Organization and Business

 

Founded in 1979 as Information Analysis Incorporated (“IAI”), IAI changed its name to WaveDancer, Inc. (“WaveDancer” or the “Company”) and converted from a Virginia corporation to a Delaware corporation in December 2021. The Company was historically in the business of developing and maintaining information technology (“IT”) systems, modernizing client information systems, and performing other IT-related professional services to government and commercial organizations.

 

On March 17, 2023, the Company sold effectively 75.1% of the equity of its Gray Matters, Inc. subsidiary (“GMI”) to Gray Matters Data Corporation (“GMDC”). Subsequent to the sale, the Company discontinued consolidating GMI and the Company has reflected GMI as a discontinued operation in its consolidated statements of operations through 2023. Unless otherwise noted, all amounts and disclosures throughout these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the Company’s continuing operations. See Note 2 for further information about the sale transaction, the deconsolidation of GMI, and treatment of GMI as a discontinued operation. On August 9, 2023, the Company sold its remaining equity interest in GMDC.

 

Prior to March 17, 2023, we had two operating segments: Tellenger and Blockchain SCM. Following the sale of GMI, which comprised all of the material operations of the Blockchain SCM segment, it was presented as a discontinued operation (see Note 2), and the Blockchain SCM segment ceased to exist. After March 17, 2023, the Company managed its business as one reportable operating segment.

 

In connection with and prior to the consummation of the Merger (as defined and further described below), pursuant to the previously announced Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2023, by and among the Company, Wavetop Solutions, Inc. (“Wavetop”) and Tellenger, Inc. (“Tellenger”),  Wavetop purchased from the Company all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Tellenger prior to the merger, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million, plus the assumption of the employment agreements that WaveDancer was obligated under with G. James Benoit, Jr., Gwen Pal and Stan Reese, which included provisions to pay severance under certain circumstances. The purchase price was paid in full in cash less the outstanding balance of WaveDancer’s $500,000 credit facility with Summit Commercial Bank, N.A. (“SCB”). The balance of the credit facility at SCB was paid in full concurrent with the close of the Merger.

 

Agreement and Plan of Merger

 

On August 12, 2024, pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 15, 2023 (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1, dated as of January 12, 2024, and that certain Amendment No. 2, dated as of June 17, 2024, “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, FFN Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FFN”), and Firefly Neuroscience 2023, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as Firefly Neuroscience, Inc., “Firefly 2023”), FFN merged with and into Firefly 2023, with Firefly 2023 surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Firefly (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger (the Closing”), each holder of outstanding shares of Firefly 2023’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Firefly 2023 Common Stock”) received the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “New Firefly Common Stock”) equal to the number of shares of Firefly 2023 Common Stock such stockholders held multiplied by the exchange ratio, or an aggregate of 7,870,251 shares of Firefly common stock at Closing using an exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”) of 0.1040. Additionally, upon at the effective time of the Merger: (i) each outstanding option to purchase Firefly 2023 Common Stock that was not exercised prior to the Closing was assumed by the Company subject to certain terms contained in the Merger Agreement and became an option to purchase shares of New Firefly Common Stock, subject to adjustment to give effect to the Exchange Ratio, (ii) each outstanding Firefly 2023 restricted share unit outstanding immediately prior to the Closing was accelerated and vested pursuant to the terms thereof, and (iii) each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Firefly 2023 Common Stock that was not exercised prior to the Closing was assumed by the Company, subject to certain terms contained in the Merger Agreement.

 

Immediately prior to the Closing of the Merger, on August 12, 2024, (i) (A) pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of WaveDancer, Inc., WaveDancer changed its name to Firefly Neuroscience, Inc., and (B) pursuant to an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, Firefly 2023 changed its name to Firefly Neuroscience 2023, Inc. and (ii) Firefly effected a reverse stock split of all of the then issued and outstanding shares of Firefly’s common stock (“Firefly Common Stock) at a ratio of 1-for-3 (“Merger Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Merger Reverse Stock Split, every three (3) shares of the then issued and outstanding Firefly Common Stock were automatically combined into one (1) issued and outstanding share of Firefly Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share or the number of authorized shares of common stock. 

 

Following the Closing, there are 7,870,251 shares of New Firefly Common Stock outstanding, with former Firefly 2023 stockholders owning approximately 92% and former Firefly stockholders owning 8% of the Company’s outstanding securities.

