Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with Legacy Inpixon's audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC. In addition to our historical condensed consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, particularly in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”
Overview of Our Business
Following the closing of the XTI Merger, we are primarily an aircraft development company. We also provide real-time location systems (“RTLS”) for the industrial sector, which was our primary focus prior to the closing of the XTI Merger. Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, XTI Aerospace is developing a vertical takeoff and landing ("VTOL") aircraft that is designed to take off and land like a helicopter and cruise like a fixed-wing business aircraft. We believe our initial configuration, the TriFan 600, will be one of the first civilian fixed-wing VTOL aircraft that offers the speed, range and comfort of a business aircraft and the versatility of a helicopter for a wide range of customer applications, including private aviation for business and high net worth individuals, emergency medical services, and commuter and regional air travel. Since 2013, we have been engaged primarily in developing the design and engineering concepts for the TriFan 600, building and testing a two-thirds scale unmanned version of the TriFan 600, generating pre-orders for the TriFan 600, and seeking funds from investors to enable the Company to build full-scale piloted prototypes of the TriFan 600, and to eventually engage in commercial production and sale of the TriFan 600 aircraft.
Our RTLS solution leverages cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, AI, and big data analytics to provide real-time tracking and monitoring of assets, machines, and people within industrial environments. With our RTLS, businesses can achieve improved operational efficiency, enhanced safety and reduced costs. By having real-time visibility into operations, industrial organizations can make informed, data-driven decisions, minimize downtime, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
We report financial results for two segments: Commercial Aviation and Industrial IoT. For Industrial IoT, we generate revenue from sales of hardware, software licenses and professional services. For Commercial Aviation, the segment is pre-revenue as we are currently developing the TriFan 600 aircraft.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
We believe that the growth of our business and our future success are dependent upon many factors, including our ability to retain and develop engineering internal and third-party resources, secure strategic partnerships with suppliers, expand the number of customer purchase orders, locate a facility for further aircraft development and testing, expand on that facility or locate to a new facility for commercial production, build-out production assembly lines in a timely manner, develop ancillary service offerings related to the TriFan 600 such as flight training and maintenance products, and secure the needed financing to achieve Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") certification.
While each of these areas presents significant opportunities for us, they also pose material challenges and risks that we must successfully address to achieve FAA certification of the TriFan 600 and further reach our current aircraft delivery forecasts.

Corporate Strategy Update
Commercial Aviation
We intend to continue our development of the TriFan 600 by engaging key supply partners, establishing vendors of key components of the full-scale Test Aircraft #1, commissioning and completing trade studies, and completing the development design review of the TriFan 600. We will need additional capital to complete our development of the series of Test Aircraft and beyond and are pursuing multiple alternatives for such funding.
We will continue to develop an internal and external sales and marketing capability to increase awareness of the aircraft and position the Company to continue taking customer orders and deposits. We believe that increasing awareness of the aircraft and demonstrating customer demand through sales orders will enhance the Company’s ability to continue raising capital in the future.
We do not believe we will be able to generate revenues in this commercial aviation segment without successfully completing the certification of the proposed TriFan 600 aircraft.
Industrial IoT
Since 2019 and post acquisition, Legacy Inpixon's operations have been focused on building and developing our Indoor Intelligence TM platform to be able to offer a comprehensive range of solutions that allow for the collection of data within workplace environments to delivering insights from that data for, people, places and things. We believe we have positioned the Industrial IoT business as a market leader with a comprehensive suite of products and solutions allowing us to help organizations enhance the visitor and employee experience with actionable indoor intelligence making them smarter, safer and more secure. We operate and compete in an industry that is characterized by rapid technological innovation, changing customer needs, evolving industry standards and frequent introductions of new products, product enhancements, services and distribution methods. Our success will depend on our ability to develop expertise with these new products, product enhancements, services and distribution methods and to implement solutions that anticipate and respond to rapid changes in technology, the industry, and customer needs.
