PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Vocodia Holdings Corp (“VHC”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on April 27, 2021 and is a conversational AI technology provider. Our technology is designed to drive better sales and services for its customers. Clients turn to us for their product and service needs.

 

We are an AI software company that build practical AI functions and makes them easily obtainable for businesses on cloud-based platform solutions at low costs and scalable to multiagent vast enterprise solutions.

 

Our operations include three wholly owned subsidiaries: (1) Vocodia FL, LLC, which was incorporated in the State of Florida on June 2, 2021 and manages all of VHC’s human resources and payroll functions, (2) Vocodia JV, LLC, which was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 7, 2021 and was formed with the intention to conduct any and all joint ventures or acquisitions for VHC, which do not exist as of the date of this report, and (3) CFM, which was incorporated in the State of Florida on November 26, 2019 and is an IT services provider. CFM was formerly owned by James Sposato, who is an officer and director of the Company. CFM was wholly acquired by the Company from Mr. Sposato per the Contribution Agreement dated August 1, 2022. CFM was formerly owned by James Sposato, who is an officer and director of the Company. CFM was acquired by the Company from Mr. Sposato per the Contribution Agreement, dated August 1, 2022. In the Contribution Agreement, Mr. Sposato, as Contributor, has contributed, assigned, transferred and delivered to us, the outstanding capital stock of CFM and we have accepted the contributed shares from the Contributor. As full consideration for the Contribution, we have paid the Contributor consideration in the amount of $10.

 

We aim to offer corporate clients scalable enterprise AI sales and customer service solutions intended to rapidly increase sales and service, while lowering employment costs.

 

We seek to enhance rapport and relationship building for customers, which is as necessary component to sales. We believe that there is a positive correlation between AI which sounds similar to a human voice over the phone and better customer rapport and customer service benefits. With our advanced AI, we believe that it will be difficult for customers to distinguish between speaking to a human sales representative and to an AI bot. We believe we can increase customer satisfaction and maximize potential service efficiency for its clients. Our goal is to provide quick training and deployment, potentially unlimited scalability, easy integration with existing corporate platforms and other benefits to our customers from AI’s efficiency.

 

We strive to help our customers manage budgets and perform better than the high costs of existing sales and service personnel.

Corporate History

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on April 27, 2021.

 

Our principal executive office is located at 7781 NW Beacon Square Blvd, Unit 102-V64, Boca Raton, Florida 33487. Our telephone number is (561) 484-5234. Our website address is https://vocodia.com/ and our general email is sales@vocodia.com. The information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this report, and you should not consider any information (nor use the same in deciding whether to purchase our common stock) contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website as part of this report.

 

A 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split of our common stock became effective on January 27, 2023. Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, every twenty (20) shares of common stock issued and outstanding upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split was combined and converted into one (1) share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split but was rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Reverse Stock Split had no effect on the authorized amount or par value of the common stock, preferred stock, or the currently issued and outstanding series of preferred stock and presently issued and outstanding preferred stock.

  

Our Organizational Structure

 

As of the date of this report, we employ 3 personnel, all of whom are contractors, in connection with its business operations. Our organizational structure currently consists of two executive officers (the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Product Officer), we have a part-time advisor in the finance and accounting department and a part-time executive assistant.

 

Significant Products & Services

 

We are a conversational AI software developer and provider. Our mission is to maximize value in communications between organizations and their consumer bases from “hello” to “goodbye”. Our goal is to be the conversational leader in corporate and organizational, agenda driven communications, to drive convenience, scale, and empowerment, while reducing operational costs and risk.

 

We offer our corporate clients scalable enterprise-level AI sales and customer service solutions which allow for AI sales representatives to reduce human labor costs and responsibilities while increasing the reach and efficacy of human-led, purposeful, agenda driven and conversational communications. We deliver our patent pending conversational AI software in the form of Digital Intelligent Sales Agents, which we refer to as DISAs® (the “DISAs”). The DISAs are built with AI software programmed for the DISAs to sound and feel human and to perform business tasks that require humans to converse with one another effectively, and thus to provide the best representation for each of our customers’ businesses.

 

We have developed and released its first software product and platform, which we refer to as “DISA”, a humanized conversational AI technology, that can complete each stage of the conversational aspect of the sales process, business-to-business (“B2B”) and business-to-consumer (“B2C”).

 

Our prospects for direct software sales are any enterprise clients who are in the phone and call center markets. The initial sales targets were call centers who needed to replace poor performing staff in the pre-Covid-19 era. Now, our sales targets have shifted to filling empty seats in the call centers. Our technology powers our virtual agent, the DISA. In the current marketplace, we consider any corporate client with a 50-seat call center at a telephony location a potential sales client. These potential clients span many industry verticals, including but not limited to, health, solar, employee retention credit, insurance, recruiting and real estate, automotive, cruise lines and hospitality and lodging.

 

Our AI sales agents not only sell and serve prospects and customers, but also gather and report robust intelligence from customers and the marketplace. Vocodia’s DISAs are programmed to instantly answer customer service calls and to upsell and provide personalized customer care.

Our DISAs have been programmed to provide the marketplace with an alternative to human sales representatives in the function of (1) sales; (2) customer service; (3) supportive agency; (4) intermediary communications; and (5) alerts with automated transfers and queuing. The DISAs are tailored to serve the specific requirements of each of our customers and are delivered via our proprietary platform.

 

We view our DISAs as the total solution for those in need of sales and customer service automation, which provides the marketplace alternative to a role that has primarily been serviced by humans in the sales and customer service departments, in part or in whole, to increase our clients’ revenues and lower costs, providing them with the ability to produce campaigns fast and scale them up or down as necessary.

 

Our AI software is intended to provide a solution for operational costs and efficiency deficits by improving business automation and reducing the inefficiencies caused by human limitations. Our motto is to “Go Beyond Human”, with AI alternative of human salespeople and customer service representatives. We aim to lower costs associated with sales campaigns that rely on humans and provide scalability of agent quantity, style, mission, and other personalization at varying levels for each organization’s needs.

 

We have developed and released its first software product and platform, which we refer to as “DISA”, a humanized conversational AI technology, that can complete each stage of the conversational aspect of the sales process, business-to-business (“B2B”) and business-to-consumer (“B2C”).

 

Our prospects for direct software sales are any enterprise clients who are in the phone and call center markets. The initial sales targets were call centers who needed to replace poor performing staff in the pre-Covid-19 era. Now, our sales targets have shifted to filling empty seats in the call centers.

These potential clients span many industry verticals, including but not limited to, health, solar, employee retention credit, insurance, recruiting and real estate, automotive, cruise lines and hospitality and lodging.

 

Our AI sales agents not only sell and serve prospects and customers, but also gather and report robust intelligence from customers and the marketplace. Vocodia’s DISAs are programmed to instantly answer customer service calls and to upsell and provide personalized customer care.

 

We have achieved a new milestone. Our telephonic switch, connecting our conversational AI to the world via telephone, can now manage and connect a single DISA to 20,000 simultaneous unique telephone conversations (unique customers). We call this quantity of active telephone lines, “Clusters”.

 

We can add on new Clusters in 4 to 5 minutes, and to date, we have not identified a limit of Clusters managing simultaneous conversations. Using Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) and our proprietary switch, customers can dial in on 20,000 lines and be answered by our AI representatives, as well as dial out and initiate full sales and customer service functions. The advantage of this technology is that organizations may now manage surges of interest, customer service, or emergencies, without backlog or hold times.

 

We believe this scale of “telephone switch clusters” is a unique service in the world, providing benefit to organizations in unanticipated surges of customer services, sales and information exchange demand.

 

Market Overview

 

Growth for most businesses means increasing sales and services. However, growth is often limited by available resources, such as customers and employees. Planning, recruiting, training and retaining employees to focus on growth (sales), and retaining such employees (attrition), is typically expensive and costs can be prohibitive. Further, labor costs can be a considerable percentage of overall costs for running the business as they include, without limitation, employee wages, benefits, payroll or other related taxes. There may be no relief for businesses faced with the necessary employment costs of sales agents and customer service personnel.

 

  Voice Quality: We provide AI with high-level voice quality and seeks to deliver superior service in the marketplace.

