1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Organization and General

Parabellum Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 5, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) and activities necessary to identify a potential target for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 27, 2021. On September 30, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 12,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $125,000,000, which is described in Note 3. On October 15, 2021, the underwriter exercised in full its over-allotment option to purchase additional 1,875,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit.

Each Unit consists of one Public Share and three-quarters (3/4) of a warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable for one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per full share (each a “Public Warrant”).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 6,225,000 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 Parabellum Acquisition Partners, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $6,225,000, which is described in Note 4.

An aggregate of nine (9) qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors’ groups (collectively, the “Anchor Investors”) were allocated and purchased a total of 11,137,500 Units or 77.5% of the outstanding Units following the Initial Public Offering and exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter, for gross proceeds of approximately $111.4 million.

In addition, subject to each Anchor Investor purchasing 100% of the Units allocated to it, in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor sold a portion of Founder Shares to each Anchor Investor, or an aggregate of 495,000 Founders Shares to all Anchor Investors. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these Founder Shares attributable to Anchor Investors to be approximately $2.93 million, or $5.93 per share. Simultaneously with the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter, the Company sold the additional total of 112,500 Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these Founder Shares to be approximately $667,125, or $5.93 per share. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares was determined to be a contribution from the Sponsor for offering costs in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5T. Offering costs were accounted for as described in Note 2 to the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on September 30, 2021 (the “IPO Date”), and the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter on October 15, 2021, an amount of $145,187,500 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and a portion of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”).

As of the IPO Date, transaction costs amounted to $10,343,978, consisting of $2,500,000 of underwriting fees, $4,375,000 of deferred underwriting fees, $2,930,399 representing the aggregate fair value of Founder Shares sold to Anchor Investors and $538,579 of other offering costs. The Company’s remaining cash after payment of the Initial Public Offering costs is held outside the Trust Account for working capital purposes. Of the total transaction costs of $10,343,978 as of the IPO Date, $9,809,375 was allocated to the Class A common stock and $534,603 was allocated to the Public Warrants.

​

As of October 15, 2021, transaction costs related to the exercise of the over-allotment option amounted to $1,941,520, consisting of $375,000 of underwriting fees, $656,250 of deferred underwriting fees, $667,125 representing the aggregate fair value of Founder Shares sold to Anchor Investors, and $243,145 of other offering costs. Of the total transaction costs of $1,941,520 related to the exercise of the over-allotment option, $1,865,801 was allocated to the Class A common stock and $75,719 was allocated to the Public Warrants.

Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. NYSE rules provide that the 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 (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement to enter 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a business combination.

The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding any deferred underwriting fees and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to continue operations. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Management has agreed that an amount equal to at least $10.10 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including proceeds of the Private Placement Warrants, will be held in the Trust Account, located in the United States and invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.10 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation then in effect (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or don’t vote at all.

​

Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination in conjunction with a stockholder vote on an initial Business Combination pursuant to a proxy solicitation, 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% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (b) to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by March 30, 2023, (c) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination by March 30, 2023, or (ii) 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, and (d) not to sell any of the Founder Shares or Public Shares to the Company in any tender offer the Company undertakes in connection with a proposed Business Combination.

The Company will have until March 30, 2023 to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Window”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination 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 ten 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 the Company to pay its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window. The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 8) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination 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 for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.10 per Public Share or (1) the actual 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, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay our taxes. 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 and except as 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 (except 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.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $613,599 in its operating bank accounts, $145,447,559 in securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in connection therewith and working capital of $400,287. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to obtain approval for an extension of the deadline or complete a Business Combination by March 30, 2023, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating.

