EXPLANATORY NOTE

Mission Advancement Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021 (this “Quarterly Report”) to amend and restate certain terms in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 9, 2021 (the “Original Quarterly Report”).

The Company has re-evaluated the Company’s application of ASC 480-10-S99-3A to its accounting classification and presentation of the redeemable Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Public Shares”), issued as partand 8,625,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) on March 5, 2021. Historically, a portion of the Public Shares were classified as permanent equity to maintain stockholders’ equity greater than $5,000,000 on the basis that the Company will not redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, as described in the Company’s amendedregistrant issued and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”). Pursuant to such re-evaluation, the Company’s management has determined that the Public Shares include certain redemption provisions that require classification of all of the Public Shares as temporary equity regardless of the net tangible assets redemption limitation contained in the Charter. In addition, in connection with the change in presentation for the Public Shares, the Company determined it should restate its earnings per share calculation to allocate income and losses shared pro rata between the two classes of common stock. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination (as defined in the Charter) as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of common stock share pro rata in the income and losses of the Company.outstanding.

Therefore, on December 17, 2021, the Company’s management, together with the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee”), concluded that the Company’s previously issued (i) audited balance sheet as of March 5, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 11, 2021; (ii) unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2021 contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021; (iii) unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2021 contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 12, 2021 and (iv) unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2021 contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 9, 2021(collectively, the “Affected Periods”), should be restated to report all Public Shares as temporary equity and should no longer be relied upon. As such, the Company will restate its financial statements for the Affected Periods in this Form 10-Q/A.

The restatement does not have an impact on the Company’s cash position and cash held in the trust account established in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Trust Account”).

The financial information that has been previously filed or otherwise reported is superseded by the information in this Quarterly Report, and the financial statements and related financial information contained in such previously filed reports should no longer be relied upon.

In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have provided new certifications dated as of the date of this filing in connection with this Quarterly Report (Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2).

 

Internal Control Considerations

In connection with the restatement, management has re-evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021. The Company’s management has concluded that, in light of the errors and the restatement described above, a material weakness exists in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Management plans to enhance the system of evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that apply to our financial statements, including enhanced training of our personnel and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding application of complex financial instruments. For a discussion of management’s consideration of our disclosure controls and procedures, internal controls over financial reporting, and the material weaknesses identified, see Part I, Item 4, “Controls and Procedures” of this Quarterly Report.

Items Amended in This Quarterly Report

For the convenience of the reader, this Quarterly Report sets forth the Original Quarterly Report in its entirety, as amended to reflect the restatement. No attempt has been made in this Quarterly Report to update other disclosures presented in the Original Quarterly Report, except as required to reflect the effects of the restatement. The following items have been amended as a result of the restatement:

Part I – Item 1. Interim Financial Statements.

Part I – Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Part I1 – Item 6. Exhibits.

Except as described above, this Quarterly Report does not amend, update or change any other items or disclosures contained in the Original Quarterly Report. Accordingly, this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Original Quarterly Report and the Company’s other filings with the SEC. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Quarterly Report.

This Quarterly Report does not reflect adjustments for events occurring after November 9, 2021, the date of the filing of the Original Quarterly Report, except to the extent they are otherwise required to be included and discussed herein and did not substantively modify or update the disclosures herein other than as required to reflect the adjustments described above. This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s reports filed with the SEC since the date of filing of the Original Quarterly Report and all of the Company’s filings after the date hereof.

MISSION ADVANCEMENT CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations

 

Organization and General

 

Mission Advancement Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on December 22, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”).combination. The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination.business combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

As of September 30, 2021,2022, the Company had not yet engaged in any operations or generated any revenues to date. All activity through September 30, 2021,2022, relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) described belowinitial public offering (described below) and identifying a target company for our initial business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO.

 

Financing

 

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on March 3, 2021 (the “Effective Date”).2, 2021. On March 5, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 34,500,000 units, (the “Units” and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units being offered, the “public share”), at $10.00 per Unit,unit, generating gross proceeds of $345,000,000, which is discussed in Note 4.3.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 5,933,333 private placement warrants, (the “Private Placement Warrant”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant,private placement warrant, which is discussed in Note 5.4.

