September 30, 2022

Note 1 - Organization and Business Operations Organization and General

Pine Technology Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on December 30, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2022, relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“IPO”) which is described below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company 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 on from the marketable securities held in the Trust Account (as defined below).

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on March 10, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On March 15, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 34,500,000 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 $345,000,000, which is discussed in Note 4.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 5,933,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, which is discussed in Note 5.

Transaction costs of the IPO amounted to $19,478,776, consisting of $6,900,000 of underwriting discount, $12,075,000 of deferred underwriting discount and $503,776 of other offering costs. Of the total transaction costs, $844,080 was expensed as non-operating expenses in that statement of operations with the rest of the transaction costs charged to stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The transaction costs were allocated based on a relative fair value basis, compared to the total offering proceeds, between the fair value of the public warrant liabilities and the Class A common stock.

Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on March 15, 2021, $345,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net offering proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and was invested in U.S. government securities, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any shares of the Company’s Class A common stock sold in the IPO properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if it does not complete its initial Business Combination within 24 months from closing of the IPO (unless extended in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation) (the “Completion Window”) or (ii) with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO, although substantially all the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination.

The Company’s 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 (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, 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 effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest (net of permitted withdrawals), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to certain limitations.

The shares of common stock subject to redemption is recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

The Company will have 24 months from the closing of the IPO (unless extended in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation) to consummate a Business Combination. However, 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 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 (net of permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 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), 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 board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, 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.

The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and public shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the public shares in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company has not consummated the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window).

The Company’s Sponsor has agreed that it will 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 entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets in each case net of permitted withdrawals, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked its Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether its Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Company’s Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

On December 7, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Pine Technology Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and The Tomorrow Companies Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tomorrow.io”). On March 6, 2022, the above parties entered into a Termination of Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Termination Agreement”) pursuant to which, due to market conditions, the parties thereto agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement effective as of such date, after taking several factors into consideration. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, Tomorrow.io was obligated to pay the Company $1,500,000 upon the earliest to occur of (a) 120 days from the date of the Termination Agreement, (b) two business days after the initial closing of Tomorrow.io’s Next Financing (as defined in the Termination Agreement) and (c) immediately prior to the consummation of a Change of Control (as defined in the Termination Agreement).The termination payment was received on July 1, 2022 As a result of the Termination Agreement, the Merger Agreement is of no further force and effect, and certain agreements entered into and in connection with the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Parent Support Agreement, dated as of December 7, 2021, by and among the Company, Tomorrow.io and Pine Technology Sponsor LLC, the Voting and Support Agreements, dated as of December 7, 2021, by and among the Company, Merger Sub, Tomorrow.io and certain Tommorrow.io stockholders, and the Subscription Agreements, dated December 7, 2021, by and among the Company and certain investors, were either terminated or no longer effective, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms.

The Company intends to continue to pursue the consummation of a business combination with an appropriate target.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash outside the Trust Account of $1,137,976 available for working capital needs. All remaining cash held in the Trust Account are unavailable for the Company’s use, prior to an initial Business Combination, and is restricted for use either in a Business Combination, to pay taxes or to redeem common stock. As September 30, 2022, $363,050 of interest income was withdrawn from the Trust Account to pay tax obligations.

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, the Company will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date that these financial statements are issued.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB’s”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until March 15, 2023, to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date and an extension has not been requested by the Sponsor and approved by the Company’s shareholders, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and an extension not requested by the Sponsor, and potential subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after March 15, 2023. The Company intends to continue to search for and seek to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of the time of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Risks and Uncertainties

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s financial position will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and related advisories and restrictions. These developments and the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, the Company’s financial position may be materially adversely affected. Additionally, the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be materially adversely affected due to significant governmental measures being implemented to contain the COVID-19 outbreak or treat its impact, including travel restrictions, the shutdown of businesses and quarantines, among others, which may limit the Company’s ability to have meetings with potential investors or affect the ability of a potential target company’s personnel, vendors and service providers to negotiate and consummate an initial Business Combination in a timely manner. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination may also be dependent on the ability to raise additional equity and debt financing, which may be impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting market downturn.

In February 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. The extent and duration of the military action, resulting sanctions and resulting future market disruptions, are impossible to predict, but could be significant. Although the Company does not currently have operations, and does not anticipate having operations, in Russia or Ukraine, sanctions, an increase in cyberattacks and increases in energy costs, among other potential impacts on regional and global economic environment and currencies, may cause demand for products and services to be volatile, and cause abrupt changes in supply and demand of products and services which has had and may continue to have broader implications to the global economy. Such instability may affect the Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination.

