−Removed: We are a technology company
−Removed: that is reinventing how consumers engage with audio through the development of a proprietary AI platform for audio and innovative technologies
−Removed: for podcasts.
−Removed: We are leveraging these technologies to bring to market two industry first Apps, Faidr and Vodacast.
−Removed: The Faidr app gives consumers
−Removed: the opportunity to listen to any AM/FM radio station with no commercials while personalizing the listening experience through skips, the
−Removed: insertion of on-demand content and the programming of audio routines to customize listening sessions such as a daily commute.
−Removed: App represents the first-time consumers can access the local content uniquely provided by radio in the commercial free and personalized
−Removed: manner many consumers have come to demand for media consumption.
−Removed: We look to bring to market
−Removed: a premium AM/FM radio listening experience through Faidr.
−Removed: The Faidr App is intended to be downloaded by consumers who will pay a subscription
−Removed: fee to listen to any streaming AM/FM radio station without commercials.
−Removed: Advanced features will allow consumers to skip any content heard
−Removed: on the station, request audio content on-demand, and program an audio routine.
−Removed: We believe Faidr represents a significant differentiated
−Removed: audio streaming product that will be the first to come to market since the emergence of popular streaming music apps such as Pandora,
−Removed: Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, etc.
−Removed: We believe that the most significant point of differentiation is that in addition to music, Faidr
−Removed: is intended to deliver non-music content that includes local sports, news, weather, traffic and the discovery of new music.
−Removed: dominant audio platform for local content and new music discovery.
−Removed: We recently launched
−Removed: the Faidr App to include all major U.S.
−Removed: radio stations on February 15, 2022 and launched marketing campaigns for Faidr to build an audience
−Removed: and demonstrate consumer interest.
−Removed: We are currently providing consumers a free trial of the App and started trialing subscriptions with
−Removed: a subset of consumers in late second quarter.
−Removed: In addition, we are continuing to enhance the listening experience for consumers by:
−Removed: advancing the training of our proprietary AI technology primarily around talk stations and talk segments on music stations;
−Removed: improvements to the user interface and consumer interaction within the App;
−Removed: and 3) exploring additional content choices, including podcasting,
−Removed: some of which will become available in the App during the year.
−Removed: We expect to continue to understand consumer interest for subscription
−Removed: during the third quarter.
−Removed: The Faidr mobile App
−Removed: is available today through the iOS and Android App stores.
−Removed: We also have developed
−Removed: a podcasting platform called Vodacast.
−Removed: Vodacast provides a unique suite of tools that helps Podcasters create additional digital content
−Removed: for their podcast episodes as well as plan their episodes, build their brand around their Podcast and monetize their content with new
−Removed: monetization channels.
−Removed: One innovative and proprietary part of the Vodacast platform is the availability of tools to create and distribute
−Removed: an interactive digital feed which supplements podcast episode audio with additional digital content.
−Removed: These content feeds allow podcasters
−Removed: to tell deeper stories to their listeners while giving podcasters access to digital revenue for the first time.
−Removed: Podcasters will be able
−Removed: to build these interactive feeds using The Vodacast Hub, a content management system that also serves as a tool to plan and manage podcast
−Removed: The digital feed activates a new digital ad channel that turns every audio ad into a direct-response digital ad, increasing
−Removed: the effectiveness and value of their established audio ad model.
−Removed: The feed also presents a richer listening experience, as any element
−Removed: of a podcast episode can be supplemented with images, videos, text and web links.
−Removed: This feed appears fully synchronized in the Vodacast
−Removed: mobile App, and it also can be hosted and accessed independently (e.g., through any browser), making the content feed universally distributable.
−Removed: Vodacast will also introduce
−Removed: a unique and industry first multi-channel, highly flexible set of revenue channels that podcasters can activate in combination to allow
−Removed: listeners to choose how they want to consume and pay for content.
−Removed: “Flex Revenue” allows podcasters to continue to run their
−Removed: standard audio ad model and complement those ads with direct response enabled digital ads in each episode content feed, increasing the
