QOMOLANGMA ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022
Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations
Qomolangma Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”)
is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on May 6, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose
of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more
businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). The Company intends to pursue target businesses that are strategically significant
in the Asian markets and focus on businesses with a total enterprise value of between $300,000,000 and $500,000,000.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had not
commenced any operations. All activities through September 30, 2022 are related to the Company’s formation and the initial public
offering (“IPO” as defined below) and, subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The
Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will
generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December
31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s sponsor is Qomolangma Investments
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
The registration statement for the Company’s
IPO became effective on September 29, 2022. On October 4, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 5,000,000 units at an offering price
of $10.00 per unit (the “Public Units’), generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the
IPO, the Company sold to the Sponsor, in a private placement, 260,500 units, at $10.00 per unit (the “Private Units”), generating
total gross proceeds of $2,605,000, which is described in Note 5.
The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option
to purchase up to 750,000 additional Public Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On October 4, 2022, the underwriter partially exercised
the over-allotment option and purchased 273,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit on October 7, 2022, generating gross
proceeds of $2,730,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the over-allotment option, the Company consummated the private placement of
an additional 8,873 Private Units generating gross proceeds of $88,725.
A total of $53,520,950 ($10.15 per Unit) of the
net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO (including the Over-Allotment Option Units) and the private placements on October 4, 2022
and October 7, 2022, was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) maintained by American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company as a trustee and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market
funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”),
and that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. These funds will not be released until the earlier of the completion
of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation due to the Company’s failure to complete a Business Combination within the
applicable period of time. 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. In addition, interest income earned on the
funds in the Trust Account may be released to the Company to pay its income or other tax obligations. With these exceptions, expenses
incurred by the Company may be paid prior to a Business Combination only from the net proceeds of the IPO and private placement not held
in the Trust Account.
Pursuant to Nasdaq listing rules, the Company’s
initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses having an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80%
of the value of the funds in the Trust account (excluding any deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and taxes payable on the
income earned on the Trust Account), which the Company refers to as the 80% test, at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement
for its initial Business Combination, although the Company may structure a Business Combination with one or more target businesses whose
fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the trust account balance. If the Company is no longer listed on Nasdaq, it will not be
required to satisfy the 80% test. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction 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.
The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding
Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the
completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or
(ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct
a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public
Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.15 per Public Share, plus any pro
rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income
tax obligations).
The Company will proceed with a Business Combination
if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks
stockholder approval, a majority of the shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder
vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company
will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”),
conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender
offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required
by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in
conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public
stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the
Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor and any of the Company’s
officers or directors that may hold Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed (a) to
vote their Founder Shares, the shares underlying the Private Units (“Private Shares”) and any Public Shares purchased during
or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination and (b) not to convert any shares (including the Founder Shares) in connection
with a stockholder vote to approve, or sell the shares to the Company in any tender offer in connection with, a proposed Business Combination.
The Initial Stockholders have agreed (a) to waive
their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares, Private Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion
of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not
complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares
in conjunction with any such amendment.
The Company will
have until 9 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination. In addition, if the Company anticipates that it
may not be able to consummate initial business combination within 9 months, the Company’s insiders or their affiliates may, but
are not obligated to, extend the period of time to consummate a business combination twelve times by an additional month each time (for
a total of 21 months to complete a business combination) (the “Combination Period”). In order to extend the time available
for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Company’s insiders or their affiliates or designees, upon five days’
advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the Trust Account $166,667 ($0.033 per Public Share per month), on
or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each extension.
If the Company is unable to complete a Business
Combination within the Combination Period, 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 certain amount of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption
will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions,
if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of
the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to
the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive
their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Shares, as applicable, if the Company fails to complete a Business
Combination within the Combination Period. However, if any Initial Stockholder acquires Public Shares in or after the IPO, such Public
Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within
the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 7) held
in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event,
such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public
Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution
will be less than $10.15.
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust
Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (excluding the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm) 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) $10.15 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 $10.15 per share due to reductions
in the value of the trust assets, in each case 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 of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover,
in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent
of any liability for such third party claims.