Note 2 – Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

The Company notes that the Class B common stock basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding and the Class A common stock and Class B common stock basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were not restated correctly due to a calculation error within the restatement note of the September 30, 2021 Form 10-Q filed on November 18, 2021. The Company has included this revision note to revise the previously restated and reported balances of the Class B common stock basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding and the Class A common stock and Class B common stock earnings per share within the Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Note 3 - 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 11, 2022, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022, or for any future interim periods.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the balance sheet for December 31, 2021, to reclassify the accrued administrative fee from accounts payable and accrued expenses to due to Sponsor.

Emerging Growth Company Status

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 auditor 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 statements in conformity with US 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 statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. The IR Act applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

At this time, it has been determined that none of the IR Act tax provisions have an impact to the Company’s fiscal 2022 tax provision. The Company will continue to monitor for updates to the Company’s business along with guidance issued with respect to the IR Act to determine whether any adjustments are needed to the Company’s tax provision in future periods.

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, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Trust Account had $346,769,996 and $345,075,817, respectively, which was invested in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. 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. During the periods ended September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company withdrew $363,050 and $0, respectively, of interest income from the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations.

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. At September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on this account.

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 ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity (deficit). The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, 34,500,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheet.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Class A Common Stock reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Net Income per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each of the periods. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Changes in fair value are not considered a dividend of the purposes of the numerator in the earnings per share calculation. The calculation of diluted income per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the IPO since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are exercisable for 17,433,333 shares of Class A common stock in the aggregate.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share of common stock (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A - “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO and that were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. Accordingly, on March 15, 2021, offering costs totaling $19,478,776 have been charged to stockholders’ equity (consisting of $6,900,000 of underwriting discount, $12,075,000 of deferred underwriting discount and $503,776 of other offering costs). Of the total transaction cost $844,080 was charged to expense as a non-operating expense in the statement of operations with the rest of the offering cost charged to stockholders’ equity. The transaction costs were allocated based on the relative fair value basis, compared to the total offering proceeds, between the fair value of the public warrant liabilities and the Class A common stock.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.

Derivative warrant liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The Company accounts for its 17,433,333 Warrants (comprising 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants) as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of Public Warrants issued by the Company in connection with the IPO was initially measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model, and then subsequently measured at the public trading price. The fair value of Private Placement Warrants has been estimated using a Modified Black-Scholes model at each measurement date.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. Our effective tax rate was 24.36% and 0% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 1.59% and 0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, due to changes in fair value in warrant liability and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Recent Accounting Standards

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

Note 4 - Initial Public Offering

Pursuant to the IPO, the Company initially sold 34,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and one-third of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.

Note 5 - Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant ($8,900,000 in the aggregate). Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account.

The Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable in certain circumstances so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees and (including the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Company’s Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Private Placement Warrants may also be exercised by the Sponsor and its permitted transferees for cash or on a “cashless basis” and the holders thereof (including with respect to the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) are entitled to registration rights. Otherwise, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants being sold as part of the Units in the IPO, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.

The Company’s initial stockholders, directors and officers have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to: (1) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and public shares held by them, as applicable, in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (2) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and public shares held by them in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the public shares in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company has not consummated the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window; and (3) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window). If the Company submits the initial Business Combination to the public stockholders for a vote, the initial stockholders, directors and officers have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and any public shares held by them in favor of the initial Business Combination.

Note 6 - Related Party Transactions Founder Shares

On December 31, 2020, the Company’s Sponsor subscribed an aggregate of 8,625,000 founder shares (the “Founder Shares”) for a total purchase price of $25,000.

With certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to the Company’s officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Company’s initial Business Combination, (x) if the reported closing price of 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 the Company’s initial Business Combination or (y) the date, following the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Promissory Note - Related Party

The Company’s Sponsor has agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $600,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. The loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and was due at the earlier of June 30, 2022, or the closing of the IPO. The Company fully repaid the loan upon the closing of the IPO out of offering proceeds not held in the Trust Account. Borrowings under this note are no longer available.

On December 6, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $350,000 to the Sponsor (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at 0.33% per annum and is repayable in full at the earlier of (i) March 15, 2023 or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an initial business combination as contemplated by its amended and restated certificate of incorporation. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had borrowed $350,000 under the promissory note and interest expense accrued on the note was $946 and $0, respectively.

