+Added: Callin, of which 963,337 shares had been issued as of December 31, 2023.
+Added: The fair value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on

+Added: In addition, the Company issued rights to four payments each consisting of 375,000 contingently
+Added: issuable shares of Class A Common Stock to the common shareholders, series FF preferred shareholders, option holders and continuing employees
+Added: of Callin contingent on the following conditions being met:
+Added: Services are provided by a selling shareholder for 12 months;
+Added: Services are provided by a selling shareholder for 24 months;
+Added: Within 12 months, certain feature development and technical performance criteria are achieved, and the acquired technology
+Added: is integrated into the Company’s existing software and
+Added: Within 24 months, certain feature development and technical performance criteria are achieved.
+Added: In assessing what is part of the business
+Added: combination, the Company has determined that because the two retention payments are contingent on a selling shareholder providing services
+Added: post-combination, the portion of those tranches earned by the party providing services should be reflected in the Company’s financial
+Added: statements as post-combination expense.
+Added: In addition, where future services are required by employees in order to earn rights to the contingent
+Added: consideration, such rights are being accounted for either entirely as post-combination expense or as replacement awards where the rights
+Added: replace unvested options or restricted series FF preferred shares that were originally granted by Callin.

+Added: As a result, the consideration that is contingent on one of the selling shareholder’s providing services has been classified
+Added: as a liability.
+Added: The contingent consideration is classified Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
+Added: The key inputs into the fair value determination
+Added: are the probability of achieving the milestones, which impacts the expected number of shares to be issued, and the share price on the
+Added: acquisition date.
+Added: At the acquisition date, management estimated the number of shares to be issued is 349,523 .
+Added: The Company has recognized

−Removed: If the Company pays a dividend or makes a distribution in
−Removed: cash, securities or other assets to the holders of the common stock, the Warrant price shall be decreased by the amount of cash and/or
−Removed: the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of common stock in respect of such extraordinary dividend.
−Removed: If the number of outstanding shares of common stock is decreased

−Removed: Whenever the number of shares of common stock purchasable

−Removed: to such adjustment by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of
−Removed: the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of common stock so purchasable
−Removed: immediately thereafter.
−Removed: The exercise of the Warrants may be
−Removed: settled in cash upon the occurrence of a tender offer or exchange that involves 50 % or more of the Company’s Class A shareholders.
−Removed: Not all of the shareholders need to participate in such tender offer or exchange to trigger the potential cash settlement and the Company
−Removed: does not control the occurrence of such an event.
−Removed: The Warrants may be redeemed, at the
−Removed: option of the Company, at a price of $ 0.01 per Warrant, provided that the last sales price of the common stock has been at least $ 18.00
−Removed: per share during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day of the close of the Qualifying Transaction.
−Removed: These Warrants are traded publicly with
−Removed: fair value being determined as their market price.
−Removed: The warrant liability was valued at $3.86 per warrant on September 16, 2022, the date
−Removed: of Qualifying Transaction.
−Removed: As these are financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, these Warrants were revalued
−Removed: at December 31, 2022 using the observable market price of $1.25 per warrant resulting in a gain of $21,010,500.
−Removed: As the transfer of Private
−Removed: Placement Warrants and Forward Purchase Warrants to anyone who is not a permitted transferee would result in Private Placement Warrants
−Removed: and Forward Purchase Warrants having substantially the same terms as those issued in public offerings, the Company determined that the
−Removed: fair value of Private Placement Warrants and Forward Purchase Warrants are equivalent to that of the Public Warrants.
−Removed: The Warrants are
−Removed: measured at level 1 and level 2 respectively, of the fair value measurement hierarchy.
−Removed: Further, as these warrants may be exercised
−Removed: by holders on a cashless basis, and the exercise of these warrants may be settled in cash that does not require the participation of all
−Removed: shareholders to trigger the potential cash settlement, the Company has concluded that all of its warrants do not meet the ASC 815-40 conditions
−Removed: of equity classification.
+Added: A formal Section 382
+Added: study has not been prepared, so the exact effects of the ownership change are not known at this time.
+Added: The Company operates in a number of

+Added: any item on these returns.
+Added: The Company has accumulated loss carryforwards each year since inception in both the US and Canada which are
+Added: open to audit examination until such time that the year in which they are utilized becomes statute barred.
+Added: Because the tax matters challenged
+Added: by tax authorities are typically complex, the ultimate outcome of these challenges is uncertain.
+Added: The Company recognizes the effects of
+Added: uncertain tax positions in the consolidated financial statements after determining that it is more-likely-than-not the uncertain tax positions

+Added: Loss per Share
+Added: Basic loss per share is computed by
+Added: dividing net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of Class A and Class C Common Stock issued and outstanding,
+Added: excluding those held in escrow as these are contingently issuable shares and have been excluded from the calculation during the year ended
+Added: December 31, 2023, and 2022.
+Added: Shares of Class D Common Stock do not share in earnings and not participating securities (i.e., non-economic
+Added: shares) and therefore, have been excluded from the calculation of weighted-average number of shares outstanding.
+Added: Diluted loss per share is computed
+Added: giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares.
+Added: Diluted loss per share for all periods presented is the same as basic loss per share
+Added: as the inclusion of potentially issuable shares would be antidilutive.

+Added: of the claim.
+Added: In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, and its bylaws contain
+Added: similar indemnification obligations to its agents.
+Added: Furthermore, many of the Company’s
+Added: agreements with its customers and partners require the Company to indemnify them for certain intellectual property infringement claims
+Added: against them, which would increase costs as a result of defending such claims, and may require that we pay significant damages if there
+Added: were an adverse ruling in any such claims.
+Added: Customers and partners may discontinue the use of the Company’s services and technologies
+Added: as a result of injunctions or otherwise, which could result in loss of revenues and adversely impact the business.
+Added: It is not possible to make a reasonable
+Added: estimate of the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances involved in
+Added: each particular agreement.
+Added: As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no material indemnification claims that were probable or reasonably
