1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Organization and General

GigCapital3, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on February 3, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

On May 6, 2021, the Company consummated its Business Combination with Lightning Systems, Inc. (“Lightning Systems”) pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2020, by and among the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Project Power Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and Lightning Systems (the “Business Combination Agreement”). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company changed its name from GigCapital3, Inc. to Lightning eMotors, Inc.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 3, 2020 (date of inception) through March 31, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Offering”), as described in Note 3, and identifying a target for and closing its Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

On May 5, 2020, the registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”), as amended, filed in connection with the Offering was declared effective and amended by the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement, as declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 13, 2020. The Company concurrently entered into an underwriting agreement on May 13, 2020 to conduct the Offering, the closing of which was consummated on May 18, 2020 with the delivery of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”). The Units sold in the Offering consisted of the securities described in Note 3. The Offering generated gross proceeds of $200,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Offering, the Company consummated the closing of a private placement sale (the “Private Placement”) of 893,479 units (the “Private Placement Units”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. The Company’s sponsor, GigAcquisitions3, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Founder”) purchased 650,000 Private Placement Units and Nomura Securities International, Inc. (“Nomura”), Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (“Oppenheimer”) and Odeon Capital Group LLC (“Odeon”) (collectively, the “Underwriters”) purchased 243,479 Private Placement Units in the aggregate. The Private Placement Units consisted of the securities described in Note 4. The closing of the Private Placement generated gross proceeds of $8,934,790 consisting of $6,500,000 from the sale of the Private Placement Units to the Founder and $2,434,790 from the sale of Private Placement Units to the Underwriters.

Following the closing of the Offering, net proceeds in the amount of $196,000,000 from the sale of the Units and proceeds in the amount of $6,000,000 from the sale of Private Placement Units, for a total of $202,000,000, were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”), which is described further below.

Transaction costs for the Offering amounted to $12,785,179, consisting of $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $8,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $785,179 of offering costs. The Company’s remaining cash after payment of the offering costs will be held outside of the Trust Account for working capital purposes. Subsequently to the closing of the Offering, offering costs of $785,179 accrued for at the closing of the Offering were reduced to $732,907. Therefore, total transaction costs amounted to $12,732,907.

The Trust Account

The funds in the Trust Account have been invested only in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. The remaining proceeds from the Offering outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence expenses on acquisition targets and continuing general and administrative expenses. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination on May 6, 2021, there is no longer a Trust Account and all funds were distributed out of the Trust Account either for the purpose of the redemption of shares or to the operating account of the Company, including for the payment of transaction costs of the Business Combination or the deferred underwriting fees from the Offering.

5

The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation as of May 13, 2020 provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of 100% of the shares of common stock included in the units sold in the Offering (the “public shares”) if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Offering on May 18, 2020; or (iii) the redemption of the public shares in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete its initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Offering on May 18, 2020. The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation was further amended and restated on May 6, 2021 to remove these provisions from it.

Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination with (or acquisition of) a target business (“Target Business”). As used herein, Target Business must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less taxes payable on interest earned at the time the Company signs a definitive agreement in connection with the business combination).

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a business combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the business combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the business combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest but less taxes payable or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to have their shares redeemed by the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to commencement of the tender offer, including interest but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the business combination or will allow stockholders to redeem their shares to the Company in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval unless a vote is required by New York Stock Exchange rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its business combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the business combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of a business combination. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares and the related business combination, and instead may search for an alternate business combination.

If the Company holds a stockholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with a business combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, such shares of common stock have been recorded at their redemption amount and classified as temporary equity. The amount held in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2021 was $202,034,396, which represents cash and marketable securities of $202,000,000 from the sale of 20,000,000 Units at $10.00 per public share, net of underwriting fees of $4,000,000, the sale of 243,479 Private Placement Units to the Underwriters at $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, the sale of 650,000 Private Placement Units at $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, net of cash reserved for operating needs of the Company, and $47,119 of interest income earned on these holdings, less $12,723 withdrawn from the interest earned on the Trust Account to pay tax obligations.

Additionally, there was $1,830 of interest accrued, but not yet credited to the Trust Account, which was recorded in the condensed balance sheet in interest receivable on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2021.