 

Transaction costs amounted to $19,634,742 consisting of $6,900,000 of underwriting fee, $12,075,000 of deferred underwriting fee and $659,742 of other offering costs. Of the total transaction costcosts $864,511 was expensed as non-operating expenses in that statementthe statements of operations with the rest of the offering cost charged to stockholders’temporary equity. The transaction costs were allocated based on the relative fair value basis, compared to the total offering proceeds, between the fair value of the public warrant liabilities and the Class A common stock.

 

Trust Account

 

Following the closing of the IPO on March 5, 2021, an amount of $345,000,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Unitsunits in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrantsprivate placement warrants was placed in athe trust account, (“Trust Account”) which is invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the private placement units will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation,charter, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

 


 

 

Initial Business Combination

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination.

 

The Company’s business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below)trust account (net of taxes payable) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a business combination. However, the Company will only complete a business combination if the post-business combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a business combination.

 

The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial business combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Accounttrust account (initially $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Accounttrust account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations).

 

The shares of common stock subject to redemption is recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”Equity” (“ASC 480”). In such case, the Company will proceed with a business combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of a business combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination.

 

The Company will havehas until March 5, 2023, 24 months from the closing of the IPO, (with the ability to extend with stockholder approval) to consummate a business combination (the “Combination Period”).combination. However, if the Company is unable to complete a business combination within the Combination Period, the Company will redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account,trust account, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to the Company, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law and as further described in the registration statement, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate.

 

The Company’s sponsor, Mission Advancement Sponsor LLC, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their (x) founder shares, (y) shares underlying their private placement shareswarrants (“private placement shares”) and (z) public shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation,charter, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within the Combination Period.

  

The Company’s sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked its sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether its sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Company’s sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

 


 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2021,2022, the Company had cash outside the Trust Accounttrust account of $269,684$132,012 available for working capital needs. Allneeds, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, $320,500 in the trust account was withdrawn to pay taxes. As of September 30, 2022, all remaining cash held in the Trust Account aretrust account is generally unavailable for the Company’s use, prior to an initial business combination, and is restricted for use either in a Business Combinationbusiness combination or to redeem common stock. As of September 30, 2021, none of the amount in the Trust Account was available to be withdrawn as described above.

 

Through September 30, 2021,2022, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the founder shares and the remaining net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Units.private placement warrants.

Going Concern

 

The Company anticipates that the $269,684$132,012 held outside of the Trust Accounttrust account as of September 30, 2021, will2022, might not be sufficient to allow the Company to operate for at leastuntil March 5, 2023, the next 12 months from the issuanceend of the financial statements,Combination Period, assuming that a Business Combinationbusiness combination is not consummated during that time. Until consummation of its Business Combination,business combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account,trust account, and any additional Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 6) from the initial stockholders, the Company’s officers and directors, or their respective affiliates (which is described in Note 6)5), for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.business combination.

 

The Company can raise additional capital through Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 6) from the initial stockholders, the Company’s officers, directors, or their respective affiliates (which is described in Note 6)5), or through loans from third parties. None of the Sponsor,sponsor, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. 

 

The Company has until March 5, 2023, 24 months from the closing of the IPO, to consummate a business combination. It is uncertain that we will be able consummate a business combination within the Combination Period. If a business combination is not consummated within the Combination Period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance ASU Topic 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”, management has determined that mandatory liquidation, and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a business combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after March 5, 2023.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Management is continuing to evaluatecurrently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic onand the industryRussia-Ukraine war and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus and war could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or the Company’s ability to consummatesearch for a Business Combination,target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might resultsresult from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Note 2 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

In the Company’s previously issued financial statements, a portion of the public shares were classified as permanent equity to maintain stockholders’ equity greater than $5,000,000 on the basis that the Company will consummate its initial business combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001. Thus, the Company can only complete a merger and continue to exist as a public company if there is sufficient Public Shares that do not redeem at the merger and so it is appropriate to classify the portion of its public shares required to keep its stockholders’ equity above the $5,000,000 threshold as “shares not subject to redemption.”

However, management re-evaluated the Company’s application of ASC 480-10-99 to its accounting classification of public shares. Upon re-evaluation, management determined that the public shares include certain provisions that require classification of the public shares as temporary equity regardless of the minimum net tangible asset required by the Company to complete its initial business combination.

