NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Description of Organization, Business Operations and Going Concern

Quadro Acquisition One Corp. (the “Company”, formerly known as Kismet Acquisition Two Corp.) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 15, 2020. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation, contractual control arrangement with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, or engaging in any other similar initial business combination with one or more businesses or entities that the Company has not yet identified (“Business Combination”).

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from September 15, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2023, relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”), which is described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a potential target. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in Trust Account (as defined below) from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below).

The Company’s sponsor was Kismet Sponsor Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (the “Prior Sponsor”). The Registration Statement for the Initial Public Offering on Form S-1 initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 26, 2021, as amended (File No. 333- 252419), was declared effective on February 17, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”). On February 22, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A Ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), including 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $13.1 million, of which approximately $8.1 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 6).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 4,400,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Prior Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $6.6 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $7,000 (see Note 4).

On June 15, 2022, the Prior Sponsor transferred 6,250,000 Class B ordinary shares and 4,400,000 Private Placement Warrants held by the Prior Sponsor to Quadro Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Prior Sponsor (the “New Sponsor” or “Sponsor”). On June 30, 2022, the Prior Sponsor transferred all the membership interests of the New Sponsor to Quadro IH DMCC (“Quadro”), a company registered in Dubai Multi Commodities Centre in the United Arab Emirates (the “Sponsor Transaction”). In connection with the Sponsor Transaction, the Prior Sponsor also assigned to the New Sponsor all of its rights and obligations under the (i) Letter Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2021, (ii) Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in Note 5) and (iii) Promissory Note (as defined below). In addition, the Company and Kismet Capital Group LLC (“Kismet LLC”) mutually terminated the Administrative Services Agreement, dated February 17, 2021 (the “Administrative Services Agreement”). As a result, the Company is no longer obligated to pay a $10,000 monthly fee to Kismet LLC pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $230.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) acting as trustee and invested in U.S. government treasury obligations 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 (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its 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. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable, if any, on the income accrued on the Trust Account) at the time the Company signs a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, 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 sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

QUADRO ACQUISITION ONE CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company will provide its holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) 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 shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially at $10.00 per 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). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (see Note 6). These Public Shares were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). 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 a majority of the shares are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association which were adopted by the Company upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, a shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal 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. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the holder of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Shareholder”) agreed to vote its Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Shareholder agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder 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 20% or more of the Class A Ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s Sponsor, executive officers, directors and director nominees agreed not to propose an amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of Association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of its Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

The Company initially had until February 22, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to complete the initial Business Combination. On February 20, 2023, the Company held the 2023 Extraordinary General Meeting at which the shareholders of the Company approved to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial Business Combination to April 22, 2023 and to allow the Company’s board, without another shareholder vote, to extend Combination Date on a monthly basis up to seven times for an additional one month each time until November 22, 2023, or a total of up to nine months after the Original Termination Date (the “Extension”).

In connection with the Extension, the Sponsor or its designees contributed to the Company as a loan the initial contribution of $120,000 (the “Initial Extension Loan”) in February 2023 for the portion of the extension ending on April 22, 2023. The Sponsor will also loan the company extension contributions of $60,000 per month for each subsequent calendar month (commencing on April 22, 2023 and on the 22nd day of each subsequent month) until November 22, 2023, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial Business Combination, which amount will be deposited into the Trust Account (together with the Initial Extension Loan, the “Extension Loans”). On each of May 11, 2023 and June 6, 2023, the Company deposited an additional $60,000, for an aggregate of $120,000 into the Trust Account to extend the date by which it has to consummate an initial Business Combination to June 22, 2023. On each of June 30, 2023 and July 11, 2023, the Company deposited an additional $30,000, for an aggregate of $60,000 into the Trust Account to extend the date by which it has to consummate an initial Business Combination to July 22, 2023. On August 7, 2023, the Company deposited an additional $60,000 into the Trust Account to extend the date by which it has to consummate an initial business combination to August 22, 2023.