The Founder, the Underwriters, and Messrs. Weightman, Wang and Betti-Berutto (the “Insiders”) have entered into letter agreements with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to participate in any redemption with respect to their initial shares; however, if the Founder, the Underwriters, the Insiders or any of the Company’s officers, directors or affiliates acquired shares of common stock after the Offering, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account upon the Company’s redemption or liquidation in the event the Company does not complete a business combination within the required time period.

In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 10, 2020, the Company announced that it executed a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of December 10, 2020, with Project Power Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Lightning Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Lightning Systems”) (the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on December 11, 2020 with the SEC (the “Form 8-K Filing”), which provides a summary of the Business Combination Agreement and the other agreements entered into (and certain agreements to be entered into) in connection with the Business Combination. Such agreements were attached in the exhibits of the Form 8-K Filing. Below outlines the key terms of the Business Combination Agreement and other agreements entered into by the Company.

The Merger

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay Lightning Systems equity holders aggregate consideration consisting of up to 53,922,000 shares of common stock, including any shares issuable in respect of vested equity awards of Lightning Systems that are exercised prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) or equity awards of Lightning Systems that the Company assumes and which are exercised following the Closing in accordance with the terms of such equity awards. In addition, the Company may issue pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement up to an additional 16,463,096 shares of common stock to equity holders of Lightning Systems who have received, or are entitled to receive, any per share merger consideration (such holders, the “Stockholder Earnout Group” and such shares, the “Stockholder Earnout Shares”)

Lightning Systems Stockholder Earnout Shares

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, holders of Lightning Systems Capital Stock will receive, in the aggregate, up to an additional 16,463,096 shares of common stock (the “Stockholder Earnout Shares”) in three equal tranches if, during the period from the Closing through and including the fifth anniversary of the date of the Closing, the dollar volume-weighted average price of common stock (as determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement) equals or exceeds $12.00, $14.00 and $16.00 per share for twenty (20) of any thirty (30) consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing on the NYSE, Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange, as applicable for each of such three tranches, respectively.

Incentive Plan

In connection with the Merger, the Company will adopt, subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company, an equity incentive award plan for the Company with an initial award pool of the Company’s common stock equal to the sum of (i) the amount that is equal to ten percent (10%) of the shares of common stock outstanding as of immediately after the Effective Time (rounded up to the nearest whole share), plus the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying the exchanged options, which plan shall include an “evergreen” provision pursuant to which such award pool will automatically increase on each of January 1, 2022 and each anniversary thereof during the effectiveness of such plan by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of 12:01 a.m. (Central Time) on such date and (ii) such lesser amount determined by the board of directors, and which plan shall be effective at and after Closing.

Stockholder Support Agreement

The Company, Lighting Systems and the certain stockholders of Lightning Systems (the “Key Company Stockholders”), concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, have entered into the Stockholder Support Agreement (the “Stockholder Support Agreement”), pursuant to which such Key Company Stockholders have agreed, among other things, to vote all of their shares of Lightning Systems Capital Stock in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, including the Merger.

Sponsor Support Agreement

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement on December 10, 2020, the Company, Lightning Systems and GigAcquisitions3, LLC (the “Sponsor”) entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed, among other things, to vote (or execute and return an action by written consent), or cause to be voted at the Special Meeting (or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to), all of its shares of Company common stock (A) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and approval of the Business Combination, including the Merger, (B) against any action, agreement or transaction or proposal that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Business Combination Agreement or that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of the Merger from being consummated and (C) in favor of each of the proposals and any other matters necessary or reasonably requested by the Company for consummation of the Business Combination, including the Merger.

7

PIPE Subscription Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “PIPE Subscription Agreement”), dated as of December 10, 2020, with BP Technology Ventures, Inc. (the “PIPE Investor”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement to close immediately prior to the Closing, an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Company common stock at $10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000,000, to the PIPE Investor. The purpose of the PIPE Subscription Agreement is to raise additional capital for use by the post-combination company following the Closing. The obligations to consummate the subscription are conditioned upon, among other things, all conditions precedent to the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements (as defined below) having been satisfied or waived, and the Closing of the transaction contemplated by the PIPE Subscription Agreement occurring concurrently with the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements.

