In our opinion, these Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary by management to fairly state the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows
Our quarterly results are subject to seasonal and other fluctuations, including fluctuations resulting from the global COVID-19 pandemic and the operating results for any quarter are therefore not necessarily indicative of results that may be otherwise expected for the entire year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit of $19,453,377 and a retained deficit of $44,155,008. The Company began flight operations in August 2021. Without ongoing income generation or additional financing, the Company will be unable to fund general and administrative expenses and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. These material uncertainties raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is evaluating financing its future requirements through a combination of debt, equity and/or other facilities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing or obtain them on favorable terms. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption deemed to be inappropriate. These adjustments could be material.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2021-04—Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption was permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of this pronouncement had no impact on our accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The update requires the use of an “expected loss” model on certain types of financial instruments and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to calculate credit loss estimates. For trade receivables, loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, entities will be required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to recognize an allowance for credit losses rather than a reduction to the carrying value of the asset. ASU 2016-13 was initially effective for non- public companies for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which delayed the effective date for certain entities, such as the Company, to apply ASU 2016-13 until fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company evaluated the impact of ASU 2016-13 and determined the adoption of Topic 326 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s investments in affiliates accounted for using the equity method include a 50% interest in GlobalX Ground Team, LLC (“GlobalX Ground”) and approximately 13% ownership interest in Canada Jetlines Operations Ltd. (“Jetlines”) as of March 31, 2023.
Investment in GlobalX Ground Team, LLC:
On September 9, 2020, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with KD Holdings, LLC (“KD Holdings”) for the purpose of providing ground handling services. Under the terms of the agreement, KD Holdings will run the day-to-day operations of the ground handling division and supply the ground equipment and Global will provide assistance and guidance to the operations. The Company accounts for the joint venture in accordance with the equity method.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company elected to write down GlobalX’s investment in the joint venture to zero. Going forward GlobalX has elected to self-perform all ground handling activities at Miami International Airport. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $0 due to GlobalX Ground and $0 and $28,681 loss recorded during the three months period ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended on December 31, 2022, respectively, with respect to the equity investment in GlobalX Ground.
Investment in Canada Jetlines Operations Ltd.:
On June 28, 2021, the Company completed the spin-out pursuant to the Arrangement under which the Company transferred 75% of shares of Jetlines to Global shareholders. Global retained 25% of the shares issued and outstanding of Jetlines and accounts for the investment in accordance with the equity method. As of March 31, 2023, the Company holds approximately 13% ownership in Jetlines. Jetlines did not generate net income during the year ended on December 31, 2022 and the three months period ended on March 31, 2023 .
On January 27, 2023, the Company announced an up to $5.0 million loan (the "Loan") with a key investor to provide working capital and additional liquidity to support GlobalX’s rapidly growing operations. The net proceeds of the Loan will be used to further the business objectives of the Company and to secure additional aircraft for charter operations. As of March 31, 2023, the Company received $2.5 million from the loan.
The terms of the promissory note (the "Note") issued in connection with Loan include:
On March 17, 2022, the Company entered into agreements (each a “Subscription Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company sold $6.0 million of its securities (the “Financing”). The securities sold in the Financing consisted of (1) non-convertible debentures (each,
6
a “Debenture”) and (2) one common stock purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”) for every US$1.24 of principal of the Debentures purchased for gross proceeds of up to $6.0 million. Each Warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock (each, a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of US$1.24 per Warrant Share with an exercise period of 24 months from the date of closing.
The terms of the Debentures include:
The Company determined that the terms of the Warrants issued in the financing require the Warrants to be classified as equity. Accordingly, upon issuance, the Company recorded debt issuance costs of $2.2 million related to the Warrants along with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital. As the Warrants are classified as equity warrants the Company will not remeasure the Warrants each accounting period.
Since the Warrants may purchase a fixed number of shares for a fixed price, the Company chose to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the warrants at issuance. The inputs selected are: underlying stock price at date of issuance of $1.04 per share, exercise price of $1.24 per share, expected term of 2 years, dividends of $0, a risk free rate of -0.6%, and volatility of 143%.
The debt issuance costs resulting from the warrants along with other direct costs of the Financing will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method.
On July 12, 2021, the Company completed a share capital reorganization creating a new class of shares, Class B Non-Voting Common Stock. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had 37,334,659 and 32,668,320 common shares, 5,537,313 and 5,537,313 Class A Non-Voting Common Shares, and 13,426,379 and 15,234,849 Class B Non-Voting Shares outstanding, respectively.

