BREEZE HOLDINGS ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations

Breeze Holdings Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on June 11, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “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.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, the Initial Public Offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and, after the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and from changes in the fair value of its warrant liability.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on November 23, 2020. On November 25, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,425,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Breeze Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) and I-Bankers Securities, Inc, generating gross proceeds of $5,425,000, which is described in Note 4.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on November 25, 2020, an amount of $115,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and $1,725,000 from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and 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 selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders, as described below.

Transaction costs incurred in connection with the Initial Public Offering amounted to $4,099,907, consisting of $2,300,000 of underwriting fees, $1,322,350 of representative share offering costs, and $477,557 of other offering costs. As of September 30, 2022, cash of $76 was held outside of the Trust Account and was available for working capital purposes.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete an initial Business Combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. 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.

7


 

The Company will provide its 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 stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.15 per 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 tax obligations. The per-share amount to be distributed to stockholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

 

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only 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 outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required 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, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased by it during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination.

 

If the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 10% or more of the Public Shares, without the Company’s prior written consent.

 

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by November 25, 2021 (which can be extended up to 6 months) and (c) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, 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.           

 

On November 22, 2021, the Company announced that its sponsor, Breeze Sponsor, LLC, timely deposited an aggregate of $1,150,000 (the “Extension Payment”), representing $0.10 per public share, into the Trust Account to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from November 25, 2021 to February 25, 2022. The Sponsor loaned the Extension Payment to the Company in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of the Extension Payment. The loan under the promissory note is non-interest bearing and will be repaid upon the consummation of a business combination. The Company’s stockholders are not entitled to vote on or redeem their shares in connection with such extension.

 

On February 22, 2022, the Company announced that its sponsor, Breeze Sponsor, LLC, timely deposited an aggregate of $1,150,000 (the “Second Extension Payment”), representing $0.10 per public share, into the Trust Account to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from February 25, 2022 to May 25, 2022. The Sponsor loaned the Second Extension Payment to the Company in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of the Second Extension Payment. The loan under the promissory note is non-interest

8


 

bearing and will be repaid upon the consummation of a business combination. The Company’s stockholders are not entitled to vote on or redeem their shares in connection with such extension.

 

On May 5, 2022, the Company held a stockholders’ meeting at which a proposal to approve the extension of time to consummate the closing of a Business Combination Agreement to September 26, 2022 was approved. The Company provided its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares at the time of this stockholders’ meeting. The stockholders who elected to redeem their shares did so for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.35 per 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 tax obligations. In connection with the extension proposal, 6,732,987 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed for $69,700,628, (the “Redemption”), with 7,907,013 shares of common stock remaining outstanding after Redemption; 4,767,013 of the 7,907,013 shares of common stock remaining outstanding after redemption (the “Public Shares”) are owned by the public stockholders. The public stockholders will continue to have the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of an initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein.

 

On September 13, 2022, the Company held its annual stockholders’ meeting at which a proposal to approve the extension of time to consummate the closing of a Business Combination Agreement to March 26, 2023 was approved. The Company provided its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares at the time of this stockholders’ meeting. The stockholders who elected to redeem their shares did so for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.35 per 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 tax obligations. In connection with the extension proposal, 3,076,817 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed for $31,845,056, with 4,830,196 shares of common stock remaining outstanding after Redemption; 1,690,196 of the 4,830,196 shares of common stock remaining outstanding after redemption (the “Public Shares”) are owned by the public stockholders. The public stockholders will continue to have the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of an initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein.

 

Following the redemptions, approximately $17.5 million remains on deposit in our Trust Account. 

 

At the annual meeting of the Company held on September 13, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “A&R COI”) to authorize the Company to extend the date of September 26, 2022, up to six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time (ultimately until as late as March 26, 2023) by which the Company must (a) consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination, which we refer to as our initial business combination, or (b) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial business combination, and redeem all of the shares of common stock of the Company included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on November 25, 2020, and (ii) a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to authorize the Extension and its implementation by the Company. The amended Trust Agreement  authorizes the Company’s Board of Directors to extend the time to complete the Business Combination up to six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time (for a maximum of six one-month extensions), upon the deposit into the Trust Account of $0.035 for each outstanding public share by the Sponsor or its designees on or prior to September 26, 2022 or such other date as may be extended.  Breeze executed its first one month extension of September 26, 2022 depositing $59,157 in the Trust Account.

 

The Company will have until March 26, 2023 to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions,

9


 

if any), 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. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

 

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 for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.35 per Public Share or (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay our taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and will not apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering 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. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

 

Termination of Proposed Business Combination with D-Orbit S.p.A.