Research and Development
Commercial Aviation
We plan to seek FAA certification of the TriFan 600 as a fixed-wing, VTOL aircraft. Initial concept and engineering analysis for the TriFan 600 was completed in July 2015. Legacy XTI built a 65% scale prototype and in May 2019 began initial hover tests. The prototype was successfully hover-tested multiple times. Subsequent to raising private funding during 2021, Legacy XTI hired a number of engineers (employees and consultants) to establish its core engineering organization. Additionally, Legacy XTI retained consulting firms to provide specialized engineering technical knowledge to complement XTI’s team.
Legacy XTI completed its preliminary design review (“PDR”) in 2022, which set the stage for the next step of design development. Legacy XTI updated the exterior design of the TriFan 600, including the location of the wing fans and the location of the horizontal tail, all of which had a positive impact on the performance and efficiency of the aircraft. Design and engineering for other systems, including the propulsion system, landing gear, cockpit visibility, cabin sizing and structural integrity were also advanced during 2022 and 2023.
The XTI team is currently working toward an update to the initial PDR to address additional aerodynamic and performance improvements. In addition, the program includes further interactions with potential suppliers for the development of major structures and systems of the aircraft. The team is focused on industry-respected suppliers and systems for the TriFan 600 to reduce certification risk and to deliver a fully-integrated aircraft. Also, during this phase XTI will formally establish a project plan with the FAA and apply for Type Certification (TC).
The next target milestones include the critical design review (“CDR”) and building and preliminary testing of a full-scale flight test aircraft, along with building additional full-scale flight test aircraft, are fully dependent on raising additional financing.

Industrial IoT
Our management believes that we must continue to dedicate significant resources to research and development efforts to maintain a competitive position. Our RTLS products intersect many emerging fields including metaverse, augmented reality, occupancy planning, industry 4.0, smart cities, and more, and we continue to innovate and patent new methods to solve problems for our customers.
Competition
Commercial Aviation
The business aircraft market is highly competitive and we face a significant number of original equipment manufacturer competitors, most of which are larger, better known and have better financial resources than us. When the TriFan 600 goes into production, we believe it will compete with other aircraft manufacturers by providing our customers with what we believe is a unique “crossover” aircraft with distinct and largely unique performance capabilities at a competitive purchase price. We believe the TriFan 600 will be one of a small number of aircraft that offers the speed, range and comfort of a business aircraft with the versatility of VTOL. As we expect that the TriFan 600 will be capable of flying greater distances and on average at twice the speed and three times the range of competing helicopters, we expect the TriFan 600 to offer lower direct operating costs (cost per flight hour) and be able to fly almost twice as many missions, thus generating additional cost savings and revenue for airlines and aircraft operators when compared with helicopters .
Industrial IoT
In addition, our Industrial IoT business is characterized by innovation and rapid change. Our RTLS Indoor Intelligence products compete with companies such as Aruba, Cisco, Juniper Networks/Mist Systems, Ubisense, Sewio, Kinexon, Zebra Technologies and other mostly vertical focused RTLS companies. Some competitors determine positioning primarily using BLE or Wi-Fi and, therefore, we believe they cannot achieve the same accuracy that we do and so cannot meet some customers' needs. Many RTLS competitors are focused on one technology and/or vertical and, at this time, we believe none of them have as complete an offering of tags, anchors, positioning, engine, software, integrations and analytics. We believe we offer a unique and differentiated approach to the market with our Industrial IoT business which is comprehensive, scalable, and technology-agnostic.
Recent Events
The Company completed its merger with Legacy XTI on March 12, 2024, which was structured as a reverse triangular merger.
Compliance with Nasdaq Continued Listing Requirements
On July 9, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days beginning on May 23, 2024, and ending on July 8, 2024, the Company no longer meets the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until January 6, 2025, in which to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.
On November 7, 2024, the Company received another letter (the "Low Price Deficiency Letter") from Nasdaq notifying the Company that, as of November 6, 2024, the Company’s common stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days. Accordingly, the Company is subject to the provisions contemplated under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) (the "Low Priced Stocks Rule"). As a result, Nasdaq has determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Determination"), unless the Company requests an appeal of the Determination on or prior to November 14, 2024, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series.
The Company requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") to appeal the Determination and to address compliance with the Low Priced Stocks Rule. The Low Price Deficiency Letter states that hearings are typically scheduled to occur approximately 30-45 days after the date of the hearing request. The Company will be asked to provide the Panel with a plan to regain compliance, which plan the Company is in the process of preparing.