Convertible Note Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into convertible note agreements (the “Convertible Note Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Convertible Note Investors”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Convertible Note Investors, in private placements to close immediately prior to Closing, (a) convertible notes for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000,000 and (b) warrants to purchase up to 8,695,652 shares of common stock with a per share exercise price of $11.50. The convertible notes are convertible into 8,695,652 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $11.50. The obligations to consummate the convertible note investment are conditioned upon, among other things, customary Closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. The convertible note investment will be consummated substantially concurrently with the Closing.

Going Concern Consideration

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $426,268 in cash and a working capital deficit of $1,568,161. Further, the Company has no present revenue. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revised Financial Statements

The Company has revised its condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 to correct misstatements in prior periods primarily related to misstatements identified in improperly applying accounting guidance on certain warrants, recognizing them as equity instead of a warrant liability, under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.  The Company assessed the materiality of this misstatement in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 – “Quantifying Misstatements” and concluded this error was not qualitatively material.  As such, the correction of the error was revised in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021.

The effect of this revision on the line items within the condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was as follows:

8

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of March 31, 2021, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.

Emerging Growth Company

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

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating the net loss per common share. Shares of common stock subject to possible redemption as of March 31, 2021 have been excluded from the calculation of the basic net loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. When calculating its diluted net loss per share, the Company has not considered the effect of (i) the incremental number of shares of common stock to settle warrants sold in the Offering and Private Placement, as calculated using the treasury stock method; (ii) the shares issued to the Insiders representing 15,000 shares of common stock underlying restricted stock awards for the periods they were outstanding; and (iii) the 750,000 shares of common stock issued to the Founder that were forfeited due to the over-allotment option not being exercised by the Underwriters. Since the Company was in a net loss position during the period after deducting net income attributable to common stock subject to redemption, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for the period presented as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.

Reconciliation of Net Loss Per Common Share

In accordance with the two-class method, the Company’s net loss is adjusted for net income that is attributable to common stock subject to redemption, as these shares only participate in the income of the Trust Account and not the losses of the Company. Accordingly, net loss per common share, basic and diluted, is calculated as follows:

9

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances that at times may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financial institutions.

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

As of March 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account consisted of mutual funds.

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 federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets primarily due to their short-term nature.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering Costs

Offering costs in the amount of $12,732,907 consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Offering. Offering costs were charged to stockholders’ equity and recorded in additional paid-in capital as a reduction to the gross proceeds received upon completion of the Offering.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2021, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation related to restricted stock awards are based on fair value of common stock on the grant date. The shares underlying the Company’s restricted stock awards are subject to forfeiture if these individuals resign or are terminated for cause prior to the completion of the Business Combination. Therefore, the related stock-based compensation will be recognized upon the completion of a Business Combination, unless the related shares are forfeited prior to a Business Combination occurring.

10

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2021. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of March 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for warrants for shares of the Company’s common stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the condensed balance sheets. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense), net on the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the common stock warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liability related to the common stock warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

3. OFFERING

On May 18, 2020, the Company completed the closing of the Offering whereby the Company sold 20,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value (“Common Stock”), and three-fourths (3/4) of one redeemable warrant (a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per full share. As a result, increments of four Public Warrants must be exercised in order to obtain whole shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Public Warrants. The exercise price of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances as discussed in Note 6. Under the terms of the warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”), the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a new registration statement under the Securities Act, following the completion of the Company’s Business Combination.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Public Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Public Warrant holder. Each Public Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Offering and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. However, if the Company does not complete a Business Combination on or prior to the 18-month period allotted to complete the Business Combination, the Public Warrants will expire at the end of such period. If the Company is unable to deliver registered shares of Common Stock to the holder upon exercise of the Public Warrants during the exercise period, there will be no net cash settlement of these Public Warrants and the Public Warrants will expire worthless, unless they may be exercised on a cashless basis in the circumstances described in the Warrant Agreement. Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, only in the event that the last sale price of the Company’s shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Public Warrant holders.

As previously reported on a Form S-1/A of the Company, on April 22, 2020, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Subscription Agreement for Founder Shares, dated April 16, 2020 (the “Subscription Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Founder, pursuant to which the Founder agreed to acquire 5,735,000 shares of the Common Stock, of the Company,

including up to 750,000 Founder Shares that the Founder agreed to surrender and have cancelled in the event that the Underwriters did not fully exercise the underwriter over-allotment option.

