NOTE 1.

DESCRIPTION
OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
|
Lefteris Acquisition
Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on August 20, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar
business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).
The Company is not
limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and
emerging growth companies.
As of June 30, 2022,
the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from August 20, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described
below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest.
The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income its investments.
The registration
statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 20, 2020. On October 23, 2020 the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000 which is
described in Note 3.
Simultaneously with
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 4,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement
Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Lefteris Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”),
generating gross proceeds of $6,000,000, which is described in Note 4.
Following the closing
of the Initial Public Offering on October 23, 2020, an amount of $200,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account
(the “Trust Account”), located in the United States and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity
of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the
earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.
On November 17, 2020,
the Company consummated the sale of an additional 709,894 Units through the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their
over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, and the sale of an additional 94,653 Private Placement Warrants, at $1.50 per Private Warrant, generating
total gross proceeds of $7,240,919. A total of $7,098,940 of the net proceeds was deposited into the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $207,098,940.
Transaction costs
amounted to $11,808,264, consisting of $4,141,979
in cash underwriting fees, $7,248,463 of deferred underwriting fees and $417,822 of other offering costs. Transaction costs charged to equity amounted to $11,365,513.
Transactions costs expensed as of the date of the Initial Public Offering totaled $442,751.
The Company’s
management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied
generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations with one or more operating
businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the
deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to
register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
The Company will
provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder
meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The
Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with
respect to the Company’s warrants.
The Company will only
proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 following any related redemptions
and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does
not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer
rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock
exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to
the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial
Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed
transaction.
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Certificate of Incorporation will provide that a Public Stockholder, together with any
affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from
redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Sponsor has
agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (i) to
modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemptions in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100%
of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity,
unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
The Company will have
until October 23, 2022 to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of
winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than
business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a
per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely
extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s
remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There
will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.The Sponsor has
agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public
Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their
deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) 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 other funds held
in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial
Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).
In order to protect
the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the
Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00
per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective
target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of
any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for
the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and 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.
Going Concern Consideration
As the Company is within the one-year timeframe of mandatory liquidation, a going concern disclosure is required. At June 30, 2022, the
Company has $956 in its operating bank account, $207,398,615 in securities held in the Trust Account and working capital deficit of $3,489,446.
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.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Topic 205-40 Presentation of Financial
Statements – Going Concern, the Company has until October 23, 2022 to consummate a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date and an extension not requested by the Sponsor, there will be a mandatory
liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Although the Company intends to consummate a Business Combination on or before October 23, 2022, it is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by
this time. Management has determined that should a Business Combination not occur and an extension is not requested by the Sponsor, any potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. The Company’s plan is to complete a Business Combination or obtain an extension on or prior to October 23, 2022, however it is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination or obtain an
extension by this time. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after October 23, 2022.
If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers,
directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. 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. In
connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,”
management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by October 23, 2022, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and
subsequent dissolution coupled with the working capital deficit raises 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management,
the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the
periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined
in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public
companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden
parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts
emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a
class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with
the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and
it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of
the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the
potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed financial statements in
conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of 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. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current
information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents
as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject
to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a
liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of
uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that
are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the
stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period.
Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A common stock resulted in charges
against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Class A common stock reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Offering Costs
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the
separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred in the statements of
operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock issued were initially charged to temporary equity and then accreted to common stock subject to redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (see Note 3).
Warrant Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency
risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). 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 FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial
instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the
Company’s own common stock, 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 additional paid-in capital 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 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 and the public warrants were valued using the exchange traded price as of the valuation date (see Note 9).
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income
taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax basis of
assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a
portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $1,014,000 and $909,000 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, each of which has a full valuation allowance recorded against them.
ASC 740-270-25-2 requires that an annual effective tax rate be determined and such annual effective rate applied to year to date
income in interim periods under ASC 740-270-30-5. Our effective tax rate was 1.81% and 0.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 0.41%
and 0.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax
rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, due to changes in fair value in warrant liability,
changes in fair value in the PIPE derivative liability, and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be
more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is
currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major
taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management
does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
While ASC 740 identifies usage of the effective annual
tax rate for purposes of an interim provision, it does allow for estimating individual elements in the current period if they are significant, unusual or infrequent. Computing the ETR for the Company is complicated due to the potential
impact of the Company’s change in fair value of warrants (or any other change in fair value of a complex financial instrument), the timing of any potential business combination expenses and the actual interest income that will be recognized
during the year. The Company has taken a position as to the calculation of income tax expense in the current period based on 740-270-25-3 which states, “If an entity is unable to estimate a part of its ordinary income (or loss) or the
related tax (or benefit) but is otherwise able to make a reliable estimate, the tax (or benefit) applicable to the item that cannot be estimated shall be reported in the interim period in which the item is reported.” The Company believes
its calculation to be a reliable estimate and allows it to properly take into account the unusual elements that can impact its annualized book income and its impact on ETR.
Net Income per Common Share
The Company complies with
accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company has two
classes of common stock, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of common stock. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A
common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted
income per common share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement warrants since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence
of future events. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or 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 net income per common share is the same as basic net income per common share for the periods presented.
The following table reflects the
calculation of basic and diluted net income per common share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this
account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s
assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximate the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. As
of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying values of cash and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is
comprised of shares of a mutual fund that invests solely in U.S. government securities. The fair value for these securities is determined using quoted market prices in active markets. The Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants
for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a binomial lattice model. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted price was used as the fair value
as of each relevant date.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an
asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The
hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
• |
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
|
• |
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active
markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
|
• |
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from
valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
|
In some
circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on
the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial
instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as
liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of
derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current
based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that
any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.
NOTE 3.

