Public companies are required to disclose risks that can affect the business and impact the stock. These disclosures are known as “Risk Factors”. Companies disclose these risks in their yearly (Form 10-K), quarterly earnings (Form 10-Q), or “foreign private issuer” reports (Form 20-F). Risk factors show the challenges a company faces. Investors can consider the worst-case scenarios before making an investment. TipRanks’ Risk Analysis categorizes risks based on proprietary classification algorithms and machine learning.

JetAI disclosed 42 risk factors in its most recent earnings report. JetAI reported the most risks in the “Finance & Corporate” category.

If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our shares, limit our ability to access existing liquidity facilities and make obtaining future financing more difficult for us.

Our Common Stock is currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "JTAI". On December 1, 2023, the Company received a notification letter (the "Initial Notice Letter") from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq notifying the Company that its amount of stockholders' equity has fallen below the $10 million required minimum for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A) (the "Minimum Stockholders' Equity Requirement"). The Company's stockholders' deficit as of December 31, 2023 was $(3,963,039). The Initial Notice Letter also noted that as of September 30, 2023, the Company did not meet The Nasdaq Global Market alternative listing criteria for the "Market Value" standard or the "Total Assets / Total Revenues" standard. On August 14, 2024, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel granted the Company's request to transfer the Company's securities from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market effective as of August 16, 2024. On April 14, 2024, the Company received an additional notification letter from Nasdaq (the "Second Notice Letter") stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), as the minimum bid price of the Company's Class A Common Stock had been below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's Common Stock on Nasdaq. The Company had 180 calendar days, or until October 14, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the minimum bid price of the Company's Common Stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-calendar day grace period. The Company did not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by October 14, 2024, however, the Company, may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period because it elected to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company's failure to regain compliance during this period could result in delisting. The Company effected a reverse stock split on November 12, 2024 to, in part, cause the Company to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On May 30, 2024, the Company received an additional notification letter from Nasdaq (the "Third Notice Letter") stating that the Company has not regained compliance with the Minimum Stockholders' Equity Requirement for continued listing discussed in the Initial Notice Letter, which it was required to meet by May 29, 2024 pursuant to its compliance plan. The Third Notice Letter notified the Company that, unless the Company requested an appeal hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") by June 6, 2024, trading of the Company's Common Stock would be suspended at the opening of business on June 10, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE would be filed with the SEC, which would remove the Company's securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq (such notification, the "Delisting Notice"). As directed in the Third Notice Letter, the Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel and paid the applicable fee to appeal the Delisting Notice. The Delisting Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's Common Stock. The Company's hearing request stayed the suspension of trading on the Company's securities, and the Company's securities continue to trade on Nasdaq. On August 14, 2024, in connection the implementation of the Company's compliance plan, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel granted the Company's request to transfer the Company's securities from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market effective as August 16, 2024. Further the Nasdaq Hearings Panel granted the Company's request to have until November 26, 2024 to demonstrate compliance with its previously submitted plan, a deadline that the Company believes to be attainable. The Company is working diligently to cure the deficiencies set forth in the Delisting Notice and believes it can regain compliance with the continued listing requirements on or before November 26, 2024. Although the Company believes it will be able to achieve compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with all applicable requirements or maintain compliance with any other listing requirements within the time frame required by Nasdaq or at all, particularly if the Company's stock price trades below $1.00 for a sustained period. Nasdaq's determination that we fail to meet the continued listing standards of Nasdaq may result in our securities being delisted from Nasdaq as set forth in the Delisting Notice. A delisting of our Common Stock and our inability to list on another national securities market could negatively impact us by: (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our Common Stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our Common Stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting our ability to use certain registration statements to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby limiting our ability to access the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees. In addition, a delisting of our Common Stock would prevent us from being able to access financing under the Share Purchase Agreement. Furthermore, the Company may have to pay all or a portion of the $800,000 commitment fee due under the Share Purchase Agreement in cash if its shares are no longer listed. The Company may not have sufficient funds to be able to pay such fee. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources."

Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2

The Company is an early stage company with a limited operating history.

The Company's predecessor operating company Jet Token, Inc. was formed on June 4, 2018. Accordingly, the Company has a limited history upon which an investor can evaluate its performance and future prospects. The Company has a short history and a limited number of aircraft and related customers. The Company's current and proposed operations are subject to all business risks associated with newer enterprises. These include likely fluctuations in operating results as the Company reacts to developments in its markets, difficulty in managing its growth and the entry of competitors into the market. The Company has incurred net losses to date and anticipates continuing net losses for the foreseeable future. The Company cannot assure you that it will be profitable in the foreseeable future or generate sufficient profits to pay dividends. If the Company does achieve profitability, the Company cannot be certain that it will be able to sustain or increase such profitability. The Company has not consistently generated positive cash flow from operations, and it cannot be certain that it will be able to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future. To achieve and sustain profitability, the Company must accomplish numerous objectives, including broadening and stabilizing its sources of revenue and increasing the number of paying members to its service. Accomplishing these objectives may require significant capital investments. The Company cannot be assured that it will be able to achieve these objectives.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3

The Company's stock price may be volatile, and you may not be able to sell shares at or above the price at which you purchase shares or realize any value on your warrants.

Fluctuations in the price of the common stock could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. If an active market for our securities develops and continues, the trading price of common stock could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Factors affecting the trading price of our common stock may include: - the realization of any of the risk factors presented in this report; - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to Jet.AI; - failure to meet or exceed financial estimates and projections of the investment community or that Jet.AI provides to the public; - issuance of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts or changed recommendations for the industry in general; - announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations, financings, or capital commitments; - the volume of shares of common stock available for public sale; - operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to Jet.AI; - Jet.AI's ability to market new and enhanced products and technologies on a timely basis; - changes in laws and regulations affecting Jet.AI's business; - Jet.AI's ability to meet compliance requirements; - commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving Jet.AI; - changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning Jet.AI or the market in general; - the timing and magnitude of investments in the growth of the business; - actual or anticipated changes in laws and regulations; - additions or departures of key management or other personnel;- increased labor costs; - disputes or other developments related to intellectual property or other proprietary rights, including litigation; - the ability to market new and enhanced solutions on a timely basis; - sales of substantial amounts of the Jet.AI common stock by Jet.AI's directors, executive officers, significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur, including as a result of transactions under the Share Purchase Agreement and the Forward Purchase Agreement; - trading volume of our common stock, including as a result of transactions under the Share Purchase Agreement and the Forward Purchase Agreement; - changes in capital structure, including future issuances of securities or the incurrence of debt and the terms thereof; and - general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism. Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general and Nasdaq have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to Jet.AI could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of Jet.AI's securities also could adversely affect its ability to issue additional securities and its ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4

Anti-takeover provisions contained in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and applicable laws could impair a takeover attempt.

