−Removed: dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
−Removed: America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X
−Removed: and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
−Removed: Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have
−Removed: been condensed or omitted from these financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements.
−Removed: In the opinion of
−Removed: management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments
−Removed: necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented.
−Removed: Operating results for the three and nine months
−Removed: ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2023.

−Removed: The financial information
−Removed: as of December 31, 2022, is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
−Removed: for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.
−Removed: Principles of Consolidation
−Removed: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
−Removed: include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary.
−Removed: All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
−Removed: eliminated in consolidation.
−Removed: Emerging Growth Company
−Removed: The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
−Removed: as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”),
−Removed: and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that
−Removed: are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements
−Removed: of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports
−Removed: and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder
−Removed: approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
−Removed: Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts
−Removed: emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that
−Removed: is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered
−Removed: under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards.
−Removed: The JOBS Act provides that an emerging
−Removed: growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth
−Removed: companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable.
−Removed: The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period,
−Removed: which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company,
−Removed: as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
−Removed: This may make comparison of the Company’s
−Removed: condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth
−Removed: company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting
−Removed: standards used.
−Removed: Use of Estimates
−Removed: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
−Removed: GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
−Removed: liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment.
−Removed: It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of
−Removed: a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which management
−Removed: considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events.
−Removed: Accordingly, the actual
−Removed: results could differ significantly from those estimates.

+Added: (“Airship AI”).
+Added: Prior to the formation of Super Simple AI, Inc.
+Added: in 2022, the Company operated as Airship AI, Inc.
+Added: (formerly known as JDL Digital Systems, Inc.).
+Added: Super Simple AI, Inc.
+Added: was formed in January 2022 through a share exchange with JDL Digital Systems, Inc.
+Added: JDL Digital Systems, Inc.
+Added: was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on June 30, 2003.
+Added: On December 21, 2023, the Company completed the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2023 and amended on September 22, 2023, by and among BYTE Acquisition Corp.
+Added: (“BYTS”), BYTE Merger Sub, Inc., a Washington corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of BYTS (“Merger Sub”), and Airship AI.
+Added: Effective December 21, 2023, Merger Sub merged with and into Airship AI with Airship AI as the surviving corporation.
+Added: Thus, Airship AI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
+Added: In connection with the merger, Airship AI changed its name to “Airship AI, Inc.” See Note 13 —Reverse Recapitalization for additional information.
+Added: Fair Value Transactions
+Added: As a result of the merger, the Company entered into the following transactions that were measured at fair value and vary quarterly with the share price and other items.
+Added: Any change is non-cash and is recorded as a gain or loss in other income (expense).

+Added: The warrants are exerciseable at $ 11.50 per share.
+Added: See Note 12– Private Placement and Public Warrants for more information.
+Added: The Company is a robust AI-driven data management platform that solves complex data challenges for large institutions operating in dynamic and mission-critical environments with rapidly increasing volumes of data being ingested from a similarly rapidly growing number of data sources.
+Added: The Company solves these challenges by structuring “dark” or unstructured data at the edge, the location at which the data is generated and collected, and leveraging purpose-built AI models.
+Added: Unstructured, or “dark” data, which is typically categorized as qualitative data, cannot be processed and analyzed via conventional data tools and methods.
+Added: Conversely, structured data, typically categorized as quantitative data, is highly organized and easily decipherable by machine learning algorithms.
+Added: Structuring and then analyzing data using AI models at the edge, versus transmitting the data from the edge back to a central processing location for structuring and analysis, enables real-time decision making and data-driven operational efficiency.
+Added: The Company specializes in ingesting all available metadata from edge-based sensors used by government and law enforcement agencies around the world, including surveillance cameras (video), audio, telemetry, acoustic, seismic, and autonomous devices, along with large commercial corporations with fundamentally similar capabilities and requirements.
