This
prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information contained in the prospectus dated June 25, 2024 (the “Prospectus”),
which forms a part of our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-276334) with the information contained in our Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2024 (the “Quarterly Report”).
Accordingly, we have attached the Quarterly Report to this prospectus supplement.
Our common stock is currently
listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “AIRE.” On November 11, 2024, the closing
price of our common stock was $1.00.
This prospectus supplement
updates and supplements the information in the Prospectus and is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in
combination with, the Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto. This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction
with the Prospectus and if there is any inconsistency between the information in the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement, you should
rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.
We are a “controlled company” under
the Nasdaq listing rules because Giri Devanur, our chief executive officer and chairman, owns approximately 60.26% of our outstanding
common stock. As a controlled company, we are not required to comply with certain of Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements;
however, we will not take advantage of any of these exceptions.
INVESTING
IN OUR SECURITIES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISKS THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN THE “RISK FACTORS” SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 5 OF
THE PROSPECTUS.
Neither
the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined
if the Prospectus or this prospectus supplement is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The date
of this prospectus supplement is November 12, 2024.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business
reAlpha Tech Corp. and Subsidiaries (“we,”
“us,” “our,” or the “Company”) were initially incorporated with the name reAlpha Asset Management,
Inc. in the State of Delaware on April 22, 2021. Initially, our asset-heavy operational model centered on using proprietary artificial
intelligence (“AI”) tools for real estate acquisition, converting properties into short-term rentals, and offering fractional
interests to investors. However, due to current macroeconomic challenges like higher interest rates and inflated property prices, we’ve
suspended real estate acquisition operations. Our new focus is on enhancing our AI technologies to continuously improve our commission-free,
AI-powered end-to-end homebuying platform, driven by a growth strategy centered on strategic acquisitions.
The Company’s head office is located at
6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 100, Dublin, OH 43017.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly,
certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.
This summary of significant accounting policies
is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles,
generally accepted in the U.S., and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. The financial statements
include the operations, assets, and liabilities of the Company. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying
financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements included in the Company’s Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the eight-month period ended December 31, 2023
(the “Form 10-KT”). Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire
fiscal year or any other future periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make
the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Related Party Transactions
The Company accounts for related party transactions
in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 850 (“Related Party Disclosures”). A related party
is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the
Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company,
or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be
a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. The Company conducts business
with its related parties in the ordinary course of business.
Transactions involving related parties cannot
be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not
exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated
on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our significant
accounting policies from our Form 10-KT.
Equity Method Investment
The Company accounts for investments in entities
in which the Company has significant influence over the entity’s financial and operating policies, but does not control, using the
equity method of accounting. The equity method investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently increased for capital contributions
and allocations of net income, and decreased for capital distributions and allocations of net loss. Equity in net income (loss) from the
equity method investment is allocated based on the Company’s economic interest. Equity method investments are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If it is determined that a loss
in value of the equity method investment is other than temporary, an impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount
of an investment over its estimated fair value.
We recorded the Xmore AI investment of
$125,000 under the equity method as per ASC 323.
Revenue Recognition
The AI conversational platform, AiChat (as
defined below), adheres to the revenue recognition standards outlined in ASC 606. The license fee for platform access and consulting
services are recognized as distinct performance obligations, reflecting their ability to provide value independently within our
customer contracts. For the “right to access” license fee, revenue is recognized over the duration of the subscription
period, as control and benefits are provided continuously to the customer. Consulting services are recognized based on the nature of
the engagement. Revenue for one-time services, such as project setups, is recognized at the point in time of delivery. For ongoing
consulting services, revenue is recognized over time, reflecting the continuous benefit transferred to the customer throughout the
service period. This approach ensures that revenue recognition accurately matches the ongoing provision of access and the timing of
consulting services, as per the guidelines of ASC 606.
Be My Neighbor (as defined below), a mortgage
brokerage company, complies with ASC 606 by recognizing revenue at the point of loan closing. This moment marks the transfer of control
of the loan to the borrower, capturing the completion of Be My Neighbor’s primary service—successfully securing a loan. All
services, including loan origination, application processing, and credit assessment, contribute to this culminating event. Revenue is
therefore recognized only when the loan closes, ensuring that the exact revenue amount is determinable based on the loan amount and agreed
commission, accurately reflecting the completion of all related performance obligations.
Naamche (as defined below), which leverages proprietary
AI and other advanced technologies, adheres to ASC 606 for revenue recognition, primarily from its service-based contracts. This approach
involves detailed identification of contracts with customers, determination of distinct performance obligations within these contracts,
and accurate allocation of transaction prices to these obligations. Revenue is recognized as Naamche satisfies each performance obligation,
typically over time, reflecting the ongoing delivery and customer consumption of its tech-driven services.
Note 3 - Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is
computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on
the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options and warrants. and the shares that will be issued for the recent acquisitions. Due
to the net losses reported in the periods presented, the affect of dilutive potential common shares are anti-dilutive
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements
to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires expanded disclosures about reportable segments
including additional information on segment expenses, expanded interim period disclosures, and an explanation of how the chief operating
decision maker utilizes segment information in evaluating segment performance. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently assessing the impact that
the adoption of ASU 2023-07 will have on the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.
Reclassification Presentation
Certain amounts have been reclassified for consistency
with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Note 4 - Going Concern
We assess going concern uncertainty in our condensed
consolidated financial statements to determine if we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand and working capital, including
available loans or lines of credit, if any, to operate for a period of at least 12 months from the date our condensed consolidated financial
statements are issued. As part of this assessment,
based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to us, we consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, and estimates,
and we make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, and our ability to delay
or curtail those expenditures or programs, if necessary, among other factors.
Management
has reviewed our financial condition, focusing on liquidity sources and upcoming financial obligations. This assessment shows that
our short-term obligations exceed the resources available under current operational plans that raise a substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months after the date that the condensed consolidated financial
statements are issued. Additionally, while recent acquisitions are expected to increase operational expenses, we anticipate that
they will increase revenue streams, contributing positively to our financial outlook. We believe these acquisitions will enhance
product offerings and market reach, which we anticipate will drive higher revenue in the coming months. However, the revenue from
our recent acquisitions and from our technology platforms do not yet offset our current obligations and expenses. Management anticipates continuing
operating losses for the next 12 months due to growth initiatives, management expects to continue raising capital through additional debt
and/or equity financings to fund its operations. Management believes that these actions, which we expect to implement within the next
fiscal year, will effectively mitigate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern
and to ultimately achieve profitability. However, management cannot provide assurance that their plans to add revenue streams, raise
revenue or raise additional capital will be successful, and whether we will ultimately achieve profitability, become cash flow
positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. If we are unable to raise our revenues sufficiently to cover our
obligations and expenses or raise additional capital in the near future, management expects that we will need to curtail operations,
seek additional capital on less favorable terms, and/or pursue other remedial measures.
As of September 30, 2024, the
Company had approximately $7.0 million in cash.
Note 5 - Business Combinations
For comprehensive information regarding the acquisition
completed in the previous fiscal year, please refer to the Form 10-KT filed with the SEC for the transition period ended December 31,
2023.
Acquisition of Naamche Inc. and Naamche Inc.
Pvt Ltd.
On May 6, 2024, we completed our acquisitions
of Naamche, Inc. (“U.S. Naamche”) and Naamche, Inc. Pvt Ltd. (“Nepal Naamche,” and together with U.S. Naamche,
“Naamche”). As a result, we own 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Naamche, and both entities are
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. We acquired Naamche to assist the Company with the research and development of its proprietary
AI algorithms and other technologies.
The purchase price consisted of (i) a $50,000
cash payment, (ii) 225,000 restricted shares of common stock to be issued within 9 months from the closing date of the acquisitions subject
to terms and conditions specified herein, and (iii) $450,000 in cash, payable over a 3-year period following the closing date of the acquisitions
based on the achievement by Naamche of specified revenue-based targets.
Naamche is included in our consolidated financial
statements beginning on the date of acquisition and reported as part of our Technology Services (formerly “Platform Services”)
segment.
We estimated fair values on the acquisition date,
for the preliminary allocation of consideration to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection
with the Naamche acquisition subject to measurement period adjustments. During the measurement period, we obtained a purchase price allocation
report from a consulting firm to assist in finalizing the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Accordingly, the fair
value measurements and adjustments are noted below.
The table below represents the final purchase
price allocation to total assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the associated estimated useful lives as of the acquisition date.