 

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 27, 2022, on January 26, 2022, the Company (or “Breeze”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Combination Agreement”), by and among Breeze, D-Orbit S.p.A, an Italian Società per azioni (“D-Orbit”), D-Orbit S.A., a newly-formed joint stock company (société anonyme) governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Holdco”), Lift-Off Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Seraphim Space (Manager) LLP, a UK limited liability partnership. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”), Holdco would become the NASDAQ-listed parent company of both Breeze and D-Orbit, with the former Breeze stockholders (including the Sponsor) owning pro forma approximately 11% and former D-Orbit shareholders owning approximately 84% of the Holdco Shares outstanding immediately after closing, assuming no redemptions.

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Combination Agreement, certain parties to the Combination Agreement entered into Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Combination Agreement) in connection with the Business Combination and as specifically contemplated by the Combination Agreement.

 

On August 12, 2022, the parties to the Combination Agreement entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) which terminated the Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, effective as of August 12, 2022. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company will not be obligated to remit nor will it be entitled to receive a termination payment.

 

Breeze is proceeding to evaluate alternative business combinations.

 

Prior to execution of the Combination Agreement, on January 26, 2022, Breeze, Holdco and D-Orbit entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an entity managed by ATW Partners, LLC (the “Debenture Investor”), pursuant to which the Debenture Investor agreed to purchase, and Holdco agreed to issue and sell to the Debenture Investor, on the Closing Date an aggregate principal amount of $30,000,000 of Holdco’s Original Issue Discount Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) due four years from their date of issuance (the “Debenture Financing”).

 

10


 

 

On July 28, 2022, the parties to the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into a Termination of Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Termination Agreement”) which terminated the Securities Purchase Agreement, effective as of July 28, 2022. In connection with the termination, the Debenture Investor refunded to D-Orbit a portion of a commitment fee previously paid by D-Orbit to the Debenture Investor.

            

Liquidity

 

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $76 in cash held outside of the Trust Account and negative working capital of $4,464,437, excluding income taxes and franchise taxes payable.

 

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the proceeds of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares, and a loan of $300,000 under an unsecured and non-interest bearing promissory note (see Note 5). Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied from the net proceeds from the private placement held outside of the Trust Account.

 

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through the Business Combination as discussed above. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). The notes may be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,000,000 of the notes may be converted upon completion of a Business Combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate the Business Combination or obtain Working Capital Loans will be successful or successful within the Combination Period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  

 

Risks and uncertainties

 

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

With rising tensions around the world based on the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia, we may be unable to complete a business combination if concerns related to this and other potential conflicts impact global capital markets, the ability to transfer money, currency exchange rates, cyber attacks and infrastructure including power generation and transmission, communications, and travel. Escalating conflicts could also have an impact on global demands for health care, international trade including vendor supply chains, and energy. In addition, there have been recent threats to infrastructure and equipment including cyber attacks, physical facility destruction and equipment destruction. The outcome of these conflicts or their impact cannot be predicted and may have an adverse impact in a material way on our ability to consummate a business combination, or to operate a target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination. 

 

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with 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

11


 

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on March 11, 2022. The financial information as of December 31, 2021 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021. The interim results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the period ending December 31, 2022 or for any future interim 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 independent registered public accounting firm 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 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

The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and 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 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 did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

12


 

 

Cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account

 

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no assets and substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in a non interest bearing account and U.S. Treasury securities, respectively. The Company accounts for its securities held in the Trust Account in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320, “Debt and Equity Securities.” These securities are classified as trading securities with unrealized gains/losses, if any, recognized through the condensed statement of operations.

 

Common stock subject to possible redemption

 

All of the 11,500,000 shares of common stock sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder 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. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to possible redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. On May 5, 2022, the Company held a stockholders’ meeting at which a proposal to approve the extension of time to consummate the closing of a Business Combination Agreement to September 26, 2022 was approved. The Company provided its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares at the time of this stockholders’ meeting.  In connection with the extension proposal, 6,732,987 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed. The 4,767,013 shares of common stock remaining from the Initial Public Offering have been classified outside of permanent equity.

 

On September 13, 2022, the Company held its annual stockholders’ meeting at which a proposal to approve the extension of time to consummate the closing of a Business Combination Agreement to March 26, 2023 was approved. The Company provided its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares at the time of this stockholders’ meeting. The stockholders who elected to redeem their shares did so for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.35 per 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 tax obligations. In connection with the extension proposal, 3,076,817 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed. The 1,690,196 shares of common stock remaining from the Initial Public Offering have been classified outside of permanent equity.

 

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are recorded as charges to additional paid-in capital and, if necessary, accumulated deficit.

Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering

 

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 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 Initial Public Offering. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract are classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $4,099,907 as a result of the Initial Public Offering (consisting of a $2,300,000 underwriting fee, $1,322,350 of representative founder share offering costs, and $477,557 of other offering costs). The Company recorded $3,704,282 of offering costs as a reduction of equity in connection with the shares of common stock and public rights included in the Units. The Company immediately expensed $395,625 of offering costs in connection with the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants that were classified as liabilities.

Warrant liabilities

The Company evaluated the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (collectively, “Warrants”, see Note 7) in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, and concluded that a provision in the warrant agreement related to certain tender or exchange offers precludes the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities on the condensed balance sheet and measured at fair value at inception (on the date of the Initial Public Offering) and at each reporting date thereafter in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”), with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed statements of operations in the period of change.

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 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 740-270 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement’s 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 and December 31, 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 is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Net income per share

Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. As the Public Shares are considered to be redeemable at fair value, and a redemption at fair value does not amount to a distribution different than other shareholders, redeemable and non-redeemable shares of common stock are presented as one class of shares in calculating net income per share of common stock. As a result, the calculated net income per share is the same for redeemable and non-redeemable shares of common stock. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 periods presented.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per common share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

15


 

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The carrying amounts reflected in the condensed balance sheet for cash, prepaid expenses and accrued offering costs approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

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 – Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

 

Level 3 – Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

See Note 9 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

 

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 new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2024, although early adoption is permitted. The ASU allows the use of the modified retrospective method or the fully retrospective method. The Company is still in the process of evaluating the impact of this new standard; however, the Company does not believe the initial impact of adopting the standard will result in any changes to the Company’s statements of financial position, 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 condensed financial statements.

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 10,000,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit on November 23, 2020, for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000,000. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value, one Right to receive one-twentieth (1/20) of one share of common stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). In connection with the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option on November 25, 2020, the Company sold an additional 1,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 7). Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. However, if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination on or prior to March 26, 2023, assuming all remaining one month extensions are utilized, the Warrants will expire worthless at the end of such period.

Note 4 — Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,425,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,425,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, certain of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

 

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

 

Founder Shares

 

In June 2020, the Sponsor purchased 100 shares of common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On July 15, 2020, the Sponsor effected a 28,750-for-1 forward stock split and, as a result, our initial shareholders held 2,875,000 Founder Shares as of the date of our initial public offering.

 

The 2,875,000 Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 375,000 shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor does not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering). As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, 375,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments, as described in Note 6.

 

The Sponsor and each holder of Founder Shares have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. 

 

The Company had agreed with each of its four independent directors (the “Directors”) subsequent to incorporation of the Company to provide them the right to each purchase 25,000 Founder Shares with a par value of $0.0001 of the Company from Breeze Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”). The Directors each exercised their right in full on July 6, 2021 and purchased 100,000 shares (25,000 per each Director) of the Founder Shares from Sponsor for a total of $10 in the aggregate.

 

17


 

 

The sale or allocation of the Founder Shares to the Company’s Directors, as described above, is within the scope of  FASB 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 100,000 shares granted to the Company’s Directors was $401,000 or $4.01 per share. The compensation expense related to these share purchases was recorded in full on the grant date of July 6, 2021 for a total of $401,000. This expense is included within operating and formation costs on the condensed statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

Administrative Support Agreement

 

The Company entered into an agreement whereby, commencing on November 23, 2020 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, the Company will pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $5,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred and paid $45,000 in fees for these services. For the year ending December 31, 2021 the Company incurred $60,000 in fees for these services of which such amounts are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

 

Related Party Loans

   

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,000,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loan.

 

On February 1, 2022 (as amended), the Company signed a Promissory Note with Sponsor, with a Maturity Date of March 26, 2023, for a total of up to $1,500,000. As of September 30, 2022, the amount outstanding under this working capital loan was $1,421,975 from Sponsor. The working capital loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or (ii) March 26, 2023.

 

The Company had 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to consummate its initial Business Combination. However, by resolution of its board, requested by the Sponsor, the Company extended the period of time to consummate a Business Combination two times, each by an additional three months (for a total of up to 18 months to complete a Business Combination). The Sponsor deposited additional funds into the Trust Account in order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate its initial Business Combination. The Sponsor deposited into the Trust Account for each three-month extension, $1,150,000 ($0.10 per share) on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, and for the September 26, 2022 one-month extension, $59,157 ($0.035 per share) up to an aggregate of $2,359,157, or approximately $0.235 per share. The payments were made in the form of a loan. The loans are non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. If the Company completes an initial Business Combination, it would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to it. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, it will not repay such loans. Furthermore, the letter agreement with the Company’s initial stockholders contains a provision pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to waive its right to be repaid for such loans out of the funds held in the Trust Account in the event that the Company does not complete a Business Combination.      

