CXAPP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTE 1 – Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
CXApp Inc. and its subsidiaries (“CXApp” or the “Company”) is in the business of delivering intelligent enterprise workplace experiences. The CXApp SaaS platform is anchored on the intersection of customer experience (CX) and artificial intelligence (AI) providing digital transformation for the physical workplace for enhanced experiences across people, places and things.
The CXApp SaaS platform offers a suite of leading-edge technology workplace experience solutions including an enterprise employee application, indoor mapping, on-device positioning, augmented reality technologies, generative AI applications and an AI-based analytics platform, targeting the emerging hybrid workplace market. CXApp creates a connected workplace by reducing app overload, data fragmentation, and complex workflows and streamlines all capabilities through The Workplace SuperApp. All features, services and integrations are housed in one easy-to-access platform allowing businesses to deliver a more holistic employee experience in a hybrid workplace.
On September 25, 2022, an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), was entered into by and among Inpixon, KINS, CXApp, and KINS Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of KINS (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which KINS acquired Inpixon’s enterprise apps business (including its workplace experience technologies, indoor mapping, events platform, augmented reality and related business solutions) (“Legacy CXApp”) in exchange for the issuance of shares of KINS capital stock (the “Business Combination”). As a result of the Business Combination, KINS changed their name to CXApp Inc. (“CXApp”). The shares are now trading on the Nasdaq using the ticker CXAI. The transaction closed on March 14, 2023.
Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” “CXApp” and the “Company” refer to CXApp Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries following the Business Combination (as defined below), which closed in March 2023. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “KINS” refer to KINS Technology Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (“KINS”), prior to the Business Combination.
The Business Combination was accounted for using the acquisition method (as a forward merger) in accordance with ASC 805, with goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets recorded in accordance with GAAP, as applicable. Under this method of accounting, the “Enterprise Apps Business” (formerly known as CXApp) is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. KINS (now known as CXApp Inc.) has been determined to be the accounting acquirer because KINS maintains control of the Board of Directors and management of the combined company.
NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $4,017 thousand and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3,893 thousand. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred net loss of approximately $1,616 thousand and used approximately $979 thousand of cash for operating activities. During 2024, the Company secured additional funding through convertible Pre-Paid Purchases under the equity line agreement, receiving net proceeds of $2,480 thousand, $1,000 thousand, and $3,000 thousand in June, September, and December, respectively. These financing efforts reflect the Company’s proactive approach to maintaining adequate liquidity to support operational needs and strategic growth initiatives.
On March 26, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Avondale Capital, LLC (“Avondale”), pursuant to which the Company may (i) issue and sell one or more pre-paid purchase agreements, in the form substantially similar to the exhibit attached thereto (each, a “Pre-Paid Purchase”), up to an aggregate purchase amount of $20,000 thousand (the “Commitment Amount”) for shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), on the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in each Pre-Paid Purchase, (ii) issue and sell the initial Pre-Paid Purchase in the principal amount of $4,200 thousand (the “Initial Pre-Paid Purchase”), and (iii) deliver 80,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”) to Avondale at closing.
5
Under the Purchase Agreement, each Pre-Paid Purchase consists of a principal balance upon which Avondale, at its option, may require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock (“Purchase Shares”), from time to time, in satisfaction of all or part of the outstanding balance of such Pre-Paid Purchase. The Company will deliver these Purchase Shares at a per-share purchase price set forth in the Pre-Paid Purchase (the “Purchase Share Purchase Price”), subject to a defined floor price and other conditions. Each Pre-Paid Purchase is a separate instrument with its own outstanding balance and holding period.
The access to the $20,000 thousand is expected to provide sufficient capital to fund customer growth initiatives and ensure long-term sustainability. To date the Company has drawn $4,000 thousand of the $20,000 note.