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation afford certain rights and powers to the Jet.AI Board that could contribute to the delay or prevention of an acquisition that it deems undesirable. Any of the foregoing provisions and terms that have the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our securities, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our securities.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5

Stockholders may experience dilution of their ownership interest due to the issuance of additional shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, especially since the Series B Preferred Stock has fluctuating conversion rates that are set at a discount to market prices of our shares of common stock during the period immediately following conversion.

We have raised approximately $1.5 million in financing through the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock in a private placement, and may issue additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon exercise of a warrant issued in the private placement for up to $15,000,000. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock automatically convert into shares of our common stock, subject to certain conditions and limitations, by the 10th trading day following their issuance at a conversion price based 90% of the trading price of our common stock, or 80% in the event we are delisted from Nasdaq. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Overview – Ionic Transaction." This could result in material dilution to existing stockholders of the Company. Because the conversion price is based upon the trading prices of our shares at the time of conversion, the number of shares into which the Series B Preferred Stock may be converted may increase without an upper bound. If the trading prices of our shares are low when the conversion price of the convertible debt is determined, we would be required to issue a greater number of shares to the converting holder, which could cause substantial dilution to our stockholders. In addition, if any or all of the holders Series B Preferred Stock convert and then sell our common stock, this could result in an imbalance of supply and demand for our common stock and reduce our stock price significantly. The further our stock price declines, the further the adjustment of the conversion price will fall and the greater the number of shares we will have to issue upon conversion, resulting in further dilution to our stockholders. Because a market price-based conversion formula can lead to dramatic stock price reductions and corresponding negative effects on both a company and its stockholders, convertible security financings with market price-based conversion ratios have colloquially been called "floorless," "toxic," and "death spiral," convertibles.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6

The issuances of additional shares of Jet.AI common stock under the Share Purchase Agreement and the GEM Warrant may result in dilution of future Jet.AI stockholders and have a negative impact on the market price of Jet.AI common stock.

The proceeds from the Business Combination, Forward Purchase Agreement and our existing cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to meet our working capital needs and we intend to draw on the Share Purchase Agreement to meet our cash needs. Further, our estimates may prove to be inaccurate, and we could spend our capital resources faster than we currently expect. Further, changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could also cause us to spend capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to seek additional funding sooner than planned. To the extent this occurs, it could impose significant dilution on the Company's stockholders. In addition to shares to be sold to GEM upon a drawdown, the Share Purchase Agreement entitles GEM to receive (i) payment of a commitment fee of $800,000 payable in either cash or common stock and (ii) the GEM Warrant. The shares issuable pursuant to the GEM Warrant were calculated on a fully diluted basis as of the closing of the Business Combination, which calculation included shares issuable upon exercise of the JTAIW Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants, the Merger Consideration Warrants, Jet Token options and Jet Token RSU Awards. If the JTAIW Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants, Merger Consideration Warrants, Jet Token options and/or Jet Token RSU Awards are not exercised in full or at all, and GEM exercises the GEM Warrant, then GEM could hold significantly more than 6% of the outstanding common stock of Jet.AI on a non-diluted basis. If the average closing price of Jet.AI's common stock for the 10 trading days following the first anniversary of the date of listing is less than 90% of the then current exercise price of the GEM Warrant, then the exercise price of the GEM Warrant will be adjusted to 110% of our then current trading price. The issuances of common stock pursuant to the GEM Warrant and the Share Purchase Agreement would result in dilution of future Jet.AI stockholders and could have a negative impact on the market price of common stock and Jet.AI's ability to obtain additional financing. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Overview – Share Purchase Agreement" for a description of the GEM Warrant.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7

Certain existing stockholders purchased our securities at a price below the current trading price of such securities, and may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price.

Given the relatively lower purchase prices that some of our stockholders paid to acquire some of their securities compared to the current trading price of our shares of common stock, these stockholders in some instances may earn a positive rate of return on their investment, which may be a significant positive rate of return, depending on the market price of our shares of common stock at the time that such stockholders choose to sell their shares of common stock. Public stockholders may not be able to experience the same positive rates of return on securities they purchase due to the low price at which some of our stockholders, particularly the Sponsor and Meteora, acquired shares of our common stock or the prices at which GEM may receive shares at the time of a drawdown under the Share Purchase Agreement.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8

Sales of Jet.AI common stock, or the perception of such sales, by us or our significant stockholders in the public market or otherwise could cause the market price for Jet.AI common stock to decline.

The sale of shares of common stock in the public market or otherwise, particularly sales by the Sponsor and our officers or directors following the expiration of lock-up restrictions expiring in August 2024, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of our common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that is deemed appropriate. Resales of common stock may cause the market price of our securities to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well. Certain stockholders purchased or were issued securities at prices that may be significantly below the trading price of our common stock: - Sponsor paid approximately $0.009 per share, for 2,875,000 Founder Shares and - Sponsor and Maxim paid approximately $1.00 per warrant, for 5,760,000 Private Placement Warrants. In connection with an extraordinary general meeting of Oxbridge shareholders in November 2022, in which Oxbridge asked its shareholders to vote to extend the date by which Oxbridge had to consummate a business combination, the holders of 10,313,048 Class A ordinary shares or approximately 90.0% of the shares with redemption rights at the time exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.22 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $105,424,960. Subsequently, in connection with the Meeting and the Business Combination, holders of 1,144,215 of Oxbridge's Class A Ordinary Shares, or approximately 96.4% of the shares with redemption rights at the time, exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.10 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $12,655,017. On August 8, 2023, pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, Meteora purchased 663,556 of the Class A ordinary shares from third parties through a broker in open market transactions or by reversing previously submitted redemption requests and waived its redemption rights with respect to these shares. Furthermore, Meteora purchased an additional 548,127 such shares. We have an effective registration statement covering the resale of up to 32,330,074 shares of common stock held by, or available upon exercise of warrants or other convertible securities by, certain of our stockholders, as well as the issuance by us of shares of common stock upon exercise of our outstanding warrants. Given the substantial number of shares of common stock registered for potential resale by these stockholders, the sale of shares by them, or the perception in the market that they intend to sell shares, could increase the volatility of the market price of our common stock or result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our common stock. Many of these stockholders have or may acquire their shares at a significant discount to the market price of our common stock. This will create an incentive for such stockholders to sell shares of our common stock because they purchased the shares at prices lower than the then-current trading price.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9