The Company has until March 30, 2023, 18 months from the closing of the IPO, to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by the specified period. If a Business Combination is not consummated by March 30, 2023, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the date that these financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Table of Contents

PARABELLUM ACQUISITION CORP.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

​

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 financial statement in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Leases

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The Company assesses its contracts at inception to determine whether the contract contains a lease, including evaluation of whether the contract conveys the right to control an explicitly or implicitly identified asset for a period of time. At the adoption date, the Company recognized a $72,007 right-of-use asset, and a $76,141 lease liability that represents the net present value of future operating lease payments utilizing a discount rate corresponding to the Company’s incremental borrowing rate and is amortized over the remaining term of the lease. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements below for additional information related to the adoption of this guidance.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in U.S. Treasury Bills. These securities are presented on the condensed balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Earnings on these securities is included in dividend and interest income in the accompanying condensed Statement of Operations and is automatically reinvested. The fair value for these securities is determined using quoted market prices in active markets.

Through June 30, 2022, the Company did not withdraw any of interest income from the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations.

​

Offering Costs

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounted to $12,285,498 and are 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 associated with derivative warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the Public Shares were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, under the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 Topic 5.A, Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s), the Company included in offering costs amounts incurred by the Sponsor through the sale of the Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors on behalf of the Company (Note 5).

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that 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 Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption was accreted to its redemption value at the IPO and is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Income Taxes

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

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

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, and U.S. Treasury Bills, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

Table of Contents

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

​

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for warrants for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet. The warrants will be re-evaluated for the proper accounting treatment at each reporting period and 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 statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the Class A common stock warrants. At that time, the portion of the liability related to the Class A common stock warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital (Notes 8 and 9).

Risks and Uncertainties

Results of operations and the Company’s ability to complete an Initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond its control. The business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, increases in interest rates, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. The Company cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an Initial Business Combination. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of Common shares outstanding during the period. Weighted average shares for the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021 were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 468,750 Class B Common shares that were subject to forfeiture until the over-allotment option was exercised by the underwriter on October 15, 2021 (see Note 8). As a result of the overallotment being exercised in full, the weighted average shares outstanding from the prior period have been retrospectively adjusted and no longer exclude the shares that had previously been subject to forfeiture.

The Company’s statements of operations include a presentation of net income (loss) per share subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. With respect to the accretion of the Class A Shares subject to possible redemption and consistent with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the Company deemed the fair value of the Class A Common shares subject to possible redemption to approximate the contractual redemption value and the accretion has no impact on the calculation of net income per share.

The Company’s Public Warrants (see Note 3) and Private Placement Warrants could potentially be exercised or converted into common shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. However, these warrants were excluded when calculating diluted net income (loss) per share because the warrants were anti-dilutive as their exercise price was in excess of the average Class A common

stock price over the periods presented. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as basic net income (loss) per share for the periods presented. 17,381,250 potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, which establishes new accounting and disclosure requirements for leases. ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to classify most leases as either finance or operating leases and to initially recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 on January 1, 2022 using the effective date approach to recognize and measure leases as of the adoption date. The Company has elected to utilize the available practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components as well as the package of practical expedients that allows the Company not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date are or contain a lease, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the adoption date. As a result of the adoption of this guidance, the Company recorded a non-cash transaction to recognize on January 1, 2022 lease liabilities totaling $76,141 and right-of-use-assets totaling $72,007, which will be amortized over the remaining terms of the lease.

3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On September 30, 2021, the Company completed the Initial Public Offering whereby the Company sold 12,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. On October 15, 2021, the underwriter exercised in full its over-allotment option to purchase additional 1,875,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one of the Public Shares and three-quarters (3/4) of a warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable for one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per full share (each a “Public Warrant”). As a result, at least four Public Warrants must be exercised in order to obtain whole shares of Class A common stock upon the exercise of the Public Warrants. Under the terms of the warrant agreement dated September 27, 2021 (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 to register the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Public Warrants. See Note 1 for further details.

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 Class A 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 Class A 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 (i) 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 Class A 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, and (ii) a price of $0.10 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 Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share and is less than $18.00 per share on the trading day on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Public Warrant holders.

On October 20, 2021, the Company announced that the holders of the Company’s Units may elect to separately trade the securities underlying such Units which commenced on October 26, 2021. Any Units not separated will continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “PRBM.U.” Any underlying shares of Class A common stock and warrants that are separated will trade on the NYSE under the symbols “PRBM,” and “PRBM.WS,” respectively.

