 2018 and are currently operating as a charter broker. We developed and, in September 2019, launched our booking platform represented by our iOS app JetToken (the “App”). This App currently functions as a prospecting and quoting platform to arrange private jet travel with third party carriers. Users of our booking platform can research and chose a prospective flight and then to contact us via the App to request a firm quote on their selected flight. We then confirm and process payment for the user manually. We currently accept both cash and blockchain currency, which we promptly convert to fiat currency prior to confirming a booking. Our App is directly connected via API to Avinode, the major centralized database in private aviation. Through Avinode we electronically and automatically correspond with operators of private jets who have posted their aircraft for hire.

 

We have also entered into a Deposit Agreement with Honda Aircraft Company in anticipation of leasing up to 4 HondaJets, depending on the amount of proceeds raised in this offering. We are in active negotiations with Honda Aircraft Company on the terms of the full aircraft purchase agreement and are in substantial agreements regarding key terms related to maintenance, pilot training, marketing and implied sale leaseback rates. We do not anticipate that finalizing this agreement will delay our ability to lease HondaJets once we have received sufficient proceeds from this offering. See “Use of Proceeds” for more information. We have also entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Gama Aviation regarding maintenance, management and operation of our leased aircraft. We expect to finalize an Operating Agreement with Gama Aviation prior to our lease of HondaJets.

 

Strategy

 

We expect to launch a version 2.0 of our App by the end of first quarter of 2020. The user interface for version 2.0 has been developed and the coding of the supporting functionality is being developed. Version 2.0 will enable users to make payment directly through our App, either in cash or blockchain currency, which we will promptly convert to fiat currency prior to confirming a booking. Initially, this version of our App is expected to service clients booking charters through us. Once we have leased our HondaJets, version 2.0 of our App will facilitate the sale of third party charter and our own fleet utilization on our leased HondaJets by enabling clients who have purchased a package of flight hours to view their balances and apply amounts in their accounts to book time on either our HondaJets or third party charters. Ultimately, we expect to continue to develop our App functionality, with specific focus on the integration of a closed Ethereum based blockchain network (the “Network”), enabling clients to access the Jet Tokens in their digital wallets maintained on our Network until clients redeem their Jet Tokens for travel.

 

Once we acquire our HondaJets, in addition to servicing members and third party charter, the aircraft would be available to address unexpected cancellations or delays on brokered charters. Unlike most of our brokerage competitors, as well as many business jet management companies which require owner approval before their aircraft can be used for third party charter, we believe maintaining a fleet of readily available aircraft to back fill third party charter services provides more reliability and will be an attractive selling point for potential clients.

 

We ultimately intend to issue and sell Jet Tokens on our closed blockchain Network that would be redeemable for time on our HondaJets as well as for private jet travel with third party carriers. We are currently developing and testing our Jet Tokens and formalizing the rules of their use on our platform. Digital assets such as our proposed Jet Token, depending on their structure and rules of use, may be considered a security and the issuance and sale may be subject to registration under the Securities Act. We plan to structure our Jet Token to be in compliance with applicable law, including the federal securities laws. Specifically, we intend to structure Jet Tokens in such a way that they are not treated as securities.

 

We envision a time in which a client purchases from us a jet hour card using cash or blockchain currency and in return receives Jet Tokens redeemable for travel, or maintains funds in a wallet on our platform for purchase of travel, on our fleet, with third party jet operators or on commercial airlines. Through our App the client would seamlessly access their Jet Token balance in their Wallet on the Network; Jet Tokens would be one payment option on the App alongside fiat currency, bitcoin and other blockchain currencies. An integrated marketplace for private jet travel (arrivals, departures, aircraft description, aircraft photos, taxes, prices) has the potential to offer improved access to services for aircraft operators and travelers. We believe aircraft operators would achieve higher revenue per seat mile by filling an otherwise empty plane, and travelers would achieve access to on-demand travel at a lower average cost because of greater market transparency and improved price discovery.

 

We believe our strategy of combining, in our searchable instant booking platform, availability of private jet carriers, commercial airline flights and private jet owners underutilized flight time increases the efficiency and optimizes the cost to our clients of getting from point A to point B on their own terms. Our marketing and advertising efforts are intended to initially focus on high net worth individuals whose source of wealth stems from blockchain technologies. We intend to focus on two primary marketing channels, online marketing and event marketing. Paid social media advertising will drive our online marketing. With respect to event marketing we intend to have a presence at both blockchain and business jet industry gatherings.