The JOBS Act permits "emerging growth companies" like us to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

We qualify as an "emerging growth company" as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including (a) the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (b) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements and (c) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. As a result, our shareholders may not have access to certain information they deem important. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (a) the last day of the fiscal year (i) following August 16, 2026, the fifth anniversary of our IPO, (ii) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion (as adjusted for inflation pursuant to SEC rules from time to time) or (iii) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our the shares of common stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our prior second fiscal quarter, and (b) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three year period. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the exemption from complying with new or revised accounting standards provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act as long as we are an emerging growth company. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our share price may be more volatile.

The Company has never paid cash dividends on its capital stock, and Jet.AI does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

The Company has never paid cash dividends on its capital stock and currently intends to retain any future earnings to fund the growth of its business, other than mandatory dividend payments on its preferred stock, subject to Delaware law. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the Jet.AI Board and will depend on Jet.AI's financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that the Jet.AI Board may deem relevant. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of Jet.AI's common stock will be the sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 2

The Company's operating results are expected to be difficult to predict based on a number of factors that also will affect its long-term performance.

The Company expects its operating results to fluctuate significantly in the future based on a variety of factors, many of which are outside its control and difficult to predict. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of the Company's operating results may not be a good indicator of its future or long-term performance. The following factors may affect the Company from period-to-period and may affect its long-term performance: - the Company may fail to successfully execute its business, marketing and other strategies; - the Company's ability to grow complementary products and service offerings may be limited, which could negatively impact its growth rate and financial performance; - the Company may be unable to attract new customers and/or retain existing customers;- the Company may require additional capital to finance strategic investments and operations, pursue business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances, and the Company cannot be sure that additional financing will be available; - the Company's historical growth rates may not be reflective of its future growth; - the Company's business and operating results may be significantly impacted by general economic conditions, the health of the U.S. aviation industry and risks associated with its aviation assets; - litigation or investigations involving the Company could result in material settlements, fines or penalties and may adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations; - existing or new adverse regulations or interpretations thereof applicable to the Company's industry may restrict its ability to expand or to operate its business as intended and may expose the Company to fines and other penalties; - the occurrence of geopolitical events such as war, terrorism, civil unrest, political instability, environmental or climatic factors, natural disaster, pandemic or epidemic outbreak, public health crisis and general economic conditions may have an adverse effect on the Company's business; - some of the Company's potential losses may not be covered by insurance, and the Company may be unable to obtain or maintain adequate insurance coverage; and - the Company is potentially subject to taxation-related risks in multiple jurisdictions, and changes in tax laws could have a material adverse effect on its business, cash flow, results of operations or financial condition.

Debt & Financing4 | 9.5%

Debt & Financing - Risk 1

The Company may not have enough funds to sustain the business until it becomes profitable.

The Company may not accurately anticipate how quickly it may use its funds and whether these funds are sufficient to bring the business to profitability.

Debt & Financing - Risk 2

If the Company cannot internally or externally finance its aircraft or generate sufficient funds to make payments to external financing sources, the Company may not succeed.

As is customary in the aviation industry, the Company is reliant on external financing for the acquisition of its aircraft and is likely to need additional financing in the future in order to grow its fleet. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenue or other funding to make payments on this lease arrangement, the lessor may take back the aircraft, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and reputation. Furthermore, if the Company does not have access to external financing for future aircraft, for whatever reason, including reasons relating to the Company's business or prospects or the broader economy, the Company may not be in a position to grow and/or survive.

Debt & Financing - Risk 3

The Company may not have enough capital as needed and may be required to raise more capital and the terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact your investment.

The Company anticipates needing access to credit in order to support its working capital requirements as it grows. Interest rates are rising, and it is a difficult environment for obtaining credit on favorable terms. If the Company cannot obtain credit when needed, the Company may issue debt or equity securities to raise funds, modify its growth plans, or take some other action. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impact operating results and convertible debt securities could result in diluting your interest in the Company. If the Company is unable to find additional capital on favorable terms, then it is possible that it will choose to cease its sales activity. In that case, the only asset remaining to generate a return on your investment could be the Company's intellectual property. Even if the Company is not forced to cease its sales activity, the unavailability of capital could result in the Company performing below expectations, which could adversely impact the value of your investment.

Debt & Financing - Risk 4

Jet.AI's sole material asset is its direct and indirect interests in its subsidiaries and, accordingly, Jet.AI will be dependent upon distributions from its subsidiaries to pay taxes and cover its corporate and other overhead expenses and pay dividends, if any, on the Jet.AI common stock.

Jet.AI is a holding company and it has no material assets other than its direct and indirect equity interests in its subsidiaries. Jet.AI will have no independent means of generating revenue. To the extent Jet.AI's subsidiaries have available cash, Jet.AI will cause its subsidiaries to make distributions of cash to pay taxes, cover Jet.AI's corporate and other overhead expenses and pay dividends, if any, on the common stock. To the extent that Jet.AI needs funds and its subsidiaries fail to generate sufficient cash flow to distribute funds to Jet.AI or are restricted from making such distributions or payments under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of their financing arrangements, or are otherwise unable to provide such funds, Jet.AI's liquidity and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 1

The Company may not be able to successfully implement its growth strategies.

The Company's growth strategies include, among other things, expanding its addressable market by opening up private aviation to non-members through our marketplace, expanding into new domestic markets and developing adjacent businesses. The Company faces numerous challenges in implementing its growth strategies, including its ability to execute on market, business, product/service and geographic expansions. The Company's strategies for growth are dependent on, among other things, its ability to expand existing products and service offerings and launch new products and service offerings. Although the Company devotes significant financial and other resources to the expansion of its products and service offerings, its efforts may not be commercially successful or achieve the desired results. The Company's financial results and its ability to maintain or improve its competitive position will depend on its ability to effectively gauge the direction of its key marketplaces and successfully identify, develop, market and sell new or improved products and services in these changing marketplaces. The Company's inability to successfully implement its growth strategies could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations and any assumptions underlying estimates of expected cost savings or expected revenues may be inaccurate.