−Removed: value of advertising on any podcast.
−Removed: “Flex Revenue” will also activate subscriptions, on-demand fees for content (e.g., listen
−Removed: without audio ads for a micro payment fee) and direct donations from listeners.
−Removed: Using these channels in combination, podcasters can maximize
−Removed: revenue generation and exercise higher margin monetization models, beyond basic audio advertising.
−Removed: The Vodacast mobile App
−Removed: is available today through the iOS and Android App stores.
−Removed: We launched marketing campaigns for Vodacast during
−Removed: the second quarter to continue to grow our user base and encourage listeners to download the Vodacast App and listen to all their favorite
−Removed: Because podcasting is the type of audio content that music app users expect to find in their preferred apps and platforms (e.g.
−Removed: TuneIn, iHeart, Audacy, Spotify), we are currently exploring the migration of podcasting and the full suite of tools and features from
−Removed: Vodacast into our Faidr App to provide an all-inclusive and immersive listening experience.
−Removed: During this time, we have paused direct marketing
−Removed: promotion related to the Vodacast App while we explore podcasting into Faidr.
−Removed: We have funded our operations
−Removed: with proceeds from the February 2021 IPO and Series A warrants exercise in July 2021.
−Removed: Since inception we have incurred significant operating
−Removed: As of June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $68.6 million.
−Removed: Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve
−Removed: profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and commercialization of one or more of our Apps.
−Removed: As a part of our capital
−Removed: strategy, we recently implemented certain cost saving initiatives that reduced our quarterly cash spend.
−Removed: This includes certain cost saving
−Removed: initiatives related to our research and development and sales and marketing costs and includes a reduction of headcount and direct promotion
−Removed: of our Apps while we continue to enhance our listening experience.
−Removed: We expect that our expenses and capital requirements will increase
−Removed: again sometime in the future, particularly if and as we:
−Removed: continue training our proprietary AI technology and make additional product enhancements;
−Removed: gain significant consumer interest in our products and increase marketing promotion to drive users to our Apps and convert users to subscribers;
−Removed: identify and license new content that will add value to our products and drive consumer interest;
−Removed: continue market studies of our products;
−Removed: add operational and general administrative personnel which will support our product development programs, commercialization efforts and our transition to operating as a public company.
−Removed: As a result, we will
−Removed: need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy.
−Removed: Until such time as we can generate
−Removed: significant revenue from subscriptions, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity, debt financings or other
−Removed: capital sources, which may include collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions.
−Removed: We may be unable to raise additional
−Removed: funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all.
−Removed: If we fail to raise capital or enter
−Removed: into such agreements as and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization
−Removed: of one or more of our product candidates in addition to the cost saving initiatives we have already made effective.
−Removed: Because of the numerous
−Removed: risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when
−Removed: or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability.
−Removed: Even if we are able to generate product sales, we may not become profitable.
−Removed: If we fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then we may be unable to continue our operations
−Removed: at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate our operations.
−Removed: As of June 30, 2022,
−Removed: we had cash of approximately $2.3 million, which we believe should fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through
−Removed: at least December 31, 2022.
−Removed: We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available
−Removed: capital resources sooner than we expect.
−Removed: See “—Liquidity and capital resources.” To finance our operations beyond that
−Removed: point, we will need to raise additional capital, which cannot be assured.
−Removed: If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts
−Removed: or on terms acceptable to us, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of our
−Removed: Apps or other research and development initiatives.
−Removed: Components of our results of operations
−Removed: Operating expenses
−Removed: Direct costs of services
−Removed: Direct cost of services

