Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

March 31, 2024 and 2023

Note 1 - Nature of Business and Liquidity

Amesite Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in November 2017. The Company is an artificial intelligence driven platform and course designer, which provides customized, high performance and scalable online products for schools and businesses. The Company uses machine learning to provide a novel, mass customized experience to learners. The Company’s Customers are businesses, universities and colleges, and K-12 schools. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. The Company’s operations are considered to be in one segment.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and considering the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company has a fiscal year with a June 30 year end.

In the opinion of management, the condensed financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 include all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal, recurring accrual adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed in or omitted from this report pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These financial statements should be read together with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company is developing its customer base and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenue sufficient to cover its expenses. The Company has had a history of net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception and expects to continue to incur net losses and use cash in its operations in the foreseeable future.

The assessment of the Company’s ability to meet its future obligations is inherently judgmental, subjective and susceptible to change. Based on their current forecast, management believes that it may not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to maintain the Company’s planned operations for the next twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements.

The Company has considered both quantitative and qualitative factors that are known or reasonably known as of the date of these financial statements are issued and concluded that there are conditions present in the aggregate that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In response to the conditions, management plans include generating cash by completing financing transactions, which may include offerings of common stock. However, these plans are subject to market conditions, and are not within the Company’s control, and therefore, cannot be deemed probable. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing their plans. As a result, the Company has concluded that management’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

-7-

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The total amount of bank deposits (checking and savings accounts) insured by the FDIC at year end was $250,000.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The straight-line method is used for computing depreciation and amortization. Assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The cost of leasehold improvements is depreciated (amortized) over the lesser of the length of the related leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

		Depreciable Life - Years
Leasehold improvements		Shorter of estimated lease term or 10 years
Furniture and fixtures		7 years
Computer equipment and software		5 years

Capitalized Software Costs

The Company capitalizes costs incurred in the development of software for its Customers, including the costs of the software, materials, consultants, and payroll and payroll related costs for employees incurred in developing computer software. Planning costs incurred prior to the development of software and costs not qualifying for capitalization are charged to expense. The Company amortizes capitalized software over a period of three years, which is the expected useful life of the software. The following table reflects the Company’s capitalized software, amortization expense, and accumulated amortization for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and twelve months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

	Nine Months Ended		Year Ended
	March 31,		June 30,
	2024		2023
Beginning capitalized software	$	3,618,990	$	3,250,081
Additions		227,600		368,909
Ending capitalized software	$	3,846,590	$	3,618,990

Beginning accumulated amortization	$	2,840,544	$	2,183,407
Amortization expense		395,165		657,137
Ending accumulated amortization	$	3,235,709	$	2,840,544

Capitalized software - net	$	610,881	$	778,446

Revenue Recognition

We generate our revenue from contractual arrangements with businesses, colleges and universities to provide a comprehensive platform of integrated technology and technology enabled services related to product offerings. During the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized revenue from contracts with Customers of $139,000 and $722,000, respectively, related to services provided over time.

Performance Obligations and Timing of Recognition

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.

This performance obligation is satisfied as the partners receive and consume benefits, which occur ratably over the contract term.

Occasionally, we provide professional services, such as custom development, non-complex implementation activities, training, and other various professional services. We evaluate these services to determine if they are distinct and separately identifiable in the context of the contract. In our contracts with Customers that contain multiple performance obligations as a result of this assessment, we allocate the transaction price to each separate performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices of our solutions and services are typically estimated based on observable transactions when the solutions or services are sold on a standalone basis. When standalone selling prices are not observable, we utilize a cost-plus margin approach to allocate the transaction price.

We also receive fees that are fixed in nature, such as annual license and maintenance charges, in place of or in conjunction with variable consideration. The fees are recognized ratably over the service period of the contract that the Company’s platform is made available to the customer (i.e., the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the software over the contract service period).

For the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, all revenue recognized has been recognized over the related contract periods. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, three Customers represent 24% each of total revenue.

Accounts Receivable, Contract Assets, and Deferred Liabilities

Balance sheet items related to contracts consist of accounts receivable (net), contract assets, and deferred liabilities on our condensed balance sheets. Accounts receivable (net) is stated at net realizable value, and we utilize the allowance method to provide for doubtful accounts based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of the amounts due. Our estimates are reviewed and revised periodically based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of accounts receivable. Historically, actual write-offs for uncollectible accounts have not significantly differed from prior estimates. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable balances as of March 31, 2024 or June 30, 2023.