+Added: Data generated by these edge-based sensors, including video, can then be run through the Company’s trained AI models to detect objects present within the video frame.
+Added: Once an object is detected, for example an automobile, additional identifying characteristics of the object can be extracted from the image including the license plate characters and the make, model, and color of the automobile.
+Added: This process of analyzing, logging and categorizing ingested data is referred to as “structuring” the data.
+Added: Airship AI’s software allows customers to view structured data both in real-time as well as to conduct searches on the structured data at a later point in time.
+Added: Real-time structured data use includes, for example, alarms on a specific license plate or a specific make, model or color of automobile.
+Added: Non-real-time structured data use includes, for example, searching a database of video data that has been previously ingested and stored to find instances of a particular license plate being visible, along with other logged vehicle characteristics such as make, model and color of an automobile.
+Added: Additional edge deployed AI models enable similar object detection and recognition of common and custom trained objects, such as an aircraft, boat, person, animal, bag, or weapon.
+Added: Airship AI’s models provide similar data points for these object types allowing analysts the ability to be notified in real-time of the detection of a specified object and similarly search for historically detected objects.
+Added: Examples include detecting aircrafts and boats along with their respective tail numbers and hull registration numbers.
+Added: The Company’s AI modelling process starts with pre-trained AI models from its technology ecosystem partners which the Company then customizes using proprietary datasets tailored towards its customers’ unique workflow requirements.
+Added: Where customers have pre-existing AI models or engines, the Company integrates those models or engines into its edge platform allowing customers to leverage proprietary models within the Airship AI software ecosystem.
+Added: The Company’s primary offerings include Outpost AI, Acropolis, and Airship Command.
+Added: Its offerings allow customers to manage their data across the full data lifecycle, when and where they need it, using a highly secure permissioned based architecture.
+Added: The Company employed fifty-one employees as of March 31, 2024.
+Added: The employees are headquartered in Redmond, WA and are supported by a growing team at its Customer Center of Excellence located in Charlotte, NC.
+Added: The Company employed eight research and development personnel in Taiwan as of March 31, 2024.
+Added: The Company has incurred losses from operations the past few years and had an accumulated deficit of $ 49,441,169 as of March 31, 2024.
+Added: The accumulated deficit includes noncash charges of $ 30,881,253 and $ 19,626,884 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.
+Added: The Company also had at March 31, 2024 an adjusted working capital deficit of approximately $ 2,000,233 .
+Added: The adjusted net working capital deficit excludes current deferred revenue totaling $ 3,742,145 and convertible debt totaling $ 4,204,723 (which the Company expects to be converted to equity).
+Added: The Company has primarily funded its operations from operating cash, proceeds from debt borrowings, advances from founders, and proceeds from the merger.
+Added: The Company has received purchase orders from various federal government agency customers totaling over $13 million from which it shipped and started receiving cash in the first quarter of 2024.
+Added: Huang, the Company’s CEO, has committed to providing additional temporary funding if it is necessary.
+Added: Based on the Company’s actions undertaken during 2023 and 2024 to close customer deals, build sales pipeline, manage operating expenses and opportunities to raise additional capital after the merger, management believes that the Company’s current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.
+Added: The Company’s assessment of the period of time through which its financial resources will be adequate to support its operations is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties.
+Added: The Company’s actual results could vary as a result of its near and long-term future capital requirements that will depend on many factors.

+Added: Balances at US banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $ 250,000 .
+Added: The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk for cash on deposit.
+Added: Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
+Added: The Company primarily generates revenue from sales of systems and products and the related post contract support to customers.
+Added: The Company’s primary systems and products include Outpost AI, Acropolis and Airship Command.
+Added: To date, the majority of the Company’s product revenue that has been recognized consists primarily of a bundled offering of hardware and software which delivers on premise solutions to its customers.
+Added: Separate limited software subscription services have been delivered to customers including those customers that are able to operate in a cloud based environment.
