SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Going Concern and Management Plans The Company has limited operating history and has incurred losses from operations since Inception. These matters raise concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with capital from its operations, drawdowns under its Share Purchase Agreement with GEM Yield LLC SCS and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited, proceeds from the exercise of warrants under its Securities Purchase Agreement with Ionic Ventures, LLC and other sales of debt or equity securities. Additionally, the Company may explore other potential sources of outside capital. The Company could, if necessary, reduce cash burn to preserve capital. There are no assurances, however, that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, the Company may be required to reduce the near-term scope of its planned development and operations, which could delay implementation of the Company’s business plan and harm its business, financial condition and operating results. The consolidated balance sheets do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements herein. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP, whereby Oxbridge is treated as the acquired company and Jet Token is treated as the acquirer (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Jet Token issuing stock for the net assets of Oxbridge, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Oxbridge were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Jet Token was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on the following predominate factors: ● Jet Token’s existing stockholders had the greatest voting interest in the combined entity; ● Jet Token existing stockholders had the ability to nominate a majority of the initial members of the combined entity’s board of directors; ● Jet Token’s senior management is the senior management of the combined entity; ● Jet Token is the larger entity based on historical operating activity and has the larger employee base; and ● The post-combination company assumed a Jet Token branded name: “Jet.AI Inc.” Reverse Stock Split On November 8, 2024, the Company announced a reverse common stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of one-for-225 225 Unaudited Interim Financial Statements Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jet.AI and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Summerlin Aviation LLC, Jet Token Software Inc., Jet Token Management Inc., Galilee LLC and Galilee 1 SPV LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization are those of Jet Token. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and losses per share, prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, have been retroactively restated based on shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Risks and Uncertainties The Company has a limited operating history, and to date, has only generated limited revenue from intended operations. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States (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, fuel and operating costs, adverse macro-economic conditions, changes to corporate governance best practices for executive flying, general demand for private jet travel, regulations on carbon emissions from aviation and market acceptance of the Company’s business model. These adverse conditions could affect the Company’s financial condition and the consolidated results of its operations. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Included within cash and cash equivalents is restricted cash of $ 500,000 Offering Costs The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs will be capitalized as deferred offering costs on the consolidated balance sheets. The deferred offering costs will be charged to stockholders’ deficit upon the completion of an offering or to expenses if the offering is not completed. Other Current Assets Other current assets include security deposits, which relate primarily to contractual prepayments to third-parties for future services, prepaid expenses and customer receivables for additional expenses incurred in their charter trips. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, property and equipment consisted entirely of equipment which is being depreciated over a three Internal Use Software The Company incurs software development costs to develop software programs to be used solely to meet its internal needs and cloud-based applications used to deliver its services. In accordance with ASC 350-40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software, the Company capitalizes development costs related to these software applications once a preliminary project stage is complete, funding has been committed, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has capitalized approximately $ 398,000 0 99,527 398,000 Investments in Joint Ventures In January 2023, the Company formed a 50/50 joint venture subsidiary with Great Western Air LLC dba Cirrus Aviation Services, 380 Software LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Costs and profits are to be shared equally. The Company accounts for these investments using the equity method whereby the initial investment is recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted by the Company’s share of income or loss from the joint venture. There is currently no financial activity or material assets to report for this joint venture beyond this initial investment. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception on an individual contract basis. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, non-current on the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Operating lease right-of-use assets are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The interest rate implicit in each lease was readily determinable to discount lease payments. The operating lease right-of-use assets include any lease payments made, including any variable amounts that are based on an index or rate, and exclude lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Renewal option periods are included within the lease term and the associated payments are recognized in the measurement of the operating right-of-use asset when they are at the Company’s discretion and considered reasonably certain of being exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected the practical expedient not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the short-term lease. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company follows ASC 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC 360-10 requires that if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets or asset groups may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability should be performed by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset’s carrying value to determine if a write-down to market value is required. Long-lived assets or asset groups that meet the criteria in ASC 360-10 as being held for sale are reflected at the lower of their carrying amount or fair market value, less costs to sell. Revenue Recognition In applying the guidance of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: ● Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; ● Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; ● Determination of the transaction price; ● Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and ● Recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue is derived from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, (i) fractional/whole aircraft sales, (ii) fractional ownership and jet card programs, (iii) ad hoc charter through the Company’s and (iv) aircraft management. Under the fractional ownership program, a customer purchases an ownership share in a jet which guarantees the customer access to the jet for a preset number of hours per year. The fractional ownership program consists of a down payment, one or more progress payments, a payment on delivery, a Monthly Management Fee (MMF) and an Occupied Hourly Fee (OHF). The jet card program provides the customer with a preset number of hours of guaranteed private jet access over the agreement term (generally a year) without the larger hourly or capital commitment of purchasing an ownership share. The jet card program consists of a fixed hourly rate for flight hours typically paid 100% up front. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the Company’s promised services, which generally occurs upon the flight hours being used. Any unused hours for the fractional jet and jet card programs are forfeited at the end of the contract term and are thus immediately recognized as revenue at that time. Deferred revenue is an obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has already received consideration. Upon receipt of a prepayment from a customer for all or a portion of the transaction price, the Company initially recognizes a contract liability. The contract liability is settled, and revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation to the customer at a future date. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company deferred $ 1,161,367 1,510,976 The Company also generates revenues from individual ad hoc charter bookings processed through the Company’s App, whereby the Company sources, negotiates, and arranges travel on a charter basis for a customer based on pre-selected options and pricing provided by the Company to the customer through the App. In addition, Cirrus Aviation markets charters on the Company’s aircraft for the Company’s benefit. Deferred revenue with respect to the App was $ 29,269 268,818 The Company utilizes certificated independent third-party air carriers in the performance of a portion of flights. The Company evaluates whether there is a promise to transfer services to the customer, as the principal, or to arrange for services to be provided by another party, as the agent, using a control model. The nature of the flight services the Company provides to members is similar regardless of which third-party air carrier is involved. The Company directs third-party air carriers to provide an aircraft to a member or customer. Based on evaluation of the control model, it was determined that the Company acts as the principal rather than the agent within all revenue arrangements. Owner charter revenue is recognized for flights where the owner of a managed aircraft sets the price for the trip. The Company records owner charter revenue at the time of flight on a net basis for the margin we receive to operate the aircraft. If the Company has primary responsibility to fulfill the obligation, then the revenue and the associated costs are reported on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred revenue with respect to the management of aircraft was $ 16,233 0 The following is a breakout of revenue components by subcategory for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. SCHEDULE OF BREAKOUT OF REVENUE COMPONENTS BY SUBCATEGORY Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Software App and Cirrus Charter $ 2,409,742 $ 1,860,795 $ 6,391,732 $ 4,413,745 Jet Card and Fractional Programs 547,186 731,716 1,783,066 2,090,401 Management and Other Services 960,465 774,678 2,675,077 1,531,359 Total revenues $ 3,917,393 $ 3,367,189 $ 10,849,875 $ 8,035,505 Flights Flights and flight-related services, along with the related costs of the flights, are earned and recognized as revenue at the point in time in which the service is provided. For round-trip flights, revenue is recognized upon arrival at the destination for each flight segment. Fractional and jet card members pay a fixed quoted amount for flights based on a contractual capped hourly rate. Ad hoc charter customers primarily pay a fixed rate for flights. In addition, flight costs are paid by members through the purchase of dollar-denominated prepaid blocks of flight hours (“Prepaid Blocks”), and other incidental costs such as catering and ground transportation are billed monthly as incurred. Prepaid Blocks are deferred and recognized as revenue when the member completes a flight segment. Aircraft Management The Company manages aircraft for owners in exchange for a contractual fee. Revenue associated with the management of aircraft also includes the recovery of owner-incurred expenses including maintenance coordination, cabin crew and pilots, as well as recharging of certain incurred aircraft operating costs and expenses such as maintenance, fuel, landing fees, parking and other related operating costs. The Company passes the recovery and recharge costs back to owners at either cost or a predetermined margin. Aircraft