HHG CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

HHG Capital Corporation (the “Company” or “we”, “us” and “our”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated on July 15, 2020, 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”). Currently, the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, except for any entity with its principal business operations in China (including Hong Kong).

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. The Company’s entire activities from inception up to September 23, 2021 relate to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering as described below. Since the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Public Offering” or “IPO” as described in Note 4) became effective on September 20, 2021. On September 23, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 5,000,000 ordinary units (the “Public Units”), generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000 which is described in Note 4.

Simultaneously, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full. The underwriters purchased an additional 750,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,500,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 237,000 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement, generating gross proceeds of $2,370,000, which is described in Note 5. On September 23, 2021, simultaneously with the sale of the over-allotment units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 18,000 Private Units, generating gross proceeds of $180,000.

Transaction costs paid upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering amounted to $1,031,411, consisting of $805,000 of underwriter’s fees and $226,411 of other offering costs.

Trust Account

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the closing of the private placement, $58,075,000 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) with American Stock & 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 and (ii) the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period as described below. 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 dividend earned on the Trust Account balance may be released to the Company to pay the Company’s tax obligations. On September 21, 2022, upon the Company’s shareholders approval of the Charted Amendment, 2,393,594 shares were redeemed by certain shareholders at a price of approximately $10.12 per share, including dividend generated in the Trust Account, in an aggregate amount of $24,223,171. On December 1, 2022, the aggregate amount adjusted to $24,274,780.

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 the 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 will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their ordinary shares obtained in the Initial Public Offering (“Public Shares”) upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially $10.10 per share, plus any pro rata dividend earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to shareholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 4). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants and rights. The ordinary shares subject to redemption was initially recorded at its fair value at the date of issuance and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.

The Company’s initial shareholders (the “initial shareholders”) have agreed (a) to vote their insider shares, the ordinary shares included in the Private Units (the “Private Shares”) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination, (b) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would stop the public shareholders from converting or selling their shares to the Company in connection with a Business Combination or affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) unless the Company provides dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to convert their Public Shares into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with any such vote; (c) not to convert any insider shares and Private Units (including underlying securities) (as well as any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination (or sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association relating to shareholders’ rights of pre-Business Combination activity and (d) that the insider shares and Private Units (including underlying securities) shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However, the initial shareholders will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination. The Company will have until 12 months (or up to 24 months if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination, as described in more detail below) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete its Business Combination (the “Combination Period”).

On August 17, 2022, the Company has reached an agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”) with the Sponsor, who is its largest public shareholder, and with certain other holders of Public Shares (the “Anchor Shareholders”) who, as of August 17, 2022, together own 3,084,000 Public Shares, which represent 53.63% of all outstanding Ordinary Shares that are owned by its public shareholders. Pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, the Anchor Shareholders have agreed to waive their pro rata share of all Extension Payments made into the Trust Account after the date thereof. As a result, each monthly Extension Payment (of $88,867 if there are no redemptions) that is paid into the Trust Account would be segregated so that only the Company’s public shareholders who have not redeemed their Shares, excluding the Anchor Shareholders, would receive their pro rata share of each such monthly extension payment (in addition to their pro rata share of amounts then in the Trust Account) upon redemption or upon the liquidation of the Company as provided in its amended charter after giving effect to the Charter Amendment (as described below). The Waiver Agreement also provides that the Anchor Shareholders will agree not to sell or otherwise transfer any of their Shares (subject to customary exceptions for transfers to certain family members and other affiliates) other than in connection with a redemption of their Shares in the event that the Company is forced to dissolve or liquidate. The terms of the Waiver Agreement, when taken together with the Charter Amendment and the Trust Amendment, would place all of its shareholders (other than the Anchor Shareholders) in the same financial position that they would have been if each monthly extension payment was equal to one-third of the payment for each three-month extension provided for under its previous charter.

On September 19, 2022, the shareholders of the Company approved an amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter Amendment”), giving the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to complete a business combination up to twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time, from September 23, 2022 up to September 23, 2023. Additionally, the Charter Amendment also allowed the holders of the Public Shares to redeem the shares when the Directors of the Company propose any amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and article of association that would affect the substance or timing of the redemption of the Public Shares. Accordingly, on September 19, 2022, 2,393,594 Public Shares were redeemed for the pro-rata share of the deposits then in the Trust Account.

