−Removed: are primarily an aircraft development company.
−Removed: We also provide real-time location systems (“RTLS”) for the industrial sector,
−Removed: which was Legacy Inpixon’s focus prior to the closing of the XTI Merger.
−Removed: Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, the Company is developing a vertical
−Removed: takeoff and landing (“VTOL”) airplane that is designed to take off and land like a helicopter and cruise like a fixed-wing
−Removed: business airplane.
−Removed: We believe our initial configuration, the TriFan 600 airplane, will be one of the first civilian fixed-wing VTOL airplane
−Removed: that offers the speed and comfort of a business airplane and the range and versatility of VTOL for a wide range of customer applications,
−Removed: including private aviation for business and high net worth individuals, emergency medical services, and regional charter air travel.
−Removed: 2013, we have been engaged primarily in developing the aerodynamic performance and top-level engineering design of the TriFan 600, building
−Removed: and testing a two-thirds scale unmanned version of the TriFan 600, generating pre-orders for the TriFan 600, and seeking funds from investors
−Removed: to enable the Company to advance the detailed design and certification of the TriFan 600, and to eventually engage in commercial production
−Removed: and sale of the TriFan 600.
−Removed: We continue to work to optimize our airplane design for both manufacturing
−Removed: and certification.
−Removed: The development of a VTOL airplane that meets our business requirements demands significant design and development
−Removed: efforts on all facets of the airplane.
−Removed: We believe that by bringing together a mix of talent with VTOL and traditional commercial aerospace
−Removed: backgrounds, we have built a team that enables us to move through the design, development, and certification of our VTOL airplane with
−Removed: the FAA in an efficient manner, thus allowing us to achieve our end goal of bringing to market our airplane as efficiently as possible.
−Removed: To date, we have not generated revenue from the sale of aircraft, as
−Removed: we continue to design, develop, and seek the governmental approvals necessary for our VTOL airplane to enter into service.
−Removed: to raise capital for the foreseeable future to continue to fund our efforts to bring our VTOL airplane to market.
−Removed: The amount and timing
−Removed: of any future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of the design and development of our airplane
−Removed: and future manufacturing operations, as well as our progress in obtaining necessary FAA certifications and other government approvals.
−Removed: For example, any significant delays in obtaining such FAA certifications and other government approvals will likely require us to raise
−Removed: additional capital and delay our generation of revenues from aircraft sales.
−Removed: RTLS solutions leverage cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, AI, and big data analytics to provide real-time tracking and monitoring
−Removed: of assets, machines, and people within industrial environments.
−Removed: With our RTLS solutions, businesses can achieve improved operational
−Removed: efficiency, enhanced safety and reduced costs.
−Removed: By having real-time visibility into operations, industrial organizations can make informed,
−Removed: data-driven decisions, minimize downtime, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
−Removed: addition to advancing the design and certification of the TriFan 600 for commercial production and sale, and in order to continue to respond
−Removed: to rapid changes and required technological advancements, increase our opportunities for revenue generation, and increase shareholder
−Removed: value, we are exploring strategic transactions and opportunities that we believe will enhance shareholder value.
−Removed: We are particularly focused
−Removed: on delivering leading, business-focused solutions that seek to shape the future across powered-lift aircraft solutions.
−Removed: Expanding into
−Removed: autonomous, remotely operated drones is key to our strategic vision.
−Removed: By combining drone technology with VTOL innovation, we believe we
−Removed: are positioning XTI to accelerate the development of both unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and VTOL solutions, expand its market presence,
−Removed: and create new opportunities across multiple industries.
−Removed: We will also be opportunistic and may consider other strategic and/or attractive
−Removed: transactions, which may include, but not be limited to other alternative investment opportunities, such as minority investments and joint
−Removed: If we make any acquisitions in the future, we expect that we may pay for such acquisitions with cash, equity securities and/or
−Removed: debt in combinations appropriate for each acquisition.
−Removed: In this regard, in January of this year, we entered into a non-binding memorandum
−Removed: of understanding to acquire a minority equity interest in an AI-powered, autonomous drone company.
−Removed: We may enter into one or more additional
−Removed: non-binding letters of intent in connection with our due diligence and strategic transaction evaluation process.
−Removed: In addition to these
−Removed: strategic initiatives, we also intend to invest in a variety of thought leadership marketing and branding initiatives to increase market
−Removed: visibility and enhance our brand strength and credibility within the powered lift aircraft market.
−Removed: Air Travel Market
−Removed: In today’s regional air travel market, customers have two choices
−Removed: – either a fixed-wing airplane, which requires a runway, or a helicopter, which is slower, comparatively expensive, and relatively
−Removed: range limited.
−Removed: What we intend to bring to market is a unique airplane combining the speed, range and comfort of a fixed-wing business
−Removed: airplane with the point-to-point VTOL capability of a helicopter.
−Removed: Our target customers for the TriFan 600 include corporate and individual
−Removed: business aircraft and helicopter operators, charter operators, major and regional airlines, and air medical operators.
−Removed: In terms of current
−Removed: market size, the 2024 year-end General Aviation Aircraft Shipment Reports of the General Aviation Aircraft Manufacturers Association
−Removed: (“GAMA”) reports total general (civilian, non-commercial) aircraft and helicopter shipments billings at approximately $31.2
−Removed: billion for 2024, an approximate 12% increase from 2023.
−Removed: We believe the anticipated differentiating performance capabilities
−Removed: of the TriFan 600 – the unique versatility delivered by combining the best of a helicopter and a business airplane in one platform
−Removed: which we expect will result in significant time and cost savings – will be attractive to customers and disruptive in existing markets.
−Removed: As of the date of this filing, we have conditional pre-orders under a combination of aircraft purchase agreements, non-binding reservation
−Removed: deposit agreements and options for the delivery of more than 290 airplanes.
−Removed: See “- Customers - TriFan 600” for more information.