Going Concern
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash
of $55,264 and a working capital deficit (current assets less current liabilities, excluding deferred offering costs) of $209,736. The
Company’s liquidity needs prior to the closing of IPO were satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 for the founder
shares to cover certain offering costs and the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of $200,000 (see Note 5).
The
Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur
significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment
of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined
that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company
is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence
a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate
a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such additional condition
also raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statement does not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Risks and Uncertainties
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared
the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States and
the world. As of the date the financial statements were issued, there was considerable uncertainty around the expected duration of this
pandemic. Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company has concluded that while it is reasonably
possible that COVID-19 could have a negative effect on identifying a target company for a Business Combination, the specific impact is
not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Additionally, as a result of the military action
commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in the country of Ukraine and related economic sanctions, the Company’s
ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business
Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent
on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility,
or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this
action and related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations
and/or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act
of 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 shareholders
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 U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) 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 a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether
and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise
would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business
Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE”
or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination
but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury.
In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company 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 complete a Business
Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.
At this time, it has been determined that none
of the IR Act tax provisions have an impact to the Company's fiscal 2022 tax provision. The Company will continue to monitor for updates
to the Company's business along with guidance issued with respect to the IR Act to determine whether any adjustments are needed to the
Company's tax provision in future periods.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect
all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the
periods presented. They should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on October
14, 2022. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected through December 31, 2022 or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups 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) 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 an 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.
Use of Estimates
In preparing these unaudited condensed financial
statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s management makes 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 expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise
significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances
that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could
change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those
estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments
with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $55,264 and $154,565 in cash
and none in cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of
FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs – SEC Materials” (“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs were $223,530 and $133,000 consisting principally
of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, were included
in the total offering costs of $4,222,030 which were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO on October 4,
2022.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method
of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold
and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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. 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, 2022. 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
is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
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.
The provision for income taxes was nil for the nine months ended September
30, 2022.
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is computed by dividing net
loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding shares of common stock subject
to forfeiture by the Initial Stockholders. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 187,500 shares of common
stock that are subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters (see Note 5). At September
30, 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into
shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per
share for the period presented. As a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on October 4, 2022,
68,250 shares of common stock were no longer subject to forfeiture.
The
Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The unaudited condensed statements
of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per redeemable share and income (loss) per non-redeemable share following the two-class
method of income per share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable
shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares
and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed
income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any
remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the common shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends
paid to the public shareholders.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments
that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution and money market
funds held in the Trust Account. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed
to significant risks on such account.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 825, “Financial
Instruments,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due
to their short-term nature.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants (Public Warrants
or Private Warrants) as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific
terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC
815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition
of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including
whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net
cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This
assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly
period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all
of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance.
For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded
as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair
value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The Company determined that upon further
review of the warrant agreement, management concluded that the Public Warrants and Private Warrants to be issued pursuant to the warrant
agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject
to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” 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 is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption
upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other
times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that
are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common
stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section
of the Company’s balance sheet.
The Company has made a policy election in accordance
with ASC 480-10-S99-3A and recognizes changes in redemption value in accumulated deficit over an expected 9-month period leading up to
a Business Combination.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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) (“ASU 2020-06”)
to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial
conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining
to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible
debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings
per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective
January 1, 2024 for the Company and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning
on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed
financial statements.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
Pursuant to its IPO On October 4, 2022, the Company
sold 5,000,000 Public Units at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters
a 45-day option to purchase up to 750,000 additional Public Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On October 7, 2022, the underwriter
partially exercised the over-allotment option and purchased 273,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross
proceeds of $2,730,000. Each Public Unit consists of one share of common stock (“Public Share”), one right (“Public
Right”) and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Right will convert into one-tenth (1/10) of one share
of common stock upon the consummation of a Business Combination. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common
stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days following
the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO, and will expire five years
after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
All of the 5,273,000 Public Shares sold as part
of the Public Units in the IPO (including over-allotment units) contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public
Shares if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments
to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or in connection with the Company’s liquidation. In accordance
with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions
not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.
