Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Datavault AI Inc.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Datavault AI Inc. (formerly WiSA Technologies, Inc.) (a Delaware Corporation) and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, convertible redeemable preferred stock and stockholders’ equity(deficit), and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Uncertainty

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses from operations, a net capital deficiency, available cash and cash used in operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Asset Acquisition – Valuation of Intangible Assets

As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on December 31, 2024, the Company completed its asset purchase of information technology assets, patents, and trademarks from Data Vault Holdings Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $92 million. The acquisition of the assets from Data Vault Holdings was complex due to significant estimates required by management to determine the fair value of the intangible assets. The determination of the fair value of the intangible assets acquired required management to utilize the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist and to make significant estimates and assumptions including projected revenues, growth rates, economic lives, discount rates and financial projections.

We identified the valuation of intangible assets resulting from the asset acquisition as a critical audit matter given the especially challenging auditor judgment required in evaluating the inputs and assumptions used in determining fair value of the intangible assets. Changes in significant assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the intangible assets.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

Our audit procedures related to the accounting for valuation of intangible assets acquired to address this critical audit matter included the following:

●We utilized our valuation specialist to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of the Company’s valuation models developed for acquired intangible assets and evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used including the projected revenues, growth rates, economic life and discount rate as compared to industry and market data. We also examined the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the significant assumptions and estimates used in the third-party valuation report, including historical and projected financial information.
●We tested the Company’s accounting treatment and disclosures regarding the asset acquisition including reading the terms of the asset acquisition related agreements and evaluating the Company’s application of technical accounting literature regarding initial recognition of the intangible assets acquired and the direct transaction costs incurred.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016.
