NORTH MOUNTAIN MERGER CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
(Unaudited)
|
NOTE 1.
DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
North Mountain Merger Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware as a
blank check company on July 14, 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”).
Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic
region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus on businesses in the financial technology segment of the broader financial services industry. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company
and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not yet commenced any operations.
All activity for the period from July 14, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and, subsequent to the Initial
Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was
declared effective on September 17, 2020. On September 22, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 13,225,000
units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,725,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit,
generating gross proceeds of $132,250,000, which is described in Note 4.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company
consummated the sale of 4,145,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and, collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”)
at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to North Mountain LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross
proceeds of $4,145,000, which is described in Note 5.
Transaction costs amounted to $7,385,802, consisting of $2,417,300 of underwriting fees, $4,628,750 of deferred underwriting fees and $339,752
of other offering costs.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on September 22, 2020, an
amount of $132,250,000 ($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”) 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 the 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 or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as
described below, except that interest earned on the Trust Account can be released to the Company to fund its regulatory compliance costs and to pay its tax obligations (“permitted withdrawals”).
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the cash held outside of the Trust Account initially
funded by the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. The
Company’s initial Business Combination 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 (net of permitted withdrawals and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting
discount) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register
as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete a Business Combination.
The Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all
or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the
Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of
the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per Public Share) plus a pro rata portion of the interest earned on
the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously withdrawn to fund permitted withdrawals. The per share amount to be distributed to public stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting
commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter (as discussed in Note 7). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
(Unaudited)
|
The Company will not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause its
net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (so that it does not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). If the
Company seeks stockholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination, or such other vote as required by
law or stock exchange rule. If a stockholder vote is not required by law or stock exchange rule and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “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 law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem Public 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 Company’s Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as
defined below in Note 6) 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 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 Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other
person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from 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 and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed (a) to waive
their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
(a) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does
not complete a Business Combination or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem
their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
The Company will have until September 22, 2022 to consummate a Business
Combination (the “Completion Window”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window, 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 make permitted withdrawals (and 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 the public
stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, 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 Completion Window.The Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from
the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s officers, directors or any of their affiliates acquires
Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Completion
Window. The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to its deferred underwriting commission (see Note 7) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window 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 (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business
with which the Company has discussed entering into a definitive agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00
per share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims
by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter 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 (other than the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the
Trust Account.
Going Concern and Managements’ Plan
As of September 30, 2021, the company had $576,437
of cash within the operating bank account and a working capital balance of $633,103.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. In connection with the
Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management believes that it will
need to obtain additional capital in order to have adequate liquidity to sustain operations, which consists of pursuing a Business Combination. While the Company expects to have sufficient access to additional sources of capital if necessary,
there is no current commitment on the part of any financing source to provide additional capital and no assurances can be provided that such additional capital will ultimately be available. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time through at least one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
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 financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2021, management identified errors made in its
historical financial statements where, at the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, the Company improperly accounted for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption. In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on
redeemable equity instruments, ASC 480, paragraph 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company previously determined
the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per share of Class A common stock
while also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Management determined
that the Class A common stock issued during the Initial Public Offering can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered outside the Company’s control. Therefore, management concluded that temporary equity
should include all shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption. As a result, management has noted an error related to temporary equity and permanent equity. This resulted in a restatement to the initial carrying value of the Class
A common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A common stock.
In connection with the correction in presentation for the Class A common stock subject to redemption, the Company also restated its income (loss) per common
stock calculated to allocate net income (loss) 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 pro rata in the income (loss)
of the Company. There is no impact to the reported amounts for total assets, total liabilities, cash flows, or net income (loss).
The impact of the revision on the Company’s financial statements is reflected in the following table.

NOTE 3. 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 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain
information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they
do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial 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 interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for period ended December 31, 2021 or for any future periods.

NORTH MOUNTAIN MERGER CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
(Unaudited)
|
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the
Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not
emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations
regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not
previously approved.
Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies
from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities
registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that
apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different
application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s
financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences
in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably
possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one
or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these condensed financial statements is the
determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. 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 September 30,
2021 and December 31, 2020.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust
Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury Securities.
All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading
securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable
securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.
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 charged to temporary equity. Offering costs amounted to $339,752, of which $313,144 was charged to temporary equity and $26,608 was expensed as incurred in the statement of operation upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

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 is classified as a liability instrument
and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is 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, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of
the Company’s condensed 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 measurement from carrying amount to redemption value. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of
redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.
At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Class A common stock reflected in the condensed balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