In connection with the Extension, shareholders holding 20,451,847 Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem those shares for cash at an approximate price of $10.20 per share for an aggregate of approximately $208.5 million.

On January 31, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,250,000 Class A ordinary shares to the Sponsor, upon the conversion of an equal number of Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor (the “Conversion”). The 6,250,000 Class A ordinary shares issued in connection with the Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B ordinary shares before the Conversion, including, among others, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial Business Combination as described in the prospectus for the Company’s initial public offering. Following the Conversion, there are 29,250,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding and no Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. As a result of the Conversion, the Sponsor held 21.4% of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares.

QUADRO ACQUISITION ONE CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On February 10, 2023, the Company instructed Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at Morgan Stanley, with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by August 22, 2023 (or November 22, 2023 if the Company fully extends the time to complete a Business Combination, the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem all Public Shares then outstanding at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, less any interest released to the Company for the payment of taxes, if any (and less up to $100,000 in interest reserved for expenses in connection with the Company’s dissolution), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

In connection with the redemption of 100% of the Company’s outstanding Public Shares for a portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses).

The Initial Shareholder agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholder should acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, it will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the 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 residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed that it will 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 entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other 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, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to 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 Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 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 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, 2023, the Company had $0 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of approximately $1.4 million.

The Company’s liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from the Prior Sponsor to cover certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, a loan of approximately $111,000 from the Prior Sponsor pursuant to the IPO Note (as defined in Note 5), and a portion of the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company repaid the IPO Note in full on February 24, 2021. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5). As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

On April 13, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of up to $200,000 to the Prior Sponsor (the “Promissory Note”). On May 25, 2022, the Company and the Prior Sponsor amended the Promissory Note agreement and increased the principal amount to $400,000. The Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable within one year from the date of the first drawdown of the amended and restated note, or June 7, 2023. On June 30, 2022, the Prior Sponsor assigned all of its rights and obligations under the Promissory Note to the New Sponsor in connection with the Sponsor Transaction. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has fully drawn $400,000 under the Promissory Note. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately $400,000 and $319,000 were outstanding under the Promissory Note, respectively.

The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, its officers or directors or their affiliates. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor, or their affiliates, 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, reducing overhead expenses, and extending the terms and due dates of certain accrued expenses and other liabilities. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern” (“ASC 205-40”), management has determined that the liquidity condition, mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management continues to seek to complete a Business Combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after November 22, 2023. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements under GAAP and the rules of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2023 or any future period.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as filed by the Company with the SEC on April 18, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”).

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 shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth 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 an 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 accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with 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 unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. 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 accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, regularly exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Cash and Investments Held in the Trust Account

The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held to maturity in accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

At June 30, 2023, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash. At December 31, 2022, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which invest primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. The money market funds are presented at fair value within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and fair value of the investments in the Trust Account is equal to the amortized cost basis of the money market funds.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets.

QUADRO ACQUISITION ONE CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 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 consist of:

●

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

●

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

●

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

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

Derivative 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 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 warrants issued in connection with its Initial Public Offering and Private Placement and units that may be issued in connection with a forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Units”) as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value of derivative liabilities is recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed statements of operations. The fair value of warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering was initially measured using Monte-Carlo simulation and has subsequently been measured on the market price of such warrants at each measurement date when separately listed and traded. The fair value of warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement was initially measured using Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and subsequently using the market value of the public warrants. The fair value of the Forward Purchase Units has been measured using the John C Hull’s Options, Futures and Other Derivatives model at each measurement date.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs 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 liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the statements of operations in the period that the costs occurred. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares 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, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 2,548,153 and 23,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the accompanying condensed balance sheets, respectively.

