NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

 

Goldenbridge Acquisition Limited (“Goldenbridge” the “Company” or “we”, “us” and “our”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated on August 12, 2019, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus on opportunities in the artificial intelligence and any other related technology innovations market in North America.

 

CVS X Limited (“CVSX”) is a company incorporated on May 11, 2021, under the laws of the Cayman Island for the purpose of effecting the Business Combination. CVSX is wholly owned by Goldenbridge.

 

Smart CVS Limited (“SCL”, or together with CVSX, “the subsidiaries”) is a company incorporated on May 21, 2021, under the laws of the Cayman Island for the purpose of effecting the Business Combination. SCL is wholly owned by CVSX.

 

SunCar Technology Group Inc., (formerly known as AgiiPlus Global Inc.) (“PubCo”) is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands for the purpose of effecting the Business Combination and to serve as the vehicle for, and be subsumed by, AgiiPlus Inc., pursuant to the Acquisition Merger. PubCo is wholly owned by the Goldenbridge.

 

SunCar Technology Global Inc., (formerly known as AgiiPlus Corporation Inc.) (“Merger Sub”) is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands for the purpose of effecting the Business Combination and to serve as the vehicle for, and be subsumed by, AgiiPlus Inc., pursuant to the Acquisition Merger. Merger Sub is wholly owned by the PubCo.

 

On September 30, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement or non-binding letter of intent to acquire a company, AgiiPlus Inc., (“AgiiPlus”). The aggregate consideration to be paid to AgiiPlus shareholders for the Acquisition Merger is $520 million, payable in the form of a number of newly issued Purchaser Ordinary Shares (the “Closing Payment Shares”) valued at the $10.00 per share. Under the Merger Agreement, 1,000,000 shares of the Closing Payment Shares (“Escrow Shares”) to be issued will be held in escrow for a period of 6 months after the closing to satisfy indemnification obligations. AgiipPlus agreed to pay $100,000 initial deposit to the Company for execution.

 

On May 2, 2022, the Company, AgiiPlus Inc. and AgiiPlus Inc.’s shareholders (the “Parties”) entered into a Termination and Fee Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Parties agreed to mutually terminate the Merger Agreement, subject to the representations, warranties, conditions and covenants set forth in the Termination Agreement. In conjunction with the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Additional Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (including the Shareholder Supporting Agreements) have also been terminated in accordance with their respective terms as of May 2, 2022, the Termination Date. The Termination Agreement provides that as a reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Merger Agreement and pursuing a transaction with AgiiPlus, and in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained therein, AgiiPlus shall pay to the Company an amount of $150,000 within fifteen (15) business days of the Termination Date. The amount was settled on May 16, 2022 and treated as sundry income during the year ended June 30, 2022.

 

On May 23, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement or plan of merger of intent to merge with Auto Services Group Limited (“SunCar”). Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the Company will merge with and into the PubCo, resulting in all the Company’s shareholders becoming shareholders of the Pub Co. Concurrently therewith, Merger Sub will merge with and into SunCar, resulting in the Pub Co acquiring 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of SunCar (the “Acquisition Merger”). The aggregate consideration to be paid to the shareholders for the Acquisition Merger is $800 million, payable in the form of a number of newly issued Purchaser Ordinary Shares (the “Closing Payment Shares”) valued at the $10.00 per share in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Under the Merger Agreement, 1,000,000 shares of the Closing Payment Shares (“Escrow Shares”) to be issued will be held in escrow for a period of 6 months after the closing to satisfy indemnification obligations.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activities through March 31, 2023 relate to the Company’s formation, completion of its initial public offering as described below, as well as negotiation and consummation of the proposed business combination with PubCo. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering, which proceeds are held in trust.

 

Financing

 

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Offering” as described in Note 4) was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2021. The Company consummated the Public Offering on March 4, 2021 of 5,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Public Units’). Subsequently, on March 9, 2021, the underwriters exercised the option in full of 750,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Concurrently with the Public Offering, the Company sold to Cross Wealth Investment Holding Limited (the “Sponsor”) 350,000 private units at a price of $10.00 per unit and sold to Maxim Group LLC for $100 an option to purchase 287,500 units at an exercise price of $11.50 per unit. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $59,162,906 (which includes deferred underwriting commissions of $2,012,500). Transaction costs amounted to $1,837,194, consisting of $1,437,500 of underwriter’s fees and $399,694 of other offering costs.