Market Opportunity

 

Over the past 30 years, the market for private jet travel has transformed significantly. First the model of full aircraft ownership transformed into fractional ownership with companies such as NetJets and FlexJet. This was followed by operators offering jet cards and on-demand service through their fleet of aircraft. The latest iteration of private jet travel provides even more flexibility by providing an on-demand service to travelers while leveraging the flight availability of one or more third party carriers. The result of this transformation is a highly segmented industry with numerous market participants offering varying levels of ownership.

 

According to National Business Aviation Association, the business jet industry contributes $150 billion dollars per year to the US economy. In 2017, there were 14,217 business jets in the US fleet that generated 4.5 million flight hours per year, and only 2,876 of the 14,217 total business jets in the United States actually flew charter. Numerous charter brokers and centralized databases that each attempt to improve the allocation of that capacity in return for a fee.

 

Business jet charter operators (those operating under a Part 135 license from the Federal Aviation Administration) logged over a million landings in the US during 2018 according to ARGUS International, Inc., a leading providers of aviation services, including statistical data and ratings. The average flight lasts 1.5 hours with 2-3 passengers, and we estimate the average cost to operate a US business jet at $5,000 per hour. Most charters include the cost of the empty return leg so a 1.5 hour trip typically translates to 3 hours of billed time, or approximately $15,000. As a result, one million landings per year at $7,500 per landing ($15,000 round trip) equals $7.5 billion of revenues in charter landings alone. That's approximately 2,740 charter landings per day at any one of 5,000 private airports or 500 commercial airports.

 

Furthermore, for the other 11,341 business jets that do not fly charter, we believe many private plane owners do not seek FAA certification and special insurance to permit third parties to pay to fly on their planes partly because there is no practical way to source and process vetted, willing, passengers. These owners are permitted under FAA rules to offset only their cost by allowing others to use their aircraft. There is currently no electronic marketplace geared toward aircraft owners seeking systematic recruitment of unrelated “at cost” passengers with an eye toward defraying the expense of jet ownership and operation.

 

We believe that by combining the private jet on-demand model with commercial airline flight availability and prospectively the underutilized flight hours of private jet operators, our company will be positioned to provide optimum flexibility and cost efficiency for our clients. Moreover, we believe that the Jet Tokens, operating on an Ethereum compatible blockchain network (discussed below), will offer a superior and lower cost allocation mechanism of resources in private jet services.

 

The Blockchain Technology

 

We plan to create a closed blockchain based on the Ethereum network to facilitate charter bookings and payments through the mechanism of Jet Tokens, if issued. The payment mechanism with Jet Tokens, if issued, involves the use of an ERC-20 compatible wallet address on our private Ethereum blockchain. The wallet would be accessible via our App and users would be able to view their Jet Token balance and to choose to select some or all of that balance as a means of payment. For example, upon processing fiat or blockchain currency payment for a new 50 hour jet card member, we would deposit Jet Tokens into the wallet of that member corresponding to fifty hours of travel on our fleet. Via the App, the member would then book travel, either on our fleet or on third party aircraft, and redeem Jet Tokens to pay for such travel.

 

20

 

 

The payment mechanism without tokens involves the use of white label solutions from two nationally recognized payment processors. One processor is dedicated to accepting various forms of virtual currency and the other is dedicated to accepting fiat payment through such payment methods as ACH, wire transfer, credit card, Apple Pay and many other domestic and international payment processors.

 

If issued, Jet Tokens will be issued electronically on the ERC20 standard consisting of software code and managed by us through our private Ethereum-based blockchain Network. ERC-20 defines a common list of rules for Ethereum tokens to follow within the larger Ethereum ecosystem, allowing developers to accurately predict interaction between tokens. These rules include how the tokens are transferred between addresses and how data within each token is accessed. Transactions on this network are automatically updated and recorded in an open and distributed ledger known as the Ethereum Blockchain. This means that there is no single entity governing content or prices of goods and services that may be purchased or sold.

 

The advantages of utilizing blockchain technology for air charter services payment settlement include a significant reduction in financial transaction costs that financial institutions charge in payment settlement for air charter services. For example, private blockchain transaction costs are set at the discretion of the owner of the chain and may be as low as a fraction of a cent, representing minimal costs of electricity and processing power. In comparison, credit card fees may range between 1% and 4% of the transaction value, which can be significant in absolute dollar terms given the high level of expense associated with some private jet charters. Financial institutions may also charge significant wire transfer fees and, in the case of international wire transactions in U.S. or non-U.S. currency, correspondence bank charges and bank imposed exchange rates are typically built in to produce an additional profit margin for the financial institution, further increasing transaction expenses.