The Company recognizes share-based payments expense for all stock options granted based on the grant date fair value with the expense recognized ratably over the service period. The fair value of stock options is determined by the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with assumptions for risk-free interest rates, dividend yields, volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company’s shares, forfeiture rate, and expected life of the options.
There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Restricted share units
The Company grants restricted share units (“RSUs”) to directors, officers, employees and consultants as compensation for services, pursuant to its Amended RSU Plan (the “RSU Plan”). One restricted share unit has the same value as a Voting Share. The number of RSUs awarded and underlying vesting conditions are determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion.
At the election of the Board of Directors, upon each vesting date, participants receive (a) the issuance of Voting Shares from treasury equal to the number of RSUs vesting, or (b) a cash payment equal to the number of vested RSUs multiplied by the fair market value of a Voting Share, calculated as the closing price of the Voting Shares on the NEO for the trading day immediately preceding such payment date; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b).
On the grant date of RSUs, the Company determines whether it has a present obligation to settle in cash. If the Company has a present obligation to settle in cash, the RSUs are accounted for as liabilities, with the fair value remeasured at the end of each reporting period and at the date of settlement, with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss for the period. The Company has a present obligation to settle in cash if the choice of settlement in shares has no commercial substance, or the Company has a past practice or a stated policy of settling in cash, or generally settles in cash whenever the counterpart asks for cash settlement.
If no such obligation exists, RSUs are accounted for as equity settled share-based payments and are valued using the share price on grant date. Upon settlement:

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized share-based payments expense with respect to stock options and RSUs of $500,630 and $382,612, respectively.
The remaining compensation that has not been recognized as of March 31, 2023 with regards to RSUs and the weighted average period they will be recognized are $3,286,018 and 2.12 years.
The Company’s expected effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 was 0%. The effective tax rate varies from the statutory rate due to the change in the valuation allowance.
The Company has contractual obligations and commitments primarily with regard to management and development services, lease arrangements and financing arrangements.
On February 24, 2023, the Company entered into a lease agreement for an aircraft and paid commitment fees to the lessor. The lease will commence upon aircraft delivery which is expected to be on July 2023 and will run through 74 months from delivery date. In addition to basic rent due, the Company will pay the lessor supplemental rent for maintenance of aircraft equipment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company entered into five finance lease agreements for equipment to support the Company's technical operations. Payments under these finance lease agreements are fixed for terms of 7 years.
The following table provides details of the Company's future minimum lease payments under finance lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023.

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the normal course of business and records legal costs as incurred. Management believes these proceedings will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company.
Basic earnings per share, which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The number of incremental shares from the assumed issuance of shares relating to share-based awards is calculated by applying the treasury stock method.
The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Business Overview
Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. (“GlobalX” or the “Company”) operates a US Part 121 domestic flag and supplemental airline using the Airbus A320 family of aircraft. GlobalX’s business model is to (1) provide services on an ACMI using wet lease contracts to airlines and non-airlines, and (2) on a Full Service ("Charter") basis whereby we provide passenger aircraft charter services to customers by charging an “all-in” fee that includes fuel, insurance, landing fees, navigation fees and most other operational fees and costs. GlobalX operates within the United States, Europe, Canada, Central and South America. GlobalX began operating the Airbus A321 freighter (“A321F”) during the first quarter of 2023 after completing all FAA certification requirements with the A321F.
Focused on becoming a market leader with differentiated, value-creating solutions
GlobalX intends to become the best-in-class U.S. narrow-body, ACMI charter airline, operating both passenger and cargo charter aircraft while recruiting and maintaining a dynamic team of customer-centric flight crews, ground and maintenance teams and management staff.
GlobalX operates its A320 family aircraft for airlines, tour operators, college and professional sports teams, incentive groups, resorts and casino groups and government agencies. It is our goal to deliver best in class on time performance and dispatch reliability; Expand existing relationships and develop additional relationships with leading charter/our operators to provide aircraft during their peak seasons; and provide ad-hoc and track charter programs for non-airline customers, including hotels, casinos, cruise ship companies, tour operators.
Launch cargo charter flights with A321P2F (Passenger to Freighter)
GlobalX added the A321F (passenger to freighter) aircraft to its operating certificate and into the fleet commencing Q1 2023, and expects cargo to be an integral part of the GlobalX business. GlobalX operates its A321Fs under ACMI charter operations with major package operators and major freight and logistics companies. Under these types of arrangements, customarily, these operators will take the commercial risk associated with the selling of the cargo and provide all ground handling and cargo-specific operations, with GlobalX assuming the operational risk of providing a functional aircraft, trained crew, in a safe and on time manner as the ACMI operator.
Location of Operations Bases
GlobalX will initially operate from one primary geographic base:
GlobalX also maintains two additional crew bases at the following locations:

To control costs and maintain a competitive cost per Block Hour flown, GlobalX:

Marketing Plan
GlobalX plans to achieve its revenue goals by flying charter operations for a variety of client groups:
GlobalX Aircraft Fleet
Critical to GlobalX’s business model is a fleet of modern and cost-effective aircraft. To achieve this objective, GlobalX has selected what it believes is the best overall single-aisle aircraft family to operate. This approach differs from traditional airlines, which purchase a variety of aircraft, often from different manufacturers, to achieve their operational flight sectors, resulting in increased training, operating and spare part costs. GlobalX conducted research to determine the best aircraft to fly in competition with other narrow-body charter airlines in the single-aisle seat market and GlobalX selected the A320 aircraft family.
The following factors support GlobalX’s choice to operate the Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft versus the Boeing family of aircraft:
Cost and Operating factors: lower fuel burn, and better aircraft and cockpit crew pool availability.
Operational Capability: the A320 has a range advantage over the 737-800 and can fly non-stop from Miami to selected airports in North America, South America, the Caribbean, and between most major destinations in Europe. The A320 has excellent maintenance dispatch reliability and strong availability of spare parts and components, making the A320, in management’s estimation, the most popular aircraft among low-cost airlines.
Passenger comfort: better seat width, cargo bin volume for carry-on baggage and cargo hold volume.
Aircraft Maintenance
Heavy maintenance checks are expected to be sourced out to FAA-approved service providers. The "6Y" and "12Y" checks will be primarily paid for using funds from the accrued maintenance reserves paid to lessors under operating leases.
Strategy to Address Competitive Response
We expect the existing charter operators based in the U.S. to respond to GlobalX’s entry into the market by lowering their pricing to customers. The expected competitive response typically includes lowered ACMI rates for key contracts. We believe GlobalX’s existing relationships with potential customers and the underserved demand in the U.S., coupled with our newer planes allowing for a more cost-efficient operation, will allow us to address any competitive pressure and grow as anticipated.
GlobalX Charter Service
GlobalX is a charter provider that currently focuses exclusively on providing customized, non-scheduled passenger air transport services with narrow-body Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft. We expect our primary line of business and focus to be commercial charter services from MIA to destinations throughout North and South America and the Caribbean, with established scheduled airlines that need additional air lift to supplement their own, and established tour and travel operators that sell tour packages in and between these markets.
14
We provide our services through two contract structures: (1) ACMI and (2) Charter.
We believe operating charter flights will largely insulate our expected profitability from fluctuations in jet fuel prices, which are typically the largest and most volatile expense for an air carrier. Under the vast majority of our commercial passenger charter arrangements, our customers bear 100% of the cost of jet fuel. In addition, consistent with industry practice, we plan for those customers to pay us our contract price approximately two weeks in advance of their flights.
Because our ACMI customers are responsible for fuel costs, our expected commercial ACMI revenues would not be affected directly by fuel price changes. However, a significant increase in fuel prices would likely have an adverse effect on demand for the use of our aircraft, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and financial position.
Experienced management team
Our management team has extensive operating and leadership experience in the airfreight, airline, and aircraft leasing, maintenance, and management industries at companies such as Republic Airways, Eastern Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Virgin America, Hawaiian Airlines, American Airlines, US Airways, Atlas Air, Breeze Airways, Emirates, North American Airlines, Miami Air, AAR, Continental Airlines, Pan Am, Atlantic Coast Airlines, and Flair Airlines, as well as the United States Army, and Air Force. In addition, our management team has a diversity of experience from other industries at companies such as KBR, Teladoc, The Home Depot, Halliburton, Lehman Brothers, and the Burger King Corporation.
Business Strategy
GlobalX seeks to become the best-in-class U.S. narrow-body, ACMI and full services contract charter airline, operating both passenger and cargo charter aircraft while recruiting and maintaining a dynamic team of customer-centric flight crews, ground teams and management staff.
In launching a US 121 Domestic Flag and Supplemental charter airline in the United States, GlobalX has done the following:
Launch passenger charter flights with A320/A321 all passenger aircraft
GlobalX operates its A320 family aircraft under ACMI/Full Contract charter operations for major airlines, tour operators, college and professional sports teams, incentive groups, major resorts and casino groups.