+Added: The transaction price recognized as revenue represents the amount the Company expects to be entitled to and is primarily comprised of product revenue, net of returns and variable consideration, including sales incentives provided to customers.
+Added: Payment is typically due within 30 to 90 calendar days of the invoice date.
+Added: The Company recognizes revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services by following a five-step process:
+Added: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price, and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation, as further described below.
+Added: Product Revenue
+Added: Product revenue is derived primarily from sales of the Company’s system offerings, Outpost AI, Acropolis and Airship Command.
+Added: The Company recognizes product revenue at a point in time when title transfers, when the products are shipped, or when control of the system is transferred to the customer, which usually is upon delivery of the system and when contractual performance obligations have been satisfied.
+Added: Post Contract Support Revenue
+Added: Post Contract Support (“PCS”) revenue is derived primarily from the Company’s support and software maintenance agreements (“SMA”).
+Added: The Company’s PCS includes the right to receive, on a when and if available basis, future unspecified firmware upgrades and features as well as bug fixes, and email and telephone support.
+Added: The Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to the PCS performance obligation based on a cost-plus methodology and recognizes the associated revenue on a straight-line basis over the estimated term of the support period.
+Added: The Company’s support contracts are typically one to five years with an average of four years, payment is due within 30 to 90 calendars days of the invoice date and may include options to renew.
+Added: For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $59,361 and $47,104, respectively, related to one-year support contracts.
+Added: For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $ 1,116,893 and $ 1,191,711 , respectively, related to multi-year support contracts.
+Added: Other Services
+Added: The Company earns other service revenues from installation services, training and licensing which are short-term in nature and revenue for these services are recognized at the time of performance when the service is provided.
+Added: Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations
+Added: The Company’s contracts with customers often contain multiple performance obligations that can include three separate obligations:
+Added: (i) a hardware component (which may be bundled with hardware accessories) and the embedded firmware essential to the functionality of the hardware component delivered at the time of sale;
+Added: (ii) the right to the Company’s downloadable free application and software solutions, and (iii) the right for the customer to receive post contract support (“PCS”) after the initial sale.
+Added: The Company’s products and PCS offerings have significant standalone functionalities and capabilities.
+Added: Accordingly, the products are distinct from the Company’s PCS services as customers can benefit from the products without the PCS services and such PCS services are separately identifiable within the contracts.
+Added: The Company accounts for multiple agreements with a single customer as a single contract if the contractual terms and/or substance of those agreements indicate that they may be so closely related that they are, in effect, parts of a single contract.
+Added: The amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for delivering on the contract is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price.
+Added: The Company establishes the standalone selling price using the prices charged for a deliverable when sold separately.
+Added: If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price based on its pricing model and offering type (products or PCS services).
+Added: The Company has elected the practical expedient to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component as the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year.
+Added: The Company sells its products primarily through a direct sales force.
+Added: The Company considers revenue to be earned when all of the following criteria are met:
+Added: The Company has a contract with a customer that creates enforceable rights and obligations,
+Added: Promised performance obligations are identified,
+Added: The transaction price, or the amount the Company expects to receive, is determinable and
+Added: The Company has satisfied the performance obligations to the customer.
+Added: Transfer of control is evidenced upon passage of title and risk of loss to the customer unless the Company is required to provide additional services.
+Added: The Company’s short-term and long-term deferred revenue balances totaled $ 3,742,145 and $ 4,304,587 as of March 31, 2024.The Company’s short-term and long-term deferred revenue balances totaled $ 4,008,654 and $ 4,962,126 as of December 31, 2023.
+Added: Of the deferred revenue balance of $ 8,970,780 as of January 1, 2024, the Company recognized approximately $ 1,176,239 during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
+Added: Accounts Receivable and Provision for Credit Losses
+Added: The Company generally sells its products to large governmental entities and large corporations in the United States.
+Added: Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and are non-interest bearing.
+Added: The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.
+Added: 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326) on January 1, 2023.
