NOTE 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operations- DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (continued):

 

d.Initial Business Combination

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the Private Placement are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an initial Business Combination. The initial Business Combination must occur with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on the income accrued in the Trust Account). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully consummate an initial Business Combination.

 

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, will provide its public shareholders the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. However, in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares and the related initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate initial Business Combination.

 

If the Company holds a shareholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an initial Business Combination, a public shareholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two days prior to the general meeting or commencement of the Company’s tender offer, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, the Company’s Public Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

 

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the Closing of the Public Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (continued):

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an initial Business Combination, the Company’s shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the ordinary shares. The Company’s shareholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the ordinary shares, except that the Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, under the circumstances, and, subject to the limitations, described hereinherein.

On February 9, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of the 2022 annual general meeting of the Company (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to amend, by way of special resolution, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from February 19, 2023 to August 19, 2023 (the “Extended Mandatory Liquidation Date”) or such earlier date as may be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

Refer to Notes 4(a) and 9 for information regarding proceeds received by the Sponsor under the Sixth Promissory note, which were deposited into the trust account.

Refer to Note 7(a) for information regarding the partial redemption of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, following the Meeting.

 

e.Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

As of March 31, 2022,2023, the Company had approximately $179$72 thousand of cash and an accumulated deficit of $1,197$1,795 thousand. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standard Codification 205-40, “Going Concern”, the Company will need to obtain additional funds in order to satisfy its liquidity needs in its search for ancurrent endeavors to consummate the Proposed Business Combination, as detailed in Note 1(f), or a different Initial Business Combination. Combination, if the former does not occur.

Since its inception date and through the issuance date of these financial statements, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through an initial capital injection from the Sponsor, followed by net Private Placement proceeds, as well as several withdrawals of the Sponsor promissory notes. Management has determined that it will need to continue to rely and is significantly dependent on the unwithdrawn amounts under the outstanding Sponsor promissory notes, as well as on future promissory notes or other forms of financial support (of which the Sponsor is not obligated to provide). Moreover, the Company has until FebruaryAugust 19, 2023 (hereafter – the Mandatory Liquidation Date) to consummate an Initial Business Combination.Combination, whether the Proposed Business Combination or a different one. If a business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. The Company intends to complete an Initial Business Combination before the Extended Mandatory Liquidation Date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any business combination ahead of the Extended Mandatory Liquidation Date, nor thatwill it will be able to raise sufficient funds to complete an Initial Business Combination. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, for the subsequent twelve months following the issuance date of these condensed financial statements.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

a.Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q.SEC.

 

b.Emerging Growth Company

 

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards.

 

The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

 

This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible, because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

d.Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption

 

As discussed in Note 1, all of the 11,500,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares sold as parts of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature. In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification 480-10-S99-3A “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities”, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. The Company has classified all of the shares sold under the Public Units as subject to possible redemption.

 

Immediately uponRefer to Note 7(a) for information regarding the Closing of the Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from the offering costs allocated to the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption.

As of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the sharespartial redemption of Class A Ordinary Sharesordinary shares subject to possible redemption, reflected onfollowing the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:Meeting.

Accretion to redemption value $2,551,880 
     
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption $115,000,000 

 

e.Net lossprofit (loss) per share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net lossprofit (loss) per share is computed by dividing net lossprofit (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating net lossprofit (loss) per each share –class of shares: the non-redeemable shares, which include the Private Class A ordinary share subject to possible redemption, non-redeemable Class AOrdinary Shares, as defined in Note 7, and the Class B ordinary shares. Accretion associated withshares (hereafter and collectively – Non-Redeemable class A and B ordinary shares); and the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is excluded from Net Loss per Share as the redemption value approximates fair value.redemption.