INITIAL
PUBLIC OFFERING
|
Pursuant to the
Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 20,709,894 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, inclusive of 709,894 Units sold to the
underwriters on November 17, 2020 upon the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one
share of Class A common stock and
of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the
holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).
NOTE 4.
|
PRIVATE
PLACEMENT
|
Simultaneously with
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price
of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds of $6,000,000 in the aggregate. On November 17, 2020, in connection with the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, the Company sold an additional 94,653 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $141,979.
Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds
from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be
used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

RELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|
Founder Shares
During the period
ended September 4, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 5,031,250 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B common stock for
an aggregate price of $25,000. On September 16, 2020, the Company effected a stock dividend resulting in 6,468,750 Founder Shares being issued and outstanding. On October 20, 2020, the Company canceled 718,750 Founder Shares, resulting in an aggregate of 5,750,000
Founder Shares being issued and outstanding. In September 2020, the Sponsor transferred 20,000 Founder Shares to each of the
Company’s independent directors. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option on November 17, 2020, a total of 177,473 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture and 572,527 Founder Shares were
forfeited, resulting in an aggregate of 5,177,473 Founder Shares issued and outstanding.
The Sponsor has
agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year
after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period
commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger,
capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Advances from Related Party and Due to Sponsor
The Sponsor paid for certain operating costs on behalf of the Company amounting to $761,796 and $236,779 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The advances are non-interest bearing and are due on demand.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance
transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working
Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only
out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the
Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working
Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $2,000,000
of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per
warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no such
Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

Risks and
Uncertainties
Management
continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a
target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
In
February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian
Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of
operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these financial statements.
Registration and
Stockholder Rights
Pursuant to a
registration rights agreement entered into on October 20, 2020, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A common stock issuable upon
the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and
stockholder rights agreement requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to the Company’s Class A common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities are
entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the
holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to
Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering our securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in
connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting
Agreement
The underwriters
are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $7,248,463 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company
completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time
to time by the Company’s board of directors. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class A Common Stock —
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par
value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 20,709,894 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding all of which are presented as temporary equity, respectively.
Holders of Class A
common stock and holders of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders except as otherwise required by law. The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert
into Class A common stock concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one
basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a
Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such
adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, plus (ii) all
shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in
a Business Combination, and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company). The Company cannot determine at this time whether a majority of the holders of our
Class B common stock at the time of any future issuance would agree to waive such adjustment to the conversion ratio.
Class B Common Stock —
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a
par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 5,177,473 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