                    

Representative and Consultant Shares

 

Pursuant to the underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between the Company and I-Bankers Securities (the “Representative”), on November 23, 2020, the Company issued to the Representative and its designee 250,000 shares of common stock and separately agreed to issue the Company’s Consultant 15,000 shares of common stock for nominal consideration in a private placement intended to be exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Act. In August 2021, the Company issued to the Consultant such Consultant Shares. The Company accounts for the Representative Shares and the Consultant Shares as a deferred offering cost of the Initial Public Offering. Accordingly, the offering cost will be allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the

18


 

Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the Warrants will be expensed immediately in the statement of operations, while offering costs allocated to the redeemable Public Shares will be deferred and subsequently charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

The Company estimated the fair value of the Representative Shares and Consultant Shares to be $1,322,350 based upon the price of the common stock issued ($4.99 per share) to the Representative and Consultant. The holders of the Representative Shares and Consultant Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the later of (i) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and 180 days pursuant to FINRA Conduct Rule 5110(e)(1) following the effective date of the Registration Statement to anyone other than (i) the Representative or an underwriter or selected dealer in connection with the Offering, or (ii) a bona fide officer or partner of the Representative or of any such underwriter or selected dealer. Additionally, pursuant to FINRA Conduct Rule 5110(e), the Representative Shares and Consultant Shares will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the Registration Statement.

 

In addition, the holders of the Representative Shares and Consultant Shares have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the time specified in the certificate of incorporation.

Note 6 — Commitments

Registration and Stockholder Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights and stockholder agreement entered into on November 23, 2020, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of  common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration and stockholder rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to the Company’s common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. In the case of the private placement warrants and representative shares issued to I-Bankers Securities, the demand registration rights provided will not be exercisable for longer than five years from the effective date of the registration statement in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(C) and the piggyback registration right provided will not be exercisable for longer than seven years from the effective date of the registration statement in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D). The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

 

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On November 25, 2020, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit.

 

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

 

The Company has engaged I-Bankers Securities, Inc. as an advisor in connection with a Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing the Company’s securities in connection with a Business Combination, assist the Company in obtaining stockholder approval for the Business Combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay I-Bankers Securities, Inc. a cash fee for such

19


 

services upon the consummation of a Business Combination in an amount equal to 2.75% of the gross proceeds of Initial Public Offering, or $3,162,500.

 

Note 7 – Warrants

 

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares are issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants are exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the consummation of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

We will not be obligated to deliver any shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable for cash, and we will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption is available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the public warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of our initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. 

We have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our reasonable best efforts to file, and within 60 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, to have declared effective, a registration statement relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if our common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use our best efforts to qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Once the warrants become exercisable, we may call the warrants for redemption:

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 (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date we send to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

We may not redeem the warrants when a holder may not exercise such warrants.

In addition, if (x) we issue additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our initial business combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by our board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to our initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by our 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 our initial business combination on the date of the consummation of our initial business combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of our common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day after the day

20


 

on which we consummate our initial business 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.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

The private placement warrants (including the common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will (with limited exceptions) not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination and they will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the original holders or their permitted transferees. Otherwise, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants being sold as part of the public units. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than the original holders or their permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in our IPO.

The Sponsor and I-Bankers Securities purchased from the Company an aggregate of 5,425,000 Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Warrant (a purchase price of $5,425,000) in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the completion of the Initial Public Offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”). Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at $11.50. The purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account pending completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. 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 the initial Business Combination and they will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the original holders or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the original holders or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Warrants included in the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering. Otherwise, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are substantially identical to those of the Warrants being sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering.

If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, then the proceeds will be part of the liquidating distributions to the public stockholders and the Warrants issued to the Sponsor and I-Bankers Securities will expire worthless.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 5,425,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. The Company classifies the outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as warrant liabilities on the condensed balance sheets in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40.

The warrant liabilities were initially measured at fair value upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period using a Monte-Carlo model. The Public Warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to its fair value. The Company recognized gains in connection with changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $6,262,250 and $8,631,750 within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Note 8 — Stockholder’s Deficit

 

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

 

Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 3,140,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding for both periods, excluding 1,690,196 and 11,500,000 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption respectively.

 

Rights —Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a Right will automatically receive one-twentieth (1/20) of a share of common stock upon consummation of the Business Combination, even if the holder of a Right converted all shares held by him, her or it in connection with the Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation with respect to its pre-business combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of the Business Combination, each holder of a Right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its Rights in order to receive the one-twentieth (1/20) of a share of common stock underlying each Right upon consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of Rights in order to receive his, her or its additional share of common stock upon consummation of the Business Combination. The shares issuable upon exchange of the Rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company). 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 shares of common stock will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into common stock basis.