The operation of aircraft is subject to various risks, and failure to maintain an acceptable safety record may have an adverse impact on our ability to obtain and retain customers.

The operation of aircraft is subject to various risks, including catastrophic disasters, crashes, mechanical failures and collisions, which may result in loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property and equipment. The Company may experience accidents in the future. These risks could endanger the safety of its customers, personnel, third parties, equipment, cargo and other property (both the Company's and that of third parties), as well as the environment. If any of these events were to occur, the Company could experience loss of revenue, termination of customer contracts, higher insurance rates, litigation, regulatory investigations and enforcement actions (including potential grounding of the Company's fleet and suspension or revocation of its operating authorities) and damage to its reputation and customer relationships. In addition, to the extent an accident occurs with an aircraft the Company operates or charters, the Company could be held liable for resulting damages, which may involve claims from injured passengers and survivors of deceased passengers. There can be no assurance that the amount of the Company's insurance coverage available in the event of such losses would be adequate to cover such losses, or that the Company would not be forced to bear substantial losses from such events, regardless of its insurance coverage. Moreover, any aircraft accident or incident, even if fully insured, and whether involving the Company or other private aircraft operators, could create a public perception that the Company is less safe or reliable than other private aircraft operators, which could cause customers to lose confidence and switch to other private aircraft operators or other means of transportation. In addition, any aircraft accident or incident, whether involving the Company or other private aircraft operators, could also affect the public's view of industry safety, which may reduce the amount of trust by customers. The Company incurs considerable costs to maintain the quality of (i) its safety program, (ii) its training programs and (iii) its fleet of aircraft. The Company cannot guarantee that these costs will not increase. Likewise, the Company cannot guarantee that its efforts will provide an adequate level of safety or an acceptable safety record. If the Company is unable to maintain an acceptable safety record, the Company may not be able to retain existing customers or attract new customers, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

In recent years, the Company has observed significant volatility in pilot attrition as a result of pilot wage and bonus increases at other industry participants and the growth of cargo, low-cost and ultra-low-cost airlines. If attrition rates are higher than the availability of replacement pilots, the Company's operations and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.

Manufacturing - Risk 3

The Company is exposed to operational disruptions due to maintenance.

The Company's fleet requires regular maintenance work, which may cause operational disruption. The Company's inability to perform timely maintenance and repairs can result in its aircraft being underutilized which could have an adverse impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations. On occasion, airframe manufacturers and/or regulatory authorities require mandatory or recommended modifications to be made across a particular fleet which may mean having to ground a particular type of aircraft. This may cause operational disruption to and impose significant costs on the Company. Moreover, as the Company's aircraft base increases, maintenance costs could potentially increase.

Employment / Personnel2 | 4.8%

Employment / Personnel - Risk 1

The Company's failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in the future could harm its business.

The Company believes that its future success will depend in large part on its ability to retain or attract highly qualified management, technical and other personnel. The Company may not be successful in retaining key personnel or in attracting other highly qualified personnel. If the Company is unable to retain or attract significant numbers of qualified management and other personnel, the Company may not be able to grow and expand its business.

Employment / Personnel - Risk 2

The supply of pilots to the airline industry is limited and may negatively affect the Company's operations and financial condition. Increases in labor costs may adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company's pilots are subject to stringent pilot qualification and crew member flight training standards , which among other things require minimum flight time for pilots and mandate strict rules to minimize pilot fatigue. The existence of such requirements effectively limits the supply of qualified pilot candidates and increases pilot salaries and related labor costs. A shortage of pilots would require the Company to further increase its labor costs, which would result in a material reduction in its earnings. Such requirements also impact pilot scheduling, work hours and the number of pilots required to be employed for the Company's operations. In addition, the Company's operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted if it is unable to train pilots in a timely manner. Due to an industry-wide shortage of qualified pilots, driven by the flight hours requirements under the FAA qualification standards and attrition resulting from the hiring needs of other industry participants, pilot training timelines have significantly increased and stressed the availability of flight simulators, instructors and related training equipment. As a result, the training of the Company's pilots may not be accomplished in a cost-efficient manner or in a manner timely enough to support the Company's operational needs.

Supply Chain3 | 7.1%

Supply Chain - Risk 1

The Company's business and reputation rely on, and will continue to rely on, third parties.

The Company has relied on a third-party app developer to develop the initial versions of its App and the Company may continue to rely on third parties for future development of portions of any new or revised App. In place of a third-party app developer, the Company relies both on internal development and freelance contractors supervised by the Company's Chief Technology Officer. The Company intends to continue to build its internal development team and to gradually decrease its reliance on external contractors for app development. If there were delays or complications in the further development of the App, this might result in difficulties that include but are not limited to the following: - Increased Development Costs: Extended development timelines can result in higher costs associated with personnel, software licenses, hardware, and other development resources. Delays may require additional investments to address technical issues, hire more personnel, or acquire additional technology or expertise to expedite the development process. These increased costs may negatively impact our financial performance and profitability. - Missed Time-to-Market Opportunities: Delays in app development may cause us to miss strategic market windows, limiting our ability to capture early adopters and gain a competitive advantage. Competitors may seize the opportunity to launch similar apps, potentially eroding our market share and diminishing our growth prospects. Our ability to generate revenue and establish a strong market presence may be compromised as a result. - Customer Dissatisfaction and Loss of Trust: If delays or complications prolong the release of our App, it may lead to customer frustration and disappointment. Anticipation for the app's availability may diminish, and users may turn to alternative solutions or competitors. Customer dissatisfaction can harm our reputation and brand image, resulting in a loss of trust and reducing customer loyalty and engagement with our products and services. - Negative Impact on Revenue and Financial Performance: The delay in launching our App may impact our revenue projections, financial forecasts, and investment plans. The inability to generate expected revenue streams can adversely affect our cash flow, profitability, and ability to meet financial obligations or raise additional capital. Our valuation and attractiveness to investors may also be negatively impacted. - Opportunity Costs and Competitive Disadvantage: Time spent on addressing delays and complications diverts management's attention and resources away from other strategic initiatives or product developments. We may miss out on potential partnership opportunities, market expansions, or product enhancements, resulting in missed revenue and growth opportunities. Competitors who successfully launch their apps within a shorter timeframe may gain a competitive advantage over us. - Loss of Investor Confidence: Extended delays or ongoing complications may erode investor confidence in our ability to execute our business plan successfully. Investors may question our management's capability, resulting in reduced investor interest, difficulty in raising funds, and a potential decline in our stock price. The loss of investor confidence can have broader implications for our overall financial stability and long-term viability. The Company also expects to rely heavily on its existing operating partner, Cirrus Aviation Services, to maintain and operate the Company's leased aircraft for charter services and the Company will rely on third party operators when its clients book flights through its platform with those operators. Both the Company and Cirrus actively book charter onto the Company aircraft. Cirrus books charter via its 24-hour charter department and the Company books charter via its App. The failure of these third parties to perform these roles properly may result in damage to the Company's reputation, loss of clients, potential litigation and other costs. The Company may also experience delays, defects, errors, or other problems with their work that could have an adverse effect on its results and its ability to achieve profitability.