 

Transferring funds, or if created and sold Jet Tokens, using blockchain technology may significantly increase efficiencies in the delivery of air charter services. For example, use of blockchain technology will enable us to deliver service in exchange for payment or, if issued, upon redemption of Jet Tokens, on evenings, weekends and holidays when banks are closed. We anticipate that we will also be able to deliver services on a same day basis against payment. This travel may not have otherwise taken place, for want of payment technology. Other forms of payment may not clear on the same day or could be delayed if exceeding a client’s credit card limit. International wires can take from one to four business days to clear as they must often transit from a foreign bank, through a domestic correspondent bank and then finally to a domestic recipient bank. These improved efficiencies and rapid settlement of large transactions that are typical in the air charter services industry may in turn allow for faster booking confirmation of air charter flights, particularly on weekends and holidays coincident with periods of peak travel demand.

 

Our platform is currently directly connected via API to Avinode, the major centralized database in private aviation. Through Avinode we electronically and automatically correspond with operators of private jets who have already posted their aircraft for hire. We depend on the cooperation and collaboration of third-party air charter services in that we would expect their timely reply to inbound charter pricing requests, and their willingness to confirm bookings and accept payments from us. We currently expect to engage with them as middle-men, selling access to their aircraft. Most third-party air charter service providers already contribute substantial data on their aircraft and aircraft availability to Avinode. Generally, these third-party air charter service providers provide updated information on a daily basis and we do not expect them to deviate from their current business practices in their cooperation / collaboration with us. We intend to pay third party air charter service providers (and airlines) on a timely basis and in fiat currency.

 

If we create and issue Jet Token, customers would be able through our App to redeem Jet Tokens for flight time on our fleet, for a third party jet operator or for commercial airline travel. These Jet Tokens would be held in custody in the client’s wallet. The wallet would be integrated with the App and would enable direct booking and payment. The customer may transfer their Jet Tokens to another customer but that customer would also be required to maintain their Jet Tokens in a wallet on our platform. We would burn (i.e., remove from circulation) any Jet Tokens that have been redeemed. We currently contemplate that, through our private, Ethereum-based, blockchain Network, we know the identity of each App user and restrict transfer of our ERC-20 compatible tokens to wallets accessible via the App.

 

Today we have a smart contract on the Ethereum network running for demonstration purposes (PPJC). Our founder, Mike Winston, together with a developer, successfully executed a separate blockchain project and for this reason we have confidence around sourcing the blockchain development talent to build out the Jet Token blockchain functionality.

 

Our Aircraft

 

We have entered into a Deposit Agreement with Honda Aircraft Company in anticipation of leasing up to 4 HondaJets and expect to enter into a definitive agreement by January 31, 2020.

 

HondaJets are ideally suited for trips under 2 hours carrying 2-4 passengers plus two pilots. We believe the HondaJet is one of the most spacious and cost-efficient light jets on the market with ample baggage and interior room (including an enclosed lavatory). The wing mounted engines allow for a tranquil, spacious interior. Engines on the wings mean less weight on the tail and more room in the cabin.

 

 

 

We currently intend to base the fleet in Las Vegas, NV, a top ten private jet destination and may relocate the fleet based on seasonal travel patterns and the travel patterns of our membership. Our partnership with Gama Aviation permits additional flexibility outside our planned service area.

 

We estimate that thirty calendar days per year (holidays, major sporting events etc.) it's difficult, if not impossible, to fly private without the guaranteed access provided by a jet membership program such as ours. The ability to safely offer guaranteed capacity, on demand, is one of the most important features one can deliver in private aviation. Also, our aircraft give us the ability to attract online visitors with dynamically priced offers. Additionally, the prospective terms of our aircraft leases allow us to make very low minimum payments, significantly reducing the monthly burn rate associated with most private aviation startups.

 

We have entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Gama Aviation containing the terms by which Gama would maintain, service and operate our leased HondaJets. We anticipate entering into a definitive Operating Agreement with Gama Aviation prior to leasing HondaJets. Gama Aviation is one of the largest aircraft management companies in the United States with a managed fleet of over 200 aircraft, employing 1,400 people worldwide at 45 different locations in 17 countries across five continents. Once we enter into a definitive Operating Agreement, Gama Aviation will maintain, service and operate the aircraft on our behalf and in compliance with all applicable FAA regulations and certification requirements.

 

21

 

 

Gama Aviation successfully operated and maintained HondaJets in two separate markets on the East Coast. We intend to have Gama Aviation operate our aircraft for us on the West Coast. Gama can safely provide substitute aircraft at competitive rates in periods of excess demand for our HondaJets.