−Removed: In contrast to the eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft,
−Removed: which are short-range air taxis for urban transport being developed by other companies (and not yet certified by the FAA), the TriFan
−Removed: 600 is expected to have significantly greater range of 700 miles in addition to the flexibility to take off and land vertically (VTOL),
−Removed: conventionally (CTOL), or on short runways (STOL).
−Removed: With our initial configuration of two turboshaft engines, we expect that our customers
−Removed: will be able to use much of the existing infrastructure on the ground, including more than 5,000 existing helipads in the U.S.
−Removed: as well as other landing areas where it is safe and legal to land and take off, including job sites, grassy areas, driveways, backyards,
−Removed: other paved and improved surfaces, hospital helipads and regional airports, which may not contain the requisite charging infrastructure
−Removed: for eVTOL aircraft.
−Removed: We expect that the TriFan’s speed, range, and comfort, as well as its flexibility in takeoff and landing sites
−Removed: will offer a significant competitive advantage over eVTOL aircraft because eVTOL aircraft depend on the availability of battery or hydrogen
−Removed: charging infrastructure which is not commercially available yet.
−Removed: We expect that the TriFan 600 will provide increased connectivity between
−Removed: communities as well as generate time savings for travelers.
−Removed: As technology matures, we envision a transition to hybrid-electric propulsion
−Removed: for future TriFan configurations in our pursuit of taking aviation to a greener future.
−Removed: We believe our phased, measured-risk approach
−Removed: is prudent given the lack of technology readiness of battery and hydrogen propulsion, limited and slow progress with respect to regulatory
−Removed: guidance regarding novel propulsion technologies, and expected long timelines to develop a widespread charging network.
−Removed: With time, we
−Removed: anticipate that owners and users of the TriFan will be able to access many of the landing pads, vertiports, and other VTOL aircraft infrastructure
−Removed: that we expect will accommodate eVTOL air taxis, which should allow the Company to participate to some extent in the future Advanced Air
−Removed: Mobility market.
−Removed: As of the date of this filing, the base price of the TriFan 600 airplane
−Removed: is approximately $10 to $12 million.
−Removed: The announced price for our only known direct competitor for a civilian fixed-wing VTOL airplane
−Removed: is between $20 million and $30 million.
−Removed: The TriFan 600’s $10 to $12 million base price falls within the price range ($6.5 million
−Removed: - $12 million) for many of the business airplanes with whom we expect the TriFan 600 to compete.
−Removed: Unlike the TriFan 600, these airplanes
−Removed: require runways for takeoff and landing, which adds to total trip times.
−Removed: The $10 to $12 million base price is above the initial purchase
−Removed: price range ($5.5 million to $8.2 million) for helicopters with whom the TriFan 600 expects to compete.
−Removed: However, the TriFan 600 will be
−Removed: capable of completing missions at approximately twice the speed of competing helicopters.
−Removed: Therefore, the mission time compared to helicopters
−Removed: is expected to be reduced by 40% - 50% and mission costs and emissions will also be reduced.
−Removed: As a result, we expect the TriFan 600’s
−Removed: five-year cost of ownership (initial base purchase price plus annual direct operating costs) to be lower than much of the helicopter competition.
−Removed: Our aviation business
−Removed: is focused on the development of our initial configuration of the TriFan 600, which is a seven-occupant airplane intended to provide
−Removed: point-to-point air travel over distances of up to 985 miles, fly at twice the speed of a helicopter and cruise at altitudes up to 25,000
−Removed: We believe that the target TriFan 600 airplane will provide unique advantages over existing helicopters, turboprop and light jet
−Removed: Since the airplane will take off and land vertically, we anticipate that the TriFan 600 will generate significant time savings
−Removed: on a typical 500-mile trip by traveling point-to-point or utilizing more convenient existing ground and airspace infrastructure (such
−Removed: as helipads) to avoid or reduce the time traveling on the ground to and from an airport.
−Removed: The TriFan 600 also is expected to have the
−Removed: capability to take off and land conventionally, if a runway is available.
−Removed: This added capability is expected to increase range and payload
−Removed: and expand utility.
−Removed: We plan to either assemble the TriFan 600 airplane in-house with supplier-provided
−Removed: components or engage a third-party manufacturer to assemble the airplane.
−Removed: By combining existing and future state-of-the-art technologies
−Removed: and components (including turbine engines, composites, software, advanced propulsion and fuel systems) into our patented proprietary design,
−Removed: we believe the TriFan 600 will be a commercially successful airplane for the business and other aviation markets.

−Removed: indoor space.
−Removed: The technology allows for detailed understanding of space and resource utilization,
−Removed: and in security applications it enables detection and identification of authorized and unauthorized
−Removed: devices, prevention of rogue devices through alerts based on rules when unknown devices are
−Removed: detected in restricted areas and asset tracking with centimeter level precision.
−Removed: Innovation Powered by Machine Learning
−Removed: 2025, we intend to continue to explore the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to improve positioning
−Removed: accuracy, reliability and range which would provide additional benefits to existing customers and unlock new opportunities for our RTLS
−Removed: Here is an example of how we are utilizing AI to enhance our technology:
−Removed: due to fluctuating frequency plotting in the beginning
−Removed: of a project, but after applying advanced AI filter methods and machine learning algorithms we can better understand the radio frequency
−Removed: (RF) behavior as to how the time difference of arrival (TDoA) sync path should be configured in the specific environment considering
−Removed: several attributes.
−Removed: Following these enhancements, we believe our products will be able to assist in providing predictive, more accurate,
−Removed: bidirectional location information to secure and optimize our deployments using hardware that includes iOS and Android smartphones, IoT
−Removed: sensors, access points or BLE beacons.