  Quality Sales: We use the following sales and marketing strategy: Prospects – Qualifies – Closes – Processes Orders – Upsells. Our DISAs are able to generate more leads and more transfers to clients so they can sell or upsell their new leads and transfers on their products. We believe that our customers can become more efficient by hiring DISA “fronters”, rather than traditional “fronters”. These traditional human “fronters” have served as the driving force in call centers making 150 or so calls daily to qualify potential clients. Once qualified, they then transfer the call to another department of the call center which handles the final transactional element of the sales call. The fronter position is the high turnover, low pay, very hard to hire, part for call centers that are the costliest and least productive. We automate this part of the process using AI to make these calls, instead of the human fronters. In addition, AI only has to be trained once, does not take vacation, can call 24/7, and could cost less than human fronters. Thereby, corporate clients can receive the same level of sales expected from their top 85% of employees. We deliver effective, dependable, scalable to the hour, low variance sales and customer service solutions.

 

  Affordability: AI sales agents (also known as AI bots) cost less than one-third of human sales agents without human issues that tend to affect the processes, human resources and bottom line.

 

  Scalability: Our software is cloud-based and Application Programming Interface (“API”)-friendly, which is interoperable with third-party platforms. We offer companies scalable enterprise-level AI sales and customer service solutions which reduce human labor costs and responsibilities while increasing the reach and efficacy of human led, purposeful, agenda driven and conversational communications.

 

  Compliance: DISAs parameters are set by our clients’ needs and uploaded data. These inputs can include, but are not limited to, recordings, scripts and rebuttals supplied by a respective client. We use our clients’ data and trains their respective DISAs to converse with prospective customers, qualify them, and then transfer the call to a “closer” to sell to the customer. The AI/DISA can only say what they are trained and programmed to say. We believe this will lead to higher level of compliance, avoiding impromptu human errors which will not occur for our DISAs.
     
  Speedy Training: The AI can be trained in 3 days with: recordings of existing sales calls; and sales script for baseline and target goals. AI bots also continue to learn on the job from call interactions, thus machine learning progressively improves over time.

 

Strategy

 

Technology

 

We believe that we have built, and will continue to build, AI conversational systems that sound virtually the same as humans. Proprietary software and systems have been developed in-house from scratch with streamlined integration and a growing number of customer relationship managements (“CRMs”) and platforms all over the world. Our software uses Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Intelligence, Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning to provide a robust, continuously learning engine which can perform multiagent functions simultaneously. Our software is cloud-based, permitting easy API integration with most systems and platforms commonly used by businesses today.

 

Products

 

We have developed and released its first software product and platform, which we refer to as “DISA”, a humanized conversational AI technology, that can complete each stage of the conversational aspect of the sales process, business-to-business (“B2B”) and business-to-consumer (“B2C”).

Development Strategy

 

We plan three phases of development to become the largest and most profitable AI service provider, globally, in the next five years:

 

  Integrate AI sales agents and customer service offerings directly into existing enterprises and then via CRM applications;

 

  Increase sales of AI-assisted workflow to more enterprises in a variety of functions and industries (e.g., food ordering, administration, accounting, bookkeeping and human resources). Grow revenue streams, including based upon market pricing where our DISAs can perform at advantageous margins such as notable efficiencies or less operational costs to achieve the same function to the satisfaction of the end customer (acquisitions may become a significant part of our growth strategy, but at this time we have not identified any specific candidates that meet our objectives); and

 

  Integrate personal AI assistants to individuals for overall life assistance, integrated with existing sales and other AI bots, to serve members of the community.

 

Acquisition Strategy

 

Our strategy includes seeking to selectively pursue acquisitions, including companies with revenue streams where our DISAs can perform at advantageous margins with noticeable efficiency or less operational costs to achieve the same function. We will concentrate on several important priorities in evaluating potential acquisition candidates, including the key considerations and objectives we hope to achieve, which are listed below:

 

  acquiring beneficial technology or use;
     
  accelerating market share;
     
  increasing revenue;
     
  enhancing efficiencies in product and service delivery;
     
  identifying and addressing possible threats to our organization;
     
  acquiring access to targeted and specified client base;
     
  reducing client acquisition costs by reducing our demands on resources and time (opportunity costs);
     
  acquiring client bases from companies who have service relationships with consumers and acquisitions of companies with or without offerings of similar services;
     
  reducing our client acquisition costs, preserving going rates of such services, and extending our wrapped services to such client base; and
     
  maintaining our dynamic pricing thereby potentially creating greater value opportunities and allows us to minimize market price arbitrage to maximize profit potential.

 

Management and Operating Strategy

 

Our management is market-receptive: as a new technology company, we seek to continuously identify new markets as well as industries where our services would be beneficial to potential customers. We believe that our technologies offer businesses and consumers significant advantages, but our technology is not yet generally recognized. We remain open to discovering new opportunities to offer our technology solutions.

 

5

 

 

We believe that we have an attractive operating model due to the scalability of our AI platform, the recurring nature of our revenue (Software-as-a Service (“SaaS”)) and the potentially high operating margins. We rely on conversions (sales) to generate increased free cash flow. Conversions happen for us when our clients use our services to sell their products/services to their customers. Our operational structure and AI focus allow us to convert enterprise clients in their call center environments (allowing us to rapidly convert clients in a cost-effective manner).

 

Given the fixed-cost nature of our technology, DISAs allow us to scale our solutions quickly with low marginal costs. These DISAs can pitch and close, as well as manage full customer service operations, in high data interactive demand-based industries, while providing a full human conversation experience to human customers. We offer our customers a contract term of 12 months, with a monthly fee of $1,495 per DISA per month. Additionally, we offer custom setup for a fee to begin building a DISA for a client (i.e., one-time setup fee for each client campaign). We believe that our recurring revenue, combined with our robust sales pipeline and enterprise customer base, will continue to contribute to our long-term growth and strong operating margins, giving us flexibility to allocate capital for our continued success.

 

Growth Strategy

 

We believe that we are well positioned for continued growth across the various markets in the call center space. Our strategy for achieving growth includes the following:

  

Continue to innovate

 

We believe a significant opportunity exists to enhance our technology platform and analytics using our vast database. We intend to expand our technology services offerings to capitalize on the evolving call center and customer service environment. Our investments in human capital, technology and services capabilities position us to continue to pursue rapid innovation. Examples of our recent innovations include upgrading our own proprietary switch. Our platform depends on phone switch capability (generally voice over internet protocol switches) to generate the actual connection from AI to the customer on the outside. Thus, we are dependent on outside telecom switches and infrastructure to manage the speed of our connection pace. This dynamic creates operational risk, due to the reliance of each switch provider’s technology and infrastructure limits. The bulk of our challenges come from switch uncertainty. Therefore, our goal is to improve our own company-controlled switch, which is critical to our economic health, growth and can facilitate easier delivery of services provided in each software sale. We believe this development would provide us with switch independence, allowing us to obtain more control, efficiency and certainty of delivery while lowering internal costs and managing traffic to external, non-company managed switches. The benefits of building our own switch allows us to scale faster in the quantity of software licenses, the variety of industries and verticals served, the independent scale of service utilized by each individual software licensee (end user), and the quantity of connections made by the hour.

 

Expand portfolio through strategic acquisitions

 

We have developed an internal capability to source, evaluate and integrate acquisitions that have created value for our stockholders. We plan to target strategic acquisitions subsequent to the closing of this initial public offering, but we have not currently entered into any agreements for the acquisition of significant assets, businesses or companies. While there is no guarantee that any acquisition will be completed, successful acquisitions may bring a collection of complimentary technology and existing revenue to us.  We also plan to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions to grow our platform and enhance our ability to provide more services to our clients. We also expect to seek favorable commercial opportunities, primarily in the areas of technological platforms, data suppliers and consulting services providers.

 

Customers

 

We have a diversified pipeline of potential clients. Current clients include health insurance providers, health insurance recruiting new agents, employee retention credits, solar, real estate recruitment and real estate new clients. Through the development of our proprietary switch (as described below) and technical team, we have the ability to scale our DISAs over time. We also intend to scale our client base by strategically adding new sales development personnel and customer service and support team members. We believe that we are in the early stages of penetrating this expanding market with our DISA technology platform.  Key elements of this strategy include:

 

  widely commercializing this new humanized conversational AI platform in the marketplace;

 

  increasing the enterprise client usage by increasing the number of DISAs per client;

 

  adding multi-channel capabilities to our platform in the form of text message, voicemail, social media (such as LinkedIn), etc. to increase connection rates; and

 

  acquiring new strategic partners who bring enhanced complimentary technology and revenue to help us increase market share.