Supply Chain - Risk 2

The Company relies on third-party Internet, mobile, and other products and services to deliver its mobile and web applications and flight management system offerings to customers, and any disruption of, or interference with, the Company's use of those services could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, and customers.

The Company's platform's continuing and uninterrupted performance is critical to its success. That platform is dependent on the performance and reliability of Internet, mobile, and other infrastructure services that are not under the Company's control. While the Company has engaged reputable vendors to provide these products or services, the Company does not have control over the operations of the facilities or systems used by its third-party providers. These facilities and systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural disasters, cybersecurity attacks, human error, terrorist attacks, power outages, pandemics, and similar events or acts of misconduct. In addition, any changes in one of the Company's third-party service provider's service levels may adversely affect the Company's ability to meet the requirements of its customers. While the Company believes it has implemented reasonable backup and disaster recovery plans, the Company has experienced, and expects that in the future it will experience, interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability from time to time due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, website hosting disruptions, capacity constraints, or external factors beyond the Company's control. Sustained or repeated system failures would reduce the attractiveness of the Company's offerings and could disrupt the Company's customers' businesses. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our performance, especially during peak usage times, as the Company expands its products and service offerings. Any negative publicity or user dissatisfaction arising from these disruptions could harm the Company's reputation and brand, may adversely affect the usage of the Company's offerings, and could harm the Company's business, financial condition and results of operation.

Supply Chain - Risk 3

The Company relies on third parties maintaining open marketplaces to distribute its mobile and web applications.

The success of the Company's App relies in part on third parties maintaining open marketplaces, including the Apple App Store and Google Play, which make our App available for download. The Company cannot be assured that the marketplaces through which it distributes its App will maintain their current structures or that such marketplaces will not charge the Company fees to list its App for download.

Costs1 | 2.4%

Costs - Risk 1

Significant increases in fuel costs could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fuel is essential to the operation of the Company's aircraft and to the Company's ability to carry out its transport services. Fuel costs are a key component of the Company's operating expenses. A significant increase in fuel costs may negatively impact the Company's revenue, margins, operating expenses and results of operations. While the Company may be able to pass increases in fuel costs on to its customers, increased fuel surcharges may affect the Company's revenue and retention if a prolonged period of high fuel costs occurs. To the extent there is a significant increase in fuel costs that affects the amount the Company's customers choose to fly, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Legal & Regulatory

Total Risks: 6/42 (14%)Below Sector Average

Regulation1 | 2.4%

Regulation - Risk 1

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws or regulations, may adversely affect our business, investments and results of operations.

We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. The Company's business is subject to significant regulation by the FAA, the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) as well as "know your customer" obligations and other laws and regulations. The laws and regulations concerning the selling of the Company's product or services may change and if they do then the selling of the Company's product or service may no longer be possible or profitable. In addition, we are required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.

Taxation & Government Incentives4 | 9.5%

Taxation & Government Incentives - Risk 1

Jet.AI is subject to risks related to taxation in the United States.

Significant judgments based on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations are required in determining Jet.AI's provision for income taxes. Jet.AI's effective income tax rate could be adversely affected by various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in the mix of earnings in tax jurisdictions with different statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in existing tax policies, laws, regulations or rates, changes in the level of non-deductible expenses (including share-based compensation), changes in the location of Jet.AI's operations, changes in Jet.AI's future levels of research and development spending, mergers and acquisitions or the results of examinations by various tax authorities. Although Jet.AI believes its tax estimates are reasonable, if the IRS or any other taxing authority disagrees with the positions taken on its tax returns, Jet.AI could have additional tax liability, including interest and penalties. If material, payment of such additional amounts upon final adjudication of any disputes could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

Taxation & Government Incentives - Risk 2

Changes to applicable tax laws and regulations or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect Jet.AI's business and future profitability.

One of the Company's predecessors, Oxbridge Acquisition Corp., was organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Jet.AI is a U.S. corporation and thus subject to U.S. corporate income tax on its worldwide income. Further, since Jet.AI's operations and customers are located throughout the United States, Jet.AI is subject to various U.S. state and local taxes. U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws, policies, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to Jet.AI and may have an adverse effect on its business and future profitability. For example, several tax proposals have been set forth that would, if enacted, make significant changes to U.S. tax laws. Such proposals include an increase in the U.S. income tax rate applicable to corporations (such as Jet.AI) from 21% to 28%. Congress may consider, and could include, some or all of these proposals in connection with tax reform that may be undertaken. It is unclear whether these or similar changes will be enacted and, if enacted, how soon any such changes could take effect. The passage of any legislation as a result of these proposals and other similar changes in U.S. federal income tax laws could adversely affect Jet.AI's business and future profitability.

Taxation & Government Incentives - Risk 3

As a result of plans to expand Jet.AI's business operations, including to jurisdictions in which tax laws may not be favorable, its obligations may change or fluctuate, become significantly more complex or become subject to greater risk of examination by taxing authorities, any of which could adversely affect Jet.AI's after-tax profitability and financial results.