 

DuringIn order to determine the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021,net profit (loss) attributable to each class, the Company had outstanding warrantsfirst considered the total profit (loss) allocable to purchase upboth sets of shares. This is calculated using the total net profit (loss) less any interest earned on investments held in trust account. Then, the accretion is fully allocated to 5,940,000 shares ofthe Class A ordinary shares. The weighted average of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for both periods presented.subject to redemption.

g.Public WarrantWarrants

 

The Company applied the provisions of ASC 815-40 and classified its public warrants, issued as part of the Public Units as detailed in Note 3, as equity securities.

 

h.Private Warrant liability

 

The Company accounts for the warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification 815 (“ASC 815”), “Derivatives and Hedging”, under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the private warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the private warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the private warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statementstatements of operations. TheRefer to Note 6 for information regarding the model used to estimate the fair value of the Private Warrants (as defined in Note 3) has been estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton model..

 

i.Financial instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

j.Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

k.m.Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of the Accounting Standards Codification 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering”. The Company incurred offering costs in connection with its Public Offering of $334,345. These costs, together with the upfront underwriter discount, of $2,300,000 were allocated between the sale of the Public Units and the Private Units.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

Out of the total amount of offering costs, an amount of $7,599 was allocated to the Private Warrant Liability, and therefore charged as an expense

l.Income tax

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes (hereafter – ASC 740). ASC 740 prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value if it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as non-current in accordance with ASU 2015-17.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% (cumulative probability) likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits under taxes on income (tax benefit).

m.n.Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

 

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price).

 

The fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Basis for Fair Value Measurement

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs to models are observable (including but not limited to quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit risk), either directly or indirectly;

 

Level 3: Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including the Management’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 by level within the fair value hierarchy:

NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued):

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was determined using a binomial model to extract the market’s implied probability for an Initial Business Combination, using the Public Warrant’s market price. Once probability was extracted, a Black-Scholes-Merton model with Level 3 inputs was used to calculate the Private Warrants’ fair value. Inherent in a Black-Scholes-Merton model are assumptions related to expected life (term), expected stock price, volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of selected peer companies’ Class A ordinary shares that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

NOTE 7 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY:CAPITAL DEFICIENCY:

 

a.Ordinary Shares

 

Class A Ordinary Shares

 

On November 20, 2020 the Company issued 100,000 Class A ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value each to designees of the Representative (hereafter – the Representative Shares) for a consideration equal to the par value of the shares. The Representative Shares are deemed to be underwriters’ compensation by FINRA pursuant to Rule 5110 of the FINRA Manual.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 7 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued):

The Company accounted for the issuance of the Representative Shares as compensation expenses amounting to $860, with a corresponding credit to Additional Paid-In Capital, for the excess value over the consideration paid. The Company estimated the fair value of the issuance based upon the price of Class B Ordinary Shares that were issued to the Sponsor.

 

Pursuant to the initial Public Offering and the concurrent Private Placement that were each effected in two closings—closings – on February 19, 2021 and March 3, 2021—2021 – the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 11,500,000 and 380,000 Class A ordinary shares as part of the Units sold in those respective transactions. The Units (which also included Warrants) were sold at a price of $10 per Unit, and for an aggregate consideration of $115 million and $3.8 million in the Public Offering and Private Placement, respectively. See Note 3 above for further information regarding those share issuances.

 

The Company classified its 11,500,000 Public Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption as temporary equity. The remaining 480,000 Private Class A ordinary shares were classified as permanent equity.

NOTE 7 – CAPITAL DEFICIENCY (continued):

In conjunction with the extension proposal, on February 19, 2023, an amount of 8,910,433 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption were redeemed for their redemption value, including accrued interest. As part of the partial redemption approximately $91 million have been withdrawn from the Investments held in Trust Account.

 

Class B Ordinary Shares

 

On November 20, 2020 the Company issued 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value each for a total consideration of $25 thousand to the Sponsor’s wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary. Out of the 2,875,00 Class B ordinary shares, up to 375,000 were subject to forfeiture if the underwriters were to not exercise their over-allotment in full or in part. Because the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full on March 3, 2021, that potential forfeiture did not occur.