−Removed: on research and development (R&D) efforts in 2024, we intend to continue to study the worldwide 5G deployments, both public and private,

−Removed: Furthermore, we are continuing to enhance the integration of ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence (AI), into our RTLS
−Removed: This innovative integration expands the capabilities of our RTLS, enabling rapid, AI-assisted insights as well as interactive
−Removed: discussions in a conversational medium.
−Removed: Operations managers in production and logistics, in particular, stand to benefit from this transformative
−Removed: and Development
−Removed: We plan to seek FAA certification
−Removed: of the TriFan 600 under the FAA’s new “Powered Lift” aircraft category.
−Removed: Initial concept and engineering analysis
−Removed: for the TriFan 600 was completed in July 2015.
−Removed: Legacy XTI built a 65% scale prototype and in May 2019 began initial hover tests.
−Removed: The prototype was successfully hover-tested multiple times.
−Removed: Subsequent to raising private funding during 2021, Legacy XTI hired a
−Removed: number of engineers (employees and consultants) to establish its core engineering organization.
−Removed: Additionally, Legacy XTI retained
−Removed: consulting firms to provide specialized engineering technical knowledge to complement XTI’s team.
−Removed: In 2022, Legacy XTI updated the exterior design of the TriFan 600,
−Removed: including the location of the wing fans and the horizontal tail, to improve the performance and efficiency of the airplane.
−Removed: engineering for other systems, including the propulsion system, landing gear, cockpit visibility, cabin sizing and structural integrity
−Removed: were also advanced during 2022 and 2023.
−Removed: Legacy XTI identified the initial supply chain and began negotiating with key suppliers globally.
−Removed: As a result of these efforts, Legacy XTI has established a baseline bill-of-materials.
−Removed: a series of scaled model tests and Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis, the engineering team further enhanced the aerodynamic
−Removed: performance and stability of the TriFan 600 and released its latest configuration, C211.2, and included a larger vertical stabilizer,
−Removed: enhanced duct and stator designs, new engine air inlets and exhaust, an updated drive train, and additional system design.
−Removed: configuration is currently undergoing CFD analysis at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
−Removed: In addition, the engineering team continues to evolve
−Removed: the Digital Mockup (DMU), mass properties (i.e., weight) and Global Finite Element Modeling (GFEM) analysis.
−Removed: In 2024, the Company engaged
−Removed: the FAA in a General Familiarization (Gen Fam) briefing for the TriFan 600.
−Removed: Follow-up meetings with FAA Subject Matter Experts (SME) began
−Removed: in early 2025 and will continue throughout the year to help assess safety, certification standards and potential certification challenges
−Removed: and obstacles.
−Removed: In March 2025, the Company submitted its TriFan 600 Type Certification application and G-1 “basis of certification”
−Removed: to the FAA for review.
−Removed: The G-1 addresses the latest draft Powered Lift Category guidelines and identifies areas unique to the TriFan 600
−Removed: and intended means of safety and compliance.
−Removed: Company is currently working through the TriFan 600’s Preliminary Design Review (“PDR”) update, which we expect to
−Removed: complete in early 2026.
−Removed: During this PDR update, the Company will be refreshing the TriFan 600 vendor / supplier list.
−Removed: For critical suppliers,
−Removed: we will begin signing phased contracts during the first half of 2025.
−Removed: Once the PDR phase is completed, we expect that almost all suppliers
−Removed: for the TriFan 600 will have been identified and most under contract.
−Removed: Supplier systems and subsystems will be integrated into our PDR
−Removed: configuration, C212.
−Removed: We will engage a handful of outside experts to be part of our PDR participants to help assess our PDR “exit”
−Removed: After PDR, we will launch our detailed design phase culminating in
−Removed: a Critical Design Review (“CDR”).
−Removed: This phase will include further interactions with suppliers to develop and mature major
−Removed: structures and systems of the airplane.
−Removed: With input from industry-respected suppliers, we believe all systems of the TriFan 600 can be
−Removed: incorporated into the airframe to deliver a fully integrated solution.
−Removed: The fulfillment of this phase is expected to pave the way for approving
−Removed: engineering designs used to build the airplane.
−Removed: The CDR phase will also include ongoing communication with the FAA to discuss and maintain
−Removed: awareness of our compliance with federal regulations.
−Removed: We expect this phase to take approximately 12 to 18 months.
−Removed: Following the completion of the CDR phase, we will begin fabricating
−Removed: and constructing our full-scale flight test airplane and working towards first flight.
−Removed: After a successful first flight activities, the
−Removed: certification from the FAA is expected to take an additional 18 to 24 months to achieve.
−Removed: As such, we anticipate FAA type certification
−Removed: of the TriFan 600 in 2030.
−Removed: & IIoT Solutions
−Removed: management believes that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to research and development efforts to maintain
−Removed: a competitive position.
−Removed: Our RTLS products intersect many emerging fields including metaverse, augmented reality, occupancy planning,
−Removed: industry 4.0, smart cities, and more, and we continue to innovate and patent new methods to solve problems for our customers.
−Removed: and Marketing
−Removed: sales channels include direct sales as well as indirect sales channels which may include
−Removed: one or more regional sales agents or brokers.
−Removed: Indirect sales partners may also provide a
−Removed: range of pre- and post-sales services to our customers including aftermarket support and
−Removed: maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) services using XTI Aerospace parts.
−Removed: In 2023, we entered into a commercial agreement with a sales and distribution
−Removed: agent for prospective sales of the TriFan 600 airplane and MRO services in certain markets, including 21 countries of the Middle East
−Removed: and North Africa.
−Removed: We have been in discussions with other sales and distribution agents throughout the world and plan to expand our global
−Removed: territory reach via commercial agreements.
−Removed: We intend to market our airplane through customer-targeted marketing
−Removed: campaigns (e.g., EMS, land management, oil & gas) utilizing our digital presence, webinars, podcasts, national and regional trade
−Removed: shows, conferences, and other media.