The Company believes that these financing efforts can mitigate any going concern indicators for a period of at least one year from the date these financial statements are issued. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
Management remains focused on executing cost management strategies to optimize the Company’s expense structure and enhance operational efficiency. The Company is committed to expanding its customer base, introducing monetizable features, and driving recurring revenue growth in fiscal year 2025. By leveraging its current cash position, financing agreements, and strategic initiatives, management is confident in CXAI’s ability to meet its obligations and support its operations for at least the next 12 months. While there are no guarantees, the Company’s robust financing pipeline and operational strategies provide a solid foundation for long-term financial stability.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates consist of:
● | the valuation of stock-based compensation; |
● | the valuation of warrant liabilities; |
● | the allowance for credit losses; |
● | the valuation of convertible debt; | |
● | the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets; and |
● | impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill. |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other quarters or the year ending December 31, 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. For more complete financial information, these condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on April 7, 2025.
6
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and trade receivables. The Company’s cash is placed with high-credit-quality financial institutions, which periodically exceed federally insured limits. The Company’s cash equivalents are certificates of deposit held by a number of banks limited to $250 thousand per bank with a duration of 90 days or less. The Company has not realized any losses relating to its cash, cash equivalents, and trade receivables.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. 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. The Company has 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, the Company, 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 the Company’s consolidated 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, checking accounts, money market accounts, temporary investments and certificates of deposit with maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash equivalents of approximately $3,893 thousand of certificates of deposit held by a number of banks limited to $250 thousand per bank with a duration of 90 days or less. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $4,353 thousand of certificates of deposit.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivables are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses to ensure accounts receivables are not overstated due to un-collectability. Allowance for credit losses are maintained for various customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings, or deterioration in such customer’s operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to a customer change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted. The Company has no allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
7
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company depreciates its property and equipment for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the initial lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the economic useful life of the related assets, are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures, which extend the economic life, are capitalized. When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposal is recognized. Depreciation expense related to property and equipment is not included as part of cost of revenues, but as part of operating expenses.
Intangible Assets, net
Intangible assets primarily consist of developed technology, customer lists/relationships, non-compete agreements, intellectual property agreements, export licenses and trade names/trademarks. They are amortized ratably over a range of 5 to 10 years, which approximates customer attrition rate and technology obsolescence. The Company assesses the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event or other circumstances indicates that the Company may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the assets. Based on its assessments, the Company did not incur any impairment charges for both three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill for potential impairment at least annually, or more frequently if an event or other circumstance indicates that the Company may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the net assets of the reporting unit. The Company has determined that the reporting unit is the entire company, due to the integration of all of the Company’s activities. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company bypasses the qualitative assessment, or if the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the Company performs a quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount.
The Company calculates the estimated fair value of a reporting unit using a weighting of the income and market approaches. For the income approach, the Company uses internally developed discounted cash flow models that include the following assumptions, among others: projections of revenues, expenses, and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends; expected future investments to grow new units; and estimated discount rates. For the market approach, the Company uses internal analyses based primarily on market comparable, including public company method, guideline transaction method, and market price method.
The Company completed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment as of March 31, 2025 and determined that no impairment was necessary for the three months ended March 31, 2025. No goodwill impairment was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024, based on the annual goodwill impairment evaluation as of November 30, 2024 for the year ended December 31, 2024.The Company based these assumptions on its historical data and experience, third party appraisals, industry projections, micro and macro general economic condition projections, and its expectations. Based on its assessments, the Company did not incur impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
Leases and Right-of-Use Assets and Liabilities
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company generally uses their incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments, because the implicit rate of the lease is generally not known. Right-of-use assets related to the Company’s operating lease liabilities are measured at lease inception based on the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus any prepaid lease payments and less any lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms that are used in determining their operating lease liabilities at lease inception may include options to extend or terminate the leases when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. The Company amortizes their right-of-use assets as operating lease expense generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term and classify both the lease amortization and imputed interest as operating expenses. The Company does not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for any lease with an original lease term of less than one year.
8
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Income tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will either expire before the Company is able to realize the benefit, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
Comprehensive Loss and Foreign Currency Translation
The Company reports comprehensive loss and its components in its condensed consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments, affecting stockholders’ equity that, under GAAP, are excluded from net loss.