Operating revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $15.8 million or 96.3%, compared with the same period in 2022. A number of factors drove the increase including the increase in the operating fleet from six to eight passenger aircraft and the addition of one cargo aircraft during the first quarter of 2023, increased utilization of existing aircraft partially driven by the increased portion of Charter flying which included fuel and contracted ground services expenses. Charter block hours flown were up 116% and ACMI block hours flown were up 45% compared with the same period in 2022 contributing to a proportion of the percentage increase in revenue. These factors drove an increase in revenue per block hour of approximately 26% and on the basis of 88% in the volume of hours flown when compared to the same period in 2022.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $16.5 million, or 78.2% compared with the same period in 2022, as a direct result of the increase in the operating fleet from six to nine aircraft, resources to operate those aircraft and fuel and contracted ground services required to fly Charters.
The increase in salaries, wages, and benefits of $5.3 or 90.4% million is primarily due to the hiring and training of pilots and other airline personnel.
The increase in aircraft fuel of $4.7 million or 144.5% was mainly due to an increase of 76% in the volume of Charter block hours flown and an increase of 36% in the fuel average price.
16
Aircraft rent increased by $2.3 million or 68% due to the increase in the number of aircraft from six aircraft in Q1 2022 to nine aircraft in Q1 2023.
The increase in contracted ground and aviation services was primarily driven by the increase of 76% in Charter hours.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $419.8 thousand or 1,800% primarily driven by excess scrapping of rotable parts.

Non-operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $525.5 thousand, or 3,241% compared with the same period in 2022, primarily driven by interest expense on the debentures issued during March 2022 and the working capital loan of $2.5 million (up to $5 million) entered in January 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The most significant liquidity events for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:
Operating Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Net cash used by operating activities increased by $0.7 million to $1.8 million, which primarily reflected Net loss of $6.1 million, increase in accounts receivable of 1.3 million, increase in prepaid, deposits and other assets of $0.9 million, decrease in operating lease obligations of $1.8 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $359 thousand, and an increase in accrued liabilities and other liabilities of $4.8 million. The Net loss was also offset by noncash adjustments of $443.1 thousand for depreciation expense, $500.6 thousand for share-based payments, $1.8 million for amortization of right-of-use assets and $250.4 thousand for amortization of debt issuance costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used by operating activities was $912.0 thousand, which primarily reflected net loss of $4.8 million, an increase in Prepaid expenses and other assets of $839.7 thousand, and a decrease in operating lease obligations of $731.3 thousand. These were partially offset by noncash adjustments of $382.6 thousand for share-based payments, and $950.3 thousand for amortization of right-of-use assets, an increase in accrued liabilities of $729.2 thousand, and an increase in accounts payable of $3.1 million.
Investing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used for investing activities decreased by $700 thousand to $200 thousand related to purchases of property and equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Net cash used for investing activities was $890.9 thousand, consisting primarily of $617.8 thousand related to deferred costs and other assets and $273.0 thousand related to Purchases of property and equipment.
Financing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $2.0 million to $3.8 million, consisting primarily of $2.5 million of Note Payable, proceeds on issuance of shares of $1.2 million, partially offset by $111.4 thousand in Principal payments on finance leases. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Net cash provided by financing activities was $5.7 million, which primarily reflected $5.9 million related to Note Payable, partially offset by $197.6 thousand for payments to related parties.
We may access external sources of capital from time to time depending on our cash requirements, assessments of current and anticipated market conditions, and the after-tax cost of capital. Our access to capital markets can be adversely impacted by prevailing economic conditions and by financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Additionally, our borrowing costs are affected by market conditions and may be adversely impacted by a tightening in credit markets.
We do not expect to pay any significant U.S. federal income tax in 2023.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, referred to collectively herein as the Certifying Officers, are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Certifying Officers have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 240.13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2022. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 Legal Proceedings
Current Proceedings
On October 1, 2021, GEM has filed initial pleadings in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, claiming the Company breached the share subscription agreement between the parties by failing to pay a $500,000 fee due on May 4, 2021 GEM is requesting repayment in full of the CAD $2,000,000 promissory note issued by the Company to GEM plus accrued interest and costs and expenses related to collection. As of December 31, 2022, the note payable to GEM is recorded in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and the Company expensed the full outstanding amount capitalized as deferred financing costs of $2,809,031.
On January 18, 2023 the Court granted summary judgment in favor of GEM. GEM subsequently filed a motion seeking $2,000,000 CAD, plus interest totaling $218,493.87, with an additional $506.02 accruing each day after January 30, 2023 until entry of Judgment. GEM also seeks $112,584.50 in attorney's fees and $4,884.86 in costs. In 2022, interest and attorney's fees were recorded in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and other expenses non-operating on the consolidated statement of operation.
On March 29th, 2023 Global Crossing Airlines and GEM entered into a final settlement which included a payment plan for the $2,000,000 CAD over nine months plus the extention of the agreement for 12 months. Consequently, GlobalX has adjusted the current liabilities to reverse the previously accrued interest and attorney’s fees no longer due. Upon final payment GEM agrees to file a satisfaction of judgment in County of New York, effectively settling this issue.
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
