NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
NOTE 1: BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Overview
Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. (formerly WaveDancer, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries Firefly Neuroscience 2023, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as Firefly Neuroscience, Inc.), Firefly Neuroscience Ltd., an Israeli corporation (formerly known as Elminda Ltd.), Elminda 2022 Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as Elminda Inc.), Firefly Neurosciences Canada Inc., a Canadian corporation, and Elminda Canada Inc., a Canadian corporation (collectively, the "Company"), are engaged in the development, marketing and distribution of medical devices and technology allowing high resolution visualization and evaluation of the complex neuro-physiological interconnections of the human brain.
NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $
Management of the Company has a reasonable expectation that the Company can continue raising additional capital to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Ability to raise additional funds will depend on, among other factors, financial, economic and market conditions, many of which are outside of our control and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms or at all.
NOTE 3: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any subsequent period or for the entire period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 3, 2025. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All amounts are disclosed in thousands, except share and per share amounts. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated, necessary for a fair statement of its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for all periods presented.
Principles of consolidation
These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company consolidates legal entities in which it holds a controlling financial interest. The Company has a two-tier consolidation model: one focused on voting rights (the voting interest model) and the second focused on a qualitative analysis of power over significant activities and exposure to potentially significant losses or benefits (the variable interest model). All entities are first evaluated to determine whether they are variable interest entities (“VIE”). If an entity is determined not to be a VIE, it is assessed on the basis of voting and other decision-making rights under the voting interest model. The accounts of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period using consistent accounting policies. All intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated on consolidation.
Use of estimates in the preparation of consolidated financial statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions, and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Significant accounting policies
There have been no new or material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Impact of recently issued accounting standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company's fiscal year 2025. The Company will include such disclosure in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Company has evaluated issued Accounting Standards Updates that have not yet been adopted and believes the adoption of these standards will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 12: BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to holders of common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period computation includes shares of common stock to be contractually issued as of the period end date and warrants exercisable for little or no consideration in relation to the share price. Shares of common stock that were issued and are subject to vesting conditions are not considered outstanding during the requisite service period.
Diluted net loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period when the effect is dilutive. As of March 31, 2025, potential dilutive shares of common stock consist of shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, warrants, RSUs and DSUs. No adjustments have been made to the weighted average outstanding shares of common stock figures for the three months ended March 31, 2025, or 2024, as the assumed conversion would be anti-dilutive.
The following table summarizes the potential shares of common stock that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as such shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

For the purposes of the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share, an amount recognized as a deemed dividend reduced net loss available to common stockholders in a manner similar to the application of the two-class method. The net loss available to common stockholders was adjusted by the deemed dividend associated with the Inducement Agreement (Note 11.b).

NOTE 15: SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has
reportable segment managed on a consolidated basis: BNA platform. The Company derives revenue primarily in North America and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. The technology used in the customer arrangements is based on a single software platform that is deployed to and implemented by customers in a similar manner. The service term for the software arrangements is variable. The Company does not have intra-entity sales or transfers.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis to allocate resources, evaluate financial performance and make overall operating decisions. The measure of segment profit or loss that is most consistent with the consolidated financial statements is consolidated net loss. The accounting policies of our single reportable segment are the same as those for the consolidated financial statements. The level of disaggregation and amounts of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM are the same as those presented in the consolidated statements of operations. Likewise, the measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets.