QUADRO ACQUISITION ONE CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirement of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Share-based compensation to employees and non-employees is recognized over the requisite service period based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. Share-based awards with graded-vesting schedules are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. The Company recognizes the expense for share-based compensation awards subject to performance-based milestone vesting over the remaining service period when management determines that achievement of the milestone is probable. Management evaluates when the achievement of a performance-based milestone is probable based on the expected satisfaction of the performance conditions at each reporting date. Share-based compensation will be recognized in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations. The Company issued option awards that contain both a performance condition and service condition. The option awards vest upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination and will expire in five years after the date on which they first become exercisable. The Company has determined that the consummation of an initial Business Combination is a performance condition subject to significant uncertainty. As such, the achievement of the performance is not deemed to be probable of achievement until the consummation of the event, and therefore no compensation has been recognized for the period from inception to June 30, 2023.

Income Taxes

FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” 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’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman federal income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net (Loss) Income per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net (loss) income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,066,667 Class A ordinary shares since their exercise is contingent upon future events. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per share is the same as basic net (loss) income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Note 3 - Initial Public Offering

On February 22, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, including 3,000,000 Over-Allotment Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $13.1 million, of which approximately $8.1 million was for deferred underwriting commissions.

Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

Note 4 - Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 4,400,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Prior Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $6.6 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $7,000. On June 15, 2022, the Prior Sponsor transferred 4,400,000 Private Placement Warrants to the New Sponsor.

Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Prior Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

The Sponsor agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Note 5 - Related Party Transactions

Forward Purchase Agreement

In connection with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with the Prior Sponsor, which provides for the purchase of $20.0 million Forward Purchase Units, which at the option of the Prior Sponsor, can be increased to $50.0 million, with each Forward Purchase Unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share (the “Forward Purchase Shares”) and one-third of one warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share (the “Forward Purchase Warrants,” together with the Forward Purchase Units and the Forward Purchase Shares, the “Forward Purchase Securities”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per Forward Purchase Unit, in a private placement to occur concurrently with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The purchase under the Forward Purchase Agreement is required to be made regardless of whether any Class A ordinary shares are redeemed by the Public Shareholders. The Forward Purchase Securities will be issued only in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of Forward Purchase Securities may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination, expenses in connection with the initial Business Combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company. The Company does not intend to implement the forward purchase agreement, and on April 17, 2023, the Company sent a notice of mutual termination of the forward purchase agreement to the prior sponsor. The Company classified the Forward Purchase Units as derivative instruments on the accompanying condensed balance sheets. The initial value of the Forward Purchase Units was insignificant, and the Company recognized a loss in the change in the fair value of the derivative assets (liabilities) of approximately $0 and $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and approximately $19,000 and $49,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Founder Shares

On September 21, 2020, the Company issued 4,812,500 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Founder Shares”) to the Prior Sponsor. On September 23, 2020, the Prior Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of the Founder Shares. On January 25, 2021, the Company effected a stock dividend of 1,437,500 shares with respect to Class B ordinary shares, resulting in an aggregate of 6,250,000 Founder Shares outstanding. The Prior Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 750,000 Founder Shares, on a pro rata basis, to the extent that the option to purchase additional Units was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering plus the 2,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares underlying the Forward Purchase Units (which at the option of the Prior Sponsor can be increased to up to 5,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares). On February 22, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option; thus, these 750,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

On June 15, 2022, the Prior Sponsor transferred all 6,250,000 Founder Shares to the New Sponsor.

The New Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, or earlier if, subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (y) the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Related Party Loans

On September 23, 2020, the Prior Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $250,000 to cover costs related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note, which was later amended on January 22, 2021 (the “IPO Note”). The IPO Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As of February 22, 2021, the Company borrowed approximately $111,000 under the IPO Note. The Company repaid the IPO Note in full on February 24, 2021. Subsequent to the repayment, the facility was no longer available to the Company.

QUADRO ACQUISITION ONE CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates 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. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lenders’ discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. 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. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no borrowings under any Working Capital Loans.