Assets and liabilities related to the Company’s foreign operations are calculated using the Philippine Peso and Canadian Dollar and are translated at end-of-period exchange rates, while the related revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company engages in foreign currency denominated transactions with customers that operate in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Aggregate foreign currency net transaction loss was approximately $1 thousand and gain of $54 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Convertible Debt
The Company issued convertible debt in the form of Pre-Paid Purchases during December 2024 and March 2025 (Settlement date April 2025) and evaluated such instruments to determine whether they contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815. Embedded derivatives must be separately measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met. The assessment of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract and the features of the derivatives. In accounting for the issuance of the convertible debt, the Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825. Under the fair value option election, the convertible debt is initially measured at its issuance date estimated fair value and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis. The estimated fair value adjustment is presented within change in fair value of derivative liability in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company classifies its convertible debt that are being valued under the fair value option election as Level 3 due to the lack of relevant observable market data over fair value inputs, such as the probability weighting of the various scenarios that can impact settlement of the arrangement. The Company recognized a loss on the changes in the estimated fair value of the convertible debt of approximately $118 thousand and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 respectively.
Debt Issuance Cost
Under the fair value option election, costs directly associated with the borrowing are expensed as incurred.
Debt Extinguishment
The note exchanges are accounted for under ASC 470-50 on Modifications and Extinguishments. This standard requires the recognition of a gain or loss on the difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue, in accordance with ASC 606, when control is transferred of the promised products or services to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. The Company derives revenue from its software as a service for cloud-based software, as well as design, implementation and other professional services for work performed in conjunction with its cloud-based software. The Company enters into contracts with its customers whereby it grants a non-exclusive cloud-based license for the use of its proprietary software and for professional services. The contracts may also provide for on-going services for a specified price, which may include maintenance services, designated support, and enhancements, upgrades and improvements to the software, depending on the contract. Licenses for cloud software provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. All software provides customers with the same functionality and differs mainly in the duration over which the customer benefits from the software.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard’s core principle is that an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard is a principles-based standard intended to better match the accounting for the transaction with the economics of the transaction. This requires entities to use more judgment and make more estimates than under previous revenue standards.
The standard introduces a five-step model for revenue recognition that replaces the four criteria for revenue recognition under previous GAAP. The five steps are shown below:
1. | Identify the contract with a customer; |
2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
3. | Determine the transaction price; |
4. | Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations; and |
5. | Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation |
License Subscription Revenue Recognition (Software As A Service)
With respect to sales of the Company’s license agreements, customers generally pay fixed annual fees in advance in exchange for the Company’s software service provided via electronic means, which are generally recognized ratably over the license term. Some agreements allow the customer to terminate their subscription contracts before the end of the applicable term, and in such cases the customer is generally entitled to a refund pro-rata but only for the elapsed time remaining at the point of termination, which would approximate the deferred revenue at such time. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied over time as the electronic services are provided continuously throughout the service period. The Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous access to its service. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 to 60 days from the receipt of a customer approved invoice.
The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition related to the licensing revenue stream is dependent on whether the software licensing agreement entered into represents a service. Software that relies on an entity’s IP and is delivered only through a hosting arrangement, where the customer cannot take possession of the software, is a service. Customers may purchase perpetual licenses or subscribe to licenses, which provide customers with the same functionality and differ mainly in the duration over which the customer benefits from the software.
Renewals or extensions of licenses are evaluated as distinct licenses and revenue attributed to the distinct service is not recognized until: (1) the entity provides the distinct license (or makes the license available) to the customer and (2) the customer is able to use and benefit from the distinct license. Renewal contracts are not combined with original contracts, and, as a result, the renewal right is evaluated in the same manner as all other additional rights granted after the initial contract. The revenue is not recognized until the customer can begin to use and benefit from the license, which is typically at the beginning of the license renewal period. The Company recognizes revenue resulting from renewal of licensed software over time.
10
Professional Services Revenue Recognition
The Company provides integration and software customization professional services to its customers.
Professional services under milestone contracts are accounted for using the percentage of completion method. As soon as the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized in the statement of operations in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Contract costs are expensed as incurred. Contract costs include all amounts that relate directly to the specific contract, are attributable to contract activity, and are specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract.