 

Trust Account

 

Upon the closing of the Public Offering and the private placement, $57,500,000 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC acting as trustee. The funds held in the Trust Account can be invested in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes, having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination within the required time period and (ii) the redemption of 100% of the outstanding public shares if the Company has not completed an initial business combination in the required time period. Placing funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such agreements. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Additionally, the interest earned on the Trust Account balance may be released to the Company to pay the Company’s tax obligations.

 

Business Combination

 

Pursuant to Nasdaq listing rules, the Company’s initial business combination must occur with one or more target businesses having an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the funds in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriter’s fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account), which the Company refers to as the 80% test, at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for our initial business combination, although the Company may structure a business combination with one or more target businesses whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the trust account balance. If the Company is no longer listed on Nasdaq, it will not be required to satisfy the 80% test. The Company currently anticipates structuring a business combination to acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses.

 

The Company may, however, structure a business combination where the Company merges directly with the target business or where the Company acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but the Company will only complete such business combination if the post-transaction company owns 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise owns a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% test.

 

6

 

 

The Company will either seek shareholder approval of any business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to convert their shares into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid, or provide shareholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid. These shares have been recorded at redemption value and are classified as temporary equity, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. The Company will proceed with a business combination only if it will have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of the business combination and, solely if shareholder approval is sought, a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company voted are voted in favor of the business combination.

 

On November 23, 2022, the Company amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended Charter”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination up to three (3) times for an additional three (3) months each time, from December 4, 2022 to September 4, 2023. On November 24, 2022, the Company filed the Amended Charter with the British Virgin Islands General Registry, effective the same day. The Amended Charter extends the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination up to three (3) times for an additional three (3) months each time, from December 4, 2022 to September 4, 2023.

 

On November 23, 2022, 4,004,387 shares were redeemed by certain shareholders at a price of approximately $10.39 per share, including interest generated and extension payments deposited in the Trust Account, in an aggregate amount of $41,596,418.

 

In connection with any shareholder vote required to approve any business combination, the Initial Shareholders have agreed (i) to vote any of their respective shares, including the ordinary shares sold to the Initial Shareholders in connection with the organization of the Company, ordinary shares included in the Private Units sold in the Private Placement, and any ordinary shares which were initially issued in connection with the Public Offering, whether acquired in or after the effective date of the IPO, in favor of the initial business combination and (ii) not to convert such respective shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account or seek to sell their shares in connection with any tender offer the Company engages in.

 

Liquidation and going concern

 

If the Company does not complete a business combination within 12 months from the consummation of the Public Offering, it will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. As a result, this has the same effect as if the Company had formally gone through a voluntary liquidation procedure under the Companies Law. Accordingly, no vote would be required from the Company’s shareholders to commence such a voluntary winding up, dissolution and liquidation. However, if the Company anticipates that the Company may not be able to consummate its initial business combination within 12 months, the Company may, but is not obligated to, extend the period of time to consummate a business combination three times by an additional three months each time (for a total of up to 21 months to complete a business combination). Pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the trust agreement entered into between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC on the effective date of the Registration Statement, in order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate the initial business combination, the Company’s insiders or their affiliates or designees, upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the trust account $575,000 ($0.10 per share), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. The insiders will receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of any such deposit that will not be repaid in the event that the Company is unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available outside the trust account to do so. Such notes would either be paid upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, converted upon consummation of the business combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The Company’s shareholders have approved the issuance of the private units upon conversion of such notes, to the extent the holder wishes to so convert such notes at the time of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. In the event that the Company receives notice from the Company’s insiders five days prior to the applicable deadline of their intent to effect an extension, the Company intends to issue a press release announcing such intention at least three days prior to the applicable deadline. In addition, the Company intends to issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline announcing whether or not the funds had been timely deposited. The Company’s insiders and their affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the trust account to extend the time for the Company to complete the initial business combination. To the extent that some, but not all, of the Company’s insiders, decide to extend the period of time to consummate the Company initial business combination, such insiders (or their affiliates or designees) may deposit the entire amount required. If the Company is unable to consummate the Company’s initial business combination within such time period, the Company will, as promptly as possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Company’s outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not necessary to pay taxes, and then seek to liquidate and dissolve. However, the Company may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders. In the event of dissolution and liquidation, the public rights will expire and will be worthless.

Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if a Business Combination is not consummated by June 4, 2023 or September 4, 2023 if the Company elect to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars and conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The interim financial information provided is unaudited, but includes all adjustments which management considers necessary for the fair presentation of the results for these periods. Operating results for the interim period ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, filed with the SEC on September 30, 2022.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the activities of the Company and each of the following entities:

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 shareholder 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 consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Use of estimates

 

In preparing these unaudited   condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited   condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

Cash and investments held in Trust Account

 

At March 31, 2023, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash.

 

At June 30, 2022, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash and US Treasury securities.

 

The Company classifies marketable securities as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. All marketable securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are recorded in other comprehensive income. The Company evaluates its investments to assess whether those with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. Impairments are considered other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely the Company will sell the securities before the recovery of the cost basis. Realized gains and losses and declines in value determined to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the Private Warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes model (see Note 9).

 

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are subject to occurrence of uncertain future events and considered to be outside of the Company’s control. Accordingly, at March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, 1,745,613 and 5,750,000 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

At March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the ordinary shares reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

 

Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, June 30, 2021  $57,500,000 
Less:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

 

Level 1 —

Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

   
Level 2 —

Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.

   
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

The fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, and other current assets, accrued expenses, due to sponsor are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of March 31, 2023 due to the short maturities of such instruments. See Note 9 for the disclosure of the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and trust accounts in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance 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.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the British Virgin Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

Net (loss) income per share

 

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. In order to determine the net (loss) income attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed (loss) income allocable to both the redeemable ordinary shares and non-redeemable ordinary shares and the undistributed (loss) income is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed (loss) income ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable ordinary shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders. As of March 31, 2023, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

 

The net (loss) income per share presented in the unaudited condensed statement of operations is based on the following:

Convertible promissory notes

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the trust agreement to be entered into between us and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, in order to extend the time available for us to consummate our initial Business Combination, the Company’s insiders or their affiliates or designees, upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the Trust Account $575,000 ($0.10 per share), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. Such notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial Business Combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, converted upon consummation of our Business Combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the note payable balance of $1,499,122 and $575,000, respectively.

 

Related parties

 

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on the current information.

NOTE 3 — CASH AND INVESTMENT HELD IN TRUST ACCOUNT

 

As of March 31, 2023, investment securities in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $18,788,106 in cash. As of June 30, 2022, investment securities in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $58,753,500 in United States Treasury Bills and $1,048 in cash.   The Company classifies its United States Treasury securities as available-for-sale. No available-for-sale marketable securities are recorded on the accompanying March 31, 2023 balance sheet.   The carrying value, including gross unrealized holding gain as other comprehensive income and fair value of held to marketable securities on March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022 are as follows:

NOTE 4 – INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

 

On March 4, 2021, the Company sold 5,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit in the Public Offering. Each Public Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, no par value per share (the “Public Shares”), one right (the “Public Rights”) and one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”). Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half (1/2) of one ordinary share, and each ten rights entitle the holder thereof to receive one ordinary share at the closing of a business combination. In addition, the Company has granted Maxim Group LLC, the underwriter of the Public Offering, a 45-day option to purchase up to 750,000 Public Units solely to cover over-allotments. On March 9, 2021, the underwriters exercised the option in full of 750,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit.

 

If the Company does not complete its Business Combination within the necessary time period described in Note 1, the Public Rights will expire and be worthless. Since the Company is not required to net cash settle the Rights and the Rights are convertible upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination, the Management determined that the Rights are classified within shareholders’ equity as “Additional paid-in capital” upon their issuance in accordance with ASC 815-40. The proceeds from the sale are allocated to Public Shares and Rights based on the relative fair value of the securities in accordance with ASC 470-20-30. The value of the Public Shares and Rights will be based on the closing price paid by investors.