+Added: ASC 326 adds to U.S.
+Added: GAAP the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, a measurement model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses.
+Added: Prior to the adoption of ASC 326, the Company evaluated receivables regularly and adjusted the allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly.
+Added: The Company determined estimates of uncollectible accounts receivable based primarily on actual historical bad debt and sales return trends, customers financial condition and general economic conditions.
+Added: Under the application of ASC 326, the Company’s historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses, as well as current economic and business conditions, and anticipated future economic events that may impact collectability.
+Added: In developing its expected credit loss estimate, the Company evaluated the appropriate grouping of financial assets based upon its evaluation of risk characteristics, including consideration of the types of products and services sold.
+Added: Account balances are written off against the allowance for expected credit losses after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
+Added: Occasionally certain long-standing customers, who routinely place large orders, will have unusually large receivables balances relative to the total gross receivables.
+Added: Management monitors the payments for these large balances closely and very often requires payment of existing invoices before shipping new sales orders.
+Added: As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have a reserve for credit losses as all accounts receivable are considered collectible.
+Added: Accounts receivable balances as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $ 1,704,429 and $ 1,648,904 , respectively.
+Added: Concentration of Credit and Sales Risk
+Added: The Company sells its product to commercial and government customers under agreements that are normally paid within 30 days of contract completion.
+Added: For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had revenue from 17 customers and one customer represented 78% of total revenue, although such a high level of customer concentration is not typical.
+Added: The primary reason for the increase in reliance on a single customer for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was due to one large order received in late 2023 which was fulfilled in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
+Added: As of March 31, 2024, two customers represent approximately 52% and 27% of outstanding account receivables.
+Added: Due to the nature of the customers and timely payment history, customer concentration and credit risk in account receivables is estimated to be minimal.
+Added: For the three months ended March 31, 2023, two customers represented 56% and 23% of total revenue from 23 customers, although such a high level of customer concentration is not typical.
+Added: The primary reason for the increase in reliance on a single customer for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was due to the lag-time in delivering on a large order received in late 2022 from one division of a customer which was not fulfilled until 2023.
+Added: As of December 31, 2023, three customers represent approximately 51%, 26% and 17% of outstanding account receivables.

+Added: Long-Lived Assets
+Added: The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment annually or when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
+Added: Long-lived assets under certain circumstances are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value.
+Added: Assets to be disposed of and assets not expected to provide any future service potential to the Company are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value (less the projected cost associated with selling the asset).
+Added: To the extent carrying values exceed fair values, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results.
+Added: The Company recorded impairment losses of $ 0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Fair Value Measurements
−Removed: Fair value is defined as the price that would
−Removed: be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
−Removed: GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.
−Removed: The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted
−Removed: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs
−Removed: (Level 3 measurements).
−Removed: These consist of:
−Removed: 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
−Removed: 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices
−Removed: for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active;
−Removed: 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions,
−Removed: such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
−Removed: In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure
−Removed: fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy.
−Removed: In those instances, the fair value measurement is
−Removed: categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

−Removed: Derivative Warrant Liabilities
−Removed: The Company does not use derivative instruments
−Removed: to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
−Removed: The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including
−Removed: issued share purchase warrants and forward purchase agreements, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features
−Removed: that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”).
−Removed: The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed
−Removed: at the end of each reporting period.
−Removed: The warrants issued as part of the Units sold
−Removed: in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) (including sale of the Over-Allotment
−Removed: Units) and the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4) are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815.
−Removed: Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at
−Removed: each reporting period.
−Removed: The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair
−Removed: value is recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
−Removed: The initial estimated fair value of the warrants
−Removed: was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation.
−Removed: The subsequent estimated fair value of the Public Warrants is based on the listed price in
−Removed: an active market for such warrants while the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants continues to be measured using a Monte Carlo
−Removed: simulation with the key inputs being directly or indirectly observable from the Public Warrants listed price.