The determination of the fair value for the acquired
business employed the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method. This method involves assessing
the present value of anticipated future cash flows from the acquired business. These cash flows are discounted at the weighted average
cost of capital (“WACC”), which represents the necessary return on the combined entity’s equity and debt. The WACC is
weighted by the respective proportions of equity and debt in the overall capital structure.
For the fair valuation of trademarks and
trade names, the relief from royalty method was applied. Customer and other relationships were valued through the
multi-period excess earnings model (“MPEEM”), which calculates the present value of excess earnings attributed to these
relationships over their estimated remaining useful life. Assembled workforce is not recognized separately from goodwill, as it
lacks separability and contractual nature.
Purchase Price Allocation
The acquisition was accounted for as a business
combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price allocation above was allocated to the tangible
and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Goodwill
was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the estimated future economic
benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized.
The final purchase price allocation includes $26,000 of
acquired identifiable intangible assets, all of which have finite lives. The intangible assets are being amortized
over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The determination of the useful lives is based upon various industry
studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors.
The purchase price allocation to identifiable intangible assets acquired
subject to amortization consists of the following:

Acquisition of AiChat Pte. Ltd.
On July 12, 2024, we entered into a Business Acquisition
and Financing Agreement (the “Business Acquisition Agreement”) with AiChat Pte. Ltd. (“AiChat”), AiChat10X Pte.
Ltd., and Kester Poh Kah Yong, pursuant to which we acquired 85% of AiChat’s ordinary shares, with the remaining 15% to be acquired
by June 30, 2025. AiChat is an AI-powered company offering conversational customer experience solutions.
The total purchase price to acquire 100% of AiChat
is $1,140,000, which consists of: (i) $312,000 in restricted common stock, issuable by January 1, 2025; (ii) $588,000 in restricted common
stock, issuable by April 1, 2025, subject to adjustments set forth in the Business Acquisition Agreement; and (iii) $240,000 in restricted
common stock, issuable by December 1, 2025.
We estimated fair values on the acquisition date,
for the preliminary allocation of consideration to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection
with the AiChat acquisition subject to measurement period adjustments. We obtained a purchase price allocation report from a consulting
firm to assist in finalizing the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Accordingly, the fair value measurements and adjustments
are noted below.

these relationships over their estimated remaining useful life. Assembled workforce is not recognized separately from goodwill, as

Purchase Price Allocation
The acquisition was accounted for as a business
combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price allocation above was allocated to the tangible
and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Goodwill
was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the estimated future economic
benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized.
The final purchase price allocation includes $1,135,000 of
acquired identifiable intangible assets, all of which have finite lives. The intangible assets are being amortized
over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The determination of the useful lives is based upon various industry studies,
historical acquisition experience, economic factors, and future forecasted cash flows of the Company following the acquisition of AiChat.
Additionally, as part of the acquisition of AiChat, we committed to
purchase 55,710 ordinary shares of AiChat at a cost of $60,000, payable at the transaction’s closing. Furthermore, we also agreed
to purchase an additional 222,841 ordinary shares of AiChat for $240,000. The specific dates for these payments are outlined in the Business
Acquisition Agreement.
The purchase price allocation to identifiable intangible assets acquired
subject to amortization consists of the following:

Acquisition of Debt Does Deals, LLC (d/b/a
Be My Neighbor)
On
September 8, 2024, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”) with Debt Does Deals, LLC (d/b/a
Be My Neighbor) (“Be My Neighbor” or “BMN”), a Texas-based mortgage brokerage, and its sellers, Christopher Bradley
Griffith and Isabel Williams (collectively, the “Sellers”). In accordance with the MIPA, we acquired 100% of the membership
interests of Be My Neighbor that were outstanding prior to the consummation of the acquisition.
The purchase price was $6,000,000, consisting
of: (i) $1,500,000 in cash to the Sellers based on their ownership percentages; (ii) $1,500,000 in restricted common stock, or 1,146,837
shares valued at $1.31 per share, to be issued within 90 days of closing, allocated proportionally to each of the Sellers’ membership
interests in Be My Neighbor; and (iii) up to $3,000,000 in potential earn-out payments, subject to BMN’s achievement of certain
financial metrics set forth in the MIPA.
We estimated fair values on the acquisition date,
for the preliminary allocation of consideration to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection
with the Be My Neighbor acquisition subject to measurement period adjustments. We obtained a purchase price allocation report from a consulting
firm to assist in finalizing the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Accordingly, the fair value measurements and adjustments
are noted below.
The table below represents the final purchase
price allocation to total assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the associated estimated useful lives as of the acquisition date.

The determination of the fair value for the acquired
business employed the income approach, specifically the DCF method. This method involves assessing the present value of anticipated future
cash flows from the acquired business. These cash flows are discounted at the WACC, which represents the necessary return on the combined
entity’s equity and debt. The WACC is weighted by the respective proportions of equity and debt in the overall capital structure.
For the fair valuation of trademarks and trade names the relief
from royalty method was applied. Assembled workforce is not recognized separately from goodwill, as it lacks separability and contractual
nature.

Acquisition of Hyperfast Title, LLC
On July 24, 2024, we acquired 85% of the membership
interests of Hyperfast Title LLC (“Hyperfast”), a Florida-based title insurance provider, through a membership interest purchase
agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $21,250. This transaction resulted in an increase in goodwill of $25,054.
Note 6 - Capitalized Software Development
Costs, Work In Progress
Qualifying internal-use software costs incurred during
the application development stage, which consist primarily of internal product development costs, outside services, and purchased software
license costs are capitalized.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company
reclassified a portion of capitalized software costs of $750,642 from work-in-progress (“WIP”) to intangible assets
following the release of the related product to the public, referred to as being placed “in service” under ASC 350. The
balance of work-in-progress capitalized software costs amounted to $359,720 as of September 30, 2024, compared to $839,085 as of
December 31, 2023.
The Company assesses the carrying amount of capitalized
software costs for impairment regularly and considers the recoverability of capitalized costs based on expected future benefits and cash
flows. Any impairment loss, if identified, is recognized in the statement of operations.
Note 7 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets are primarily the
result of business acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually, as of December
31, or more frequently when events occur and circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting
unit below its carrying amount.
At September 30, 2024, our consolidated balance sheet includes goodwill related to the acquisition of Roost Enterprises, Inc. (“Rhove”)
included in the rental business reporting unit of $17.3 million. As the activity of the reporting unit is on pause, we will conduct an
assessment of potential asset impairments as part of our annual review process during the fourth quarter of 2024. Although we believe
that the goodwill reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is not impaired, goodwill may subsequently become impaired due to changes
in facts and circumstances affecting the valuation of the reporting unit. A goodwill impairment charge could have a material effect on
periodic earnings.
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were

Note 8 - Notes Payable
On
August 14, 2024, we entered into a note purchase agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC (“Lender”) pursuant to which we
issued and sold a secured promissory note in the original principal amount of $5,455,000. The note carries an original issue discount
of $435,000, and we paid $20,000 to cover the Lender’s legal and transaction costs, reducing the purchase price received by us
to $5,000,000. Interest accrues at 8% annually, and the unpaid amount, interest, fees, and late fees are due 18 months after issuance.
The note and agreement include terms like the Lender’s ability to redeem a portion of the note, events of default, penalties, restrictive
covenants on our ability to issue certain securities, a “most favored nation” provision. Additionally, Rhove, Be My Neighbor,
and our U.S. subsidiaries signed security and intellectual property agreements in favor of the Lender, and our U.S. subsidiaries also
guaranteed all of the Company’s obligations under the note and other transaction documents.