Competition

 

We operate in a competitive market with many competitors. The artificial intelligence and customer service market opportunity is large, and many companies compete in these sectors.

 

We are in the humanized conversational AI market. We are specifically in the call center market, changing the way call centers do business. We help fill the empty seats in call centers.

 

We are unique in the AI sector in that it has client service systems which allow for quicker delivery than competitors of partial or full replacement humans in conversation-dependent job functions. We use our proprietary augmented and AI software to match, duplicate or reimagine specific conversation-dependent job functions. We create a unique system of individual agents for each customer. We also have a proprietary deployment platform which allows for agenda-driven conversations to be connected from ‘computer’ to humans over telephonic networks. Further, each conversation is recorded and timestamped, creating a deliverable recording and transcript of each exchange between computer and human client. Our greatest differentiator is the ability to scale up or down the quantity of human equivalent agents to meet client demands. Our platform permits speedy delivery, cost effective alternatives to traditional sales, marketing and market intelligence. We use agenda-driven, consumer-targeted engagement campaigns. We believe that our software and platform provides significant benefits to call centers, both commercial exchange services and independent internal call centers, regardless of their size.

 

Trademarks and Patents

 

On August 1, 2022, Mr. Podolak and Mr. Sposato, each an officer and director of the Company, assigned to the Company (the “Parties”) significant intellectual property pursuant to a Bill of Sale and Assignment entered into by the Parties (“Bill of Sale and Assignment”). The consideration for the assignment was 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued on January 5, 2023. Mr. Podolak and Mr. Sposato each received 150,000 shares, respectively. The intellectual property consists of various systems, software and other core technology used in our business and operations.

 

We currently have one outstanding patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on our technology and processes.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

We intend to use the following sales and marketing strategy: Prospects – Qualifies – Closes – Processes Orders – Upsells. Our DISAs are able to generate more leads and more transfers to clients so they can sell or upsell their new leads and transfers on their products. We believe that our customers can become more efficient by hiring DISA “fronters”, rather than traditional “fronters”. These traditional human “fronters” have served as the driving force in call centers making 150 or so calls daily to qualify potential clients. Once qualified, they then transfer the call to another department of the call center which handles the final transactional element of the sales call. The fronter position is the high turnover, low pay, very hard to hire, part for call centers that are the costliest and least productive. We automate this part of the process using AI to make these calls, instead of the human fronters. In addition, AI only has to be trained once, does not take vacation, can call 24/7, and could cost less than human fronters. Thereby, corporate clients can receive the same level of sales expected from their top 85% of employees. We intend to deliver effective, dependable, scalable to the hour, low variance sales and customer service solutions.

 

Government Regulation

 

We are subject to a variety of domestic and foreign laws and regulations in the United States and abroad involving matters that are important to (or may otherwise impact) our various websites, such as broadband internet access, online commerce, privacy and data security, advertising, intermediary liability, consumer protection, taxation, worker classification and securities compliance. These domestic and foreign laws and regulations, which in some cases can be enforced by private parties in addition to government entities, are continually evolving and can be subject to significant change. As a result, the application, interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations (and any amended, proposed or new laws and regulations) are often uncertain, particularly in the Internet industry, and may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and over time, which could result in conflicts with the current policies and practices of our websites.

Because we conduct substantially all of our business on the Internet, we are particularly sensitive to laws and regulations that could adversely impact the popularity or growth in use of the Internet and/or online products and services generally, restrict or otherwise unfavorably impact whether or how we may provide our products and services, regulate the practices of third parties upon which we rely to provide our products and services and/or undermine an open and neutrally administered Internet access. For example, in December 2017, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission adopted the Restoring Internet Freedom Order. This order, which was released in January 2018 and took effect in June 2018, reversed net neutrality protections in the United States that had been in place since 2015, including the repeal of specific rules against blocking, throttling or “paid prioritization” of content or services by Internet service providers. Also, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (“Section 230”), which generally provides immunity for website publishers from liability for third party content appearing on their platforms and the good faith removal of third party content from their platforms that they may deem obscene or offensive (even if constitutionally protected speech), since its adoption has been (and continues to be) subject to a number of challenges. The immunities conferred by Section 230 could also be narrowed or eliminated through amendment, regulatory action or judicial interpretation. In 2018, the U.S. Congress amended Section 230 to remove certain immunities and most recently, in 2020, various members of the U.S. Congress introduced bills to further limit Section 230, and a petition was filed by a Department of Commerce entity with the Federal Communications Commission to commence a rulemaking to further limit Section 230. Any future adverse changes to Section 230 could result in additional compliance costs for us and/or exposure for additional liabilities.

 

Because we receive, store and use a substantial amount of information received from or generated by our users and subscribers, we are also impacted by laws and regulations governing privacy, the storage, sharing, use, processing, disclosure and protection of personal data and data security, primarily in the case of our operations in the United States and the European Union and the handling of personal data of users located in the United States and the European Union. Recent examples of comprehensive regulatory initiatives in the area of privacy and data security include a comprehensive European Union privacy and data protection reform, the GDPR, which became effective in May 2018. The GDPR, which applies to certain companies that are organized in the European Union or otherwise provide services to (or monitor) consumers who reside in the European Union, imposes significant penalties (monetary and otherwise) for non-compliance, as well as provides a private right of action for individual claimants. The GDPR will continue to be interpreted by European Union data protection regulators, which may require us to make changes to our business practices and could generate additional risks and liabilities. The European Union is also considering an update to its Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive to impose stricter rules regarding the use of cookies.

 

In addition, in October 2015, the European Court of Justice (“ECJ”) invalidated the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor framework that had been in place since 2000 for the transfer of personal data from the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) to the United States, and on July 16, 2020, the ECJ invalidated the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield as an adequate safeguard when transferring personal data from the EEA to the U.S. These regulations continue to evolve and may ultimately require us to devote resources towards compliance and/or make changes to our business practices to ensure compliance, all of which could be costly. Also, the exit from the European Union by the United Kingdom could result in the application of new and conflicting data privacy and protection laws and standards to our operations in the United Kingdom and our handling of personal data of users located in the United Kingdom. At the same time, many jurisdictions abroad in which we do business have already or are currently considering adopting privacy and data protection laws and regulations.

 

Moreover, while multiple legislative proposals concerning privacy and the protection of user information are being considered by the U.S. Congress and various U.S. state legislatures, certain U.S. state legislatures have already enacted privacy legislation, one of the strictest and most comprehensive of which is the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, which became effective on January 1, 2020 (the “CCPA”). The CCPA provides new data privacy rights for California consumers, and restricts the ability of certain of our websites to use personal California user and subscriber information in connection with their various products, services and operations. The CCPA also provides consumers with a private right of action for security breaches, as well as provides for statutory damages. In addition, on November 3, 2020, California voters approved Proposition 24, which amends certain provisions of the CCPA and becomes effects January 1, 2023, will further restrict the ability of certain of our websites to use personal California user and subscriber information in connection with their various products, services and operations and/or impose additional operational requirements on such websites. Lastly, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission has also increased its focus on privacy and data security practices, as evidenced by the first-of-its-kind, $5 billion dollar fine against a social media platform for privacy violations in 2019. As a result, we could be subject to various private and governmental claims and actions in this area.

 

As a provider of certain subscription-based products and services, we are also impacted by laws or regulations affecting whether and how our websites may periodically charge users for membership or subscription renewals. For example, the European Union Payment Services Directive, which became effective in 2018, could impact the ability of certain of our websites to process auto-renewal payments for, as well as offer promotional or differentiated pricing to, users who reside in the European Union. Similar laws exist in the U.S., including the federal Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act and various U.S. state laws, and legislative and regulatory enactments or amendments are under consideration in a number of U.S. states.

