NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
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 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.
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 for all periods presented. 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.
Prior to March 17, 2023, we had two operating segments: Tellenger and Blockchain SCM. Given the classification of GMI, which comprised all of the material operations of the Blockchain SCM segment, as a discontinued operation (see Note 2), the Company now manages its business as one reportable operating segment.
Liquidity and Going Concern
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company generated a loss from continuing operations of $1,013,959. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had working capital of only $97,217, including cash and cash equivalents of $814,722 and excluding deferred acquisition consideration payable of $1,435,576 (See Note 12), and had an accumulated deficit of $32,540,753. We estimate that by the end of 2023 the Company will need to raise additional capital to meet its ongoing operating cash flow requirements as well as to grow its business either organically or through acquisitions. The Company is evaluating strategic alternatives which include the potential merger or sale of the Company. There is no assurance that such activities will result in any transactions or provide additional capital, which creates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date that the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
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.
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, 2022 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on April 17, 2023 (the “Annual Report”), as amended. The accompanying December 31, 2022 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.
WaveDancer, Inc. | Form 10-Q March 31, 2023 |
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 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.
Other than as discussed in “Equity Method Investments” below, there have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of March 31, 2023, 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
The Company accounts 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. The Company accounts for its investment in GMDC in accordance with the equity method. For the period from March 18 through March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $23,872 as its share of GMDC’s net loss. The Company expects to maintain its investment in GMDC until GMDC’s controlling shareholders determine it is in their best interest to monetize their investment, which we expect may be three to five years. See Note 2 for further information about the sale transaction, the deconsolidation of GMI, and the treatment of GMI as a discontinued operation.
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.
Concentration of Credit Risk
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company’s prime contracts with U.S. government agencies represented 8.9% of revenue, subcontracts under federal procurements represented 87.7% of revenue, and 3.4% 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 31.0%, 24.0%, and 13.9% of revenue, respectively. Revenue from one prime contractor under which the Company has multiple subcontracts represented 50.9% of the Company’s revenue in aggregate.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s prime contracts with U.S. government agencies represented 34.3% of revenue and subcontracts under federal procurements represented 65.1% of revenue. The terms of these contracts and subcontracts vary from single transactions to five years. One prime contract represented 27.9% of revenue, and three subcontracts under federal procurements represented 26.9%, 16.0%, and 11.0% of revenue, respectively. Revenue from one prime contractor under which the Company has multiple subcontracts represented 37.9% of the Company’s revenue in aggregate.
The Company sold third-party software and maintenance contracts under agreements with one major supplier, accounting for 2.6% and 30.5% of total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s accounts receivable included receivables from three subcontracts under federal procurements that represented 41.0%, 12.0%, and 12.5% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable, respectively. Receivables from one prime contractor under which the Company has multiple subcontracts represented 61.7% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable in aggregate.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s accounts receivable included receivables from three subcontracts under federal procurements that represented 48.2%, 19.7%, and 10.3% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable, respectively. Receivables from one prime contractor under which the Company has multiple subcontracts represented 67.9% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable in aggregate.

Note 2. | Sale and Deconsolidation of GMI and Discontinued Operations |
On March 17, 2023, the Company entered into and closed a Stock Purchase Agreement with GMDC, a company newly formed by StealthPoint LLC, a San Francisco based venture fund, under which the Company sold all of the shares of its subsidiary, Gray Matters, Inc. In exchange for this sale, the Company received common shares of GMDC representing on a primary share basis, assuming the conversion of the Series A preferred stock referenced below, 24.9% interest in the purchaser, cash consideration of $935,974 and contingent annual payments equal to five percent (5%) of the purchaser’s GAAP based revenue through December 31, 2029 attributable to the purchaser’s blockchain-enabled digital supply chain management platform and associated technologies. Payments will be calculated for each calendar year and are due by March 31 of the following year. GMDC also agreed to pay the Company approximately $133,148 for certain of GMI’s operating expenses for the period beginning March 1, 2023 through March 17, 2023. The receivable for this payment is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023.
The equity interest StealthPoint and other GMDC investors received is in the form of Series A non-participating convertible preferred stock having a one-times (1x) liquidation preference and no cumulative dividends. In addition, the Company and GMDC entered into a transition services agreement whereby the Company continues to provide certain administrative services for GMI. The value of these services is estimated to be $65,000 which was paid by GMDC at closing and is not subject to adjustment. The $65,000 prepayment is included in other accrued liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 and will be amortized as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses ratably over the three-month period ending June 30, 2023 after which time we anticipate that no further transition services will be provided. The total cash received at closing was $1,000,974. The Company also has the right to appoint a representative to GMDC’s board of directors and a right to co-invest in the anticipated Series B preferred stock financing round which GMDC intends to consummate in the future.
The components of the consideration received and the methods for determining their fair values are as follows:
Consideration | | Amount | | Description and Valuation Methodology |
Cash at closing | | $ | 935,974 | | Cash received at closing less estimated value of transition services to be provided. |
Cash after closing | | | 133,148 | | Actual cash operating expenses of GMI from March 1 through March 17, 2023 (prior to the transfer of GMI to GMDC) |
GMDC common stock | | | 581,000 | | Based on Series A preferred stock issuance to other GMDC investors for $3,000,000 in cash and application of an option pricing model backsolve method and a minority interest discount to estimate the fair value of the common shares of GMDC. |
Contingent payments | | | 682,000 | | Estimated by applying a discount rate of 40.8% to the projected cash receipts expected over the 7-year horizon. (See Note 5) |
Total consideration | | $ | 2,332,122 | | |
The GMDC common stock is accounted for as an equity method investment (see Note 1). The contingent consideration receivable will be remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with adjustments reported in the consolidated statement of operations until the receivable is settled.
The Company recognized a gain on the sale of GMI of $100,615, which is included in net loss on discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, and immediately deconsolidated GMI upon its sale. GMDC was not a related party of the Company at the time of its purchase of GMI. Subsequent to our deconsolidation of GMI, GMI and GMDC are related parties of the Company due to our equity interest in GMDC.