Professional services are also contracted on the fixed fee and in some cases on a time and materials basis. Fixed fees are paid monthly, in phases, or upon acceptance of deliverables. The Company’s time and materials contracts are paid weekly or monthly based on hours worked. Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized based on a fixed hourly rate as direct labor hours are expended. Materials, or other specified direct costs, are reimbursed as actual costs and may include markup. The Company has elected the practical expedient to recognize revenue for the right to invoice because the Company’s right to consideration corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance completed to date. For fixed fee contracts provided by in house personnel, the Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous service. Because the Company’s contracts have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations. Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the Company did not incur any such losses. These amounts are based on known and estimated factors.
Hardware Revenue Recognition
For sales of hardware, the Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled when the products are shipped to the customer, transferring title and ownership risks. Deliveries occur via drop-shipment by a third-party vendor and the Company leverages drop-ship arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouse. The Company negotiates sale prices, pays suppliers directly, manages credit risk, and ensures product acceptability, acting as the principal in the transaction and recording revenue on a gross basis. Customers typically pay within 30 to 60 days of invoice receipt. The Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the costs of obtaining a contract when they are incurred because the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is less than a year.
Contract Balances
The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to and payment by its customers. The Company records an unbilled receivable when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when invoicing a customer precedes the Company providing of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company had deferred revenue of approximately $2,804 thousand and $2,683 thousand as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, related to customer invoices rendered in advance for software licenses and professional services provided by the Company’s technical staff. The Company expects to satisfy its remaining performance obligations for the deferred revenue associated with professional services, and recognize the deferred revenue related to licenses generally over the remaining contract term which is generally twelve months following the commencement of the license. The Company recognized revenue in the reporting period of $991 thousand and $1,030 thousand, that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 respectively.
Costs to Obtain a Contract
The Company recognizes eligible sales commissions as an asset within prepaid expenses and other current assets as the commissions are an incremental cost of obtaining a contract with the customer and the Company expects to recover these costs. The capitalized costs are amortized over the expected contract term.
11
Cost to Fulfill a Contract
The Company incurs costs to fulfill their obligations under a contract once it has obtained the contract. These costs are generally not significant and are recorded to expense as incurred.
Multiple Performance Obligations
The Company enters into contracts with customers for its technology that include multiple performance obligations. Each distinct performance obligation was determined by whether the customer could benefit from the good or service on its own or together with readily available resources. The Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company’s process for determining standalone selling price considers multiple factors including the Company’s internal pricing model and market trends that may vary depending upon the facts and circumstances related to each performance obligation.
Sales and Use Taxes
The Company presents transactional taxes such as sales and use tax collected from customers and remitted to government authorities on a net basis.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred as part of cost of revenues. These costs were deemed to be de minimis during each of the reporting periods.
Research and Development
Research and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed when incurred. R&D expenses consist primarily of personnel and related headcount costs, costs of professional services associated with the ongoing development of the Company’s technology, and allocated overhead.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 “Business Combinations” using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value is recorded as goodwill. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. Upon acquisition, the accounts and results of operations are included as of and subsequent to the acquisition date.
Segments
The Company and its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), acting as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) determines its reporting units in accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). The Company evaluates a reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments under ASC 280. The Company then evaluates each operating segment to determine if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment that meet the definition of a business, the Company evaluates those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, the Company determines if the segments are economically similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated. The Company has one operating segment and reporting unit. The Company is organized and operated as one business. Management reviews its business as a single operating segment, using financial and other information rendered meaningful only by the fact that such information is presented and reviewed in the aggregate.
12
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. The Company has issued stock-based compensation awards in the form of options and restricted stock units. Fair value for options and restricted stock units are valued using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The grant date fair value is recognized over the requisite service period during which an employee and non-employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.
The grant date fair value of options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the average of the high and low stock prices at the grant date for awards under the CXApp Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The risk-free interest rate assumptions were based upon the observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the equity instruments. The expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company uses the simplified method to estimate the expected term.
The grant date fair value for restricted stock units is valued using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises these estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Derivative Warrant Liabilities
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. The Company currently has two sets of warrants outstanding, known as the Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants, which are both classified as a liability.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance or modification. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance as a warrant liability and adjusted to the then fair value in each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and amounted to a gain of $2,314 thousand, and loss of $1,472 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 respectively.
