EXPLANATORY NOTE
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report.
Business Overview
Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. 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 Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance using wet lease contracts to airlines and non-airlines, and (2) on a Full Service 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 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.
Cargo charter flights with A321P2F (Passenger to Freighter)
GlobalX added A321F (passenger to freighter) aircraft to its operating certificate and into the fleet during Q1 2023, and cargo is 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 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:

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. Our primary line of business and focus is 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.
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
3
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 we expect that our ACMI customers would be 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 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 Flag and Supplemental charter airline in the United States, GlobalX has done, or plans to do, the following:
Operate 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.
Operate cargo charter flights with A321P2F (Passenger to Freighter)
GlobalX added A321F (passenger to freighter) aircraft to its operating certificate and into the fleet during Q1 2023. Cargo is an important revenue stream for airlines and it is an integral part of the GlobalX operation.
GlobalX intends to operate its A321Fs under ACMI/Wet Lease charter operations with major package operators and major freight and logistics companies. Under these arrangements, customarily, these operators will take the commercial risk associated with the selling of the cargo capacity 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.

Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and other financial information appearing and referred to elsewhere in this report.
Years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
Operating Revenue & Statistics
The analysis of GlobalX results, comparing 2021 and 2022, requires an understanding of how the Company fundamentally evolved during that time period. Prior to August of 2021, GlobalX was a pre-revenue airline attempting to secure the required government approvals (Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Authority) to commence commercial operations. These approvals were obtained in August of 2021; which marked the beginning of commercial operations. It cannot be understated how different the costs required to operate aircraft versus applying for approval to operate aircraft. The operation of aircraft involves the requirement to pay for fuel, ground services, maintenance, increased staff (in the form of head office and flight crews) and travel which is required to get crews where they need to be to operate flights. In 2021 we conducted commercial operations for five months and in 2022 we conducted commercial operations for twelve months. This factor alone is the single largest driver of increased revenue and operating expenses when comparing 2021 to 2022. This activity level is manifested in block hours, which is the measure by which we track all commercial activity. While other airlines discuss available seat miles and revenue per available seat mile (“rasm”), cost per available seat mile (“casm”), these metrics are not germane to our business model as an ACMI operator. We charter the entire aircraft, we do not take fuel risk, we do not take third party risk and as such review and evaluate all results on a block hour basis.

The $62.5 million increase in Charter revenue from $10.9 million in 2021 to $73.3 million in 2023 was largely driven by volume. In fact, 90.9% of the Charter revenue increase was volume related while only 9.1% was related to an increase in rates from $10,818 to $11,726 per block hour, an increase of $908 increase per block hour. The volume increase itself was attributable to the availability of aircraft. Although the Company had six deliveries in 2021, these aircraft were not operational for the full year. Three of the aircraft began operational flights in August, while one began in October. The remaining two were delivered in November and became operational in December. The delay between delivery and operational readiness is due to needed maintenance, seat configuration changes, certifications, and proving runs, and can vary widely between aircraft. Conversely in 2022, those same six aircraft were operational for the full year in addition to the two deliveries in June and December of 2022. Thus, the net available aircraft for the full year 2021 was only 1.2, while the net available aircraft in 2022 was 6.6 aircraft. In addition, the market was able to bare a small increase in rate as the industry continues to improve, following the current post-pandemic trend. The Company was also able to increase margin more in line with the market as our customers become confident of GlobalX’s ability and commitment to operational excellence and assets are utilized at higher levels. Furthermore, the effective rate will have increased as pass through costs such as fuel cost and landing fees increase with inflation or other market pressure.
The $11.2 million increase in ACMI revenue from $2.2 million in 2021 to $13.4 million in 2022 was driven by both rate and volume at an almost even split. 50.5% of the ACMI revenue increase was volume related while 49.5% was related to an increase in rates from $3,372 to $5,744 per block hour, an increase of $2,373 increase per block hour. The volume increase was achievable as GlobalX continued to add to capacity through aircraft delivery in 2022. In addition, the Company was able to achieve a significant rate increase due to a few factors. The Company launched operations in 2021 with one aircraft and had to be aggressive with pricing to initially secure work at lower rates per block hour. Throughout 2022, we were able to expand the number of customers being served expanding into NCAA college sports, music tours, corporate travel, and government contracts at higher rates.