management-related revenue contains two types of performance obligations. One performance obligation is to provide management services over the contract period. Revenue earned from management services is recognized over the contractual term, on a monthly basis. The second performance obligation is the cost to operate and maintain the aircraft, which is recognized as revenue at the point in time such services are completed. Aircraft Sales The Company acquires aircraft from vendors and various other third-party sellers in the private aviation industry. The Company classifies the purchase as aircraft inventory on the consolidated balance sheets. Aircraft inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Sales are recorded on a gross basis within revenues and cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded aircraft sales of $ 0 Pass-Through Costs In applying the guidance of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are distinct performance obligations. The Company then assesses whether it is acting as an agent or a principal for each identified performance obligation and includes revenue within the transaction price for third-party costs when the Company determines that it is acting as the principal. Cost of Sales The cost of sales expenses includes costs incurred in providing air transportation services, such as chartering third-party aircraft, aircraft lease expenses, pilot training and wages, aircraft fuel, aircraft maintenance, and other aircraft operating expenses, each of which is discussed below. 1. Chartering Third-Party Aircraft: The cost of chartering third-party aircraft is recorded as a part of the cost of sales expense. These expenses include the fees paid to third-party operators for providing aircraft services on behalf of the company. Expenses are recognized in the income statement in the period when the service is rendered and are reported on an accrual basis. 2. Aircraft Lease Expenses: Aircraft lease expenses include the cost of leasing aircraft for the company’s operations. The lease expenses are recognized as an operating expense in the income statement over the lease term on a straight-line basis. 3. Pilot Training and Wages: Pilot training costs are expensed as incurred and are included in the cost of sales expenses. This encompasses expenses related to initial pilot training, recurrent training, and any additional required training programs. Pilot wages, including salaries, bonuses, and benefits, are also recognized as a part of the cost of sales expenses and are reported on an accrual basis. 4. Aircraft Fuel: The cost of aircraft fuel is recognized as an expense in the cost of sales category based on the actual consumption during flight operations. Fuel costs are recorded in the income statement in the period when the fuel is consumed and are reported on an accrual basis. 5. Aircraft Maintenance: Aircraft maintenance expenses include both routine and non-routine maintenance. Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a part of the cost of sales expense. Non-routine maintenance expenses, such as major repairs and overhauls, are capitalized and amortized over their expected useful life. The amortization expense is included in the cost of sales expense and is recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life. 6. Other Aircraft Operating Expenses: Other aircraft operating expenses include costs such as insurance, landing fees, navigation charges, and catering services. These expenses are recognized in the income statement as a part of the cost of sales expenses in the period when they are incurred and are reported on an accrual basis. Advertising Costs The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promoting the Company’s services as incurred. Such amounts are included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $ 632,380 380,699 Research and Development The Company incurs research and development costs during the process of researching and developing its technologies and future offerings. The Company’s research and development costs consist primarily of payments for third-party software development that is not capitalizable. The Company expenses these costs as incurred until the resulting product has been completed, tested, and made ready for commercial use. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period or over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services. The fair value of each stock option or warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Income Taxes The Company applies ASC 740 Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts at each period end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain position is recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on its technical merit. The Company is subject to tax in the United States and files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and Nevada state jurisdiction. The Company is subject to potential 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. Loss per Common Share The Company presents basic loss per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed as net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For periods in which the Company incurs a net loss, the effects of potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive and would be excluded from the diluted EPS calculations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, there were 21,336 16,331 9,686 119,304 8,032 0 Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains its cash with several major U.S. financial institutions which it believes to be creditworthy. Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $ 250,000 Segment Reporting The Company identifies operating segments as components of the Company for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), or decision-making group, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The CODM is the Company’s chief executive officer. The Company determined that the Company operates in a single operating and reportable segment, private aviation services, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue, for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance. All of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the U.S. and revenue from private aviation services is substantially earned from flights throughout the U.S. |