 

Competition

 

The private air travel industry is extraordinarily competitive.

 

We will compete against private jet charter and fractional jet companies. Established private jet brokerage and fractional companies include but are not limited to, NetJets/MarquisJets, Delta Private Jets, FlexJet, VistaGlobal (including JetSmarter powered by XO), SentientJet, WheelsUp, JetSuite, Flight Options, Nicholas Air, Jet Alliance, Executive Air Share, Plane Sense, One Sky Jets, StarJets, Jet Aviation, and Luxury Aircraft Solutions. All compete for passengers with a variety of pricing plans, aircraft types, blackout periods, booking terms, flyer programs and other products and services, including seating, food, entertainment and other on-board amenities.

 

Both the private jet charter companies and the legacy airlines and low-cost carriers have numerous competitive advantages that enable them to attract both business and leisure travelers. Our competitors may have corporate travel contracts that direct large numbers of employees to fly with a preferred carrier. The enormous route networks operated by our competitors, combined with their marketing and partnership relationships with regional airlines and international alliance partner carriers, allow them to generate increased passenger traffic from domestic and international cities. Our access to smaller aircraft fleet networks and lack of connecting traffic and marketing alliances puts us at a competitive disadvantage, particularly with respect to our appeal to higher-fare business travelers.

 

The fractional private jet companies and the legacy airlines and low-cost carriers each operate larger fleets of aircraft and have greater financial resources, which would permit them to add service in response to our entry into new markets. Due to our relatively small size, we are more susceptible to a fare wars or other competitive activities, which could prevent us from attaining the level of traffic or maintaining the level of sales required to sustain profitable operations.

 

Recently VistaJet acquired XOJET and JetSmarter, combining its heavy jet subscription-based service targeting multinational corporations and ultra-high net worth individuals with XOJET’s super-midsize jet on demand service and JetSmarter’s digital booking platform for business aviation. Increased consolidation in our industry could further intensify the competitive environment we face.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We have applied to the US Patent and Trademark Office for a trademark on our name, Jet Token, and logo. We have also purchased our domain name, jettoken.com. We maintain sole ownership of the software code underlying the iOS app currently in development.

 

Employees

 

In light of our early stage of development, we have 2 full-time employees, our Executive Chairman and Treasurer and our Chief Executive Officer and President.

Regulation

 

Know your Customer / Anti-money Laundering Regulations

 

Each person or entity that establishes a wallet on our platform and purchases Jet Tokens will be subject to identity screening and background checks in compliance with Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) regulations (discussed below) and federal law regarding anti-money laundering and know your customers (“AML/KYC”) obligations. Jet Tokens may only be redeemed by our clients who have a wallet on our platform and are subject to these identity screening requirements. To establish a wallet on our platform for the purchase of Jet Tokens, all users must agree to the representations, terms and conditions regarding disclosure of their identity. In addition, prior to redemption and use of the Jet Tokens, all transferees of Jet Tokens must be approved members of our platform which is only possible after going through our application process, including stringent AML/KYC background checks and TSA anti-terrorism watch list checks.

 

Regulations Applicable to the Ownership and Operation of Our Aircraft

 

Once we have leased our aircraft, Gama Aviation, which will maintain and manage our aircraft, is subject to a high degree of regulation that affects our business, including regulations governing aviation activity, safety standards and environmental standards.

 

U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”)

 

The DOT primarily regulates economic issues affecting air transportation such as the air carrier’s financial and management fitness, insurance, consumer protection and competitive practices. The DOT has the authority to investigate and bring proceedings to enforce its regulations and may assess civil penalties, revoke operating authority and seek criminal sanctions. Our operating as an air charter carrier is regulated and certificated by the DOT. The DOT authorizes the carrier to engage in on-demand air transportation within the United States, its territories and possessions. The DOT can suspend or revoke that authority for cause, essentially stopping all operations.

 

Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”)

 

The FAA primarily regulates flight operations, in particular matters affecting air safety, such as airworthiness requirements for aircraft and pilot, mechanic, dispatcher and flight attendant certification. The FAA regulates:

 

aircraft and associated equipment (and all aircraft are subject to ongoing airworthiness standards),
maintenance and repair facility certification
certification and regulation of pilots and cabin crew, and
management of airspace.