 

Class B ordinary shares are convertible into non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares, on a one-for-one basis, at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder, or automatically on the day of the Business Combination. Class B ordinary shares also possess the sole right to vote for the election or removal of directors, until the consummation of an initial Business Combination.Combination.

 

b.Preferred shares

 

The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 Preferred Shares of $0.0001 par value each. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021,2023, the Company has no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

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 condensed financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and our audited financial statements and related notes thereto as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2021,2022, included in the 2021our 2022 Annual Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our initial business combination, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the 2021 Annual Report, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

 

Overview

 

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We completed our initial public offering in February 2021, and since that time, we have engaged in discussions with potential business combination target companies; we have not, however, as of yet, reachedcompanies, and, in June 2022, entered into a definitivebusiness combination agreement with a specific target company with respect to an initial business combination with us.Holisto, as described in “Recent Developments” below in this Item 2. We intend to effectuate our prospective initial business combination using (i) cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placements of the private units, (ii) cash from a new financing involving the sale of our shares and/or other equity, and/or (iii) cash from one or more debt financings, and/or (iv) issuance of shares to target company shareholders.financings.

 

The issuance of additional ordinary shares in a business combination:combination (whether by our company or by the target company that will serve as the new public company following a business combination):

 

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in our initial public offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions of the Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares;offering;

 

may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares if preferred shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A ordinary shares;

could cause a change of control if a substantial number of our ordinary shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our (or the new public company’s) ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our presentthe officers and directors;directors of the public company following the business combination;

 

may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of usthe new public company by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us;it; and

 

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class Athe ordinary shares and/or warrants.warrants of the new public company following the business combination.

Similarly, if we issuethe new public company (following a business combination) issue(s) debt securities or otherwise incurincur(s) significant indebtedness itin connection with the business combination transaction, that could result in:

 

default and foreclosure on ourthe public company’s assets if ourits operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay ourits debt obligations;

 

acceleration of ourthe new public company’s obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we makeit makes all principal and interest payments when due if we breachit breaches certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

 

our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;

 

ourthe public company’s inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting ourits ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is issued and outstanding;

 

ourthe public company’s inability to pay dividends on our ordinaryits shares;

 

using a substantial portion of ourthe public company’s cash flow to pay principal and interest on ourits debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our ordinary shares if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

 

limitations on ourthe public company’s flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in ourits business and in the industry in which we operate;it operates;

 

increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

 

limitations on ourthe public company’s ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of ourits strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to ourits competitors whothat have less debt.

 

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at March 31, 20222023 we had approximately $179$72 thousand of cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,197$1,795 thousand. Although we raised $115 million of gross proceeds, in the aggregate, from our initial public offering in February and March 2021, and an additional $3.8 million of gross proceeds, in the aggregate, from our private placements consummated concurrently with the closings of our initial public offering, weapproximately $90.8 million of the funds in our trust account were paid out as part of the redemption of public shares in connection with the Extension Meeting, leaving approximately $26.8 million in the trust account as of March 31, 2023. We furthermore expect to continue to incur significant costs from our bank account outside of the trust account in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial business combinationthe prospective Holisto Business Combination or a related capital-raise will be successful.