Warrant Liabilities
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and
applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The
assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification
under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, 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
Modified Black-Scholes Model. The fair value of the public warrants was initially measured using the Modified Black-Scholes model, and then subsequently measured at the public trading price. The key inputs and assumptions used for the
Modified Black-Scholes model were the common stock price, expected term in years, expected volatility derived using a Monte Carlo Simulation, exercise price, and risk-free interest rate (see Note 10).
Income Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement 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.
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. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and
penalties as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal, state and city
taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal, state and city tax laws.
The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Stock
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the
period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Remeasurement adjustment associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value
approximates fair value. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 10,757,500 shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise price of the warrants was below the average market price for the period.
The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i)
Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, 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 stock is the same as basic net loss per common stock for the periods presented.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and
diluted net income per common stock (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.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as
financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for warrant liabilities (see Note 9).
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 4. PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 13,225,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of its option to purchase an additional 1,725,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00
per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and
of one 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 5. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor
purchased an aggregate of 4,145,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,145,000.
Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50. The proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If
the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable
law), and all underlying securities will expire worthless.
NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On July 14, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 3,306,250 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B common stock for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 431,250
shares of Class B common stock subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part so that the Sponsor would own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A
common stock upon the consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustments as described in Note 8.
As a result of the underwriter’s election to fully exercise the over-allotment option, 431,250 Founder Shares are no longer subject
to forfeiture.
The Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to
transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of a Business
Combination or (ii) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A stock common stock equals or exceeds $12.00
per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, consolidations, 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, amalgamation, share exchange,
reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the public stockholders having the right to exchange their Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Administrative Support Agreement
The Company has agreed, commencing on September 22, 2020,
to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Upon
completion of the Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred approximately $30,000 and $90,000 in fees for these
services, of which such amount is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets, respectively. For the period from July 14, 2020 (inception) through September 30,
2020, the Company did not record any fees for these services.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On July 14, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the
Sponsor (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover
expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The outstanding balance under the Promissory Note of
$75,000 was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering on September 22, 2020. No amount is outstanding as of September 30, 2021.

Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business
Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time, as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Each Working
Capital Loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The Working Capital Loans would either be paid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the holder’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the 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.
NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on September 17,
2020, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued
upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans) are entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion into shares of Class A common stock). The
holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration 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 completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to
register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Sale of Units to Related Party
Millais Limited, the indirect majority owner of the Company’s Sponsor,
purchased 1,138,500 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering at $10.00 per Unit, or $11,358,000 in the aggregate.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriter is entitled a deferred fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds from the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $4,628,750 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be forfeited by the underwriter solely in the event that the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of
the underwriting agreement. The underwriter did not receive any underwriting discount or commissions on Units purchased by Millais Limited, the indirect majority owner of the Company’s sponsor.
NOTE 8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred Stock—The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the
Company’s board of directors. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class A Common Stock—The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 13,225,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, including Class A common stock subject to possible redemption which are presented as temporary equity.

|
Class B Common Stock—The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 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. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 3,306,250 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.
Holders of Class B common stock will have the right to elect all of the
Company’s directors prior to the consummation of a Business Combination. On any other matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders, holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all
other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, except as required by law. These provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may only be amended if approved by a majority of at least 90% of the Company’s common stock voting at a stockholder meeting.
The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of
Class A common stock at the time 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 the 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 the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (not including the shares of Class A common
stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or
to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any private placement-equivalent securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any private placement equivalent securities issued to the Sponsor or its
affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company).
NOTE 9. WARRANT LIABILITY
Warrants
—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 or (b) 12
months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years
from the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A common stock pursuant
to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public
Warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating thereto is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company
will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an
exemption from registration is available.
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 reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC,
and within 60 business days following a Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the
issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. Notwithstanding the
above, if our Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at
our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in
effect a registration statement, but will use our reasonable best efforts to qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a
Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Redemptions of Warrants for Cash — Once the 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; and
|
• |
if, and only if, the closing sale price of the Company’s Class A
common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period
ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
|
If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may
exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

In addition, if 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 a newly issued price of less than $9.20
per share of Class A 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 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”), the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the Newly Issued Price.
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, except as described above, 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.
The Company’s warrant agreement governing the warrants includes a provision that provides for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the
characteristics of the holder of the warrant. In addition, the warrant agreement includes a provision that in the event of a tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of a single class of common stock, all holders of the warrants would be entitled to receive cash for their warrants (the “tender offer
provision”).
ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states
that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s common stock. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s common stock if the terms of
the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with
management and after discussion with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company’s Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common stock in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15
because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. In addition, based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management and after
discussion with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded the tender offer provision included in the warrant agreement fails the “classified in shareholders’ equity” criteria as contemplated by ASC Section
815-40-25. As such, the Company accounts for its Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as liabilities.
NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and
liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects
management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal
assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the
assets and liabilities:
Level 1: |
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
|
Level 2: |
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2
inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
|
Level 3: |
Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
|
The following table presents information about the
Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Private Placement Warrants
The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is reported in the
foregoing table as Level 3 fair value. For the period ending September 30, 2021, the Private Placement Warrants were not separately traded on an open market. As such, the Company used Modified Black-Scholes model to value the Private
Placement Warrants. The Company allocated the proceeds received from (i) the sale of Units (which is inclusive of one share of
Class A common stock and
of one Public Warrant), (ii) the sale of Private Placement Warrants, and (iii) the issuance of
shares of Class B common stock, first to the Warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds allocated to Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, Class A common stock and
Class B common stock based on their relative fair values at the initial measurement date.14