Along with the Company’s amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and article of association, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Trust Amendment”) to the investment management trust agreement, dated as of September 19, 2021, with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Pursuant to the Trust Amendment, the Company has the right to extend the time to complete a business combination twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time from September 23, 2022, up to September 23, 2023, by depositing $0.033 for each issued and outstanding Public Shares for each one-month extension, excluding Public Shares hold by the Anchor Shareholders. On each of September 21, 2022, October 31, 2022, November 28, 2022, December 21, 2022, January 20, 2023, February 21, 2023, March 21, 2023 and April 21, 2023, the Company had deposited $9,080 into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of available time to complete a business combination until May 23, 2023.

Liquidation

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including dividend earned (net of taxes payable), which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The underwriters have agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than $10.10 as initially deposited in the Trust Account.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below $10.10 per share (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Liquidity and going concern

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company generated net income of $264,291 but had cash used in operating activities of $137,702. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $193,927 and working capital deficit of $42,109. Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor or third parties as discussed in Note 6.

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 through one year from the date of these financial statements if a Business Combination is not consummated. These 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.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern in accordance with the authoritative guidance in ASU 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has concluded that the Company has incurred net cash used in operating activities and determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and complete a Business Combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has until May 23, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date without an extension to the acquisition period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after May 23, 2023. Pursuant to the Trust Amendment, the Company has the right to extend the time to complete a business combination twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time from September 23, 2022, to September 23, 2023, by depositing $0.0155 for each issued and outstanding Company ordinary share issued in the IPO for each one-month extension.

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 through one year from the date of these financial statements if a Business Combination is not consummated. These 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

These accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. 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 December 31, 2023. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on April 13, 2023.

● 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 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 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 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 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’s cash consists of deposit with financial institution. 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.

● Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of these cash accounts in a financial institution. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

● Investments held in Trust Account

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the investments held in the Trust Account are held in 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, net in the statements of comprehensive income (loss).

● Warrant accounting

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”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 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 comprehensive income (loss).

As the warrants issued upon the IPO and private placements meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 480, therefore, the warrants are classified as equity.

● Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. 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 issued upon the consummation of the IPO and the exercise of the over-allotment option feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

The Company has made a policy election in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A and recognizes changes in redemption value in additional paid-in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero over an expected 12-month period leading up to a Business Combination. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $370,769 and $2,844,648 accretion of carrying value to redemption value, respectively.

● Income taxes

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax 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 December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

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

The Company’s tax provision is zero for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

The Company is considered to be an exempted British Virgin Islands Company, and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the British Virgin Islands or the United States.

● Net loss per share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”). In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable common stock and non-redeemable common stock and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable ordinary share. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary share subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive and the Company did not have any other dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic (income) loss per share for the period presented.

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

  SCHEDULE OF EARNINGS PER SHARE BASIC AND DILUTED 

 SCHEDULE OF EARNINGS PER SHARE BASIC AND DILUTED BY ORDINARY SHARE 

● 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.

● Fair value of financial instrument

ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC 820”) 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. ASC 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:

The fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820 approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, and other current assets, accrued expenses, amount due to sponsor are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to the short maturities of such instruments. The Company measured its investments held in trust account at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and the fair value is based on Level 1 inputs.

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 December 31, 2022, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

NOTE 4 – INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On September 23, 2021, the Company sold 5,000,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Simultaneously, the Company sold an additional 750,000 units to cover over-allotments. Each Public Unit consists of one ordinary share, one right (“Public Right”) and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Right will convert into one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon the completion of the initial Business Combination. Each Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase three-fourth (3/4) of one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share. The Company will not issue fractional shares upon the exercise of the Public Warrant or the conversion of the Public Right.

The Company paid an upfront underwriting discount of $805,000, equal to 1.4% of the gross offering proceeds to the underwriter at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, with an additional fee of $1,615,000 (the “Deferred Underwriting Discount”). The Deferred Underwriting 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 Underwriting Discount. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Underwriting Discount.

Besides the upfront underwriting discount of $805,000 and the Deferred Underwriting Discount of $1,615,000, the Company also incurred other offering expenses of $297,023. The Company allocates offering costs totaled $2,717,023 between Public Shares, Public Warrants and Public Rights based on the estimated fair value of each at the date of issuance. Accordingly, $2,284,236 offering cost was allocated to Public Shares, $432,787 offering cost was allocated to Public Warrants and Public Rights.

As a result of the aforementioned allocation, upon the completion of the IPO, $46,245,764 is allocated to the ordinary shares included in the Public Units and recorded as temporary equity and $8,537,213 is allocated to the Public Warrants and Public Rights and is recorded as part of the additional paid-in capital.