Salaries, wages, and benefits grew to $30.6 million up from $9.8 million, a $20.8 million increase, or 213%, primarily due to the hiring and training of pilots and other airline personnel necessitated by the growing fleet and operations. The total employees grew 69.5% from 187 to 317 and pilots increased from 10 to 39, or 290%.
Aircraft fuel grew from $3.1 million to $23.0 million, a $19.9 million, or 633% increase, primarily due to an increase in block hours of 6,987 or 416% as a result of high number of aircraft available. Additionally, the average spot price of jet fuel was approximately 30% greater in 2022.
Maintenance, materials, and repairs increased by $3.5 million, from $0.8 million to $4.4 million, or 426%, primarily due to (1) the increase in average aircraft in operation during the periods from one to seven and (2) the block hours of operation, which increased from 1,679 to 8,666, or 416%. Maintenance of aircraft must be performed proactively. Block Hours of the aircraft and its parts are rigorously monitored, tracked, and used to determine scheduled service. As a result, there is a strong correlation between Block Hours and maintenance, materials, and repairs.
Depreciation and amortization increased $0.6 million, or 1,677%, from $.003 million to $0.6 million, driven by assets acquired to support our airport operations. These assets include, but are not limited to, fuel trucks, tractors, computers, software, and rotable inventory.
Contracted ground and aviation services increased by $12.3 million, or 368%, from $3.3 million to $15.6 million, primarily due to an increase in block hours. As operations (block hours) increased GlobalX required additional support from third party aviation partners at airports to provide check in, security screening, catering, baggage handling, fueling, and other services to clients.
Travel increased $4.0 million or 423%, from $1.0 million to $ 5.0 million, primarily due to the increase in Block Hours and a significant increase in the number of pilots in training who require hotel accommodations during the trips.
Insurance increased $1.9 million, or 109%, from $1.7 million to $3.6 million, primarily related to the increase in the number of aircraft.
Aircraft rent increased 276% $11.5 million, or 276%, from $4.1 million to $15.6 million, primarily due to the increase in the number of aircraft from one to seven average aircraft equivalent.
Operating loss improved by $6.0 million, from an operating loss of $17.2 million to $11.2 million. This improvement was driven by (1) the delivery of aircraft, (2) the improvement of market rates, and (3) the Company’s ability to capture that rate with a fully operational fleet. GlobalX’s revenue per aircraft increased by 23.4% to $14.7 million in 2022.

GlobalX’s revenue per aircraft increased by 23.4% to $14.7 million in 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The most significant liquidity events during 2022 were as follows:
Operating Activities. For 2022, Net Cash used in operating activities decreased from $10.8 million to $6.8 million, consisting primarily of $15.8 million of Net Loss, $1.9 million of increase in Accounts Receivable, $1.3 million of increase in Prepaid Expenses and other current assets, and $3.5 million of increase in Operating lease obligations. These were partially offset by noncash adjustments of $0.6 million for depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, operating lease right of use assets and debt issue costs, $1.4 million for Share-based payments, $9.3 million of Accounts payable and Accrued and other liabilities, and $0.2 million of Bad debt expense. For 2021, Net Cash used for operating activities was $10.8 million, consisting primarily of $20.0 million of Net Loss, non-cash adjustments of $2.7 million related to loss on warrant revaluation, $1.1 million of Amortization of operating lease right of use assets, $1.2 million of Share-based payments, and $8.0 million in Accounts payable and Accrued and other liabilities.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $1.9 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of approximately $3.3 million from December 31, 2021. Management believes the existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from expected increase of sales associated with the Company’s initiatives to raise additional funds will be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s liquidity needs for the next twelve months. Management’s still evaluating the existing options of raise additional funds, in the form of additional equity or debt.
The Company has significant fixed and noncancelable lease commitments of aircraft, equipment and related maintenance checks. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had total of $0.6 million and $9.2 million due in the next 12 months of future minimum lease payments under finance and operating leases, respectively, and approximately $1.8 million in current portion of notes payable included in the current liabilities presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had total of $2.7 million and $27.6 million due after 12 months from the balance sheet date of future minimum lease payments under finance and operating leases, respectively, and approximately $5.1 million in notes payable included in the non-current liabilities presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company finished 2022 with eight passenger aircraft and expects the aircraft fleet to increase to 12 passenger aircraft and 6 cargo aircraft by the end of 2023. In order to achieve the number of aircraft deliveries in 2023, the Company currently has eight aircraft under lease with partial or total deposits paid and four aircraft under binding agreements that are subject to execution of definitive lease documentation and fulfillment of certain closing conditions.
Investing Activities. For 2022, Net Cash used for investing activities increased from $652.7 thousand to $1.9 million, consisting of $1.9 million of Purchases of property and equipment. For 2021, Net cash used for investing activities was $652.7 thousand, consisting of $652.7 thousand of Purchases of property and equipment.
Financing Activities. For 2022, Net Cash provided by financing activities decreased from $18.9 million to $6.2 million, consisting primarily of $5.9 million of Note Payable, and $0.8 million in Proceeds from issuance of shares, partially offset by $0.5 million in Principal payments of finance leases. For 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $18.9 million, which primarily reflected $19.0 million in Proceeds from issuance of shares.
As disclosed in the subsequent events footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statement, on January 30, 2023, the Company secured a loan for up to $5.0 million with an investor to provide working capital and additional liquidity to support GlobalX’s operations. The net proceeds of the loan will be used to further the business objectives of the Company and to secure additional passenger and freighter aircraft for charter operations that were delivered during the first half of 2023.
The Company continuously seeks to identify external sources of capital from time to time depending on our cash requirements, assessment 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.
8
Additionally, the Company’s borrowing costs are affected by market conditions and may be adversely impacted by a tightening in credit markets.
The Company regularly assesses our anticipated working capital needs, debt and leverage levels, debt maturities, capital expenditure requirements and future investments or acquisitions to maximize shareholder return, efficiently finance our ongoing operations and maintain flexibility for future strategic transactions. The Company also regularly evaluates its liquidity and capital structure to ensure financial risks, adequate liquidity access and lower cost of capital are efficiently managed.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency and retained deficit as of December 31, 2022. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