 

8

 

 

We are also sensitive to the adoption of new tax laws. The European Commission and several European countries have recently adopted (or intend to adopt) proposals that would change various aspects of the current tax framework under which certain of our European websites are taxed, including proposals to change or impose new types of non-income taxes (including taxes based on a percentage of revenue). 

 

We are also subject to laws, rules and regulations governing the marketing and advertising activities of our various websites conducted by or through telephone, email, mobile digital devices and the Internet, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the CAN-SPAM act and similar state laws, rules and regulations, as well as local laws, rules and regulations and relevant agency guidelines governing background screening.

 

Further, all of our websites could subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”). The ADA does not explicitly address online compliance. With no specific coverage under the law, it usually falls to the courts to determine how ADA standards apply to websites-or whether they do at all.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may be involved in various disputes and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business.

 

The Company received a letter dated August 28, 2023, from an attorney hired on behalf of a former employee of the Company. This former employee offered her resignation, which was accepted on July 12, 2023. This letter contains allegations that the former employee was sexually harassed and terminated wrongfully by the Company. The Company is of the opinion that allegations in this letter lack merit. The former employee recently filed a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Fair Employment Practices Agencies (EEOC/FEPA) alleging discrimination based on sex and retaliation, among other specific allegations including disparate impact/intent and/or treatment and discrimination/harassment/retaliation based on being a female. She also claims she was subjected to a sexually hostile environment. The Company has reported this matter to its insurance carrier and outside counsel has been engaged. The Company’s counsel filed a position statement with the EEOC in response to the filed charge. On December 9, 2024, the EEOC issued a Determination and Notice of Rights in which the EEOC dismissed all charges and stated the former employee has 90 days from the receipt of the Notice to file a lawsuit in state or federal court. The Company denies liability and intends to continue to vigorously defend any action that might subsequently be brought, although the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome is difficult to estimate as of this date. The result or impact of such allegations are uncertain, including whether or not they could result in damages and/or awards of attorneys’ fees or expenses.

 

ProofPositive LLC (“ProofPositive”) commenced an arbitration (“Arbitration”) before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) against the Company, Brian Podolak and his wife (under a pseudonym) (“Respondents”) on or about May 31, 2024. In the Arbitration, ProofPositive asserted a number of claims, including claims under the Arizona Securities Act, arising from Respondents’ alleged failure to pay sums purportedly due under a loan agreement and promissory note, an addendum and consulting agreement.

 

The Respondents filed their answer to the demand for Arbitration on July 1, 2024, in which they denied the material allegations contained in the demand for Arbitration and asserted affirmative defenses. Also, on July 1, 2024, the Company and Mr. Podolak moved to dismiss the Arbitration on the grounds that ProofPositive failed to satisfy certain conditions precedent to its right to demand arbitration, and on the ground that the AAA has no jurisdiction over the dispute at issue in the Arbitration. 

 

Carstens, Allen & Gourley, LLP (“Carstens”) commenced an action before the Texas Civil Court against the Company on or about August 12, 2024 (“Lawsuit”). In the Lawsuit, Carstens alleges that the Company was in breach of contract by failure and refusal to pay attorneys’ fees that it owes to Carstens. The Company has entered into settlement negotiations with Carstens. In December, 2024, Carstens filed for a default judgement for the unpaid fees. The Company is negotiating with Carstens for a mutually acceptable settlement.

 

On December 16, 2024, MAI Voice GCO, LLC filed a verified complaint alleging breach of contract and seeking $32,090. The Company denies liability and intends vigorously defend the action that was brought, although the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome is difficult to estimate as of this date. The result or impact of such allegations are uncertain, including whether or not they could result in damages and/or awards of attorneys’ fees or expenses.

In connection with settlements, the Company paid $894,072 and issued 1,801,880 shares of common stock, value at $7,657,990, to holders of such notes, as a result the Company recognized a loss on settlement of debt of $2,662,842. In addition, the Company issued 495,076 warrants, which immediately upon issuance at IPO were modified to Series C warrants and were classified as equity. The Company recognized a gain on settlement of derivative liability of $225,220, recognized as a settlement of debt.

 

On September 18, 2024, entered into a Convertible Note with a principal amount of $105,300 including $15,300 debt discount at a 22% interest rate per annum.

Revenue

 

The decrease in revenue of 80%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $50,078 as compared to $256,385 for the year ended December 31, 2023 was driven by a decrease in customers purchasing our DISA’s. Beginning in January 2024, we suspended sales of our DISA product in order to update its functionality so it could scale to the needs of our customers. As a result, we only earned $50,078 in revenue from integration, lead generation, and setup fees. We anticipate launching our improved DISA product in the second quarter of 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had 1 paying client who subscribed to 10 DISAs at a selling price of $795 per DISA for one month and another paying client who subscribed to 10 DISAs at a selling price of $800 per DISA for one month for total revenue of $15,950 for the period. Additionally, we earned $240,435 in integration, lead generation, and setup fees, resulting in total revenue of $256,385.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue decreased to $105,954for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $ 220,777 for the year ended December 31, 2023, due to the reduction in service revenue described above.

Operating expense increased by $53,296 or 1% to $ 5,844,505 during the year ended December 31, 2024 from $5,791,209 during the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase is primarily due to a increase in our general and administrative expenses, offset by a reduction in salaries and wages.

 

General and Administrative Expenses increased by $1,483,047or 80% to $3,344,858 during the year ended December 31, 2024 from $1,861,811 during the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase is primarily due to increases in fees paid for legal costs, accounting fees, investor relations and other costs inherent in operating a public company.Salaries and wages decreased by $1,399,933 or 55% to $1,146,090 from $2,546,023 during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2024, salaries and wages decreased primarily due to a reduction in staffing as we scaled back our operations.

 

Research and development decreased by $29,818 or 2% to $1,353,557 from $1,383,375, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which was primarily due to a reduction in our outsourced research and development team.

 

Total other income (expense)

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we had other expense of $4,126,710, which consisted of other income of 16,086 and an inecrease in fair value of derivative liabilities of $115,296, offset by a loss on settlement of debt of $3,824,936 and interest expense of $433,153.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following table provides selected financial data about us as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023

 

   December 31,   December 31,         
   2024   2023   Change   % 
Current assets  $78,357   $12,770   $65,65,587    514%
Current liabilities  $2,241,525   $7,894,129   $(5,652,604)   -72%
Working capital deficiency  $(2,163,168)  $(7,881,359)  $(5,718,191)   -73%

 

Current assets increase by $ 65,587, or 514%, to $78,357 as of December 31, 2024 from $12,770 as of December 31, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in prepaid expenses.

 

Current liabilities decreased by $5,652,604, or 72%, to $2,241,525 as of December 31, 2024 from $7,894,129 as of December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease, , in accounts payable of $135,425, conversion of $3,546,028 in convertible notes, a decrease in derivative liability of 1,922,879, and the derecognition of the current portion of operating lease liability of 106,833, offset by a increase in related party payables of $22,612 and a note payable of $15,000.

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support asset growth, satisfy disbursement needs, maintain reserve requirements and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. We have insufficient cash flows generated from operations, so we are currently dependent on debt financing and sale of equity to fund operations.

 

We had an accumulated deficit of $100,535,261 and negative working capital of $2,163,168 as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, we had $281 of cash.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

At December 31, 2024, we did not have any off balance sheet arrangements that we believe have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

 

Going Concern

 

Management has concluded that there is a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors concurred with our management’s assessment that raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient profits or raise additional debt or equity capital in amounts needed to fund its operations, it could have a negative impact on the Company’s business plans and ability to conduct its operations.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We are not currently required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. Upon becoming a public company, we will be required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which will require our management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We will be required to make our first assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and to comply with the management certification requirements of Section 404 in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year following our first annual report that is filed with the SEC (subject to any change in applicable SEC rules).

 

Further, our independent registered public accounting firm is not yet required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and will not be required to do so for as long as we are an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the JOBS Act. See “Summary-Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company.”

 

Currently, we do not yet have effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal controls over all aspects of our financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Our management has deemed certain conditions to be material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal controls. For example, we failed to employ a sufficient number of staff to maintain optimal segregation of duties and to provide optimal levels of oversight and we rely upon a third-party accounting firm to assist us with generally accepted in the GAAP compliance. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. We will be required to expend time and resources to further improve our internal controls over financial reporting, including by expanding our staff. However, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.