−Removed: We expect our direct costs of services to increase in the future as we continue to develop and enhance our technology related
−Removed: to the Faidr and Vodacast Apps.
−Removed: Sales and marketing
−Removed: Our sales and marketing
−Removed: expenses consist primarily of salaries, direct to consumer promotional spend and consulting services, all of which are related to the

−Removed: We expect our sales and marketing expenses to fluctuate period by period as we continue
−Removed: to promote the national commercial launch of our Faidr product and look to generate revenue for our products through customer acquisition,
−Removed: retention and subscription conversion.
−Removed: Research and development
−Removed: Since our inception,
−Removed: we have focused significant resources on our research and development activities related to the software development of our technology.
−Removed: We account for costs incurred in the development of computer software as software research and development costs until the preliminary
−Removed: project stage is completed, management has committed to funding the project, and completion and use of the software for its intended purpose
−Removed: We cease capitalization of development costs once the software has been substantially completed and is available for its
−Removed: intended use.
−Removed: Software development costs are amortized over a useful life estimated by the Company’s management of three years.
−Removed: Costs associated with significant upgrades and enhancements that result in additional functionality are capitalized.
−Removed: Capitalized costs
−Removed: are subject to an ongoing assessment of recoverability based on anticipated future revenues and changes in software technologies.
−Removed: capitalized software development costs determined to be in excess of anticipated future net revenues are impaired and expensed during
−Removed: the period of such determination.
−Removed: We recently implemented
−Removed: certain cost saving initiatives which includes the reduction of a part of our research and development staff.
−Removed: We still expect to continue

−Removed: to develop and enhance our Faidr and Vodacast Apps.

−Removed: Our general and administrative
−Removed: expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs, including payroll taxes, benefits, stock-based compensation, and professional
−Removed: fees related to auditing, tax, general legal services, and consulting services.

−Removed: in the future as we expand our operating activities and prepare for commercialization of our products and support our operations as a

−Removed: Cash used in operating
−Removed: activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $3,133,635, primarily resulting from our net loss of $10,050,019 and changes in

−Removed: Funding Requirements
−Removed: We historically have
−Removed: incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception.
−Removed: As of June 30, 2022, we had cash of $2.3 million.
−Removed: Our cash is comprised primarily of demand deposit accounts and money market funds.
−Removed: We believe our current cash on hand should be sufficient
−Removed: to fund our operations through at least December 31, 2022.
−Removed: We are currently in the process of raising additional short-term funding that,
−Removed: if completed, would extend our current cash availability through the second quarter 2023.
−Removed: We have based these estimates, however, on assumptions
−Removed: that may prove to be wrong, and we could spend our available financial resources much faster than we currently expect and therefore would
−Removed: need to raise longer term funding sooner than we anticipate.
−Removed: If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, we
−Removed: would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our technology development and commercialization efforts.
−Removed: As a part of our funding strategy, we recently
−Removed: implemented cost saving initiatives to ensure our cash on hand will allow us enough time to finalize certain product enhancements and
−Removed: optimize consumer adoption and subscription.
−Removed: We expect these cost saving measures to reduce our quarterly cash burn rate by
−Removed: $500,000 to $700,000 as compared to the second quarter 2022.
−Removed: With the combination of cost saving initiatives and the additional short-term
−Removed: funding we are pursuing, we believe our cash availability will be able to extend through the second quarter 2023.
−Removed: We expect to continue to incur costs associated with operating as a public company, including legal, accounting, investor
−Removed: relations and other expenses.
−Removed: Our future funding requirements and timing will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:
−Removed: the scope, progress, results and costs related to our Faidr App and obtaining market adoption and subscription conversion;
−Removed: the costs, timing and ability to continue to develop our technology;

−Removed: We have elected to not “opt out” of this provision and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards
−Removed: at the time private companies adopt the new or revised accounting standard and will do so until such time that we either (i) irrevocably
−Removed: elect to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualify as an emerging growth company.
−Removed: We are also a “smaller reporting company”
−Removed: meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100
−Removed: million during the most recently completed fiscal year.
−Removed: We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value

−Removed: If we are a smaller reporting
−Removed: company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements
−Removed: that are available to smaller reporting companies.
−Removed: Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two
−Removed: most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies,
−Removed: smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
−Removed: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

−Removed: of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