NOTE 5 – PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with its sponsor of 255,000 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,550,000. Each Private Unit consists of one Private Share, one Private Right (“Private Right”) and one redeemable warrant (each, a “Private Warrant”). Each Private Right will convert into one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon the completion of the Business Combination. Each Private Warrant is exercisable to purchase three-fourth (3/4) of one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. The Company will not issue fractional shares upon the exercise of the Public Warrant or the conversion of the Public Right.

The Private Units are identical to the units sold in the Initial Public Offering except with certain registration rights and transfer restrictions.

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Insider Shares

In July 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,000 founder shares to the initial shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of $1.

In November 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,240,000 additional founder shares to the initial shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of $24,999.

In February 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 187,500 additional founder shares to the initial shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of $18. These shares are subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part. As the over-allotment option was exercised in full in the IPO, none of these shares were forfeited.

Amounts Due to Related Party

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had a temporary advance of $180,000 and $150,000, respectively, from a related party for the payment of costs related to the administrative expense. The balances are unsecured, interest-free and has no fixed terms of repayment.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company is obligated, commencing from the date of the consummation of the offering, to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for general and administrative services. This agreement will terminate upon completion of the Company’s Business Combination or the liquidation of the trust account to public shareholders. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $30,000 and $30,000 expenses, respectively, in connection with the execution of the administrative service agreement. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had unpaid administrative service monthly fee of $180,000 and $150,000, respectively, which are recorded as amounts due to a related party in the respective condensed balance sheets.

NOTE 7 – SHAREHOLDER’S DEFICIT

On September 23, 2021, the Company completed the Initial Public Offering and issued an aggregate of 5,750,000 Public Units and raised gross proceeds of $57,500,000. Refer to Note 4 for details. Simultaneously, the Company completed a private placement and issued an aggregate of 255,000 Private Units and raised gross proceeds of $2,550,000. Refer to Note 5 for details.

Ordinary shares

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 ordinary shares at par $0.0001. Holders of the Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share.

Rights

Each holder of a right (including Public Rights and Private Rights) will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of such right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon exchange of the rights. In the event the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of a Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert the rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share underlying each right upon consummation of a Business Combination.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the required time period and the Company redeems the Public Shares for the funds held in the trust account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds for their rights and the rights will expire worthless.

Warrants

The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. 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 Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 90 days from the consummation of a Business Combination, the holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise the Public Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act provided that such exemption is available. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company may call the warrants for redemption, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering. The Private Warrants (including the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the private warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. 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 warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

The Company assessed the key terms applicable to the Public Warrants as well as the Private Warrants and classified the Public Warrants and Private Warrants as equity in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815.

NOTE 8 – ORDINARY SHARE SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE REDEMPTION

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. 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 Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events and considered to be outside of the Company’s control. On September 21, 2022, upon the Company’s shareholders approval of the Charted Amendment, 2,393,594 shares were redeemed by certain shareholders at a price of approximately $10.12 per share, including dividend generated in the Trust Account, in an aggregate amount of $24,223,171. On December 1, 2022, the aggregate amount adjusted to $24,274,780. Accordingly, at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 3,356,406 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

NOTE 9 – 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 pandemic 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 not 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. Additionally, If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares for amount then on deposit in the Trust Account. Furthermore, the ordinary shares included in the units offered in the IPO provide the holder redemption upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination or the liquidation. These risks and uncertainties also impact the Company’s future financial positions, results of its operations. Please refer to Note 1 for detail discussion of these risks and uncertainties.

Registration Rights

The holders of the insider shares, the Private Units (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 September 20, 2021. 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 insider 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 Units 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.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting fee of 3.2% of the gross proceeds from offering to the maximum of $1,615,000. A total of $805,000 was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. At the closing of any Business Combination, the Underwriters will receive a cash payment equal to the greater of: (i)$575,000 or (ii) a fee equal to 4.5% (or 0.5% with respect to investors in the Offering introduced to the Underwriters by the Company’s sponsor, or Company’s management, subject to a total maximum underwriting fee of $1,615,000.

NOTE 10 – 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 balance sheet date but before this unaudited condensed financial statement 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 financial statements.

On April 21, 2023, the Company deposited $9,080 into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of available time to complete a business combination until May 23, 2023.