GLOBAL CROSSING AIRLINES GROUP INC.
(FORMERLY “CANADA JETLINES LTD.”)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Global Crossing Airlines Inc. (the “Company” or “Global”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia and continued as a Federal corporation pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act effective February 28, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed a business acquisition pursuant to which it acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Global Crossing Airlines, Inc. (“Global USA”), a Delaware corporation. For financial reporting purposes, the Company is considered a continuation of Global USA, the legal subsidiary, except with regard to authorized and issued common stock which is that of the Company, the legal parent. On December 22, 2020, the Company changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the province of British Columbia, Canada to the State of Delaware. The U.S. Domestication was required for the Company to complete its charter licensing process and will also reflect the Company’s U.S.-business and operations. The Company’s principal business activity is providing passenger aircraft to customers through aircraft operating service agreements including, crew, maintenance, insurance (“ACMI”) and charter services “Charter” serving the US, Caribbean and Latin American markets. The Company’s shares trade on the NEO Exchange (the “Exchange” or “NEO”) under the symbol “JET” and the OTCQB under the symbol “JETMF.”
The 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had a working capital deficits of $
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the virus known as COVID-19. The airline industry has been impacted significantly as many local and regional governments have issued public health orders and travel restrictions in response to COVID-19. An extended disruption may affect the Company’s ability to generate revenue and obtain additional financing. The impact of these factors on the Company is not yet determinable; however, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in future periods may be materially affected.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its subsidiaries, Global Crossing Airlines, Inc. and Global Crossing Airlines Operations, LLC (collectively “Global USA”), GlobalX A320 Aircraft Acquisitions Corp. (“Acquisition A320”), GlobalX A321 Aircraft Acquisition Corp. (“Acquisition A321”), GlobalX Travel Technologies, Inc.

On May 19, 2021, the Company entered into an arrangement agreement (“the Arrangement”) to complete a spin-out of the shares of its wholly owned subsidiary, Canada Jetlines Operations Ltd. (“Jetlines”). On June 28, 2021, the Company completed the spin-out pursuant to the Arrangement under which the Company transferred
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Jetlines are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. The sum of the individual earnings per share amounts from continuing operations and discontinued operations may not equal the total company earnings per share amounts due to rounding. Prior years’ balance sheets have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the spin-off.
With the exception of Note 3, the notes to the consolidated financial statements reflect the continuing operations of Global. See Note 3 - Discontinued Operations below for additional information regarding discontinued operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions; at times, such balances may be in excess of insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on these balances.

Assets held for sale
Assets held for sale consist of the purchased airframe parts from used Airbus 320 bearing manufacturer's serial number 2090 as completed on sales agreement entered on March 2, 2022. Assets held for sale are valued at the lower of the carrying amount or the estimated market value less selling costs. They were recorded at average cost and are expensed when sold, used or consumed. An allowance for obsolescence on aircraft airframe parts is recorded when impaired to reduce the carrying costs to lower of cost or market. The Company monitors resale values for its assets held for sale on a recurrent basis using various qualitative and quantitative matters including analysis of current sales, estimates obtained from outside vendors, physical counts, internal discussions, among others. As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not identify items that were obsolete and recorded a $
Lessor Maintenance Deposits
GlobalX’s aircraft lease agreements provide that Global pay maintenance reserves monthly to aircraft lessors to be held as collateral in advance of major maintenance activities required to be performed by Global. Maintenance reserve payments are either fixed, or variable based on actual flight hours or cycles. These lease agreements provide that maintenance reserves are reimbursable to Global upon completion of the maintenance event in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the amount of the maintenance reserve held by the lessor associated with the specific maintenance event or (2) the qualifying costs related to the specific maintenance event.
Maintenance reserve payments that are expected to be recoverable via reimbursable expenses will be reflected as Lessor Maintenance Deposits on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, Lessor Maintenance Deposits totaled $
Heavy Maintenance
The Company accounts for heavy maintenance costs for airframes and engines using the deferral method. Under this method, expense recognition of scheduled heavy maintenance events is deferred and amortized over the estimated period until the next scheduled heavy maintenance event is required. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred in amortization expense of $

