SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or Quarterly Report, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We make such forward-looking statements pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential”, “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance, and are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: · the sufficiency of our existing cash to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over the next 12 months and our need to raise additional capital; · our ability to generate revenue from new software services; · our limited operating history; · our ability to maintain proper and effective internal financial controls; · our ability to continue to operate as a going concern; · changes in laws, government regulations and policies and interpretations thereof; · our ability to obtain and maintain protection for our intellectual property; · the risk of errors, failures or bugs in our platform or products; · our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and key personnel; · our ability to manage our rapid growth and organizational change effectively; · the possibility of security vulnerabilities, cyberattacks and network disruptions, including breaches of data security and privacy leaks, data loss, and business interruptions; · our compliance with data privacy laws and regulations; · our ability to develop and maintain our brand cost-effectively; · our ability to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market; and · the other factors set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited) Note 1 – Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business Auddia Inc., (the “Company”, “Auddia”, “we”, “our”) is a technology company that is reinventing how consumers engage with audio through the development of a proprietary AI platform for audio and innovative technologies for podcasts. The Company is incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Colorado. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Interim Financial Information The condensed financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this Quarterly Report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. The Company recorded all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Reverse Stock Splits On February 27, 2024, the Company effectuated a 1-for-25 reverse stock split . On March 28, 2025, the Company effectuated a 1-for-17 reverse stock split . The reverse stock splits did not change the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock. No fractional shares were issued and any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock splits were rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock splits applied to the Company’s outstanding warrants, stock options and restricted stock units. The number of shares of common stock into which these outstanding securities are convertible or exercisable were adjusted proportionately as a result of the reverse stock splits. The exercise prices of any outstanding warrants or stock options were also proportionately adjusted in accordance with the terms of those securities and the Company’s equity incentive plans. As a result of the reverse stock splits, unless described otherwise, all references to common stock, share data, per share data and related information contained in these financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock splits for all periods presented. In addition, any fractional shares that would otherwise be issued as a result of the reverse stock splits were rounded up to the nearest whole share. Further, the number of shares issuable and exercise prices of stock options and warrants have been retrospectively adjusted in these financial statements for all periods presented to reflect the reverse stock splits. 5 Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The condensed financial statements include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to valuation of capital stock, warrants and options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, and the estimated recoverability and amortization period for capitalized software development costs. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant. Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to various risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of development. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, its limited operating history, competition from other companies, limited access to additional funds, dependence on key personnel, and management of potential rapid growth. To address these risks, the Company must, among other things, develop its customer base; implement and successfully execute its business and marketing strategy; develop follow-on products; provide superior customer service; and attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in addressing these or other such risks. Emerging Growth Company Status The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period to comply with certain new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. Going Concern The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 1,689,913 as of March 31, 2025. The Company will need additional funding to complete the development of the full product line and scale products with a demonstrated market fit. The Company raised an additional $ 0.7 million during the first quarter of 2025, which will only be sufficient into the third quarter of 2025. Management has plans to secure such additional funding. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, the Company will be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate technology development and commercialization efforts. As a result of the Company’s recurring losses from operations, and the need for additional financing to fund its operating and capital requirements, there is uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Management has plans to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as the White Lion equity line of credit (refer to Note 7) and additional future financing agreements. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s current level of cash is not sufficient to execute the business plan. For the foreseeable future, the Company will incur significant operating expenses, capital expenditures and working capital funding that will deplete cash on hand during the third quarter of 2025. 