Note 3. | Revenue from Contracts with Customers |
Nature of Products and Services
We generate revenue from the sales of information technology professional services, sales of third-party software licenses and implementation and training services, sales of third-party support and maintenance contracts based on those software products, and incentive payments received from third-party software suppliers for facilitating sales directly between that supplier and a customer introduced by the Company. We sell through our direct relationships with end customers and under subcontractor arrangements.
WaveDancer, Inc. | Form 10-Q March 31, 2023 |
Professional services are offered through several arrangements – through time and materials arrangements, fixed-price-per-unit arrangements, fixed-price arrangements, or combinations of these arrangements within individual contracts. Revenue under time and materials arrangements is recognized over time in the period the hours are worked or the expenses are incurred, as control of the benefits of the work is deemed to have passed to the customer as the work is performed. Revenue under fixed-price-per-unit arrangements is recognized at a point in time when delivery of units has occurred and units are accepted by the customer or are reasonably expected to be accepted. Generally, revenue under fixed-price arrangements and mixed arrangements is recognized either over time or at a point in time based on the allocation of transaction pricing to each identified performance obligation as control of each is transferred to the customer. For fixed-price arrangements under which documentary evidence of acceptance or receipt of deliverables is not present or withheld by the customer, the Company recognizes revenue when it has the right to invoice the customer. For fixed-price arrangements for which the Company is paid a fixed fee to make itself available to support a customer, with no predetermined deliverables to which transaction prices can be estimated or allocated, revenue is recognized ratably over time.
Third-party software licenses are classified as enterprise server-based software licenses or desktop software licenses, and desktop licenses are further classified by the type of customer and whether the licenses are bulk licenses or individual licenses. The Company’s obligations as the seller for each class differ based on its reseller agreements and whether its customers are government or non-government customers. Revenue from enterprise server-based sales to either government or non-government customers is usually recognized in full at a point in time based on when the customer gains use of the full benefit of the licenses, after the licenses are implemented. If the transaction prices of the performance obligations related to implementation and customer support for the individual contract is material, these obligations are recognized separately over time, as performed. Revenue for desktop software licenses for government customers is usually recognized on a gross basis at a point in time, based on when the customer’s administrative contact gains training in and beneficial use of the administrative portal. Revenue for bulk desktop software licenses for non-government customers is usually recognized on a gross basis at a point in time, based on when the customer’s administrative contact gains training in and beneficial use of the administrative portal. For desktop software licenses sold on an individual license basis to non-government customers, where the Company has no obligation to the customer after the third-party makes delivery of the licenses, the Company has determined it is acting as an agent, and the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of the licenses only for the net of the selling price and its contract costs.
Third-party support and maintenance contracts for enterprise server-based software include a performance obligation under the Company’s reseller agreements for it to be the first line of support (direct support) and second line of support (intermediary between customer and manufacturer) to the customer. Because of the support performance obligations, and because the amount of support is not estimable, the Company recognizes revenue ratably over time as it makes itself available to provide the support.
Incentive payments are received under reseller agreements with software manufacturers and suppliers where the Company introduces and courts a customer, but the sale occurs directly between the customer and the supplier or between the customer and the manufacturer. Since the transfer of control of the licenses cannot be measured from outside of these transactions, revenue is recognized when payment from the manufacturer or supplier is received.