The Underwriters had 45 days from May 13, 2020 to exercise their over-allotment option, which period expired on June 27, 2020. As a result of the Underwriters not exercising their over-allotment option by June 27, 2020, the Founder was obligated, pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, to surrender and cancel all of the 750,000 Founder Shares held by it that it agreed in the Subscription Agreement to surrender and have cancelled in the event that the Underwriters did not exercise such over-allotment option. Such surrender and cancellation occurred on June 29, 2020 as described in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 30, 2020.

On June 29, 2020, the Company announced that the holders of the Company’s Units may elect to separately trade the securities underlying such Units which commenced on July 2, 2020. Any Units not separated will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “GIK.U”. Any underlying shares of Common Stock and warrants that are separated will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “GIK,” and “GIK. WS”, respectively.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

During the period from February 3, 2020 (date of inception) to February 14, 2020, the Founder purchased 5,735,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or $0.0044 per share. The Company also issued 5,000 shares of Common Stock, solely in consideration of future services, to each of the Insiders pursuant to Insider Shares Grant Agreements dated May 13, 2020 between the Company and each of the Insiders, for an aggregate issuance of 15,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Insider Shares”). The Insider Shares are subject to forfeiture if the individuals resign or the services are terminated for cause prior to the completion of the Business Combination. The Founder Shares are identical to the Common Stock included in the Units being sold in the Offering except that the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. The Founder has forfeited 750,000 Founder Shares because the over-allotment option was not exercised by the Underwriters. Because the entire over-allotment option was not exercised, the forfeiture did not need to be adjusted. Therefore, the Founder and Insiders collectively own approximately 22% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Offering, the Private Placement, and forfeiture of 750,000 Founder Shares.

Private Placement

The Founder and the Underwriters purchased from the Company an aggregate of 650,000 and 243,479 Private Placement Units, respectively, at a price of $10.00 per Unit in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the completion of the closing of the Offering. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Common Stock, and three-fourths (3/4) of one warrant (a “Private Placement Warrant”). Each whole Private Placement Warrant will be exercisable for $11.50 per share, and the exercise price of the Private Placement Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances as described in Note 6.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Private Placement Warrant holder. Each Private Placement Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Offering and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. However, if the Company does not complete a Business Combination on or prior to the 18-month period allotted to complete the Business Combination, the Private Placement Warrants will expire at the end of such period. If the Company is unable to deliver registered shares of Common Stock to the holder upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants during the exercise period, there will be no net cash settlement of these Private Placement Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless, unless they may be exercised on a cashless basis in the circumstances described in the Warrant Agreement. Once the Private Placement Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Private Placement Warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per Private Placement Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, only in the event that the last sale price of the Company’s shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Private Placement Warrant holders.

The Company’s Founder, Insiders and Underwriters have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their respective Founder Shares, shares held by the Insiders, Private Placement Units, shares or other securities underlying such Private Placement Units that they may hold until the date that is (i) in the case of the Founder Shares or shares held by the Insiders, the earlier of (A) 12 months after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Company’s initial Business Combination, (x) the date on which the last sale price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 90 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination or (y) the date on which the

12

Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the Company’s Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Units and shares or other securities underlying such Private Placement Units, until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s Business Combination.

Unlike the Public Warrants included in the Units sold in the Offering, if held by the original holder or its permitted transferees, the warrants included in the Private Placement Units are not redeemable by the Company and subject to certain limited exceptions, will be subject to transfer restrictions until one year following the consummation of the Business Combination. If the warrants included in the Private Placement Units are held by holders other than the initial holders or their permitted transferees, the warrants included in the Private Placement Units will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the Offering.

If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, then a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders.

Administrative Services Agreement and Other Agreements

The Company agreed to pay $20,000 a month for office space, administrative services and secretarial support to an affiliate of the Founder, GigFounders, LLC. Services commenced on May 14, 2020, the date the securities were first listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and will terminate upon the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

On May 13, 2020, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with its Founder, the Underwriters and Insiders. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. There will be no penalties associated with delays in registering the securities under the Registration Rights Agreement.

