ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report, as well as our audited financial statements and related notes included in our most recent Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the eight months ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-KT”). In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis here and throughout this report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, the risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-KT.

Business Overview

We are a real estate technology company developing an end-to-end commission-free homebuying platform, which we have named Claire. Utilizing the power of AI and an acquisition-led growth strategy, our goal is to offer a more affordable, streamlined experience for those on the journey to homeownership. Claire integrates AI-driven tools to offer tailored property recommendations, an intuitive visual interface, and included digital title and escrow services. The tagline: “No fees. Just keys. ^TM” reflects our dedication to eliminating traditional barriers and making homebuying more accessible and transparent.

Claire was announced on April 24, 2024, and it assists homebuyers with tasks such as mortgage pre-approval, booking tours, sending offer letters and completing property acquisitions. Claire also provides market insights, detailed property data, and uses large language models to answer queries and facilitate the homebuying process via a user-friendly, 24/7 web platform. Claire’s capabilities are complemented and supported by reAlpha Realty, LLC, our in-house brokerage firm, on a no-obligation and commission free basis. Although Claire is currently only available for homebuyers in 20 counties in Florida, we intend to expand its capabilities nationwide by the end of 2026 depending on numerous factors, including, among other things, our ability to scale the platform, obtain additional data and successfully market the platform.  

Before shifting our focus towards the development of our AI technologies, our operational model was asset-heavy and built on utilizing our proprietary AI powered technology tools for the acquisition of real estate, converting them into short-term rentals, and enabling individual investors to acquire fractional interests in these real estate properties, allowing such investors to receive distributions based on the property’s performance as a short-term rental.

Due to current macroeconomic conditions, such as higher interest rates, inflation, and elevated property prices, our real estate acquisition operations have been halted. Instead, our current focus will be directed towards the continuous enhancement and refinement of Claire and our AI technologies for commercial use to generate technology-derived revenue. Further, as part of our growth strategy, we intend to continue identifying target companies that may be complementary to our business, and we intend to generate revenue from integrating such acquisitions that we may complete from time to time into our business. For instance, in May 2024, we announced the completion of the acquisition of Naamche (as defined below), and in July 2024, we announced the acquisition of AiChat (as defined below), both of which added additional sources of potential technology services revenue. Going forward, we expect to complete additional strategic acquisitions that we believe will add additional sources of potential revenue and services to homebuyers using Claire, including, but not limited to, mortgage brokerages, home insurance, title companies, AI product companies, and real estate brokerages. 

We may resume the complementary asset-heavy model from our rental business segment if the prevailing interest rates and other macroeconomic factors align more favorably with such business model. In the meantime, our growth strategy will encompass both organic and inorganic methods through commercialization of our AI technologies that are in varying stages of development and acquisitions of complementary businesses and technologies. In particular, we intend to acquire companies that we believe will complement our business model and accelerate our proposition to expand our technology offerings to customers by offering IT services, staffing and accounting services and others.

Our reportable segments consist of (i) technology services (formerly named “platform services”) and (ii) rental business. Our technology services segment offers and develops AI based products and services to customers in the real estate industry. We are actively developing four operating technologies that are in varying stages of development: GENA, reAlpha BRAIN, reAlpha App and our main AI-powered platform, Claire. Our rental business segment, to the extent we resume operations, focuses on purchasing properties for syndication, which process is powered by this segment’s technologies and products.

Technology Services (formerly “Platform Services”)

We seek to differentiate ourselves from competitors primarily through the integration of AI into our technologies for the real estate industry. We expect that our technology services segment will benefit from the current exponential growth of the AI industry, and we believe that we are well-positioned to take advantage of these current trends due to our early adoption of AI for the development of our technologies.

Our current technology services segment technologies include: (i) reAlpha BRAIN, (ii) reAlpha HUMINT, (iii) GENA, (iv) Claire and (v) reAlpha App.

myAlphie was a previously developed technology included in our technology services segment that was sold on May 17, 2023, and it stopped contributing to our revenues as of such date, except for the revenue generated for the ongoing technical support we are providing to the buyer of myAlphie, Turnit.