Table of Contents
The Low Price Deficiency Letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq and its common stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "XTIA." While the appeal process is pending, the suspension of trading of the Company’s common stock would be stayed and the Company’s common stock would continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues a written decision. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in its appeal to the Panel or be able to regain or maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules.
Employment Agreement with Chief Strategy Officer
The Company entered into an employment agreement with Tobin Arthur on September 19, 2024, effective as of such date (the "Arthur Employment Agreement"), pursuant to which Mr. Arthur agreed to serve as the Company’s Chief Strategy Officer. Pursuant to the terms of the Arthur Employment Agreement, Mr. Arthur is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $300,000, which may be increased by the Board from time to time in its sole discretion. Mr. Arthur is also entitled to receive an annual cash bonus of up to a baseline of 60% of his base salary, with the right and ability to earn up to a cap of 90% of his base salary, applying a weighted average percentage of the objective and subjective criteria and milestones set forth in the Arthur Employment Agreement, which include target amounts and target dates for equity investments received by the Company and the Company’s average market cap in addition to the completion of certain milestones in the development of the Company’s TriFan 600 aircraft. The Board will determine and award the annual cash bonus within 30 days after the end of each calendar year during Mr. Arthur’s employment period. Pursuant to the Arthur Employment Agreement, the Compensation Committee of the Board granted Mr. Arthur stock options to purchase 1,171,875 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended. The stock options have a grant date of September 19, 2024 and an exercise price of $0.473 per share. The stock options vest 1/3rd annually over three years starting from August 1, 2024, and expire ten years after the grant date. Mr. Arthur’s employment agreement term ends on December 31, 2025, with one automatic one-year extension to December 31, 2026, unless either party provides prior notice of non-renewal on or before March 31, 2025.
The Arthur Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Arthur’s receipt of compensation following termination of employment is subject to his execution of a release releasing all claims against the Company and its executives, directors and employees, other than as prohibited by law. If Mr. Arthur is terminated without cause (other than due to death or disability) or if he resigns for good reason (as such terms are defined in the Arthur Employment Agreement), then Mr. Arthur will be entitled to (i) a severance payment equivalent to the base salary that would have been paid to him through the end of the employment period, (ii) payment for any unused vacation accrued to the date of termination, (iii) payment for any accrued but unpaid expenses through the date of termination and (iv) any benefits to which he may be entitled upon termination pursuant to the terms of any applicable plans and programs or as may be required by applicable law. If Mr. Arthur terminates for good reason, in addition to the foregoing compensation and benefits, he is entitled to receive reimbursements of premium payments for continuation coverage under applicable state or federal law, in the event he elects such continuation coverage, for the remainder of his employment period, or, if longer, for a period of six months after termination of employment. If Mr. Arthur is terminated for cause, then immediately following such termination, he is entitled only to any unpaid compensation and unreimbursed expenses.
The Arthur Employment Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.5 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the description above of the material terms of the Arthur Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such exhibit.

As disclosed under Part II, Item 5 of this report, on November 12, 2024, Jennifer Gaines amicably resigned as Chief Legal Officer of the Company, effective immediately.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their
47
Table of Contents
effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no changes to estimates during the periods presented in the filing. Historically changes in management estimates have not been material.
There have been no significant changes to Legacy Inpixon's critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the addition of Legacy XTI's critical accounting policies and estimates which have been incorporated and disclosed in Note 3 of the condensed consolidated financials statements included elsewhere in this report and the valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill as noted below.
Valuation of Long-lived and Intangible Assets and Goodwill.
We periodically review long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets for impairment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” Goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization are reviewed annually for impairment in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” or more often if there are indications of possible impairment.
The analysis to determine whether or not an asset is impaired requires significant judgments that are dependent on internal forecasts, including estimated future cash flows, estimates of long-term growth rates for our business, the expected life over which cash flows will be realized and assumed royalty and discount rates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and any impairment charge. While the fair value of these assets exceeds their carrying value based on our current estimates and assumptions, materially different estimates and assumptions in the future in response to changing economic conditions, changes in our business or for other reasons could result in the recognition of impairment losses.