 

The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of Rights. As a result, the holders of the Rights must hold Rights in multiples of 20 in order to receive shares for all of the holders’ Rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the required time 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. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights. Accordingly, the Rights may expire worthless.

The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model for the initial valuation of the Public Warrants. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker BREZW. The quoted prices of the Public Warrants were $0.05 and $0.42 per warrant as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

  

The Company utilizes a Modified Black-Scholes model to value the Private Placement Warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement 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 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.

 

The aforementioned warrant liabilities are not subject to qualified hedge accounting.

 

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants was transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement in December 2020 when the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded. There were no transfers during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

Note 10 — Interim Income Tax

  

The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 0.25% and 0.08%, respectively and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 0.0%, respectively.   The Company's effective tax rate differs from the statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of gains or losses from the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities and non-deductible transaction costs in connection with the Merger Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and due to the recognition of gains or losses from the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities and incentive stock compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, which are not recognized for tax purposes, and recording a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company has used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company believes that, at this time, the use of the discrete method for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 is more appropriate than the estimated annual effective tax rate method as the estimated annual effective tax rate method is not reliable due to a high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual pretax earnings.

 

Note 11 — In consideration of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 – Excise Tax

 

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 of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. 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.

 

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

24


 

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.

 

Note 12 — Subsequent Events

  

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not, except as described in these condensed financial statements and below, identify any other subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed financial statements.

 

The amended Trust Agreement  authorizes the Company’s Board of Directors to extend the time to complete the Business Combination up to six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time (for a maximum of six one-month extensions), upon the deposit into the Trust Account of $0.035 for each outstanding public share by the Sponsor or its designees on or prior to September 26, 2022 or such other date as may be extended. Breeze executed its first one month extension on September 22, 2022 depositing $59,157 in the Trust Account.  On October 21, 2022 Breeze executed the second one month extension through November 26, 2022.

 

 

On October 31, 2022, Breeze Holdings Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Breeze”), entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Breeze, BH Velocity Merger Sub Inc., a Texas corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Breeze (“Merger Sub”), and TV Ammo, Inc., a Texas corporation (“TV Ammo”).

 

The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of each of Breeze, Merger Sub, and TV Ammo.

 

The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things, at the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into TV Ammo (the “Merger”), with TV Ammo surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Breeze. In connection with the Merger, Breeze will change its name to “True Velocity, Inc.” The Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination.”

 

The Business Combination is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions, including the satisfaction of the minimum available cash condition, the receipt of certain governmental approvals and the required approval by the stockholders of Breeze and TV Ammo.

 

The aggregate consideration to be received by the TV Ammo stockholders, warrant holders, and option holders is based on a pre-transaction equity value of $1,185,234,565, and results in a combined company equity value of $1,239,286,525. In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, (i) each share of issued and outstanding TV Ammo common stock, par value $0.01 (“TV Ammo Common Stock”), shall be converted into a number of shares of Breeze common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Breeze Common Stock”), based on the Exchange Ratio described below, (ii) each option to purchase TV Ammo Common Stock shall be converted into an option to purchase Breeze Common Stock at the Exchange Ratio, and (iii) each warrant to purchase TV Ammo Common Stock shall be converted into a warrant to purchase Breeze Common Stock at the Exchange Ratio. The Exchange Ratio will be equal to (a) the sum of (x) $1,185,234,565, plus (y) any amounts raised by TV Ammo after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the Closing in permitted financing transactions in excess of $50,000,000, plus (z) the aggregate exercise and conversion price of all outstanding TV Ammo convertible notes, in-the-money warrants and in-the-money options, divided by (b) the number of fully-diluted shares of TV Ammo Common Stock, further divided by (c) an assumed value of Breeze Common Stock of $10.00 per share. A pro rata portion of the shares of Breeze Common Stock received in exchange for the shares of TV Ammo Common Stock are subject to forfeiture if certain future stock-price based milestones are not achieved as described below (the “Earnout Shares”). The number of Earnout Shares will be equal to the product of (a) 15% and (b) the amount by which 118,523,456 exceeds the number of shares of Breeze Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of securities issued by TV Ammo in permitted financings after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the Closing.

 

25


 

 

The Earnout Shares will be issued at the Closing and subject to forfeiture. One-half of the Earnout Shares shall become fully vested and no longer subject to forfeiture if, during the three-year period beginning at the Closing (the “Milestone Event Period”), the combined company’s common stock achieves a daily volume weighted average market price of at least $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 consecutive trading day period (“Milestone Event I”). The other half of the Earnout Shares will become fully vested and no longer subject to forfeiture if, during the Milestone Event Period, the combined company’s common stock achieves a daily volume weighted average market price of at least $15 per share for a similar number of days (“Milestone Event II”). The 30 consecutive trading day periods used to satisfy Milestone Event I and Milestone Event II may not overlap; if both Milestone Event I and Milestone Event II would be satisfied using the same 30 consecutive trading day period, Milestone Event II will be deemed satisfied and the threshold market price to achieve Milestone Event I shall be increased to $13.50. Any Earnout Shares that remain unvested at the end of the Milestone Event Period will be forfeited.