WARRANT
LIABILITY
|
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 6,903,297 Public
Warrants and 4,094,653 Private Placement Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 10,997,950 shares of Class A common stock which are contingent upon the occurrence of future events as discussed below. Public
Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become
exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b)12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company will
not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of
the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the
Company will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws
of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.
The Company has agreed that as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of a Business Combination and to maintain a
current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon
exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders
may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section
3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.
Redemptions
of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 — Once
the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:
● |
in whole and not in part;
|
● |
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
|
● |
Upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, to each warrant holder; and
|
● |
if, and only if, the last
reported sale price of the Class A common stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”) equals or exceed
$18.00 per share (as adjusted).
|
If and when the
warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
Redemption
of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 – Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:
● |
in whole and not in part;
|
● |
at a price of $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30
days’ prior written notice of redemption; provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares based on the redemption date and the fair market value
of the Class A common stock;
|
● |
if, and only if, the Reference
Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted); and
|
● |
if the Reference Value is less
than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the
same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.
|
If the Company calls the Public
Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A
common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the
warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock 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 the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
In addition, if (x)
the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A common (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in
the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross
proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding
of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the
“Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to
115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 and $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices will be adjusted (to
the nearest cent) to be equal to 100% and 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, respectively.
The Private
Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement
Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to
certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement
Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

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 Company
classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with ASC Topic 320 “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and
intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.
At June 30, 2022,
the investments held in the Trust Account were comprised of $207,398,615 in a mutual fund that invests solely in U.S. Treasury
securities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company withdrew $73,000 in interest income from the Trust Account.
At December 31, 2021, the investments held in the Trust Account were comprised of $207,171,108 in a mutual fund that invests solely in U.S.
Treasury securities. During the
year ended December 31, 2021, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account.
On February
18, 2021, the U.S. Treasury Securities matured and the proceeds from redemption were used to purchase shares of a mutual fund that invests solely in U.S. government securities.
The following table presents information
about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair
value.

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on our balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on
a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Private Warrants were valued using a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, for the period from the Initial Public Offering through the date the Public Warrants detached from the Units, which is considered
to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Modified Black Scholes model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility
as of the IPO date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. The expected volatility as of subsequent valuation dates was implied from the Company’s own public
warrant pricing. The exchange traded price of the Public Warrants was used as the fair value as of each relevant date. The subsequent measurements of the Public Warrants after the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units are
classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. The subsequent measurements of the Private Placement Warrants after the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units is classified as Level 2 due
to the use of an observable market quote for a similar asset in an active market.

Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 20, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock
purchase, reorganization or other similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement
Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to
prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and, subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of
our Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the Initial Public Offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial
reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $1,573,446, which consisted of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $279,652 and a change in fair
value of warrant liability of $1,605,700, offset by general and administrative expenses of $303,265 and provision for income taxes of $8,641.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $6,967,072, which consisted of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $300,507 and a change in fair value
of warrant liability of $7,434,323, offset by general and administrative expenses of $759,117 and provision for income taxes of $8,641.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net income of $283,874, which consisted of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $7,405 and a change in fair value of
warrant liability of $944,309, offset by general and administrative expenses of $667,840.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net income of $10,061,731, which consisted of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $35,538 and a change in fair value
of warrant liability of $11,791,424, offset by general and administrative expenses of $1,765,231.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, we had $956 in cash outside of the Trust Account. Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of common
stock by the Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor.
On October 23, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,00 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing
of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 4,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to our stockholders, generating gross proceeds of $6,000,000.
On November 17, 2020, the Company issued an additional 709,894 Units issued for total gross proceeds of $7,098,940 in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of their
over-allotment option. Simultaneously with the partial closing of the over-allotment option, we also consummated the sale of an additional 94,653 Private Placement Warrants at $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of
$141,979.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters’ and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $207,098,940 was placed
in the Trust Account. We incurred $11,808,264 in transaction costs, including $4,141,979 of underwriting fees, $7,248,463 of deferred underwriting fees and $417,822 of other offering costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $622,031. Net income of $6,967,072 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of
$300,507, a change in fair value of the warrant liability of $7,434,323, and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which provided $145,727 of cash from operating activities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $587,840. Net income of $10,061,731 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of
$35,538, a change in fair value of the warrant liability of $11,791,424, and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which provided $1,177,391 of cash from operating activities.
As of June 30, 2022, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $207,398,615. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts
representing interest earned on the Trust Account to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we withdrew an amount of $73,000 of interest income from the
Trust Account. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the
operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
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.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers
and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that a Business
Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $2,000,000 of such loans may be
convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
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. However, if our estimate of the costs
of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our
Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business
Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
Going Concern
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Topic 205-40 Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, the Company has until
October 23, 2022 to consummate a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date and an extension not requested by the Sponsor, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company.
Although the Company intends to consummate a Business Combination on or before October 23, 2022, it is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. Management has determined that should a Business
Combination not occur and an extension is not requested by the Sponsor, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plan is to complete a business
combination or obtain an extension on or prior to October 23, 2022, however it is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination or obtain an extension by this time. No adjustments have been made to the carrying
amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after October 23, 2022.
If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors,
or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s
working capital needs. 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2022.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than described below.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $7,248,463 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust
Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual
results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting policies.
Warrant Liabilities
We account 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 FASB
ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. 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 our own common stock, 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 additional paid-in capital 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 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.
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock
subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder
or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock features certain
redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of
the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheets.
Net Income per Common Share
We calculate earnings per share to allocate net income evenly to Class A and Class B common stock. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which
case, both classes of common stock share pro rata in the income of the Company.
The calculation of diluted income per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement warrants
since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or 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 net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for the periods presented.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial
statements.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
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 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.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarter Report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash
flows for the period presented.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
Remediation of a Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We recognize the importance of the control environment as it sets the overall tone for the Company and is the foundation for all other
components of internal control. Consequently, we designed and implemented remediation measures to address the material weakness related to the Company’s financial reporting of complex financial instruments and enhance our internal control
over financial reporting. In light of the material weakness, we enhanced our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards
that apply to our financial statements, including providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents. The foregoing actions were completed as of June 30, 2022, and we believe we have remediated the material
weakness in internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
None.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. As of the
date of this Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Except as
disclosed below, as of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.
The risk factor disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 under the heading “Changes in laws or regulations,
including different or heightened rules or requirements promulgated by the SEC, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business
combination.” is replaced in its entirety with the following risk factor:
Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate
and complete our initial business combination, and results of operations.
We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and other legal
requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those
changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination, and results of operations.
On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules relating to, among other items, enhancing disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies;
amending the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; effectively eliminating the safe harbor relating to the use of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination
transactions; increasing the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These rules, if
adopted, whether in the form proposed or in revised form, may materially adversely affect our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.
Moreover, because these laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance becomes available. This
evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to our disclosure and governance practices. If we fail to address and comply with these regulations and any
subsequent changes, we may be subject to penalty and our business may be harmed.
On October 23, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units. On November 17, 2020, in connection with the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their
over-allotment option, we sold an additional 709,894 Units. The Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the closing of the over-allotment option, were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of
$207,098,940. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acted as sole book-running manager. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-249290). The Securities and Exchange
Commission declared the registration statement effective on October 20, 2020.
Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the closing of the over-allotment option, we consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 4,094,653 units at a price of $1.5 per
Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceed of $6,141,979. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable,
assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering, the closing of the over-allotment option and the Private Placement Warrants, $207,098,940 was placed in the Trust Account.
We paid a total of $4,141,979 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $417,822 for other offering costs related to the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters agreed to
defer $7,248,463 in underwriting discounts and commissions.