Underwriters Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments, at the Offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions. On June 27, 2020, the over-allotment option expired and the Underwriters did not exercise the option as described in Note 3.

The Company paid an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit to the Underwriters at the closing of the Offering. The underwriting discount was paid in cash. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay deferred underwriting commissions of $0.40 per Unit, or $8,000,000 in the aggregate. The deferred underwriting commission will become payable to the Underwriters from the amount held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, including the performance of services described below. As further described in Note 4, the Underwriters have purchased 243,479 Private Placement Units, of which each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Common Stock, and three-fourths (3/4) of one Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,434,790.

The Underwriters will use their commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Company with the following services: 1) originating and introducing the Company to potential targets for a Business Combination; 2) arranging institutional investor meetings on the Company’s behalf in connection with obtaining financing for the Business Combination; 3) assisting the Company in meeting its securities exchange listing requirements following the closing of the Offering; and 4) providing capital markets advice and liquidity to the Company following the closing of the Offering. If the Company uses its best efforts (and the Underwriters use commercially reasonable efforts) to obtain financing in private placements or privately negotiated transactions, but notwithstanding such efforts, the Company does not have sufficient cash necessary to consummate the Business Combination and pay the deferred underwriting commission, the Company and the Underwriters will cooperate in good faith to come to a mutually-satisfactory solution with respect to the payment of the deferred underwriting commission so as to ensure that the Company’s obligation to pay the deferred underwriting commission shall not impede the closing of the Business Combination.

Related Party Loan

The Company entered into a promissory note agreement with the Founder under which $

13

100,000 was loaned to the Company for the payment of expenses related to the Offering. The promissory note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and was repaid in full on May 18, 2020.

6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

The authorized Common Stock of the Company includes up to 100,000,000 shares. Holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock. As of March 31, 2021, there were 7,472,248 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and not subject to possible redemption. There were 18,421,231 shares of Common Stock subject to possible redemption issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2021.

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Warrants (Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants)

Warrants will be exercisable for $11.50 per share, and the exercise price and number of warrant shares issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Common Stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s Founder or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by it prior to such issuance), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 65% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Company’s initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of its initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading-day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the price at which the Company issues the additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities.

Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Offering and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption. However, if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination on or prior to the 18-month period allotted to complete the Business Combination, the warrants will expire at the end of such period. If the Company is unable to deliver registered shares of Common Stock to the holder upon exercise of the warrants during the exercise period, there will be no net cash settlement of these warrants and the warrants will expire worthless, unless they may be exercised on a cashless basis in the circumstances described in the Warrant Agreement. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, only in the event that the last sale price of the Company’s shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a new registration statement under the Securities Act, following the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, for the registration of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants included in the Units and Private Placement Units.

As of March 31, 2021, there were 15,670,097 warrants outstanding.

Stock-based Compensation

Also included in the outstanding shares of Common Stock are 15,000 shares issued in consideration of future services to the Insiders, who are non-employee consultants. These shares are subject to forfeiture if the individuals resign or are terminated for cause prior to the completion of the Business Combination. If an initial Business Combination occurs and these shares have not been previously forfeited, the fair value of the Common Stock on the date the shares vest will be recognized as stock-based compensation in the Company’s condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss when the completion of the Business Combination becomes probable.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

The Company has determined that the warrants issued as part of the Private Placement Units are subject to treatment as a liability. As the transfer of these warrants to anyone other than the purchasers or their permitted transferees, would result in these warrants having substantially the same terms as the warrants issued in the Offering, the Company has determined that the fair value of each warrant issued as part of the Private Placement Units approximates the fair value of a warrant issued in the Offering. Accordingly, the warrants issued as part of the Private Placement Units are classified as Level 2 financial instruments.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The marketable securities held in the Trust Account are considered trading securities as they are generally used with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price and therefore, the realized and unrealized gain and loss are recorded in the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the periods presented.

Additionally, there was $1,830 of interest accrued, but not yet credited to the Trust Account, which was recorded in the condensed balance sheet in interest receivable on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2021.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 6, 2021, the Company completed the Business Combination with Lightning Systems, Inc. and changed its name to Lightning eMotors, Inc. In conjunction with the Business Combination, and prior to the special meeting of stockholders to approve the Business Combination, the holders of 5,816,664 shares of the Company’s common stock sold in the Offering exercised their right to redeem those shares for cash at a price of $10.1019 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $58.8 million, which redemption occurred concurrent with the consummation of the Business Combination. The Company also completed the sale of 2,500,000 shares of Company common stock for $25,000,000 under the PIPE Subscription Agreement and the funding of $100,000,000 in convertible debt under the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements described in Note 1.