We may recognize revenue prior to billing a customer when we have satisfied or partially satisfied our performance obligations as billings to our Customers may not be made until after the service period has commenced. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 we had $11,250 and $0 of contract assets, respectively.

Deferred liabilities as of each balance sheet date represent the excess of amounts billed or received as compared to amounts recognized in revenue on our condensed statements of operations as of the end of the reporting period, and such amounts are reflected as a current liability on our condensed balance sheets as deferred revenue. We generally receive payments prior to completion of the service period and our performance obligations. These payments are recorded as deferred liability until the services are delivered or until our obligations are otherwise met, at which time revenue is recognized.

Some contracts also involve annual license fees, for which upfront amounts are received from Customers. In these contracts, the license fees received in advance of the platform’s launch are recorded as deferred liabilities.

-9-

The following table provides information on the changes in the balance of deferred liabilities:

	Nine Months Ended
	March 31,
	2024			2023
Opening balance	$	53,958		$	342,672
Plus billings		86,954			487,564
Less revenue recognized		(139,037	)		(724,256	)
Closing balance	$	1,875		$	105,980

Revenue recognized during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 that was included in the deferred revenue balance that existed in the opening balance of each year was approximately $54,000 and $264,043, respectively.

The deferred revenue balance as of March 31, 2024 is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have issued four types of stock-based awards under our stock plans: stock options, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, and stock warrants. All stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and independent contractors are measured at fair value at each grant date. We rely on the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of stock-based awards granted, and expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock prices. Stock options generally vest over two years from the grant date and generally have ten-year contractual terms. Restricted stock units generally have a term of 12 months from the closing date of the agreement. Stock warrants issued have a term of five years. Information about the assumptions used in the calculation of stock-based compensation expense is set forth in Note 3 in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Technology and Content Development

Technology and content development expenditures consist primarily of personnel and personnel-related expense and contracted services associated with the maintenance of our platform as well as hosting and licensing costs and are charged to expense as incurred. It also includes amortization of capitalized software costs and research and development costs related to improving our platform and creating content that are charged to expense as incurred.

Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities be reported at fair value in the financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset. These Level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management’s own estimates using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques.

In instances wherein inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

Income Taxes

A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the year. Deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax accounting.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

Net Loss per Share

At March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Company had 754,592 and 758,079 potentially dilutive shares of common stock related to common stock options and warrants, respectively, as determined using the if-converted method. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the dilutive effect of common stock options and common stock warrants has not been included in the average shares outstanding for the calculation of net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive as a result of our net losses in these periods.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date of this Form 10-Q and has determined that no events have occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in an industry subject to rapid change. The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with an early-stage company, including the potential risk of business failure.

Note 3 - Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and deferred stock units to officers, employees, directors, consultants, agents, and independent contractors of the Company. The Company believes that such awards align the interests of its employees, directors, and consultants with those of its stockholders.

Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest over four years from the grant date and generally have ten-year contractual terms. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting (as defined in the Plan).

The Company estimates the fair value of each option award using a Black Scholes Model (“BSM”). Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of comparable companies. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise within the valuation model or estimates the expected option exercise when historical data is unavailable. 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 Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. When calculating the amount of annual compensation expense, the Company has elected not to estimate forfeitures and instead accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

No options were granted for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023. As of March 31, 2024, there were approximately $48,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs for employees and non-employees related to nonvested options. These costs are expected to be recognized through December 2026.

-11-

A summary of options terminated, as well as those that vested, in the nine months ended March 31, 2024 is presented below:

Options	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)
Outstanding at July 1, 2023		237,041		$	21.73		6.39
Terminated		(6,355	)	$	16.47		4.99
Additional vesting		2,868		$	28.80		6.85
Outstanding and expected to vest at March 31, 2024		233,554		$	21.64		5.67

On September 29, 2021, the board of directors approved changes to our director compensation program for fiscal year 2022 and beyond. The board instituted an annual cash retainer for directors in the amount of $48,000 per director with an additional retainer for the chair of our Compensation Committee and Audit Committee of $7,500 and $10,000, respectively. Directors can choose to receive deferred stock units in lieu of cash payments. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, $187,500 in deferred stock units were awarded and $55,500 in cash compensation was accrued.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company has 331,525 shares of common stock available for granting under the Plan.

