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
Prior to March 17, 2023, we had 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 ). After March 17, 2023, the Company manages its business as reportable operating segment.
Liquidity and Going Concern
During the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2023
, the Company generated an operating loss from continuing operations of $
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 Split
On
October 18, 2023,
the Company effected a reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $
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 September 30, 2023 |
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 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
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.

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 September 30, 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

Note 4. Leases
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
As of September 30, 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
September 30, 2023
, our
two
operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of

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. |
The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 :

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.

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

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements regarding our business, customer prospects, or other factors that may affect future earnings or financial results that are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to vary materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Investors should read and understand the risk factors detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (“Annual Report”) and in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control. This list highlights some of the risks which may affect future operating results. These are the risks and uncertainties we believe are most important for you to consider. Additional risks and uncertainties, not presently known to us, which we currently deem immaterial, or which are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in general, may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results would likely suffer. These risks include, among others, the following:
|
● |
We have had operating losses in three of each of the last four years and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future. |
|
● |
A portion of our revenue is expected to be generated by sales to government entities, which are subject to a number of challenges and risks. |
|
● |
We face intense competition and could lose market share to our competitors, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. |
|
● |
We rely on our management team and other key employees and will need additional personnel to grow our business, and the loss of one or more key employees or our inability to hire, integrate, train and retain qualified personnel, including members for our board of directors, could harm our business. |
|
● |
We are dependent on a few key customer contracts for a significant portion of our future revenue, and a significant reduction in services to one or more of these contracts would reduce our future revenue and harm our anticipated operating results. |
|
● |
We are dependent on information technology, and disruptions, failures or security breaches of our information technology infrastructure could have a material adverse effect on our operations. |
|
● |
We depend on computing infrastructure operated by Microsoft and other third parties to support some of our solutions and customers, and any errors, disruption, performance problems, or failure in their or our operational infrastructure could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. |
|
● |
Failure to comply with governmental laws and regulations could harm our business. |
|
● |
We are subject to risks associated with our strategic investments, and impairments in the value of our investments could negatively impact our financial results. |
|
● |
Our failure to raise additional capital or generate the significant capital necessary to expand our operations and invest in new products and subscriptions could reduce our ability to compete and could harm our business. |
|
● |
The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention, and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members. |
|
● |
If we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand and our reputation as a provider of high-quality security solutions and services, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. |

Our Business
Founded in 1979 as Information Analysis Incorporated, the Company changed its name to WaveDancer, Inc. 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”). The Company’s retained interest in GMI of 24.9% was initially accounted for as an equity method investment. 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 this Item 2 relate to the Company’s continuing operations. See Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 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 24.9% interest in GMI to GMDC. 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. As of September 30, 2023 the Company has no equity method investment in GMDC and any other equity exposure to the GMI business.
The Company is an IT provider primarily for the benefit of federal government agencies. At present, we primarily apply our technology, services and experience to legacy software migration and modernization, developing web-based and mobile device solutions, including dynamic electronic forms development and conversion, data analytics, and we are in the process of acquiring talent and expertise in developing cybersecurity and cloud services practices. Our focus is on enterprise IT solutions primarily relating to system modernization, cloud-based solutions and cybersecurity protection.
Since the Company’s inception, we have performed software development and conversion projects for over 100 commercial and government customers including, but not limited to, the Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, Department of Education, Department of Homeland Security, Department of the Treasury, U.S. Small Business Administration, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, Department of Veterans Affairs, and General Dynamics Information Technology (formerly Computer Sciences Corporation, CSRA).
Modernization has been a core competency of the Company for over 20 years. We have modernized over 100 million lines of COBOL code for over 35 governmental and commercial customers. We maintain a pool of skilled COBOL programmers. This provides us with a competitive advantage as the labor pool of such programmers is shrinking as aging software professionals retire. Our business has also historically relied upon the reselling of applications, primarily for forms development.
Through our acquisition in April 2021 of Tellenger, Inc. (“Tellenger”), which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, we acquired competencies in web-based solutions and cybersecurity. Tellenger is a boutique IT consulting and software development firm specializing in modernization, software development, cybersecurity, cloud solutions, and data analytics. We believe combining web-based solutions with system modernization will provide us with the skill sets that are needed to migrate legacy systems to the cloud. We foresee this as a key component of our modernization growth since there are billions of lines of code, in both the governmental and commercial sectors, that eventually must be modernized. It is also our intention to better leverage our resources, largely gained through the acquisition of Tellenger, to take advantage of the growth in the cybersecurity market.
In December 2021, we announced the reorganization of our entire professional services practice into Tellenger, and as a result, our professional services are contained in a single entity. Through Tellenger, we perform services such as business process re-engineering, cloud migrations, and Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) implementations on behalf of clients in the private and public sector with an aim to increase productivity, gain efficiencies, and achieve key performance indicators.