 

The parties have agreed to take actions such that, effective immediately after the Closing of the Business Combination, Breeze’s board of directors shall consist of seven directors, consisting of two Breeze designees (at least one of whom shall be an “independent director”), four TV Ammo designees (at least three of whom shall be “independent directors”) and the chief executive officer of the combined company. Additionally, certain current TV Ammo management personnel will become officers of Breeze. To qualify as an “independent director” under the Merger Agreement, a designee shall both (i) qualify as “independent” under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and (ii) not have had any business relationship with either Breeze or TV Ammo or any of their respective subsidiaries, including as an officer or director thereof, other than for a period of less than six months prior to the date of the Merger Agreement.

 

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type, including, among others, covenants providing for (i) certain limitations on the operation of the parties’ respective businesses prior to consummation of the Business Combination, (ii) the parties’ efforts to satisfy conditions to consummation of the Business Combination, including by obtaining necessary approvals from governmental agencies (including U.S. federal antitrust authorities and under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”)), (iii) prohibitions on the parties soliciting alternative transactions, (iv) Breeze preparing and filing a registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and taking certain other actions to obtain the requisite approval of Breeze’s stockholders to vote in favor of certain matters, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Business Combination, at a special meeting to be called for the approval of such matters, and (v) the protection of, and access to, confidential information of the parties.

 

In addition, Breeze has agreed to adopt an equity incentive plan, as described in the Merger Agreement.

 

The obligations of Breeze and TV Ammo to consummate the Business Combination are subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, (ii) the approval of Breeze’s stockholders, (iii) the approval of TV Ammo’s stockholders, and (iv) Breeze’s Form S-4 registration statement becoming effective.

 

In addition, the obligations of Breeze and Merger Sub to consummate the Business Combination are also subject to the fulfillment (or waiver) of other closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the representations and warranties of TV Ammo being true and correct to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties and each of the covenants of TV Ammo having been performed or complied with in all material respects, (ii) delivery of certain ancillary agreements required to be executed and delivered in connection with the Business Combination; and (iii) no Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) having occurred.

 

The obligation of TV Ammo to consummate the Business Combination is also subject to the fulfillment (or waiver) of other closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the representations and warranties of Breeze and Merger Sub being true and correct to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties and each of the covenants of Breeze and Merger Sub having been performed or complied with in all material respects, (ii) the shares of Breeze Common Stock issuable in connection with the Business Combination being listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, and (iii) Breeze having cash on hand (inclusive of proceeds from certain permitted financings) of at least $30,000,000 (after deducting any amounts paid to Breeze stockholders that exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination and net of certain transaction expenses incurred or subject to reimbursement by the Sponsor). If Breeze’s cash on hand is less than $30,000,000, (a) after the Breeze stockholder meeting to approve the Business Combination, Breeze may sell additional shares of Breeze Common Stock to

26


 

investors for not less than $10.00 per share, and (b) after the deadline for Breeze stockholders to elect to redeem their Breeze Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination, Breeze may, with the consent of TV Ammo, enter into agreements incentivizing redeeming stockholders to unwind their election to redeem. The Sponsor has agreed to forfeit up to 20% of its shares of Breeze Common Stock to allow Breeze to offer shares in connection with any such incentive agreements.

 

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, (i) by mutual written consent of Breeze and TV Ammo, (ii) by Breeze, on the one hand, or TV Ammo, on the other hand, if there is any breach of the representations, warranties, covenant or agreement of the other party as set forth in the Merger Agreement, in each case, such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iii) by either Breeze or TV Ammo if the Business Combination is not consummated by April 28, 2023, provided the failure to close by such date is not due to a breach by the terminating party, (iv) by either Breeze or TV Ammo if a meeting of Breeze’s stockholders is held to vote on proposals relating to the Business Combination and the stockholders do not approve the proposals, and (v) by Breeze if the TV Ammo stockholders do not approve the Merger Agreement.

 

Under certain circumstances as described further in the Merger Agreement, if the Merger Agreement is validly terminated by Breeze, TV Ammo will pay Breeze a fee equal to the actual documented expenses incurred by Breeze in connection with the Business Combination of up to $1,000,000.

 

A copy of the Merger Agreement is included as Exhibit 2.1 in our Current Report filed with the SEC on Form 8-K on November 1, 2022 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Breeze does not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

 

The Merger Agreement contemplates that TV Ammo may enter into agreements to raise capital prior to the Closing of the Business Combination for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $100,000,000 (the “Permitted Financing”).