Note 13 - Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
The

shares of common stock, having a par value of $0.001 per share; and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, having a par value of $0.001
per share. As of September 30, 2024, there were 45,570,967 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and as of December 31, 2023,
there were 44,122,091 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and there were 0 shares of preferred stock outstanding as of September
30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Stock Based Compensation
We
issued an aggregate of 100,904 shares of common stock during and as of the quarter ended September 30, 2024, pursuant to reAlpha Tech
Corp.’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) described below.
Equity Incentive Plan
We maintain the 2022 Plan, under which we may grant
awards to our employees, officers and directors and certain other service providers. The compensation committee of our board of directors
administers the 2022 Plan. The 2022 Plan permits grants of awards to eligible employees, consultants and other service providers. The
aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2022 Plan may not exceed 4,000,000 shares of common stock of which
3,697,961 remain available for issuance. All of our current employees, consultants and other service providers are eligible to be
granted awards under the 2022 Plan. Eligibility for awards under the 2022 Plan is determined by the board of directors at its discretion.
The 2022 Plan permits the discretionary award
of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-statutory stock options (“NQSOs”), stock awards (which may have varying
vesting schedules and be subject to lock-up periods at the board of directors’ discretion) and other equity awards to selected participants.
Unless sooner terminated, no ISO may be granted under the 2022 Plan on or after the 10th anniversary of the Effective Date (as defined
in the 2022 Plan).
The compensation committee has the sole discretion
in setting the vesting period and, if applicable, exercise schedule of an award, determining that an award may not vest for a specified
period after it is granted and accelerating the vesting period of an award. The plan administrator determines the exercise or purchase
price of each award, to the extent applicable. The 2022 Plan does not allow for the assignment, transfer or exercise of awards other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Unless otherwise provided by the participant’s
Option Award Agreement or Stock Award Agreement (as both terms are defined in the 2022 Plan) issued pursuant to the 2022 Plan, upon the
participant’s termination for any reason, including but not limited to death, Disability (as defined in the 2022 Plan), voluntary
termination nor involuntary termination with or without Cause (as defined in the 2022 Plan), all unvested equity awards in the form of
options or shares shall be forfeited. Vested options, unless otherwise provided, will remain exercisable for three (3) months following
termination of the participant if such termination is for any reason other than death, Disability or termination for Cause. In case the
participant’s separation from service is due to death or Disability, then the vested options will be exercisable for a period of
twelve (12) months thereafter. In case the participant’s termination is for Cause, the participant will immediately forfeit any
and all options issued to such participant under the 2022 Plan.
The 2022 Plan also provides the Company with a right of repurchase
all or portion of the shares awarded to the participant under the 2022 Plan, which may be exercised in case a participant separates from
service for any reason, at a price equal to the fair market value, as determined by the board of directors. In the event of a Change in
Control (as defined in the 2022 Plan), the board of directors will have the sole discretion to address the treatment of a participant’s
unvested awards in connection with such Change in Control in the participant’s award agreement.
The board of directors may modify, amend or terminate
the plan at any time, provided that no such modification, amendment or termination of the 2022 Plan materially affects the rights of a
participant under a previously granted award without that participant’s consent. Further, the board of directors cannot, without
the approval of the Company’s stockholders, amend this plan: (i) increase the number of common stock with respect to the ISOs that
may be granted under the 2022 Plan; (ii) make any changes in the class of employees eligible to receive the ISOs under the plan; (iii)
without stockholder approval if required by applicable law.
Warrants
We account for warrants as either equity-classified
or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants 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 our own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement”
in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires
the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of the warrant’s issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period
end date while the warrants are outstanding.
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 equity at the time of issuance.
For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded
as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and 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 statements of operations.
The Warrants issued in connection with the follow-on
offering and in connection with the GEM Agreement meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 480 and ASC 815, therefore, the
warrants are classified as equity.
On October 23, 2023, pursuant to the terms of
the GEM Agreement (as defined below), we issued GYBL (as defined below) warrants to purchase up to 1,700,884 shares of the Company’s
common stock (the “GEM Warrants”). The GEM Warrants are exercisable, for cash, at an original exercise price of $406.67 per
share, which exercise price was subsequently adjusted to $371.90 after the Company’s most recent public offering and the exercise
price of the GEM Warrants is subject to further adjustments specified therein. Due to an ongoing dispute with GYBL regarding the GEM Warrants,
there is uncertainty about the enforceability of the GEM Warrants and their classification under ASC 480 and ASC 815. If the dispute is
not resolved through negotiations and is adversely determined against us, we may be required to reassess the classification of the GEM
Warrants, which could lead to them being recorded as liabilities instead of equity. This reassessment could adversely impact our financial
statements and results of operations. See “Note 16 - Subsequent Events” for further information.
On November 24, 2023, we conducted a follow-on
offering by issuing 1,600,000 units priced at $5.00 per unit (the “follow-on offering”), each unit consisting
of one share of common stock and one and a half warrants to purchase common stock (the “Follow-On Warrants,” and together
with the GEM Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Follow-On Warrants permit holders to exercise them over a five-year period at
an exercise price of $5.00 per share, subject to “full ratchet” anti-dilution provisions included therein. The “full
ratchet” anti-dilution provisions provide that the Follow-On Warrants’ exercise price can be adjusted downward 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.
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. We believe that if the trading price for our common stock is less than $371.90 per share, in the case of
the GEM Warrants, and less than $5.00 per share, in the case of the Follow-On Warrants, it is unlikely that the holders of the
Warrants will exercise their warrants. While current conditions influencing the exercise of the Warrants make such exercise
unlikely, further adjustments to their exercise prices, or an adjustment to the number of shares issuable upon exercise thereof, as
applicable, may make the Warrants more attractive for investors to exercise. Additionally, as noted above, due to the ongoing
dispute with GYBL regarding the GEM Warrants, pursuant to which we are seeking to void the GEM Warrants, there is uncertainty about
the enforceability of the GEM Warrants and method of calculating its exercise price adjustment, which may impact the exercisability
thereof. See “Note 16 - Subsequent Events” for further information. Consequently, no adjustments have been made on
the exercise price of GEM Warrants based on the one-year anniversary adjustment of such warrants.
Our analysis is based on the trading price of our common stock as of November
11, 2024, which was $1.00 per share.
Rights
On March 24, 2023, in connection with the acquisition
of Rhove, we allocated rights to each seller and participating investors a right to purchase 1,263,000 additional shares of common stock
(the “Rollover Stock”) at a fixed price of $10 per share within a two-year period following the closing date of acquisition
of Rhove and shall thereafter terminate if not exercised within in such two-year period with no modifications to the exercise terms (the
“Rights”). These shares were issued without any restrictions.
For details on the factors used in the calculation
of the fair value of the Follow-On Warrants and Rights, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-KT.
As the warrants issued in connection with the follow-on offering and GEM Agreement are classified as equity instruments, they are not
subject to fair value remeasurement at the end of each reporting period.

Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies
Pursuant to the terms of that certain Share Purchase
Agreement between the Company and GEM Global Yield LLC SCS (“GEM Yield”) and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (“GYBL,”
and collectively, “GEM”), dated December 1, 2022 (the “GEM Agreement”), we are required to indemnify GEM for any
losses it incurs as a result of a breach by us or of our representations and warranties and covenants under the GEM Agreement or for any
misstatement or omission of a material fact in a registration statement registering those shares pursuant to the GEM Agreement. Also,
GEM is entitled to be reimbursed for legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing, or defending against
any such loss. To date, we have not raised any capital pursuant to the GEM Agreement and we may not raise any capital pursuant to the
GEM Agreement prior to its expiration. Restrictions pursuant to terms of our future financings may also affect our ability to raise capital
pursuant to the GEM Agreement.
The Company maintains indemnification agreements
with our directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify these individuals against liabilities that arise by reason of
their status or service as directors or officers, except as prohibited by law.
Contingent Consideration and Compensation
Acquisition Agreement – Naamche
The Company’s agreement with Naamche includes
deferred payment provisions representing potential milestone payments for Naamche’s former owners. The provisions are made up of
two general types of arrangements, contingent compensation and contingent consideration. The contingent compensation arrangement is contingent
on the former owner’s future employment with the Company and the related amounts are recognized over the required employment period.
The contingent consideration is not contingent on employment and was recorded as purchase consideration in other long-term liabilities
on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at the time of the initial acquisition based on the fair value of the estimated liability.
The amounts are paid over a three-year period, contingent on the achievement of certain revenue milestones.
Acquisition Agreement – Debt Does Deals,
LLC (dba “Be My Neighbor”)
The Company’s agreement with Be My Neighbor
includes deferred payment provisions representing potential milestone payments for its former owners. The provisions are made up of contingent
consideration. The contingent consideration is not contingent on employment and was recorded as purchase consideration in other long-term
liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at the time of the initial acquisition based on the fair value of the estimated
liability. The amounts are paid over a three-year period, contingent on the achievement of certain revenue and EBITDA milestones.
The Company primarily determines the contingent
consideration liability based on the forecasted probability of achieving the respective milestones. The contingent consideration liability
is measured at fair value each reporting period and changes in estimates of fair value are recognized in earnings.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s
contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Contingent consideration
was valued at September 30, 2024 using unobservable inputs, primarily internal revenue forecasts. Contingent consideration was valued
at the time of acquisitions and have included using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The development and determination of the unobservable
inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s management with the
assistance of a third-party valuation specialist.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s
contingent consideration liabilities current and non-current balances were as follows:

Legal Matters
India Proceeding Involving Giri Devanur
In 2006, Mr. Devanur became the CEO of an India-based
company named Gandhi City Research Park, Private Limited (“Gandhi City Research Park”). Gandhi City Research Park was liquidated
as a result of the Lehman Brothers collapse in 2009. In 2010, an investor in Gandhi City Research Park filed a fraud complaint with the
Cubbon Park Police Station in Bengaluru, India, against, among others, Mr. Devanur. In 2014, the Cubbon Park Police dismissed all claims.
Subsequently, in 2015 the investor appealed the Cubbon Park Police’s decision before the Lower Court. In November 2018, the Lower
Court issued a criminal summons against, among others, Mr. Devanur. Mr. Devanur petitioned the High Court to quash the summons. By order
dated March 27, 2023, the High Court granted Mr. Devanur’s petition and ordered the Lower Court to reconsider the investor’s
appeal. On August 3, 2023, the Lower Court decided to uphold the Cubbon Park Police’s decision and close the criminal case against
Mr. Devanur. On December 4, 2023, Mr. Devanur received a petition to challenge the Lower Court’s order to uphold the Cubbon Park
Police’s decision and close Mr. Devanur’s criminal case. Mr. Devanur is vigorously contesting this petition.
Malpractice Lawsuit
On May 8, 2023, the Company filed a malpractice lawsuit
with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, against Buchanan, Ingersoll & Rooney, PC
(“Buchanan”), Rajiv Khanna (“Khanna”) and Brian S. North (“North,” together with Buchanan and Khanna,
the “Buchanan Legal Counsel”). The complaint alleges that the Buchanan Legal Counsel failed to provide proper and timely legal
advice during the Company’s Tier 2 Regulation A offering, resulting in late Blue Sky notice filings with all required states prior
to the Company offering and selling securities in those states. As a result, the Company was subject to a number of inquiries, investigations,
and subpoenas by the various states, incurring significant legal fees and fines, lost opportunity due to pausing its Regulation A campaign,
in addition to the loss of a $20 million institutional investment. The Company is seeking the forfeit of all legal fees associated
with this matter, the award of legal fees to bring this matter to action, and further legal and equitable relief as the Court deems just
and proper. In response to the counterclaims filed by the Buchanan Legal Counsel on August 16, 2023, the Company has denied the allegations
made therein, asserting that they lack merit and are either insufficiently supported or entirely untrue. The Company contends that any
damages claimed by the defendants arise from their own negligence and failure to meet their contractual obligations. At this time, the
Company cannot predict the eventual scope, duration, or outcome of the lawsuit.
Note 15 - Segment Reporting
In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07. ASU
2023-07 requires expanded disclosures about reportable segments including additional information on segment expenses, expanded interim
period disclosures, and an explanation of how the chief operating decision maker utilizes segment information in evaluating segment performance.
We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-07 will have on the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.
Existing guidance, which is based on a management
approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide
disclosures about products and services, in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. We have two reportable segments
based on our business units: (i) Technology Services (formerly “Platform Services”) and (ii) Rental Business. Our chief operating
decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and the President, each of which reviews operating results to make decisions
about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company.

