Founded in 1979 as Information Analysis Incorporated (“IAI”), IAI changed its name to WaveDancer, Inc. (“WaveDancer”) and converted from a Virginia corporation to a Delaware corporation in December 2021. The Company is 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. With our acquisition of Gray Matters, Inc. in 2021 we expanded our offerings to include licensing and implementation services for proprietary blockchain based Supply Chain Management (“SCM”) software.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding annual financial reporting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WaveDancer, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “we” or “our”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of 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, including the effects of COVID-19. 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; useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment; the valuation of stock based compensation, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities; and contingent 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.

Revenue Recognition

See Note 2 for a detailed description of our revenue recognition policy.

Segment Reporting

The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. We manage our business as a single operating unit and have one reportable segment, providing software products and professional software programming and development services primarily to U.S. government customers.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of ninety days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Deposits are maintained with a federally insured bank. Balances at times exceed federally insured limits, but management does not consider this to be a significant concentration of credit risk.

Accounts Receivable

Our payment terms for accounts receivable vary by the types of our customers and the products or services offered. Typically, we invoice for services on a monthly basis, and we invoice for product sales upon delivery.

We maintain an allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable, which is recorded as an offset to accounts receivable, and changes in such are classified as general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. We assess collectability on an individual customer basis. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, we consider historical collectability based on past due status and make judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. Our allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was immaterial. The accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020 did not include the amount invoiced but withheld from payment as a financing component under one contract with a customer. The present value of the withheld amount was classified as a contract asset.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over the lesser of the useful life or five years, off-the-shelf software is depreciated over the lesser of three years or the term of the license, custom software is depreciated over the least of five years, the useful life, or the term of the license, and computer equipment is depreciated over three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated term of the lease or the estimated life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and minor repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions are recorded in operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had the stock-based compensation plans described in Note 12 below. Total compensation expense related to these plans was $1,868,897 and $27,628 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company estimates the fair value of options granted using a Black-Scholes valuation model to establish the expense. When stock-based compensation is awarded to employees, the expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period. When stock-based compensation is awarded to non-employees, the expense is recognized over the period of performance.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws for the taxable years in which those differences are expected to reverse. In addition, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is believed more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be fully realized. Authoritative guidance prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those positions to be recognized in the financial statements. The Company continually reviews tax laws, regulations and related guidance in order to properly record any uncertain tax liabilities. See Note 10.

(Loss) Income Per Share

The Company’s (loss) income per share calculations are based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The dilutive effect of stock options, warrants, and other equity instruments are included for purposes of calculating diluted income per share, except for periods when the Company reports a net loss, in which case the inclusion of such equity instruments would be antidilutive. See Note 14.

Concentration of Credit Risk

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s prime contracts with U.S. government agencies represented 31.7% of revenue, subcontracts under federal procurements represented 66.4% of revenue, and 1.9% of revenue came from commercial contracts. The terms of these contracts and subcontracts vary from single transactions to five years. Three subcontracts under federal procurements represented 33.2%, 10.0% and 9.6% of revenue, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s prime contracts with U.S. government agencies represented 58.3% of revenue, subcontracts under federal procurements represented 40.6% of revenue, and 1.1% of revenue came from commercial contracts. The terms of these contracts and subcontracts vary from single transactions to five years. Within this group of prime contracts with U.S. government agencies, one individual contract represented 13.9% of revenue. Three subcontracts under federal procurements represented 17.9%, 10.3% and 8.7% of revenue, respectively. One prime contractor under which the Company has multiple subcontracts represented 28.7% of revenue in aggregate.

The Company sold third-party software and maintenance contracts under agreements with one major supplier in 2021 and 2020, accounting for 29.3% and 58.4% of total revenue, respectively.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s accounts receivable included receivables from two subcontracts under federal procurements that represented 52.6% and 19.6% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable, respectively. Receivables from one prime contractor under which the Company has multiple subcontracts represented 72.2% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable in aggregate.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s accounts receivable included receivables from prime contracts with one U.S. government agency that represented 16.4% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable, and receivables from two subcontracts under federal procurements that represented 56.8% and 14.4% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable, respectively. Receivables from one prime contractor under which the Company has multiple subcontracts represented 71.2% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable in aggregate.

Business Combinations

We include the results of operations of the businesses that we acquire as of the acquisition date. We allocate the purchase price of the acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The Company amortizes identifiable intangible assets with finite lives over their respective estimate useful lives. Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment and the Company will periodically reassess the carrying value, useful lives, and classifications of all identifiable intangible assets. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.

Determining fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment, the utilization of independent valuation experts, and involves significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future cash flows, discount rates, market prices, and asset lives, among other items.  The judgments made in the determination of the estimated fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interests in the investee, as well as the estimated useful life of each asset can materially impact the consolidated financial statements in periods after acquisition, such as through depreciation and amortization.

Intangibles and Goodwill

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Goodwill – Intangibles and Other (“ASC 350”). Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are instead tested for impairment (i) on at least an annual basis and (ii) when changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of goodwill may be below its carrying value. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, (i) a significant adverse change in the business climate, (ii) unanticipated competition or (iii) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. The Company performs its annual impairment testing as of October 31. Determining impairment involves estimating the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of (i) the income or discounted cash flows approach and (ii) the market approach that utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss is calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied value of goodwill.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU requires companies to measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 606 on the acquisition date. We early adopted the ASU as of January 1, 2022 and will apply it prospectively to future acquisitions. The impact of this accounting standard will depend on the contract assets and liabilities acquired in future business combinations.

COVID-19 Update

While we have not experienced a significant adverse impact on our business from the pandemic as of December 31, 2021, the extent to which it will impact our business and operations will depend on future developments that are uncertain. We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers, partners, employees and service providers.