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Breeze, TV Ammo, the Sponsor and certain directors of the Sponsor entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) pursuant to which the Sponsor and each such director agreed to, among other things, (i) vote at any meeting of the stockholders of Breeze all of its shares of Breeze Common Stock held of record or thereafter acquired in favor of the proposals relating to the Business Combination, (ii) not redeem any of its shares of Breeze Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination, (iii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination, and (iv) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to such securities, prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement.

 

Additionally, the Sponsor has agreed to forfeit up to 20% of the aggregate amount of Breeze Common Stock held by it if, within six months following the Closing, the sum of Breeze’s cash on hand at the Closing, plus the funds requested or received under Breeze’s at-the-market facility (or other similar equity or hybrid equity based instrument or facility) at or prior to that date is less than $50,000,000.

 

The foregoing description of the Sponsor Support Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sponsor Support Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 in our Current Report filed with the SEC on Form 8-K on November 1, 2022, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

27


 

 

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, within seven business days following the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of TV Ammo representing the requisite votes necessary to approve the Merger Agreement are expected to enter into support agreements (the “Stockholder Support Agreement”) with Breeze and TV Ammo, pursuant to which each such holder will agree to (i) vote all of its TV Ammo shares held of record in favor of the approving and adopting the Merger Agreement at any meeting of the stockholders of TV Ammo, (ii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination, and (iii) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to such securities, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the form of Stockholder Support Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Stockholder Support Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Stockholder Support Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.2 in our Current Report filed with the SEC on Form 8-K on November 1, 2022, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Following the execution of the Merger Agreement, Breeze, TV Ammo, the Sponsor, certain other holders of Breeze “founders stock” and certain holders of shares of TV Ammo that will receive shares of Breeze Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination will enter into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with Breeze, whereby those holders are prohibited from selling or transferring their shares of Breeze Common Stock for a period of eight months following the Closing, subject to early release of a portion of their shares upon the occurrence of certain milestones.

 

Following the execution of the Merger Agreement, Breeze, the Sponsor, certain other holders of Breeze “founders stock” and certain holders of shares of TV Ammo that will receive shares of Breeze Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), which will amend the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement entered into by Breeze, the Sponsor and certain other holders of Breeze “founders stock” on November 23, 2020 and pursuant to which Breeze will be obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of certain securities of Breeze held by such holders. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides such holders with “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.

 

The foregoing description of the Lock-Up Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Lock-Up Agreement, and the form Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which are attached included as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, in our Current Report filed with the SEC on Form 8-K on November 1, 2022, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Overview

 

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 11, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

 

As indicated in the accompanying condensed financial statements at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $76 and $5,403 in cash, respectively, and a negative working capital deficit of $4,464,437 and $1,667,202, respectively (excluding franchise taxes payable). We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through September 30, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account, and the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities. 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 $1,459,229, which consisted of a gain on change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1,916,000, interest income on the Trust Account of $813 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $69,760, partially offset by operating and formation costs of $523,629 and income tax expense of $3,715.

29


 

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $3,200,700, which consisted of a gain on change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $3,777,750, interest income on funds held in the Money Market Account of $76 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $14,444, partially offset by operating costs of $591,570.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $4,837,633, which consisted of a gain on change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $6,262,250, interest income on the Trust Account of $813 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $188,904, partially offset by operating and formation costs of $1,610,619 and income tax expense of $3,715.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $7,391,957, which consisted of interest income on funds held in the Money Market Account of $763, an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $30,035, and change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $8,631,750, partially offset by operating costs of $1,270,591.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On November 25, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), we consummated the sale of 5,425,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $5,425,000.

 

Following the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $116,725,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $4,099,907 in transaction costs, including $2,300,000 of underwriting fees, $1,322,350 of representative share offering costs, and $477,557 of other offering costs.

 

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $17,553,499. On May 5, 2022, the Company held a stockholders’ meeting at which a proposal to approve the extension of time to consummate the closing of a Business Combination Agreement to September 26, 2022 was approved. The Company provided its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares at the time of this stockholders’ meeting. The stockholders who elected to redeem their shares did so for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.35 per 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 tax obligations. In connection with the extension proposal, 6,732,987 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed for $69,700,628, (the “Redemption”). On May 10, 2022, $109,000 was withdrawn from the Trust Account for payment of franchise and income taxes.

 

On September 13, 2022, the Company held its annual stockholders’ meeting at which a proposal to approve the extension of time to consummate the closing of a Business Combination Agreement to March 26, 2023 was approved. The Company provided its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares at the time of this stockholders’ meeting. The stockholders who elected to redeem their shares did so for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.35 per 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 tax obligations. In connection with the extension proposal, 3,076,817 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed for $31,845,056 and on September 8, 2022, $122,247 was withdrawn from the Trust Account for payment of franchise and income taxes.