6 Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company had cash on hand of $ 1,687,030 and $ 2,703,392 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash equivalents of $ 2,883 and $ 2,927 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company maintains cash deposits at several financial institutions, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company’s cash balance may at times exceed these limits. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $ 1.2 million in excess of federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $ 2.2 million in excess of federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. Software Development Costs The Company accounts for costs incurred in the development of computer software as software research and development costs until the preliminary project stage is completed, management has committed to funding the project, and completion and use of the software for its intended purpose is probable. The Company ceases capitalization of development costs once the software has been substantially completed and is available for its intended use. Software development costs are amortized over a useful life estimated by the Company’s management of three years. Costs associated with significant upgrades and enhancements that result in additional functionality are capitalized. Capitalized costs are subject to an ongoing assessment of recoverability based on anticipated future revenues and changes in software technologies. Unamortized capitalized software development costs determined to be in excess of anticipated future net revenues are considered impaired and expensed during the period of such determination. The Company determined that no such impairments were required during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Software development costs of $ 236,973 and $ 273,388 were capitalized for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Amortization of capitalized software development costs was $ 431,037 and $ 476,918 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the Company’s condensed statement of operations. Revenue Recognition Revenue will be measured according to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and will be recognized based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and will exclude any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company will recognize revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a service or product to a customer. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps: ( 1) Identify the contract with a client; (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) Recognize revenues when or as the company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company will report revenues net of any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on, and concurrent with, a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer in the accompanying statements of operations. Collected taxes, if applicable, will be recorded within other current liabilities until remitted to the relevant taxing authority. Subscriber revenue will consist primarily of subscription fees and other ancillary subscription-based revenues. Revenue will be recognized on a straight-line basis when the performance obligations to provide each service for the period have been satisfied, which is over time as our subscription services are continuously available and can be consumed by customers at any time. There is no revenue recognized for unpaid trial subscriptions. Customers may pay for the services in advance of the performance obligation and therefore these prepayments will be recorded as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue will be recognized as revenue in the accompanying statements of operations as the services are provided. 7 Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based compensation arrangements with employees, directors, and consultants and recognizes the compensation expense for share-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Compensation expense for all share-based awards is based on the estimated grant-date fair value and recognized in earnings over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The Company records share-based compensation expense related to non-employees over the related service periods. Certain share-based compensation awards include a net-share settlement feature that provides the grantee an option to withhold shares to satisfy tax withholding requirements and are classified as a share-based compensation liability. Cash paid to satisfy tax withholdings is classified as financing activities in the condensed statements of cash flows. Warrants The Company account for warrants as equity-classified instruments, based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Common Stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. Note 2 – Property & Equipment, Intangible Assets, and Software Development Costs Property and equipment and software development costs consisted of the following as of: Schedule of property and equipment and software development costs March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Computers and equipment $ 110,551 $ 110,551 Furniture 11,258 11,258 Accumulated depreciation ( 110,877 ) ( 109,528 ) Total property and equipment, net $ 10,932 $ 12,281 Domain name $ 3,947 $ 3,947 Patents 9,627 – Accumulated amortization ( 553 ) ( 531 ) Total intangible assets, net $ 13,021 $ 3,416 Software development costs $ 8,814,788 $ 8,577,815 Accumulated amortization ( 6,700,622 ) ( 6,269,585 ) Total software development costs, net $ 2,114,166 $ 2,308,230 The Company recognized depreciation expense of $ 1,348 and $ 6,494 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to property and equipment, amortization expense of $ 22 and $ 334 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to intangible assets, and amortization expense of $ 431,037 and $ 476,918 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to software development costs. 