 

Following the consummation of the Merger (as defined below), the business of Firefly 2023 became the business of the Company, as described below.

 

Firefly Business

 

Firefly is an Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) technology company developing innovative neuroscientific solutions that improve outcomes for patients with mental illnesses and neurological disorders. Its FDA-510(k) cleared Brain Network Analytics software platform (the “BNA Platform”) and is focused on advancing diagnostic and treatment approaches for people suffering from mental illnesses and cognitive disorders, including depression, dementia, anxiety disorders, concussions, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. 

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company generated an operating loss from continuing operations of $1,056,041. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a net working capital deficit of $746,040 including cash and cash equivalents of $244,137. Under existing operating conditions, we estimate that over the twelve months from the date of these financial statements our operating activities may use as much as $1.0 million to $1.5 million of cash, including the satisfaction of all existing liabilities. The Company's line of credit balance as of  June 30, 2024, was $300,000, had no additional borrowing capacity, and expired on July 16, 2024. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months from the date of filing. 

 

The business of Firefly 2023 had negative cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed August 14, 2024. Further, Firefly 2023 has had recurring losses with minimal revenue from operations. While the Company is attempting to raise funds for commercialization, Firefly 2023's monthly cash requirements during the six months ended June 30, 2024 had been met through issuance of shares to new and existing shareholders. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in normal course of business. To strengthen the Company’s liquidity in the foreseeable future, the Company has taken the following measures:

 

 

(i)

Negotiating further funding with existing and new investors to raise additional capital;

 

 

(ii)

Taking various cost control measures to reduce the operational cash burn; and

 

 

(iii)

Commercializing product to generate recurring sales.

 

Management of the Company has a reasonable expectation that the Company can continue raising additional equity capital to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The propriety of using the going-concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, the achievement of future profitable operations, the ability to generate sufficient cash from operations and potential other funding sources, in addition to cash on-hand, to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Reverse Stock Splits

 

On August 12, 2024, in connection with the Merger, the Company effected the Merger Reverse Stock Split. The Merger Reverse Stock Split affected all issued common stock and options and warrants to acquire common stock. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse split and any fractional share otherwise issuable were rounded up to the nearest whole number. All shares and per share amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Merger Reverse Stock Split. Following the Merger Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock decreased from 2,180,485 issued and 2,013,180 outstanding pre-split shares, respectively, to approximately 729,829 issued and 671,060 outstanding post-split shares, before finalizing the rounding of fractional shares. As a result of the Merger Reverse Stock Split, the exercise prices of the outstanding options and warrants were increased by a factor of three. 

 

Certain amounts presented in the 2023 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including common stock, additional paid-in capital, and shares and per share data have been retroactively adjusted for the Merger Reverse Stock Split and the Reverse Stock Split to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.

 

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair and not misleading presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 20, 2024 (the “Annual Report”), as amended. The accompanying December 31, 2023, condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, include the accounts of WaveDancer and its condensed consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “we” or “our”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of June 30, 2024, as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Company's Annual Report.

 

Equity Method Investments [Policy Text Block]

Equity Method Investments

 

The Company has accounted for investments in which it owns between 20% to 50% of the common stock or has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee using the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323 - Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323”). Under the equity method, an investor initially records an investment in the stock of an investee at cost and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment to recognize the investor’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Company reflects its share of gains and losses from the investment in equity in net loss of affiliate in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations using the most recently available earnings data at the end of the period.

 

In connection with the sale of GMI to GMDC on March 17, 2023 (the "Sale Date"), the Company received common stock in GMDC representing approximately 24.9% of the equity of GMDC. See Note 2 for further information about the sale transaction, the deconsolidation of GMI, and the treatment of GMI as a discontinued operation. The Company accounted for its investment in GMDC in accordance with the equity method from March 17, 2023, through August 9, 2023. On August 9, 2023, the Company sold its remaining equity interest in GMDC in exchange for $400,000 in cash and recognized a gain on sale of $64,525. Since August 9, 2023, the Company has no equity investment in GMDC nor any other equity exposure to the GMI business.

 

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

 

Preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates due to uncertainties. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the allowance for credit losses; fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets, and goodwill, including the underlying estimates of cash flows of our products and reporting unit; useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment; the valuation of stock-based compensation, and the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on assumptions, both historical and forward looking, that are believed to be reasonable, and the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