 

The Company paid an upfront underwriting discount of $1,437,500 (2.5%) of the per unit offering price to the underwriter at the closing of the Public Offering, with an additional fee of $2,012,500 (the “Deferred Discount”) of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds payable upon the Company’s completion of the Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Business Combination. In the event that the Company does not close the Business Combination, the underwriter has waived its right to receive the Deferred Discount. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount.

 

On March 5, 2021, Maxim Group, LLC exercised their right to acquire option to purchase up to a total of 287,500 units (the “Unit Purchase Option”) at $11.50 per unit for $100. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Unit Purchase Option has not been exercised.

NOTE 5 – PRIVATE PLACEMENT

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, the Company consummated a private placement of 350,000 Private Units, at $10.00 per unit, purchased by the Sponsor.

 

The Private Units are identical to the units sold in the Public Offering except that the private warrants will be non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis.

 

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Founder and Additional Shares

 

In August 2019, 10,000 shares were sold. In September 2020, the Company issued another 1,427,500 ordinary shares resulting in an aggregate of 1,437,500 ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) outstanding to our initial shareholders, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.017 per share. All share and per share information have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the share split. The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 187,500 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the initial shareholders do not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering and excluding the Private Units and underlying securities). In January 2021, the Sponsor transferred 300,000 of its insider shares to Golden Bridge Holding, LLC, 606,061 shares to Scienjoy Inc., 30,000 shares to Lucky Link International Limited and 60,606 shares to Can Wu.

 

The initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the founder shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until (1) with respect to 50% of the founder shares, the earlier of six months after the completion of a Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after a Business Combination and (2) with respect to the remaining 50% of the founder shares, six months after the completion of a Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

NOTE 7 – NOTE PAYABLE

 

Extensions Loan

 

The Company will have until 12 months from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering to consummate the initial Business Combination. However, if the Company anticipates that the Company may not be able to consummate the initial Business Combination within 12 months, the Company may, but is not obligated to, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination three times by an additional three months each time (for a total of up to 21 months to complete a Business Combination). Pursuant to the terms of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the trust agreement to be entered into between us and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, in order to extend the time available for us to consummate our initial Business Combination, the Company’s insiders or their affiliates or designees, upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the Trust Account $575,000 ($0.10 per share), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. The insiders will receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of any such deposit that will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a Business Combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. Such notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial Business Combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, converted upon consummation of our Business Combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit.

 

On February 22, 2022, the Company issued one unsecured promissory note in an amount of $575,000, to AgiiPlus, in exchange for AgiiPlus depositing such amount into the Company’s trust account in order to extend the time it has available to complete a business combination for an additional three (3) months period, from March 4, 2022 to June 4, 2022. The note was terminated and no amount will be due from us to AgiiPlus under the terms thereof. The gain on extinguishment of $575,000 was recognized in sundry income during the year ended June 30, 2022.

 

On May 22, 2022 and August 25, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note, in each an amount of $575,000, to SunCar, pursuant to which such amount had been deposited into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of available time to complete a business combination until December 4, 2022. On November 21, 2022 and February 27, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note, in each an amount of $174,561, to SunCar, pursuant to which such amount had been deposited into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of available time to complete a business combination until June 4, 2023. The Notes are non-interest bearing and are payable upon the closing of a business combination. In addition, the Notes may be converted, at the lender’s discretion, into additional Public Units at a price of $10.00 per unit. As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the note payable balance of $1,499,122 and $575,000, respectively.

Warrants

 

Each public warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half (1/2) of one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per full share, subject to adjustment as described in this prospectus. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares. This means that only an even number of warrants may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder.

 

No public warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. It is the Company’s current intention to have an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares in effect promptly following consummation of an initial business combination.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the public warrants is not effective within 90 days following the consummation of our initial business combination, public 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 an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the day prior to the date of exercise. For example, if a holder held 300 warrants to purchase 150 shares and the fair market value on the date prior to exercise was $15, that holder would receive 35 shares without the payment of any additional cash consideration. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

 

17

 

 

The warrants will become exercisable on the later of the completion of an initial business combination. The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth anniversary of our completion of an initial business combination, or earlier upon redemption.

 

The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (including any outstanding warrants issued upon exercise of the unit purchase option issued to Maxim Group LLC), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

 

at any time while the Public Warrants are exercisable,

 

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Public Warrant holder,

 

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $16.50 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the notice of redemption to Public Warrant holders, and

 

if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the issuance of the ordinary shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.