 

Summary of Accounting Policies

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We believe our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to the following: 

 

  Share-based compensation

 

  Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments

 

  Initial Measurement of Warrant

 

While our estimates and assumptions are based on our knowledge of current events and on actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. For a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

19

 

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to nonemployees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity 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.  

 

The Company valued common stock compensation expense to employees based on a weighted average price of shares issued to unrelated parties for proceeds. The Company previously issued common stock units in exchange for cash. A common stock unit comprised of one share of common stock and one common stock warrant. The Company estimated the fair value of common stock for common stock units based on a Level 3 fair value measurement using unobservable input and used the Black-Scholes valuation model to back solve for the fair value allocated to the common stock and the common stock warrant.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For our derivative financial instruments, the Company used a Black Scholes valuation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within twelve (12) months of the balance sheet date.

 

The Black-Scholes model, which requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The current stock price is based on historical issuances. Expected volatility is based on the historical stock price volatility of comparable companies’ common stock, as our stock does not have sufficient historical trading activity. Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods.

 

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own 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 warrant 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 additional paid-in capital 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 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 fair value of the warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model.

The following are the Company’s significant accounting policies: 

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vocodia and CFM which are consolidated as they are under common management with certain stockholders of Vocodia. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Vocodia acquired 100% ownership in CFM effective on August 1, 2022. Vocodia paid $10.00 in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of CFM.

 

While Mr. Sposato owned 100% of CFM, Vocodia’s founder and Chief Executive Officer has been a co-manager of CFM from 2019 to 2022, where he was responsible for sales, marketing and strategy. The transaction between CFM and Vocodia was accounted for according to ASC 810-10-20, which allows financial statements of a consolidated group to be presented as those of a single entity if they are commonly controlled or commonly managed. As such, the financial statements are presented as consolidated because both entities were commonly managed.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments Significant estimates are contained in the accompanying financial statements for the valuation of derivatives, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, share-based compensation, useful lives for depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, and the incremental borrowing rate used on right-of-use asset.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts and money market funds with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per institution. The amount in excess of the FDIC insurance as of December 31, 2024 and 2023December 31, 2024 and 2024 was approximately $0 and $0, respectively. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.

 

21

 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major betterments and additions are charged to the property and equipment accounts, while replacements, maintenance, and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are charged to expense. The carrying amounts of assets that are sold or retired and their related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. Depreciation is calculated on straight-line basis with estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Furniture and fixtures   7 years  
Computer equipment   5 years  

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”), which requires the Company to recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASC 606, as amended, defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The Company’s revenues are derived from three sources: (1) implementation fees, (2) offering its software as a service on a recurring monthly basis, and (3) generation and verification of leads. Implementation fees are charged for setting up or calibrating its software so that the AI can be used by the customer for its particular use case, and are usually a one-time cost. The Company’s contracts with customers are structured with stated prices per service performed, which are not subject to uncertainty or probability of significant reversal; thus do not represent variable consideration. The recurring monthly fees are charged for the ongoing use of the AI to continue to call/prospect for the Company’s customers, and are charged on a monthly recurring basis. The Company award discounts to its customers on a discretionary basis. Contract liabilities, amounting to $15,950 and $15,950 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, pertain to customer deposits for future services, which are expected to be performed and earned during the years ended.

 

Research and Development and Software Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software, the Company capitalizes certain internal use software development costs associated with creating and enhancing internally developed software related to its platforms. Software development activities generally consist of three stages (i) the research and planning stage, (ii) the application and development stage, and (iii) the post-implementation stage. Costs incurred in the planning and postimplementation stages of software development, or other maintenance and development expenses that do not meet the qualification for capitalization are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the application and infrastructure development stage, including significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized. These costs include personnel expenses for employees or consultants who are directly associated with and who devote time to software projects, and external direct costs of materials obtained in developing the software. These software developments and acquired technology costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life upon the “go-live” date. The Company did not capitalize any of its costs associated with the development of its software as technological feasibility was established within a short time frame from the software’s general availability.

 

22

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows accounting guidelines on fair value measurements for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis, as well as for certain assets and liabilities that are initially recorded at their estimated fair values. Fair Value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The Company uses the following three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to value its financial instruments:

 

  Level 1: Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
     
  Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
     
  Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires a significant judgment or estimation.

 

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires the Company to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed, or initial amounts recorded, may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and convertible debt approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

 

Set out below are the Company’s financial instruments that are required to be remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis and their fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Total Liabilities   $ -     $ -     $ 1,922,879     $ 1,922,879  

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for possible impairment at least annually, and more frequently if circumstances warrant. Impairment is determined to exist when estimated amounts recoverable through future cash flows from operations on an undiscounted basis, are less than long-lived assets carrying value. If a long-lived asset is determined to be impaired, it is written down to its estimated fair value to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses on long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

23

 

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

Pursuant to ASC 340-10-S99-1, costs directly attributable to an offering of equity securities are deferred and would be charged against the gross proceeds of the offering as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting, and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the proposed public offering. Should the proposed public offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be expensed.

 

As at December 31, 2024 and 2023, deferred offering costs consisted of the following:

 

   2024   2023 
General and administrative expenses  $    -   $153,976 
Share-based equity compensation   -    3,931,750

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $ 492,756 and $78,097, respectively.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to nonemployees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity 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. Further information regarding share-based compensation can be found in Notes 7 and 8.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The Company’s tax years subject to examination by tax authorities generally remain open for three (3) years from the date of filing.

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Deferred tax assets are required to be reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Leases

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our balance sheets. The Company did not utilize any financing that required recognition of finance leases during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

24

 

 

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on our balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in our statement of operations. We have elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for any class of underlying asset.

 

The Company determines the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases by estimating a rate of interest that it would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments and a similar economic environment (the “incremental borrowing rate” or “IBR”).

 

The Company determines the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances. For the reference rate, the Company used the seven-year mortgage interest rate.

 

Convertible Notes

 

The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For our derivative financial instruments, the Company used a Black Scholes valuation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within twelve (12) months of the balance sheet date.

 

25

 

 

Warrants

 

The Company account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own 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 warrant 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 additional paid-in capital 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 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 fair value of the warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

 

Net loss per share of common stock requires presentation of basic earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent share arrangements, warrants unless the result would be antidilutive.

 

The dilutive effect of restricted stock units subject to vesting and other share-based payment awards is calculated using the “treasury stock method,” which assumes that the “proceeds” from the exercise of these instruments are used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is calculated using the “if-converted method.” Under the if-converted method, securities are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period, and the resulting shares of common stock are included in the denominator of the diluted calculation for the entire period being presented.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive.

 

   December 31   December 31 
   2024   2023 
   Shares   Shares 
Warrants   1,817,852    461,500 
Convertible notes payable   -    1,507,531 
Total common stock equivalents   1,817,852    1,969,031 

 

Segments

 

The Company operates as a single operating segment, being a provider of conversational artificial intelligence technology. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, its Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for the purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s primary operations are in the United States and it has derived substantially all of its revenue from sales to customers in this jurisdiction.

 

26

 

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after February 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its financial statements.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The guidance replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credits, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. ASC 326 requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of a company’s portfolio. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities the Company does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell. The ASU can be adopted no later than January 1, 2020 for SEC filers and January 1, 2023 for private companies and smaller reporting companies. The Company has not yet adopted this ASU as it qualifies as a smaller reporting company. The adoption of this ASU, on January 1, 2023, did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting Topic 280, “Segment Reporting-Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which allows disclosure of one or more measures of segment profit or loss used by the chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. Additionally, the standard requires enhanced disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items, as well as incremental qualitative disclosures on both an annual and interim basis. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and retrospective application is required for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The adoption of this ASU, on January 1, 2023, did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements, changes in accounting pronouncements or recently adopted accounting guidance during the year ended December 31, 2024 that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Commercial Matters

 

From time to time, the Company may become subject to threatened and/or asserted claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any matters, either individually or in the aggregate, that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

Issuance of Convertible Notes

 

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company issued $3,368,236 in original issue discount senior secured convertible notes (together, the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes bear interest at an annualized rate of 15%, with no interest for the first nine months. The Convertible Notes mature nine (9) months after the original issue date of the Convertible Notes, whereupon all outstanding principal and accrued interest is due to the holders of the Convertible Notes.