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Modifications that enhance the operating performance or extend the useful lives of leased airframes are considered leasehold improvements and are capitalized and depreciated over the economic life of the asset or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter.
Equity Investments
Investments in partnerships and less-than-majority owned subsidiaries in which the Company does not have control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The equity method investments are included in the accompanying Balance Sheets with Deferred Costs and Other Assets. The Company’s share of earnings or losses from these investments is shown in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations in Other Expense. Equity method investments are initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the equity investment is adjusted at each reporting period by the percentage of any change in its equity corresponding to the Company’s percentage interest in these equity affiliates. The carrying costs of these investments are also increased or decreased to reflect additional contributions or withdrawals of capital. Any difference in the book equity and the Company’s pro-rata share of the net assets of the investment will be reported as gain or loss at the time of the liquidation of the investment. It is the Company’s policy to record losses in excess of the investment if the Company is committed to provide financial support to the investee.
Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed. Such indicators include significant technological changes, adverse changes in market conditions and/or poor operating results. The carrying value of a long-lived asset group is considered impaired when the projected undiscounted future cash flows are less than its carrying value. The amount of impairment loss recognized is the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the asset or asset group. Fair value is determined using various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third- party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument.
The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
Estimating fair value for granted stock options and compensatory warrants requires determining the most appropriate valuation model which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the option or warrant, volatility, dividend yield, and rate of forfeitures and making assumptions about them.
Estimating fair value for granted restricted share units requires estimating the number of awards likely to vest on grant and at each reporting date up to the vesting date. The estimated forfeiture rate is adjusted for actual forfeitures in the period.
Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Stock-based compensation expenses are included in the consolidated statement of operations.
Income taxes
The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred income tax assets and liabilities will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and liabilities is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. To the extent that
18
GLOBAL CROSSING AIRLINES GROUP INC.
(FORMERLY “CANADA JETLINES LTD.”)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021
management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets or liabilities, and deferred income tax provisions or recoveries could be affected.
Leases
Lease classification is evaluated by the Company at lease commencement and when significant amendments are executed. The Company's leases generally do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate; therefore, the Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The lease term consists of the noncancellable period of the lease and periods covered by options to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option. For leases of 12 months or less, the Company expenses lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating Lease Right-of-Use Asset and Liabilities
For all operating leases with a term greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of future minimum lease payments, which includes certain lease and non-lease components, over the lease term. Operating Lease Right-of-use Assets and Operating Lease Obligations have their own lines on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Finance Leases
Finance leases are initially recorded at the net present value of future minimum lease payments, which includes certain lease and non-lease components. Finance leases generally have one of these five attributes: 1) ownership of the underlying asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term, 2) the lease agreement contains a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, 3) the lease term represents the major part of the asset’s economic life, 4) the present value of lease payments over the lease term equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset, and 5) the underlying asset is so specialized in nature that it provides no alternative use to the lessor after the lease term. Finance Lease Assets are presented on separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company depreciates Finance Lease Assets consistent with its useful life policy presented in the table below.
Leased Aircraft Return Costs
The Company's aircraft lease agreements often contain provisions that require the Company to return aircraft airframes, engines, and other aircraft components to the lessor in a certain condition or pay an amount to the lessor based on the airframe and engine's actual return condition. Lease return costs are recognized beginning when it is probable that such costs will be incurred, and they can be estimated. The Company assesses the need to accrue lease return costs periodically throughout the year or whenever facts and circumstances warrant an assessment. When costs become both probable and estimable, lease return costs are expensed as a component of Aircraft Rent expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In addition, the Company leases office space under a month-to-month agreement. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, including renewal options when appropriate, we record the related right-of-use asset and lease liability as the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term.
Customer Deposits
Customer Deposits represent money we receive from our customers as a security deposit for their contract. The money will either be returned to the customer at the end of the contract or used for payment of any unpaid invoices/debts the customer has during the contract term.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred Revenue represents revenue prepayments. Customers pay in advance of their flights and the funds are held as Deferred Revenue until the flight takes place. Charter customers typically pay a