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|
References in this report (the “Quarterly Report”) to “we,” “us” or the “Company” refer to North Mountain Merger Corp. References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officers and directors, and
references to the “Sponsor” refer to North Mountain LLC. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as
“expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance,
but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking
statements. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K filed with the SEC. The Company’s securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update
or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition has been amended and restated to give effect to the
restatement of our financial statements as of September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, March 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021. Management identified errors made in its historical financial statements where, at the closing of our Initial Public Offering,
we improperly valued our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption. We previously determined the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per share of Class A common stock while
also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Management determined that the Class A common stock issued during the Initial Public Offering can be redeemed or become redeemable subject
to the occurrence of future events considered outside of the Company’s control. Therefore, management concluded that the redemption value should include all Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, resulting in the Class A common stock
subject to possible redemption being equal to their redemption value. As a result, management has noted a reclassification error related to temporary equity and permanent equity. This resulted in a restatement to the initial carrying value of the
Class A common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A common stock.
Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware 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 raise capital or to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through September 30, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering,
described below, and, after our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating
income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence
expenses.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $4,199,914, which consisted of a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $4,401,125 and interest earned on marketable securities held in the
Trust Account of $1,997, offset by operating costs of $203,208.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $4,288,586, which consisted of a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $4,974,875 and interest earned on marketable securities held in the
Trust Account of $5,926, offset by operating costs of $692,215.
For the period from July 14, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $396,369, which consisted of formation and operational costs of $18,185, change in value of warrant liability of $41,000,
and transaction costs of $355,812, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $443.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On September 22, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 13,225,000 Units, which includes the full exercise of 1,725,000 Units by the underwriters of the over-allotment option, at $10.00 per unit,
generating gross proceeds of $132,250,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 4,145,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of
$4,145,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $132,250,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $7,385,802 in
transaction costs, including $2,417,300 of underwriting fees, $4,628,750 of deferred underwriting fees and $339,752 of other offering costs.
For the nine months ending September 30, 2021 cash used in operating activities was $395,032. Net income of $4,288,586 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $5,926 and a
change in fair value of warrant liability of $4,974,875. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $297,183 of cash for operating activities.
For the period from July 14, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $404,152. Net loss of $414,554 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust
Account of $443, change in value of warrant liability of $41,000, and transaction costs of $355,812. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $385,967 of cash for operating activities.
As of September 30, 2021, we had cash and marketable securities held in the trust account of $132,259,019. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing
interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions and income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay franchise and income taxes. During the period ended September 30, 2021, we
did not withdraw any interest earned on 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.
As of September 30, 2021, we had cash of $576,437 outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due
diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target
businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or our officers and directors may, but are not obligated
to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to
repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the
option of the lender.
We will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. We may also 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 in connection of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or
incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our
Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to
obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Going Concern
As of September 30, 2021, the company had $576,437 of cash within the operating bank account and a working
capital balance of $633,103.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. In connection with the
Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we believe that we will need to obtain
additional capital in order to have adequate liquidity to sustain operations, which consists of pursuing a Business Combination. While the Company expects to have sufficient access to additional sources of capital if necessary, there is no
current commitment on the part of any financing source to provide additional capital and no assurances can be provided that such additional capital will ultimately be available. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern for a period of time through at least one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated
entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing
arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space,
administrative and support services to the Company. We began incurring these fees on September 22, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.
The underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $4,628,750 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be forfeited by the underwriter solely in the event that we fail to complete a Business Combination, subject to the
terms of the underwriting agreement. The underwriter did not receive any underwriting discount or commissions on Units purchased by Millais Limited, the indirect majority owner of our sponsor.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially
differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Warrant Liabilities
We account for the warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering in accordance as either equity-classified or liability-classified
instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC
480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust
the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of the private
warrants was estimated using a Modified Black-Scholes Model. The fair value of the public warrants was initially measured using the Modified Black-Scholes model, and then subsequently measured at the public trading price. The key inputs and
assumptions used for the Modified Black-Scholes model were the common stock price, expected term in years, expected volatility derived using a Monte Carlo Simulation, exercise price, and risk-free interest rate.
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our shares of 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 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, the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the
stockholders’ equity section of our unaudited condensed balance sheets.
Net Income per Common Stock
We calculate earnings per share to allocate net income (loss) evenly to Class A and Class B common shares. 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 (loss) of the Company.
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 our condensed financial statements.
Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|
As of September 30, 2021, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the
Trust Account, have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 185 days or less or in certain money market funds 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
|
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us
in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate 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 September 30, 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 not effective, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s inability to properly
account for complex financial instruments. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly,
management believes that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Management plans to implement remediation steps to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we plan to expand and
improve our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding
complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter of 2021 covered by this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. |
Risk Factors.
|
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed
in our annual report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 24, 2021.
In connection with the recent restatements of our financial statements, our management has concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021 due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting solely related to our accounting for complex financial instruments. If we are unable to maintain an
effective system of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our
financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and financial results.
After consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm and our management team, our audit committee concluded that it was
appropriate to restate our previously issued financial statements as described in Note 2 to the financial statements included in this report. As part of such process, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting, solely related to our accounting for complex financial instruments.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial
reports and prevent fraud. We expect to take steps to remediate the material weakness, but there is no assurance that any remediation efforts will ultimately have the intended effects.
If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect
a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely
filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken
to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.