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on the date of the IPO, the Company has agreed to pay an affiliate of its Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company has incurred $30,000 and $90,000 of expenses, respectively, under the Administrative Services Agreement of which such amounts are included in due to Sponsor in the accompanying condensed balance sheets. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company has incurred $30,000 and $65,000 of expenses, respectively, under the Administrative Services Agreement which are included in the accompanying condensed statement of operations.

Working Capital Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor, an affiliate of the Company’s 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 will 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. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

Expense Reimbursement

The Company’s Sponsor, directors and officers or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on its behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company paid its Chief Executive Officer and his affiliates $2,000 and $0, respectively, in respect of such expenses and for the maintenance of the Company’s website by his affiliate.

Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on March 10, 2021 requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A common stock). The holders of these securities are 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 consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lockup period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

On March 15, 2021, the Company paid a fixed underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $6,900,000 in the aggregate. Additionally, a deferred underwriting discount of $0.35 per Unit, or $12,075,000 in the aggregate, will be payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Termination of Business Combination Agreement

On December 7, 2021, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Tomorrow.io. On March 6, 2022, the Parties entered into the Termination Agreement pursuant to which, due to market conditions, the parties agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement effective as of such date, after taking several factors into consideration. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, Tomorrow.io was obligated to pay the Company $1,500,000 upon the earliest to occur of (a) 120 days from the date of the Termination Agreement, (b) two business days after the initial closing of Tomorrow.io’s Next Financing and (c) immediately prior to the consummation of a Change of Control. The Termination Payment of $1,500,000 for the reimbursement of business combination expenses was received in full on July 1, 2022.

As a result of the Termination Agreement, the Merger Agreement is of no further force and effect, and certain agreements entered into and in connection with the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Parent Support Agreement, dated as of December 7, 2021, by and among the Company, Tomorrow.io and Pine Technology Sponsor LLC, the Voting and Support Agreements, dated as of December 7, 2021, by and among the Company, Merger Sub, Tomorrow.io and certain Tommorrow.io stockholders, and the Subscription Agreements, dated December 7, 2021, by and among the Company and certain investors, will either be terminated or no longer effective, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms.

In connection with the merger (the “Merger”) contemplated under the Merger Agreement, the Company had entered into engagement letters with Moelis & Company LLC and PJT Partners LP in respect of their roles as co-placement agents for the Subscription Agreements and with Moelis & Company LLC in respect of its role as the Company’s financial advisor. Under the terms of such engagement letters, Moelis & Company LLC and PJT Partners LP were entitled to receive advisory fees upon consummation of the Merger. Certain terms and conditions of such engagements survive the Termination Agreement. Additionally, certain fees payable to the Company’s legal advisor will be payable upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination.

Note 8 - Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock - The Company is authorized to issue a total of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock at par value of $0.0001 each. At September 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 a total of 240,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at par value of $0.0001 each. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no shares issued and outstanding (excluding 34,500,000 shares subject to possible redemption which are presented as temporary equity).

Class B Common Stock - The Company is authorized to issue a total of 60,000,000 shares of Class B common stock at par value of $0.0001 each. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 8,625,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

The Company’s Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Company’s initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Company’s 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 the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at the time of its initial 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 sold in the IPO and related to the closing of the initial 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 anti-dilution 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 total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the IPO plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination (net of the number of shares of Class A common stock redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination), excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination in consideration for such seller’s interest in the Business Combination target and any Private Placement Warrants issued upon the conversion of Working Capital Loans made to the Company.

Holders of the Class B common stock and holders of the Class A common stock will vote together as a single class, except as required by applicable law or stock exchange rules.

Note 9 - Warrants

Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. 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 the 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 our board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Company’s initial stockholders 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 initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day after the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, (i) the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and (ii) the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described under “- Redemption of Warrants for Cash” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO or 30 days after the completion of its initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available, subject to the Company’s satisfying the obligations described above 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. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a Unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the share of Class A common stock underlying such Unit.

Redemption of Warrants for Cash. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption for cash:

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

The Company has established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the Company will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” the management will consider, among other factors, the cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on the stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the fair market value of the Class A common stock, over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value of the Class A common stock. The fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A common stock as reported during the ten-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders.

Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements

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

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 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 Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model for the initial valuation of the Public Warrants. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market.

The Company utilizes a Modified Black-Scholes model to value the Private Placement Warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrant liability is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a binomial options pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The volatility is based on the implied volatility from the Company’s Public Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

The aforementioned warrant liabilities are not subject to qualified hedge accounting.