−Removed: Offering Costs Associated with the Initial
−Removed: Public Offering
−Removed: Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting,
−Removed: underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering.
−Removed: Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value
−Removed: basis, compared to total proceeds received.
−Removed: Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred and

−Removed: is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
−Removed: Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible
−Removed: The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary
−Removed: shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480.
−Removed: Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption
−Removed: (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value.
−Removed: Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including
−Removed: Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon
−Removed: the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity.
−Removed: At all other times,
−Removed: Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity.
−Removed: The Company’s Public Shares feature certain redemption rights
−Removed: that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events.
−Removed: Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023 and December
−Removed: 31, 2022, 1,837,593 and 32,369,251 , respectively, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value
−Removed: as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
−Removed: Effective with the closing of the Initial Public
−Removed: Offering (including sale of the Over-Allotment Units), the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount,
−Removed: which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.
−Removed: The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB
−Removed: ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s
−Removed: financial statement and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement

−Removed: For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not
−Removed: to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
−Removed: The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s
−Removed: only major tax jurisdiction.
−Removed: The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax
−Removed: There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2023 or December
−Removed: The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material
−Removed: deviation from its position.
−Removed: The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands

−Removed: Net (Loss) Income Per Ordinary Share
−Removed: The Company complies with accounting and disclosure
−Removed: requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as
−Removed: Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption and non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares.
−Removed: and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares.
−Removed: Net (loss) income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net
−Removed: (loss) income by the weighted average of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.
−Removed: The calculation of diluted net (loss) income per
−Removed: ordinary shares does not consider the effect of the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 16,699,626
−Removed: ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events and their inclusion
−Removed: would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.
−Removed: As a result, diluted net (loss) income per share is the same as basic net (loss)
−Removed: income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
−Removed: Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A
−Removed: ordinary shares is excluded from net (loss) income per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

+Added: Fair value is 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 on the measurement date.
+Added: This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
+Added: The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs).
+Added: The hierarchy consists of three levels:
+Added: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
+Added: Level 2 — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable;
+Added: Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
+Added: The recorded value of other financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are based upon the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities.
+Added: The Company recorded its Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note, earnout liability, and the warrants that were issued with the Convertible Promissory Note at fair value, remeasured on a recurring basis and considered them as Level 3 instruments.
+Added: The public and private warrants were considered Level 1 and 2 instruments, respectively.
+Added: The method of determining the fair value of the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note and attached warrants is described below.
+Added: The Company classifies as liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net- cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company) or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement).
+Added: Accounting for Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes at Fair Value
+Added: The Company has elected the fair value option to account for the senior secured convertible note that was issued on June 22, 2023 and the convertible notes that were issued in October and November 2023 and record them at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
+Added: As a result of applying the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the convertible notes are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred.
+Added: Values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
+Added: The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the liability.
+Added: Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and determine an estimated fair value.
+Added: The use of different market assumptions or valuation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair values.
+Added: As of March 31, 2024, the Company has used a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model that factors in potential outcomes being consummated, such as the convertible notes being repaid in cash and the convertible notes being converted to common stock.
+Added: All of these scenarios take into consideration the terms and conditions of the underlying convertible notes plus potential changes in the underlying value of the common stock.
+Added: For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $ 2,039,377 for the change in fair value of the notes and is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
+Added: The Company believes accounting for the convertible notes at fair value better aligns the measurement methodologies of assets and liabilities, which may mitigate certain earnings volatility.
+Added: Derivative Liabilities and Earnout Liabilities
+Added: The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
+Added: The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued share purchase warrants and earnout shares to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”).
+Added: The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
+Added: The Company classifies as liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net- cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company) or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement).
+Added: At the closing of the merger, the Company assumed 515,000 private placement warrants and 16,184,612 public warrants.
+Added: As of March 31, 2024, there were 515,000 private placement warrants and 16,159,112 public warrants outstanding.