Contract Balances
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the billable amount where the Company has the unconditional right to bill, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of accounts. Management regularly reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts by considering the age of each outstanding invoice, each customer's expected ability to pay and collection history, when applicable, to determine whether a specific allowance is appropriate. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. There were no such allowances recognized as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Accounts receivable as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, consist of the following:
| | March 31, 2023 | | | December 31, 2022 | |
Billed federal government | | $ | 1,578,443 | | | $ | 1,573,407 | |
Billed commercial | | | 55,529 | | | | 56,152 | |
Unbilled receivables | | | - | | | | - | |
Accounts receivable | | $ | 1,633,972 | | | $ | 1,629,559 | |
Billed receivables from the federal government include amounts due from both prime contracts and subcontracts where the federal government is the end customer.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities consist of amounts that have been invoiced and for which the Company has the right to bill, but that have not been recognized as revenue because the related goods or services have not been transferred. Changes in contracts liabilities balances in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, are as follows:
Balance as of December 31, 2022 | | $ | 182,756 | |
Contract liabilities added | | | - | |

Contract liabilities added | | | 19,280 | |
Revenue recognized | | | (56,423 | ) |
Balance as of March 31, 2022 | | $ | 149,692 | |
Revenues recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, from the balances as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, were $55,665 and $48,708, respectively.
Deferred Costs of Revenue
Deferred costs of revenue consist of the costs of third-party support and maintenance contracts for enterprise server-based software. These costs are reported under the prepaid expenses and other current assets caption on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes these direct costs ratably over time as it makes itself available to provide its performance obligation for software support, commensurate with its recognition of revenue. As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 the Company $0 of deferred costs of revenue. Changes in deferred costs of revenue balances for the three months ended March 31, 2022, are as follows:
Balance as of December 31, 2021 | | $ | 154,218 | |
Deferred costs added | | | 2,800 | |

WaveDancer, Inc. | Form 10-Q March 31, 2023 | |
The Company has two significant operating leases, one for its headquarters offices in Fairfax, Virginia and one for additional office space in Annapolis, Maryland. The leases both commenced in 2021 and have original lease terms ranging from 37 to 67 months and rental rates escalate by approximately 2.5% annually under both leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company does not have any sales-type or direct financing leases.
Each of the Company’s operating lease assets represent its right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the related lease liability represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement dates in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements include rental payments escalating annually for inflation at a fixed rate. These payments are included in the initial measurement of the operating lease liabilities and operating lease assets. The Company does not have any rental payments which are based on a change in an index or a rate that can be considered variable lease payments, which would be expensed as incurred.
The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.
The Company does not sublease any real estate to third parties.
As of March 31, 2023, our two operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 32 months and a weighted average discount rate of 5.0%. Future lease payments under operating leases as of March 31, 2023, were as follows:
Remainder of 2023 | | $ | 172,223 | |
2024 | | | 174,721 | |

Total lease payments | | | 491,968 | |
Less: discount | | | (35,152 | ) |
Present value of lease liabilities | | $ | 456,816 | |
The total expense incurred related to its operating leases was $38,053 and $56,414 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Note 5. | Fair Value Measurements |
The Company defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:
| • | Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and |
| • | Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |

As discussed in Note 2 above, in connection with its sale of GMI, the Company received contingent consideration that requires to GMDC to make annual payments equal to five percent (5%) of the purchaser’s GAAP based revenue through December 31, 2029, up to a cumulative maximum of $4,000,000, attributable to the purchaser’s blockchain-enabled digital supply chain management platform and associated technologies. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated based on GMDC’s forecast of revenue, the estimated after-tax payments to the Company, and the present value of the after-tax payments based on discount rate that reflects the risk of achieving the timing and amount of forecasted payments. The significant inputs utilized in estimating the fair value of contingent consideration include the forecast of revenues, the income tax rate of 27.0 percent, and the discount rate of 40.75 percent.
The following table is a roll-forward of the Level 3 fair value measurements.

Note 7. | Stock-Based Compensation |
We have three stock-based compensation plans. The 2006 Stock Incentive Plan was adopted in 2006 (“2006 Plan”) and had options granted under it through April 12, 2016. The 2016 Stock Incentive Plan was adopted in 2016 (“2016 Plan”) and had options granted under it through November 15, 2021. On October 11, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”) and on December 2, 2021, our shareholders approved the 2021 Plan.