8 Note 3 – Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consist of the following: Schedule of accounts payable and accrued liabilities March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 330,143 $ 495,312 Credit cards payable 15,892 12,351 Total accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 346,035 $ 507,663 Note 4 – Notes Payable to Related Party, net of debt issuance costs On April 9, 2024, the Company and the investor entered into an Amendment and Waiver Agreement relating to the Company’s outstanding Bridge Notes. Refer to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional information regarding the Bridge Notes. The Company agreed to pay $2.75 million in cash to the holder in repayment of the principal of the Bridge Notes (exclusive of the $275,000 of original issue discount on the Bridge Notes) shortly after the closing by the Company of one or more equity financings with total gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $6,000,000. On April 26, 2024, the Company repaid $ 2.75 million of principal on its outstanding Secured Bridge Notes. Effective April 9, 2024, the holder converted $ 911,384 (the “Rollover Amount”) which is equal to the (i) unpaid accrued interest on the Bridge Notes plus (ii) the original issue discount (“OID”) on the Bridge Notes, into equity securities of the Company (the “Rollover Securities”). The Rollover Securities consist of (i) 27,256 prefunded common stock warrants with a per share exercise price of $0.001 per share (the “Prefunded Warrants”) and (ii) 27,256 non-prefunded warrants (the “Non-Prefunded Warrants”) with a per share exercise price equal to $6.2934. The number of Non-Prefunded Warrants was determined by dividing the Rollover Amount by $33.49 (the original exercise price). The number of Non-Prefunded Warrants is equal to the number of Prefunded Warrants (i.e. 100% warrant coverage). The Non-Prefunded Warrants have a price adjustment provision which will adjust the exercise price downward in the event that the Company issues equity securities in the future at an effective per share price below the then current exercise price. The original exercise price of $33.49 has been subsequently adjusted to $6.2934. In order to assure compliance with applicable Nasdaq rules, the Non-Prefunded Warrants shall not be exercisable for six months following the date of issue. The Company issued to the holder 2,942 new common stock warrants with a five-year term as a loan extension fee (“Fee Warrants”). The Fee Warrants have a price adjustment provision which will adjust the exercise price downward in the event that the Company issues equity securities in the future at an effective per share price below the then current exercise price. The original exercise price of $33.49 has been subsequently adjusted to $6.2934. In order to assure compliance with applicable Nasdaq rules, the Fee Warrants shall not be exercisable for six months following the date of issue. 9 The Non-Prefunded Warrants and Fee Warrants had a total valuation of $ 811,402 and the Prefunded Warrants had a valuation of $ 732,370 . As a result, the Company recorded $ 911,384 as a non-cash charge in connection with the issuance of warrants related to the Bridge Notes and a change in the fair value of warrants of $ 632,388 upon payoff of the debt. All warrants were classified as equity as they were indexed to the Company’s shares in accordance with ASC 815-40. Note 5 – Commitments and Contingencies Operating Lease On March 25, 2024, the Company entered into a 37-month operating lease commencing on April 1, 2024 with two separate two year renewal options. The monthly base rent for months two through 14 is $2,456, increasing to $3,070 for months 15 through 26, and ending at $3,684 for months 27 through 37. Rent expense, as part of general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations, was $ 8,960 and $ 22,480 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which consisted of the new operating lease and a temporary month-to-month lease the Company entered into until a long-term space was identified. Litigation In the normal course of business, the Company is party to litigation from time to time. The Company maintains insurance to cover certain actions and believes that resolution of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. There are no active litigations as of the date the financial statements were issued. However, a pre-IPO investor has contacted the Company claiming damages caused by alleged acts and omissions arising from a private financing by the Company. No complaint has been filed by the investor. The alleged damages asserted by the investor are less than approximately $300,000. The outcome of the complaint was neither probable or estimable as of the date the financial statements were issued, therefore, no accrual has been made. Note 6 – Share-based Issuances Stock Options The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Because Black Scholes option valuation models incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs, these ranges are disclosed. Expected volatilities and based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock, historical volatility of the Company’s stock, and other factors. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The following table presents the activity for stock options outstanding: Schedule of stock option activity Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding - December 31, 2024 34,341 $ 123.88 Granted – – Forfeited/canceled – – Exercised – – Outstanding – March 31, 2025 34,341 $ 123.88 Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding - December 31, 2023 4,994 $ 812.43 Granted – – Forfeited/canceled – – Exercised – – Outstanding – March 31, 2024 4,994 $ 812.43 10 The following table presents the composition of options outstanding and exercisable: Schedule of options outstanding and exercisable Options Outstanding** Options Exercisable** Exercise Prices Number Price Life* Number Price* $8.67 29,413 $ 8.67 9.76 29,413 $ 8.67 $1,230.63 131 $ 1,230.63 2.61 131 $ 1,230.63 $1,808.79 411 $ 1,808.79 4.23 411 $ 1,808.79 $1,185.75 1,822 $ 1,185.75 5.73 1,727 $ 1,185.75 $760.75 428 $ 760.75 6.43 376 $ 760.75 $514.25 917 $ 514.25 7.45 917 $ 514.25 $168.30 118 $ 168.30 8.19 29 $ 168.30 $106.25 1,101 $ 106.25 8.71 162 $ 106.25 Total – March 31, 2025 34,341 33,166 * Price and Life reflect the weighted average exercise price and weighted average remaining contractual life, respectively. ** The Company’s options summarized above have been retroactively restated for the effect of the 17-for-1 reverse stock split.