+Added: Upon consummation of the merger, the Company evaluated the warrants and concluded that they did not meet the criteria to be classified within the stockholders’ deficit.
+Added: Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period.
+Added: The initial estimated fair value of the warrants was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation.
+Added: The subsequent estimated fair value of the public warrants is based on the listed price in an active market for such warrants while the fair value of the private placement warrants continues to be measured using a Monte Carlo simulation with the key inputs being directly or indirectly observable public warrants listed price.
+Added: Since the public and private warrants meet the definition of a derivative, the Company recorded the public and private warrants as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value upon the merger closing, with subsequent changes in the fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations at each reporting date.
+Added: At the closing of the merger, the Airship AI securityholders that hold shares of common stock of Airship AI, Airship AI options, Airship AI earnout warrants or Airship AI SARs have the contingent right to receive up to 5 .0 million additional shares of common stock, subject to certain contingencies.
+Added: These earnout shares have been categorized into two components:
+Added: (i) the vested shares that are associated with stockholders with vested equity at the closing of the merger that will be earned upon achievement of the earnout milestones and (ii) the unvested shares associated with stockholders with unvested equity at the closing of the merger that will be earned over the remaining service period with the Company on their unvested equity shares and upon achievement of the earnout milestones.
+Added: The earnout shares associated with vested shares are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, as the events that determine the number of earnout shares required to be released or issued, as the case may be, include events that were not solely indexed to the fair value of common stock of the Company.
+Added: The earnout shares were measured at the merger closing and subsequently measured at each reporting date until settled or when they met the criteria for equity classification.
+Added: Accordingly, the Company recognizes the earnout shares as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period.
+Added: The earnout shares were valued using a Monte Carlo analysis.
+Added: At the closing of the merger, the unvested earnout shares were considered to be equity instruments and valued at approximately $ 2,675,000 .
+Added: This amount will be recognized as stock-based compensation going forward over the five-year vesting period.
+Added: Derivative warrant and earnout shares liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of significant current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
+Added: Stock-Based Compensation
+Added: The Company has share-based compensation plans under which employees, consultants, suppliers and directors may be granted restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, unvested earnout shares and warrants to purchase shares of common stock at the fair market value at the time of grant.
+Added: Stock-based compensation cost is measured by the Company at the grant date and the fair value of the award is recognized as an expense, over the requisite service period which is generally the vesting period.
+Added: The Company adjusts stock-based compensation for changes to the estimate of expected equity award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture experience.
+Added: The effect of adjusting the forfeiture rate is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed.
+Added: Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method.
+Added: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.
+Added: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
+Added: The Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets depends upon future taxable income, as well as the limitations discussed below.
+Added: For financial reporting purposes, a deferred tax asset must be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized prior to expiration.
+Added: The Company considers historical and future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years, and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the need for valuation.
+Added: Comprehensive Gain (Loss)
+Added: Comprehensive gain (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from non-owner sources.
+Added: There was other comprehensive gain of $ 3,239 and $ 0 related foreign exchange translation for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
+Added: Going Concern Assessment
+Added: The Company applies Accounting Standards Codification 205-40 (“ASC 205-40”), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern , which the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued to provide guidance on determining when and how reporting companies must disclose going concern uncertainties in their consolidated financial statements.
+Added: ASC 205-40 requires management to perform assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s consolidated financial statements (or within one year after the date on which the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable).
+Added: Further, a company must provide certain disclosures if there is “substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern” and management plans to alleviate the going concern.
+Added: Use of Estimates
+Added: In preparing these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
+Added: Actual results could differ from those estimates.
+Added: Significant estimates and assumptions included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to the calculation of revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, valuation of common stock, valuation of senior secured convertible notes, warrant liability, earnout share liabilities, accruals for potential liabilities including income taxes, valuation of deferred tax assets and valuation assumptions related to share-based compensation.
+Added: Net Loss per Share – Under the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented.