Note 16 - Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events as
of the date of this report and has none to report, except as identified below.
In connection with acquisition of Be My Neighbor
on September 8, 2024, the Company agreed to pay $1.5 million in cash as deferred consideration. A cash payment of $1.5 million was made
on October 1, 2024, as part of the deferred consideration arrangement. See “Note 11 – Deferred Consideration” for further
information.
On November 1, 2024, the Company filed a
lawsuit against GYBL in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Action”). In the
Action, the Company has asserted two causes of action against GYBL: (1) rescission of the GEM Warrants pursuant to Section 29(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), due to GYBL’s underlying violation of
Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act for effecting the GEM Warrants as an unregistered securities dealer, and (2) in the alternative, a
declaratory judgment that the exercise price adjustment calculation of the GEM Warrants is governed by the terms provided in the GEM
Warrants, rather than the terms in the GEM Agreement.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or this “report,” contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal
securities laws. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements
by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking
for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “hopes,” “expects,” “anticipates,”
“estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “should,”
“could,” “may,” “will” or other similar expressions in this report. In particular, these include statements
relating to future actions; prospective products, applications, customers and technologies; future performance or results of any products;
anticipated expenses; and future financial results. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
|
● |
We are employing a business model with a limited track record, which makes our business difficult to evaluate; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Our technology that is currently being developed may not yield expected results or be delivered on time; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Our ability to integrate any acquisitions successfully; |
|
● |
We intend to utilize a significant amount of indebtedness and raise capital through public offerings for the operation of our business; |
|
|
|
|
● |
The implementation of artificial intelligence (“AI”) into our technologies may prove to be more difficult than anticipated; |
|
|
|
|
● |
The real estate technology industry in which we participate are highly competitive, and we may be unable to compete successfully with our current or future competitors; |
|
● |
Our ability to retain our executive officers and other key personnel; |
|
● |
If we fail to attract or retain customers and users of our technologies, or if we fail to provide high-quality real estate industry solutions, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be materially adversely affected; |
|
● |
Our real estate investments are currently on hold, and there is no assurance we will resume our short-term rental operations. We may restart these operations depending on macroeconomics factors, such as high interest rates, and general factors such as real estate investment demand, capital availability, investment yields, regulatory changes, competitive landscape and others; and |
|
● |
The impact of laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, consumer protection, and other matters. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in claims, changes to our business practices, monetary penalties, or otherwise harm to our business. |