There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements:

The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in fair value of the beginning and ending balances for the liabilities classified as Level 3:

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities:

Note 11 - Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed financial statements.

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 similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

Recent Developments Terminated Business Combination Agreement

On December 7, 2021, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Merger Sub and Tomorrow.io.

On March 6, 2022, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into the Termination Agreement pursuant to which, due to market conditions, the parties agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement effective as of such date, after taking several factors into consideration. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, Tomorrow.io was obligated to pay us $1,500,000 upon the earliest to occur of (a) 120 days from the date of the Termination Agreement, (b) two business days after the initial closing of Tomorrow.io’s Next Financing and (c) immediately prior to the consummation of a Change of Control. The Termination Payment of $1,500,000 for the reimbursement of business combination expenses was recorded as receivable as of March 31, 2022, and was received in full on July 1, 2022.

As a result of the Termination Agreement, the Merger Agreement is of no further force and effect, and certain agreements entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Parent Support Agreement, dated as of December 7, 2021, by and among the Company, Tomorrow.io and Sponsor, the Voting and Support Agreements, dated as of December 7, 2021, by and among the Company, Merger Sub, Tomorrow.io and certain Tomorrow.io stockholders, and the Subscription Agreements, dated December 7, 2021, by and among Company with its Sponsor and certain other investors, were either terminated or no longer be effective, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms.

We intend to continue to pursue the consummation of a Business Combination with an appropriate target.

The foregoing description of the Termination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Termination Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated by reference herein.

For more information about the Terminated Business Combination Agreement and other recent developments, please see “Note 1. Organization and Business Operation - Initial Business Combination.”

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through September 30, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our IPO and identifying a target company for our initial Business Combination, and activities in connection with the proposed acquisition of Tomorrow.io, which has subsequently been terminated. 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, 2022, we had net income of $1,137,618, which consists of interest income on amounts held in the Trust Account of $1,796,863 and change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $59,333, offset by formation and operating costs of $352,010, interest expense of $291 and provision for income taxes of $366,277.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $23,107,857, which consists of interest income on amounts held in the Trust Account of $2,057,229, reimbursement of business combination expenses of $1,500,000, and change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $20,865,323, offset by formation and operating costs of $940,022, interest expense of $946 and provision for income taxes of $373,727.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of $1,411,521. We incurred $639,593 of formation and operating costs consisting mostly of general and administrative expenses. We had investment income of $25,784 on our amounts held in the Trust Account and change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $2,025,330.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of $6,735,800. We incurred $799,820 of formation and operating costs consisting mostly of general and administrative expenses. We had investment income of $55,688 on our amounts held in the Trust Account and change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $8,680,011 offset by offering expenses related to warrant issuance of $844,080 and excess fair value over cash received for private placement warrants of $355,999

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On March 15, 2021, we consummated the IPO of 34,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $345,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of approximately $8,900,000.

Following the IPO, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $345,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $19,478,776 in transaction costs, including $6,900,000 of underwriting fees, $12,075,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $503,776 of other costs.

As of September 30, 2022, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $346,769,996 (including $1,769,996 of interest income) consisting of U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through September 30, 2022, we withdrew $363,050 of interest income from the Trust Account to pay our tax obligations.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash provided by operating activities was $461,544. Net income of $23,107,857 was affected by interest income on amounts held in the Trust Account of $2,057,229, interest expense of $946 and change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $20,865,323. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $275,293 of cash for operating activities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $968,248. Net income of $6,735,800 was affected by interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $55,688, a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $8,680,011, excess of fair value over cash received for Private Placement Warrants of $355,999 and offering costs allocated to warrants of $844,080. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $168,428 of cash for operating activities.

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 initial 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.

On March 6, 2022 we entered into a Termination Agreement and Plan of Merger with Tomorrow.io and pursuant to the Termination Agreement, Tomorrow.io was obligated to pay us $1,500,000 upon the earliest to occur of (a) 120 days from the Termination Agreement, (b) two business days after the initial closing of Tomorrow,io’s Next Financing (as defined in the Termination Agreement) and (c) immediately prior to the consummation of Change of Control (as defined in the Termination Agreement). The Termination Payment was received on July 1, 2022. Until consummation of a Business Combination, we will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account and any additional Working Capital Loans from the Company’s Sponsor, an affiliate of the Company’s Sponsor or certain of the Company’s directors and officers, for identifying and evaluating target businesses, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structuring, negotiating and completing a Business Combination.