The Company’s redeemable common stock is
subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable
that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the
period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the
earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying
amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has made a policy election in
accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A and recognizes changes in redemption value in accumulated deficit over an expected 9-month period leading
up to a Business Combination.
Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the
Sponsor purchased 260,500 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $2,605,000 in a private
placement. Simultaneously with the closing of the over-allotment option, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 8,873 Private
Units with the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $88,725. Each Private Unit consists of one
share of common stock (“Private Share”), one right (“Private Right”) and one redeemable warrant (“Private
Warrant”). Each Private Right will convert into one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon the consummation of a Business
Combination. Each Private Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to
adjustment. The Private Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants except that the Private Warrants and the shares of common stock
issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business
Combination. The net proceeds from the Private Units were added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company
does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Units will be used to
fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Units and all underlying securities
will expire worthless.
Note 5 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On September 25, 2021, the Company issued 1,437,500
shares of common stock (the “Founder Shares ”) to the Initial Stockholders for an aggregate consideration of $25,000, or approximately
$0.017 per share. As of September 30, 2022, there were 1,437,500 Founder Shares issued and outstanding, among which, up to 187,500 shares
are subject to forfeiture by the Initial Stockholders to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full,
so that the Initial Stockholders will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO (assuming
the Initial Stockholders do not purchase any Public Shares in the IPO and excluding the Private Units). As a result of the underwriters’
partial exercise of their over-allotment option on October 4, 2022, 68,250 shares of the Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The Initial Stockholders have agreed, subject
to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until, with respect to 50% of the Founder Shares,
the earlier of six months after the consummation of a Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the common stock
equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for
any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing after a Business Combination and, with respect to the remaining 50% of the
Founder Shares, until the six months after the consummation of a Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to a
Business Combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of
the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On September 5, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan
the Company up to an aggregate amount of $200,000 to be used, in part, for transaction costs incurred in connection with the IPO (the
“Promissory Notes”). The Promissory Notes were unsecured, interest-free and due on the closing the IPO. As of September 30,
2022 and December 31, 2021, $200,000 was outstanding under the Promissory Note. The Company repaid the outstanding balance of $200,000
to the Sponsor on October 7, 2022.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement, commencing
on the effective date of the IPO through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation,
to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. The monthly fees will be ceased
upon completion of an initial Business Combination or liquidation.
Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Units (and
all underlying securities), and any shares that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans will be entitled to registration
rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of IPO. The holders of the majority of these securities
are entitled to make up to three demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares
can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which the Founder Shares
are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Units and units issued in payment of working capital loans
made to the Company can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing on the date that the Company consummates a
Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration
statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with
the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company has granted Ladenburg Thalmann, the
representative of the underwriters, a 45-day option from the date of this prospectus to purchase up to 750,000 additional Units to cover
over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On October 4, 2022, the underwriters partially
exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 273,000 units which was closed on October 7, 2022, generating gross proceeds to the Company
of $2,730,000 (see Note 8).
The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting
discount of 1.75% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $875,000. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of 4.00%
of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $2,000,000, which will be paid upon the closing of a Business Combination from the amounts held in
the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Additionally, the Company has committed to issue
the underwriters 75,000 shares common stock, or the representative shares, at the closing of the IPO as part of representative compensation.
As of September 30, 2022, no representative shares were issued.
Note 7 — Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 16,000,000 shares of common stock
with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At September 30, 2022, there
were 1,437,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, of which an aggregate of up to 187,500 shares are subject to forfeiture
to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full, so that the Initial Stockholders will own 20%
of the issued and outstanding shares after the IPO (assuming the Initial Stockholders do not purchase any public units in the IPO and
excluding the Private Shares underlying the Private Units). As a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise their over-allotment
option on October 4, 2022, 68,250 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
Rights — Each holder of a right will
receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of such right redeemed
all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of the rights. No
additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional shares upon consummation
of a Business Combination, as the consideration related thereto has been included in the unit purchase price paid for by investors in
the IPO. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity,
the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the common
stock will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into common stock basis and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively
covert its rights in order to receive 1/10 share underlying each right (without paying additional consideration). The shares issuable
upon conversion of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).