Recent Developments

Extension of Date to Consummate a Business Combination and Sponsor Contribution

On January 5, 2023 and in the period thereafter, we filed with the SEC and distributed to our shareholders a proxy statement in which we notified our shareholders that we would be holding the Extension Meeting for the purpose of considering and voting on, among other proposals: (i) a proposal to approve, by way of special resolution, an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to provide for the Extension— i.e., to extend by six months, from February 19, 2023 to August 19, 2023 (or such earlier date as may be determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion), the deadline by which we would need to consummate an initial business combination (the “Articles Extension Proposal”), (ii) a proposal to amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2021, to which we are party with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, to extend the term of that agreement for a period of six months that corresponds with the Extension under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Trust Extension Proposal”), and (iii) a proposal to approve, by way of ordinary resolution of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares, the re-appointment of each of Ilan Levin, Craig Marshak, Ruth Alon, Michael Basch, and Eric Brachfeld as directors serving on our board of directors until the second succeeding annual general meeting of our company and until their successors are elected and qualified (the “Director Election Proposal”). Each such proposal was described in more detail in the definitive proxy statement related to the Extension Meeting, which we filed with the SEC on January 5, 2023, and which is incorporated by reference herein.

On January 26, 2023, we announced that if the Articles Extension Proposal and the Trust Extension Proposal were to be approved at the Extension Meeting and the Extension implemented, our sponsor or its designees would deposit into the trust account as a loan (a “Contribution”, and the sponsor or its designee making such Contribution, a “Contributor”) on February 19, 2023, and on the 19th day of each subsequent calendar month until the Extension Date, or such earlier date on which our board of directors determines to liquidate the company or an initial business combination is completed, the lesser of (x) $80,000 and (y) $0.04 per public share multiplied by the number of public shares outstanding on such applicable date (each date on which a Contribution is to be deposited into the trust account, a “Contribution Date”). If we consummate an initial business combination or have announced our intention to commence winding up prior to any Contribution Date, the Contributor’s obligation to make Contributions will terminate.

On February 9, 2023, after an adjournment of two days following the originally-designated date for the Extension Meeting, we reconvened the Extension Meeting and our shareholders approved each of the Articles Extension Proposal, Trust Extension Proposal and Director Election Proposal.

Upon approval of the Extension, and based on the sponsor’s commitment to make the Contributions, we issued to the sponsor a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note in a principal amount of up to $480,000, representing the maximum potential amount of all Contributions. The note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, or (b) the date of our liquidation. We have not requested that the sponsor reserve for, nor have we independently verified whether the sponsor will have sufficient funds to satisfy, any Contributions. If a Contributor fails to make a Contribution by an applicable Contribution Date, we will liquidate and dissolve as soon as practicable after such date and in accordance with our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. If we do not consummate an initial business combination by the Extension Date, the promissory note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the trust account or will be forfeited.

In connection with the Extension Meeting, 8,910,433 Class A Ordinary Shares were redeemed, leaving 3,069,567 Class A Ordinary Shares— of which 2,589,567 are public shares— outstanding. As such, approximately 77.5% of the originally outstanding public shares were redeemed and approximately 22.5% of the originally outstanding public shares remain outstanding. After the satisfaction of such redemptions on February 19, 2023, the balance in our trust account was approximately $26.8 million.

Holisto Registration Statement

On September 7, 2022, Holisto filed with the SEC the Holisto Registration Statement, as required under the Holisto Business Combination Agreement. On December 29, 2022, February 7, 2023 and March 31, 2023, Holisto filed with the SEC Amendments No. 1, 2 and 3, respectively, to the Holisto Registration Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, such registration statement, and the amendments thereto, are not incorporated by reference herein.

Unless specifically stated, this Quarterly Report does not give effect to the prospective Holisto Business Combination and does not contain a description of the risks associated with the prospective Holisto Business Combination. Such risks and effects relating to the prospective Holisto Business Combination are described in the Holisto Registration Statement. The Holisto Registration Statement also contains a description of the business, operations, financial condition, management, governance, capitalization and other materials terms related to the combined company following the Holisto Business Combination, as well as information regarding the redemption process and the shareholders’ meeting of Moringa at which the Holisto Business Combination will be brought for approval.