Overview
We are an Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) technology company developing innovative neuroscientific solutions that improve brain health outcomes for patients with mental illnesses and neurological disorders. Our FDA-510(k) cleared Brain Network Analytics software platform (the “BNA Platform”) is focused on advancing diagnostic and treatment approaches for people suffering from mental illnesses and cognitive disorders, including depression, dementia, anxiety disorders, concussions, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. We have invested a substantial amount of time and resources to develop the software, compile the requisite database of brain wave tests, gain patent protection, and receive Federal Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance to market and sell the BNA Platform. The BNA Platform is a software as a medical solution that was developed using AI through unsupervised machine learning (via clustering analysis) on our extensive proprietary database of standardized, high-definition longitudinal electroencephalograms (“EEG”) of over 18,000 patients representing twelve disorders, as well as clinically normal patients. The BNA Platform, in conjunction with an FDA-cleared EEG system, may provide clinicians with comprehensive insights into brain function (cognition). These insights could enhance a clinician’s ability to accurately diagnose mental illnesses and cognitive disorders and assist in evaluating what therapy or drug is best suited to optimize a patient’s outcome.
As of the date of this filing, the BNA Platform has been developed and is in the pre-commercial stages but has not yet been launched widely. However, we are currently planning to undertake a commercial launch of the BNA Platform in 2025. We do not expect that additional development costs to achieve this commercial launch will be material. We believe there is potential for such commercialization, both with respect to pharmaceutical companies in their drug research and clinical trial activities, as well as medical practitioners in their clinics. In concert with the commercialization of BNA Platform, we are collaborating with neuroscience drug development companies to support their clinical strategies. We plan to generate revenue through two segments: through the use of BNA Platform by United States neurologists and through collaborations with pharmaceutical companies in support of neuroscience drug development. The proposed business model for neurological clinics consists of a base service fee for licensing the product and a per use fee based on volume. The proposed business model for pharmaceutical companies will be tailored to each customer based on the volume and costs associated to provide such services. In order to commercially launch to the medical community, the company has hired sales staff, conducted soft launches into a number of strategic accounts and plans to continue marketing efforts to secure new accounts. In 2025, the company will focus on targeted outreach and client engagement to commercialize the BNA Platform in the clinics segment. Using its database of potential customers, the company will identify key targets in select markets and connect with them through personalized emails and calls to schedule meetings with decision-makers. The sales team, equipped with marketing materials, case studies, peer-reviewed publications, and knowledge gained from our current research partners, are focused on presenting the platform’s benefits and practical applications during these meetings. Follow-up efforts, including addressing questions and offering support by our Neurological Team, will aim to build strong client relationships and drive adoption of the platform.
The clinical utility of EEG technology to support better outcomes for patients with mental illnesses and cognitive disorders has been well documented. Historically, clinical adoption of EEG by medical professionals, including psychiatrists, neurologists, nurse practitioners and general practitioners, has been limited due to the complexity of interpreting EEG recordings and the inability to practically compare a patient’s brain function to that of a clinically normal age-matched patient. Firefly believes that without defining a standard deviation to the norm, it is not possible to objectively assess brain function. By establishing an objective baseline measurement of brain function, the BNA Platform enables clinicians to optimize patient care, leading to improved outcomes for people suffering from mental illnesses and cognitive disorders.
Our value proposition is supported by real-world use of the BNA Platform. Incorporating the BNA Platform as part of a patient management protocol demonstrated improved response rates, enhanced therapy compliance, reduced non-responder rates and a reduction in need for medication switching among patients. Further, we believe that our extensive clinical database, when combined with advanced AI, provides the opportunity to identify clinically relevant biomarkers that will support better patient outcomes through precision medicine and companion diagnostics. We expect to gather additional data through the clinical deployments and clinical studies conducted by drug companies. This additional data may allow us to discover new biomarkers and objectively measure the impact of therapeutic interventions on patients of different types, further enhancing our platform’s effectiveness. We believe that we will be able to enhance accurate diagnosis and predict what therapy or drug, or a combination thereof, may be best suited to optimize patient outcomes. This represents a paradigm shift in how clinicians manage patients with mental illnesses and cognitive disorders holding the potential to transform brain health.
Recent Developments
Acquisition
On April 30, 2025, we acquired all outstanding stock of Evoke Neuroscience, Inc. (“Evoke”), a privately held company which provides customers with a package of hardware and software to measure the electrical activity of the brain. The consideration transferred of approximately $6,000 and consists of $3,000 in cash and 857,149 shares of our common stock valued at $3.50 per share.