−Removed: To best identify target customers, we intend to utilize a Customer Advisory Board – a focus
−Removed: group to solidify the “voice of the customers” and allow us to map customer requirements and use cases to our available features,
−Removed: functions and options.
−Removed: & IIoT Solutions
−Removed: sales channels include direct sales as well as indirect sales through channel partners including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs),
−Removed: integrators, resellers and distributors.
−Removed: Indirect sales partners may provide a range of pre- and post-sales services to our customers

−Removed: market our products through industry-focused as well as account-based marketing strategies which utilize SEO, advertising, social media,
−Removed: trade shows, conferences, webinars and other media.
−Removed: RTLS products are primarily sold on a license and SaaS mode, which we call “location as a service” or “LaaS.”
−Removed: In our licensing model, we also typically charge an annual maintenance fee.
−Removed: The LaaS model is typically for a 3-5 year contract and includes
−Removed: license to use, maintenance and hardware upgrades.
−Removed: The LaaS model generates a recurring revenue stream.
−Removed: We previously had a pre-sales program that included refundable deposits
−Removed: for the TriFan 600 airplane that we intend to reopen later in 2025.
−Removed: Most pre-orders do not include deposits.
−Removed: Pre-sale agreements generally
−Removed: provide customers a delivery slot for their airplanes.
−Removed: The deposits we have received do not create an obligation on the part of the customer
−Removed: to purchase an airplane, and a customer may request the full return of its refundable deposit.
−Removed: Most pre-orders are subject to the execution
−Removed: of a definitive purchase agreement between us and each party that contains the final terms for the purchase of our TriFan 600 airplane,
−Removed: including, but not limited to, the final number of airplanes to be purchased and the timing for delivery of the airplanes.
−Removed: As of the date
−Removed: of this filing, we have conditional pre-orders under a combination of aircraft purchase agreements, non-binding reservation deposit agreements
−Removed: and options for the delivery of more than 290 airplanes.
−Removed: We have non-binding purchase orders for the purchase of 140 TriFan
−Removed: 600 airplanes, including a non-binding pre-order for the purchase of 100 TriFan 600 airplanes by Mesa Airlines, Inc.
−Removed: pursuant to that certain conditional aircraft purchase agreement, dated February 2, 2022, by and among Legacy XTI, Mesa Airlines and Mesa
−Removed: Air Group, Inc.
−Removed: Mesa’s purchase obligations under such agreement are conditioned upon, among other things, certification of our
−Removed: airplane by the FAA and the agreement by the parties of all material terms of the transaction including, but not limited to, delivery
−Removed: dates, airplane specifications, warranties, remedies, milestones relating to the development of the TriFan 600, the type and extent of
−Removed: assistance to be provided by Mesa in obtaining certification of the TriFan 600, branding and marketing matters, and optional equipment
−Removed: in the airplane.
−Removed: If the parties do not agree on such material terms, either party has the right to terminate the agreement if such party
−Removed: determines in its discretion that it is not likely that the material terms will be agreed to in a manner consistent with such party’s
−Removed: business and operational interests (as those interests may change from time to time).
−Removed: Additionally, we have entered into non-binding options to purchase
−Removed: an aggregate of 40 airplanes with potential purchasers located in the United States and Europe.
−Removed: We have entered into non-binding aircraft
−Removed: reservation deposit agreements for an aggregate of 114 airplanes with potential purchasers located in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia,
−Removed: Dubai, India, Japan, Brazil, and the United States.
−Removed: Customers making reservation deposits are not obligated to purchase any airplanes
−Removed: until they execute a definitive purchase agreement.
−Removed: We have written letters of intent (without deposits) with customers for an additional
−Removed: 105 airplanes.
−Removed: Customers may request a return of their refundable deposits any time up until the execution of a purchase agreement.
−Removed: conditional orders and reservations represent the potential of more than $3.0 billion in future gross revenue upon delivery of those airplanes,
−Removed: assuming the low end of our current list price range of $10 million per airplane assuming we can execute on the development program for
−Removed: the TriFan 600, secure FAA certification, and deliver these airplanes.
−Removed: & IIoT Solutions
−Removed: RTLS offerings which include real-time location tracking, collision avoidance and wireless device detections are used around the world
−Removed: in automotive factories, heavy equipment factories, logistics and distribution warehouses, mining operations, government and military
−Removed: buildings, and corporate offices.
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2024, four customers accounted for over 10% of revenue (23%, 14%, 13%, and 11%, respectively).
−Removed: had no revenue during the year ended December 31, 2023.
−Removed: The private jet and private business aircraft markets are highly competitive,
−Removed: and we face a significant number of original equipment manufacturer competitors, most of which are larger, better known and have better
−Removed: financial resources than us.
−Removed: When the TriFan 600 goes into production, we believe it will compete with other aircraft manufacturers by
−Removed: providing our customers with what we believe is a unique airplane with distinct and largely unique performance capabilities at a competitive
−Removed: purchase price.
−Removed: We believe the TriFan 600 airplane will be one of a small number of aircraft that offers the speed, range and comfort
−Removed: of a business airplane with the versatility of VTOL.
−Removed: As we expect that the TriFan 600 will be capable of flying greater distances and
−Removed: on average at twice the speed and three times the range of competing helicopters, we expect the TriFan 600 to offer lower direct operating
−Removed: costs (cost per flight hour) and be able to fly almost twice as many missions, thus generating additional cost savings and revenue for
−Removed: airlines and aircraft operators when compared with helicopters.
−Removed: IIoT Solutions
−Removed: RTLS business is characterized by innovation and rapid change.
−Removed: Our RTLS Indoor Intelligence products compete with companies such as Aruba,
−Removed: Cisco, Juniper Networks/Mist Systems, Ubisense, Sewio, Kinexon, Zebra Technologies and other mostly vertical focused RTLS companies.