Although we have not yet generated revenues from our technologies, we expect that once our technologies are fully operational and available for commercial use by customers, we will generate revenue through subscriptions, licensing fees, pay-per-use basis or other fee arrangements. To the extent we resume operations of our short-term rental operations, we expect to receive fee-based revenues from customers that would utilize the reAlpha App for participating and investing in our Syndications (as defined below).

Rental Business

Our rental business segment operations are currently on hold due to current macroeconomic conditions, such as escalating interest rates, inflation, and elevated property prices. We anticipate resuming operations within this segment through the acquisition of properties and Syndications when the prevailing interest rates and other macroeconomic factors align more favorably with such business model.

To the extent we resume these operations, we plan to utilize our AI-powered technologies to analyze and acquire short-term rental properties that meet our internal investment criteria, or the “Investment Criteria,” which is analyzed and determined by our technologies, for syndication purposes, which short-term rental properties are referred to as “Target Properties.” Once the Target Properties are acquired, they are prepared for rent and listed on short-term rental sites, and, when warranted, disposed of for profits. We plan to make investing in our Target Properties available to investors via our subsidiary, Roost Enterprises, Inc. (“Rhove”). Rhove, along with Rhove Real Estate 1, LLC, reAlpha Acquisitions Churchill, LLC and future Syndication LLCs (the “Rhove SBU”), will create and manage limited liability companies (each, a “Syndication LLC”) to syndicate one or more of the Target Properties through exempt offerings. Once the Syndication LLCs are in place, Rhove will launch exempted offerings to sell membership interests in such properties to investors, through the purchase of membership interests in the Syndication LLCs, pursuant to Regulation A or Regulation D, each as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (each, a “Syndication”).  We refer to such investors as “Syndicate Members.” To further facilitate the investment process in the Syndication LLCs, our reAlpha App will work parallel with the Syndication process to allow investors to purchase membership interests in those properties and become Syndicate Members. We intend to generate revenue through our property Syndications on the reAlpha App to the extent we resume these operations.

Syndicate Members differ significantly to the holders of our common stock. Rights among Syndicate Members may also vary among each other depending on the specific terms and conditions agreed to in the offering documents pursuant to which the holder becomes a Syndicate Member. By becoming a Syndicate Member, the holder will not acquire any rights to the Company’s common stock and, therefore, will not be entitled to vote, receive a dividend or exercise any other rights of a stockholder of the Company. Likewise, acquiring shares of our common stock will not provide the stockholders the status of Syndicate Member. Both Syndicate Members and our stockholders will receive the same quarterly financial metric information of our listed properties through the reAlpha App and the reAlpha website, which will also be available to the general public without a login, concurrently with our condensed consolidated quarterly results (as more fully described under “Segments – Platform Services” above), to the extent we resume these operations. Syndicate members that have access to the reAlpha App will only receive personalized financial information respective to their individual holdings in each of our Syndications. To date, we have not developed a secondary trading market for equity interests in our Syndication LLCs. While the potential establishment of such a market may be considered in the future, we have not made any decisions to develop a secondary trading market at this time.

In addition to managing the property operations, whether internally or through third-parties, we will also manage the financial performance of the asset, such as evaluating if the after-repair value or appreciated value of the property is higher than the purchase price, or whether the property is ready to generate the expected profitability. Once our business model is fully implemented, we expect that Syndicate Members will hold up to 100% ownership of the Syndication LLC, and we would generate revenue through fees from the reAlpha App.

Recent Developments 

Acquisition of Naamche, Inc. and Naamche, Inc. Pvt. Ltd.