 

If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company would issue a notice of redemption, each warrant holder can exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the ordinary shares may fall below the $16.50 trigger price as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price per full share after the redemption notice is issued and not limit our ability to complete the redemption.

 

The redemption criteria for the warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide warrant holders a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide a sufficient differential between the then-prevailing share price and the warrant exercise price so that if the share price declines as a result of our redemption call, the redemption will not cause the share price to drop below the exercise price of the warrants.

 

Rights

 

Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a Public Right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of a Public Right converted all ordinary shares held by him, her or it in connection with a Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association with respect to its pre-business combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of a Business Combination, each holder of a Public Right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of a share underlying each Public Right upon consummation of a Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of Public Rights in order to receive his, her or its additional ordinary shares upon consummation of a 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 Public Rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary shares basis.

 

18

 

 

The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of Public Rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the British Virgin Islands law. As a result, the holders of the Public Rights must hold rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive shares for all of the holders’ rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Rights, and the Public Rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the Public Rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, the rights may expire worthless.

 

NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
   
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
   
Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

The private warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the condensed   consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company allocated the proceeds received from the sale of Private Units, first to the private warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds recorded as ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, and ordinary shares based on their relative fair values recorded at the initial measurement date. The warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The key inputs into the binomial model and Black-Scholes model were as follows at their measurement dates:

 

   March 31,
2023
   June 30,
2022
   March 4,

Share price  $10.73   $10.14   $10.00 
Risk-free interest rate   3.59%   3.01%   0.77%
Volatility   2.0%   58%   56%
Exercise price  $11.50   $11.50   $11.50 
Warrant life   5 years    5 years    5 years 

 

As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the aggregate value of the Private Warrants was $31,745 and $840,000, respectively. The change in fair value from June 30, 2022 to March 31, 2023 was $808,255.

 

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3. Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the Private Warrant liability for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

 

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

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 future financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, there has been a significant impact as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the future outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Warrants (and their underlying securities) and the warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and their underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Proposed Public Offering. The holders of a majority of these securities will be entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these ordinary shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued in payment of Working Capital Loans made to the Company (or underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

20

 

 

Deferred Underwriter Compensation

 

The Company is committed to pay the Deferred Discount of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds, in the amount of $2,012,500 of the Public Offering, to the underwriter upon the Company’s consummation of the Business Combination. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount, and has waived its right to receive the Deferred Discount if the Company does not close a Business Combination.

 

Unit Purchase Option

 

The Company sold to Maxim for $100, an option to purchase 287,500 units exercisable, at $11.50 per unit commencing at any time between the first and fifth anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to its initial public offering. The purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and expires on March 4, 2026. The option and the units, as well as the ordinary shares and warrants to purchase ordinary shares that may be issued upon exercise of the option, have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or the commencement of sales in the Public Offering pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA’s Rules, during which time the option may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, or be subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative or put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities. Additionally, the option may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated prior to March 4, 2022 except to any underwriters and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners. The option grants to holders demand and “piggy back” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective date of the registration statement of which forms a part with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the option. We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions which will be paid for by the holders themselves. The exercise price and number of units issuable upon exercise of the option may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the option will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price.

 

Right of First Refusal

 

Subject to certain conditions, the Company granted Maxim, for a period of 15 months after the date of the consummation of the business combination, a right of first refusal to act as lead underwriters or minimally as a co-manager, with at least 30% of the economics; or, in the case of a three-handed deal, 30% of the economics, for any and all future public and private equity and debt offerings. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(E)(i), such right of first refusal shall not have a duration of more than three years from the effective date of the registration statement.

 

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the March 31, 2023, but before these unaudited financial statements are issued, the Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after March 31, 2023, up through the date was the Company issued the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. During the period, the Company did not have any material subsequent events other than disclosed.

Recent Developments

 

On April 14, 2023, the Company convened its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”), at which holders of 3,059,941 ordinary shares of GBRG (the “Ordinary Shares”) were present in person or by proxy, representing 85.91% of the Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting as of March 24, 2023, the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, and constituting a quorum for the transaction of business. The proposals listed below are described in more detail in the definitive proxy of GBRG, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”), which was first mailed by the Company to its shareholders on or about March 30, 2023. The shareholders approved the Reincorporation Merger Proposal, the Acquisition Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal, and the PubCo Charter Proposal.