−Removed: Some competitors determine positioning primarily using BLE or Wi-Fi and, therefore, we believe they cannot achieve the same accuracy
−Removed: that we do and so cannot meet some customers’ needs.
−Removed: Many RTLS competitors are focused on one technology and/or vertical and, at
−Removed: this time, we believe none of them have as complete an offering of tags, anchors, positioning, engine, software, integrations and analytics.
−Removed: believe we offer a unique and differentiated approach to the market with our industrial RTLS which is:
−Removed: ● Comprehensive .
−Removed: We offer full-stack RTLS solutions which seamlessly integrates tracking tags, anchors, sensors,
−Removed: positioning engine, software, and connections to third-party systems.
−Removed: We integrate a myriad
−Removed: of indoor data inputs and outputs.

+Added: XTI Aerospace is a provider of unmanned aerial systems (“UAS”)
+Added: solutions operating through two business divisions:
+Added: a commercial drone solutions business and an advanced systems and defense division.
+Added: The Company expects to continue developing a third business division, a domestic manufacturing and technology division.
+Added: The Company’s
+Added: commercial drone solutions business, conducted primarily through its majority owned subsidiary, XTI Drones Holdings, LLC, which owns Drone
+Added: Nerds, LLC and Anzu Robotics, LLC (collectively, “Drone Nerds”), constitutes substantially all of the Company’s revenues.
+Added: The advanced systems and defense division (formerly XTI Aircraft) is in an earlier stage of development and has not yet generated any
+Added: The Company was originally founded
+Added: around the development of the TriFan 600, a planned vertical takeoff and landing (“VTOL”) aircraft.
+Added: In 2025, the Company acquired
+Added: Drone Nerds and, in light of that acquisition and its assessment of near-term opportunities in the unmanned systems market, redirected
+Added: its former XTI Aircraft division beginning in 2026 toward the design and development of unmanned platforms for defense and commercial
+Added: applications.
+Added: The TriFan 600 program has been paused and the underlying intellectual property and engineering work product is being preserved
+Added: and maintained.
+Added: See “Business Divisions — TriFan 600 Strategic Context and Organizational Evolution” below for additional
+Added: The Company’s near-term focus is on growing its commercial drone
+Added: platform, expanding the range of products and services offered to enterprise and government customers, and pursuing strategic acquisitions
+Added: that extend its geographic reach and customer base.
+Added: The Company also is seeking to generate revenue from its advanced systems and domestic
+Added: manufacturing divisions.
+Added: The Company’s strategy is organized around three priorities:
+Added: Expand the commercial drone distribution and services platform by growing the customer base, increasing
+Added: revenue per customer, and improving operating margins, supported by proprietary data on customer purchasing behavior across product categories,
+Added: geographies, and markets;
+Added: Pursue targeted acquisitions to expand geographic reach, add complementary capabilities, and deepen penetration
+Added: across commercial and government markets;
+Added: Develop capabilities in advanced unmanned systems technology, domestic manufacturing, and defense-oriented
+Added: products and services to position the Company as a broader UAS solutions provider.
+Added: Corporate Strategy
+Added: XTI’s objective is to build
+Added: a scalable UAS solutions platform through organic growth in its commercial business, targeted acquisitions and the staged development
+Added: of its advanced systems and domestic manufacturing capabilities.
+Added: The following describes each element of this strategy.
+Added: Strengthen the Commercial
+Added: Drone Solutions Business
+Added: The Company is focused on expanding
+Added: the scope of products and services offered through Drone Nerds to increase revenue per customer and improve operating margins.
+Added: expansion areas include training and certification programs, repair and maintenance services, fleet management support, compliance assistance,
+Added: and financing solutions.
+Added: By offering these services alongside hardware distribution, the Company seeks to increase customer retention
+Added: and establish longer-term customer relationships.
+Added: Drone Nerds operates as an OEM-agnostic
+Added: distributor, meaning it is not restricted to the products of a single manufacturer.
+Added: The Company believes this model provides a competitive
+Added: advantage by allowing it to recommend the most suitable platform for a given customer’s operational requirements, independent of
+Added: manufacturer relationships.
+Added: However, the Company’s ability to maintain this model depends on continued access to OEM products and
+Added: dealer programs, which are subject to change.
+Added: Grow Through Strategic Acquisitions
+Added: and Partnerships
+Added: The UAS distribution and services market
+Added: is highly fragmented.
+Added: The Company intends to pursue acquisitions of complementary businesses that expand its customer base, geographic
+Added: presence, or service capabilities.
+Added: The Company uses data derived from its subsidiaries, primarily from Drone Nerds, to inform acquisition
+Added: targeting decisions.
+Added: There can be no assurance that suitable acquisition targets will be identified, that acquisitions will be completed
+Added: on acceptable terms, or that acquired businesses will be successfully integrated.
+Added: The Company is also seeking to expand
+Added: its customer base in government, defense, and public safety markets.
+Added: Procurement in these markets is subject to requirements around platform
+Added: compliance, cybersecurity and domestic sourcing, which the Company believes may favor distributors with established compliance capabilities.
+Added: XTI believes it is well positioned to leverage its supply-side expertise and enterprise platform to serve these growing markets;
+Added: government procurement decisions are subject to budgetary, regulatory and political factors outside the Company’s control.
+Added: Expand Domestic Manufacturing
+Added: and Technology Capability
+Added: XTI intends to develop U.S.-based manufacturing
+Added: and advanced technology capabilities for unmanned systems through partnerships, joint ventures, and selective investments.
+Added: These initiatives
+Added: are designed to address demand from government and enterprise customers for domestically manufactured platforms, which has been increasing
+Added: as regulatory and procurement requirements around foreign-sourced systems have tightened.
+Added: These development activities are at an early
+Added: stage, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to execute manufacturing partnerships on acceptable terms or that demand
+Added: for domestically manufactured platforms will develop as anticipated.