Warrants Exercises
During the week of February 21, 2025, we received total proceeds of $8,825 from the exercise of warrants to purchase 823,530 shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”), at an exercise price of $6.83, and warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of commons stock, at an exercise price of $4.00, respectively. The warrants were issued pursuant to private placements that closed on August 12, 2024, and December 20, 2024, and no new warrants were issued by the Company as a result of the exercises.
Units Offering
On March 28, 2025, we entered into a private placement subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Subscribers”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell 547,737 of units (each a “Unit” and, collectively the “Units”), at a purchase price of $3.00 per Unit (the “Units Offering”). Each Unit consists of (i) either (A) one share of common stock or (B) a prefunded warrant to purchase common stock to the extent that acquiring the shares of common stock instead of such prefunded warrants would have caused the Subscriber to own in excess of 4.99% of the shares of outstanding common stock on a post-issuance basis and (ii) one common stock purchase warrant to purchase common stock over thirty-six (36) months at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. On the same date, the closing under the Subscription Agreement occurred, and we issued the Units to the Subscribers.
Financial Operations Overview
Revenue
Revenue consists of BNA testing, equipment rental and the undertaking of projects and/or clinical studies. In the future, we plan to generate revenue through two segments: through the use of BNA Platform by neurologists in the United States and through collaborations with pharmaceutical companies in support of neuroscience drug development.
Operating Expense
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expenses represent costs incurred to conduct research and development, such as the development of the BNA Platform. We recognize all research and development costs as they are incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of the following:
● |
salaries and benefits; |
● |
consulting arrangements; and |
● |
other expenses incurred to advance our research and development activities. |
The largest component of our operating expenses has historically been the investment in research and development activities. We expect to continue to incur research and development expenses as we continuously update and maintain the BNA Platform. It is likely that we will continue to evaluate opportunities and strategic partnerships to acquire or license other products and technologies, which may result in higher research and development expenses due to licensing fees and/or integrations.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses consist of employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel, clinical fees and other marketing functions, as well as fees paid for consulting services.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist of employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and noncash stock-based compensation, and other administrative functions, as well as fees paid for legal, and accounting services, consulting fees and facilities costs not otherwise included in research and development expense. Legal costs include general corporate legal fees and patent costs. We expect to incur additional expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq, additional insurance, investor relations and other administrative expenses and professional services.
Other (Income) Expense
Other (income) expense consists primarily of interest bank fees and loan fees, foreign exchange gain or loss and penalties.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and the disclosure of our contingent liabilities in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
See Note 3 to our financial statements elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, as well as our previously filed Annual Report for information about our significant accounting policies and how estimates are involved in the preparation of our financial statements. We believe the following reflect the critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $43, as compared to $12, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $31, or 258%. The increase is primarily due to increased customers, BNA scans per customer and revenue from the clinical studies.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $312, as compared to $289 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $23, or 8%. The increase was primarily due to management options vesting in connection with the consummation of the Merger in 2024.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $208, as compared to $249 for the for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of $41, or 16%. The decrease was primarily due to two main drivers: (i) a reduction in travel by the sales team representing 45% or the decrease and (ii) a reduction in consultant use representing 51% of the decrease.
General and Administration Expenses
General and administration expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $1,588, as compared to $565 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $1,023, or 181%. The increase was primarily due to four main drivers: (i) management options and other compensation vesting in connection with the consummation of the merger representing 12%, (ii) Company insurance representing 15% of the increase (iii) audit and accounting fees representing 35% of the increase, and (iv) investor relations costs representing 15% of the increase.