 

On February 27, 2023, Goldenbridge issued one unsecured promissory note in an amount of $174,561.30, to Auto Services Group Limited (“SunCar”), in exchange for SunCar depositing such amount into the Company’s trust account in order to extend the amount of time it has available to complete a business combination. The Note does not bear interest and mature upon closing of a business combination by the Company. In addition, the note may be converted by the holder into units of the Company identical to the units issued in the Company’s initial public offering at a price of $10.00 per unit.

 

Overview

 

We are a blank check company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on August 12, 2019 and formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the initial public offering and the sale of the Private Units, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

 

22

 

 

We presently have no revenue, have had losses since inception from incurring formation costs and have had no operations other than the active solicitation of a target business with which to complete a business combination. We have relied upon the sale of our securities and loans from our officers and directors to fund our operations.

 

On March 4, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering of 5,000,000 Unit. Subsequently, on March 9, 2021, the underwriters exercised the option in full of 750,000 units, which was consummated on March 11, 2021. Each Public Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, no par value per share (the “Public Shares”), one right (the “Public Rights”) and one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”). Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half (1/2) of one ordinary share, and each ten rights entitle the holder thereof to receive one ordinary share at the closing of a business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $5,750,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial business combination, the Company consummated a private placement of 350,000 units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $3,500,000 (the “Private Placement”). A total of $57,500,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of Public Units in the initial business combination (including the over-allotment option units) and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders. The Company incurred $1,837,194 in initial public offering related costs, including $1,437,500 of underwriting fees and $399,694 of initial public offering costs.

 

We will not issue fractional shares. As a result, one must (1) exercise warrants in multiples of two warrants, at a price of $11.50 per full share, to validly exercise the warrants; and (2) hold rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive shares for all of the rights upon closing of a business combination.

 

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the initial business combination and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally towards consummating a business combination.

 

Results of Operations

 

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our entire activity from inception up to March 4, 2021 was in preparation for the initial public offering. Since the initial public offering, our activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, D&O insurance), as well as for due diligence expenses. We expect our expenses to increase substantially after this period. However, we cannot assure you that our plans to complete a business combination will be successful.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, we had a net income of $828,391, which was comprised of change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $808,255 and interest income of $788,252 earned on the marketable securities held in Trust Account, partially offset by operating costs of $768,116.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $892,077, which was comprised of operating costs of $832,972 and a change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $70,000, partially offset by interest income of $10,895 earned on the marketable securities held in Trust Account.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $82,726, which was comprised of operating costs of $257,088 and a change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $1,745, partially offset by interest income of 176,107 earned on the marketable securities held in Trust Account.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $403,424, which was comprised of operating costs of $307,328 and a change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $100,000, partially offset by interest income of $3,904 earned on the marketable securities held in Trust Account.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash and investments held in the Trust Account of $18,788,106. Until the consummation of the initial public offering, the Company’s only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of ordinary shares by the Sponsor, monies loaned by the Sponsor under a certain unsecured promissory note and advances from the Sponsor.

 

On March 4, 2021, we consummated the initial public offering of 5,000,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000. Subsequently, on March 9, 2021, the underwriters exercised the option in full of 750,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $7,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 350,000 Private Units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $3,500,000.

 

Following the initial public offering and the exercise of the over-allotment option, a total of $5,750,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $1,837,194 in initial public offering related costs, including $1,437,500 of underwriting fees and $399,694 of initial public offering Costs.

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash of $13,150 and marketable securities in the Trust Account of $18,788,106 (including $788,252 of interest income). We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the initial public offering, including the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and deferred underwriting commissions), to complete our initial business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. During the period ended March 31, 2023, we did not withdraw any of interest income from the Trust Account to pay for income taxes. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account, as well as any other net proceeds not expended, will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our business combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

 

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash of $13,150 outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.

 

On February 27, 2023, Goldenbridge issued one unsecured promissory note in an amount of $174,561.30, to Auto Services Group Limited (“SunCar”), in exchange for SunCar depositing such amount into the Company’s trust account in order to extend the amount of time it has available to complete a business combination. The Note does not bear interest and mature upon closing of a business combination by the Company. In addition, the note may be converted by the holder into units of the Company identical to the units issued in the Company’s initial public offering at a price of $10.00 per unit. 