On April 13, 2022, the Company issued the Promissory Note to the Prior Sponsor for an aggregate of up to $200,000. On May 25, 2022, the Prior Sponsor amended the Promissory Note agreement and increased the principal amount to $400,000. The Promissory Note bears no interest, may be prepaid at any time and is due and payable within one year from the date of the first drawdown of the amended and restated note, or June 7, 2023. On June 30, 2022, the Prior Sponsor assigned all of its rights and obligations under the Promissory Note to the New Sponsor in connection with the Sponsor Transaction. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has fully drawn $400,000 under the Promissory Note. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately $400,000 and $319,000 were outstanding under the Promissory Note, respectively.

Extension Loan

Pursuant to the Extension, as described in Note 1, the Sponsor or its designees contributed to the Company as a loan the initial contribution of $120,000 in February 2023 for the portion of the extension ending on April 22, 2023. The Sponsor will also loan the company extension contributions of $60,000 per month for each subsequent calendar month (commencing on April 22, 2023 and on the 22nd day of each subsequent month) until November 22, 2023, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial Business Combination, which amount will be deposited into the Trust Account. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has drawn $270,000 on the Extension Loan and deposited it into the Trust Account.

Related Party Advance

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Sponsor had paid $164,081 and $188,722, respectively, of expenses on behalf on Company, which are included in advance from related parties in the accompanying condensed balance sheets as of June 30, 2023.

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on February 17, 2021, through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation, the Company agreed to pay Kismet LLC, an affiliate of the Prior Sponsor, $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services.

On June 30, 2022, in connection with the Sponsor Transaction, the Company and Kismet LLC mutually terminated the Administrative Services Agreement. As a result, the Company is no longer obligated to pay a $10,000 monthly fee pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement.

Director Compensation

Commencing on February 18, 2021, the Company paid its initial directors $40,000 each. On May 25, 2022, Mr. Verdi Israelyan, a former director, waived his right to receive a payment of $40,000. The Company also granted two of its independent directors, Messrs. Tompsett and Zilber, an option each to purchase 40,000 Class A ordinary shares at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, which will vest upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the date on which it first became exercisable Further, following the approval of the Extension, the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors has approved the transfers by the Sponsor of (a) 15,000 Founder Shares to each of Messrs. Zilber and Tourevski and (b) 20,000 Founder Shares to Mr. Tompsett as additional compensation, which transfers will take place prior to the closing of the initial Business Combination. Both the Founder Shares and the options granted to the directors are subject to forfeiture in the event a director ceases to serve on the Company’s board prior to the closing of a Business Combination. In addition, the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee reviews, on a quarterly basis, all payments that are made to the Sponsor, officers or directors, or the Company’s or their affiliates.

On May 25, 2022, one of the Company’s former directors waived his right to receive a payment of $40,000 and the Company recorded approximately $0 of director compensation during three and six months ended June 30, 2023 , and approximately $(12,000) and $3,000 of director compensation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no amounts outstanding in relation to the director compensation.

Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated February 17, 2021 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The holders 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 initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. On June 30, 2022, in connection with the Sponsor Transaction, the Prior Sponsor assigned to the New Sponsor all of its rights and obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

Pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts (i) to file within 30 days after the closing of the initial Business Combination a registration statement with the SEC for a secondary offering of the Forward Purchase Shares and the Forward Purchase Warrants (and underlying Class A Ordinary Shares), (ii) to cause such registration statement to be declared effective promptly thereafter but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the initial filing, and (iii) to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earliest of (A) the date on the Prior Sponsor or its assignees cease to hold the securities covered thereby and (B) the date all of the securities covered thereby can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, the Forward Purchase Agreement provides for “piggy-back” registration rights to the holders of Forward Purchase Securities to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from February 17, 2021, to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 22, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4.6 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per Unit, or approximately $8.1 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

On August 11, 2022 and September 6, 2022, two of the underwriters in the initial public offering irrevocably waived their rights to receive an aggregate of approximately $5.2 million of deferred underwriting discounts due under the underwriting agreements consummated in connection with the initial public offering. The Company recognized the portion allocated to Public Shares of approximately $5.0 million as an adjustment to the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption and the remaining balance of approximately $0.2 million as a gain from extinguishment of deferred underwriting commissions allocated to derivative warrant liabilities.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In February 2022, a military conflict started between Russia and Ukraine. The ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine has provoked strong reactions from the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and various other countries around the world, including the imposition of broad financial and economic sanctions against Russia. Further, the precise effects of the ongoing military conflict and these sanctions on the global economies remain uncertain as of the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.

