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.

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.