+Added: Business Divisions
+Added: Commercial Drone Solutions – XTI Drones (Drone Nerds)
+Added: XTI’s commercial drone
+Added: solutions business is currently conducted primarily through Drone Nerds, a UAS solutions provider offering hardware distribution, training
+Added: and certification, repair and maintenance, fleet sustainment, compliance support, and integrated solutions to enterprise and government
+Added: Drone Nerds operates through wholesale distribution, direct sales, and direct-to-consumer retail channels, including a retail
+Added: showroom in South Florida and an e-commerce platform.
+Added: The Company believes Drone Nerds is a significant enterprise-focused UAS distributor
+Added: in the United States.
+Added: The commercial drone solutions business currently generates substantially
+Added: all of the Company’s revenues and provides the customer relationships, operational infrastructure, and market data that support
+Added: the Company’s broader acquisition and development strategy.
+Added: Autonomous Defense Systems (ADS), formerly XTI Aircraft —
+Added: Strategic Context and Organizational Evolution
+Added: The ADS division reflects a strategic shift away from the TriFan 600
+Added: program and toward nearer-term unmanned systems opportunities.
+Added: Management determined that continued development of the TriFan 600 program
+Added: would require substantial additional time and capital, and the Company therefore redirected resources toward unmanned systems opportunities
+Added: that it believes may offer nearer-term commercial applications.
+Added: In response, management conducted a structured search for new divisional
+Added: leadership with a mandate to reorient the business around nearer-term, capital-efficient opportunities.
+Added: That search concluded with the
+Added: appointment of Steve Zohrabian, whose background in advanced manufacturing and defense product development is relevant to the operational
+Added: and contractual realities of serving government and defense customers.
+Added: The acquisition of Drone Nerds
+Added: in November 2025 served as the second anchor point around which the division’s updated strategy was set.
+Added: Together, Zohrabian’s
+Added: appointment and the Drone Nerds acquisition defined the strategic perimeter of the division and marked the beginning of a transformation
+Added: in staffing, focus, and organizational priorities — a transformation substantially completed in Q1 2026.
+Added: The ADS team is now building a core capability around the design, development,
+Added: and production of unmanned platforms, with an emphasis on serving defense customers and supporting domestic procurement initiatives aligned
+Added: national security priorities.
+Added: The Company believes the unmanned systems market — particularly in defense and government
+Added: procurement — presents a more actionable near-term revenue opportunity than continued TriFan 600 development at this stage of the
+Added: Company’s evolution.
+Added: TriFan 600 Program Status
+Added: The TriFan 600 program has
+Added: The underlying intellectual property and engineering work product are being preserved.
+Added: Whether and when development may
+Added: resume will depend on a number of factors, including capital availability, market conditions for advanced air mobility, further maturation
+Added: of core technologies of the TriFan 600, such as full autonomy capabilities, and the Company’s overall strategic priorities at the
+Added: relevant time.
+Added: Autonomous Defense Systems (ADS)
+Added: The Company refers to this
+Added: division as Autonomous Defense Systems, or ADS, a provisional designation.
+Added: The division’s official name and branding have not yet been
+Added: finalized and will be disclosed in a subsequent filing upon determination.
+Added: The ADS division is focused on
+Added: the design, development, and production of unmanned platforms for defense and commercial applications, drawing on the engineering expertise
+Added: and intellectual property developed through the Company’s prior aerospace program.
+Added: The division’s capabilities span autonomous
+Added: systems design, advanced propulsion, and airframe engineering.
+Added: ADS pursues opportunities through internal development, strategic partnerships,
+Added: and co-development arrangements, with an emphasis on defense procurement programs and domestic unmanned systems initiatives aligned with
+Added: national security priorities.
+Added: As described above, the division
+Added: substantially completed its organizational transformation in Q1 2026 following the appointment of new leadership and the acquisition of
+Added: Additional information regarding the division’s official name, organizational structure, and specific strategic initiatives
+Added: will be provided as those matters are finalized.
+Added: ADS division has not yet generated any revenues.
+Added: Its ability to generate revenues will depend on success in securing development
+Added: contracts, partnerships, or procurement awards, all of which are subject to significant uncertainty.
+Added: are currently pursuing participation in five identified program opportunities with a combined potential R&D program value of
+Added: approximately $147 million.
+Added: If these development programs advance to production phases — which is subject to government
+Added: procurement decisions, budgetary constraints, shifting defense priorities, program cancellations, competitive selection processes
+Added: and other factors outside our control, and as to which there can be no assurance — and if we are able to develop the
+Added: manufacturing capabilities necessary to meet resulting demand, we estimate the associated manufacturing opportunity could reach
+Added: approximately $1.5 billion in the aggregate.
+Added: These programs span potential customer agencies that include the U.S.
+Added: Marine Corps,
+Added: Special Operations Command (SOCOM), U.S.
+Added: Air Force, U.S.
+Added: Navy, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
+Added: (DARPA), and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).
+Added: See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and
+Added: Industries” for a discussion of the material risks associated with this division.
+Added: Advanced Technology and Manufacturing (ATM)
+Added: The Company refers to this
+Added: division as Advanced Technology and Manufacturing, or ATM, a provisional designation.
+Added: The division’s official name, organizational structure,
+Added: and branding have not yet been finalized and will be disclosed in a subsequent filing upon determination.
+Added: The Advanced Technology and Manufacturing (ATM) division is expected
+Added: to be led by Alex Williams, Ph.D., and is expected to be focused on developing and scaling U.S.-based production capabilities for unmanned
+Added: systems, components, and related technologies.
+Added: The division’s mandate will be to build a domestically sourced supply chain designed
+Added: to support compliance with applicable federal procurement and sourcing requirements, including Section 848 of the National Defense Authorization
+Added: Act for unmanned aerial systems — addressing the growing demand from federal agencies, defense contractors, and enterprise customers
+Added: for drone platforms and components that meet Section 848 of the National Defense Authorization Act and satisfy applicable government procurement
+Added: requirements for compliant UAS platforms and components.