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements;” the Company evaluated the changes and has determined that the related impacts were material to the previously presented financial statements. Therefore, the Company, in consultation with its Audit Committee, concluded that its previously issued financial statements impacted should be restated to report all public shares as temporary equity. As such the Company is restating those periods in this Form 10-Q/A.

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in unaudited condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectusForm 10-K for its Initial Public Offeringthe year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on March 5, 2021, as well asApril 1, 2022, which contains the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K.audited financial statements and notes thereto. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 20212022 or for any future interim periods.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business StartupsJOBS Act, of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, 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)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 unaudited condensed 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.

  

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 


Cash and Cash EquivalentsInflation Reduction Act of 2022

 

On August 16, 2022, the IR Act was signed into federal law. The Company considers all short-term investmentsIR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The Treasury Department has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. The IR Act applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with an original maturitya Redemption Event may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Redemption Event would depend on a number of three monthsfactors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Redemption Event, (ii) the structure of the business combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or less when purchasedother equity issuances in connection with the business combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with the Redemption Event but issued within the same taxable year of the business combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury Department. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by us, and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to be cash equivalents.complete a business combination and in our ability to complete a business combination.

 

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

 

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Trust Accounttrust account had $345,011,666$346,698,074 and $345,018,988 held in marketable securities.securities, respectively. During period January 1, 2021 tothe nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company did not withdraw any of interest incomewithdrew $320,500 and $0 from the Trust Accounttrust account to pay its tax obligations.obligations, respectively. Marketable securities held in trust account are classified as “Held-for-Trading Securities” and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in earnings of the current period.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk


 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has not experienced losses on this account.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”480. Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock areis classified as stockholders’ equity.deficit. The Company’s common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 34,500,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equitydeficit section of the Company’s balance sheet.sheets.

  

Net Income per Common ShareStock

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company’s statements of operations include a presentation of income per share for Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. The contractual formula utilized to calculate the redemption amount approximates fair value. The Class A common stock feature to redeem at fair value means that there is effectively only one class of stock. Changes in fair value are not considered a dividend of the purposes of the numerator in the earnings per share calculation. Net income per share is computed by dividing the pro rata net income between the Class A shares and the Class B shares by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for each of the periods. The calculation of diluted income per share does not consider the effect of the warrants and rights issued in connection with the IPO since the exercise of the warrants and rights are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

 

The Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income per share is the same as basic income per share for the period presented.

 

Below is a reconciliation of the net income per common stock:

Offering Costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A, - “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Public Offeringinitial public offering and that were charged to stockholders’ equitydeficit upon the completion of the IPO. Accordingly, on March 5, 2021, offering costs totaling $19,634,742 have been charged to stockholders’temporary equity (consisting of $6,900,000 of underwriting fee, $12,075,000 of deferred underwriting fee and $659,742 of other offering costs). Of the total transaction costcosts $864,511 was reclassed to expense as a non-operating expense in the statementstatements of operations with the rest of the offering cost charged to stockholders’temporary equity. The transaction costs were allocated based on the relative fair value basis, compared to the total offering proceeds, between the fair value of the public warrant liabilities and the Class A common stock.

  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.

 

Fair Value Measurements

“Fair value” is defined as “the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date”. US GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring 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). These tiers include:

Level 1, defined as “observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets”;

Level 2, defined as “inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active”; and

Level 3, defined as “unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable”.

Derivative warrant liabilitiesWarrant Liabilities

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15.Topic 815-15, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

 


The Company accounts for its 17,433,333 common stock warrants issued in connection with its Initial Public Offering (11,500,000)IPO 11,500,000 and Private Placement (5,933,333)private placement 5,933,333 as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40.Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statementstatements of operations. At the IPO, the Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the initial value of the public warrants and private placement warrants. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company used the quoted stock price in the active market to value the public warrants and a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the private placement warrants with changes in fair value charged to the statementstatements of operations.  

 


Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes“Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed financial statementstatements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it.

 

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interimannual period, disclosure and transition.

ASC 740-270-25-2 requires that an annual effective tax rate be determined and such annual effective rate applied to year to date income in interim periods under ASC 740-270-30-5. Our effective tax rate was 14.11%   and 0.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, and 3.64% and 0.00% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, due to changes in fair value in warrant liability and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.