 

In order to engage in air transportation for hire, each air carrier is required to obtain an FAA operating certificate authorizing the airline to operate using specified equipment in specified types of air service. In the case of our leased aircraft, it is a Part 135 license. The FAA has the authority to modify, suspend temporarily or revoke permanently the authority to provide air transportation for failure to comply with FAA regulations. The FAA can assess civil penalties for such failures or institute proceedings for the imposition and collection of monetary fines for the violation of certain FAA regulations. The FAA can revoke authority to provide air transportation on an emergency basis, without notice and hearing, where significant safety issues are involved. The FAA monitors compliance with maintenance, flight operations and safety regulations, maintains onsite representatives and performs inspections of a carrier’s aircraft, employees and records.

 

23

 

 

The FAA also has the authority to issue maintenance/airworthiness directives and other mandatory orders relating to aircraft and engines, fire retardant and smoke detection devices, collision and windshear avoidance systems, navigational equipment, noise abatement and the mandatory removal and replacement of aircraft parts that have failed or may fail in the future. FAA enforcement authority over aircraft includes the power to ground aircraft or limit their usage.

 

Transportation Security Administration

 

The TSA is responsible for oversight of passenger and baggage screening, cargo security measures, airport security, assessment and distribution of intelligence and security research and development. Air carriers are subject to TSA mandates and oversight in connection with screening passenger identities and screening baggage. TSA regulations governing passenger identification, which we will apply at the time of Jet Token purchase as well as at the time of travel, requires all passengers to provide identification using a valid verifying identity document. In addition, all passengers must provide their full name, date of birth, and gender, which is screened against the travel ban watch list in effect at the time of initial screening and at the time of travel.

 

All air carriers are also subject to certain provisions of the Communications Act of 1934 because of their extensive use of radio and other communication facilities and are required to obtain an aeronautical radio license from the Federal Communications Commission, or the FCC.

 

THE COMPANY’S PROPERTY

 

Jet Token leases space for its corporate headquarters, consisting of our office space and the use of shared conference facilities.

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 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. Unless otherwise indicated, the latest results discussed below are as of June 30, 2019.

 

Overview

 

We intend to combine concepts from fractional jet membership programs with lessons learned from building blockchain currencies. We believe the tokenization of flight hours and (as we mature) fractional membership programs offers the possibility of reduced transaction costs and, through the evolution of a marketplace, higher industry fleet utilization. We believe our purposeful enhancement of price discovery and reduced entry price have the potential to produce fairer and more inclusive results for aircraft owners and travelers alike.

 

Our company was formed on June 4, 2018 (“Inception”) and we have limited significant operating history, and no revenue generating activity to date. During the next twelve months, we intend to fund our operations with capital raised from this offering, our recent offering of non-voting Series CF Preferred Stock and potentially future debt or equity financing.  We cannot assure you that in the future we will be able to raise capital on acceptable terms or at all.  If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development and operations, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

Net loss  $(77,160)  $(23,115)

 

Our expenses for the twenty-six day period from Inception to June 30, 2018 represent primarily the costs associated with establishing the company. Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 consist primarily of operating costs for ongoing operations as well as undertaking a Regulation Crowdfunding offering. Expenses for professional services providers totaled approximately $61,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to approximately $23,000 during the period from Inception to June 30, 2018. Within the professional services cost for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was $20,000 for Sutton View Advisors LLC, a related party, for financial advisory services under an agreement entered into in October of 2018.

 

Once we are operational, we expect to generate revenue through: (1) charging service fees for the use of our booking platform (2) brokerage operations and (3) chartering of our leased HondaJets; and incur operating expenses related to the administration of our platform and payments to Gama Aviation for the management of our HondaJets. See the discussion under “Plan of Operation” below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2018, our cash and equivalents were $713 and as of June 30, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents were $7,764, representing the initial net proceeds of our then ongoing Series CF Preferred Stock offering less amounts used to fund our ongoing administrative expenses and offering costs. We are a “development stage company” and have not yet generated revenue. In September 2019, we launched the first iteration of our iOS app. Our cash utilization rate has generally been approximately $20,000 per month in 2019. Beginning in October 2019, this rate will increase to approximately $45,000 per month reflecting the hiring of our Chief Executive Officer and President as of September 23, 2019.

 

To date we have funded our operations through the issuance of equity securities. In 2018, the Company concluded its sale of Series Seed Preferred Stock, issuing 1,799,999 shares for gross proceeds of $54,000. In February 2019, the company commenced an offering under Regulation CF and completed the offering in October 2019. In this offering, we issued 17,826,385 shares of non-voting Series CF Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $1,069,583. In September 2019, we issued an additional 1,000,000 shares of non-voting Series CF Preferred Stock to a single individual in lieu of payment for marketing services provided.

