Business Combination
The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the separate historical financial statements of Vemanti Group Inc. (“Vemanti” or “Company”) and VoiceStep LLC. (“VoiceStep”) and give effect to the Recission Agreement, including pro forma assumptions and adjustments related to the Recission Agreement, as described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2024, is presented as if the rescission transactions had occurred on January 1, 2024. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, gives effect to the Recission Agreement, as if it had been completed on January 1, 2024. The historical financial information has been adjusted on a pro forma basis to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the Recission Agreement and, with respect to the Condensed Combined Statement of Operations only, expected to have a continuing impact on consolidated results of operations.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations does not include the effects of the costs associated with any integration or restructuring activities resulting from the Recission Agreement, as they are nonrecurring in nature. However, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet includes a pro forma adjustment to reduce cash and stockholders’ equity to reflect the payment of certain anticipated Recission Agreement costs.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of the financial information of Vemanti and VoiceStep, adjusted to give effect to the Recission Agreement and other events contemplated by the Recission Agreement.
Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.
The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the rescission transactions are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that Vemanti believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. Vemanti believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all the significant effects of the rescission transactions based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the rescission transactions taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Combined Company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Vemanti and VoiceStep.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
The Recission Agreement and the transfer of VoiceStep back to Vemanti has been accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations, as the assets acquired do meet the definition of a business. Hence, the Company allocates the purchase price of the acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. If the purchase price is less than the fair value of net assets acquired, the “negative goodwill” is treated as a purchase gain in the income statement. Acquisition related expenses and integration costs are expensed as incurred.
2. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an illustrative understanding of Vemanti upon consummation of the rescission transactions in accordance with GAAP. Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are described in the accompanying notes.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the rescission transactions occurred on the dates indicated, and does not reflect adjustments for any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings. Any cash proceeds remaining after the consummation of the rescission transactions and the other related events contemplated by the Rescission Agreement are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of Vemanti following the completion of the rescission transactions. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed. Vemanti and VoiceStep have not had any historical relationship prior to the rescission transactions. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.
Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the rescission transactions occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of Vemanti following the completion of the rescission transactions. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent Vemanti management’s estimates based on information available as of the dates of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.
The pro forma basic and diluted income per share amounts presented in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations are based upon the number of the Combined Company’s shares outstanding, assuming the Rescission Agreement occurred on January 1, 2024 for the September 30, 2024 pro forma.
3. Loss per share
Loss per share represents the income per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Rescission Agreement, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2024 for the September 30, 2024 loss per share. As the Rescission Agreement and related equity transactions are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income per share assumes that any shares issuable relating to the Rescission Agreement have been outstanding for the entirety of all periods presented.
| 5 |
|---|
4. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocations
The preliminary purchase price for VoiceStep has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for purposes of this pro forma financial information based on their estimated relative fair values. The purchase price allocations are preliminary. The final purchase price allocations for VoiceStep will be determined after completion of a thorough analysis to determine the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed but in no event later than one year following completion of the transactions contemplated by the Rescission Agreement. Accordingly, the final rescission transaction accounting adjustments could differ materially from the accounting adjustments included in the pro forma financial statements presented here. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as compared to the information shown, could also change the portion of purchase price allocable to goodwill and could impact the operating results of the Company following the merger due to differences in purchase price allocation, depreciation and amortization related to some of these assets and liabilities.
Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The acquisition of VoiceStep is being accounted for as a business combination under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805. The following information summarizes the provisional purchase consideration and preliminary allocation of the fair values assigned to the assets at the purchase date:
| Preliminary Purchase Price: | |||