  

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 20212022, and December 31, 2020.2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction.

 

The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal and state taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

Note 65 — Related Party Transactions

 

Founder Shares

 

On December 29,22, 2020, the Sponsorsponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for the founder shares, 7,187,500 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”).$0.0001. On March 2, 2021, the Company effected a stock dividend of approximately 0.2 shares for each share of Class B common stock outstanding, resulting in the Sponsorsponsor holding on aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares.founder shares.

 

The Company’s initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination and (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction after the Company’s initial business combination that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property; except to certain permitted transferees and under certain circumstances as described herein under “Principal Stockholders — Transfers of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants”.circumstances. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Company’s initial stockholders with respect to any founder shares. The Company refers to such transfer restrictions as the lock-up.“lock-up”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the founder shares will be released from the lockup if the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the company’s initial business combination.

 

On February 11, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 265,000 founder shares to fifteen (15) of the Company’s directors and advisors in recognition of and compensation for their future services to the Company. The assignment of the founders shares to the Company’s directors and advisors is within the scope of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 265,000 founder shares granted to the Company’s directors and advisors was $1,648,300 or $6.22 per share. The founder shares were effectively assigned to the directors and advisors subject to a performance condition (i.e., the consummation of a business combination). Compensation expense related to the founder shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of achievement under the applicable accounting literature. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a business combination is considered probable in an amount equal to the number of founder shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the founder shares. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has not yet entered into any definitive agreements in connection with any business combination. Any such agreements may be subject to certain conditions to closing, such as, for example, approval by the Company’s stockholders. As a result, the Company determined that the consummation of a business combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized.

On September 14, 2022, the terms of the share assignment of the Founders Shares to directors were modified further to include additional restrictions. This modification resulted in the incremental value of $213,000 of the total value of the assignment, or $2.13 per modified share. Modification of the terms of the share assignment to the directors did not impact vesting period of the assigned shares.

Note 98 — Warrants

Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of the Proposed Public OfferingIPO and 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination,business combination, provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination,business combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination,business combination, it will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A common stocks issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration or redemption of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination,business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption for cash:

 

 in whole and not in part;
   
 at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
   
 upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder (the “30-day redemption period”);holder; and
   
 if, and only if, the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing once the warrants become exercisable and ending three business days before the Company sends to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combinationbusiness combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Sharesfounder shares held by the initial stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance), (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combinationbusiness combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combinationbusiness combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day after the day on which it consummates its initial Business Combinationbusiness combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

 


 

 

Note 109 — Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. US GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring 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). These tiers include:

 

 Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

 

 Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

 Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company use the quoted stock price in the active market to value the public warrants and a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the private placement warrants with changes in fair value charged to the statementstatements of operations. The estimated fair value of the private placement warrant liability is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a binomial options pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its shares of common stock based on historical volatility 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 to remain at zero.

 


Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021, other than thethere was a transfer of the Public Warrantspublic warrants from Level 3 to Level 1 due to a valuation of the public warrants valuation using the quoted stock price in the active market.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under “Item 1 Financial Statements”. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Overview

We are a Delaware corporation structured as a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial business combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

On November 10, 2022, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement for the Special Meeting to, among other things, approve proposals to amend the Company’s charter and trust agreement to change the date by which the Company would be required to consummate a business combination from March 5, 2023 to a date to be determined by the board, in its sole discretion, no later than December 30, 2022.

 

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

 

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our initial public offeringIPO and identifying a target company for our initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held in the trust account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $1,886,769, due primarily to a decrease in the fair value of our warrants of $926,390, income tax expense of $309,851, and interest income from the trust account of $1,525,480, partially offset by $255,250 of formation and operating costs, consisting primarily of general and administrative expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $9,303,006, due primarily to a decrease in the fair value of our warrants of $8,562,175, income tax expense of $351,422, and interest income from the trust account of $1,999,536, partially offset by $907,283 of formation and operating costs, consisting primarily of general and administrative expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of $4,179,531 and $11,174,095, respectively.$4,038,765. We incurred $432,811 and $917,827$573,577 of formation and operating costs consisting mostly of general and administrative expenses. We had investment income of $5,210 on our amounts held in Trust and in the fair value of our warrants of $4,607,132.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of $11,006,215. We incurred $1,085,707 of formation and operating costs consisting mostly of general and administrative expenses and offering expense related to warrant issuance of $864,511. We had investment income of $11,666 on our amounts held in Trust.Trust and change in the fair value of our warrants of $12,944,767.