Overview

We are a newly organized Private-to-Public Equity (PPE) company, also known as a blank check company or special purpose acquisition vehicle, incorporated in the State of Delaware and formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds from the sale of units (the “Units”) in our initial public offering (the “Offering”), the sale of the units (the “Private Placement Units”) to our Founder and Underwriters, the sale of common stock to our Founder, our common equity or any preferred equity that we may create in accordance with the terms of our charter documents, debt, or a combination of cash, common or preferred equity and debt. The Units sold in the Offering each consisted of one share of common stock, and three-fourths (3/4) of one redeemable warrant to purchase our common stock (no fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants). The Private Placement Units were substantially similar to the Units sold in the Offering, but for certain differences in the warrants included in each of them. For clarity, the warrants included in the Units are referred to herein as the “public warrants”, and the warrants included in the Private Placement Units are referred to herein as the “private warrants”.

The issuance of additional shares of common stock or the creation of one or more classes of preferred stock during our initial Business Combination:

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant indebtedness, it could result in:

We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans.

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. For the period from February 3, 2020 (date of inception) through March 31, 2021, our only activities have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Offering and to identify a target business for and closing of the Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account at Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. in New York, New York with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, which was funded after the Offering to hold an amount of cash and marketable securities equal to that raised in the Offering. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our audited balance sheet of December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $104,909, which consisted of operating expenses of $1,020,645, and a provision for income taxes of $707 partially offset by other income from the change in fair value of warrants of $911,347 and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $5,096.

For the period from February 3, 2020 (date of inception) through March 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $$25,788, which consisted of operating expenses of $25,788.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On May 18, 2020, we consummated the closing of the Offering with the delivery of 20,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Offering, we consummated the closing of the Private Placement with the sale of 650,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per unit to our Founder and sale of 243,479 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per unit to the Underwriters, generating aggregated gross proceeds of $8,934,790.

17

Following the closing of the Offering and the Private Placement, a total of $202,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $12,785,179 in offering related costs, including $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $8,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and $785,179 of other costs. Subsequently to the closing of the Offering, offering costs of $785,179 accrued for at the closing of the Offering were reduced to 732,907. Therefore, total transaction costs amounted to $12,732,907.

As of March 31, 2021, we held cash and marketable securities in the amount of $202,034,396 (including $47,119 of interest earned) in the Trust Account. In addition, there was interest receivable to the Trust Account of $1,830. The marketable securities consisted of money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. Interest income earned from the funds held in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. For the period from three months ended March 31, 2021, we did not withdraw any funds from the interest earned on the Trust Account.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $744,033, consisting of a net loss of $104,909, a decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability of $911,347, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $5,096 including interest receivable of $1,830 and an increase in net operating assets of $101,047, including an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $116,512, a decrease in other non-current assets of $29,375, and an increase in receivable from related party of $13,910, that were partially offset by an increase in net operating liabilities of $378,366, including an increase in accrued liabilities of $389,324, a decrease in accounts payable of $21,023, an increase in other current liabilities of $707 for our year-to-date income taxes, and an increase in payable to related parties of $9,358.

On December 10, 2020, we entered into that certain PIPE Subscription Agreement with BP Technology Ventures, Inc., pursuant to which, among other things, we agreed to issue and sell to the BP Technology Ventures, Inc., in a private placement to close the PIPE Investment immediately prior to the closing of the business combination for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000,000. The obligations of the parties to consummate the PIPE Investment are conditioned upon, among other things, all conditions precedent to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements having been satisfied or waived, and the closing of the transaction contemplated by such PIPE Subscription Agreement occurring concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements. The PIPE Investment will be consummated concurrently with the closing of the business combination with Lightning.