Note 7 - Warrants

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 7,666,667 Public Warrants and 4,400,000 Private Placement Warrants were outstanding.

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of Class A Ordinary Shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances). The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A Ordinary Shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60^th day after the closing of the initial 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 above, if the Class A Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A Ordinary Shares 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 Class A Ordinary Share (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 an affiliate of the Sponsor, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, 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 completion of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume-weighted average trading price of the Class A Ordinary Shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company completes 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 higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 and $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices described under “Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $18.00” and “Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 100% and 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, respectively.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or sellable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchaser or such purchaser’s permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Initial Shareholder or its 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.

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the outstanding warrants (excluding the Private Placement Warrants), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

●

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

●

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”).

The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A Ordinary Shares is available throughout the 30-trading day redemption period.

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $10.00

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.10 per warrant:

●

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of Class A Ordinary Shares to be determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of Class A Ordinary Shares; and

●

if, and only if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per Public Share (as adjusted), and

●

if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.

The “fair market value” of Class A Ordinary Shares for the above purpose shall mean the volume-weighted average price of the Class A Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. In no event will the warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 Class A Ordinary Shares per warrant (subject to adjustment).

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

	Fair Value Measured as of June 30, 2023
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Liabilities:
Derivative liabilities - Public Warrants	$	—	$	514,433	$	—
Derivative liabilities - Private Placement Warrants	$	—	$	295,240	$	—

	Fair Value Measured as of December 31, 2022

Liabilities:
Derivative liabilities - Public Warrants	$	—	$	19,167	$	—
Derivative liabilities - Private Placement Warrants	$	—	$	11,000	$	—

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized in the beginning of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants was transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement in April 2021, when the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 2 fair value measurement during the year ended December 31, 2021. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred to a Level 2 measurement during the quarter ending December 31, 2022 due to low trading volume. There were no transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Level 1 assets include investments in mutual funds that invest solely in U.S. government securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

The fair value of the Public Warrants was initially measured using a Monte-Carlo simulation and has subsequently been measured based on the market price of such warrants at each measurement date when separately listed and traded. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was initially measured using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and subsequently using the market value of the Public Warrants. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized a decrease/(increase) in the fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of approximately $(538,000) and $845,000, and approximately $(780,000) and $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, presented on the accompanying condensed statements of operations.

The Company utilized John C. Hull’s Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives model to estimate the fair value of the Forward Purchase Units at each measurement date up until September 30, 2023. As the Company does not intend to implement the forward purchase agreement, the Company determined the fair value of the Forward Purchase Units as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was deminimis. There was no change in fair value of the Forward Purchase Units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company recognized expense in the change in fair value of the Forward Purchase Units of approximately $19,000 and $49,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 15, 2020. We were incorporated for the purpose of engaging in an initial business combination with one or more businesses. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

Our sponsor is Quadro Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The registration statement for our initial public offering was declared effective on February 17, 2021. On February 22, 2021, we consummated our initial public offering of 23,000,000 units, including 3,000,000 additional units to cover the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $13.1 million, of which approximately $8.1 million was for deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering, we consummated the private placement of 4,400,000 warrants, at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant, to our prior sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $6.6 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $7,000.

Upon the closing of the initial public offering and the private placement, $230.0 million ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds of the initial public offering and a portion of the proceeds of the private placement were placed in a trust account, with Continental acting as trustee, and invested in U.S. government treasury obligations 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, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) the distribution of the trust account as described below.