On December 3, 2023, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “First Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire from the selling shareholders (the “Sellers”) and representative of the Sellers named therein (the “Sellers’ Representative”) the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Naamche, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“U.S. Naamche”), not already owned by us (the “First Acquisition”). Concurrently with the First Purchase Agreement, we entered into a second Stock Purchase Agreement, which was subsequently amended, restated and superseded on February 2, 2024 (the “Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement,” together with the First Purchase Agreement, the “Purchase Agreements”), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Naamche, Inc. Pvt. Ltd., a corporation formed in the country of Nepal (“Nepal Naamche,” together with U.S. Naamche, “Naamche”) (the “Second Acquisition,” and together with the First Acquisition, the “Acquisitions”). The closing of the Acquisitions was subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set out in the Purchase Agreements, including the receipt of regulatory approval from the Department of Industries of Nepal.

On May 6, 2024, we completed the Acquisitions upon the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreements, including the regulatory approval by the Department of Industries of Nepal, which was received on March 6, 2024, except for the closing conditions requiring (i) the Sellers to deliver to us documentation issued by the appropriate authority in Nepal confirming contributions to the social security fund accounts of Sellers’ current employees in full and (ii) the written confirmation from the Sellers to remove the persons authorized to draw on or to have access to Nepal Naamche’s bank accounts and replace with the persons identified by us, both of which closing conditions were waived by us. As a result of the Acquisitions, we now own 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Naamche, and both entities are our wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Acquisition of AiChat Pte. Ltd.

On July 12, 2024, we entered into a Business Acquisition and Financing Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with AiChat Pte. Ltd., a company incorporated in the Republic of Singapore (“AiChat”), AiChat10X Pte. Ltd., a Singaporean company (the “Seller”), and Kester Poh Kah Yong (the “Founder”). Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, we acquired 85% of the outstanding ordinary shares of AiChat, an AI-driven company specializing in conversational customer experience solutions, from the Seller. The remaining 15% of AiChat’s shares will be acquired on June 30, 2025 (the “Acquisition”).

In exchange for the shares, we agreed to pay the Seller a total purchase price of $1,140,000, comprising of: (i) $312,000 in restricted shares of our common stock, priced at a 10% discount to the 10-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), to be issued no later than January 1, 2025 (the “First Tranche Shares”); (ii) $588,000 in restricted shares of common stock, also priced at a 10% discount to the VWAP, subject to any Base Case Adjustment (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement), to be issued no later than April 1, 2025 (the “Second Tranche Shares”); and (iii) $240,000 in restricted shares of common stock, calculated at a 5% discount to the VWAP, to be issued no later than December 1, 2025 (the “Third Tranche Shares,” collectively with the First Tranche Shares and the Second Tranche Shares, the “Tranche Shares”). Additionally, we agreed to subscribe to and purchase from AiChat: (i) 55,710 ordinary shares of AiChat at the closing of the Acquisition, for $60,000; and (ii) 222,841 ordinary shares of AiChat according to a disbursement schedule to be agreed upon by the Company, AiChat, and the Founder, for a total subscription price of $240,000.

The Tranche Shares will be subject to a 90-day restrictive period (the “Restricted Period”) following issuance, during which the Seller cannot sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the shares or request their registration under the Securities Act. After the Restricted Period, the shares will be deposited into the Seller’s designated account and then transferred to the Founder based on his beneficial ownership in the Seller. In order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), the total Tranche Shares issued cannot exceed 19.99% of our outstanding common stock immediately before the Acquisition Agreement, which equates to 8,860,213 shares (the “Cap Amount”). Any shares issued in excess of this amount will be paid in cash to the Seller, as specified in the Acquisition Agreement.

Additionally, we agreed to guarantee certain Singaporean bank loans from AiChat totaling approximately 862,092 Singapore Dollars (SGD). The Acquisition Agreement also includes the assignment of AiChat’s intellectual property rights from the Seller to us. Post-acquisition, the Seller will indemnify us and our affiliates against any liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses arising from third-party claims related to us and the Acquisition. The Acquisition Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions for transactions of this nature.

