7.We note your response to prior comment 8. Considering that Mr. Podolak was not the
CEO of Click Fish Media, please further clarify how Vocodia Holdings Corp. and Click
Fish Media had common operations and were commonly managed at the date of the
acquisition. Clarify the decision making authority that each of Mr. Podolak and Mr.
Sposato had as it relates to the management of Click Fish Media. Also, clarify how these
companies were not operated as if they were autonomous, including whether they shared
common facilities and costs and the degree of intercompany activity. Tell us how these
companies were commonly managed other than sharing management such as whether
CFM provided services to other customers besides Vocodia.
8.Your disclosure on page 48 indicates that in July 2021, you granted 2,000,000 shares of
stock to an employee that vested immediately and management determined the grant date
fair value of the shares based on the most recent price of shares sold in a private sale of
securities and recorded a non-cash compensation expense of $1,000,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2021. Please clarify more specifically the recent shares sold upon
which you based the fair value. In this regard, your disclosure on page F-6 indicates that
during 2021 you issued 207,750 shares of common stock for $4,955,360. That is, it
appears these shares were issued at $23.85 a share. Clarify how you considered the price
of these shares in the determination of fair value for purposes of measuring your stock
based compensation.
9.Your disclosure on page 51 indicates that you recognized non-employee stock based
compensation of $1,826,500 during the year ended December 31, 2022, valued at $1.00
per share prior to September 2022 and valued at $2.06 subsequent to this date. However,
your disclosure on page F-6 indicates that during 2022 you issued 154,429 shares of
common stock for $3,442,214. That is, it appears these shares were issued at $22.29.
Clarify how you considered the price of these shares for purposes of measuring your stock
based compensation.
Note 7 Income Taxes, page F-14
10.We note that your statement of operations on page F-5 does not reflect any income tax
expense or benefit for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. However your
disclosures indicate that you have recognized deferred tax benefits for each period. Refer
to comment 8 from our letter dated January 3, 2023. If there is no income tax expense
(benefit) recognized in your income statement on page F-5, revise your footnote
disclosure to exclude disclosure of components of income tax expense (benefit) for the
years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. In this regard, the net income tax expense
(benefit) reflected in your footnote should agree to the net income tax expense (benefit)
reflected in your income statement on page F-5.