Business Overview
We
are a real estate technology company developing an end-to-end commission-free homebuying platform, which we have named reAlpha, previously
called “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. reAlpha 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.
reAlpha
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. reAlpha 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 and IOS application. reAlpha’s capabilities
are complemented and supported by reAlpha Realty, LLC, our in-house brokerage firm, on a no-obligation and commission free basis. Although
reAlpha 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.
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 is being directed towards the continuous enhancement and refinement of reAlpha
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 are 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. To advance such strategy, during the second and third quarters
of 2024 we announced the acquisitions of Naamche, Inc. and its Nepal counterpart entity Naamche, Inc. Pvt. Ltd. (collectively, “Naamche”),
AiChat Pte. Ltd (“AiChat”), Hyperfast Title LLC (“Hyperfast”) and Debt Does Deals, LLC (d/b/a Be My Neighbor)
(“Be My Neighbor”). These acquisitions have added revenue, additional potential sources of revenue, technology services, and
additional capabilities to the reAlpha platform. For instance, following the acquisition of Be My Neighbor, we now have an in-house mortgage
brokerage, which mortgage brokerage services are also directly offered through reAlpha. Be My Neighbor is licensed to operate in 27 U.S.
states. Additionally, because of our acquisition of Hyperfast, we now can offer title, closing, and settlement services in 3 U.S. states.
Following the integration of these companies into our business, consumers using reAlpha have access to these services directly in the
platform, both through the web platform and IOS application.
We expect to continue seeking additional strategic acquisitions that we believe will add additional sources of
potential revenue and services to homebuyers using reAlpha, including, but not limited to, home insurance, AI product companies, and real
estate brokerages. Additionally, we have already acquired a mortgage brokerage and a title company, but we may consider further acquisitions
in these verticals to add additional U.S. state licenses and potential revenue opportunities.
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. 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, reAlpha. 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, (ii) reAlpha BRAIN; (iii) reAlpha HUMINT, (iv) GENA, (v) reAlpha
App and (vi) AiChat’s conversational platform.
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.
Our
revenue model revolves around our mortgage services, title services and services offered by our subsidiaries, such as AiChat. As we begin
to acquire more companies in the homebuying transactions vertical, including, but not limited to, insurance and others that are complementary
to our business, we expect to generate revenues by offering such services. We also expect that our reAlpha platform will drive additional
customers to these acquired companies through users interacting and buying homes on reAlpha, which will expand their overall potential
customer base. 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 AiChat Pte. Ltd.
On July 12, 2024, we entered
into a Business Acquisition and Financing Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with AiChat (as defined above), a company
incorporated in the Republic of Singapore, AiChat10X Pte. Ltd., a Singaporean company (the “Seller”), and Kester Poh Kah Yong
(the “Founder”). Under 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 all of the ordinary shares of AiChat outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Acquisition Agreement, and pursuant
to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Acquisition Agreement, we agreed to pay the Seller an aggregate purchase price of $1,140,000,
consisting of: (i) $312,000 in restricted shares of our common stock, based on a 10% discount to the 10 day volume weighted average price
(the “VWAP Share Price”) of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and issuable to
the Seller no later than January 1, 2025 (the “First Tranche Shares”); (ii) $588,000 in restricted shares of our common stock,
based on a 10% discount to the VWAP Share Price, subject to any Base Case Adjustment (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement), issuable
to the Seller no later than April 1, 2025 (the “Second Tranche Shares”); and (iii) $240,000 in restricted shares of our common
stock, calculated at a 5% discount to the VWAP Share Price, issuable to the Seller no later than December 1, 2025 (the “Third Tranche
Shares,” and together with the First Tranche Shares and the Second Tranche Shares, the “Tranche Shares”). In addition,
we agreed to subscribe for and purchase from AiChat: (i) 55,710 ordinary shares of AiChat as of the Acquisition’s closing date,
for a subscription price of $60,000; and (ii) 222,841 ordinary shares of AiChat in accordance with a disbursement scheduled to be determined
and agreed to by us, 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 equated 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 “Sellers”). Under this agreement, we acquired 85% of the outstanding membership interests in Hyperfast (as defined above),
a Florida-based company specializing in real estate closings and title insurance (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 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 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 Sellers’ membership interests, and for the 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, Rhove, and subsequently Be My Neighbor, also entered into security agreements and intellectual security agreements
in favor of 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 receive 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.
Acquisition of
Debt Does Deals, LLC (d/b/a Be My Neighbor)
On September 8, 2024 (the
“Closing Date”), we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “BMN Acquisition Agreement”) with
Be My Neighbor (as defined above), a Texas limited liability company, along with Christopher Bradley Griffith and Isabel Williams (collectively,
the “BMN Sellers” and individually, a “BMN Seller”). Under this agreement, we acquired 100% of the outstanding
membership interests in Be My Neighbor, a mortgage brokerage firm (the “BMN Acquisition”).
In
exchange for all of the membership interests of Be My Neighbor outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the BMN Acquisition Agreement,
and pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the BMN Acquisition Agreement, we agreed to pay the BMN Sellers an aggregate
purchase price of up to $6,000,000, subject to the adjustments described below to each of the Earn-Out Payments (as defined below) provided
in the BMN Acquisition Agreement, consisting of: (i) $1,500,000 in cash paid on the Closing Date, with each BMN Seller receiving a cash
amount in proportion to each of their membership interest percentage in Be My Neighbor; (ii) $1,500,000 in restricted shares of our common
stock, or 1,146,837 shares of restricted common stock at a price of $1.31 per share, calculated based on the volume weighted average price
of the common stock as reported on Nasdaq for the seven consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the Closing
Date, to be issued within 90 days from the Closing Date and with each BMN Seller receiving an amount of shares of common stock in proportion
to each of their membership interest percentage in Be My Neighbor (the “Buyer Shares”); and (iii) up to an aggregate of $3,000,000
in potential earn-out payments, payable in three tranches of up to $500,000, $1,000,000 and $1,500,000, respectively, in cash or restricted
shares of common stock, at our sole discretion, each of which is calculated based on a formula set forth in the BMN Acquisition Agreement
and subject to the achievement of certain financial metrics by Be My Neighbor for three successive measurement periods of 12 months, with
the first measurement period ending 12 months after the Closing Date (collectively, the “Earn-Out Payments,” and each, an
“Earn-Out Payment”). Specifically, each Earn-Out Payment will be payable in full if Be My Neighbor achieves certain revenue
and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) thresholds for each of the measurement periods,
each of which is payable within 120 days of the end of a measurement period. If Be My Neighbor does not meet the revenue and EBITDA threshold
in a measurement period, a pro-rated amount of the Earn-Out Payment for such measurement period will be paid to Be My Neighbor based on
the actual revenue and EBITDA achieved and in accordance with the formula set forth in the BMN Acquisition Agreement. Further, if Be My
Neighbor exceeds such revenue and EBITDA thresholds during any measurement period, the Earn-Out Payment for such measurement period will
not be capped and will be increased accordingly based on the formula set forth in the BMN Acquisition Agreement.
The Buyer Shares and any Earn-Out
Payment shares (collectively, the “Shares”) will be restricted for 180 days from issuance, during which time the BMN Sellers
cannot sell, assign, or transfer them. To comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), the total Shares issued cannot exceed 19.99% of our
outstanding common stock immediately before the BMN Acquisition, or 8,880,383 shares (the “Cap Amount”). If the Shares exceed
this Cap Amount, we will compensate the BMN Sellers in cash for the excess, according to a formula in the BMN Acquisition Agreement.
Launch of reAlpha
AI Labs and Investment in Xmore AI
On
August 15, 2024, we announced the launch of reAlpha AI Labs (“AI Labs”), a research and development initiative to develop,
partner with and potentially invest in artificial intelligence (“AI”) startups. We believe that this initiative will provide
a platform for early-stage companies, enabling them to accelerate their development and growth. We expect that the products and technologies
developed from the partnership and collaboration with such early-stage companies will be used to enhance reAlpha, our generative-AI powered,
commission-free home buying platform. Additionally, we plan to partner with universities through AI Labs to further enhance its research
and development capabilities.
Subsequent
to its launch, on September 30, 2024, we announced that AI Labs invested in Xmore AI (“Xmore AI”), a company that provides
AI-driven cybersecurity solutions that is developing a software that will consolidate multiple cybersecurity tools into one platform.
The aggregate investment amount was $125,000, consisting of $100,000 in cash and $25,000 in the form of in-kind services, as determined
by the parties. We believe that this investment in Xmore AI will enhance the cybersecurity capabilities of reAlpha, as well as provide
Xmore AI additional funds to continue the development of its cybersecurity software, which will provide AI-driven cybersecurity solutions
to enterprises in multiple industries.
Recent Legal Challenges
to Sales Agents’ Commission Structure
Recent
developments in the real estate industry have seen increased scrutiny and legal challenges related to the structure of real estate agent
commissions. Legal actions and regulatory inquiries have been initiated to examine the fairness, transparency, and potential anticompetitive
practices associated with the traditional commission model. Courts and regulatory bodies may be increasingly focused on ensuring transparency
in commission structures, potentially leading to reforms that impact the earnings and business models of real estate professionals. Changes
in legislation or legal precedents could impact the standard practices of commission-sharing between listing agents and buyer’s
agents and may adversely affect our business model and revenues. On October 31, 2023, a federal jury in Missouri found that the National
Associations of Realtors (the “NAR”) and certain companies conspired to artificially inflate brokerage commissions, which
violates federal antitrust law. The judgment was appealed on October 31, 2023, while these and other plaintiffs have filed similar lawsuits
against a number of other large real estate brokerage companies.
On
or about March 15, 2024, NAR agreed to settle these lawsuits, by agreeing to pay $418 million over approximately four years, and changing
certain of its rules surrounding agent commissions. This settlement resolves claims against NAR and nearly every NAR member; all state,
territorial and local REALTOR® associations; all association-owned MLSs; and all brokerages with an NAR member as principal whose
residential transaction volume in 2022 was $2 billion or below and is subject to court approval. Due to this litigation, and effective
as of August 17, 2024, NAR has implemented a new rule that prohibits offers of compensation on MLS listings and requires written agreements
between buyers and buyer’s agents.
Early
indications suggest that these changes are already prompting shifts in industry practices as a result of the NAR lawsuit. For instance,
discussions are underway regarding potential changes to rules established by local or state real estate boards or multiple listing
services. These changes may necessitate adjustments in brokers’ business models, including alterations in agent and broker compensation
structures, as well as requiring buyers to sign separate agreements to compensate their agents. We believe that we are well-positioned
to take advantage of some of these potential industry changes. Given that reAlpha will serve as a zero-commission real estate buyer’s
agent, we believe that buyers that have access to the platform will choose our platform over seeking agents to conduct their property
search and acquisition to avoid paying additional buyer’s agents fees through these separate agreements. Additionally, we expect
that our competitors will need to develop mechanisms and plans to enable buyers to negotiate commissions, which may add another layer
of complexity into real estate transactions. We believe that reAlpha will remove such layer by offering all these services – including
negotiations of fees through our AI negotiation helper – in one platform, while providing buyers with zero-commission fees on all
homes purchased through the platform.
The
NAR litigation and its ramifications, however, remain uncertain and could cause unforeseen turmoil in our industry, the impacts of which
could have a negative effect on us as an industry participant.
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
September 30, 2024 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2023
Revenue.
Revenue was $339,227 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $280,205, or 475%, from the comparable 2023 period,
which was primarily driven by the growth and integration of recent acquisitions in our technology services segment. This technology service
segment growth was mainly due to the performance of our AI conversational platform and mortgage brokerage services, which were recently
acquired and integrated into our operations, and which generated $92,595 and $183,128, respectively, during the three months ended September
30, 2024. We have no revenue in our rental business segment. The decrease in revenue compared to the same period in 2023 was due to the
sale of properties previously held for the segment’s operations, as a result of putting those operations on hold.
Cost
of revenue. Cost of revenue was $113,361 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $83,001, or 273%, from the
comparable 2023 period. The increase was primarily due to the integration of the newly acquired businesses within the technology segment.
A significant portion of this increase is attributed to the costs associated with the delivery of our loan brokerage services and AI conversational
platform solutions that accounted for $60,145 and $34,967, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Operating
Expenses. Operating expenses were $1,915,486 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $1,157,985, or 153%,
from the comparable 2023 period. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the integration of the newly acquired businesses
within the technology segment. A significant portion of this increase is attributed to salaries of the new employees added as a result
of our recent acquisitions of $507,501, marketing, advertising expenses related to our advertising campaign for the reAlpha platform of
$212,386, and professional and legal services expenses of $210,670 incurred in connection with our recent acquisitions.
Other
(Expenses) Income. Other expenses were $408,954 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $360,186, or 739%,
from the comparable 2023 period. This increase was primarily attributable to the amortization of the commitment fee of $125,000 incurred
in connection with the equity facility we have in place with GEM Global Yield LLC SCS and GEM Yield Bahamas Limited (collectively, “GEM”),
pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement between us and GEM, dated December 1, 2022 (the “GEM Agreement”), interest expense
of $83,861, and original issue discount of $36,250 which was related to the Note (see “Recent Developments – Streeterville
Capital, LLC Note Purchase Agreement and Secured Promissory Note” above for further information).
Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2024 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Revenue.
Revenue was $422,006 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $196,706, or 87%, from the comparable 2023 period. This
growth was driven by the expansion and integration of recent acquisitions within our technology services segment, offset by a decline
in revenues from the myAlphie platform following its sale and from the rental business following the sale of properties. The technology
services segment’s growth was mainly driven by the contributions of our AI conversational platform and mortgage brokerage services,
which generated $92,595 and $183,128, respectively. There was no revenue recorded in our rental business segment during the nine months
ended September 30, 2024, which was due to the sale of properties previously held for the segment’s operations as a result of putting
those operations on hold.
Cost
of revenue. Cost of revenue was $139,687 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $9,831, or 7%, from the comparable
2023 period. A significant portion of the cost of revenue consists of the costs associated with the integration of newly acquired businesses
within the technology segment, including expenses for the loan brokerage services and AI conversational platform solutions, which amounted
to $60,145 and $34,967, respectively. This increase was partially offset by significant reductions in expenses related to the sale of
the myAlphie platform and properties, which lowered related costs.
Operating
expenses. Operating expenses were $4,406,394 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $2,049,359, or 87%, from
the comparable 2023 period. This increase was due to the integration of newly acquired businesses within the technology segment. A significant
portion of this increase is attributed to salary expenses, including $920,144 for new employees and additional expenses from the salary
adjustments for executive officers, marketing and advertising expenses of $273,458 for the reAlpha platform campaign, and $340,889 in
professional and legal services associated with these acquisitions.
Other
(Expense) Income. Other expenses were $871,856 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $6,165,045, or 707%, from
the comparable 2023 period. This decrease was largely due to a one-time gain of $5,502,774 from the sale of the myAlphie platform during
the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Additionally, increases in amortization of the commitment fee of $375,000 incurred in connection
with the equity facility we have in place with GEM, interest expenses of $95,473 and an original issue discount of $36,250 related to
the Note contributed to our other expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in mortgage interest following the sale
of our previously held properties.