Acquisition of Controlling Interest of Hyperfast Title LLC

On July 24, 2024, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Hyperfast Purchase Agreement”) with David R. Breschi and Kristen Britton (the “Hyperfast Sellers”). Pursuant to this agreement, we acquired 85% of the outstanding membership interests in Hyperfast Title LLC (“Hyperfast”), a Florida-based company specializing in real estate closings and title insurance. Hyperfast was founded by the owners of Madison Settlement Services, LLC, a national title agency (the “Hyperfast Acquisition”). The Hyperfast Purchase Agreement includes standard representations, warranties, and covenants typical for transactions of this nature.

In conjunction with the Hyperfast Acquisition, we, the Hyperfast Sellers, and Hyperfast signed an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Operating Agreement”). The Operating Agreement outlines several key provisions, including: annual license fees to be paid to the Hyperfast Sellers, contingent on their continued service with Hyperfast; annual management fees based on Hyperfast’s operating margin; a right of first refusal for each Hyperfast member to purchase the interests of any member wishing to sell; and various rights for us, as the managing member, to acquire the Hyperfast Sellers’ membership interests, and for the Hyperfast Sellers to sell their respective interests in Hyperfast, all in accordance with the terms specified in the Operating Agreement.

Streeterville Capital, LLC Note Purchase Agreement and Secured Promissory Note

On August 14, 2024, we entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC (“Lender”) pursuant to which we issued and sold to the Lender a secured promissory note in the original principal amount of $5,455,000 (the “Note”). The Note carries an original issue discount of $435,000 and we agreed to pay $20,000 to the Lender to cover its legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs, each of which were deducted from the proceeds of the Note received by us resulting in a purchase price received by us of $5,000,000. Interest under the Note accrues at a rate of 8% per annum, and the unpaid amount of the Note, and any interest, fees, charges and late fees are due 18 months following the date of issuance. The Note and Purchase Agreement include certain material terms, including the Lender’s ability to redeem a portion of the Note from time to time beginning seven months after issuance, events of default and penalties associated therewith, restrictive covenants on our ability to issue securities, subject to exceptions set forth therein, a “most favored nation” provision, among others. In connection with the Note and Purchase Agreement, we and Rhove also entered into security agreements and intellectual security agreements in favor or the Lender, and our U.S. subsidiaries entered into a guaranty in favor of the Lender.

We also entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which Maxim agreed to serve as lead placement agent on a “reasonable best efforts basis” in connection with the sale of the Note and any additional notes (the “Placement”). Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, we agreed to pay Maxim a cash fee equal to 3.75% of the gross proceeds received by us for the Note and any additional notes and to reimburse Maxim for its reasonable accountable expenses, including legal fees, up to an aggregate amount of $10,000. In addition, if within nine months of a closing of a sale of the Note or any additional notes, we complete any financing of equity or equity-linked capital-raising activity with, or receives proceeds from, any of the investors that were introduced to us by Maxim in connection with the Placement, then we will pay Maxim a cash fee of 3.75% of the proceeds received from such financing.

See “Part II – Item 5. Other Information” of this report for more information on the Note, Purchase Agreement and related agreements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations. These policies and estimates require the application of significant judgment by management. These estimates can be materially affected by changes from period to period as economic factors and conditions outside of our control change. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. We believe the current assumptions and other considerations used to estimate amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q are appropriate.

This Form 10-Q and our Form 10-KT include discussions of our accounting policies, as well as methods and estimates used in the preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements. For further information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Form 10-KT, the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-KT and “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Since the filing of our Form 10-KT, we have not experienced a material change to our critical accounting policies or the methods and applications used to develop our accounting estimates.

Results of Operations

Pursuant to the merger (the “Downstream Merger”) between reAlpha Tech Corp. (the “Former Parent”) and reAlpha Asset Management, Inc. (the “Former Subsidiary”), our Former Parent merged with and into the Former Subsidiary, with the Company surviving the Downstream Merger. Because the Company acquired the Former Parent’s assets and liabilities upon consummation of the merger, the Former Parent’s financials became a part of the consolidated financial statements of the Company. As a result, the financial statements included in this prospectus and discussed herein reflect the operating results of both our Former Parent and the Company prior to March 21, 2023, which was the date on which the Downstream Merger closed, and our combined results, including those of the Former Parent, following the Downstream Merger closing date. 