​

4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,225,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant ($6,225,000 in the aggregate), each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, in a private placement. On October 15, 2021, concurrently with the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter, the Sponsor purchased additional 375,000 Private Placement Warrants generating additional aggregate gross proceeds of $375,000. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window, 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 the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On March 10, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering costs of the Company in consideration for 3,593,750 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”). The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 468,750 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will collectively own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor does not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering and does not sell any Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors). On October 15, 2021, the over-allotment option was exercised in full by the underwriter resulting in none of the Founder Shares being forfeited.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year  after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 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 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property.

In addition, subject to each Anchor Investor purchasing 100% of the Units allocated to it, in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor sold a portion of Founder Shares to each Anchor Investor, or an aggregate of 495,000 founders shares to all Anchor Investors. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these Founder Shares attributable to Anchor Investors to be approximately $2.93 million, or $5.93 per share. Simultaneously with the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter, the Company sold the additional total of 112,500 Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these Founder Shares to be approximately $667,125, or $5.93 per share. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares was determined to be a contribution from the Sponsor for offering costs in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5T. These offering costs were allocated between the Public Shares and Public Warrants. The offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were offset against the temporary equity and those allocated to the Public Warrants were expensed upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on September 27, 2021 to pay the Sponsor a total of $15,000 per month for office space, utilities and administrative support services. Since the Company has not used the Sponsor’s services since inception, no expenses have been incurred in relation to this agreement through June 30, 2022.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. There were no amounts borrowed under the Working Capital Loans as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

6. LEASES

The Company is obligated under a noncancelable operating lease for its office space in Campbell, California, expiring in May 2023 (the “Campbell Lease”). In addition, the Company is required to share in certain taxes and operating expenses of the Campbell Lease.

The Company recorded a non-cash transaction to recognize on January 1, 2022 lease liabilities totaling $76,141 and right-of-use-assets totaling $72,007. This lease liability represents the net present value of future lease payments for the Campbell Lease utilizing a discount rate of 2.45%, which corresponds to the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. As of June 30, 2022, the remaining lease term was 0.9 years. The Company recorded expenses related to the Campbell Lease of $12,958 and $25,915 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company recorded no expenses related to the Campbell Lease during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and during the period from February 5, 2021 through June 30, 2021. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company made cash payments of $13,514 and $27,028 for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities.

The following table reconciles the undiscounted lease liabilities to the total lease liabilities recognized on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022:

​

​

​

7. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) is calculated quarterly based upon current assumptions relating to the full year’s estimated operating results and various tax-related items. The Company’s ETR was 1.4% and 0% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company’s ETR was 1.4% and 0% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate of 1.4% and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to the ETR adjustment, the change in the fair value of the warrant liability, utilization of net operating loss, and the change in the valuation allowance. The difference between the effective tax rate of 0% and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and for the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021 was primarily due to recognizing a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

The Company has no uncertain tax positions related to federal and state income taxes. The 2021 federal tax return for the Company remains open for examination. In the event that the Company is assessed interest or penalties at some point in the future, it will be classified in the financial statements as tax expense.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement dated as of September 27, 2021, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriter’s Agreement

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,875,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions which was exercised in full on October 15, 2021.

The underwriter received a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $2,875,000, including for full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $5,031,250 including for full exercise of the underwriter’s over- allotment option. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. See Note 1 for further details.

​

9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value common stock. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 14,375,000 shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of Class B, $0.0001 par value common stock. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 3,593,750 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

Only holders of Class B common stock will have the right to vote on the election of directors prior to the Business Combination. 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.

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 prospectus dated September 27, 2021 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 completion of the Initial Public Offering 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, and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company).

​

10. WARRANTS

The Company has 17,381,250 Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2022, of which 10,781,250 are Public Warrants and 6,600,000 are Private Placement Warrants (“the Warrants”).

The Company has accounted for the Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Offering in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that, because the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each Warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies each warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the Warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the company’s statement of operations.