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash of $1,137,976. 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 or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, the Company will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date that these financial statements are issued.

On December 6, 2021, we issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $350,000 to our Sponsor. Such promissory note bears interest at 0.33% per annum and is repayable in full at the earlier of (i) March 15, 2023, or (ii) the date on which we consummate an initial Business Combination as contemplated by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. If we do not consummate a Business Combination, we may use a portion of any funds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Note; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such repayment. As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding balance under the Note amounted to an aggregate of $350,946, which includes $946 of accrued interest.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB’s”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until March 15, 2023, to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date and an extension has not been requested by the Sponsor and approved by the Company’s shareholders, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. We have determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and an extension not requested by the Sponsor, and potential subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after March 15, 2023. The Company intends to continue to search for and seek to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of the time of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any 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 March 11, 2021, and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

The underwriters of the IPO are entitled to a deferred fee of $12,075,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be waived by the underwriters in the event that we do not complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

On December 6, 2021, we issued the Note in the principal amount of $350,000 to our Sponsor. Such promissory note bears interest at 0.33% per annum and is repayable in full at the earlier of (i) March 15, 2023, or (ii) the date on which we consummate an initial Business Combination as contemplated by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding balance under the Note amounted to an aggregate of $350,946, which includes $946 of accrued interest.

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:

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 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 Class A Common Stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, 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 sheet.

Net Income per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding common stock subject to forfeiture. At September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income per share is the same as basic income per share for the period presented.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.

We account for our 17,433,333 warrants (comprising 11,500,000 public included as part of our units sold in our IPO (the “Public Warrants”) and 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants sold to our Sponsor in a private placement which took place concurrently with our IPO as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of Public Warrants issued by the Company in connection with its IPO was initially measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model, and then subsequently measured at the public trading price. The fair value of Private Placement Warrants has been estimated using a Modified Black-Scholes model at each measurement date.

Recent Accounting Standards

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of September 30, 2022, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our IPO, the net proceeds of our IPO, including amounts in the Trust Account, have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, and that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2022, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to our accounting for complex financial instruments and significant and unusual transactions. In light of these material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our condensed financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have commenced our remediation efforts in connection with the identification of the material weaknesses discussed above. Specifically, we enhanced the supervisory review of accounting procedures in this financial reporting area and expanded and improved our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. As of September 30, 2022, the material weaknesses discussed above had not been fully remediated. Accordingly, we continue to test our controls implemented to assess whether our controls are operating effectively.

Our certifying officers performed additional accounting and financial analyses and other post-closing procedures including consulting with subject matter experts related to the accounting for the Public Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and Class A Common Stock. Our management has expended, and will continue to expend, a substantial amount of effort and resources for the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to properly identify and evaluate the appropriate accounting technical pronouncements and other literature for all significant or unusual transactions, we have expanded and will continue to improve these processes to ensure that the nuances of such transactions are effectively evaluated in the context of the increasingly complex accounting standards.

Other than the changes discussed above, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Except as set forth below, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on March 11, 2022 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022. Any of these factors 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.

The Excise Tax included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 may decrease the value of our securities, hinder our ability to consummate an initial business combination, and decrease the amount of funds available for distribution in connection with a liquidation.

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Inflation Reduction Act”), which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchased by a domestic corporation beginning in 2023, with certain exceptions (the “Excise Tax”). Because we are a Delaware corporation and our securities trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market, we are a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the Inflation Reduction Act. While not free from doubt, it is possible that the Excise Tax will apply to any redemptions of our common stock after December 31, 2022, including redemptions in connection with an initial business combination and any amendment to our certificate of incorporation to extend the time to consummate an initial business combination, unless an exemption is available. Issuances of securities in connection with an initial business combination transaction (including any PIPE transaction at the time of an initial business combination) are expected to reduce the amount of the Excise Tax in connection with redemptions occurring in the same taxable year (generally by the value of the securities issued), but the value of the securities redeemed may exceed the value of the securities issued. 

Consequently, the value of your investment in our securities may decrease as a result of the Excise Tax. In addition, the Excise Tax may make a transaction with us less appealing to potential business combination targets, and thus potentially hinder our ability to enter into and consummate an initial business combination, particularly an initial business combination in which substantial PIPE issuances are not contemplated. Further, the application of the Excise Tax in the event of a liquidation is uncertain absent further guidance.