Note 4 - Warrants

As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, there were 521,000 warrants outstanding.

The Company measures the fair value of warrants using the Black-Scholes Model. No warrants have been issued during the nine months ended March 31, 2024. The fair value of the warrants issued during the year ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $2,026,010 using a volatility of 94.9%, risk-free rate of 3.54%, and an expected term of 5.5 years.

Note 5 - Income Taxes

For the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and prior periods since inception, the Company’s activities have not generated taxable income or tax liabilities. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized an income tax benefit on the Condensed Statements of Operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company has approximately $25 million of net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future income taxes, of which approximately $17,000 of net operating loss carryforwards expire in 2037. Due to uncertainty as to the realization of the net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets as a result of the Company’s limited operating history and operating losses since inception, a full valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended June 30, 2023 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on October 6, 2022. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those factors set forth in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A.

Overview

The following discussion highlights our results of operations and the principal factors that have affected our financial condition as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the statements of financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis are based on our unaudited condensed financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which we have prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and the requirements of the SEC. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.

Financial Position, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

We are not currently profitable, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will ever be profitable. We incurred a net loss of $3.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, and we incurred a net loss of $36.7 million for the period from November 14, 2017 (date of incorporation) to March 31, 2024.

During the period from November 14, 2017 (date of incorporation) to September 30, 2020, we raised net proceeds of approximately $11,760,000 from private placement financing transactions (stock and debt). On September 25, 2020, we completed the Offering of 250,000 shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at an offering price of $60.00 per share (total net proceeds of approximately $12.8 million after underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering costs).

On August 2, 2021, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), under which, subject to specified terms and conditions, we may sell up to $16.5 million shares of common stock. Our net proceeds under the Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency of sales and the number of shares sold to Lincoln Park and the prices at which we sell shares to Lincoln Park. On August 2, 2021, we sold 63,260 shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase under the Purchase Agreement for a total purchase price of $1,500,000. We also issued 12,727 shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase our common stock under the Purchase Agreement.

On February 16, 2022, we closed on a public offering of common stock and received approximately $2.51 million of cash proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering costs (Note 4 to the Financial Statements).

On September 1, 2022, we closed on a public offering of common stock and concurrent private placement of warrants and received approximately $1.85 million of cash proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering costs (Note 4 to the Financial Statements).

As of March 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalent balance totaled $3 million.

Going Concern

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates if conditions differ from our assumptions. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 in the “Notes to Condensed Financial Statements,” we believe the following accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in preparation of our financial statements.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, including US Treasury Market Fund

As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 our cash and cash equivalents totaled $3 million and $5.4 million, respectively with the majority invested in a short-term US Treasury Fund returning approximately 5%. The Fund is invested in US Treasuries with a 7-day liquidity. The decision to allocate funds to the short-term US Treasury Fund is based on our investment strategy, which prioritizes liquidity and stability while receiving current rate returns. The returns from the fund for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 were 5% and in line with our expectations and the broader market trends for similar investment vehicles. We continuously monitor our investment portfolio, considering market conditions and our liquidity needs, ensuring alignment with our broader financial strategy and risk tolerance.

Internally Developed Capitalized Software

We capitalize certain costs related to the development of software for our Customers, primarily consisting of direct labor and third-party vendor costs associated with creating the software. Software development projects generally include three stages: the preliminary project stage (all costs are expensed as incurred), the application development stage (certain costs are capitalized and certain costs are expensed as incurred) and the post-implementation/operation stage (all costs are expensed as incurred). Costs capitalized in the application development stage include costs related to the design and implementation of the selected software components, software build and configuration infrastructure, and software interfaces. Capitalization of costs requires judgment in determining when a project has reached the application development stage, the proportion of time spent in the application development stage, and the period over which we expect to benefit from the use of that software. Once the software is placed in service, these costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally three years.

The Company capitalized software of $227,600 and $369,000 and recognized amortization expense of $395,000 and $657,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and year ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Results of Operations

Revenue Recognition

We generate substantially all our revenue from contractual arrangements with businesses, colleges and universities and K-12 schools to provide a comprehensive platform of tightly integrated technology and technology enabled services related to product offerings. Revenue related to our licensing arrangements is generally recognized ratably over the contract term commencing upon platform delivery. Revenue related to licensing arrangements recognized in a given time period will consist of contracts that went live in the current period or that went live in previous periods and are currently ongoing.