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the consummation 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 consummation 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 Public 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 prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption (except as described with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

Table of Contents

PARABELLUM ACQUISITION CORP.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

​

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue 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”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Company’s initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of such initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates 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 the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, (ii) the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and (iii) the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants will and the common shares 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 will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following tables presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

​

​

​

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within the statement of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a gain on the change in fair value of the warrant liability in the unaudited condensed statements of operations resulting from decreases in the fair value of the warrant liabilities of $1,738,126 and $5,562,001, respectively.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding Public Warrants as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was determined based on the market price of the Public Warrants as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, as the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded in an active market during the period.

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants classified as a Level 2 measurement as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as all of the significant inputs to the valuation model used to estimate the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants became directly or indirectly observable from the listed Public Warrants.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Overview

We are a blank check company, incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 5, 2021 and formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. We have not identified an acquisition target. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds from the sale of Public Units in our Offering, the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor, 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 Public Units sold in the Offering each consisted of one share of Class A common stock, and three-quarters (3/4) of one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Class A common stock (no fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants). The Private Placement Warrants were substantially similar to the Public Units sold in the Offering, but for certain differences in the warrants included in each of them. For clarity, the warrants included in the Public Units are referred to herein as the “public warrants,” and the warrants included in the Private Placement Warrants are referred to herein as the “private warrants.”

We expect 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 and Known Trends or Future Events

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. From February 5, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2022, our only activities have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Public Offering and to identify a target business for 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 JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. in New York, New York with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, which was funded after the Public Offering to hold an amount of cash and marketable securities equal to the redemption amount of the Public Units sold in the Public Offering. 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 June 30, 2022, we had net income of $1,597,893, which included $1,738,126 of other income related to the change in the fair value of the warrant liability and $220,299 of dividend and interest income earned in the trust account, offset by $284,724 in general and administrative expenses and $75,808 of current tax expense.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of $5,152,885, which included $5,562,001 of other income related to the change in the fair value of the warrant liability and $246,536 of dividend and interest income earned in the trust account, offset by $579,844 in general and administrative expenses and $75,808 of current tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash of $613,599, and net working capital of $400,287. Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of common stock by the Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor.

On September 30, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 12,500,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $125,000,000. On October 15, 2021, the underwriter exercised in full its over-allotment option to purchase additional 1,875,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter, we consummated the sale of 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant generating gross proceeds of $6,600,000.

An aggregate of nine Anchor Investors were allocated and purchased a total of 11,137,500 Units or 77.5% of the outstanding Units following the Initial Public Offering and exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter, for gross proceeds of approximately $111.4 million.

In addition, subject to each Anchor Investor purchasing 100% of the Units allocated to it, in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor sold a portion of Founder Shares to each Anchor Investor, or an aggregate of 495,000 Founders Shares to all Anchor Investors. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these Founder Shares attributable to Anchor Investors to be approximately $2.93 million, or $5.93 per share. Simultaneously with the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter, the Company sold the additional total of 112,500 Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these Founder Shares to be approximately $667,125, or $5.93 per share.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on September 30, 2021 and the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter on October 15, 2021, an amount of $145,187,500 ($10.10 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 the Trust Account.

As of the IPO Date, transaction costs amounted to $10,343,978, consisting of $2,500,000 of underwriting fees, $4,375,000 of deferred underwriting fees, $2,930,399 representing the aggregate fair value of Founder Shares sold to Anchor Investors and $538,579 of other offering costs. The Company’s remaining cash after payment of the Initial Public Offering costs is held outside the Trust Account for working capital purposes. Of the total transaction costs of $10,343,978 as of the IPO Date, $9,809,375 was allocated to the Class A common stock and $534,603 was allocated to the Public Warrants.

As of October 15, 2021, transaction costs related to the exercise of the over-allotment option amounted to $1,941,520, consisting of $375,000 of underwriting fees, $656,250 of deferred underwriting fees, $667,125 representing the aggregate fair value of Founder Shares sold to Anchor Investors, and $243,145 of other offering costs. Of the total transaction costs of $1,941,520 related to the exercise of the over-allotment option, $1,865,801 was allocated to the Class A common stock and $75,719 was allocated to the Public Warrants.