 

Plan of Operation

 

We intend to continue operating our charter brokerage business assisted by the present version of our Jet Token App. Charter brokerage operations offer the benefit of immediate revenue generation and the development of a customer base in advance of fleet leasing. The ongoing costs of running our existing business, including executive compensation, facility leasing, subscription fees to Avinode for charter data and other ongoing overhead expenses are expected to be less than $600,000 for 2020.

 

In addition, we anticipate spending up to $150,000 in the second half of 2019 and in 2020 in connection with the development of our App. We have engaged a third party software developer based in Israel, which is developing version 2.0 of our App in order to add Android operating system functionality, to enable users to make payment directly through our App, either in cash or blockchain currency, and to automate the charter booking process, in particular to provide for instant confirmation of a booked flight.

 

Assuming we raise the maximum amount in this offering, we intend to lease 4 HondaJets, engage Gama Aviation to manage, maintain and operate this aircraft, and expand our staff as needed for customer service, marketing and advertising. Setting aside our revenue expectations for purposes of discussion, we estimate that the total cost of leasing and management of the 4 HondaJets, including payments to Gama Aviation and the Company’s overhead, will be $10.1 million on an annual basis, assuming a utilization rate of our aircraft of 600 hours per year. We further estimate our annual breakeven utilization to be approximately 465 hours per year at a total cost of approximately $8.6 million. Payments to both Honda Aircraft Company to Gama Aviation will vary depending on the number of aircraft leased and utilization rate of the aircraft. Assuming we raise the maximum amount in this offering and, in the worst-case scenario we are unable to generate any revenue whatsoever, the proceeds of the offering would fund these costs plus our ongoing operating costs and App development costs discussed above for slightly more than two years.

 

Assuming we raise 50% of the amount of the offering, we would lease 2 HondaJets rather than 4 and hire a proportionally reduced level of staff. At a utilization rate of 600 hours per year, we would anticipate our costs associated with the leasing and management of these aircraft and staff to be $5.1 million annually. We estimate that our annual breakeven utilization for two aircraft to be approximately 455 hours per year at a total cost of approximately $4.3 million. In a worse case scenario of no revenue, i.e. a zero utilization of our aircraft and no third party charter bookings, the proceeds of 50% of this offering would fund these costs plus our ongoing operating costs and App development costs discussed above for just under two years.

 

We estimate our breakeven point for the HondaJet at 465 hours per year at our presently negotiated cost structure and currently estimated ongoing operating costs. While we hope to reach that level of utilization within the first year of operation, to the extent that we do not, we would need to raise additional capital to continue funding our operations. In addition, to the extent that our definitive agreements with Honda Aviation Company and/or Gama are on terms less favorable to us, we would need to achieve a higher utilization rate to reach break even or would be required to raise additional capital sooner.

 

Our strategy also includes offering private jet time in a tokenized format through our Jet Token, if issued, and incorporating commercial flight booking as a complement to private jet charters into our App. While the cost of the development and incorporation of the creation and operation of our Jet Tokens are included in the App amounts noted above, we estimate that the cost of incorporating commercial flight booking functionality into our App, which we expect to accomplish by year end, could cost up to an additional $150,000 and may require us to raise additional capital if we are not able to fund it with funds from operations.

 

We also contemplate acquiring addition aircraft in the future to grow our business and we currently anticipate financing the acquisition of such aircraft through the sale fractional interests and/or advanced sales of flight time, rather than through additional capital raising.

 

Trend Information

 

Business jet hours flown in the US increased 0.81% year over year between 2017 and 2018 Business jet deliveries have similarly increased 0.9% year over year between 2017 and 2018 and are projected by Jetcraft to increase 5.2% between 2018 and 2020. Over the past five years business jet hours flow have grown 12.7%, a 2.4% compound annual rate of growth. According to Honeywell’s 2018 Annual Global Business Aviation Outlook, 3,444 new business jet deliveries are expected between 2019 and 2023 with 1,051 aircraft retired over the same period.

The Board of Directors authorized the issuance of the non-voting Series CF Preferred Stock and reserved 25,000,000 for issuance as non-voting Series CF Preferred Stock, as described below.

 

With respect to the remaining 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock available for issuance and subject to compliance with the applicable protective voting rights that have been granted in the Restated Certificate but otherwise without the consent or vote of the company’s stockholders, the company’s Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of one or more series of Preferred Stock with such rights, privileges, preferences, qualifications, limitations or restrictions as the Board of Directors determines.