  

27

 

 

The Convertible Notes include a conversion feature, whereupon a successful Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) (the “Liquidity Event”), the Convertible Notes may be payable to the holders by the Company delivering to the holders shares of common stock equal to the payment amount due at the date of the Liquidity Event divided by the conversion price. As defined in the agreement, the conversion price is the product of the offering price per share of common stock paid in a Liquidity Event and a 35% discount.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company issued common stock purchase warrants to the holders of the Convertible Notes (the “Warrants”). The Warrants give the holders the right, but not the obligation, to purchase shares of the Company obtained by dividing 50% of the original principal amount of the Convertible Notes by the offering price per share of common stock paid in a Liquidity Event. The exercise price of the Warrants is equal to the product of the conversion price of the Convertible Notes and 120%. The Warrants expire five (5) years from the consummation of the first Liquidity Event.

 

The conversion feature and Warrants have been accounted for as a derivative liability, in accordance with ASC 815 (see Note 7).

 

During January 2024, the Company modified outstanding 2022 Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes with original principal and accrued interest, by agreeing to certain penalties, to extend the maturity dates until February 28, 2024. The Company determined the modifications to be debt extinguishment. As a result of the debt extinguishment, the Company recognized a loss on settlement of debt of $1,387,314.

 

During February 2024, the Company modified certain 2023 Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes with original principal and accrued interest, to extend the maturity dates until February 28, 2024. The Company determined these to be a modification.

 

In February 2024, on completion of the IPO, all outstanding 2023 and 2022 Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes with original principal and accrued interest have been settled. In connection with settlements, the Company paid $894,072 and issued 1,801,880 shares of common stock, value at $7,657,990, to holders of such notes, as a result the Company recognized a loss on settlement of debt of $2,662,842. In addition, the Company issued 495,076 warrants, which immediately upon issuance at IPO were modified to Series C warrants and were classified as equity. The Company recognized a gain on settlement of derivative liability of $225,220, recognized as a settlement of debt.

 

Prior to the modifications and settlements in January and February 2024, the Company recognized a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability for the convertible debt of $145,895 and a loss on change of derivative liability for the warrants of $30,599.

 

On September 18, 2024, entered into a Convertible Note with a principal amount of $105,300 including $15,300 debt discount at a 22% interest rate per annum. Additionally, the Company incurred legal fee reimbursement and due diligence fee amounting to $2,500 and $3,500 recognized as financing cost, respectively.

 

On December 20, 2024, entered into a Convertible Note with a principal amount of $60,000 including $10,000 debt discount at a 20% interest rate compounded monthly.

As a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information in this Item.

 

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

       

The financial statements and supplementary financial information required by this Item are set forth immediately following the signature page and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our President and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls were not effective at December 31, 2024.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
     
  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
     
  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

As an emerging growth company experiencing rapid growth, we have worked diligently to improve processes within our company that increase risk related to transaction processing which can impact our financial reporting. We intend to implement a significant number of manual compensating controls to address this risk.

 

30

 

 

Because of the 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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

Our management, including our President and our Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 2013 Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this Annual Report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective.

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report by our company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that require our company to provide only our company’s management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Vocodia Holdings Corp. (VHAI)

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Vocodia Holdings Corp. (VHAI) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

 

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of at December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Substantial doubt about Company’s ability to continue as a going concern

 

The accompanying 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 incurred recurring losses from operations, has a significant accumulated deficit, operates out of a shared business location, and currently has no employees. Furthermore, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its capacity to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing. However, there is no assurance that such funding will be available from external sources. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date the financial statements are issued. Management’s plans to address these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements, and (2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex auditor judgment.

 

We determined that there are no critical audit matters to communicate.

 

Other Matters

 

We are not engaged to audit the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we considered the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our audit procedures, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

We draw attention to the changes in the Company’s governance structure during calendar year 2024. The following individuals resigned from their designated executive or board positions:

 

Scott J. Silverman – Chief Financial Officer

 

Lourdes Felix – Independent Director

 

Randall Miles – Independent Director

 

Ned L. Siegel – Independent Director

 

As of the date of this report, the Audit Committee is no longer constituted, and the Board of Directors is composed solely of Mr. Brian Podolak (Chief Executive Officer) and Mr. James Sposato (Chief Technology Officer).

 

The financial statements of Vocodia Holdings Corp. (VHAI) for the year ended December 31, 2023, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm, who expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated April 16, 2024.

 

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

 

For, Pipara & Co LLP (6841)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Vocodia Holdings Corp.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Vocodia Holdings Corp (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the adjustments to retrospectively apply the change in accounting for ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures as described in Note 1 and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about whether such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. Those adjustments were audited by Pipara & Co LLP.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying 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 incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and is dependent on additional financing to fund operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 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.

VOCODIA HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND GOING CONCERN

 

Organization and Business Overview

 

The Company and Business: Vocodia Holdings Corp (“Vocodia”or “the Copmany”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on April 27, 2021 and is a conversational artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology provider. Vocodia’s technology is used to increase sales and drive conversions for its product or service.

 

Click Fish Media, Inc. (“CFM”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on November 29, 2019 and is an IT services provider.

 

On August 2, 2022, Vocodia purchased all outstanding shares of CFM held by an owner under common ownership for $10 in consideration. The Company determined that the acquisition met the requirements for accounting for the transaction as a transfer of an asset in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50, common control transactions and is accounted for by Vocodia at the carrying value of the net assets transferred on a prospective basis. The transfer was not determined to be significant to the accounting and operations of Vocodia.

 

Going Concern 

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States including the assumption of a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, as shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of approximately $10.03 million, an accumulated deficit of $100.5 million, and used cash in operations of approximately $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and negative working capital of $2.1 million. In February 2024, the Company completed an Initial Public Offering of its securities in which it raised $5.95 million in gross proceeds, before underwriting fees and expenses. The Company expects to continue to incur significant expenditures to develop its technology. As such, there is substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management recognizes that the Company must obtain additional resources to successfully develop its technology and implement its business plans. Through December 31, 2024, the Company has received funding in the form of indebtedness and from the sale stock subscriptions. Management plans to continue to raise funds and/or refinance our indebtedness to support our operations in 2024 and beyond. However, no assurances can be given that we will be successful. If management is not able to timely and successfully raise additional capital and/or refinance indebtedness, the implementation of the Company’s business plan, financial condition and results of operations will be materially affected These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis with those of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Vocodia FL, LLC, Vocodia JV, LLC, and CFM. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 

 

F-10

 

 

Reclassification

 

Certain accounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments Significant estimates are contained in the accompanying financial statements for the valuation of derivatives, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, share-based compensation, useful lives for depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, and the incremental borrowing rate used on right-of-use asset. 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts and money market funds with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per institution. The amount in excess of the FDIC insurance as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $0 and $0 respectively. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major betterments and additions are charged to the property and equipment accounts, while replacements, maintenance, and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are charged to expense. The carrying amounts of assets that are sold or retired and their related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. Depreciation is calculated on straight-line basis with estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Furniture and fixtures   7 years 
Computer equipment   5 years 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The Company follows a five-step process to achieve this core principle: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The Company’s revenues are currently derived from three sources: (1) implementation fees, (2) offering its software as a service on a recurring monthly basis, and (3) generation and verification of leads. Implementation fees are charged for setting up or calibrating its software so that the AI can be used by the customer for its particular use case and are usually a one-time cost. The Company’s contracts with customers are structured with stated prices per service performed, which are not subject to uncertainty or probability of significant reversal; thus, do not represent variable consideration. The recurring monthly fees are charged for the ongoing use of the AI to continue to call/prospect for the Company’s customers, and are charged on a monthly recurring basis. The Company awards discounts to its customers on a discretionary basis. The Company will consider additional revenue streams as its technology develops and new opportunities present.