On February 10, 2023, we instructed Continental to liquidate the investments held in the trust account and instead to hold the funds in the trust account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at Morgan Stanley, with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the trust account, the remaining proceeds from the initial public offering and private placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a business combination. Our initial business combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable, if any, on the income accrued on the trust account) at the time we sign a definitive agreement in connection with the initial business combination. However, we 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 sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

If we are unable to complete a business combination by the Termination Date, we 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 us to pay our taxes that were paid by us or are payable by us, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Recent Developments

On January 31, 2023, we issued an aggregate of 6,250,000 Class A ordinary shares to the sponsor, upon the conversion of an equal number of Class B ordinary shares held by the sponsor in the Founder Conversion. The 6,250,000 Class A ordinary shares issued in connection with the Founder Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B ordinary shares before the Founder Conversion, including, among others, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for the initial public offering.

On February 20, 2023, we held the 2023 Extraordinary General Meeting at which our shareholders approved an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which we must consummate an initial business combination to April 22, 2023, and to allow our board, without another shareholder vote, to extend the Termination Date on a monthly basis up to seven times for an additional one month each time until November 22, 2023, or a total of up to nine months after the Original Termination Date (the “Extension”). In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment, the holders of 20,451,847 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.20 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $208,524,538, in connection with the Extension Amendment.

In connection with the Extension, our sponsor or its designees contributed to us as a loan the initial contribution of $120,000 (the “Initial Extension Loan”) in February 2023 for the portion of the Extension ending on April 22, 2023. Our sponsor will also loan us extension contributions of $60,000 per month for each subsequent calendar month (commencing on April 22, 2023 and on the 22nd day of each subsequent month) until November 22, 2023, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial business combination, which amount will be deposited into the trust account (together with the Initial Extension Loan, the “Extension Loans”). The amount of the Extension Loans will not bear interest and will be repayable by us to the sponsor or its designees upon consummation of an initial business combination. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the trust account to repay the Extension Loans, but no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay the Extension Loans.

Following the Founder Conversion and the redemptions in connection with the Extension, there were 8,798,153 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding and no Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

At the 2023 Extraordinary General Meeting, our shareholders also approved our company’s name change from Kismet Acquisition Two Corp. to Quadro Acquisition One Corp. to better reflect the Sponsor Transaction.

On March 27, 2023, our board of directors elected Konstantin Tourevski as a director and as a member of the audit committee to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Verdi Israelyan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, we had $0 in our operating bank account and working capital deficit of approximately $1.4 million.

Our liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from the prior sponsor to cover certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the founder shares, a loan of approximately $111,000 from the prior sponsor pursuant to the First Note originally issued on September 23, 2020 and amended on January 22, 2021, and a portion of the proceeds from the consummation of the private placement not held in the trust account. We repaid the First Note in full on February 24, 2021. Subsequent to the repayment, the facility was no longer available to us. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us working capital loans in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any working capital loans.

On April 13, 2022, we issued the Second Note, a promissory note in the amount of up to $200,000 to the prior sponsor. On May 25, 2022, we and the prior sponsor amended and restated the Second Note and increased the principal amount to $400,000. The promissory note bears no interest and is due and payable within one year from the date of the first drawdown of the amended and restated note, or June 7, 2023. On June 30, 2022, the prior sponsor assigned all of its rights and obligations under the promissory note to our sponsor in connection with the Sponsor Transaction. As of June 30, 2023, we have fully drawn $400,000 under the Promissory Note. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately $400,000 and $319,000 were outstanding under the Promissory Note, respectively.

We may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from our sponsor, our officers or directors or their affiliates. Our sponsor, officers, directors and or their affiliates, may, but are not obligated to, loan our company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet our working capital needs. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we 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, reducing overhead expenses, and extending the terms and due dates of certain accrued expenses and other liabilities. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” we have determined that the liquidity condition, mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management continues to seek to complete a business combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate by November 22, 2023.