Three Months Ended
September 30, 2024 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2023
Technology Services
Revenue. Revenue was
$339,227 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $291,753, or 615%, from the comparable 2023 period. This increase
was primarily driven by revenue generated through the AiChat’s conversational platform solutions, the reAlpha platform and our real
estate offerings, including mortgage brokerage and title services, as a result of the integration of our recently acquired businesses.
The integration of these services into reAlpha has provided additional sources of potential revenue to this segment.
Cost of revenue. Cost of
revenue was $113,361 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $83,001, or 273%, from the comparable 2023 period.
Cost of revenue primarily consists of the direct expenses associated with the delivery of our loan brokerage services and technology solutions.
This includes compensation-related expenses for roles directly supporting loan origination and customer interactions, along with other
direct costs necessary for fulfilling service transactions.
Operating Loss. Operating
loss was $546,488 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $515,437, or 1,660%, from the comparable 2023 period.
This increase was primarily due to higher salaries for employees from acquired companies and an increase in marketing and advertising
expenses associated with the marketing campaign for reAlpha platform.
Rental Business
Revenue.
Revenue was $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $11,548 for the comparable 2023 period. Because we sold our
properties as a result of putting our short-term rental operations on hold, we do not expect to generate revenue within this segment until,
and if, we resume operations in this segment.
Operating
Loss. Operating loss was $64,430 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $27,447 for the comparable 2023 period.
This increase in operating loss is primarily due to amortization expenses associated with acquired intangible within this segment. Although
we are no longer generating revenue in this segment as a result of putting these operations on hold, we are still incurring costs related
to the amortization and related expenses resulting from the sale of our previously held properties.
Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2024 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Technology Services
Revenue. Revenue was
$422,006 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $279,468, or 196%, from the comparable 2023 period. This increase
was driven by revenue from AiChat’s conversational platform solutions, reAlpha platform and real estate offerings, including mortgage
brokerage and title services, following the integration of our recently acquired businesses. This increase in revenue was slightly offset
by a decrease in revenue from the myAlphie platform following its sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Cost of revenue. Cost of
revenue was $139,687 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $2,214 or 2%, from the comparable 2023 period. Cost
of revenue primarily consists of the direct expenses associated with the delivery of our loan brokerage services and technology solutions,
including compensation-related expenses for roles supporting loan origination and customer interactions, and other direct costs necessary
for fulfilling service transactions. This increase was partially offset by significant reductions in expenses related to the sale of the
myAlphie platform, which lowered costs related to such platform.
Operating Loss. Operating
loss was $661,046, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $620,442, or 1,528%, from the comparable 2023 period.
This increase was primarily due to higher salaries for employees from acquired companies, an increase in marketing and advertising expenses
associated with the marketing campaign for reAlpha platform and professional fees related to our recent acquisitions, which reflect the
necessary investments to support and integrate these new operations.
Rental Business
Revenue.
Revenue was $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $82,762 for the comparable 2023 period. Because we sold our
properties as a result of putting our short-term rental operations on hold, we do not expect to generate revenue within this segment until,
and if, we resume operations in this segment.
Operating
Loss. Operating loss was $193,324 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $226,079 for the comparable 2023 period.
Although we are no longer generating revenue in this segment as a result of putting these operations on hold, we are still incurring costs
related to the amortization and related expenses resulting from the sale of our previously held properties. Additionally, expenses related
to property management and maintenance, which were present in the previous reporting period, also contributed to the overall decline.
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, 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. The cost of capital and historically high-interest rates can also 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. 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 $7.0 million as of September 30, 2024 and approximately $6.4 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 September 30, 2024.
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. Additionally, we are contemplating to raise capital through an
offering of our securities, and we expect that, to the extent such offering is consummated, we will not need additional capital for a
period beyond the 12-month period following the offering consummation.
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. We believe that
if 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, it is unlikely that the holders of the Warrants will 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. Due to an ongoing dispute with GYBL regarding the GEM Warrants, pursuant to which we have claimed that the
GEM Warrants are void and subject to rescission under Section 29(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), there is uncertainty about the enforceability of the GEM Warrants and its terms (see “Note 16 – Subsequent Events”
for further information). If the dispute is not resolved through negotiations and the lawsuit is adversely determined against us, we may
be required to adjust the GEM Warrants’ exercise price downward significantly, and we may incur penalties under the GEM Agreement
and/or other litigation expenses related to the dispute, which could materially adversely impact our financial statements, cash flows
and results of operations. See “Note 16 – Subsequent Events” for further information. 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 November 11, 2024, which was $1.00 per share.
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.
Contractual Commitments and Obligations
On August 14, 2024, we entered
into the Purchase Agreement with the Lender (each as defined above) to issue and sell a secured promissory note worth $5,455,000 (see
“Recent Developments – Streeterville Capital, LLC Note Purchase Agreement and Secured Promissory Note” for further information).
As of September 30, 2024, we have incurred $435,000 original issue discount expenses related to the Note. Further, in accordance with
the Note and related Purchase Agreement, beginning seven months after issuance, the Lender may redeem up to $545,000 of the Note per month,
which amount will be due and payable in cash within three trading days of our receipt of a redemption notice from the Lender.
The redemption feature of
the Note may require us to make redemption payments at the request of the Lender, which redemptions may have a material adverse effect
on our cash flows, results of operations and ability to pay our debts as they come due, and we may not have the required funds to pay
such redemptions, which could result in an event of default under the Note. The Note and related Purchase Agreement also contain restrictive
covenants on our ability to issue securities, which may further impact our ability to raise capital to meet our redemption payments or
other obligations and expenses as they are due.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes
our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the periods presented.
| |
Nine-month period | |
Particulars | |
September 30, 2024 | | |
September 30, 2023 | |
Net cash used in operating activities | |