In the event that Jet.AI's business expands domestically or internationally, its effective tax rates may fluctuate widely in the future. Future effective tax rates could be affected by operating losses in jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recorded under U.S. GAAP, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, or changes in tax laws. Factors that could materially affect Jet.AI's future effective tax rates include, but are not limited to: (a) changes in tax laws or the regulatory environment, (b) changes in accounting and tax standards or practices, (c) changes in the composition of operating income by tax jurisdiction and (d) pre-tax operating results of Jet.AI's business. Additionally, Jet.AI may be subject to significant income, withholding, and other tax obligations in the United States and may become subject to taxation in numerous additional U.S. state and local and non-U.S. jurisdictions with respect to income, operations and subsidiaries related to those jurisdictions. Jet.AI's after-tax profitability and financial results could be subject to volatility or be affected by numerous factors, including (a) the availability of tax deductions, credits, exemptions, refunds and other benefits to reduce tax liabilities, (b) changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if any, (c) the expected timing and amount of the release of any tax valuation allowances, (d) the tax treatment of stock-based compensation, (e) changes in the relative amount of earnings subject to tax in the various jurisdictions, (f) the potential business expansion into, or otherwise becoming subject to tax in, additional jurisdictions, (g) changes to existing intercompany structure (and any costs related thereto) and business operations, (h) the extent of intercompany transactions and the extent to which taxing authorities in relevant jurisdictions respect those intercompany transactions, and (i) the ability to structure business operations in an efficient and competitive manner. Outcomes from audits or examinations by taxing authorities could have an adverse effect on Jet.AI's after-tax profitability and financial condition. Additionally, the IRS and several foreign tax authorities have increasingly focused attention on intercompany transfer pricing with respect to sales of products and services and the use of intangibles. Tax authorities could disagree with Jet.AI's intercompany charges, cross-jurisdictional transfer pricing or other matters and assess additional taxes. If Jet.AI does not prevail in any such disagreements, Jet.AI's profitability may be affected. Jet.AI's after-tax profitability and financial results may also be adversely affected by changes in relevant tax laws and tax rates, treaties, regulations, administrative practices and principles, judicial decisions and interpretations thereof, in each case, possibly with retroactive effect.

Taxation & Government Incentives - Risk 4

Jet.AI's ability to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

In general, under Section 382 of the Code, a corporation that undergoes an "ownership change" is subject to limitations on its ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") to offset future taxable income. The limitations apply if a corporation undergoes an "ownership change," which is generally defined as a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in its equity ownership by certain stockholders over a three year period. If the Company has experienced an ownership change at any time since its incorporation, Jet.AI may be subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its existing NOLs and other tax attributes to offset taxable income or tax liability. In addition, future changes in Jet.AI's stock ownership, which may be outside of Jet.AI's control, may trigger an ownership change. Similar provisions of state tax law may also apply to limit Jet.AI's use of accumulated state tax attributes. As a result, even if Jet.AI earns net taxable income in the future, its ability to use its pre-change NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes to offset such taxable income or tax liability may be subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future income tax liability to Jet.AI.

Environmental / Social1 | 2.4%

Environmental / Social - Risk 1

Because the Company's software could be used to collect and store personal information, privacy concerns in the territories in which the Company operates could result in additional costs and liabilities to the Company or inhibit sales of its software.

The regulatory framework for privacy issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Many government bodies and agencies have adopted or are considering adopting laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, storage and disclosure of personal information and breach notification procedures. The Company is also required to comply with laws, rules and regulations relating to data security. Interpretation of these laws, rules and regulations and their application to the Company's software and services in applicable jurisdictions is ongoing and cannot be fully determined at this time. In the United States, these include rules and regulations promulgated under the authority of the Federal Trade Commission, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the "CCPA") and other state and federal laws relating to privacy and data security. By way of example, the CCPA requires covered businesses to provide new disclosures to California residents, provide them new ways to opt-out of certain disclosures of personal information, and allows for a new cause of action for data breaches. It includes a framework that includes potential statutory damages and private rights of action. There is some uncertainty as to how the CCPA, and similar privacy laws emerging in other states, could impact the Company's business as it depends on how such laws will be interpreted. As the Company expands its operations, compliance with privacy laws may increase its operating costs.

Ability to Sell

Total Risks: 5/42 (12%)Below Sector Average

Competition1 | 2.4%

Competition - Risk 1

The Company faces a high level of competition with numerous market participants with greater financial resources and operating experience.

The private air travel industry is extraordinarily competitive. Factors that affect competition in this industry include price, reliability, safety, regulations, professional reputation, aircraft availability, equipment and quality, consistency and ease of service, willingness and ability to serve specific airports or regions, and investment requirements. The Company plans to compete against private jet charter and fractional jet companies as well as business jet charter companies. Both the private jet charter companies and the business jet charter companies have numerous competitive advantages that enable them to attract customers. Jet.AI's access to a smaller aircraft fleet and regional focus puts it at a competitive disadvantage, particularly with respect to its appeal to business travelers who want to travel overseas. The fractional private jet companies and many of the business jet charter companies have access to larger fleets of aircraft and have greater financial resources, which would permit them to more effectively service customers. Due to the Company's relatively small size, it is more susceptible to their competitive activities, which could prevent the Company from attaining the level of sales required to sustain profitable operations. Recent consolidation in the industry, such as VistaJet's acquisitions of XOJET and JetSmarter and Wheels Up's acquisition of Delta Private Jets as well as Gama Aviation, a business jet services company, and increased consolidation in the future could further intensify the competitive environment the Company faces. There can be no assurance that the Company's competitors will not be successful in capturing a share of our present or potential customer base. The materialization of any of these risks could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Demand2 | 4.8%

Demand - Risk 1

Demand for the Company's product and services may decline due to factors beyond its control.