Research and Development and Software Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software, the Company capitalizes certain internal use software development costs associated with creating and enhancing internally developed software related to its platforms. Software development activities generally consist of three stages (i) the research and planning stage, (ii) the application and development stage, and (iii) the post-implementation stage. Costs incurred in the planning and postimplementation stages of software development, or other maintenance and development expenses that do not meet the qualification for capitalization are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the application and infrastructure development stage, including significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized. These costs include personnel expenses for employees or consultants who are directly associated with and who devote time to software projects, and external direct costs of materials obtained in developing the software. These software developments and acquired technology costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life upon the “go-live” date. The Company did not capitalize any of its costs associated with the development of its software as technological feasibility was established within a short time frame from the software’s general availability.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows accounting guidelines on fair value measurements for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis, as well as for certain assets and liabilities that are initially recorded at their estimated fair values. Fair Value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The Company uses the following three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to value its financial instruments:

 

  Level 1: Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
     
  Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
     
  Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires a significant judgment or estimation.

 

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires the Company to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed, or initial amounts recorded, may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and convertible debt approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

 

Set out below are the Company’s financial instruments that are required to be remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis and their fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2023 (non for December 31,2024) see Note 7:

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for possible impairment at least annually, and more frequently if circumstances warrant. Impairment is determined to exist when estimated amounts recoverable through future cash flows from operations on an undiscounted basis, are less than long-lived assets carrying value. If a long-lived asset is determined to be impaired, it is written down to its estimated fair value to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses on long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. 

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

Pursuant to ASC 340-10-S99-1, costs directly attributable to an offering of equity securities are deferred and would be charged against the gross proceeds of the offering as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting, and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the proposed public offering. Should the proposed public offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be expensed.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, deferred offering costs consisted of the following:

 

   December 31,   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
General and administrative expenses  $
        -
   $153,976 
Share-based equity compensation   
-
    3,931,750 
   $
-
   $4,085,726 

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 were $398,753 and $78,097, respectively.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to nonemployees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity 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. Further information regarding share-based compensation can be found in Note 9. 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The Company’s tax years subject to examination by tax authorities generally remain open for three (3) years from the date of filing.

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

F-13

 

 

Deferred tax assets are required to be reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Leases

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our balance sheets. The Company did not utilize any financing that required recognition of finance leases during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on our balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in our statement of operations We have elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for any class of underlying asset. 

 

The Company determines the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases by estimating a rate of interest that it would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments and a similar economic environment (the “incremental borrowing rate” or “IBR”).

 

The Company determines the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances. For the reference rate, the Company used the seven-year mortgage interest rate.

 

Convertible Notes

 

The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For our derivative financial instruments, the Company used a Black Scholes valuation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within twelve (12) months of the balance sheet date.

 

F-14

 

 

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own 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 warrant 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 additional paid-in capital 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 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 fair value of the warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

 

Net loss per share of common stock requires presentation of basic earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent share arrangements, warrants unless the result would be antidilutive.

 

The dilutive effect of restricted stock units, options and warrants subject to vesting and other share-based payment awards is calculated using the “treasury stock method,” which assumes that the “proceeds” from the exercise of these instruments are used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is calculated using the “if-converted method.” Under the if-converted method, securities are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period, and the resulting shares of common stock are included in the denominator of the diluted calculation for the entire period being presented. 

 

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive. 

 

   December 31   December 31

Segment

 

The Company operates as a single operating segment, being a provider of conversational artificial intelligence technology. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, its Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for the purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s primary operations are in the United States and it has derived substantially all of its revenue from sales to customers in this jurisdiction.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting Topic 280, “Segment Reporting-Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which allows disclosure of one or more measures of segment profit or loss used by the chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. Additionally, the standard requires enhanced disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items, as well as incremental qualitative disclosures on both an annual and interim basis. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and retrospective application is required for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after February 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its financial statements.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The guidance replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credits, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. ASC 326 requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of a company’s portfolio. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities the Company does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell. The ASU can be adopted no later than January 1, 2020 for SEC filers and January 1, 2023 for private companies and smaller reporting companies. The Company has not yet adopted this ASU as it qualifies as a smaller reporting company. The adoption of this ASU, on January 1, 2023, did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements, changes in accounting pronouncements or recently adopted accounting guidance during the year ended December 31, 2024 that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

NOTE 6 – NOTE PAYABLE AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE 

  

Note payable

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued note payable of $25,000 to pay professional fees and recorded it as deferred offering cost. The Note is unsecured, due on the earlier of the completion of an IPO or February 12, 2024, and bears interest at $5,000 if paid before December 31, 2023 or $25,000 if paid after December 31, 2023. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded interest expense of $0 and $5,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, accrued interest was $0 and $5,000, respectively.

 

In February 2024, the Company borrowed $30,000 and repaid the note payable and accrued interest totaling $43,000.

 

On December 16,2024, the Company issued note payable of $40,000 to pay professional fees. The note is unsecured, due on 180 days from the date of agreement with 20% interest rate per annum. During the year ended December 31,2024, the Company recognized and accrued interest of $329.

 

Convertible notes payable

 

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company issued $3,368,236 in original issue discount senior secured convertible notes (together, the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes bear interest at an annualized rate of 15%, with no interest for the first nine months. The Convertible Notes mature nine (9) months after the original issue date of the Convertible Notes, whereupon all outstanding principal and accrued interest is due to the holders of the Convertible Notes.

  

F-17

 

 

The Convertible Notes include a conversion feature, whereupon a successful Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) (the “Liquidity Event”), the Convertible Notes may be payable to the holders by the Company delivering to the holders shares of common stock equal to the payment amount due at the date of the Liquidity Event divided by the conversion price. As defined in the agreement, the conversion price is the product of the offering price per share of common stock paid in a Liquidity Event and a 35% discount.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company issued common stock purchase warrants to the holders of the Convertible Notes (the “Warrants”). The Warrants give the holders the right, but not the obligation, to purchase shares of the Company obtained by dividing 50% of the original principal amount of the Convertible Notes by the offering price per share of common stock paid in a Liquidity Event. The exercise price of the Warrants is equal to the product of the conversion price of the Convertible Notes and 120%. The Warrants expire five (5) years from the consummation of the first Liquidity Event.

 

The conversion feature and Warrants have been accounted for as a derivative liability, in accordance with ASC 815 (see Note 7).

 

During January 2024, the Company modified outstanding 2022 Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes with original principal and accrued interest, by agreeing to certain penalties, to extend the maturity dates until February 28, 2024. The Company determined the modifications to be debt extinguishment. As a result of the debt extinguishment, the Company recognized a loss on settlement of debt of $1,387,314.

 

During February 2024, the Company modified certain 2023 Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes with original principal and accrued interest, to extend the maturity dates until February 28, 2024. The Company determined these to be a modification.

 

In February 2024, on completion of the IPO, all outstanding 2023 and 2022 Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes with original principal and accrued interest have been settled. In connection with settlements, the Company paid $894,072 and issued 1,801,880 shares of common stock, value at $7,657,990, to holders of such notes, as a result the Company recognized a loss on settlement of debt of $2,662,842. In addition, the Company issued 495,076 warrants, which immediately upon issuance at IPO were modified to Series C warrants and were classified as equity. The Company recognized a gain on settlement of derivative liability of $225,220, recognized as a settlement of debt.

 

Prior to the modifications and settlements in January and February 2024, the Company recognized a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability for the convertible debt of $145,895 and a loss on change of derivative liability for the warrants of $30,599.

 

On September 18, 2024, entered into a Convertible Note with a principal amount of $105,300 including $15,300 debt discount at a 22% interest rate per annum. Additionally, the Company incurred legal fee reimbursement and due diligence fee amounting to $2,500 and $3,500 recognized as financing cost, respectively.

 

On December 20, 2024, entered into a Convertible Note with a principal amount of $60,000 including $10,000 debt discount at a 20% interest rate compounded monthly.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITITES

 

Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Liabilities

 

ASC 815 requires us to assess the fair market value of derivative liabilities at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as other income or expense. The Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value as of issuance date, at the IPO settlement date of February 26, 2024 and as of December 31,2024.

 

The Black-Scholes model, which requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The current stock price is based on historical issuances. Expected volatility is based on the historical stock price volatility of comparable companies’ common stock, as our stock does not have sufficient historical trading activity. Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods.