+Added: Demand for compliant, domestically
+Added: manufactured unmanned systems has accelerated as regulatory and procurement requirements around foreign-manufactured components have tightened.
+Added: The Company believes this environment creates an opportunity to develop manufacturing relationships and capabilities that may support
+Added: government and enterprise demand for compliant UAS platforms and components.
+Added: The division plans to pursue growth
+Added: through manufacturing partnerships, co-development arrangements, targeted acquisitions of domestic production capacity, and strategic
+Added: investments in U.S.-based technology and component suppliers.
+Added: The Company’s position as
+Added: a distributor and aggregator of market intelligence across the unmanned systems industry is expected to provide the ATM division with
+Added: an operational insight base that may support identifying manufacturing gaps, qualifying suppliers, and structuring partnerships that address
+Added: the specific procurement and compliance requirements of defense and government customers.
+Added: The ATM division has not yet generated
+Added: any revenues, and its activities are at an early stage of development.
+Added: The division’s ability to generate revenues will depend on
+Added: its success in establishing manufacturing partnerships on acceptable terms, securing National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”)
+Added: -compliant production capacity, and converting that capacity into defensible customer relationships and contract awards — each of
+Added: which is subject to significant uncertainty.
+Added: There can be no assurance that manufacturing contracts and/or partnerships will be established
+Added: on acceptable terms or that the division will generate revenues within the timeframe the Company anticipates.
+Added: Capital Strategy
+Added: XTI is executing a capital strategy designed to support disciplined
+Added: growth, fund targeted acquisitions, and accelerate the development of its three operating divisions.
+Added: The Company is working with its financial
+Added: advisors to evaluate financing alternatives that optimize flexibility and preserve shareholder value.
+Added: The commercial UAS market
+Added: has experienced growth in recent years, driven by increasing adoption across enterprise verticals including agriculture, construction,
+Added: infrastructure inspection, mining, insurance, energy and utilities, and public safety.
+Added: Defense and government applications represent an
+Added: additional and growing end market.
+Added: The overall market remains fragmented, with no single provider holding a dominant position across all
+Added: verticals and use cases.
+Added: The Company believes that consolidation among UAS distributors and
+Added: solutions providers is likely as customers increasingly prefer vendors capable of providing integrated, multi-manufacturer solutions alongside
+Added: training, maintenance, and lifecycle support.
+Added: The Company’s strategy is designed to position the Company to participate in this
+Added: trend, both through organic growth and through acquisitions.
+Added: However, the pace and direction of industry consolidation are uncertain,
+Added: and larger, better-capitalized competitors may consolidate more quickly or effectively than the Company.
+Added: Regulatory and procurement
+Added: trends have generally been favorable for domestic UAS distributors and manufacturers.
+Added: Restrictions on foreign-manufactured platforms in
+Added: certain government procurement contexts, actions by the FAA and FCC relating to UAS operations and equipment authorization, and growing
+Added: national security scrutiny of foreign-sourced unmanned systems, have all contributed to demand for compliant, U.S.-based solutions.
+Added: trends may benefit the Company, though regulatory requirements are subject to change and may also impose compliance costs or operational
+Added: constraints on the Company and its customers.
+Added: The advanced air mobility market — the market the TriFan 600
+Added: program was originally designed to address — remains at an early stage of development.
+Added: The Company does not generate revenues from
+Added: advanced air mobility and has paused the active development of the TriFan 600 program.
+Added: If the Company were to resume that program, its
+Added: prospects would depend in part on the development of regulatory frameworks, infrastructure, and customer demand for advanced air mobility,
+Added: none of which can be predicted with certainty.
+Added: The Company competes with
+Added: other UAS distributors, value-added resellers, and solutions integrators, as well as directly with OEM manufacturers that sell through
+Added: direct channels.
+Added: Certain competitors are larger and have greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than the Company.
+Added: can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully.
+Added: Products and Services
+Added: XTI delivers UAS solutions through its three operating divisions.

+Added: technician training to expand service offerings and reduce customer downtime.
+Added: Operational procedures and compliance
+Added: XTI develops internal processes and operational playbooks designed to support enterprise deployment, including customer onboarding,
+Added: fleet sustainment programs, and compliance management support.
+Added: The Company’s development
+Added: efforts across all divisions are influenced by third-party product roadmaps, regulatory frameworks, certification requirements, and the
+Added: commercial practices of OEM partners and software providers.
+Added: Its ability to support certain solutions or expand related services may depend
+Added: on the availability of products and continued cooperation from third parties.
+Added: Intellectual Property
+Added: The Company’s primary
+Added: intellectual property assets prior to the Drone Nerds acquisition were developed through its former TriFan 600 manned VTOL aircraft program.
+Added: The engineering work, design concepts, and technical development undertaken through that program generated a body of intellectual property,
+Added: including proprietary aircraft design concepts, engineering work product, trade secrets, and other assets associated with VTOL and autonomous
+Added: systems development.
+Added: The Company seeks to protect these assets through a combination of patent filings, trade secret protections, confidentiality
+Added: agreements, and internal information security controls.
+Added: Patent protection, where pursued, may cover certain design elements, systems,
+Added: however, the scope and duration of such protection are subject to examination and applicable law, and there can be no assurance
+Added: that patent protection will be obtained or maintained.
+Added: XTI’s UAS distribution
+Added: and services business relies primarily on brand assets, customer relationships, proprietary training materials, operational processes,
+Added: repair methodologies, technical know-how, and service capabilities.
+Added: The Company protects these assets through confidentiality agreements,
+Added: intellectual property assignment provisions with employees and certain third parties, and contractual arrangements with suppliers and
+Added: Because the XTI UAS business
+Added: model is largely distribution, integration, training, and services-based, it does not rely primarily on owned patents for competitive
+Added: differentiation.