Three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to three months ended June 30, 2023  

Revenues. For the three months ending June 30, 2024, revenue was $62,353, compared to $54,827 for the same period in 2023. Our revenues consist of the technology services segment income that we receive directly from, or services related to, our technologies. This increase in revenue is primarily due to revenue generated by Naamche, which we acquired on May 6, 2024, from providing technology services to third-parties.

Cost of Revenues. For the three months ending June 30, 2024, the cost of revenues was $18,250, compared to $30,442 for the same period in 2023. This decrease is mainly attributed to the elimination of property management fees associated with properties that we no longer own.

Repairs and Maintenance. For the three months ending June 30, 2024, repair and maintenance costs amounted to $846, a notable reduction from $24,645 for the same period in 2023. This decrease is mainly attributed to us currently holding no properties and having no repair and maintenance costs associated with properties during this period, while we had done repair work on certain properties in the previous comparable period to get them ready for sale.

Marketing and Advertising. For the three months ending June 30, 2024, marketing and advertising expenses totaled $130,378, up from $57,569 during the same period in 2023. This increase is mainly attributable to changes in certain cost classifications and higher marketing expenses related to Claire promotions.

Wages, Benefits and Payroll Taxes. For the three months ending June 30, 2024, wages, benefits, and payroll taxes totaled $476,179, compared to $296,186 for the same period in 2023. This increase is primarily due to retroactive salary adjustments for our executive officers, and the appointment of a new executive officer position and his associated salary.

Depreciation and Amortization. For the three months ending June 30, 2024 depreciation and amortization expenses were $69,331, compared to $23,242 for the same period in 2023. The increase is attributable to the amortization of identifiable intangible assets resulting from the purchase price allocation of the Rhove acquisition.

Other Operating Expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, other expenses amounted to $176,162, up from $47,947 for the same period in 2023. This increase is mainly attributed to directors’ and officers’ insurance costs and changes in certain cost classifications.

Other Income. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, other income was $129,388 compared to $2,140 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase is mainly attributed to fair value measurement of our previously held investment in Naamche, which was incurred in connection with Naamche’s acquisition.

Gain on Sale of myAlphie. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, gain on the sale of myAlphie was $0, compared to $5,502,774 for the same period in 2023. This decrease is a result of the one-time gain from the sale of the myAlphie platform in the previous reporting period.

Interest Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, interest expense was $1,041, compared to $49,379 for the same period in 2023. This reduction in interest expense is attributable to the repayment of mortgage loans following the sale of our properties.

Other Expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 other non-operating expenses were $396,756, compared to $16,179 for the same period in 2023. This increase is mainly attributed to the amortization expenses of the commitment fee incurred in connection with the equity facility we have in place with GEM Global Yield LLC SCS and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (collectively, “GEM”) and stock-based compensation issued to employees and certain directors.

Analysis of Segment Results:

 The following is an analysis of our results by reportable segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023. For further information regarding our reportable business segments, refer to our unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

Technology (formerly “Platform”) Services

Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenue for the technology services segment was $62,353, compared to $32,253 for the same period in2023. This increase in revenue is mainly attributed to revenue generated by Naamche, which we acquired on May 6, 2024, from providing technology services to third-parties. 

Cost of revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, cost of revenues for the technology services segment was $18,250, compared to $26,644 for the same period in 2023. The cost of revenues consists of costs incurred in connection with the technical support services provided to Turnit in connection with myAlphie’s sale. The decrease in cost of revenues was attributed to the limited technical support provided to Turnit.

Rental Business

Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenue for the rental business segment was $0 compared to $22,574 for the same period in 2023 as the decrease is attributable to sale of the properties we previously held for this segment’s operations as a result of putting these operations on hold.