For assets to be held and used, including acquired intangible assets subject to amortization, we initiate our review whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the expected future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. Any impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Significant management judgment is required in this process.
For intangible assets not subject to amortization such as goodwill, we test for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. In testing goodwill for impairment, we compare the fair value with the carrying value. The determination of fair value is based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using inputs and assumptions such as revenue growth rates, projected research and development expenditures based on future milestones of the TriFan 600 aircraft development, other projected expenses, and discount rates. If we were to experience a decrease in forecasted future revenues attributable to the intangible assets, this could indicate a potential impairment. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, the goodwill is considered impaired, and an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of goodwill.
We will perform our annual goodwill impairment test required by ASC 350 as of October 1st of each year. In testing goodwill for impairment, we analyze qualitative factors as stated within ASC 350 to determine if the fair value of our single reporting unit may be less than the carrying value of the reporting unit. We have one reporting unit (Industrial IoT). If the fair value of the reporting unit, based on qualitative factors, may be less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, we then perform the goodwill impairment test required under ASC 350 by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with the carrying value of the reporting unit and, if the fair value is less than the carrying value, the amount that the carrying value exceeds fair value represents the amount of goodwill impairment. Accordingly, we would recognize an impairment loss in the amount of such excess.
In the Merger we recorded approximately $12.4 million in goodwill which allocated to our Industrial IOT reporting unit. Since the closing date of the Merger on March 12, 2024, the price of our common stock has declined significantly and may continue to fluctuate in future periods. A sustained decrease in the price of our common stock is one of the qualitative factors to be considered as part of an impairment test when evaluating whether events or changes in circumstances may indicate that it is more likely than not that a potential goodwill impairment exists. We will continue monitoring the analysis of the qualitative and quantitative factors used as a basis for the goodwill impairment test during fiscal year 2024 and at the Company’s October 1st

annual testing date. As of September 30, 2024, Management evaluated potential triggers and completed a qualitative assessment and determined in the aggregate, it is not more likely than not, that the fair value of the Goodwill is less than its carrying value. To corroborate this conclusion, we entered into an agreement for a proposed equity investment at a post-money valuation in line with the fairness opinion obtained in July 2023 and compared our equity carrying value to our market capitalization and concluded that there was no goodwill impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. If the negative volatility of our market capitalization is sustained, it is possible that our goodwill could become impaired, which could result in a material charge and adversely affect our results of operations.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Commercial Aviation
We are still working to design, develop and certify the TriFan 600 aircraft and thus have not generated revenue from this segment. We do not expect to begin generating significant revenues until we are able to complete the design, development, certification, and manufacturing of the aircraft.
Industrial IoT
Our RTLS products are primarily sold on a license and SaaS mode, which we call "location as a service" or "LaaS." In our licensing model, we also typically charge an annual maintenance fee. The LaaS model is typically for a 3-5 year contract and includes a license to use, maintenance and hardware upgrades. The LaaS model generates a recurring revenue stream.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development activities represent a significant part of our business. Our research and development efforts focus on the design and development of (i) our indoor intelligence products, and (ii) our TriFan 600 aircraft, including certain of the systems that will be used in it. As part of our aircraft development activities, we continue to work closely with the FAA towards our goal of achieving certification of our aircraft on an efficient timeline.
Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the research and development of the TriFan 600 aircraft. These expenses include:
• employee-related expenses, including salaries and benefits for personnel engaged in research and development functions;
• expenses incurred under agreements with third parties such as consultants and contractors; and
• software and technology-related expenses to support computer-aided design of the aircraft, flight simulations, and other technology needs of our engineers.
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly as we increase staffing to support aircraft engineering and software development, build aircraft prototypes and continue to explore and develop technologies.
We cannot determine with certainty the timing, duration or the costs necessary to complete the design, development, certification, and manufacturing of our TriFan 600 aircraft due to the inherently unpredictable nature of our research and development activities. Development timelines, the probability of success, and development costs may differ materially from expectations.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing costs include activities such as aircraft reservation procurement, public relations and business opportunity advancement. These functions mainly generate expenses relating to travel, trade show fees and costs, salaries and benefits. Selling and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred.