+Added: Instead, the Company’s competitive position depends on operational expertise, brand reputation, service infrastructure,
+Added: and relationships with OEMs and customers.
+Added: It also relies on intellectual property owned by third-party OEMs and software providers whose
+Added: products the Company distributes or supports, and the Company’s ability to sell and service such products is subject to the terms
+Added: of applicable distribution, dealer, and licensing agreements.
+Added: As described above under “Business Divisions — TriFan 600
+Added: Strategic Context and Organizational Evolution,” the Company paused the TriFan 600 program in 2026 and redirected the division’s
+Added: resources toward unmanned systems development.
+Added: The intellectual property developed through the TriFan 600 program remains an asset of
+Added: the Company and is being preserved.
+Added: The Company believes that certain underlying technologies — including work related to autonomous
+Added: flight systems, advanced propulsion, and airframe design — are applicable to the unmanned systems development work now underway
+Added: within the ADS division.
+Added: As of the date of this filing, all expenditures associated with the former aircraft division are directed toward
+Added: unmanned systems development and manufacturing programs.
+Added: Government Regulation
+Added: The XTI business is subject
+Added: to a broad range of federal, state, local, and, in certain cases, international laws and regulations that affect the products it distributes,
+Added: the services it provides, customer procurement decisions, and the ability of customers to deploy UAS platforms.
+Added: Key regulatory and compliance
+Added: areas include:
+Added: Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”)
+Added: regulation of UAS operations.
+Added: UAS operations in the United States are subject to FAA rules governing operator certification, operational limitations,
+Added: waiver processes — including for beyond visual line of sight (“BVLOS”) operations — remote identification requirements,
+Added: and related safety and operational standards.
+Added: The ongoing evolution of FAA rulemaking, particularly with respect to BVLOS operations and
+Added: advanced air mobility, represents a material compliance consideration and may affect the timing and scope of broader enterprise and government
+Added: deployment as expanded operational authorizations enable such deployment.
+Added: In addition, if the Company were to resume development of the
+Added: TriFan 600 or other manned or semi-autonomous aircraft, such programs would be subject to additional FAA certification requirements, which
+Added: are complex, time-consuming, and uncertain.
+Added: Federal Communications Commission
+Added: (“FCC”) equipment authorization and communications requirements.
+Added: Certain UAS platforms, payloads, and related communications equipment
+Added: are subject to FCC equipment authorization and related technical requirements.
+Added: Recent FCC actions related to national security concerns
+Added: involving certain foreign-manufactured unmanned aircraft systems may affect the availability, eligibility, or timing of new product introductions
+Added: into the U.S.
+Added: In December 2025, the FCC added foreign-produced UAS and UAS critical components, on a going-forward basis, to the
+Added: Covered List, which restricts new equipment authorizations for those systems in the United States and may accelerate customer demand for
+Added: compliant domestic alternatives.
+Added: Government procurement, sourcing,
+Added: and supply chain security requirements.
+Added: Public sector customers may be subject to procurement restrictions, sourcing requirements,
+Added: and supply chain security rules that affect platform eligibility, vendor qualification, and procurement timing.
+Added: These requirements may
+Added: evolve based on national security, cybersecurity, and data protection considerations.
+Added: XTI’s OEM-agnostic, compliance-oriented distribution
+Added: model is designed to support customers in navigating these requirements.
+Added: Export controls, sanctions, and trade
+Added: Certain products, technologies, and customers may be subject to U.S.
+Added: export controls, sanctions, and related trade compliance
+Added: requirements, which may impose restrictions on sales activities, shipment destinations, end users, and product configurations.
+Added: Privacy, surveillance, and data regulation.
+Added: UAS deployments may involve the collection, processing, storage, or transmission of imagery and other data.
+Added: Customers and operators may
+Added: be subject to privacy, surveillance, and data protection laws and regulations that influence adoption, operational policies, and compliance
+Added: requirements.
+Added: The regulatory environment
+Added: applicable to UAS distribution, operations, data use, and unmanned systems development continues to evolve.
+Added: We monitor regulatory developments
+Added: and adjust our compliance processes, supplier relationships, and customer support practices as appropriate to align with applicable requirements
+Added: and procurement standards.
+Added: See Item 1C for information regarding the Company
+Added: cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance.
+Added: The Company’s employees
+Added: support UAS sales, marketing, repair and maintenance operations, training, customer support, and corporate functions, as well as engineering
+Added: and program development activities within the advanced systems and domestic manufacturing divisions.
+Added: The Company initiated a workforce transition reflecting two developments:
+Added: the 2025 acquisition of Drone Nerds, which added 82 employees to the Company’s headcount, and the 2026 strategic reorientation of
+Added: the former XTI Aircraft division toward unmanned systems development.
+Added: As part of that reorientation, the division’s workforce was
+Added: restructured and new leadership and technical personnel were hired with experience in unmanned platform development, defense programs,
+Added: and advanced manufacturing.
+Added: These changes were partially offset by the transfer of 22 employees in connection with the divestiture of
+Added: the Inpixon real-time location systems business.
+Added: As of March 31, 2026, the
+Added: Company had 105 employees, consisting of 96 full-time employees and 9 part-time employees.
+Added: None of the Company’s employees are represented
+Added: by a labor union or are party to a collective bargaining agreement.
+Added: The Company has not experienced any work stoppages and considers its
+Added: employee relations to be satisfactory.
+Added: Acquisition of Drone Nerds and Disposition of Inpixon Business
+Added: In November 2025, we completed the acquisition of Drone Nerds, LLC
+Added: and Anzu Robotics, LLC (“Anzu”).
+Added: Prior to the acquisition, Anzu was affiliated with Drone Nerds, LLC (then known as Drone
+Added: Nerds, Inc.) through common ownership and its financial results were included in the historical audited financial statements of the Drone