If the Company is unable to complete a Business
Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive
any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of
the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure
to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company
be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, holders of the rights might not receive the shares of common stock underlying
the rights.
Warrants — Each redeemable
warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described
in this prospectus. The warrants will become exercisable on the later 30 days following the completion of an initial Business Combination
and 12 months from the date of this prospectus. The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business
days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file, and within 60 business days following
a Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the issuance of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public
Warrants is not effective within a specified period following the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination, warrant
holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed
to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration
under the Securities Act. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a
cashless basis. The warrants will expire five years from the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time or earlier upon redemption.
The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:
| ● | in whole and not in part; |
| ● | at a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
| ● | upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, which the Company refers to as the
30-day redemption period; |
| ● | if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00
per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within
a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the to
the warrant holders. |
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption,
management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,”
as described in the warrant agreement. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the whole warrants for
that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock
underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value”
(defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the
common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the
holders of warrants.
Except as described above, no warrants will be
exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue common stock unless at the time a holder seeks to exercise such warrant, a
prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the common stock have been registered or
qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of
the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current prospectus relating
to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, the Company cannot assure that
it will be able to do so and, if the Company does not maintain a current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise
of the warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their warrants and the Company will not be required to settle any such warrant exercise.
If the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the common stock is not
qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside, the Company will not be required
to net cash settle or cash settle the warrant exercise, the warrants may have no value, the market for the warrants may be limited and
the warrants may expire worthless.
The
Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants being sold as part of the units in the
Proposed Public Offering except that the Private Placement Warrants will be entitled to registration rights. The Private Placement Warrants
(including the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable
until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination except to permitted transferees.
Note 8 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions
that occurred after the balance sheet date up to November 14, 2022 on which the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued.
Based on this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited
condensed financial statements.
On October 4, 2022, the Company consummated the
IPO of 5,000,000 units at an offering price of $10.00 per unit generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing
of the IPO, the Company sold to the Sponsor, in a private placement, 260,500 units, at $10.00 per unit generating total gross proceeds
of $2,605,000
On October 7, 2022, the underwriters partially
exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 273,000 Public Units at a price of $10 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company
of $2,730,000. Concurrently with the underwriter’s exercise of such option, the Company consummated a private placement of 8,873
Private Units at a price of $10 per unit.
On October 7, 2022, the Company repaid $200,000
outstanding balance of the Promissory Note to the Sponsor.

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware
on May 6, 2021. We were formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization,
reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses, which we refer to herein as our “initial
business combination.” Our efforts to identify a prospective target business are not limited to any particular industry or geographic
region, although we intend to pursue target businesses that are strategically significant in the Asian markets and focus on businesses
with a total enterprise value of between $300,000,000 and $500,000,000. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial
public offering (“IPO” as defined below) and the private placement of Private Units, our securities, debt or a combination
of cash, securities and debt, in effecting our initial business combination.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs
in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete an initial business combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor
generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities through September 30, 2022 were organizational activities and those necessary
to prepare for our IPO, which is described below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for an initial business combination.
We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination.
We expect to generate non-operating income in
the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the IPO. We expect that we will incur increased expenses as a result of
being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in
connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.
For the three months and nine months ended September
30, 2022, we had a net income of $5,014 and net loss of $7,271, respectively, all of which consisted of formation and operating costs.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the period from May
6, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $3,635 for both periods, all of which consisted of formation costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On October 4, 2022, we completed our initial public
offering (“IPO”) of 5,000,000 units (the “Public Units”), at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds
of $50,000,000. Each Public Unit consisted of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001, one redeemable warrant and one right to receive
one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination. Simultaneously with the closing
of the IPO, we completed the sale of 260,500 units (the “Private Units”) in a private placement, at a price of $10.00 per
Private Unit, generating gross proceeds of $2,605,000. The Private Units are identical to the Public Units sold in the IPO, except that
the private warrants will be non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held
by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.
We granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day
option to purchase up to 750,000 additional Public Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On October 4, 2022, the underwriters partially
exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 273,000 Units (“Over-Allotment Option Units”) at $10.00 per Unit was closed
on October 7, 2022 generating total gross proceeds of $2,730,000. On October 7, 2022, simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment
Option Units, the Company consummated the private placement of an additional 8,873 Private Units generating gross proceeds of $88,725.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we issued Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc., the underwriter, 75,000 shares of common stock.
Following the IPO and the private placement (including
the Over-Allotment Units and the Over-Allotment Private Units), a total of $53,520,950 was placed in a trust account located in the United
States established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders (the “Trust Account”) maintained by American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company as a trustee and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days
or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and
that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.
We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO and
the private placement, including the funds held in the Trust Account, in connection with our initial business combination and to pay our
expenses relating thereto, including deferred underwriting discounts and commissions payable to the underwriters in the IPO in an amount
equal to 4.0% of the total gross proceeds raised in the IPO upon consummation of our initial business combination. To the extent that
our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held
in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target
business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations,
for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay
any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the
funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash
of $55,264 and a working capital deficit (current assets less current liabilities, excluding deferred offering costs) of $209,736. Upon
the closing of IPO and the private placement (including the Over-Allotment Units and the Over-Allotment Private Units) on October 4 and
October 7, 2022, we had cash of $325,199 not held in the Trust Account and a working capital of $318,254.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue
to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of
the consummation of a Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties
about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination
within the Combination Period, the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a
formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful
within the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities,
which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2022. 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
Promissory Notes – Related
Party
On September 5, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan
the Company up to an aggregate amount of $200,000 to be used, in part, for transaction costs incurred in connection with the IPO (the
“Promissory Notes”). The Promissory Notes were unsecured, interest-free and due on the closing the IPO. As of September 30,
2022 and December 31, 2021, $200,000 was outstanding under the Promissory Note. We repaid the outstanding balance of $200,000 to the Sponsor
on October 7, 2022.
Administrative Services Agreement
We have entered into an administrative services
agreement pursuant to which we will pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month (subject to deferral as described herein) for office
space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation,
we will cease paying these monthly fees.
Underwriting Agreement
Pursuant to an underwriting agreement in connection
with the IPO, we granted Ladenburg Thalmann, the representative of the underwriters, a 45-day option from the date of this prospectus
to purchase up to 750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.
On October 4, 2022, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 273,000 units at an offering price of $10.00
per Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $2,730,000.
The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting
discount of 1.75% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $875,000. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of 4.00%
of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $2,000,000, which will be paid upon the closing of a Business Combination from the amounts held in
the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Additionally, we issued the underwriters 75,000
shares common stock, or the representative shares, at the closing of the IPO on October 4, 2022, as part of representative compensation.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of unaudited condensed financial
statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual
results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Common Stock Subject to Possible
Redemption
We account for our common stock subject to possible
conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally
redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject
to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times,
common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be
outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption
is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our condensed balance sheets.
We made a policy election in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A and recognizes changes in redemption value in accumulated deficit over
an expected 9-month period leading up to a Business Combination.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure
requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares
and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable
shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. We then allocated the undistributed
income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any
re-measurement of the accretion to redemption value of the common shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends
paid to the public shareholders.
Offering Costs
Offering costs were consisting principally of
underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO and were charged
to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. The Company allocates offering costs between public shares and public rights
based on the relative fair values of public shares and public rights.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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) (“ASU 2020-06”)
to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial
conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining
to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible
debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings
per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. The amendments are effective
for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
Management does not believe that any other recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statement.