The remaining unvested share-based compensation expense of $ 105,130 is expected to be recognized over the next 33 months. 11 Note 7 – Equity Financings Equity Line Common Stock Purchase Agreement On November 25, 2024, the Company entered into a new equity line Common Stock Purchase Agreement and a related registration rights agreement with White Lion. Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation to require White Lion to purchase, from time to time, up to $10,000,000 in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. At-the-Market Sales Agreement During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company issued 78,947 shares for aggregate proceeds of approximately $ 0.7 million pursuant to an At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, as sales agent (the “Agent”). Under the Sales Agreement, the Company may sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $10,000,000 from time to time, through an “at the market offering” (the “ATM Offering”). The aggregate market value of shares that the Company can sell under the Sales Agreement will be subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, to the extent required under such instruction. $2.3 Million Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants Financing On April 23, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with accredited investors for a convertible preferred stock and warrants financing. The Company received $ 2,314,000 of gross proceeds in connection with the closing of this financing. At the closing, the Company issued 2,314 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) at a purchase price of $1,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at an initial conversion price (“Conversion Price”) of $31.47 per share of Common Stock. The Company also issued warrants (“Warrants”) exercisable for 73,538 shares of Common Stock with a five-year term and an initial exercise price of $ 31.47 per share. The current conversion and exercise price has been adjusted to $ 6.2934 . The proceeds of this financing, together with other available cash resources, were used to repay outstanding debt and for general corporate purposes. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends in the amount of 10% per annum, payable quarterly. The Company has the option to pay dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock in additional shares of Common Stock. The Company also has the option to cumulate or “capitalize” the dividends, in which case the accrued dividend amount shall be added to the stated value of each share of Series B Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has elected to capitalize all dividends declared. On February 19, 2025, 140 shares of Series B Preferred stock were converted to 16,654 shares of Common Stock. Additionally, on February 19, 2025, the Series B Preferred stockholders converted their capitalized dividends into 16,654 shares of Common Stock. Warrants The following table presents the activity for warrants outstanding: Schedule of activity for warrants outstanding Warrants Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding - December 31, 2024 142,915 $ 127.31 Granted – – Forfeited/cancelled/restored – – Exercised – – Outstanding – March 31, 2025 142,915 $ 127.31 12 Note 8 – Leases under ASC 842 The Company leases certain office space under operating leases for use in operations. The Company recognizes operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Management determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. Lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a single component for all leases. Operating lease right to use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the expected lease term, which includes optional renewal periods if the Company determines it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. As the operating lease does not provide an implicit rate, the discount rate used in the present value calculation represents the incremental borrowing rate determined using information available at the commencement date. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded operating lease expense of $ 8,960 and $ 0 , respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s accompanying condensed statements of operations. As of March 31, 2025, weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate were as follows: Schedule of weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate March 31, 2025 Weighted-average remaining lease term 1.78 years Weighted-average discount rate 8.6 % The following is a maturity analysis of the annual undiscounted cash flows reconciled to the carrying value of the operating lease liabilities as of March 31, 2025: Schedule of annual undiscounted cash flows of leases Years Ended December 31, 2025 $ 27,014 2026 41,749 2027 14,735 Less imputed interest ( 7,662 ) Total $ 75,836 Note 9 – Segment Reporting Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment engaged in the technology of how customers engage with audio through the development of a proprietary AI platform for audio and innovative technologies for podcasts. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as the CODM, regularly reviews the entity-wide financial and operational performance as a single unit. No financial information is disaggregated into separate lines of businesses. The CEO makes resource allocation and business process decisions regarding the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources. The single segment’s principal measure of segment profit and loss is consolidated research and development expenses and administrative expenses. The CFO considers actual and forecasted expenses when evaluating performance. Note 10 – Subsequent Events Management evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date, up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as set forth below, management did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements. In April 2025, 447 shares of Series B Preferred stock and capitalized dividends were converted to 85,225 shares of Common stock. In April 2025, the Company issued 25,000 shares of Common stock under the Equity Line Common Stock Purchase Agreement for total proceeds of $0.1 million. 