+Added: Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
+Added: Deemed dividends to preferred shareholders increase the net loss available to common shareholders and impact the net loss per share calculation.
+Added: As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 23,159,119 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
+Added: As of March 31, 2024, there were (i) options outstanding for the purchase of 5,114,589 shares of the Company’s common stock;
+Added: (ii) SARs for the purchase of 1,758,105 shares of Company’s common stock;
+Added: (iii) warrants for the purchase of 19,364,014 shares of the Company’s common stock;
+Added: and (iv) 931,794 shares of the Company’s common stock reserved and are issuable upon conversion of convertible debentures .
+Added: All of the foregoing shares could potentially dilute future earnings per share but are excluded from the March 31, 2024, calculation of net loss per share because the impact is antidilutive.
+Added: As of March 31, 2023, the Company had 22,812,048 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
+Added: As of March 31, 2023, there were (i) options outstanding for the purchase of 4,257,151 shares of the Company’s common stock;
+Added: and (ii) SARs for the purchase of 1,758,105 shares of Company’s common stock .
+Added: All of the foregoing shares could potentially dilute future earnings per share but are excluded from the March 31, 2023, calculation of net loss per share because the impact is antidilutive.
+Added: Reportable Segments
+Added: The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC, Topic 280, Segment Reporting , requires that an enterprise report selected information about reportable segments in its financial reports issued to its stockholders.
+Added: Management monitors the revenue and expense components of the various products and services the Company offers, but operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a corporation-wide basis in comparison to a business plan which is developed each year.
+Added: Accordingly, all operations are considered by management to be one operating segment and one reportable segment as contained in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss to the consolidated financial statements.
+Added: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
+Added: All recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

+Added: The Company’s remaining net revenue of approximately $ 1.2 million and $ 1.2 million relates to PCS revenue and other services which are transferred over time.
+Added: Within each product category, contract terms, conditions and economic factors affecting the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty around revenue recognition and cash flow are substantially similar.
+Added: Contract Balances
+Added: A receivable is recognized in the period the Company delivers goods or provides services or when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional.
+Added: The Company usually does not record contract assets because the Company has an unconditional right to payment upon satisfaction of the performance obligation, and therefore, a receivable is more commonly recorded than a contract asset.
+Added: Receivables are generally paid within thirty days and there is no financing element to the customer contracts.
+Added: As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there are no unbilled receivable balances.

+Added: Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract
+Added: The Company does not pay any material variable compensation to obtain a customer contract.
+Added: Additionally, the majority of the Company’s cost of fulfillment as a seller of products is classified as inventory and then cost of revenue when the product is sold.
+Added: Other costs of contract fulfillment such as software maintenance are expensed in the period incurred and align with when the revenue is amortized.
+Added: Notes Payable, Line of Credit and Convertible Notes Payable
+Added: On June 22, 2023, the Company issued a $ 2,000,000 senior secured convertible promissory note to Platinum Capital Partner, Inc.

+Added: 50% of the earnout shares if, at any time during the period starting on the closing date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the closing date, over any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period the VWAP of the common stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share (the “Second Share Price Performance Milestone”).
+Added: Further, the earnout milestones are also considered to be met if the Company undergoes a change of control.
+Added: A change of control is defined as (i) any transaction or series of related transactions that results in any Person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) acquiring equity interests that represent more than 50% of the total voting power of the Company or (ii) a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
+Added: Notwithstanding anything in the Merger Agreement to the contrary, any earnout shares issuable under the Merger Agreement to a Airship AI securityholder in respect of each Airship AI option or Airship AI SAR held by such holder as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger shall be earned by such holder on the later of (i) the occurrence of the applicable earnout milestone, and (ii) the date on which the option in respect of such Airship AI option or SAR in respect of such Airship AI SAR, as applicable, becomes vested pursuant to its applicable vesting schedule, but only if such holder continues to provide services (whether as an employee, director or individual independent contractor) to the Company or one of its subsidiaries through such date.