 

If the Company does not complete a business combination by June 4, 2023 from the consummation of the Public Offering, it will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. As a result, this has the same effect as if the Company had formally gone through a voluntary liquidation procedure under the Companies Law. Accordingly, no vote would be required from the Company’s shareholders to commence such a voluntary winding up, dissolution and liquidation. However, if the Company anticipates that the Company may not be able to consummate its initial business combination by June 4, 2023, the Company may, but is not obligated to, extend the period of time to consummate a business combination two times by an additional three months each time (for a total of up to 30 months to complete a business combination). Pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the trust agreement entered into between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC on the effective date of the Registration Statement, in order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate the initial business combination, the Company’s insiders or their affiliates or designees, upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the trust account $0.10 per share, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. The insiders will receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of any such deposit that will not be repaid in the event that the Company is unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available outside the trust account to do so. Such notes would either be paid upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, converted upon consummation of the business combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The Company’s shareholders have approved the issuance of the private units upon conversion of such notes, to the extent the holder wishes to so convert such notes at the time of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. In the event that the Company receives notice from the Company’s insiders five days prior to the applicable deadline of their intent to effect an extension, the Company intends to issue a press release announcing such intention at least three days prior to the applicable deadline. In addition, the Company intends to issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline announcing whether or not the funds had been timely deposited. The Company’s insiders and their affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the trust account to extend the time for the Company to complete the initial business combination. To the extent that some, but not all, of the Company’s insiders, decide to extend the period of time to consummate the Company initial business combination, such insiders (or their affiliates or designees) may deposit the entire amount required. If the Company is unable to consummate the Company’s initial business combination within such time period, the Company will, as promptly as possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Company’s outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not necessary to pay taxes, and then seek to liquidate and dissolve. However, the Company may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders. In the event of dissolution and liquidation, the public rights will expire and will be worthless.

 

Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if a Business Combination is not consummated by June 4, 2023. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

 

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

Contractual Obligations

 

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than an agreement to pay our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and administrative services to the Company. We began incurring these fees on June 1, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination and the Company’s liquidation. Also, we are committed to the below:

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Warrants (and their underlying securities) and the warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and their underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the Public Offering. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these ordinary shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued in payment of Working Capital Loans made to the Company (or underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Private Warrants

 

The Company classifies the Private Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Private Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The Private Warrants are valued using a Black Scholes model.

 

Deferred Underwriting Commission and Transaction Fee

 

Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) was engaged by Goldenbridge to act as its financial advisor in connection with a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company. For its services, Maxim has agreed to be paid entirely, other than customary expense reimbursement, in Goldenbridge Ordinary Shares, issued at the same per share price as issued as consideration in the Business Combination with SunCar, in an amount of such ordinary shares equal to 0.8% of the equity value of SunCar (the “Transaction Fee”). Assuming a per share price of $10 per share, such Transaction Fee payable upon consummation of the Business Combination would be approximately 640,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares (following exchange of such shares for Goldenbridge Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination). Other than piggyback rights to registration, Maxim’s shares would have the same rights as other holders of Goldenbridge Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination. Furthermore, under the terms of the underwriting agreement in connection with Goldenbridge’s IPO, Goldenbridge owes Maxim a deferred underwriting fee of $2,012,500 upon the completion of the Business Combination for its role as underwriter in the IPO (the “Deferred Underwriting Commission”). Maxim has rights to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses of to $5,000 in the aggregate, without prior approval of Goldenbridge, and such expenses upon invoice are payable only upon the successful closing of a business combination. On March 5, 2021, Maxim exercised its right to acquire an option to purchase up to a total of 287,500 units of Goldenbridge sold in its IPO (the “Unit Purchase Option”) for $100, provided that Maxim would be required to pay upon exercise of such option an exercise price of $11.50 per unit. As of March 31, 2023, the Unit Purchase Option has not been exercised by Maxim.