References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officers and directors, and references to the “Sponsor” refer to Mr. Hooy Kok Wai. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are not historical facts, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. The only activities from July 15, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2023, were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the IPO and, following the consummation of the IPO, the evaluation of business combination candidates. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of dividend income earned in investments held in the Trust Account. We have incurred expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had a net income of $264,291, which was comprised of interest income from our cash in bank and dividend income earned in investments held in Trust Account of $346,336, offset by general and administrative expenses $82,045.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $224,369, which was comprised of general and administrative expenses of $225,183, offset by interest income from our cash in bank and dividend income earned in investments held in Trust Account of $814.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash of $193,927. Until the consummation of the initial public offering, the Company’s only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of ordinary shares by the initial shareholders, monies loaned by the related party under an unsecured promissory note .

On September 19, 2022, the shareholders of the Company approved an amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter Amendment”), giving the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to complete a business combination up to twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time, from September 23, 2022 up to September 23, 2023. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. This belief is based on the fact that while we may begin preliminary due diligence of a target business in connection with an indication of interest, we intend to undertake in-depth due diligence, depending on the circumstances of the relevant prospective acquisition, only after we have negotiated and signed a letter of intent or other preliminary agreement that addresses the terms of our initial business combination. However, if our estimate of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial business combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or the amount of interest available to use from the trust account is minimal as a result of the current interest rate environment, we may be required to raise additional capital, the amount, availability and cost of which is currently unascertainable. In this event, we could seek such additional capital through loans or additional investments from members of our management team, but such members of our management team are not under any obligation to advance funds to, or invest in, us. In the event that the business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Such loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of our business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $500,000 of the notes may be converted upon consummation of our business combination into additional Private Units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The terms of such loans by our initial shareholders, officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

Additionally, the Charter Amendment also allowed the holders of the Public Shares to redeem the shares when the Directors of the Company propose any amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and article of association that would affect the substance or timing of the redemption of the Public Shares. Accordingly, on September 19, 2022, 2,393,594 Public Shares were redeemed for the pro-rata share of the deposits then in 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.

Along with the Company’s amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and article of association, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Trust Amendment”) to the investment management trust agreement, dated as of September 19, 2021, with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Pursuant to the Trust Amendment, the Company has the right to extend the time to complete a business combination twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time from September 23, 2022, up to September 23, 2023, by depositing $0.033 for each issued and outstanding Public Shares for each one-month extension, excluding Public Shares hold by the Anchor Shareholders. On each of September 21, 2022, October 31, 2022, November 28, 2022, December 21, 2022, January 20, 2023, February 21, 2023, March 21, 2023 and April 21, 2023, the Company had been deposited $9,080 into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of available time to complete a business combination until May 23, 2023.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company generated net income of $264,291 but had cash used in operating activities of $137,702. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $193,927 with working capital deficit of $42,109. We may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor or third parties.

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 through one year from the date of these financial statements if a Business Combination is not consummated. These 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.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern in accordance with the authoritative guidance in ASU 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has concluded that the Company has incurred significant operating losses and determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and complete a Business Combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has until May 23, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date without an extension to the acquisition period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after May 23, 2023. Pursuant to the Trust Amendment, the Company has the right to extend the time to complete a business combination twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time from September 23, 2022, to September 23, 2023, by depositing $0.0155 for each issued and outstanding Company ordinary share issued in the IPO for each one-month extension.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

Warrant accounting

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 condensed statements of comprehensive income (loss).

As the warrants issued upon the IPO and private placements meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 480, therefore, the warrants are classified as equity.

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 issued upon the consummation of the IPO and the exercise of the over-allotment option feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

The Company has made a policy election in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A and recognizes changes in redemption value in additional paid-in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero over an expected 12-month period leading up to a Business Combination. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $370,769 and $2,844,648 accretion of carrying value to redemption value, respectively.

Net income (loss) per share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable common stock and non-redeemable common stock and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable ordinary share. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary share subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive and the Company did not have any other dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic (income) loss per share for the period presented.

Recent Accounting Standards

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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Commitments and 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 September 23, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination and the Company’s liquidation.

Registration Rights

The holders of our insider shares issued and outstanding prior to our initial public offering, as well as the holders of the Private Units (and all underlying securities) and any securities our initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans made to us, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into concurrently without an initial public offering. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of a business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting fee of 3.2% of the gross proceeds from offering to the maximum of $1,615,000. A total of $805,000 was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. At the closing of any Business Combination, the Underwriters will receive a cash payment equal to the greater of: (i)$575,000 or (ii) a fee equal to 4.5% (or 0.5% with respect to investors in the Offering introduced to the Underwriters by the Company’s sponsor, or Company’s management, subject to a total maximum underwriting fee of $1,615,000.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls 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 March 31, 2023, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to a lack of accounting staff with appropriate knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, result of operations and cash flows of the periods presented.

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.