Series CF Preferred Stock

 

Voting Rights

 

Holders of Series CF Preferred Stock do not have voting rights, except for those required by law.

 

Dividends

 

Holders of Series CF Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends declared on the voting Common Stock on a pro rata and as converted basis with the voting Preferred Stock.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or certain other events such as a merger involving a change of control or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the company (each a “Deemed Liquidation Event”), and after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock, holders of Series CF Preferred Stock will be entitled to an aggregate liquidation preference of $1,070,000, equivalent to $0.06 per share, that is senior to holders of Common Stock and Non-voting Common Stock.

 

After the payment of the full liquidation preference of the Series Seed Preferred Stock and the Series CF Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the company legally available for distribution (or the consideration received in a transaction), if any, will be distributed ratably to the holders of the voting Common Stock and Non-voting Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares of voting Common Stock held by each such holder and on an as converted basis in the case of the Non-voting Common Stock.

 

36

 

 

Conversion

 

Shares of Series CF Preferred Stock will convert automatically into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the company’s voting Common Stock:

 

upon the closing of the sale of shares of voting Common Stock to the public in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
upon the merger of the company with and into another entity.

 

Shares of Series CF Preferred Stock will convert into voting Common Stock at the then-applicable conversion rate, which is currently one share of voting Common Stock per share of Series CF Preferred Stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, reverse stock splits, certain consolidations or mergers, recapitalizations, reclassifications or other similar events affecting the voting Common Stock.

 

Distributions of Company Securities

 

In the event of a dividend or other distribution on voting Common Stock payable in additional securities of the company (other than shares of voting Common Stock), the company will make a dividend or other distribution to the holders of the Series CF Non-Voting Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the amount of securities as the holders of the Series CF Non-Voting Preferred Stock would have received on an as converted basis.

Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions

 

In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event, all holders of Series Seed Preferred Stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference that is senior to holders of voting Common Stock, Non-voting Common Stock and Series CF Preferred Stock. Holders of Series Seed Preferred Stock will receive a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) the original issue price of such shares plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock been converted into voting Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event.

 

If, upon such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event, the funds and assets that are distributable to the holders of Series Seed Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amount of their respective liquidation preference, then all of such funds will be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series Seed Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be entitled to receive.

Series Seed Preferred Stock Protective Provisions

 

So long as at least 25% of the originally issued shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock are outstanding, the company will not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Restated Certificate) the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock, voting on an as converted basis:

 

alter the rights, powers or privileges of the Series Seed Preferred set forth in the Restated Certificate or bylaws, as then in effect, in a way that adversely affects the Series Seed Preferred;

Subscription Procedure

 

After the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Non-voting Common Stock. The company may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their shares on the same date). Investors may subscribe by tendering funds by wire, credit or debit card or ACH transfer to the escrow account to be setup by the Escrow Agent. Tendered funds will remain in escrow until a closing has occurred. Upon closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to the company for its use.

 

The minimum investment in this offering is $99, or 330 shares of Non-voting Common Stock.

 

Investors will be required to complete a subscription agreement in order to invest. The subscription agreement includes a representation by the investor to the effect that, if the investor is not an “accredited investor” as defined under securities law, the investor is investing an amount that does not exceed the greater of 10% of his or her annual income or 10% of your net worth (excluding the investor’s principal residence).

 

The company has entered into an Escrow Services Agreement with Prime Trust LLC (the “Escrow Agent”) and StartEngine Primary. Investor funds will be held by the Escrow Agent pending closing or termination of the offering. All subscribers will be instructed by the company or its agents to transfer funds by wire, credit or debit card, or ACH transfer directly to the escrow account established for this offering. The company may terminate the offering at any time for any reason at its sole discretion. Investors should understand that acceptance of their funds into escrow does not necessarily result in their receiving shares; escrowed funds may be returned.

 

Prime Trust is not participating as an underwriter or placement agent or sales agent of this Offering and will not solicit any investment in the company, recommend the company’s securities or provide investment advice to any prospective investor, and no communication through any medium, including any website, should be construed as such, or distribute this Offering Circular or other offering materials to investors. The use of Prime Trust’s technology should not be interpreted and is not intended as an endorsement or recommendation by it of the company or this Offering. All inquiries regarding this Offering or escrow should be made directly to the company.

 

For its services, Escrow Agent will receive fees of approximately $300,000, assuming the maximum amount of $10,000,000 is raised in this offering.