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates operating revenues by providing passenger aircraft outsourcing services to customers on a Charter and ACMI basis, in exchange for guaranteed minimum revenues at predetermined levels of operation for defined periods of time.
Our performance obligations under Charter contracts involve the provision of passenger aircraft charter services to customers, including various US Government agencies, brokers, freight forwarders, direct shippers, airlines, college sports teams and fans, and private charter customers. Our obligations are for one or more flights based on a specific origin and destination. The Company typically bears all direct operating costs for charters, which include fuel, insurance, landing and navigation fees, and most other operational fees and costs.
The time interval between when an aircraft departs the terminal until it arrives at the destination terminal is measured in hours and called “Block Hours.” Revenue from Charter contracts is typically recognized over time as the services are performed based on Block Hours operated on behalf of a customer. Payment terms and conditions vary by charter contract, although the vast majority of contracts require payment in advance of the services being provided. Since advance payments are typically made shortly before the services are performed, such payments are not considered significant financing components.
Our performance obligations under ACMI contracts involve outsourced passenger aircraft operating services, including the provision of an aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance. ACMI contracts generally provide for the transfer of the benefits from these performance obligations on a combined basis through the operation of the aircraft over time. Customers assume fuel, demand and price risk. Generally, customers are also responsible for landing, navigation and most other operational fees and costs. When we act as an agent for costs reimbursed by customers, such reimbursed amounts are recorded as Operating Revenue, net of the related costs, when the costs are incurred. When we are responsible for any of these costs, such reimbursed amounts are recorded as Operating Revenue and the costs are recorded as Operating Expenses as incurred.
Revenue from ACMI contracts is typically recognized over time as the services are performed based on Block Hours operated on behalf of a customer during a given month.
The Company commenced flight operations during August 2021 upon receipt of the final DOT and FAA approvals.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 Improvements to Non-employee Share-based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to share-based payments granted to non- employees for goods and services. Additionally, in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-08, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires entities to measure and classify share based payments to a customer, in accordance with the guidance in ASC 718. The new guidance did not impact how we account for Share based payments.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The update eliminates, clarifies, and modifies certain guidance related to the accounting for income taxes. The amended guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
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.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has net operating losses available for deduction against future taxable income of $
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of the liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. It was concluded on a more-likely-than-not basis that the Company’s deferred tax assets were not realizable as of December 31, 2022. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $
The Company recognizes the consolidated financial statement effect of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. If applicable, the Company reports both accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of Income Tax Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States the State of Florida, California, Indiana, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to potential income tax examination by the federal and state tax authorities in these jurisdictions for tax years that are open under local statute. For U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, the Company’s tax returns remain open to examination.

Accounting standards define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standards also establish a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Under GAAP, there are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company's assets and liabilities carrying values approximate to their fair values.
On July 10, 2020, the Company issued
As described above and in Note 9, the Company’s warrant liability was re-measured to fair value on June 28, 2021 and reclassified to additional paid-in capital. As such, the Company had no warrant liabilities as of December 31, 2021.
The fair value of the warrant liabilities was measured using the Monte Carlo pricing model. Significant inputs into the model as of June 28, 2021 are as follows:

The Company recognizes share-based payments expense for all stock options granted using the fair value based method of accounting. 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
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:

Basic earnings per share, which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing Net Income available 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 Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks as detailed below.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Company is subject to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. As a result, the Company does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls
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 not effective due to the identification of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, 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.
Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. Management based its assessment on criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 and has concluded that such internal control over financial reporting was not effective, based on the material weakness described below.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management identified a material weakness as of December 31, 2022, related to the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls associated with the required disclosures within the financial statements and disclosure of material changes in financial conditions and results of operations for the following reason.
1. Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
Management Remediation Plans
In order to mitigate the foregoing material weakness, the Company plans to take steps to develop and enhance its internal controls over financial reporting in 2023, including:
1. Developing formal policies and procedures over accounting and reporting disclosure requirements.
2. Provide additional training on application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
3. Obtain checklists to ensure all application disclosures required under US GAAP and SEC requirements are included in each filing.

As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine that additional measures to address control deficiencies or modifications to the remediation plan are necessary. Therefore, we cannot assure you when the Company will remediate the material weakness identified above, nor can we be certain that additional actions will not be required and what the costs of any such additional actions may be. Moreover, we cannot assure you that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future.
Notwithstanding the material weakness identified in our internal control over financial reporting, we believe that the consolidated financial statements in this annual report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated financial condition as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