49
Table of Contents
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive, finance, corporate and business development, and administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include legal fees relating to patent and corporate matters, including non-capitalizable transaction costs; professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax and administrative consulting services; insurance costs, facility related expenses including maintenance and allocated expenses for rent and other operating costs.
We anticipate that general and administrative expenses will increase substantially in the future as we increase our headcount to support continued research and development and commercialization of the TriFan 600.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense, net consists primarily of (i) interest relating to convertible and promissory notes payable, (ii) amortization of debt discounts relating to warrants and stock options issued in conjunction with convertible notes, and (iii) interest income on notes receivable.
Inducement loss on debt conversions includes primarily the inducement charges incurred by Legacy XTI when it entered into voluntary note conversion letter agreements with several note holders during the first quarter of 2024. Per the letter agreements, principal and accrued interest under the notes was converted at a reduced conversion price into shares of Legacy XTI common stock immediately prior to the XTI Merger closing time, which converted into shares of the Company's common stock upon the closing of the XTI Merger. The Company accounted for these conversions as an inducement and, as such, recognized a loss related to the fair value of the additional shares issued compared to the original terms of the convertible notes.
Change in fair value of convertible notes represent the remeasurement of certain Legacy XTI convertible notes to fair value. These notes were converted to equity prior to the closing of XTI Merger.
Change in fair value of warrant liability represents the remeasurement of certain Legacy XTI and Legacy Inpixon outstanding warrants to fair value. These outstanding warrants were exchanged for common shares of the Company during the second quarter of 2024.
Other income (expense), net consists of miscellaneous income and expense items.

Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $0.9 million compared to $0.0 million for the comparable period in the prior year for an increase of approximately $0.9 million. The revenue amount for the three months ended September 30, 2024 represents the results of the revenue-generating Industrial IoT segment, whereas the Company was pre-revenue in 2023. We expect revenues for the fourth quarter of 2024 to remain consistent with the third quarter of 2024.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $0.4 million compared to $0.0 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The cost of revenues amount for the three months ended September 30, 2024 represents the results of the revenue-generating Industrial IoT segment, whereas the Company was pre-revenue in 2023.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $0.5 million compared to $0.0 million f or the comparable period in the prior year. The gross profit amount for the three months ended September 30, 2024 represents the results of the revenue-generating Industrial IoT segment, whereas the Company was pre-revenue in 2023. Revenue and gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.03 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The decline in gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024 of approximately $0.2 million was primarily driven by a decline in revenue and the recognition of a one-time inventory impairment charge of approximately $0.04 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. We expect gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 to be similar to the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $4.7 million and $2.4 million for the comparable period ended September 30, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized one-time income of $2.3 million, which is included in general and administrative expenses, relating to the forfeiture of vested stock options previously granted to the former CEO of Legacy XTI. Excluding the income recognized from the aforementioned stock option forfeiture, operating expenses increased by approximately $4.7 million due primarily to (i) an increase in expenditures relating to the development of the TriFan 600 aircraft, (ii) an increase in consulting compensation mainly attributable to consulting arrangements entered into with prior executives of Legacy Inpixon on March 12, 2024, (iii) an increase in public company-related professional fees as the 2023 historical results reflect the operations of a private company, Legacy XTI, and (iv) the inclusion of the operating results of the Industrial IoT segment as of the closing of the XTI Merger. After excluding one-time items, we expect total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 to remain comparable to the third quarter.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was a loss of $0.2 million compared to a loss of $0.3 million for the comparable period in the prior year. This fluctuation in other income (expense) of approximately $0.1 million was primarily attributable to a decline in interest expense as a result of Legacy XTI convertible notes being converted into equity immediately prior to the XTI Merger closing.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income tax for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was immaterial.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $28.3 million and $7.7 million for the comparable period ended September 30, 2023. This increase of approximately $20.6 million was primarily attributable to (i) the recognition of $6.7 million of nonrecurring transaction bonus expense during the second quarter of 2024 as the bonuses became payable upon the earlier of the closing of qualifying financings or June 30, 2024, (ii) an increase in one-time merger-related transaction costs of $5.1 million, (iii) an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.1 million , (iv) an increase in consulting compensation mainly attributable to consulting arrangements entered into with prior executives of Legacy Inpixon on March 12, 2024, (v) an increase in legal and accounting fees relating to capital raising activities during 2024, (vi) an increase in public company-related professional fees as the 2023 historical results reflect the operations of a

private company, Legacy XTI, and (vii) the inclusion of the operating results of the Industrial IoT segment as of the XTI Merger closing date through the September 30, 2024 reporting date.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was a gain of $5.3 million compared to a loss of $1.2 million for the comparable period ended September 30, 2023. This fluctuation of approximately $6.5 million was primarily attributable to the Company recognizing an income gain of approximately $12.9 million relating to the remeasurement of convertible notes at fair value during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, partially offset by inducement losses on debt conversions of approximately $6.7 million incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was immaterial.