On December 10, 2020, we also entered into certain Convertible Note Subscription Agreements with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which, among other things, we agreed to issue and sell to the Convertible Note Investors, in private placements to close immediately prior to the closing of the business combination with Lightning, (a) the Convertible Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000,000, which shall bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum, payable semi-annually, and be convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $11.50 in accordance with the terms thereof, and shall mature three (3) years after their issuance ,and (b) the Convertible Note Warrants to purchase up to 8,695,652 shares of common stock for a per share exercise price of $11.50. The Convertible Notes are convertible into 8,695,652 shares of Common Stock at the conversion price of $11.50. The obligations to consummate the Convertible Note investment are conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. The Convertible Note investment will be consummated substantially concurrently with the closing of the business combination with Lightning.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable by us), to acquire a target business or businesses to complete our initial Business Combination and to pay our expenses relating thereto. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. We estimate our annual franchise tax obligations to be approximately $200,000. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to affect our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

As of March 31, 2021, we had cash of $426,268 held outside the Trust Account.

On May 6, 2021, we completed the Business Combination with Lightning Systems, Inc. and changed our name to Lightning eMotors, Inc. In conjunction with the Business Combination, and prior to the special meeting of stockholders to approve the Business Combination, the holders of 5,816,664 shares of our common stock sold in the Offering exercised their right to redeem those shares for cash at a price of $10.1019 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $58.8 million, which redemption occurred concurrent with the consummation of the Business Combination. We also completed the sale of 2,500,000 shares of Company common stock for $25,000,000 under the PIPE Subscription Agreement and the funding of $100,000,000 in convertible debt under the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2021, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2021, 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 Founder a monthly fee of $20,000 for office space, administrative services and secretarial support. We began incurring these fees on May 14, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, will adopt the new or revised accounting standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. We apply the two-class method in calculating the net loss per common share. Shares of common stock subject to possible redemption as of March 31, 2021 have been excluded from the calculation of the basic net loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. When calculating our diluted net loss per share, we have not considered the effect of (i) the incremental number of shares of common stock to settle warrants sold in the Offering and Private Placement, as calculated using the treasury stock method; (ii) the shares issued to the Insiders representing 15,000 shares of common stock underlying restricted stock awards for the periods they were outstanding; and (iii) the 750,000 shares of common stock issued to the Founder that were forfeited due to the over-allotment option not being exercised by the Underwriters. Since we were in net loss position during the period after deducting net income attributable to common stock subject to redemption, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for the periods presented as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.

In accordance with the two-class method, our net loss is adjusted for net income that is attributable to common stock subject to redemption, as these shares only participate in the income of the Trust Account and not our losses. Accordingly, net loss per common share, basic and diluted, is calculated as follows:

19

Common Stock subject to possible redemption

We account for our common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2021, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our condensed balance sheet.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for warrants for shares of the Company’s common stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the condensed balance sheets. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense), net on the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the common stock warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liability related to the common stock warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As of March 31, 2021, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. The funds held in the Trust Account are only to be invested in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes having a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act and that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

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

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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 March 31, 2021. 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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During our most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we supplement the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021 with the following risk factor. Any of these factors disclosed in our Annual Report om Form 10-K or herein could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Certain of our warrants are accounted for as a warrant liability and are recorded at fair value upon issuance with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

We had 670,108 warrants that were issued in private placements that occurred concurrently with the Offering (the “private warrants”). These private warrants and the shares of Company common stock issuable upon the exercise of the private warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the private warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the private warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering, in which case the 670,108 private warrants could be redeemed by the Company for $6,701. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company is required to evaluate contingent exercise provisions of these warrants and then their settlement provisions to determine whether they should be accounted for as a warrant liability or as equity. Any settlement amount not equal to the difference between the fair value of a fixed number of the Company’s equity shares and a fixed monetary amount precludes these warrants from being considered indexed to its own stock, and therefore, from being accounted for as equity. As a result of the provision that the private warrants, when held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, will be redeemable by the Company, the requirements for accounting for these warrants as equity are not satisfied. Therefore, the Company is required to account for these private warrants as a warrant liability and record (a) that liability at fair value, which was determined as the same as the fair value of the warrants included in the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering, and (b) any subsequent changes in fair value as of the end of each period for which earnings are reported. As the fair value of the warrants is not considered material to the historical financial statements, the historical amounts were revised in the condensed financial statements included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The impact of changes in fair value on earnings may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