Other Income (Expense)
Other Income (Expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $(10,865), as compared to $(31) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase in expenses of $10,834. The primary reason for the increase relates to the revaluation and settlement of the convertible note.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the next 12 months, we expect to continue to incur negative cash flows from operations as we continue to make targeted investments in sales and marketing and research and development of our next generation BNA Platform. On April 30, 2025, we acquired all outstanding stock of Evoke, the consideration transferred of approximately $6,000 and consists of $3,000 in cash and 857,142 shares of our common stock.
Beyond the next 12 months, our ability to achieve profitability depends on the commercialization of our flagship product, the BNA Platform. We expect to incur significant costs for at least two to four years to commercialize and distribute our products, and we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue our research and development and expand our production capabilities, as needed. As a result, we will require significant capital to support our ongoing operations and to drive our business strategy before we can be profitable which raises substantial doubt.
Until we can generate adequate revenues from the sale of our products to cover our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity, debt financing, or other sources. There can be no guarantee that debt or equity financings will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Additionally, we may be unable to further pursue our business plan, and we may be unable to continue operations. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2024, states that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The estimates and assumptions underlying our belief in the sufficiency of our capital resources in the short term and our ability to obtain capital resources in the long term may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our capital resources sooner than we expect and may not be able to obtain resources on favorable terms, or at all.
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to the three months ended March 31, 2024

Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $2,511, as compared to $1,319 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $1,192, or 90%. This increase in net cash used in operating activities is primarily due to an increase in day-to-day operating costs and a reduction in Trade Payables.
Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $7, as compared to $131 used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily attributed to minimal product enhancements being made in the quarter.
Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided from financing activities was $10,300, as compared to $945 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $9,308, or 985%. The increase was primarily due to the exercise of warrants in February 2025.
Recent Financings
Warrants Exercises
Over the week of February 21, 2025, we received total proceeds of $8,825 from the exercise of warrants to purchase 823,530 shares of the common stock, at an exercise price of $6.83, and warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of commons stock, at an exercise price of $4.00, respectively. The warrants were issued pursuant to private placements that closed on August 12, 2024, and December 20, 2024, and no new warrants were issued by the Company as a result of the exercises.
Units Offering
On March 28, 2025, we entered into the Subscription Agreement with the Subscribers, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell 547,737 of Units, at a purchase price of $3.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of (i) either (A) one share of common stock or (B) a prefunded warrant to purchase common stock to the extent that acquiring the shares of common stock instead of such prefunded warrants would have caused the Subscriber to own in excess of 4.99% of the shares of outstanding common stock on a post-issuance basis and (ii) one common stock purchase warrant to purchase common stock over thirty-six (36) months at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. On the same date, the closing under the Subscription Agreement occurred, and we issued the Units to the Subscribers.
Known Trends, Events, and Uncertainties
As with other companies that are in our industry, we will need to successfully manage normal business and scientific risks. Research and development of new technologies is, by its nature, unpredictable. We cannot assure you that our technology will be adopted, that we will ever earn revenues sufficient to support our operations, or that we will ever be profitable. In addition, the emergence and effects of public health crises, such as endemics and epidemics are difficult to predict, changes in Economic and trade policies could have a material and significant impact and the consequences of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, including related sanctions and countermeasures and the effects of such war on our employees in Israel, are difficult to predict, and could adversely impact geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions, the global economy, and contribute to increased market volatility, which may in turn adversely affect our business and operations. Furthermore, other than as discussed in this Form 10-Q, we have no committed source of financing and may not be able to raise money as and when we need it to continue our operations. If we cannot raise funds as and when we need them, we may be required to severely curtail, or even to cease, our operations.
Other than as discussed above and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, we are not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that are likely to have a material effect on our financial condition.

Not applicable
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and we apply our judgment in evaluating whether the benefits of the controls and procedures that we adopt outweigh their costs.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, an evaluation as of March 31, 2025, was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2025 were not effective for the reasons stated below.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets: (ii) provide reasonable assurance (a) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies (b) our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors: and (c) regarding the prevention or timely detection of the unauthorized acquisition use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As of March 31, 2025, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective for the reasons stated in the following paragraph.