We have recorded accounts receivable of $0 and $15,000 as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. We have set up deferred revenue liabilities at the end of each period to reflect performance obligations to be performed in future periods for our services delivered over time. Future obligations related to deferred revenue totaled $2,000 and $54,000 as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 respectively.

The majority of our Customers are private and public learning institutions across various domestic regions. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, three Customers comprised approximately 72% of total revenue.

Revenue

We generated revenues of $34,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $205,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. We generated revenues of $139,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $722,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023.

Stock-Based Compensation

We issue four types of stock-based awards under our stock plans: stock options, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, and stock warrants. All stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and independent contractors are measured at fair value at each grant date. We rely on the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of stock-based awards granted, and expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock prices. Stock options generally vest over two years from the grant date and generally have ten-year contractual terms. Restricted stock units generally have a term of 12 months from the closing date of the agreement. Stock warrants issued have a term of five years. Information about the assumptions used in the calculation of stock-based compensation expense is set forth in Note 3 in the Notes to Financial Statements.

-15-

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and personnel-related expenses, including executive management, legal, finance, human resources and other departments that do not provide direct operational services. General and administrative expenses also include professional fees and other corporate expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $1,135,000 as compared to $653,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase between the three-month periods is due to the March 2024 issuance of $600,000 restricted stock units with no cash outlay, net of general and administrative expense savings of $118,000. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 were $2,017,000 as compared to $1,946,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 which also reflects the March 2024 issuance of $600,000 restricted stock units with no cash outlay, net of general and administrative expense savings of $529,000. The savings are primarily due to deliberate cost reductions, including reductions in headcount and associated administrative costs. These reductions were made possible by completion of certain features and platform capabilities that require less staffing to maintain than to build.

Technology and Content Development

Technology and content development expenses consist primarily of personnel and personnel-related expenses and contracted services associated with the ongoing improvement and maintenance of our platform as well as hosting and licensing costs. Technology and content expenses also include the amortization of capitalized software costs.

Technology and content development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $224,000 as compared to $279,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Technology and content development expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 were $889,000 as compared to $1,191,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The decreases between the three-month periods and the nine-month periods in technology are also principally related to reductions in headcount and associated administrative costs, since these costs scale with staff. The reductions in the three-month and nine-month periods in content development are principally due to completion of certain learning programs that are now offered by our Customers and require less staffing to maintain than to build.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expense consist primarily of activities to attract Customers to our offerings. This includes personnel and personnel-related expenses, various search engine and social media costs as well as the cost of advertising.

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $139,000 as compared to $218,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 were $603,000 as compared to $825,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease between the three-month periods and the nine-month periods in sales and marketing are principally related to refinement of sales and marketing processes to those that focus messaging directly to our key markets and offer improved lead generation. We have seen increases in marketing qualified leads (MQLs) in both periods, while reducing the overall sales and marketing spend.

Interest Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, interest income totaled $38,000 as compared to interest income of $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, interest income totaled $148,000 as compared to interest income of $36,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023.

Net Loss

Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $1,426,000 as compared to a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $928,000. Our net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 was $3.2 million. The current quarter and year to date losses include $600,000 from the March 2024 issuance of $600,000 restrictive stock units with no cash outlay, net of savings in other expense areas of $100,000 and $600,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 as discussed above.

-16-

Capital Expenditures

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had capital asset additions of $109,000 and $113,000, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had capital asset additions of $228,000 and $288,000 in capitalized technology and content development. We will continue to capitalize significant software development costs, comprised primarily of internal payroll, payroll related and contractor costs, as we build out and complete our technology platforms.

Reverse Split of Stock

On February 15, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the stockholders also approved a proposal to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 at a specific ratio within a range of one-for five (1-for-5) to a maximum of one-for-fifty (1-for-50) to be determined by the Company’s board of directors in its sole discretion.

Following the Special Meeting, the board of directors approved a one-for-twelve (1-for-12) reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). On February 21, 2023, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to affect the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time on February 21, 2023, and the Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis when the Nasdaq Stock Market opens on February 22, 2023.

On March 8, 2023, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that because the Company’s common stock had a closing bid price at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, the Company had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