The Company recognizes compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the service period of the awards. There were no option awards granted in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Fair values of option awards granted in the three months ended March 31, 2022, were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model under the following assumptions:
| | 2022 | |
Risk-free interest rate | | 1.91% | - | 2.41% | |
Dividend yield | | | 0% | | |
Expected term (years) | | 5.75 | - | 6.00 | |
Expected volatility | | 45.8% | - | 46.1% | |
Determining the assumptions for the expected term and volatility requires management to exercise significant judgment. The expected term represents the weighted-average period that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules. Since the Company does not have an extended history of actual exercises, the Company has estimated the expected term using a simplified method which calculates the expected term as the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the awards. Given the limited public market for the Company’s stock, the Company has elected to estimate its expected volatility by benchmarking its volatility to that of several public company issuers that operate within its market segment. The guideline companies’ volatility was increased by a size adjustment premium of 30% to compensate for the difference in size between the guideline companies and the Company in its calculation.
There were 912,000 options with grant date fair values totaling $2,074,670 granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022. There were 20,000 and 105,000 options and no options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, there was $846,860 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the stock incentive plans; that cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 16 months.
Total compensation expense related to these plans was $288,172 and $229,966 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Note 8. | Revolving Line of Credit and Notes Payable |
Summit Line of Credit
On September 30, 2022, the Company entered a revolving line of credit with Summit Community Bank (“Summit”) that provided for on-demand or short-term borrowings of up to $1,000,000 at a variable interest rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, with a minimum rate of 3.99% and a maximum rate of 20.00%, and subject to a borrowing base calculated using outstanding accounts receivable. Borrowings under the line of credit are secured by the assets of the Company. As of March 31, 2023, there was $1,000,000 outstanding under this line of credit and there were borrowings of $575,000 and no repayments during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, there is no borrowing availability under this line of credit. The line of credit expired on May 16, 2023, and the Company is in discussions with Summit to further extend the line of credit.
Premium Financing Note Payable
The Company entered into a Premium Finance Agreement (“Premium Agreement”) on March 7, 2023, to purchase a one-year term directors and officers insurance policy. The Premium Agreement is for $305,759 at a fixed rate of 8.75% per annum, amortized over ten months. The Premium Agreement requires ten fixed monthly principal and interest payments of $31,815 from March 24, 2023, to December 24, 2023.
Note 9. | Sales of Shares Under Common Stock Purchase Agreement |
On July 8, 2022, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (“B. Riley”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain limitations and conditions, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to B. Riley up to $15,000,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), from time to time. Sales of Common Stock to B. Riley under the Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any such sales, are solely at the Company’s option, and the Company is under no obligation to sell any securities to B. Riley under the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) the resale by B. Riley of up to 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue or elect, in the Company’s sole discretion, to issue and sell to B. Riley, from time to time under the Purchase Agreement.
On August 11, 2022 and November 10, 2022, the Company issued to B. Riley 89,835 and 29,945 shares, respectively, as a commitment fee in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. The total value of the commitment fee shares was $150,000 and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. The commitment fee represents prepaid stock issuance cost and is being amortized to additional paid in capital as shares are sold under the Purchase Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company amortized $15,822 of the commitment fee.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company sold 74,286 shares of common stock to B. Riley at an average price of $0.72 per share, net of fees of approximately $0.04 per share. The net proceeds from these sales were $53,453.

During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate was 0%. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, are primarily driven by the presence of a full valuation allowance in all taxing jurisdictions.

Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, except for periods when the Company reports a net loss because the inclusion of such items would be antidilutive. The antidilutive effect of 345,987 shares from stock options were excluded from diluted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The antidilutive effect of 778,196 shares from stock options and 530,435 shares from warrants were excluded from diluted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Settlement of Litigation
On April 28, 2023, WaveDancer, Inc. (the “Company”) and Jeffrey Gerald, the individual from whom the Company purchased all the outstanding shares of Gray Matters, Inc. (“GMI”), executed an agreement to settle pending litigation between them (the “Settlement Agreement”). On January 25, 2023, Gerald, as the result of the termination of his employment, filed a lawsuit against the Company for one year’s severance of $150,000 and benefits to which he claimed he was entitled under his employment agreement with the Company. He had also claimed an anticipatory breach of the payment of $1,500,000 of deferred consideration otherwise due him on December 10, 2023, under the Stock Purchase Agreement between him and the Company and an anticipatory breach to release from escrow 436,481 shares of the Company’s common stock which are held in escrow for application against potential indemnity claims under the Stock Purchase Agreement.
The Company filed an answer denying Gerald’s claims. In addition, the Company filed a counterclaim seeking damages from Gerald associated with the acquisition transaction and arising under the Stock Purchase Agreement.
The principal terms of the Settlement Agreement are:
| (a) | All amounts due to Gerald related to the GMI acquisition, including the $1,500,000 of deferred consideration, are deemed satisfied and such obligations are extinguished; |
| (b) | The Company will release from escrow 436,481 shares of the Company’s common stock 90 days after the date of the Settlement Agreement; |
| (c) | The Company will pay Gerald $25,000 as reimbursement for legal costs; and, |
| (d) | Gerald and the Company agreed to mutual general releases of one another. |
As a result of the settlement, the Company estimates that in the second quarter of 2023 it will recognize a gain on extinguishment of debt, net of expenses, of $1,410,576.