+Added: Notwithstanding the foregoing, any earnout shares that are not earned by a Airship AI securityholder in respect of its options or SARs on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing date of the merger shall be forfeited without any consideration.
+Added: Any earnout shares that are forfeited pursuant to the Merger Agreement shall be reallocated to the other Airship AI securityholders who remain entitled to receive earnout shares in accordance with their respective earnout pro rata shares.
+Added: These earnout shares have been categorized into two components:
+Added: (i) the “Vested Shares” - those associated with earnout holders with vested equity at the closing of the merger that will be earned upon achievement of the earnout milestones and (ii) the “Unvested Shares” - those associated with earnout holders with unvested equity at the closing of the merger that will be earned over the remaining service period with the Company on their unvested equity shares and upon achievement of the earnout milestones.
+Added: The Vested Shares, which represent 95% of the total earnout shares are classified as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations due to the variability in the number of earnout shares at settlement which could change upon a change of control event.
+Added: The earnout arrangement contains a settlement provision that violates the indexation guidance under ASC 815-40.
+Added: The Unvested Shares are equity-classified share-based compensation to be recognized over time under ASC 718 due to the service component.
+Added: At the closing of the merger on December 21, 2023, the earnout liability had an initial fair value of $ 27,109,777 , which was recorded as a long-term liability and a reduction to additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheet.
+Added: As of December 31, 2023, the earnout liability had decreased to $ 5,133,428 as a result of the decline in the Company’s share price since the closing of the merger.
+Added: As of March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the earnout liability increased to $ 26,618,278 primarily due to the increase in the Company’s share price, which resulted in a loss due to the change in fair value of the earnout liability of $ 21,484,850 and is recorded on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
+Added: See Note 14– Fair Value Measurements for more information.
+Added: As of March 31, 2024, the earnout shares were not earned as none of the earnout milestones have been met.
+Added: Fair Value Measurements
+Added: The following table sets forth by level within the ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, fair value hierarchy of the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024:
+Added: March 31, 2024
+Added: Earnout liability
+Added: Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes
+Added: Warrant liability (Public Warrants)
+Added: Warrant liability (Private Warrants)
+Added: Total liabilities measured at fair value
+Added: The following table sets forth by level within the ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, fair value hierarchy of the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023:
+Added: December 31, 2023
+Added: Earnout liability
+Added: Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes
+Added: Warrant liability (Public Warrants)
+Added: Warrant liability (Private Warrants)
+Added: Total liabilities measured at fair value
+Added: The estimated fair value of the earnout liability was determined using a Monte Carlo Model.
+Added: The assumptions utilized in the calculation are based on the achievement of certain stock price milestones including projected stock price, volatility, probability of meeting the federal law enforcement agency growth and risk-free rate.
+Added: The following assumptions were used in the simulation at each valuation date:
+Added: March 31, 2024
+Added: December 31, 2023
+Added: Risk-free interest rate
+Added: Expected term (in years)
+Added: Expected volatility
+Added: Dividend yield
+Added: The assumptions also included the probability of meeting the federal law enforcement agency growth milestone at 100%.
+Added: The initial estimated fair value of the private warrants was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation.
+Added: The estimated fair value of the public warrants is based on the listed price in an active market for such warrants and the fair value of the private placement warrants continues to be measured based on the public warrants listed price.
+Added: The estimated fair value of the senior secured convertible promissory notes was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model that factors in potential outcomes being consummated, such as the convertible notes being repaid in cash and the convertible notes being converted to common stock.
+Added: All of these scenarios take into consideration the terms and conditions of the underlying convertible notes plus potential changes in the underlying value of the common stock.
+Added: The following assumptions were used in the simulation:
+Added: March 31, 2024
+Added: December 31, 2023
+Added: Effective discount rate
+Added: Expected term (in years)
+Added: Expected volatility
+Added: Dividend yield