Nasdaq Deficiency Notice

On March 28, 2023, we received a notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department indicating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(3), which requires us to have at least 300 public holders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Notice was only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and had no current effect on the listing or trading of our securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The notice stated that we had 45 calendar days to regain compliance or to submit a plan to regain compliance with the rule. On May 11, 2023, we submitted a plan to regain compliance with the rule. If Nasdaq accepts our plan, Nasdaq may grant us an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notice to evidence compliance with the rule. If Nasdaq does not accept our plan, we will have the opportunity to appeal the decision in front of a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

 

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

 

We have not engaged in any revenue-generating operations to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, preparations for our initial public offering and, subsequent to our initial public offering, searching for, and due diligence related to, potential target companies, with whichand negotiations and preparations related to consummate a business combination transaction.the Holisto Business Combination. We have not and will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on fundsinvestments held in our trust account after our initial public offering. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the DecemberMarch 31, 20212023 date of our audited financial statements contained in our Annualthis Quarterly Report. After our initial public offering, which was consummated in February and March 2021, we have been incurring increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expensesour activities related to our search for a target company.an initial business combination (and the Holisto Business Combination in particular).

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans.

 

In early 2021, prior to the completion of our initial public offering,IPO, our liquidity needs were satisfied from the availability of up to $300,000 in loans from our sponsor under an unsecured promissory note, under which we had initially borrowed $150,000 prior to December 31, 2020 and an additional $20,000 in February 2021. The total $170,000 balance owed under the note was repaid in March 2021 following the closings of our initial public offering.

 

At the time of our initial public offeringIPO in February and March 2021, we raised $116,200,000 of net proceeds from (i) the sale of units to the public in the offering, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $300,000 and underwriting commissions of $2,300,000 (but excluding an advisory fee of $4,025,000) that have been or will be payable to the representative of the underwriters for services to be performed for us in connection with (and subject to the consummation of) our initial business combination transaction, and (ii) the sale of private units for a purchase price of $3,800,000 in the aggregate. Of that $116,200,000 amount, $115,000,000 (including $4,025,000 in potential advisory fees to be payable to the representative of the underwriters for advisory services in connection with our initial business combination transaction) was deposited into a non-interest bearing trust account. The funds in the trust account are invested only in specified U.S. government treasury bills or in specified money market funds. The remaining $1.2 million was not placed in the trust account. As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $26.8 million of investments held in that trust account (which includes Contributions made by the sponsor prior to that date), all of which was invested in Goldman Sachs money market funds. In addition, the sponsor has committed to fund an additional $80,000 to the trust account on the 19th day of each month beginning in February 2023 until (but not including) August 19, 2023, for $480,000 in total, for so long as we have not yet completed an initial business combination or determined to liquidate our company.

We intend to use substantially all of the fundsinvestments held in the trust account (after reduction for payments to redeeming shareholders) including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and excluding potential fees to be payable to the underwriters for advisory services in connection with our initial business combination transaction), to fund our post- business combination company. We may withdraw from the trust interest to pay taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. To the extent that our ordinary shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, or if we are acquired as part of our initial business combination (as is the case in the prospective Business Combination with Holisto), the remaining proceeds held in the trust account (less any amounts paid out to redeeming shareholders) will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.


 

Subsequent to our initial public offering, our working capital needs were initially satisfied primarily by the $1.2 million available to us initially outside our trust account. Subsequently, in August 2021, our sponsor agreed to make available to us up to $1,000,000, which is evidenced by a promissory note that we issued to our sponsor, and which is repayable upon the earlier of FebruaryAugust 19, 2023 (the 24-month,30-month, liquidation deadline for our company) or our consummation of our initial business combination. Of the amounts available under that promissory note, we borrowed $300,000 in December 2021, and an additional $300,000 in January 2022, $50,000 more in June 2022 and the remaining $350,000 that was available in July 2022. The remaining $400,000 isNo amounts remain available to us under that note as of the current time. In addition, we have borrowed an additional $190,000 under two promissory notes that we issued to our sponsor in December 2022, as well as (i) $75,000 borrowed in February 2023, (ii) $50,000 borrowed on March 15, 2023, (iii) $100,000 borrowed on March 30, 2023, and (iv) $75,000 borrowed in April 2023, in each case under a $310,000 promissory note that we issued to our sponsor in February 2023. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, $10,000 remains available to us under that February 2023 promissory note. The sponsor is not required, however, to fund any of that $10,000 amount.