$ | 400,330 | |
Net cash provided by financing activities | |
$ | 4,794,866 | | |
$ | 105,083 | |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the nine months
ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $3,806,090, compared to $2,825,315 for the same period in 2023. The
increase is primarily due to higher operating expenses, including salaries of $974,004 and professional and legal fees of $340,889, most
of which were acquisition-related costs.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the nine months
ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $368,269, whereas for the same period in 2023, net cash provided by
investing activities was $400,330. This change in cash flows from investing activities is mainly attributable to increased capitalization
of software development costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $4,794,866, compared to $105,083 for the same period in 2023. This increase
was primarily in connection with the issuance of the Note (as defined above). In contrast, during the nine months period ended September
30, 2023, proceeds from common stock issuances in connection with our Regulation A offering contributed to financing activities, which
issuances were not present in 2024.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
We do not have any off-balance sheet transactions.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required
to provide this information.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls
and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange
Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer
and principal accounting and financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation
under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and
our Interim Chief Financial Officer (principal accounting and financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024, the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon the evaluation
of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and
our Interim Chief Financial Officer (principal accounting and financial officer) concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes
in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and
Procedures
Our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Interim Chief Financial Officer (principal accounting and financial
officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or
detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations
in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns
can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by
collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving
its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements
due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material
changes to our risk factors since those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Form 10-KT, except as identified below.
Our lawsuit against GYBL
may be costly, time consuming and, if adversely determined against us, could result in a significant downward adjustment of the GEM Warrants’
exercise price, and potentially other penalties and expenses, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and
business operations.
On November 1, 2024, we filed
a lawsuit against GYBL (as defined above) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in which we are
claiming that GYBL operated as an unregistered broker dealer under the Exchange Act, and pursuant to which we are seeking to void the
GEM Warrants, or, in the alternative, a declaratory judgment determining that the GEM Warrants’ terms govern the exercise price
adjustment calculation thereof, rather than the related GEM Agreement’s terms. An adverse ruling against us in this lawsuit could
lead to a significant downward adjustment to the current exercise price of the GEM Warrants, additional expenses incurred related to
the lawsuit during the ongoing dispute, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees, and any other remedies the court may deem
just.
Further, this lawsuit may
be expensive, may divert management’s time away from our operations, and may affect the availability and premiums of our liability
insurance coverage, regardless of whether our claims are meritorious, or ultimately lead to a judgment against us. We cannot assure you
that we will be able to be successful in this lawsuit against GYBL or resolve any current or future litigation matters, in which case
those litigation matters, including the lawsuit against GYBL, could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
operating results and cash flows.
The obligations to the
Lender under the Note and related agreements are secured by a security interest in all of our non-foreign assets and all of the assets
of Rhove, our wholly-owned subsidiary, so if we default on those obligations, the Lender could proceed against any or all such assets.
Our obligations under the
Note and the related agreements are secured by all of our non-foreign assets and all of the assets of Rhove, our wholly-owned subsidiary,
pursuant to security agreements and intellectual security agreements executed by us and Rhove in connection with the issuance of the Note.
As such, the Lender may enforce its security interests over our non-foreign assets and the assets of Rhove that secure the repayment of
such obligations, take control of such assets and operations, force us to seek bankruptcy protection or force us to curtail or abandon
our current business plans and operations. If that were to happen, any investment in our securities could become worthless.
We are subject to certain
contractual limitations that could materially adversely affect our ability to consummate future financings.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
in connection with the issuance of the Note to the Lender, we agreed to be subject to certain restrictions on our ability to issue securities
until all of our obligations under the Note, Purchase Agreement and all other related agreements are paid and performed in full. Specifically,
we agreed, among other things, to (i) not make any Restricted Issuances (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) without the Lender’s
prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, unless the proceeds
therefrom are used to repay the Note in full; (ii) not grant any lien, security interest or encumbrance, subject to certain exceptions,
on any of our or our subsidiaries’ assets, in each case without the Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted
or withheld in the Lender’s sole discretion; and (iii) not enter into any agreement or otherwise agree to any covenant, condition,
or obligation that locks up, restricts in any way or otherwise prohibits us, other than such lock ups, restrictions or prohibitions with
a term of no more than 75 days in connection with one transaction, or series of transactions, per any 12 month period: (a) from entering
into a variable rate transaction with the Lender or any of the Lender’s affiliates, or (b) from issuing securities to the Lender
or any of the Lender’s affiliates. Such restrictions could materially adversely affect our ability to consummate future financings.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, if we breach or allegedly breach such restrictions, we will be obligated to indemnify the Lender
and all its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents for loss or damage arising as a result of or related to such breach
or alleged breach, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
While the Purchase Agreement
further provides that at any time during the 12-month period beginning on the date of the issuance and sale of the Note, the Lender will
have the right, but not the obligation, with our prior written consent, to reinvest up to an additional $5,000,000 in the aggregate in
the Company in one or more notes on the same terms and conditions as the Note, there can be no assurance that the Lender will exercise
such right or that we will be able to negotiate such reinvestment from the Lender on terms acceptable to us.
The Purchase Agreement also
contains a “most favored nation” provision pursuant to which, so long as the Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by us
of any debt security with any economic term or condition more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the
holder of such security that was not similarly provided to the Lender in the transaction documents related to the Note, we agreed to notify
the Lender of such additional or more favorable economic term and such term, at the Lender’s option, shall become a part of the
transaction documents related to the Note for the benefit of the Lender. Such “most favored nation” provision may also restrict
our ability to secure future financings unless the Lender waives its rights under such provision.
If we are unable to obtain
adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to pursue our business objectives
and to respond to business opportunities, challenges, or unforeseen circumstances could be significantly limited, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
If we fail to comply
with the restrictions and covenants in the Purchase Agreement or the Note, there could be an event of default under the Note, which could
result in an acceleration of payments due under the Note, the application of default interest and other consequences.
Failure to meet the restrictions,
obligations and limitations under the Purchase Agreement and the Note may result in an event of default in accordance with the terms of
the Note. Such events include, among others, our failure to pay any amount when due and payable thereunder, us becoming insolvent or declaring
bankruptcy, the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) except those that result in the Note being
paid in full, failure to observe and comply with certain covenants, obligations, conditions or agreements set forth therein, any representation,
warranty or other statement made therein or otherwise in connection with the issuance of this Note being false, incorrect, incomplete
or misleading in any material respect subject to certain cure periods, and effectuating a reverse stock split without a certain prior
written notice to the Lender, which events could result in the acceleration of obligations under the Note. Also, an event of default would,
among other things, provide the noteholder with the right to increase the outstanding balance by 10% for certain major events of default
and 5% for others, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Note. Additionally, at any time following an event of default, upon
written notice to us, interest will accrue on the outstanding balance of the Note beginning on the date the applicable event of default
occurred at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. Such consequences
upon an event of default could materially impair our financial condition and liquidity. In addition, if the Lender accelerates the Note,
we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets to satisfy our obligations under the Note.
The redemption feature
of the Note may require us to make redemption payments at the request of the Lender, which redemptions may have a material adverse effect
on our cash flows, results of operations and ability to pay our debts as they come due, and we may not have the required funds to pay
such redemptions, which could result in an event of default under the Note.
From time to time, beginning
seven months after issuance, the Lender may redeem up to $545,000 of the Note per month, which amount will be due and payable in cash
within three trading days of our receipt of a redemption notice from the Lender. Further, once we have made five redemption payments in
cash, all subsequent redemption payments paid in cash will be subject to a 9% redemption premium. Such redemptions may have a material
adverse effect on our cash flows, results of operations and ability to pay our other debts as they come due. In addition, we may not have
the required funds to pay such redemptions and our failure to pay the redemptions, when due, may result in an event of default under the
Note.
Failing to successfully
execute and integrate acquisitions could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We have acquired Rhove, Naamche,
AiChat, Hyperfast and Be My Neighbor, and may acquire more businesses and/or technologies, as we continue to evaluate potential acquisitions.
We may also not successfully evaluate or utilize acquired technology and accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition,
including accounting charges. In addition, we may finance acquisitions by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, which could result
in further dilution to our existing stockholders. We may enter into negotiations for acquisitions that are not ultimately consummated.
Those negotiations could result in diversion of management time and significant out-of-pocket costs. And, in the future, we may not be
able to find suitable acquisition candidates, and we may not be able to complete acquisitions on favorable terms or at all. Any of the
foregoing factors, including if we fail to evaluate and execute acquisitions successfully, can materially adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, we may not be
successful in integrating acquisitions or the businesses we acquire may not perform as well as we expect. Any future failure to manage
and successfully integrate acquired businesses could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the following:
|
● |
difficulties in integrating and managing the combined operations, technology platforms and realizing the anticipated economic, operational, and other benefits in a timely manner, which could result in substantial costs and delays, and failure to execute on the intended strategy and synergies; |
|
|
|
|
● |
failure of the acquired businesses to achieve anticipated revenue, earnings, or cash flow; |
|
|
|
|
● |
diversion of management’s attention or other resources from our existing business; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our inability to maintain the key customers, business relationships, suppliers, and brand potential of acquired businesses; |
|
|
|
|
● |
uncertainty of entry into businesses or geographies in which we have limited or no prior experience or in which competitors have stronger positions; |
|
|
|
|
● |
unanticipated costs associated with pursuing acquisitions or greater than expected costs in integrating the acquired businesses; |
|
● |
responsibility for the liabilities of acquired businesses, including those that were not disclosed to us or exceed our estimates, such as liabilities arising out of the failure to maintain effective data protection and privacy controls, and liabilities arising out of the failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including tax laws; |
|
|
|
|
● |
difficulties in or costs associated with assigning or transferring to us or our subsidiaries the acquired companies’ intellectual property or its licenses to third-party intellectual property; |
|
● |
inability to maintain our culture and values, ethical standards, controls, procedures, and policies; |
|
|
|
|
● |
challenges in integrating the workforce of acquired companies and the potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies; |
|
|
|
|
● |
challenges in integrating and auditing the financial statements of acquired companies that have not historically prepared financial statements in accordance with GAAP; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
potential accounting charges to the extent goodwill and intangible assets recorded in connection with an acquisition, such as trademarks, customer relationships, or intellectual property, are later determined to be impaired and written down in value. |
|
|
|
We may also expend significant
cash or incur substantial debt to finance such acquisitions, which indebtedness could result in restrictions on our business and significant
use of available cash to make payments of interest and principal. We may also incur significant transaction and acquisition-related costs
in connection with company acquisitions and such expenditures may create significant liquidity and cash flow risks for us. For instance,
we may incur significant, nonrecurring, and recurring costs associated with potential related company acquisition(s), including costs
associated with the continued integration of the businesses, unanticipated liabilities that we assume as a result of acquiring
companies and other expenses.
While we have assumed that
this level of expense will be incurred, there are factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount, including other integration
expenses. Moreover, many of the expenses that will be incurred are, by their nature, difficult to estimate accurately. To the extent any
acquisition and integration expenses are higher than anticipated and we do not have sufficient cash, or if we default on any assumed liabilities
as a result of an acquisition, then we may experience liquidity or cash flow issues that may materially adversely affect our financial
condition and results of operations.
The use of new and evolving
technologies, such as artificial intelligence, in our operations may require us to expend material resources for compliance and may present
risks and challenges that can impact our business including by posing security and other risks to our confidential information, proprietary