The Company utilized the Public Warrant quoted market price as the fair value of the Warrants as of each relevant date.
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are similarly calculated with the inclusion of dilutive common stock equivalents. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, basic and dilutive net income (loss) per common share were the same since the inclusion of common shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants, and vesting of restricted units in the calculation of diluted net loss per common shares would have been anti-dilutive.

Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC 820”), provides guidance on the development and disclosure of fair value measurements. The Company follows this authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
● | Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. |
● | Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data. |
● | Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little, or no market activity and values determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. |
Fair value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The fair value of the warrants has been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants, a Level 1 measurement. The Company recognized, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, an unrealized gain of $2,196 thousand and an unrealized loss of $1,472 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 respectively.
The Company accounts for its public and private warrants as a derivative liability initially measured at Its fair values and remeasured in the condensed consolidated statements of operations at the end of each reporting period. When the warrants are exercised, the corresponding derivative liability is de-recognized at the underlying fair value of the Class A common stock that is issued to the warrant holder less any cash paid in accordance with the warrant agreement. Upon either cash or cashless exercise, the de-recognized derivative liability results in an increase in additional paid in capital equal to the difference between the fair value of the underlying Class A common stock and its par value. A cashless exercise results in the warrant holder surrendering Class A common stock equal to the stated warrant exercise price based on the contractual terms in the warrant agreement that governs the cashless conversion.
The following table shows the changes in fair value of the liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024:

The Company accounts for convertible debt under the fair value option election using Level 3 inputs. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the Company recognized an unrealized loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss of $118 thousand and $0 respectively, which are presented as change in fair value of derivative liability. See additional details within Note 11, Convertible debt.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled and other receivables and accounts payable. The Company determines the estimated fair value of such financial instruments presented in the financial statements is equal to its carrying value due to their short-term nature.
Carrying Value, Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company follows FASB ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment” (“ASC 360”) for its long-lived assets. Pursuant to ASC 360-10-35-17, an impairment loss shall be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). That assessment shall be based on the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) at the date it is tested for recoverability. An impairment loss shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value. Pursuant to ASC 360-10-35-20 if an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of a long-lived asset shall be its new cost basis. For a depreciable long-lived asset, the new cost basis shall be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset. Restoration of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.
Pursuant to ASC 360-10-35-21, the Company’s long-lived asset (asset group) is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company considers the following to be some examples of such events or changes in circumstances that may trigger an impairment review: (a) significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset (asset group); (b) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset (asset group) is being used or in its physical condition; (c) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset (asset group), including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; (d) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset (asset group); (e) a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset (asset group); and (f) a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset (asset group) will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The Company tests its long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.
Based on its assessments, the Company recorded no impairment charges on long-lived assets for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”).” ASU 2023-09 requires entities to provide additional information in their tax rate reconciliation and additional disclosures about income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied prospectively, but entities have the option to apply it retrospectively for each period presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
16
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02 “Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concept Statements,” which amends the Codification to remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements and impacts a variety of Topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance, but in most instances the references removed are extraneous and are not required to understand or apply the guidance. Generally, the amendments in ASU 2024-02 are not intended to result in significant accounting changes for most entities. ASU 2024-02 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities may apply the guidance either retrospectively to the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or prospectively to all new or modified transactions recognized on or after the date of adoption. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis and the adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidation financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”. The amendment requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04 “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)”. The amendment requires companies to apply a preexisting contract approach. Under this approach, a settlement qualifies for induced conversion accounting if the inducement offer preserves the form of consideration and results in an amount of consideration that is no less than that issuable pursuant to the preexisting conversion privileges. The ASU is effective for all entities in annual and interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption permitted for entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to any settlements of convertible debt instruments that occur after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods that occurred after the adoption of the amendments in Update 2020-06. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue when control is transferred of the promised products or services to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. The Company derives revenue from software as a service, design and implementation services for its enterprise apps solutions systems, professional services for work performed in conjunction with its systems, and sale of hardware.