 

As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $72 thousand of cash deposited in our bank account held outside of the trust account. We intend to use thesethose funds and any additional funding that we have subsequently received and may receive and that we hold outside of the trust account primarily towards activities related to our prospective Holisto Business Combination (or any other business combination). Those activities include, in primary liquidity requirements, consisting of identifying and evaluating target businesses, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review of corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses,part, structuring, negotiating and completing a businessthe Holisto Business Combination, securing financing (including commitment fees) for the post-business combination company, paying for administrative and support services, and paying taxes to the extent the interest earned on the trust account is not sufficient to pay our taxes. In addition, we use thesethose funds outside of the trust account for payment of legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements, including Nasdaq and other regulatory fees, and funds for working capital to cover miscellaneous expenses and reserves.

 

We may also use a portion of the funds outside of the trust to pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into an agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision would be determined based on the terms of the specific business combination and the amount of our available funds at the time. Our forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise) could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intendedthe prospective Holisto Business Combination or any other initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us additional funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside of the trust account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans (including the $1,000,000(all of loanswhich has been committed or may be committed to us by our sponsor under the August 2021$1,500,000 principal amount of the various outstanding promissory note)notes) may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private warrants (that are part of the private units) issued to our sponsor. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor, as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.

 

We believe that we willmay need to obtain additional funds in order to satisfy our liquidity needs in our pursuit of an initial business combination. Whilecombination, as we intend to rely uponhave exhausted all but $10,000 of the remaining $400,000 available amounts under the foregoing $1,000,000 promissory note, we donotes. Our sponsor is not believeobligated to fund that such amount will suffice to cover our working capital needs until our initial business combination.$10,000 amount. Our actual working capital needs will depend on when our business combination is consummated.

 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully consummate anthe prospective Holisto Business Combination or any other initial business combination.

It is likely that we will be obligated to redeem a significant number of ouradditional public shares upon completion of our initial business combination, which will reduce the funds from the trust that become available to the surviving company of the business combination. In that case, Holisto (or any other company with which we combine) will likely need to issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with the business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, wethe surviving public company would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. In addition, following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, wethe new public company surviving from the business combination may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet ourits obligations.


 

If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate our trust account, which liquidation would be less than 12 months after the date of this Quarterly Report. That factor, together with our need for additional funds in order to fund operations until our initial business combination, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern”. Please see the explanatory paragraph under the heading “Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” in the opinion of our independent auditor on our audited financial statements, which appears in Item 15 of this Quarterly Report.

Cash provided by operating activities

For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $532 thousand. That cash provided by operating activities reflected our net profit of approximately $313 thousand for the period, as adjusted to reflect the following matters:

an increase in cash, cash equivalents and investments held in trust in order to eliminate (i) a non-cash increase in related party balance of $30 thousand, and (ii) a non-cash $192 thousand increase in accrued expenses that reduced our net profit; and

a decrease in cash, cash equivalents and investments in order to eliminate a non-cash gain of approximately $4.9 thousand attributable to the change in fair value of our private warrants that was included in our net profit.

Cash used in financing activities

For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $90,365 thousand, reflecting cash paid for the partial redemption of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption and funds that we borrowed from our sponsor under the promissory notes that we issued to our sponsor.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2023. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, and administrative and support services, provided to the Company. We began incurring those fees on February 19, 2021 Annual Report.and will continue to incur those fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.