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. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

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

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial 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.

As described more fully in Note 1 to the Financial Statements if the Company is unable to obtain approval for an extension of the deadline or complete a Business Combination by March 30, 2023, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The Company has until March 30, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by the specified period. If a Business Combination is not consummated by March 30, 2023, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date that these financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company prepares its financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect reported amounts. Estimations are considered critical accounting estimates based on, among other things, its impact on the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity, as well as the degree of difficulty, subjectivity, and complexity in its deployment. Critical accounting estimates address accounting matters that are inherently uncertain due to unknown future resolution of such matters. Management routinely discusses the development, selection, and disclosure of each critical accounting estimates. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s policies, estimates and assumptions during the six-months ended June 30, 2022, except as noted below. Reference should be made to the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a full description of other significant accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, which establishes new accounting and disclosure requirements for leases. ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to classify most leases as either finance or operating leases and to initially recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 on January 1, 2022 using the effective date approach to recognize and measure leases as of the adoption date. The Company has elected to utilize the available practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components as well as the package of practical expedients that allows the Company not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date are or contain a lease, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the adoption date. As a result of the adoption of this guidance, the Company recorded a non-cash transaction to recognize on January 1, 2022 lease liabilities totaling $76,141 and right-of-use-assets totaling $72,007, which will be amortized over the remaining terms of the lease.

Management does not believe that other any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us or any of our officers or directors in their corporate capacity.

​

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we supplement the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022 with the following risk factors. Any of these factors disclosed in our Annual Report on 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.

Recent volatility in capital markets may affect our ability to obtaining financing for our initial Business Combination through sales of our shares of common stock or issuance of indebtedness.

With uncertainty in the capital markets and other factors, financing for our initial Business Combination may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of holders of our shares of common stock. Any debt financing secured by us could involve additional restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may limit the operations and growth of the surviving company of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, we could face significant limitations on our ability to complete our initial Business Combination.

To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we may, at any time, instruct the trustee to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of securities in the Trust Account, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

The funds in the Trust Account have, since our Offering, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we may, at any time, and we expect that we will (if a period to complete a Business Combination is ever extended to 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or longer subject to the required stockholders’ approval), on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement (if, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of consummation of our initial Business Combination or liquidation of the Company. Following such liquidation, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted. As a result, any decision to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

In addition, even prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement, we may be deemed to be an investment company. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate the Company. Accordingly, we may determine, in our discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account at any time, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash, which would further reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Use of Proceeds

On September 30, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 12,500,000 units (the “Public Units”). On October 15, 2021, the Company completed the issuance of an additional 1,875,000 Public Units as a result of the Underwriter’s partial exercise of their over-allotment option. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $143,750,000.

Simultaneously with the consummation of our Initial Public Offering and full exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter, we consummated the private placement of 6,600,000 warrants in the aggregate (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the sponsor, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant. The sale of the Private Placement Warrants in connection with our IPO and subsequent over-allotment option exercise generated gross proceeds of $6,600,000.

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option to purchase additional Public Units, and the Private Placement Warrants, $145,187,500 was placed in the Trust Account. The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants are invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account.

Transaction costs related to the Initial Public Offering amounted to $10,343,978, consisting of $2,500,000 of underwriting fees, $4,375,000 of deferred underwriting fees, $2,930,399 representing the aggregate fair value of Founder Shares sold to Anchor Investors and $538,579 of other offering costs. The underwriter’s exercise of their full over-allotment option generated an additional $1,941,520, consisting of $375,000 of underwriting fees, $656,250 of deferred underwriting fees, $667,125 representing the aggregate fair value of Founder Shares sold to Anchor Investors, and $243,145 of other offering costs. In addition, as of June 30, 2022, $617,006 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes.

There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from the initial public offering and private placement as is described in our final prospectus related to the Initial Public Offering.