Cost of revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, cost of revenue for the rental business segment was $0 compared to $3,798 for the same period in 2023. This decrease is mainly attributed to the sale of properties, which decreased the associated costs of maintaining those properties. 

Six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to six months ended June 30, 2023

Revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, revenue was $82,779 compared to $166,278 for the same period in 2023. Our revenues consist of the technology services segment income that we receive directly from, or services related to, our technologies and revenue that we receive from short-term rental properties, if any. This decrease in revenue is mainly attributable due to the sale of our properties, and deriving no income from such rental segment during the six months ended June 30, 2024, since we currently hold no properties, and the sale of myAlphie which was generating technology services revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Cost of Revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the cost of revenues were $36,499 compared to $119,158 for the same period in 2023. The decrease in cost of revenues is mainly attributed due to the sale of myAlphie, since we no longer incur any direct costs related to operating the myAlphie platform.

Repairs and Maintenance. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, repair and maintenance costs amounted to $1,595 compared to $29,106 for the same period in 2023. This decrease is mainly attributable to us currently holding no properties and having no repair and maintenance costs associated with any properties during this period, while we had done repair work on certain properties in the previous comparable period to get them ready for sale.

Marketing and Advertising. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, marketing and advertising expenses were $207,740 compared to $146,669 for the same period in 2023. This increase is mainly attributable to minor changes in certain cost classifications and higher marketing expenses related to Claire promotions.

Wages, Benefits, and Payroll Taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, wages, benefits, and payroll taxes were $895,084 compared to $482,443 for the same period in 2023. This increase is mainly attributable to the recent retroactive salary adjustments to our executive officers, in addition to the creation of a new executive officer position and the associated salary therewith.

Depreciation and Amortization. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, depreciation and amortization were $140,784 compared to $71,245 for the same period in 2023. The increase is attributable to the amortization of identifiable intangible assets resulting from the purchase price allocation of the Rhove acquisition.

Other Operating Expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, other expenses were $314,029 compared to $113,582 for the same period in 2023. This increase is primarily attributable to directors’ and officers’ insurance costs and changes in certain cost classifications.

Other Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, other income was $129,388 compared to $2,140 for the same period in 2023. This increase is mainly attributed to fair value measurement of our previously held investment in Naamche, which was incurred in connection with Naamche’s acquisition.

Gain on Sale of myAlphie. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, gain on sale of myAlphie was $0 compared to $5,502,774 for the same period in 2023, because this was a one-time gain from the sale of the myAlphie platform during such period.

Interest Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, interest expense was $11,843 compared to $91,191 for the same period in 2023. This decrease in interest expense is attributable to repayments of mortgage loans upon the sale of certain properties.

Other Expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, other non-operating expenses were $571,488 compared to $76,772 for the same period in 2023. This increase is mainly attributable to the amortization expenses of the commitment fee incurred in connection with the equity facility we have in place with GEM Global Yield LLC SCS and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (collectively, “GEM”) and stock-based compensation issued to employees and certain directors.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”), we believe “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Net income per share,” both “non-GAAP financial measures”, as such term is defined under the rules of the SEC, are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Net income per share to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

We reconcile our non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to our net income, adjusted to exclude interest expense, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain charges or gains resulting from non-recurring events.

We reconcile our non-GAAP financial measure of Net income per share to our net income, adjusted to exclude provision for depreciation and amortization of certain intangible assets, share-based compensation and certain charges or gains resulting from non-recurring events.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and Net income per share, respectively:

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Liquidity describes the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the cash requirements of its business operations, including working capital needs, debt services, acquisitions, contractual obligations and other commitments. Our liquidity and capital resources are critical to our ability to execute our business plan and achieve our strategic objectives. Accordingly, to the extent that collections from our short-term rentals, if any, and technologies cannot fund our operations, we intend to utilize equity or debt offerings to raise these funds, although volatility in the capital markets may negatively affect our ability to do so. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all. Our ability to raise additional capital will depend on various factors, including market conditions, investor demand, and our financial performance.