13 Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our audited financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on March 5, 2025. This discussion and analysis and other parts of this Quarterly Report contain forward-looking statements based upon current beliefs, plans and expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, such as statements regarding our plans, objectives, expectations, intentions and projections. Our actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those set forth under Part II, Item 1A, “ Risk Factors ” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. You should carefully read the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report and of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, to gain an understanding of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements. Please also see the section entitled “ Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements .” Overview Auddia (the “Company”) is an AI technology company headquartered in Boulder, CO that is reinventing how consumers engage with audio through the development of its faidr app, an industry-first audio platform, which utilizes proprietary AI technology to personalize and customize both radio and podcast listening experiences. faidr allows users to listen to AM/FM radio stations without unwanted commercial breaks. The app replaces these ad breaks in real time with streaming music similar in format and genre to the radio station being played. The faidr app represents the first-time consumers can combine the local content uniquely provided by AM/FM radio with commercial-free and personalized listening many consumers demand from digital-media consumption. In addition to commercial-free AM/FM, faidr includes podcasts – also with ads removed or easily skipped by listeners – as well as exclusive content, which includes new artist discovery, curated music stations, and exclusive music podcasts that allow hosts to play full tracks within the episode. The combination of AM/FM streaming and podcasting, with Auddia’s unique, AI technology-driven differentiators, addresses large (radio streamers) and rapidly growing (podcast listeners) audiences. We have developed our AI platform on top of Google’s TensorFlow open-source library that is being “taught” to know the difference between all types of audio content on the radio. For instance, the platform recognizes the difference between a commercial and a song and DJ conversation. Not only does the technology learn the differences between the various types of audio segments, but it also identifies the beginning and end of each piece of content. The faidr app is intended to be downloaded by consumers who are willing to pay for a customizable, commercial-free listening experience. Our advanced features allow subscribers to skip any content heard on the station and request audio content on-demand. We believe the faidr App represents a significant differentiated audio streaming product, the first to give audio streamers a more personalized middle ground between passive content like broadcast radio and fully on-demand content like Spotify. No other audio streaming app available today, including category leaders like TuneIn, iHeart, and Audacy, can compete with faidr’s full product offerings. We launched an MVP version of faidr through several consumer trials in 2021 to measure consumer interest and engagement with the App. The full app launched on February 15, 2022, and included all major U.S. radio stations in the US. In February 2023, we added faidrRadio, our exclusive content offerings, to the app. Podcasts were added to the app for the iOS version before the end of Q1 2023 and added to the Android app in May of 2023. In Q1 of 2025, we implemented new paywalls and are now testing various price points and marketing strategies aimed at optimizing subscription conversions. The Company continues to look for opportunities to improve the value faidr delivers to consumers through content enhancements, improvements in app functionality, and the development of new features. Through these ongoing improvements to the faidr app and the continuous optimization of the marketing message and strategy to reach the right audiences, the Company continues to pursue the product market fit required to support a significant increase in marketing spend to drive users and revenue. 14 The faidr mobile App is available today through the iOS and Android App stores. We have funded our operations with proceeds from the February 2021 IPO, Series A warrants exercised in July 2021 and common share issuance during June of 2023. We also obtained debt financing through a related party during November 2022 and April 2023, which was subsequently repaid in April 2024. In addition, we sold common shares during 2025 and 2024 pursuant to our equity line facility. Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $91,239,759. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and commercialization of one or more of our Apps. We expect that our expenses and capital requirements will increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly if and as we: · nationally launch our faidr App and as we continue training our proprietary AI technology and make product enhancements; · continue to develop and expand our technology and functionality to advance the faidr app; · rollout our product on a national basis, which will include increasing our sales and marketing costs related to the promotion of our products. faidr promotion will include a combination of a) purchasing ads directly from broadcasters or b) participating broadcasters to promote without purchasing ads, but sharing a portion of subscription proceeds based on listening activity on those stations; · continue to pursue and complete potential acquisitions of other companies; · hire additional business development, product management, operational and marketing personnel; · continue market studies of our products; and · add operational and general administrative personnel which will support our product development programs, commercialization efforts and our transition to operating as a public company. As a result, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity, debt financings or other capital sources, which may include collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Even if we are able to generate product sales, we may not become profitable. 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 at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate our operations. As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,689,913. Through the date of this report, we have secured approximately $0.7 million in additional financing in the first quarter of 2025. We will need additional funding to complete the development of our full product line and scale products with a demonstrated market fit. Management has plans to secure such additional funding. However, if we are unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate our technology development and commercialization efforts. Recent Developments Mergers and Acquisitions Strategy We are exploring various merger and acquisition options as part of a broader strategy which aims to scale the business more rapidly; accelerate user adoption and subscriber growth; enter new markets (international); and open new pathways toward raising capital. The overall strategy focuses on three areas: (1) acquiring retained users of a radio-streaming app, (2) bringing our proprietary ad-free products to that userbase to generate significant subscription revenue, and (3) bringing together other differentiated features into the larger audio Superapp platform. 