NOTE 5 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment on a reporting unit basis annually on November 30 (beginning with fiscal year 2024) and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of goodwill as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $8,737 thousand.
We first assess qualitative factors, such as macroeconomic conditions, changes in the business environment, and reporting unit-specific events, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than it carrying amount. If we bypass the qualitative assessment or conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we perform a quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. For the quantitative test, we calculate the estimated fair value using a weighting of the income and market approaches.
The Company completed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment as of March 31, 2025 and determined that no impairment was necessary for the three months ended March 31, 2025. No goodwill impairment was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024 based on the annual goodwill impairment evaluation as of November 30, 2024 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The net proceeds of the Note are $3,000 thousand.
Interest on the Note accrues at a rate of 10% per annum and is payable on the maturity date.

A monitoring fee of 10% of the outstanding balance will be charged starting six (6) months from the issuance of the Note to cover Lender’s accounting, legal and other costs incurred in monitoring. The foregoing fee shall automatically be added to the outstanding balance on the applicable date without any further action by either party.
The Lender shall have the right to redeem up to an aggregate of 1/6th of the initial principal balance of the Note plus any interest accrued thereunder each month by providing written notice delivered to us; provided, however, that if the Lender does not exercise any monthly redemption amount in its corresponding month then such monthly redemption amount shall be available for the Lender to redeem in any further month in addition to such future month’s monthly redemption amount.
Upon receipt of any monthly redemption notice, we shall pay the applicable monthly redemption amount in cash to the Lender within five (5) business days of the Company’s receipt of such monthly redemption notice.
The Note includes customary event of default provisions, subject to certain cure periods, and provides for a default interest rate of 22%.

NOTE 13 – Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $0 and $207 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 respectively.
The effective tax rate for three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was 0% and 3.85%, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate primarily due to recording a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the foreign jurisdictions and the significant permanent differences including change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities.
NOTE 14 – Credit Risk and Concentrations
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for credit losses and, consequently, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.
The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Cash is also maintained at foreign financial institutions for its Canadian and Philippines subsidiaries and its majority-owned India subsidiary. Cash in foreign financial institutions as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $170 thousand and $166 thousand respectively.
The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from cash for the three months ended March 31, 2025 or for the year ended December 31, 2024. However, any loss incurred or lack of access to such funds could have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
NOTE 15 – Segment Information
The Company has determined that it operates as a single operating segment. The Company offers a vertical software-as-a-service (or SaaS) platform for the enterprise. The flagship product, the CXAI Platform (pronounced “Sky”), provides a comprehensive suite of tools designed to empower employees and enable organizations to create smarter workplaces. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM allocates resources and makes operating decisions based on consolidated net income.
The CODM does not evaluate profitability below the level of the consolidated company. The Company uses net income (loss) as the primary measure of financial performance. However, in evaluating operating results on a budget versus actual basis, the Company focuses on cash-based operating expenses as a more cost of revenue, professional services, marketing, research and development, and other general and administrative expenses—to be significant. In contrast, the Company does not place significant emphasis on stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, loss on debt extinguishment, and other non-cash adjustments in its internal analysis of period-over-period operating results.

NOTE 17 – Leases
The Company has operating leases for administrative offices in Canada, the Philippines, and the United States. The Manila, Philippines office lease expires in May 2025, the Canada lease expires in May 2026, and the United States office lease expires in April 2026. The Company has no other operating or financing leases with terms greater than 12 months.
Lease expense for operating leases recorded on the balance sheet is based on the future minimum lease payments recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease plus any variable lease costs. Operating lease expenses, inclusive of short-term and variable lease expenses, recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the year ended March 31, 2024 was approximately $107 thousand, and $113 thousand, respectively.
Operating lease liabilities are based on the net present value of the remaining lease payments over the remaining lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the date of adoption of ASC 842 “Leases” (“ASC 842”). As of March 31, 2025, the weighted average remaining lease term is 0.8 years, and the weighted average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liabilities was 8.0%. As of December 31, 2024, the weighted average remaining lease term is 1.1 years, and the weighted average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liabilities was 8.0%.