We had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.7 million as of June 30, 2024 and approximately $6.5 million as of December 31, 2023. Based on our estimates, we believe we do not have sufficient working capital to meet our financial needs for the 12-month period following June 30, 2024. Further, while we anticipate continued operating losses in the near future, we are confident in our strategy to continue investing in the commercialization of our products and technologies and our ability to continue operations. If we are unable to cover our operating expenses for the next 12-month period through the commercialization of our technologies, or if we are unable to raise sufficient capital through additional debt or equity arrangements, to the extent needed, there will be uncertainty regarding our ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate the business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe we have alleviated the substantial doubt of our ability to continue operations by securing funding of approximately $5.45 million in gross proceeds pursuant to the issuance of a secured note on August 14, 2024, pursuant to which we raised approximately $5.0 million in net proceeds, after paying related expenses and fees (see “Note 3 – Going Concern” above and “Item 5. Other Information” below for additional information).

As of June 30, 2024, pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement entered into on December 1, 2022, between us and GEM (the “GEM Agreement”), we can issue and sell to GEM up to an aggregate value of $100 million in shares of our common stock pursuant to draw down notices in accordance with the GEM Agreement. At this time, we do not intend to draw down on the GEM Agreement, but we will continuously evaluate our cash-on-hand position and business operations needs going forward. We, in our sole discretion, may draw down from the GEM Agreement in the future as our business operations evolve and more working capital to fund operations is needed.

We may also receive proceeds from the cash exercises of the warrants issued in connection with the GEM Agreement (the “GEM Warrants”) and the warrants issued in connection with our public offering from November 2023 (the “Follow-On Warrants,” and together with the GEM Warrants, the “Warrants”). We believe the likelihood that any Warrant holders will exercise their warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the trading price of our common stock. Unless the trading price for our common stock is less than $371.90 per share, in the case of the GEM Warrants, or $5.00 per share in the case of the Follow-On Warrants, we believe holders of the Warrants will be unlikely to exercise them. While current conditions influencing the exercise of the Warrants make such exercise unlikely, further adjustments to their exercise price may make the Warrants more attractive for investors to exercise. Further, the Follow-On Warrants contain “full ratchet” anti-dilution provisions that provide for a downward adjustment to its exercise price, subject to a floor price of $1.44 per share, as a result of subsequent offerings, and the share amount issuable pursuant to such warrants would increase such that the aggregate exercise price payable thereunder would equal the aggregate exercise price prior to such adjustment. Our analysis is based on the reported closing price of our common stock as August 13, 2024, which was $1.21 per share.   

Further, the cost of capital and historically high-interest rates can have a direct impact on our ability to raise capital through debt or equity offerings or to pursue acquisitions. Economic environments yielding higher interest rates with more stringent debt terms such as today’s market environment require larger equity commitments. This means that, as larger equity commitments are required, we will have less leverage and may have fewer acquisitions overall.

Our business model requires significant capital expenditures to build and maintain the infrastructure and technology required to support our operations. In addition, we may incur additional costs associated with research and development of new products and services, expansion into new markets or geographies, and general corporate overhead. As a result, we may require additional financing in the future to fund these initiatives, which may include additional equity or debt financing or strategic partnerships. We currently do not have any commitments or arrangements for additional financing, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when required, we may be forced to reduce the scope of our operations, delay the launch of new products or services, or take other actions that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We may also be required to seek additional financing on terms that are unfavorable to us, which could result in the dilution of our stockholders’ ownership interests or the imposition of burdensome terms and restrictions.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the periods presented.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,550,879 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $2,358,359 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The difference in net cash flows from operating activities was mainly attributable to increase in accounts payable and the decrease in prepaid expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the six months ending June 30, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $79,423, whereas for the same period in 2023, net cash provided by investing activities was $228,254. This change in cash flows from investing activities is mainly attributable to increased capitalization of software development costs during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