15 Nasdaq Deficiency Notices During 2022, 2023 and 2024, the Company received notices from Nasdaq indicating that the Company was not in compliance with (i) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing or (ii) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) which requires companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market to maintain a minimum of a $1.00 bid price for continued listing. On May 24, 2024, we received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that we had regained compliance with the equity requirement in Listing rule 5550(b) (1). We will be subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year from the date of the letter in accordance with application of Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B). On October 16, 2024, we received a written notice from Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing. The bid price notice does not result in the immediate delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The bid price notice indicated that we have 180 calendar days (or until April 14, 2025) in which to regain compliance. If at any time during this 180 calendar day period the bid price of our common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Nasdaq staff will provide us with a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. On April 14, 2025, Nasdaq notified us that we were in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. Reverse Stock Splits On February 27, 2024, the Company effectuated a 1-for-25 reverse stock split. On March 28, 2025, the Company effectuated a 1-for-17 reverse stock split. The reverse stock splits did not change the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock. No fractional shares were issued and any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock splits were rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock splits applied to the Company’s outstanding warrants, stock options and restricted stock units. The number of shares of common stock into which these outstanding securities are convertible or exercisable were adjusted proportionately as a result of the reverse stock splits. The exercise prices of any outstanding warrants or stock options were also proportionately adjusted in accordance with the terms of those securities and the Company’s equity incentive plans. Impact of Inflation We have recently experienced higher costs across our business as a result of inflation, including higher costs related to employee compensation and outside services. We expect inflation to continue to have a negative impact throughout 2025, and it is uncertain whether we will be able to offset the impact of inflationary pressures in the near term. Components of our results of operations Operating expenses Direct costs of services Direct cost of services consists primarily of costs incurred related to our technology and development of our Apps, including hosting and other technology related expenses. We expect our direct costs of services to increase in the future as we continue to develop and enhance our technology related to the faidr and podcasting Apps. 16 Sales and marketing Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, direct to consumer promotional spend and consulting services, all of which are related to the sales and promotion performed during the period. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to fluctuate period by period as we release new upgrades and enhancements within our Apps and look to generate revenue through customer acquisition, retention, and subscription conversion. Research and development Since our inception, we have focused significant resources on our research and development activities related to the software development of our technology. We account for costs incurred in the development of computer software as software research and development costs until the preliminary project stage is completed, management has committed to funding the project, and completion and use of the software for its intended purpose is probable. We cease capitalization of development costs once the software has been substantially completed and is available for its intended use. Software development costs are amortized over a useful life estimated by our management of three years. Costs associated with significant upgrades and enhancements that result in additional functionality are capitalized. Capitalized costs are subject to an ongoing assessment of recoverability based on anticipated future revenues and changes in software technologies. Unamortized capitalized software development costs determined to be in excess of anticipated future net revenues are impaired and expensed during the period of such determination. We expect to continue to incur research and development expenses and capitalization in the future as we continue to develop and enhance our faidr and podcasting Apps. General and administrative Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs, including payroll taxes, benefits, stock-based compensation, and professional fees related to auditing, tax, general legal services, and consulting services. We expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in the future as we right-size our operating activities and prepare for commercialization of our products and support our operations as a public company, including increased expenses related to legal, accounting, insurance, regulatory and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements, directors and officers liability insurance premiums and investor relations activities. Other income and expense The other income and expense category primarily consists of interest expense attributed to the debt and conversion features of the Notes payable to related party. 