information and personal information, any of which may result in reputational harm and liability, or otherwise adversely affect our business.
Integrating AI into our operations
presents risks and challenges that could affect its adoption, and therefore our business. There are significant risks involved in utilizing
AI and no assurance can be provided that the usage of AI will enhance our business or assist our business in becoming more efficient or
profitable. The use of certain AI technology can give rise to intellectual property risks, including compromises to proprietary intellectual
property and intellectual property infringement and misappropriation. Other known risks of AI currently include inaccuracy, bias, toxicity,
data privacy and cybersecurity issues, and data provenance disputes. In addition, AI may have errors or inadequacies that are not easily
detectable. AI may also be subject to data herding and interconnectedness (i.e., multiple market participants utilizing the same data),
which may adversely impact our business. If the data used to train AI or the content, analyses, or recommendations that AI applications
assist in producing are or are alleged to be deficient, inaccurate, incomplete, overbroad or biased, our business, financial condition,
and results of operations may be adversely affected. Additionally, we expect to see increasing government and supranational regulation
and ethical concerns related to AI use which may also significantly increase the burden and cost of research, development and compliance
in this area. For example, the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act — the world’s first comprehensive AI law — entered
into force on August 1, 2024 and, with some exceptions, will become fully applicable 24 months thereafter. This legislation imposes significant
obligations on providers and deployers of high risk AI systems, and encourages providers and deployers of AI systems to account for certain
ethical principles in their design, development and use of these systems. The rapid evolution of AI will require the application of significant
resources to design, develop, test and maintain our technology and products to help ensure that AI is implemented in accordance with applicable
laws and regulations and in a socially responsible manner and to minimize any real or perceived unintended harmful impacts. The legal
landscape and subsequent legal protection for the use of AI remains uncertain, and development of the law in this area could impact our
ability to enforce our proprietary rights or protect against infringing uses. If we do not have sufficient rights to use the data on which
AI relies or to the outputs produced by AI applications, we may incur liability through the violation of certain laws, third-party privacy
or other rights or contracts to which we are a party. Our use of AI applications may also, in the future, result in cybersecurity incidents
that implicate the personal data of customers or patients. Any such cybersecurity incidents related to our use of AI applications could
adversely affect our reputation and results of operations.
Third-party vendors and our
subsidiaries may also incorporate AI tools into their own offerings, and the providers of these AI tools may not meet existing or rapidly
evolving regulatory or industry standards, including with respect to intellectual property, privacy and data security. Further, bad actors
around the world use increasingly sophisticated methods, including the use of AI, to engage in illegal activities involving the theft
and misuse of personal information, confidential information and intellectual property. Any of these effects could damage our reputation,
result in the loss of valuable property and information, cause us to breach applicable laws and regulations, and adversely impact our
business.
Aspects of our business
are subject to privacy, data use and data security regulations, which may impact the way we use data to target customers, and the increasing
regulatory focus on cybersecurity and privacy issues and expanding laws could affect our business model and expose us to increased liability.
Privacy
and security laws and regulations may limit the use and disclosure of certain information and require us to adopt certain cybersecurity
and data handling practices that may affect our ability to effectively market our manufacturing capabilities to current, past or prospective
customers. In many jurisdictions consumers must be notified in the event of a data security breach, and such notification requirements
continue to increase in scope and cost. The changing privacy laws in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere, including the General Data Protection
Regulation (“GDPR”) in the European Union (“EU”), which became effective May 25, 2018, and the California Consumer
Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). The GDPR and other European laws regarding privacy and data protection regulate the transfer
of personal data from Europe, including the European Economic Area (“EEA”) the UK, and Switzerland, to third countries that
have not been found to provide adequate protection to such personal data, including the United States, unless the parties to the transfer
have implemented specific safeguards to protect the transferred personal information. The safeguard on which we have primarily relied
for such transfers has been use of the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses (“SCCs”). We have undertaken
certain efforts to conform transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to the United States based on
our understanding of current regulatory obligations and the guidance of data protection authorities. In the “Schrems II” decision
issued by the Court of Justice of the EU (“CJEU”) on July 16, 2020, the CJEU invalidated one mechanism for cross-border personal
data transfer, the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, and imposed additional obligations on companies relying on the SCCs to transfer personal data.
Similarly, the CCPA was enacted on June 28, 2018 and became effective on January 1, 2020, and it creates new individual privacy rights
and impose increased obligations, including disclosure obligations, on companies handling personal data. In addition, the CCPA broadly
defines personal information, gives California residents expanded privacy rights and protections, and provides for civil penalties for
certain violations. Furthermore, in November 2020, California voters passed the California Privacy Rights and Enforcement Act of 2020
(“CPRA”), which amends and expands CCPA with additional data privacy compliance requirements and establishes a regulatory
agency dedicated to enforcing those requirements. Additional countries and states, including Nevada, Virginia, Colorado, Utah, and Connecticut,
have also passed comprehensive privacy laws with additional obligations and requirements on businesses. These laws and regulations are
increasing in severity, complexity and number, change frequently, and increasingly conflict among the various jurisdictions in which we
operate, which has resulted in greater compliance risk and cost for us. In addition, we are also subject to the possibility of security
breaches and other incidents, which themselves may result in a violation of these laws.
Additionally, we recently
acquired companies that provide mortgage brokerage services, title services and others. Our mortgage brokerage subsidiary is subject to
the privacy regulations of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the “GLBA”), along with its implementing regulations,
which restricts certain collection, transfer, processing, storage, use and disclosure of personal information, requires notice to individuals
of privacy practices, provides individuals with certain rights to prevent the use and disclosure of certain nonpublic or otherwise legally
protected information and imposes requirements for the safeguarding and proper destruction of personal information through the issuance
of data security standards or guidelines. In addition, on March 1, 2017, new cybersecurity rules took effect for financial institutions,
insurers and certain other companies, like our mortgage subsidiaries, supervised by the NY Department of Financial Services (the “NY
DFS Cybersecurity Regulation”). The NY DFS Cybersecurity Regulation imposes significant regulatory burdens intended to protect the
confidentiality, integrity and availability of information systems. We also have contractual obligations to protect confidential
and personally identifiable information we obtain from third parties. These obligations generally require them, in accordance
with applicable laws, to protect such information to the same extent that they protect their own such information.
The impact of these continuously
evolving laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on the way we use data to digitally market and pursue our customers,
as well as in our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a result of the acquisition
of Be My Neighbor, we are subject to additional laws and regulations that monitor the loan origination and servicing sectors, and rules
issued by the CFPB may increase our regulatory compliance burden and associated costs.
Our mortgage brokerage subsidiary
is subject to the regulatory, supervisory and examination authority of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”),
which has oversight of federal and state non-depository lending and servicing institutions, including residential mortgage originators
and loan servicers. The CFPB has rulemaking authority with respect to many of the federal consumer protection laws applicable to mortgage
lenders and servicers, including the Truth in Lending Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and the Fair Debt Collections Practices
Act. The CFPB has issued a number of regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act relating to loan origination and servicing activities,
including ability to repay and “qualified mortgage” standards and other origination standards and practices.
The CFPB’s examinations
have increased, and will likely continue to increase, our mortgage business’ administrative and compliance costs. They could also
greatly influence the availability and cost of residential mortgage credit and increase servicing costs and risks. These increased costs
of compliance, the effect of these rules on the lending industry and loan servicing, and any failure in our mortgage business’s
ability to comply with the new rules by their effective dates, could be detrimental to their business. The CFPB also issued guidelines
on sending examiners to banks and other institutions that service and/or originate mortgages to assess whether consumers’ interests are
protected. The CFPB also has broad enforcement powers, and can order, among other things, rescission or reformation of contracts, the
refund of moneys or the return of real property, restitution, disgorgement or compensation for unjust enrichment, the payment of damages
or other monetary relief, public notifications regarding violations, limits on activities or functions, remediation of practices, external
compliance monitoring and civil money penalties. The CFPB has been active in investigations and enforcement actions and, when necessary,
has issued civil money penalties to parties the CFPB determines has violated the laws and regulations it enforces.
Additionally, antidiscrimination
statutes, such as the Fair Housing Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”), prohibit creditors from discriminating
against loan applicants and borrowers based on certain characteristics, such as race, religion and national origin, among others. Various
federal regulatory agencies and departments, including the U.S. Department of Justice and the CFPB, take the position that these laws
apply not only to intentional discrimination, but also to neutral practices that have a disparate impact on a group that shares a characteristic
that a creditor may not consider in making credit decisions (i.e., creditor or servicing practices that have a disproportionate negative
effect on a protected class of individuals). These regulatory agencies, as well as consumer advocacy groups and plaintiffs’ attorneys,
are focusing greater attention on “disparate impact” claims. Regulatory agencies and private plaintiffs are expected to apply
the “disparate impact” theory to both the Fair Housing Act and ECOA in the context of mortgage lending and servicing,
among others. To the extent that the “disparate impact” theory continues to apply, it may significantly increase our administrative
burdens, compliance requirements and potential liability for failures to comply.
Our mortgage business’s
failure to comply with the federal consumer protection laws, rules and regulations to which they are subject, whether actual or alleged,
could expose them to enforcement actions or potential litigation liabilities. Moreover, if the CFPB or other regulatory authorities adopt
new rules governing the use of AI in mortgage underwriting or loan approval processes, we may face additional compliance obligations and
potential enforcement risks. Our inability to adapt to these regulatory changes in a timely and efficient manner could result in an adverse
effect to our business, financial condition and results of operations in our technology services segment.
We are subject to domestic and international
governmental export and import controls that may impair our ability to compete in international markets or subject us to liability if
we are not in compliance with applicable laws or if we do not secure or maintain the required export authorizations.
In many cases, our products
and services are or may in the future be subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations and subject to trade and economic sanctions
maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). We are also subject to export control and trade sanctions laws
and regulations in the EU, Singapore and other jurisdictions in which we and our subsidiaries may operate. As such, an export license
may be required to export or re-export our technology and services to certain countries or end-users, or for certain end-uses, especially
AI technologies, such as those involving sensitive customer data or proprietary algorithms. If we were to fail to comply with such U.S.
export controls laws and regulations, U.S. economic sanctions, or other similar laws or regulations in other jurisdictions, we could be
subject to both civil and criminal penalties, including substantial fines, possible incarceration for employees and managers for willful
violations, and the possible loss of our export or import privileges. Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements regarding the
export of our services, including new releases and/or the performance of services, may create delays in the introduction of our services
in non-U.S. markets, prevent our customers with non-U.S. operations from deploying these services throughout their global systems or,
in some cases, prevent the export of the services to some countries altogether.
Obtaining the necessary export
license for a particular sale or offering may not be possible, may be time-consuming, and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities.
In addition, compliance with the directives of the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (“DDTC”) may result in substantial
expenses and diversion of management attention. Any failure to adequately address the directives of DDTC could result in civil fines or
suspension or loss of our export privileges, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results
of operations and growth prospects. Further, U.S. export control laws and economic sanctions as well as similar laws and regulations in
other jurisdictions prohibit the export of offerings to certain U.S. embargoed or sanctioned countries, governments, and persons, as well
as for prohibited end-uses. We may in the future fail to secure or maintain at all times all required export authorizations, which could
have negative consequences on our business, including reputational harm, government investigations and civil and criminal penalties. Additionally,
monitoring and ensuring compliance with these complex export control laws, regulations and sanctions may be particularly challenging as
we expand internationally and our offerings are distributed in non-U.S. countries. Any failure by us, our subsidiaries or our partners
to comply with all relevant export laws and regulations could have negative consequences for us, including reputational harm, government
investigations and penalties.
Any change in domestic or
international export or import laws or regulations, economic sanctions, or related legislation, shift in the enforcement or scope of existing
export, import, or sanctions laws or regulations, or change in the countries, governments, persons, or technologies targeted by such export,
import, or sanctions laws or regulations, could result in decreased use of our platform by, or in our decreased ability to export or sell
access to our platform to, existing or potential end-customers with international operations. Any decreased use of our platform or limitation
on our ability to export to or sell access to our platform in international markets would adversely affect our business, financial condition,
and results of operations.