  

We reclassified a portion of the offering costs associated with the IPO originally charged to stockholders’temporary equity, to an expense in the statementstatements of operations in the amount of $864,511 based on a relative fair value basis. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, theThe change in the fair value of the warrants was a decrease in the liability of $926,390 and an increase in the liability of $4,607,132, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The change in the fair value of the warrants was a decrease in the liability of $8,562,175 and an increase in the liability of $12,944,767, respectively.respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2021,2022, we had cash held outside the trust account of $269,684$132,012 available for working capital needs.needs, respectively. All remaining cash held in the trust account is generally unavailable for the Company’sour use, prior to an initial business combination, and is restricted for use either in a business combination or to redeem common stock. As of September 30, 2021,2022, none of the amount in the trust account was available to be withdrawn as described above.

 

Through September 30, 2021, the Company’s2022, our liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the founder shares, and the remaining net proceeds from the initial public offeringIPO and the sale of private placement warrants.

 

On December 1, 2021, we issued the Note to our sponsor in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000. The Company anticipatesNote was issued in connection with advances the sponsor has made, and may make in the future, to us for working capital expenses. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of the Note was $950,000 and $550,000, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. 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.

Going Concern

We anticipate that the $269,684$132,012 held outside of cash outside the trust account as of September 30, 2021, will2022, might not be sufficient to allow the Companyus to operate for at leastuntil March 5, 2023, the next 12 months,end of the Combination Period and the period we have to consummate an initial business combination, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. Until consummation of our business combination, the Companywe will be usinguse the funds not held in the trust account, and any additional Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 6 to our financial statements) from the initial stockholders, the Company’sour officers and directors, or their respective affiliates (which is described in Note 65 to our unaudited condensed financial statements), for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.

 

The CompanyWe can raise additional capital through Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 6 to our financial statements) from the initial stockholders, the Company’sour officers, directors, or their respective affiliates (which is described in Note 65 to our unaudited condensed financial statements) or through loans from third parties. None of the sponsor, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in the Company.us. If the Company iswe are unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The CompanyWe cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’sour ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements.

 

Our Combination Period is until March 5, 2023, meaning we have 24 months from the closing of the IPO, to consummate a business combination. However, if we are unable to complete a business combination within the Combination Period, we will redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law and as further described in the registration statement, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate. There is a possibility that a business combination might not happen within the Combination Period.


 

  

Derivative Warrant LiabilitiesContractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we did not have any long-term debt, capital or operating lease obligations.

We entered into an administrative support agreement pursuant to which we pay our sponsor for office space and secretarial and administrative services provided to members of our management team, in an amount not to exceed $10,000 per month. Since March 5, 2021, we have paid the sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space and administrative support services. Upon completion of the initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. We incurred $30,000 in such fees for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. We incurred $90,000 and $69,677 in such fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to the ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815-15.Topic 815-15, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.

 

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

We issued an aggregate of 17,433,333 warrants in connection with our initial public offeringIPO and private placement, which, are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40.Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, we recognize the warrants as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statementour statements of operations. At the IPO, the Companywe utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the initial value of the public warrants and private warrants. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Companywe used the quoted stock price in the active market to value the public warrants and a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the private warrants with changes in fair value charged to the statementstatements of operations. 

 

Conversion Feature of Promissory Note

On December 1, 2021, we issued the Note to our sponsor. The Note was issued in connection with advances the sponsor has made, and may make in the future, to us for working capital expenses. The lender may elect to convert up to $1,500,000 of the unpaid principal balance of the Note into warrants, each warrant exercisable for one share of our Class A common stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination. This embedded conversion feature is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations. It is valued using the Geske compound valuation model and at both issuance date and September 30, 2022, its value was de minimis.

Recent Accounting Standards

Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.


Factors That May Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial business combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial business combination.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer,Certifying Officers, we conductedcarried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation,the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer haveCertifying Officers concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021,the end of the period covered by this Report, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting regarding the restatements related to accounting for complex financial instruments.