Demand for private jet charters may be negatively impacted by factors affecting air travel generally, such as adverse weather conditions, an outbreak of a contagious disease and other natural events, terrorism and increased security screening requirements. In particular, the recurrence of a pandemic, whether COVID-19 or otherwise, may result in a decline in air travel. Additionally, the reimposition of travel restrictions and other measures intended to contain the spread of any such virus may contribute to a decline in demand for air travel. If travel remains in a general decline for a significant period of time, the Company may be unable to compete with more established operators and may not be able to achieve profitability in the medium term or at all. More broadly, business jet travel is highly correlated to the performance of the economy, and an economic downturn, such as the current economic environment, which has been adversely affected by high rates of inflation, increasing interest rates, and low consumer sentiment, is likely to have a direct impact on the use of business jets. The Company's customers may consider private air travel through its products and services to be a luxury item, especially when compared to commercial air travel. As a result, any economic downturn which has an adverse effect on the Company's customers' spending habits could cause them to travel less frequently and, to the extent they travel, to travel using commercial air carriers or other means considered to be more economical than the Company's products and services. For example, beginning in 2008 and in connection with weakened macroeconomic conditions, the corporate and executive jet aviation industry, and companies that utilize corporate jets, experienced intensified political and media scrutiny. It is likely that the current economic downturn will impact demand for private jet travel for some time. Any of these factors that cause the demand for private jet travel to decline may also result in delays that could reduce the attractiveness of private air charter travel versus other means of transportation, particularly for shorter distance travel, which represents our primary market currently. Delays also frustrate passengers, affecting the Company's reputation and potentially reducing fleet utilization and charter bookings as a result of flight cancellations and increase costs. The Company may experience decreased demand, as well as a loss of reputation, in the event of an accident involving one of its aircraft or an aircraft booked through our platform or any actual or alleged misuse of its platform or aircraft by customers in violation of law. Demand for the Company's product and services may also decline due to actions that increase the cost of private air charter travel versus other forms of transportation, particularly efforts aimed at addressing climate change such as carbon tax initiatives or other actions. Any of the foregoing circumstances or events which reduced the demand for private jet charters could negatively impact the Company's ability to establish its business and achieve profitability.

Demand - Risk 2

The demand for the Company's services is subject to seasonal fluctuations.

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

Sales & Marketing1 | 2.4%

Sales & Marketing - Risk 1

Any failure to offer high-quality customer support may harm the Company's relationships with its customers and could adversely affect the Company's reputation, brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Through the Company's marketing, advertising, and communications with its customers, the Company sets the tone for its brand as aspirational but also within reach. The Company's strives to create high levels of customer satisfaction through the experience provided by its team and representatives. The ease and reliability of its offerings, including its ability to provide high-quality customer support, helps the Company attract and retain customers. The Company's ability to provide effective and timely support is largely dependent on its ability to attract and retain skilled employees who can support the Company's customers and are sufficiently knowledgeable about the Company's product and services. As the Company continues to grow its business and improve its platform, it will face challenges related to providing quality support at an increased scale. Any failure to provide efficient customer support, or a market perception that the Company does not maintain high-quality support, could adversely affect the Company's reputation, brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Brand / Reputation1 | 2.4%

Brand / Reputation - Risk 1

If efforts to continue to build a strong brand identity and improve member satisfaction and loyalty are not successful, the Company may not be able to attract or retain members, and its operating results may be adversely affected.

The Company must continue to build and maintain strong brand identity for its products and services, which have expanded over time. The Company believes that strong brand identity will continue to be important in attracting members. If the Company's efforts to promote and maintain its brand are not successful, the Company's operating results and our ability to attract members and other customers may be adversely affected. From time to time, the Company's members and other customers may express dissatisfaction with its products and service offerings, in part due to factors that could be outside of the Company's control, such as the timing and availability of aircraft and service interruptions driven by prevailing political, regulatory, or natural conditions. To the extent dissatisfaction with the Company's products and services is widespread or not adequately addressed, the Company's brand may be adversely impacted and its ability to attract and retain members may be adversely affected. With respect to the Company's planned expansion into additional markets, the Company will also need to establish its brand and to the extent it is not successful, the Company's business in new markets would be adversely impacted.

Tech & Innovation

Total Risks: 3/42 (7%)Below Sector Average

Trade Secrets1 | 2.4%

Trade Secrets - Risk 1

The Company may be unable to adequately protect its intellectual property interests or may be found infringing on the intellectual property interests of others.

The Company's intellectual property includes its trademarks, domain names, website, mobile and web applications, software (including our proprietary algorithms and data analytics engines), copyrights, trade secrets, and inventions (whether or not patentable). The Company believes that its intellectual property plays an important role in protecting its brand and the competitiveness of its business. If the Company does not adequately protect its intellectual property, its brand and reputation may be adversely affected and its ability to compete effectively may be impaired. The Company protects its intellectual property through a combination of trademarks, domain names and other measures. The Company has registered its trademarks and domain names that it currently uses in the United States. The Company's efforts may not be sufficient or effective. Further, the Company may be unable to prevent competitors from acquiring trademarks or domain names that are similar to or diminish the value of its intellectual property. In addition, it may be possible for other parties to copy or reverse engineer the Company's applications or other technology offerings. Moreover, the Company's proprietary algorithms, data analytics engines, or other software or trade secrets may be compromised by third parties or the Company's employees, which could cause the Company to lose any competitive advantage it may have from them. In addition, the Company's business is subject to the risk of third parties infringing its intellectual property. The Company may not always be successful in securing protection for, or identifying or stopping infringements of, its intellectual property and it may need to resort to litigation in the future to enforce its rights in this regard. Any such litigation could result in significant costs and a diversion of resources. Further, such enforcement efforts may result in a ruling that the Company's intellectual property rights are unenforceable. Moreover, companies in the aviation and technology industries are frequently subject to litigation based on allegations of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or other violations. As the Company expands and raises its profile, the likelihood of intellectual property claims being asserted against it grows. Further, the Company may acquire or introduce new technology offerings, which may increase the Company's exposure to patent and other intellectual property claims. Any intellectual property claims asserted against the Company, whether or not having any merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to settle or litigate. If the Company is unsuccessful in defending such a claim, it may be required to pay substantial damages or could be subject to an injunction or agree to a settlement that may prevent it from using its intellectual property or making its offerings available to customers. Some intellectual property claims may require the Company to seek a license to continue its operations, and those licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or may significantly increase the Company's operating expenses. If the Company is unable to procure a license, it may be required to develop non-infringing technological alternatives, which could require significant time and expense. Any of these events could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, or operations.

Cyber Security1 | 2.4%

Cyber Security - Risk 1

The Company is dependent on its information systems which may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks or other events.

The Company's operations are dependent on its information systems and the information collected, processed, stored, and handled by these systems. The Company relies heavily on its computer systems to manage its client account balances, booking, pricing, processing and other processes. The Company receives, retains and transmits certain confidential information, including personally identifiable information that its clients provide. In addition, for these operations, the Company depends in part on the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks to charter operators. The Company's information systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, facility damage, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches, including credit card or personally identifiable information breaches, coordinated cyber-attacks, vandalism, catastrophic events and human error. If the Company's platform is hacked, these funds could be at risk of being stolen which would damage the Company's reputation and likely its business. Any significant disruption or cyber-attacks on the Company's information systems, particularly those involving confidential information being accessed, obtained, damaged, or used by unauthorized or improper persons, could harm the Company's reputation and expose it to regulatory or legal actions and adversely affect its business and its financial results.