legally binding. As of September 30, 2024, the total obligation for capitalized operating leases was approximately $0.5 million, of which approximately $0.2 million is expected to be paid in the next twelve months.
As of September 30, 2024, we owed approximately $2.6 million relating to outstanding short-term promissory notes. This balance excludes intercompany amounts that are eliminated in the financial statements. These notes are payable within the next twelve months and the interest rate charged under the notes range from 4.0% to 18.6%.
Customer Deposits
As of September 30, 2024, we received conditional pre-orders under a combination of non-binding aircraft purchase agreements, reservation deposit agreements, options and letters of intent for aircraft which generated approximately $1.4 million of cash from customer deposits. These funds from customer reservation deposits will not be recorded as revenue until the orders for aircraft are delivered, which may not be for many years or at all if we do not deliver the aircraft. The deposits prioritize orders when the aircraft becomes available for delivery. Customers making deposits are not obligated to purchase aircraft until they execute a definitive purchase agreement. Customers may request a return of their refundable deposit any time up until the execution of a purchase agreement. Customers’ request for a return of their refundable deposits could adversely affect our liquidity resources and we may be financially unable to return such deposits.
Financial Advisory Fees in connection with the XTI Merger
Pursuant to the terms of an amended advisory fees agreement among Legacy XTI, the Company and Maxim and in accordance with the XTI Merger Agreement, the Company issued 385,359 registered shares of XTI Aerospace common stock in exchange for shares of Legacy XTI common stock issued to Maxim based on the exchange ratio under the XTI Merger Agreement. Additionally, Maxim will receive $0.2 million payable upon the closing of one or more debt or equity financings for which Maxim serves as placement agent or underwriter and in which the Company raises minimum aggregate gross proceeds of $10 million following the Effective Time.
Legacy XTI Deferred Compensation and Retention Bonus Plan
In an effort to conserve cash, Legacy XTI implemented a cost savings plan, effective on July 1, 2022. As part of the cost savings plan, Legacy XTI installed a compensation reduction directive and retention bonus program impacting all employees and several current consultants. Accrued deferred compensation amounts under the cost savings plan will be repaid to participating individuals when executive management, at its sole discretion, determines that sufficient funding has been received by the Company, provided, in the case of employees, that such employees remain employed with the Company on such date.
As part of the plan, Legacy XTI granted participants a retention bonus, of either cash or equity, at the participant’s discretion, equal in value to three months of their monthly deferred compensation amount, if cash, or six months of their monthly deferred compensation amount, if equity, if the employee remains with the Company at the “earn date,” which is defined as six months after the date on which the deferred compensation described above is repaid.
Upon receiving additional financing during the first quarter of 2023, Legacy XTI restored the salaries of all employees to the original salary amount, effective with the semi-monthly payroll ended March 31, 2023.
As of the date of this report, the Company has obligations of approximatel y $0.2 million and $0.2 million , respectively, relating to deferred compensation and retention bonuses under this plan.
Agreements with Prior "Legacy Inpixon" CEO

Mr. Ali, through a company of which he is a controlling member, currently holds shares of the Company's Series 9 Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Ali Consulting Agreement, following the closing of the XTI Merger, Mr. Ali will provide consulting services to the Company for 15 months ("Ali Consulting Period") or until earlier termination in accordance with its terms. During the Ali Consulting Period, the Company will pay him an aggregate of $0.3 million.