 

The restatements constituteIn Amendment No. 1 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the period ended September 30, 2021, as filed with the SEC on January 10, 2022, we restated our previously filed (i) balance sheet as of March 5, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2021and (ii) unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 contained in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021 and August 12, 2021, respectively. This restatement constitutes a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited interimannual financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

 

RegardingIn addition, during the restatementsfourth quarter of 2021, we determined that deferred legal representation fees should have been recognized as liability and recorded in our statements of operations. Amounts that should have been recognized prior to the Marchfourth quarter of 2021 were recorded as of December 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021 quarterly financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-Qs, as well as the Company’s balance sheet included on the Company’s Form 8-K, these were necessitated by the fact that the Company’s shares are complex equity instruments with certain redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company and thus require Class A common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company had previously classified a portion of the Class A common stock in permanent equity. The Company restated its financial statements to classify all Class A common stock as temporary equity and any related impact, as the threshold in its charter would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus would be required to be disclosed outside of permanent equity.2021. This represented an additional material weakness.

 

It is noted that the non-cash adjustments to the financial statement do not impact the amounts previously reported for our cash and cash equivalents or total assets.


In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessaryhave enhanced our processes to ensureidentify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements including making greater use of third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. We believe our efforts will enhance our controls relating to accounting for complex financial transactions, but we can offer no assurance that our unaudited interim financial statements were preparedcontrols will not require additional review and modification in accordance with U.S. generally acceptedthe future as industry accounting principles.practice may evolve over time.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Other than the changesas discussed above, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 20212022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEMItem 1A. RISK FACTORS.Risk Factors.

 

Not required for a smaller reporting company. However, asAs of the date of this Quarterly Report, other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our (i) Registration Statement, (ii) Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-Q/A for the Company’s final prospectusquarters ended March 31, 2021, September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 5,May 17, 2021, January 10, 2022 and the Company’s quarterly reportAugust 9, 2022, respectively, and (iii) Annual Report on Form 10-Q10-K for the quarteryear ended MarchDecember 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021.April 1, 2022. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or ability to consummate an initial business combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

 

WeA new 1% U.S. federal excise tax could be imposed on us in connection with redemptions by us of our shares in connection with a business combination or other stockholder vote pursuant to which stockholders would have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021. If we are unableright to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.submit their shares for redemption (a “Redemption Event”).

 

We have identified, in lightOn August 16, 2022, the IR Act was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the reclassificationexcise tax is generally 1% of our redeemable Class A commonthe fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock as temporary equity, a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting relatingissuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to our accounting for complex financial instruments. A material weakness is a deficiency,the excise tax. The Treasury Department has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or a combinationavoidance of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting suchthe excise tax. The IR Act applies only to repurchases that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.occur after December 31, 2022.

 

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. Measures to remediate material weaknessesAny redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Redemption Event may be time-consumingsubject to the excise tax. Whether and costlyto what extent we would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Redemption Event would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and there is no assurance that such initiatives will ultimatelyrepurchases in connection with the Redemption Event, (ii) the structure of the business combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the business combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with the Redemption Event but issued within the same taxable year of the business combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury Department. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by us, and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have the intended effects. If we identify any new material weaknessesnot been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limitcash available on hand to complete a business combination and in our ability to prevent or detectcomplete a misstatementbusiness combination.

To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we may, at any time, instruct the trustee to liquidate the securities held in the trust account and instead to hold the funds in the trust account in cash items until the earlier of the consummation of our accountsinitial business combination or disclosures that couldour liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of securities in the trust account, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the trust account, which would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

The funds in the trust account have, since our initial public offering, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a material misstatementmaturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we may, at any time, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the trust account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the trust account and thereafter to hold all funds in the trust account as cash items until the earlier of the consummation of our annualinitial business combination or interim financial statements. the liquidation of the Company. Following such liquidation, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the trust account. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the trust account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted. As a result, any decision to liquidate the securities held in the trust account and thereafter to hold all funds in the trust account in cash items would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

In such case,the event that we may be unabledeemed to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and adversely affect our business and operating results. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measuresbe an investment company, we may take inbe required to liquidate the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.Company.