 

As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $117,931,556 (including $56,556 of interest income and unrealized gains) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with maturities of 180 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through December 31, 2021, we did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $1,658,549 which was due to a net income of $4,837,633 partially offset by a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $6,262,250, an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $188,904, interest of $813 on the Trust Account, a reduction of the current portion of long-term liabilities of $11,293 and a reduction in working capital of $32,922.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions and income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to

30


 

complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $76 and $5,403, respectively, in cash held outside the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $4,464,437 and $1,667,202, respectively (excluding income taxes and franchise taxes payable).

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants issued to our Sponsor, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.

On November 19, 2021 (as amended), the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $1,150,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from November 25, 2021 to February 25, 2022. This unsecured promissory note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or (ii) March 26, 2023.

On February 18, 2022 (as amended), the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $1,150,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from February 25, 2022 to May 25, 2022. This unsecured promissory note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or (ii) March 26, 2023.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. We believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Contractual obligations

On November 19, 2021 (as amended), the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $1,150,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from November 25, 2021 to February 25, 2022. This unsecured promissory note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or (ii) March 26, 2023.

31


 

On February 18, 2022 (as amended), the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $1,150,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from February 25, 2022 to May 25, 2022. This unsecured promissory note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or (ii) March 26, 2023.

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay Breeze Financial, Inc. a monthly fee of $5,000 for office space, administrative and support services to the Company, and monthly D&O insurance premium payments of $11,697 ending February 28, 2022 . We began incurring these fees on November 23, 2020, and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a business combination marketing fee of $0.275 per unit, or $3,162,500 in the aggregate. The fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of 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 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:

 

Warrant Liabilities

 

We account for the warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815”), under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. As the warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the warrants are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed statements of operations in the period of change.

 

Representative and Consultant Shares

 

Pursuant to the underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between the Company and I-Bankers Securities (the “Representative”), on November 23, 2020, the Company issued to the Representative and its designee 250,000 shares of common stock and separately agreed to issue the Company’s Consultant 15,000 shares of common stock for nominal consideration in a private placement intended to be exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Act. The Company accounts for the Representative Shares and Consultant Shares as a deferred offering cost of the Initial Public Offering. Accordingly, the offering cost will be allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the Warrants will be expensed immediately in the Statement of Operations, while offering costs allocated to the redeemable Public Shares will be deferred and subsequently charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for 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 is classified as a liability instrument and is 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 the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all 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’ deficit section of our condensed balance sheet.

32


 

Net Income Per Share

Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. As the Public Shares are considered to be redeemable at fair value, and a redemption at fair value does not amount to a distribution different than other shareholders, redeemable and non-redeemable shares of common stock are presented as one class of shares in calculating net income per share of common stock. As a result, the calculated net income per share is the same for redeemable and non-redeemable shares of common stock.

Emerging Growth Company

 

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have 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, we, 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 our 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.

  

Recent Accounting Standards

 

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 new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2024, although early adoption is permitted. The ASU allows the use of the modified retrospective method or the fully retrospective method. The Company is still in the process of evaluating the impact of this new standard; however, the Company does not believe the initial impact of adopting the standard will result in any changes to the Company’s statements of financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

33


 

 

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of  September 30, 2022. Based upon his evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective related to the accounting for complex financial instruments which combined constitutes a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management concluded that a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting existed relating to the accounting treatment for complex financial instruments and that the failure to properly account for such instruments constituted a material weakness as defined in the SEC regulations.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at September 30, 2022. In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessments and those criteria, management determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2022 due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described above.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting from our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In light of the restatement of our financial statements included in the prior Reports, we plan to enhance our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and 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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no other material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2022 or our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, except as set forth below:

A new 1% U.S. federal excise tax could be imposed on us in connection with redemptions.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) was signed into federal law. The IRA provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded U.S. corporations, by certain U.S. subsidiaries of publicly traded non-U.S. corporations, by “covered surrogate foreign corporations” (as defined in the IRA) and by certain affiliates of the foregoing (each, a “covered corporation”). Because our securities are trading on the Nasdaq, we are a “covered corporation” for this purpose. 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 Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and to prevent the avoidance of the excise tax. The IRA applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.

If we complete a business combination after December 31, 2022, any redemption or other repurchase that occurs in connection with the business combination, or any other redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022 may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases, (ii) the nature and amount of the equity issued in connection with the business combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with the business combination but issued within the same taxable year of the business combination), and (iii) the content of regulations and other guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. 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 complete any business combination and in our ability to complete any such business combination.