17 Results of operations Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 The following table summarizes our results of operations: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Revenue $ – $ – Operating expenses: Direct cost of services 55,571 48,173 Sales and marketing 235,441 146,395 Research and development 396,703 165,507 General and administrative 630,891 1,210,799 Depreciation and amortization 432,407 483,746 Total operating expenses 1,751,013 2,054,620 Loss from operations (1,751,013 ) (2,054,620 ) Other expense: Interest expense (1,552 ) (152,708 ) Total other expense (1,552 ) (152,708 ) Loss before income taxes (1,752,565 ) (2,207,328 ) Provision for income taxes – – Net loss $ (1,752,565 ) $ (2,207,328 ) Revenue Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $0 as we continue to develop and enhance our faidr and podcasting Apps to establish new revenue streams. Direct cost of services Direct Cost of Services increased by $7,398 or 15.4% to $55,571 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $48,173 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This remained relatively flat due to ongoing cost of services to maintain the faidr app. Sales and marketing Sales and marketing expenses increased by $89,046 or 60.8% to $235,441 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $146,395 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily attributed to increased marketing promotion costs. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to fluctuate period by period as we release new upgrades and enhancements within our apps and look to generate revenue through customer acquisition, retention, and subscription conversion. Research and development Research and development expenses increased by $231,196 or 139.7% to $396,703 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $165,507 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to an increase in research and development consulting fees incurred. We are continually developing enhancements to both our faidr and podcasting Apps and will continue capitalize software costs to the extent that such development qualifies for capitalization. General and administrative General and administrative expenses decreased by $579,908 or 47.9% to $630,891 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $1,210,799 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in stock compensation expense and professional fees, such as, accounting and legal expenses due to potential acquisition efforts that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and were not present in 2025. 18 Depreciation and amortization Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $51,339 or 10.6% to $432,407 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $483,746 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Capitalized software costs have decreased, in which the ongoing amortization of our faidr and podcasting Apps has also decreased. Other expense, net Total other expenses decreased by $151,156 or (99.0%) to $1,552 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $152,708 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Interest expense decreased by $151,156 due to the repayment of notes payable to related party in April 2024. Liquidity and capital resources Sources of liquidity We have incurred operating losses since our inception and have an accumulated deficit as a result of ongoing efforts to develop and commercialize our faidr and podcasting Apps. As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,689,913. We have working capital in the amount of approximately $1.4 million as of March 31, 2025. We anticipate that operating losses and net cash used in operating activities will increase over the next 12 months as we continue to develop and market our products. We secured $0.7 million of additional financing in the first quarter of 2025, which will only be sufficient to fund our current operating plans into the third quarter of 2025. We have based these estimates, however, on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. We will need additional funding to complete the development of our full product line and scale products with a demonstrated market fit. Management has plans to secure such additional funding. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate our technology development and commercialization efforts. Equity Line Common Stock Purchase Agreement On November 25, 2024, we entered into a new equity line Common Stock Purchase Agreement and a related registration rights agreement with White Lion. Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation to require White Lion to purchase, from time to time, up to $10,000,000 in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. At-the-Market Sales Agreement During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we issued 78,947 shares for aggregate proceeds of approximately $0.7 million pursuant to an At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, as sales agent (the “Agent”). Under the Sales Agreement, we may sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $10,000,000 from time to time, through an “at the market offering” (the “ATM Offering”). Cash Flow Analysis Our cash flows from operating activities have historically been significantly impacted by our investment in sales and marketing to drive growth, and research and development expenses. Our ability to meet future liquidity needs will be driven by our operating performance and the extent of continued investment in our operations. Failure to generate sufficient revenues and related cash flows could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our liquidity needs and achieve our business objectives.

Cash used in operating activities for both periods consisted of personnel-related expenditures, marketing and promotion costs, and public company administrative support costs such as legal and other professional support services.