Ali under the Ali Consulting Agreement. As of the date of this report, the Company owed Mr. Ali accrued consulting fees of approximately $1.0 million.
Consulting Arrangement with Prior "Legacy Inpixon" CFO
On March 12, 2024, the Company also entered into a Consulting Agreement with Ms. Wendy Loundermon (the “Loundermon Consulting Agreement”), the Company's former Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to the Loundermon Consulting Agreement, following the Closing, Ms. Loundermon will provide consulting services to the Company for one year or until earlier termination in accordance with its terms (the “Loundermon Consulting Period”).

Transaction Bonus Plan
On July 24, 2023, the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) adopted a Transaction Bonus Plan, which was amended on March 11, 2024, and was intended to provide incentives to certain employees and other service providers to remain with the Company through the consummation of a qualifying transaction. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company accrued 100% or $6.7 million of the transaction bonuses, which is included in general and administrative within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, as the bonuses became payable upon the earlier of the closing of financing or June 30, 2024. As of the date of this report, the Company had an aggregate transaction bonus obligation outstanding of approximately 5.5 million.
Risks and Uncertainties
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $11.9 million, and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had a net loss of approximately $21.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company used approximately $14.3 million of cash for operating activities.
There can be no assurances that the Company will ever earn revenues sufficient to support its operations, or that it will ever be profitable. In order to continue its operations, the Company has historically supplemented the revenues it earned with proceeds from the sale of our equity, including through our ATM Offering with Maxim (as discussed below), and debt securities and proceeds from loans and bank credit lines. We believe that our current revenue, as supplemented by proceeds from our financings, will provide us with liquidity to fund our planned operating needs into the second quarter of 2025. Therefore, we will need to secure additional capital or financing and/or significantly delay, defer or reduce our cash expenditures over the next two quarters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital or financing on terms acceptable to us, on a timely basis or at all.
As discussed in Note 10 of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I, Item 1 of this report, the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of the Company’s common stock under its ATM Offering through Maxim, as the Company’s exclusive sales agent. Maxim is entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold excluding Maxim's costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its services, including the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of its legal counsel. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold 3,190,727 shares of common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement at per share prices between approximately $0.19 and $0.43, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $1.0 million.
As of the date of this report, there was approximately $38.6 million in common stock gross sales remaining under the Equity Distribution Agreement, subject to the limitations set forth in the Series 9 ATM Consent, which, among other things, provides that the Company may not register shares under the ATM Offering in excess of $47.4 million (the "ATM Maximum Amount") without the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined below), and the Company may not issue or sell more than $6 million of additional shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM Offering (the "Initial Tranche") without the Required Holders’ prior written consent, which consent the Company is required to obtain for each additional $5 million in sales of common stock under the ATM Offering after the Initial Tranche up to the ATM Maximum Amount. "Required Holders" is defined in the Series 9 Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation as the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Series 9 Preferred Stock; provided that, pursuant to that certain securities purchase agreement dated as of March 12, 2024, between the Company and 3AM Investments LLC (an entity controlled by the Company's former director and former Chief Executive Officer, Nadir Ali) (the "Purchaser"), the Purchaser will be deemed a "Required Holder" as defined in the Series 9 Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation as long as the Purchaser holds any shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock.

The Company's recurring losses and utilization of cash in its operations are indicators of going concern. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date the financial statements are issued. Management’s plans and assessment of the probability that such plans will mitigate and alleviate any substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, and attain further operating efficiency, which is uncertain, which together represent the principal conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There can be no assurance that any additional capital, whether in the form of equity or debt financing, will be sufficient or available and, if available, that such capital will be offered on terms and conditions acceptable to us. We are currently seeking additional financing in order to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future. If we are unable to fund our operations, we will be required to evaluate further alternatives, which could include curtailing or suspending operations, reducing headcount, selling the Company, dissolving and liquidating its assets or seeking protection under the bankruptcy laws. A determination to take any of these actions could occur at a time that is earlier than when we would otherwise exhaust our cash resources.