 

The following table summarizes the changes in the derivative liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

 

    2024     2023  
Expected exercise price   $ 3.32 - 8.50     $ 3.32 - $4.88  
Stock price   $ 2.76     $ 2.76 – $4.06  
Expected term     0.30 - 5.00 years       0.335.00 years  
Expected average volatility     80% - 108%       108% - 131%  
Expected dividend yield     -       -  
Risk-free interest rate     4.33% - 5.46%       3.84% - 5.60%  
Expected IPO Price (*)     -       $4.25 - $6.25  

 

*In 2024, the Company used actual IPO price.

 

F-19

 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows:

Effective February 28, 2025, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized common shares to 15,000,000,000.

 

The Company has authorized 15,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 24,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

On April 17, 2023, our Board passed a resolution, in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming which, when the SEC declares our registration statement effective, shall require the Company to amend the rights of all authorized, issued, outstanding, and forthcoming Series A Preferred Stock, so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have no right to vote on any matters brought before the stockholders of the Company. The removal of the voting rights became effective when the SEC declared our Registration Statement on Form S-1 effective on February 14, 2024

 

The Series A Preferred Stockholders are not entitled to any dividends, or mandatory conversion right or liquidation preference, however, they do have a voluntary conversion right.

 

Holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert at a ratio of 0.025 share of the Company’s common stock for 1 share of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (subject to adjustments relating to stock splits, distributions, mergers, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event). “Conversion Period” shall mean the period commencing on the earlier of (i) six months after the SEC declares the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 No. 333-269489 effective and (ii) the first anniversary of this unanimous written consent and ending on the fifth anniversary of this unanimous written consent. The conversion right of the Series A Shareholders shall become valid and in force when the SEC declares the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 No. 333- 269489 effective

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding, respectively.

Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock shall commence accruing on the issuance date and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months (with 1 year of dividends being guaranteed and deemed earned in full and payable on the first conversion date). From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Triggering Event the rate shall automatically be increased to twelve percent (12.0%) per annum.

 

Voting RightsThe Series C COD provides that holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall have the right to vote on all matters presented to the stockholders for approval together with the shares of Common Stock, voting together as a single class, on an “as converted” basis, other than in regards to the Exchange Limitation.

 

Liquidation. In addition, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, prior and in preference to the Common Stock, holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets available for distribution to stockholders before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any of shares of Junior Stock, but pari passu with any Parity Stock then outstanding, an amount per Preferred Share equal to the greater of (A) 120% of the Stated Value of such Preferred Share and (B) the amount per share such Holder would receive if such Holder converted such Preferred Share into Common Stock immediately prior to the date of such payment

 

Conversion. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be determined by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount of such Preferred Share by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”):

 

(i)“Conversion Amount” means, with respect to each Share, as of the applicable date of determination, the sum of (1) 120% of the Stated Value plus (2) the Additional Amount thereon and any accrued and unpaid late charges with respect to such Stated Value and Additional Amount as of such date of determination.

 

F-21

 

 

(ii)“Conversion Price” means, with respect to each Share, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, an initial price of $0.15, subject to further adjustment as provided herein. On each Reset Date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal the lower of (a) the Conversion Price then in effect (after taking into account and adjusting pursuant to Section 8(b)) and (b) 100% of the applicable Reset Price, determined as of the applicable date of determination; provided that, the Conversion Price shall not be lower than the Floor Price (as defined below). In the event that the number of Conversion Shares (as defined below) subject to a conversion would exceed the Exchange Limitation (as defined below) prior to the Exchange Limitation Date (as defined below), in aggregate with any prior conversions of the Preferred Shares or other issuances of shares of Common Stock that would be subject to the Exchange Limitation, then the Conversion Price shall not be less than the “Minimum Price” as such term is defined in Rule 14.10(i)(4) of the Rules of the BZX Exchange operated by Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (the “Minimum Price”); provided that, the Company shall, promptly following the Second Closing Date, take all corporate action necessary to call a meeting of its stockholders (the “Stockholders’ Meeting”), which shall occur not later than sixty (60) days from the Second Closing Date, for the purpose of seeking approval of the Company’s stockholders with respect to, inter alia, the issuance of all of the Preferred Shares and Conversion Shares, all as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal Market (or any successor entity) (the “Stockholder Approval”).

The Company’s board of directors shall recommend to the Company’s stockholders that the stockholders vote in favor of the proposals for Stockholder Approval at the Stockholders’ Meeting and take all commercially reasonable action (including, without limitation, the hiring of a proxy solicitation firm of nationally recognized standing) to solicit stockholder votes in respect of the Stockholder Approval. If the Company does not obtain Stockholder Approval at the Stockholders’ Meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every ninety (90) days thereafter to seek Stockholder Approval until the date that Stockholder Approval is obtained (the “Exchange Limitation Date”). In the event that the Conversion Price on a Conversion Date would have been less than the applicable Minimum Price or Floor Price if not for the Company obtaining Stockholder Approval, then on any such Conversion Date the Stated Value shall automatically be increased by an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the higher of (I) the highest price that the Common Stock trades at on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Conversion Date and (II) the applicable Conversion Price and (B) the difference obtained by subtracting (I) the number of shares of Common Stock delivered (or to be delivered) to the Holder on the applicable Conversion Date with respect to such conversion of Preferred Shares from (II) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the applicable Conversion Amount that the Holder has elected to be the subject of the applicable conversion of Preferred Shares, by (y) the applicable Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Conversion Price shall not be less than the Floor Price, which shall not be subject to any adjustment

NOTE 11 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we may be involved in various disputes and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business.

 

The Company received correspondence in February, 2023 from an attorney representing a former customer of the Company. The correspondence contains allegations that the customer provided certain leads to the Company that were not processed by the Company according to the agreement between the Company and the customer. Further, the customer alleges that it paid for the processing of those leads and that it was entitled to a refund of a portion of its payment. The Company has requested details of which leads were not processed, however the customer has not provided those details. The Company denies liability and intends to continue to vigorously defend any action, although the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome is difficult to estimate as of this date. The result or impact of such allegations are uncertain, including whether or not they could result in damages and/or awards of attorneys’ fees or expenses. While the outcome is uncertain, the Company has accrued $15,950 and accounted for it as Unearned Revenue until the matter is resolved.

 

The Company received a letter dated August 28, 2023, from an attorney hired on behalf of a former employee of the Company. This former employee offered her resignation, which was accepted on July 12, 2023. This letter contains allegations that the former employee was sexually harassed and terminated wrongfully by the Company. The Company is of the opinion that allegations in this letter lack merit. The Company has reported this matter to its insurance carrier and outside counsel has been engaged. The Company denies liability and intends to continue to vigorously defend any action, although the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome is difficult to estimate as of this date. The result or impact of such allegations are uncertain, including whether or not they could result in damages and/or awards of attorneys’ fees or expenses. In December 2023 the former employee’s attorney requested that the parties attend mediation, however a date for said mediation has not been determined. In December 2024, the EEOC dismissed the case.

 

On December 20, 2023, an individual filed a putative class action lawsuit against a customer of the Company that was using the Company’s DISA’s. Shortly thereafter, the individual filed a first amended complaint (FAC) adding the Company as a party. The FAC states that Plaintiff’s phone number has been on the National Do-Not-Call Registry since 2009. Despite this, Plaintiff alleges he received two prerecorded calls from the Company on behalf of its Customer on October 10 and November 28, 2023. Based on these alleged violations, Plaintiff asserts that the Company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act’s (TCPA) prerecorded call provision and the South Carolina Telephone Privacy Protection Act. In response to the FAC, both the Company and its Customer filed a motion to dismiss and motion to strike the class allegations. The motions are fully briefed, but the Court has yet to issue a ruling.

The Company will have approximately $19.2 and $13.1 million of gross net operating loss carry-forwards at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Federal NOLs do not expire, but are subject to 80% income limitation on use; state and local laws may vary by jurisdiction. Net deferred tax assets are mainly comprised of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amount and tax basis of assets and liabilities.

 

ASC 740 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a full valuation allowance was recognized.

 

In addition, the Company performed a comprehensive review of its uncertain tax positions and determined that no adjustments were necessary relating to unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for three years after the returns are filed, and as such the Company’s federal and state income tax returns remain open to examination.