Technology1 | 2.4%

Technology - Risk 1

A delay or failure to identify and devise, invest in and implement certain important technology, business, and other initiatives could have a material impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

In order to operate its business, achieve its goals, and remain competitive, the Company continuously seeks to identify and devise, invest in, implement and pursue technology, business and other important initiatives, such as those relating to aircraft fleet structuring, business processes, information technology, initiatives seeking to ensure high quality service experience, and others. The Company's business and the aircraft the Company operates are characterized by changing technology, introductions and enhancements of models of aircraft and services and shifting customer demands, including technology preferences. The Company's future growth and financial performance will depend in part upon its ability to develop, market and integrate new services and to accommodate the latest technological advances and customer preferences. In addition, the introduction of new technologies or services that compete with the Company's product and services could result in its revenues decreasing over time. If the Company is unable to upgrade its operations or fleet with the latest technological advances in a timely manner, or at all, its business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.

Macro & Political

Total Risks: 3/42 (7%)Below Sector Average

International Operations1 | 2.4%

International Operations - Risk 1

The Company's business is primarily focused on certain targeted geographic regions, making it vulnerable to risks associated with having geographically concentrated operations.

Jet.AI's customer base is primarily concentrated in certain geographic regions of the United States. As a result, Jet.AI's business, financial condition and results of operations are susceptible to regional economic downturns and other regional factors, including state regulations and budget constraints and severe weather conditions, catastrophic events or other disruptions. As Jet.AI seeks to expand in its existing markets, opportunities for growth within these regions will become more limited and the geographic concentration of the Company's business may increase.

Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Split

We cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will increase our stock price over the long term. We expect that the 1-for-225 reverse split of our outstanding common stock effected on November 12, 2024 (the "Reverse Split") will increase the market price of our common stock to a level that would attract more investors. However, the continuing effect of the Reverse Split on the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of reverse stock splits for other companies is varied, particularly since some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively. It is possible that ultimately the per share price of our common stock after the Reverse Split will not increase in the same proportion as the reduction in the number of our outstanding shares of common stock following the Reverse Split, or if the price does increase, that the price can be maintained for any particular period of time. In either of those cases, such decline in price would cause a reduction in the value of our company as measured by our market capitalization, and the Reverse Split may not result in a per share price that would attract brokers and investors who do not trade in lower-priced stocks. In addition, although we believe the Reverse Split may enhance the desirability of our common stock to certain potential investors, we cannot assure you that our common stock will be more attractive to institutional or other long-term investors. After the Reverse Split, the market price of our common stock may ultimately decrease due to factors unrelated to the Reverse Split. In any case, the market price of our common stock may also be based on other factors which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including our future performance. After the consummation of the Reverse Split if the trading price of the common stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would have occurred in the absence of the Reverse Split. Even if the Reverse Split achieves the requisite increase in the market price of our common stock, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to comply with the minimum price requirement of Nasdaq. Even if the Reverse Split achieves the requisite increase in the market price of our common stock to be in compliance with the minimum bid price of the Nasdaq listing rules, there can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock following the Reverse Split will continue to remain at the level required for continuing compliance with that requirement. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company's common stock to decline in the period following a reverse stock split. If the market price of our common stock declines following the effectuation of the Reverse Split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split. In any event, other factors unrelated to the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, such as negative financial or operational results, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and jeopardize our ability to meet or maintain Nasdaq's minimum price requirement. The Reverse Split may decrease the liquidity of our common stock. The liquidity of the shares of our common stock may be affected adversely by the Reverse Split given the reduced number of shares that are outstanding following the Reverse Split, especially if the market price of our common stock does not increase proportionality as a result of the Reverse Split. Because the number of authorized shares of our common stock will not be reduced proportionately, the Reverse Stock Split increased the Board's ability to issue authorized and unissued shares without further stockholder action. The Reverse Split did not serve to decrease the authorized number of shares of common stock under our charter. Because the number of authorized shares of our common stock was not reduced proportionately, the Reverse Split increased the Board's ability to issue authorized and unissued shares without further stockholder action. Having a substantial number of authorized but unissued shares of stock, the issuance of which would be dilutive to our existing stockholders and may cause a decline in the trading price of our common stock. With respect to authorized but unissued and unreserved shares, we could also use such shares to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes in control or changes in or removal of management. Other than the foregoing, there are no existing plans, arrangements or understandings relating to the issuance of any of the authorized, but unissued and unreserved shares, whether available as a result of the Reverse Stock Split or otherwise.

Natural and Human Disruptions - Risk 2

Aviation businesses are often affected by factors beyond their control including: air traffic congestion at airports; airport slot restrictions; air traffic control inefficiencies; natural disasters; adverse weather conditions, such as hurricanes or blizzards; increased and changing security measures; changing regulatory and governmental requirements; new or changing travel-related taxes; or the outbreak of disease; any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

Like other aviation companies, the Company's business is affected by factors beyond its control, including air traffic congestion at airports, airport slot restrictions, air traffic control inefficiencies, natural disasters, adverse weather conditions, increased and changing security measures, changing regulatory and governmental requirements, new or changing travel-related taxes, or the outbreak of disease. Factors that cause flight delays frustrate passengers and increase operating costs and decrease revenues, which in turn could adversely affect profitability. In the United States, the federal government singularly controls all U.S. airspace, and aviation operators are completely dependent on the FAA to operate that airspace in a safe, efficient and affordable manner. The air traffic control system, which is operated by the FAA, faces challenges in managing the growing demand for U.S. air travel. U.S. air-traffic controllers often rely on outdated technologies that routinely overwhelm the system and compel aviation operators to fly inefficient, indirect routes resulting in delays and increased operational cost. In addition, there are currently proposals before Congress that could potentially lead to the privatization of the United States' air traffic control system, which could adversely affect the Company's business. Adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, winter snowstorms or earthquakes, can cause flight cancellations or significant delays. Cancellations or delays due to adverse weather conditions or natural disasters, air traffic control problems or inefficiencies, breaches in security or other factors may affect the Company to a greater degree than its competitors who may be able to recover more quickly from these events, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition to a greater degree than other air carriers. Any general reduction in passenger traffic could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?

Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment.

They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result.

It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.

How do companies disclose their risk factors?

Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process.

Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”.

Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report.

According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