We engaged EarlyBirdCapital as an advisor in connection with our initial business combination to assist in holding meetings with our shareholders to discuss the potential business combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce us to potential investors that are interested in purchasing the surviving public company’s securities in connection with our initial business combination, assist in obtaining shareholder approval for the business combination and assist with press releases and public filings in connection with the business combination. We will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of our initial business combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $4,025,000 (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable).

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Private Warrant Liability

 

Please refer to Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements to our condensed financial statements included in Item 1 for the method and level 3 inputs used for the measurement of the Private Warrant Liability.

 

The risk of exposure is estimated using aNo sensitivity analysis was provided, as the range of potential changes in the significant unobservablereasonably possible inputs primarily the volatility input that is the most susceptible to valuation risk,would not have a material impact on our condensed financial statements taken as well as observable inputs, e.g. the Company's publicly traded warrants. 

An increase or decrease of 10% to the volatility input as of March 31, 2022 would result in an increase of $5.9 thousand or a decrease of $6.8 thousand, respectively, to the estimated fair value of the Company's total Private Warrant Liability balance. Furthermore, an increase or decrease of 10% to the publicly traded warrants' market price input as of March 31, 2022 would result in either an increase or decrease of $6.5 thousand to the estimated fair value of the Company's total Private Warrant Liability balance.whole.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the private units held in the trust account will be invested in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act that maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensurewith the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periodsperiod specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and proceduresare also designed to ensurewith the objective of ensuring that such information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including ourthe chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, whom we refer to as our Certifying Officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022,2023, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act.

Based upon theirthat evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 20222023 because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, our management has concluded that our control around the interpretation and accounting for certain complex features of our Class A ordinary shares and private placement warrants was not effectively designed or maintained. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of our audited financial statement as of March 3, 2021. Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of the warrant liability (for our private placement warrants), Class A ordinary shares and related accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We

Since that time, we have been implementing a number of measures to remediate such material weaknesses; however, as of March 31, 2023 management has not remediated the material weakness. If we are diligently workingunable to improveremediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner or we identify additional material weaknesses, we may be unable to provide required financial information in a timely and reliable manner and we may incorrectly report financial information. The existence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of us, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our shares. We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to thereby remedy thistake in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. Even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations, as described in this Quarterly Report, include the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A, of our 20212022 Annual Report. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to those risk factors, except as described below:

Our search for a business combination, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected by unfavorable macro-economic trends triggered by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic or by the ongoing invasion of the Ukraine by Russia.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has adversely affected the economies and financial markets worldwide, and the business of any potential target business with which we consummate a business combination could be materially and adversely affected. Although the world has, in many regions, developed vaccines and other means that have enabled the resumption of routine daily life and the full re-opening of local and national economies, the pandemic has, in large part, triggered certain macro-economic trends that threaten the improved economic outlook achieved in its aftermath. Specifically, supply chain delays and rising shipping costs, along with significant inflationary pressures due to the infusion of money into circulation as part of a “loose” monetary policy and low interest rates designed to ease economic conditions during the pandemic, now threaten global economic prosperity. The extent to which these trends impact our search for a business combination depends on present and future developments in the industry in which we are searching for target companies, which developments are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

In a similar manner, Russia’s recent invasion of the Ukraine could also have an adverse effect on our ability to consummate a business combination transaction or on the operations of the target business with which we combine. That invasion may result in increased costs of compliance, restrictions on our target business’ ability to sell into specific regions, higher volatility in foreign currency exchange rates, increased use of less cost-efficient resources and negative impacts to our target business. The invasion may also cause a deterioration in general economic conditions, which may adversely impact our access to financing for the combined company upon the consummation of a business combination, thereby frustrating our ability to effect that combination.

If the disruptions posed by unfavorable macro-economic conditions triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine, or other matters of global concern continue for a further extensive period of time, our ability to consummate a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected.factors.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

 

On February 16, 2021, the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-252615) relating to our IPO was declared effective by the SEC. For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our IPO, see Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Operations- Liquidity and Capital Resources of this Form 10-Q.