NOTE 18 – Commitments and Contingencies
Risks and Uncertainties
Various social and political circumstances in the United States and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the United States and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics) may also contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. Specifically, the rising conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and resulting market volatility could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination. In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company and the value of the Company’s securities.
Management continues to evaluate the impact of these types of risks and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these risks and uncertainties could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
30
Litigation
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 19 – Subsequent Events
Draw from Avondale Pre-Paid Purchase.
On April 8, 2025, the Company received net cash proceeds of $3,990 thousand from the initial tranche of the Pre-Paid Purchase Agreement with Avondale, as per the SPA entered into on March 26, 2025. The initial tranche was structured with a principal amount of $4,200 thousand, less a $200 thousand OID and $10 thousand in transaction-related fees, resulting in the net cash proceeds mentioned above.

Revenues
The Company derives revenue from subscription software as a service (SaaS), design, deployment and implementation services for its enterprise apps business. Revenue was $1,224 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1,818 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in revenue of $594 thousand, for the comparative quarters ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was due to a decline in Professional Services revenue. Professional services are related to integration works and other services that may be requested by the customer and as such the decline in revenue is attributable to the professional services revenue because the Company has moved to a full SaaS model versus one-time professional fees.
Our subscription-based revenue represented 99% of the total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 87% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 which is a 12% increase in the revenue mix.
Gross Margin
Cost of revenues includes the direct costs to deliver the services including labor and overhead. Cost of revenues were $150 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $372 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The gross profit margin was 88% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 82% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease in cost of revenues of approximately $177 thousand, or approximately 54%, for the comparative periods ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, was attributable to the decrease in professional services revenue related costs.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist primarily of research and development costs, sales and marketing costs, and general and administrative costs. These operating expenses were $4,819 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $5,078 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in operating expenses of $259 thousand for the same comparative quarter was attributable to an increase in general and administrative expenses of $384 thousand and a decrease in other operating expenses of approximately $643 thousand.
Other Income/(Expense)
Other income/expense was a $2,129 thousand income, $1,790 thousand expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 respectively. This increase in other income was primarily attributable to changes in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $2,196 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Provision for Income Taxes
There was no income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $207 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is primarily a result of the release of valuation allowance attributable to acquired intangible assets from the Business Combination recorded in the first quarter of 2023.
Non-GAAP Financial information
EBITDA
The Company includes a non-GAAP measure that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other income, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management as the matrix in which it manages the business. It is defined as EBITDA plus adjustments for other income or expense items, non- recurring items and non-cash stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that we believe is useful to investors and analysts because it illustrates the underlying financial and business trends relating to our core, recurring results of operations and enhances comparability between periods.
35
Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP and is not intended to be a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry. Investors should exercise caution in comparing our non-GAAP measure to any similarly titled measure used by other companies.
This non-GAAP measure excludes certain items required by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to information reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The table below presents our adjusted EBITDA, reconciled to net income, which is the most comparable GAAP measure, for the periods indicated (in thousands).
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 |

Stock-based compensation - compensation and related benefits | 624 | 601 | ||||||
Adjusted EBITDA | $ | (2,410 | ) | $ | (2,281 | ) |
We rely on Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure for the following:
● | To compare our current operating results with corresponding periods and with the operating results of other companies in our industry; |
● | As a basis for allocating resources to various projects; |
● | As a measure to evaluate potential economic outcomes of acquisitions, operational alternatives and strategic decisions; and |
● | To evaluate internally the performance of our personnel. |
We have presented Adjusted EBITDA above because we believe it conveys useful information to investors regarding our operating results. We believe it provides an additional way for investors to view our operations, when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliation to net income (loss). By including this information, we can provide investors with a more complete understanding of our business. Specifically, we present Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental disclosure because of the following:
● | We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non- cash items including acquisition transaction and financing costs, impairment, unrealized gains, stock based compensation, interest income and expense, and income tax benefit. |
● | We believe that it is useful to provide to investors with a standard operating metric used by management to evaluate our operating performance; and |
● | We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to compare our results to other companies. |
36
Even though we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors, it does have limitations as an analytical tool. Thus, we strongly urge investors not to consider this metric in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) and the other condensed consolidated statement of operations data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include the fact that:
● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; |
● | Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income or other taxes or the cash requirements to make any tax payments; and |
● | Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, thereby potentially limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of performance in compliance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and providing Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information.