During our evaluations of internal controls, we concluded that material weaknesses exist in our internal controls over financial reporting as outlined below. These material weaknesses did not result in any identified misstatements and there were not changes to previously reported financial results.
(i) The Company does not have adequate Information Technology General Controls ("ITGCs") or related Information Produced by Entity (IPE) Controls resulting in transactional risk and subsequent downstream reporting risks;
(ii) The Company does not have a segregation of duties to ensure information is consistently reviewed and approved by someone other than the preparer;
This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Quarterly Report.
Remediation Plan for the Material Weaknesses
Management is committed to the remediation of the material weakness described above beginning this quarter and into the remainder of 2025. Management has implemented and will continue to implement measures designed to ensure that the control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively.
Remediation efforts include but are not limited to (a) developing, documenting and enhancing processes surrounding ITGCs, and (b) hiring / contracting additional resources to support the financial reporting process.
Management will test and evaluate the implementation of internal controls and revised processes to ascertain whether they are designed and operating effectively to provide reasonable assurance that they will prevent or detect a material error in our financial statements.
PART II— OTHER INFORMATION
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not currently aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.
There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the 2024 Annual Report with the exception of the Risk Factors added below.
We have engaged, and may continue to engage, in strategic acquisitions or transactions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Acquisitions involve a number of risks, including diversion of management’s attention, ability to finance the acquisition on attractive terms, failure to retain key personnel or valuable customers, legal liabilities, the need to amortize acquired intangible assets, and intellectual property ownership and infringement risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Any additional future acquisitions may also result in the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance of additional equity securities.
We could also experience financial or other setbacks if transactions encounter unanticipated problems, including problems related to governmental approval, execution, integration or underperformance relative to prior expectations. Acquisitions may not result in long-term benefits to us or we may not be able to further develop the acquired business in the manner we anticipated.
Following the completion of acquisitions, we may have to rely on the seller to provide administrative and other support, including financial reporting and internal controls, and other transition services to the acquired business for a period of time. There can be no assurance that the seller will do so in a manner that is acceptable to us.
We may not realize the anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions and integration of these acquisitions may disrupt our business.
In April 2025, we acquired Evoke Neuroscience Inc ("Evoke"), On April 30, 2025, we completed the acquisition of the Evoke Neuroscience Inc ("Evoke"), which resulted in our acquisition of the Evoke business and a significant expansion of our business operations and headcount. In the future, we may acquire additional companies, project pipelines, products, or technologies, or enter into joint ventures or other strategic initiatives. Our ability as an organization to integrate acquisitions is unproven. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions or any other future acquisition or the acquisition may be viewed negatively by customers, financial markets or investors.
Any acquisition has numerous risks, including, but not limited to, the following:
● |
difficulty in assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired company; |
● |
difficulty in effectively integrating the acquired technologies or products with current products and technologies; |
● |
difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures and policies during the transition and integration; |
● |
disruption of ongoing business and distraction of management and employees from other opportunities and challenges due to integration issues; |
● |
difficulty integrating the acquired company’s accounting, management information and other administrative systems; |
● |
inability to retain key technical and managerial personnel of the acquired business; |
● |
inability to retain key customers, vendors, and other business partners of the acquired business; |
● |
inability to achieve the financial and strategic goals for the acquired and combined businesses; |
● |
incurring acquisition-related costs or amortization costs for acquired intangible assets that could impact operating results; |
● |
failure of due diligence processes to identify significant issues with product quality, legal and financial liabilities, among other things; |
● |
inability to assert that internal controls over financial reporting are effective; and |
● |
inability to obtain, or obtain in a timely manner, approvals from governmental authorities, which could delay or prevent such acquisitions. |
● |
inability to rebuild trust with home builders due to the SunPower bankruptcy. |
● |
inability to obtain advantageous financing arrangements with financiers in order to pass the saving on to customers. |