 

Right of First Refusal

 

According to its financial advisor agreement with Goldenbridge, Maxim has rights of first refusal, on a non-exclusive basis, to be underwriter or placement agent in connection with an equity, equity-linked, convertible or debt financing in connection with the Business Combination, although Maxim has rights to be a specified lead in such transaction if it so determines. To date, Maxim has not exercised this right of first refusal.

 

Subject to certain conditions, the Company granted Maxim, for a period of 15 months after the date of the consummation of the business combination, a right of first refusal to act as lead underwriters or minimally as a co-manager, with at least 30% of the economics; or, in the case of a three-handed deal, 30% of the economics, for any and all future public and private equity and debt offerings. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(E)(i), such right of first refusal shall not have a duration of more than three years from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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. The Company has not identified any significant accounting policies.

 

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

 

Ordinary Shares Subject To Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Ordinary share subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events.

 

Net (Loss) Income Per Share

 

The Company calculates net (loss) income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic (loss) income per share is computed by dividing the net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to possible redemption. Diluted (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, plus to the extent dilutive, the incremental number of ordinary shares to settle rights and other ordinary share equivalents (currently none outstanding), as calculated using the treasury stock method. Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption at March 31, 2023 and 2021, which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted (loss) income per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. The Company has not considered the effect of rights that convert into 287,500 ordinary shares in the unit purchase option sold to the underwriter, in the calculation of diluted (loss) income per share, since the conversion of the rights into ordinary shares would be anti-dilutive.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As of March 31, 2023, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. The net proceeds of the IPO held in the trust account have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in US treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

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

 

Our internal control over financial reporting did not result in the proper classification of our warrants. Since their issuance on March 4, 2021, our warrants had been accounted for as derivative liabilities within our balance sheet. We evaluated the warrants under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s ordinary shares. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s ordinary shares if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant. As a result, our public warrants shall be classified as equity. After discussion and evaluation with our independent auditors, we have concluded that our public warrants should be presented as component of equity.

 

In addition, in preparing of the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company concluded it should restate its financial statements to classify all ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in temporary equity. In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480), paragraph 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company had previously classified a portion of its ordinary shares in permanent equity. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. The Company considered that the threshold would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus would be required to be disclosed outside equity. As a result, the Company restated its previously filed financial statements to classify all ordinary shares as temporary equity and to recognize accretion from the initial book value to redemption value at the time of its Initial Public Offering and in accordance with ASC 480. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

 

As a result, management identified these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for warrants and ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.

 

To remediate these material weaknesses, we developed a remediation plan with assistance from our accounting advisors and have dedicated significant resources and efforts to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing 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. For a discussion of management’s consideration of the material weakness identified related to our accounting for a significant and unusual transaction related to the warrants we issued in connection with our initial public offering, see “Note 11-Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to the accompanying financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 filed with the SEC on September 30, 2022.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 filed with the SEC on September 30, 2022. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

 

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

 

On March 4, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering of 5,000,000 Units. Subsequently, on March 9, 2021, the underwriters exercised the option in full of 750,000 units. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, no par value per share (the “Public Shares”), one right (the “Public Rights”) and one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”). Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $57,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 350,000 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $3,500,000. The net proceeds from the sale of Units in the initial public offering (including the over-allotment option units) and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders.

 

The Private Units are identical to the units sold in the initial public offering, except that the warrants included in the Private Units will be non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis. Our Sponsor, which purchased all of the Private Units, agreed (A) to vote the private shares underlying the Private Units (the “Private Shares”) and any public shares acquired by it in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that would stop our public shareholders from converting or selling their shares to us in connection with a business combination or affect the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete a business combination within 12 months from the closing of the public offering (or 30 months, as applicable) unless we provide dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to convert their public shares in connection with any such vote, (C) not to convert any private shares for cash from the trust account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve our proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that the private shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated Additionally, our Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the private units or underlying securities (except to the same permitted transferees as the insider shares and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions as the permitted transferees of the insider shares must agree to, each as described above) until the completion of our initial business combination.

 

A total of $57,500,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the initial public offering (including the over-allotment) on March 4, 2021 and March 11, 2021, were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders.

 

We paid a total of $1,437,500 in underwriting discounts and commissions (not including the 3.5% deferred underwriting commission payable at the consummation of initial business combination) and $399,694 for other costs and expenses related to our formation and the initial public offering.