Cash used in operating activities for both periods consisted of personnel-related expenditures, marketing and promotion costs, and public company administrative support costs such as legal and other professional support services. Investing activities Cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $(246,601), consisting of capitalization of software development expenses and patent expenses. Cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $(273,388), consisting entirely of capitalization of software development expenses. Financing activities Cash flows generated in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $673,361 and primarily related to cash proceeds from the issuance of common shares of $672,795. Cash flows generated in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $3,606,508 and related entirely to cash proceeds from the issuance of common shares of $3,606,508. Funding Requirements We historically have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception and had an accumulated deficit of $91,239,759 and $89,428,436 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,689,913 and $2,706,319, respectively. Our cash is comprised primarily of demand deposit accounts and money market funds. We secured $0.7 million of additional financing in the first quarter of 2025, which will only be sufficient to fund our current operating plans into the third quarter of 2025. We have based these estimates, however, on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. We will need additional funding to complete the development of our full product line and scale products with a demonstrated market fit. Management has plans to secure such additional funding. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate our technology development and commercialization efforts. We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue the development, and marketing and promotion of faidr. In addition, we expect to continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to: · the scope, progress, results, and costs related to the market acceptance of our products; · the ability to attract podcasters and content creators to faidr and retain listeners on the platform; · the costs, timing, and ability to continue to develop our technology; · effectively addressing any competing technological and market developments; and · avoiding and defending against intellectual property infringement, misappropriation and other claims. Off-balance sheet arrangements We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC. 20 Critical Accounting Estimates Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we continually evaluate our estimates and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results may materially differ from these estimates made by management under different assumptions and conditions. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position, are described below. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. Software Development Costs The Company accounts for costs incurred in the development of computer software as software research and development costs until the preliminary project stage is completed, management has committed to funding the project, and completion and use of the software for its intended purpose is probable. The Company ceases capitalization of development costs once the software has been substantially completed and is available for its intended use. Software development costs are amortized over a useful life estimated by the Company’s management of three years. Costs associated with significant upgrades and enhancements that result in additional functionality are capitalized. Capitalized costs are subject to an ongoing assessment of recoverability based on anticipated future revenues and changes in software technologies. Unamortized capitalized software development costs determined to be in excess of anticipated future net revenues are impaired and expensed during the period of such determination. Equity-based compensation Certain of our employees and consultants have received grants of common shares in our company. These awards are accounted for in accordance with guidance prescribed for accounting for equity-based compensation. Based on this guidance and the terms of the awards, the awards are equity classified. The common shares receive distributions if any in an order of priority in accordance with our limited liability company agreement. The fair value of each award is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which values options based on the stock price at the grant date, the expected life of the option, the estimated volatility of the stock, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option. The expected volatility was determined considering comparable companies historical stock prices as a peer group for the fiscal year the grant occurred and prior fiscal years for a period equal to the expected life of the option. The risk-free interest rate was the rate available with a term equal to the expected life of the option. The expected life of the option was estimated based on a mid-point method calculation. Emerging growth company and smaller reporting company status The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 permits an “emerging growth company” such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to not “opt out” of this provision and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards at the time private companies adopt the new or revised accounting standard and will do so until such time that we either (i) irrevocably elect to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualify as an emerging growth company. We are also a “smaller reporting company” 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 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation. 21 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025. 22 PART II – OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings From time to time, we are involved in various disputes, claims, suits, investigations, and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that the resolution of current pending legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Nonetheless, we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings, as legal matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and there exists the possibility that the ultimate resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. For additional information, see “Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies” to our financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. Item 1A. Risk Factors In addition to the information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to our risk factors from those included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds Not applicable. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities We did not repurchase any of our equity securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities None. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures None. Item 5. Other Information During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated or otherwise had in effect a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K. 23 Item 6.