 

41

 

 

Forum Selection Provision

 

The subscription agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering includes a forum selection provision that requires any claims against the company based on the agreement to be brought in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the agreement. Although we believe the provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of New York law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies and in limiting our litigation costs, to the extent it is enforceable, the forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. The company has adopted the provision to limit the time and expense incurred by its management to challenge any such claims. As a company with a small management team, this provision allows its officers to not lose a significant amount of time travelling to any particular forum so they may continue to focus on operations of the company. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. We believe that the exclusive forum provision applies to claims arising under the Securities Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision in this context. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Investors will not be deemed to have waived the company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

Selling Stockholders

 

No securities are being sold for the account of stockholders; all net proceeds of this offering will go to the company.

 

Investors’ Tender of Funds

 

After the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Non-voting Common Stock. We may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their shares on the same date). Upon closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to us for our use.

 

42

 

 

In order to invest, you will either subscribe to the offering via the Online Platform and will agree to the terms of the offering, the Subscription Agreement and any other relevant exhibit attached thereto. Payment for the Non-voting Common Stock shall be paid by the subscriber to Prime Trust, LLC (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement between us and the Escrow Agent, by ACH electronic transfer, wire transfer of immediately available funds, deposit check or other means approved by us prior to the applicable closing date.

  

Rewards

 

Investor Perks

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 the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period June 4, 2018 (Inception) through December 31, 2018.

JET TOKEN, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Jet Token Inc. was formed on June 4, 2018 (“Inception”) in the State of Delaware.   The financial statements of Jet Token Inc. (the “Company”) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company is headquartered in Nevada.

 

The Company intends to combine concepts from fractional jet membership programs with lessons learned from building blockchain currencies. The Company believes the tokenization of flight hours and (as the enterprise matures) fractional membership programs offers the possibility of reduced transaction costs and, through the evolution of a marketplace, higher industry fleet utilization. The Company’s purposeful enhancement of price discovery and reduced entry price have the potential to produce fairer and more inclusive results for aircraft owners and travelers alike.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Going Concern and Management Plans

The Company has only recently been formed, has limited significant operating history, and no revenue generating activity to date. These above matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with capital raised from its recent Regulation Crowdfunding campaign, from operating revenue that is expected to commence in the near term, and future debt or equity financing. The Company also has the ability to reduce cash burn to preserve capital. Accordingly, management believes that substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated.  There are no assurances that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company.  If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, the Company may be required to reduce the scope of its planned development and operations, which could harm its business, financial condition and operating results. The balance sheets do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X per Regulation A requirements. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements of the Company for the period ended December 31, 2018 contained herein. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.

JET TOKEN, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

  

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company does not have any financial instruments as of December 31, 2018.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has a limited operating history and has not generated revenue from intended operations. The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along with local, state, and federal governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include but are not limited to: changes in the airline industry, blockchain asset regulations by authorities, fuel and operating costs, changes to corporate governance best practices for executive flying, general demand for private jet travel, and market acceptance of the Company’s business model. These adverse conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 340”) with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs will be capitalized as deferred offering costs on the balance sheet. The deferred offering costs will be charged to stockholders’ deficit upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed

 

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees under ASC 718 Share-Based Payment. Under ASC 718, share-based compensation cost to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period. The fair value of each stock option or warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.

 

53

 

 

JET TOKEN, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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 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.

 

Income Taxes

The Company applies ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”).  Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts at each period end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions.  A tax benefit from an uncertain position is recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on its technical merit.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $17,000  primarily from net operating losses of approximately $82,000. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2018. Deferred tax assets will begin to expire in 20 years or 2038.

 

The Company is subject to tax in the United States (“U.S.”) and files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and Nevada state jurisdiction.  The Company is subject to U.S. Federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for all periods since Inception.  The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America which it believes to be creditworthy.  Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.  At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits.

 

NOTE 3 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is currently not involved with or know of any pending or threatening litigation against the Company or any of its officers.

 

NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of its preferred stock with par value of $0.0000001. Of the authorized number of preferred shares, 10,000,000 shares have been designated as Series Seed Preferred Stock, 25,000,000 have been designated Series CF Non-Voting Preferred Stock (“Series CF”), and 15,000,000 are undesignated. Each share of preferred stock can be converted to one share of common stock.

Stock Options

On June 4, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Jet Token, Inc. 2018 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “2018 Plan”).  The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of equity awards to employees, and consultants, to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.  Up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2018 Plan.

This is inclusive of amounts raised through June 30, 2019 described in Note 4.

Included in the employment offer letter was 2,700,000 options to purchase common stock at $0.06 per share. The options vest monthly over three years.