Financing Obligations and Requirements
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $979 thousand consists of net loss of $1,616 thousand and operating gain of $637 thousand. On March 26, 2025, the company entered into a SPA with Avondale, pursuant to which the company may issue and sell up to $20,000 thousand of Pre-Paid Purchase agreements (“Pre-Paid Purchases”) in tranches over time. The initial tranche included a $4,200 thousand Pre-Paid Purchase, structured with a $200 thousand original issue discount (“OID”) and $10 thousand in transaction-related fees, resulting in net proceeds of $3,990 thousand, received on April 8, 2025. The Company believes such funds are sufficient to satisfy its working capital needs, capital asset purchases, debt repayments and other liquidity requirements associated with its existing operations for the next 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements. The Company may continue to pursue strategic transactions and may raise additional capital as needed, using our equity securities and/or cash and debt financings in combinations appropriate for each acquisition.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
37
Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements that are included elsewhere in this filing. We believe that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no changes to estimates during the periods presented in the filing. Historically changes in management estimates have not been material.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue, in accordance with ASC 606, when control of the promised products or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. The Company derives revenue from its software as a service for cloud-based software, as well as design, implementation, other professional services for work performed in conjunction with its cloud-based software, and sale of hardware. The Company enters into contracts with its customers whereby it grants a non-exclusive cloud-based license for the use of its proprietary software and for professional services. The contracts may also provide for on-going services for a specified price, which may include maintenance services, designated support, and enhancements, upgrades and improvements to the software, depending on the contract. Licenses for cloud software provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. All software provides customers with the same functionality and differs mainly in the duration over which the customer benefits from the software.
License Subscription Revenue Recognition (Software As A Service)
The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition related to the licensing revenue stream is dependent on whether the software licensing agreement entered into represents a service. Software that relies on an entity’s IP and is delivered only through a hosting arrangement, where the customer cannot take possession of the software, is a service. Customers may purchase perpetual licenses or subscribe to licenses, which provide customers with the same functionality and differ mainly in the duration over which the customer benefits from the software.
The Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous access to its service. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 to 60 days from the receipt of a customer approved invoice.
Professional Services Revenue Recognition
Professional services under milestone contracts are accounted for using the percentage of completion method. As soon as the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized in the statement of operations in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Contract costs are expensed as incurred. Contract costs include all amounts that relate directly to the specific contract, are attributable to contract activity, and are specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract.
Hardware Revenue Recognition
For sales of hardware, the Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled when the products are shipped to the customer, transferring title and ownership risks. Deliveries occur via drop-shipment by a third-party vendor and the Company leverages drop-ship arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouse. The Company negotiates sale prices, pays suppliers directly, manages credit risk, and ensures product acceptability, acting as the principal in the transaction and recording revenue on a gross basis. Customers typically pay within 30 to 60 days of invoice receipt. The Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the costs of obtaining a contract when they are incurred because the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is less than a year.
38
Liquidity and Capital Resources as of March 31, 2025 Compared with March 31, 2024

Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which are included elsewhere in this filing.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We consider an accounting judgment, estimate or assumption to be critical when (1) the estimate or assumption is complex in nature or requires a high degree of judgment and (2) the use of different judgments, estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company believes there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the items disclosed as critical accounting estimates in management’s discussion and analysis in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 that was filed with the SEC on April 7, 2025.

JOBS Act Accounting Election
Following the transaction, CXApp will be an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. As such, the Company will be eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that apply to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the requirements to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved. The Company has not made a decision whether to take advantage of any or all of these exemptions. If the Company does take advantage of some or all of these exemptions, some investors may find the Company’s common stock less attractive. The result may be a less active trading market for the Company’s common stock and its stock price may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company may take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards, meaning that CXApp, as an emerging growth company, can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period, and therefore our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision not to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2025. The material weakness and remediation activities were discussed in Part II, Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of the Company’s 2024 Annual Report filed on April 7, 2025. The company is planning to file its Q1 2025 reporting by May 20, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