WaveDancer, Inc. |
Form 10-Q September 30, 2023 |
Our Strategy
Our strategy is to grow our business organically as well as through acquisitions. Through the acquisition of Tellenger, Inc. in 2021, we began to reposition our legacy professional services business by allocating resources away from third-party product reselling and toward professional services, which management viewed as higher margin. To grow organically, we are focused on bidding as a prime contractor on government proposals and in expanding our outreach to larger prime contractors for subcontract and teaming opportunities.
As discussed below under ‘Liquidity and Capital Resources’, the Company will need to raise additional capital to grow its business either organically or through acquisition. We are actively pursuing strategic alternatives which include the potential merger or sale of the Company. Any such transaction, if consummated, could fundamentally alter the Company’s business.
Results of Continuing Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Revenue
Total revenue was $1,967,277 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with $2,306,379 in the prior year quarter, a decrease of $339,102, or 14.7%. The decrease in revenue was driven by our de-emphasis of third-party software sales which accounted for just 2.3% of our sales in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to 8.3% in the prior year quarter. Professional services revenue decreased by $192,712, or 9.1%, to $1,921,300 in the third quarter of 2023 from $2,114,012 in the third quarter of 2022. The decline in professional services revenue is driven primarily by one software modernization project where we had fewer resources deployed in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the comparable prior year quarter based on current project deliverables.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased by $88,784 or 12.0%, to $649,812 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $738,596 in the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross profit includes an increase from professional services of $5,533 and a decrease from third-party software sales of $94,317. Professional services gross profit as a percent of revenue declined from 37.5% to 35.8% due to a change in the mix of contracts generating revenue and the related billing rates resulting as well as increases in our costs of labor that outpaced billing rate increases.

The decrease in the operating loss from continuing operations is primarily the result of the decrease in SG&A expenses of $702,057, as shown above, partially offset by the decrease in gross profit of $88,784.

Results of Continuing Operations – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
Revenue
Total revenue was $6,152,022 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with $9,052,411 in the corresponding prior year period, a decrease of $2,900,389, or 32.0%. The decrease in revenue was driven primarily by our de-emphasis of third-party software sales which accounted for just 2.6% of our sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to 28.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Professional services revenue decreased by $465,819 to $5,992,715 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, from $6,458,534 in the corresponding nine months of 2022. The decline in professional services revenue arose after the first quarter and is driven primarily by one software modernization project where we had fewer resources deployed in the second and third quarters of 2023 as compared to the comparable prior year quarters based on current project deliverables.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased by $327,284 or 14.0%, to $2,011,623 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $2,338,907 in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit includes a decrease from professional services of $161,513 and from third-party software sales of $165,771. Professional services gross profit as a percent of revenue declined slightly from 33.7% to 33.6% due primary to changes in the mix of contracts generating revenue and the related billing rates.

Operating Loss from Continuing Operations
Our operating loss from continuing operations was $978,459 for nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $4,406,450 for the comparable prior year period, a decrease in the loss of $3,427,991 or 77.8%. The decrease in the operating loss from continuing operations is primarily the result of the gain on litigation settlement of $1,442,468 along with the decrease in SG&A expenses of $2,312,807, as shown above, partially offset by the decrease in gross profit of $327,284.
Results of Discontinued Operations – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
The sale of GMI to GMDC occurred on March 17, 2023, and as a result we had approximately two fewer weeks of costs and expenses for GMI for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022, and no activity for the second and third quarters of 2023 as compared to full activity during the second and third quarters of 2022, as follows:

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 of our consolidated financial statements – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies . Our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected.
|
WaveDancer, Inc. |
Form 10-Q September 30, 2023 |
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to the critical accounting estimates discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 except for two new fair value measures for the first quarter of 2023:
1) the determination of the fair value of the contingent consideration receivable from GMDC, as discussed in Notes 2 and 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and
2) the determination of the initial fair value of our equity method investment in GMDC as of March 17, 2023.
The determination of the fair value of the contingent consideration is a recurring fair value measure at the end of each reporting period and includes significant judgmental inputs not observable in the market. Significant judgment was employed in determining the assumptions used in the determination of fair value as of March 31, 2023 and, accordingly, changes in assumptions could have a material impact on the increase or decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration recorded in any given period.
Equity Method Investment in GMDC
The Company received 993,768 common shares of GMDC representing 19.0 percent of the fully diluted capitalization. Prior to closing the acquisition on March 17 and through March 31, 2023, GMDC raised $3,000,000 by issuing Series A preferred shares at $1.00 per share representing 57.2 percent of the fully diluted capitalization. The Series A transaction was considered by the Company to be the most reliable indication of the fair value of total equity of GMDC. We utilized an option pricing model backsolve method (“OPM Backsolve”) to solve for the total equity value that results in a value of Series A equal to its issuance price, and to estimate the fair value of common shares. The significant inputs utilized in the OPM Backsolve include an estimated time to exit of four years, an estimated volatility of 75.0 percent, and a risk-free rate of 4.29 percent. A minority interest discount of 23.5% was also applied.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On September 30, 2023, the Company had a net working capital of $537,375, including cash and cash equivalents of $877,198 and $500,000 outstanding under its line of credit with Summit bank. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we generated a net loss from continuing operations of $929,106. As discussed below, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations for the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements is dependent upon factors which are sufficiently outside of management’s control. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company will need to raise additional capital to grow its business either organically or through acquisition. The Company is also pursuing strategic alternatives which include the potential merger or sale of the Company. There is no assurance that our efforts 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 financial statements are issued. We estimate that within twelve months from the date of issuing these financial statements, the Company will need to raise additional capital to meet its ongoing operating cash flow requirements.
We used cash from continuing operations of $2,020,330 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and anticipate 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.
On August 9, 2023, the Company received $1,400,000 of cash from GMDC from: 1) the sale of the common stock of GMDC held by the Company; and, 2) in satisfaction of the contingent consideration receivable due from GMDC to the Company. On August 9, 2023, the Company repaid $500,000 on the Summit line of credit and has no further borrowing capacity thereunder. The line of credit expires on January 16, 2024. The Company has no commitments for capital spending nor any plans for material capital expenditures.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and people performing similar functions, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2023 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no control system can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of a person, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected. Notwithstanding these limitations, we believe that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.