Contractual Obligations

Administrative Services Agreement

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, except that, commencing on February 17, 2021, through the earlier of consummation of the initial business combination and the liquidation, we agreed to pay Kismet LLC, an affiliate of our prior sponsor, $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to June 30, 2023, was in preparation for our formation and our initial public offering, and since the completion of our initial public offering, the search for business combination candidates. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination at the earliest.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had net loss of approximately $458,000, which consisted of a non-operating loss of approximately $538,000 resulting from the change in fair value of derivative assets and liabilities and approximately $160,000 general and administrative expenses, partially offset by approximately $240,000 of income from investments held in trust account.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of approximately $1.0 million, which consisted of a non-operating gain of approximately $864,000 resulting from the change in fair value of derivative assets and liabilities and approximately $292,000 of net gain on the investments held in the Trust Account, partially offset by approximately $107,000 general and administrative expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had net income of approximately $152,000, which consisted of approximately $1.7 million of income from investments held in trust account, partially offset by a non-operating loss of approximately $780,000 resulting from the change in fair value of derivative assets and liabilities and approximately $750,000 general and administrative expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of approximately $5.1 million, which consisted of a non-operating gain of approximately $5.1 million resulting from the change in fair value of derivative assets and liabilities and approximately $313,000 of net gain on the investments held in the Trust Account, partially offset by approximately $300,000 general and administrative expenses.

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 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated February 17, 2021. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we 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 initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Pursuant to the forward purchase agreement (described below), we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts (i) to file within 30 days after the closing of the initial business combination a registration statement with the SEC for a secondary offering of the forward purchase shares and the forward purchase warrants (and underlying Class A ordinary shares), (ii) to cause such registration statement to be declared effective promptly thereafter but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the initial filing, and (iii) to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earliest of (A) the date on which our sponsor or its assignees cease to hold the securities covered thereby and (B) the date all of the securities covered thereby can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, the forward purchase agreement provides for “piggy-back” registration rights to the holders of forward purchase securities to include their securities in other registration statements filed by us.

Forward Purchase Agreement

In connection with the consummation of our initial public offering, we entered into a forward purchase agreement with our prior sponsor, which provides for the purchase of $20.0 million of forward purchase units, which at the option of our prior sponsor can be increased to $50.0 million, with each forward purchase unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, for a purchase price of $10.00 per forward purchase unit, in a private placement to occur concurrently with the closing of the initial business combination. The purchase under the forward purchase agreement is required to be made regardless of whether any Class A ordinary shares are redeemed by the public shareholders. The forward purchase securities will be issued only in connection with the closing of the initial business combination. The proceeds from the sale of forward purchase securities may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial business combination, expenses in connection with the initial business combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company. We do not intend to implement the forward purchase agreement, and on April 17, 2023, we sent a notice of mutual termination of the forward purchase agreement to the prior sponsor.

Underwriting Agreement

We granted the underwriters a 45-day option from February 17, 2021, to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional units at our initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 22, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or approximately $4.6 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of our initial public offering. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or approximately $8.1 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the trust account solely in the event that we complete an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

On August 11, 2022 and September 6, 2022, two of the underwriters in the initial public offering irrevocably waived their rights to receive an aggregate of approximately $5.2 million of deferred underwriting discounts due under the underwriting agreements consummated in connection with the initial public offering. We recognized the portion allocated to Public Shares of approximately $5.0 million as an adjustment to the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption and the remaining balance of approximately $0.2 million as a gain from extinguishment of deferred underwriting commissions allocated to derivative warrant liabilities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Derivative Assets and 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 Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815-15, “Derivatives and Hedging”. 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.

We account for our public warrants, private placement warrants and forward purchase units as derivative assets/liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, we recognize the warrants and forward purchase units as assets/liabilities at fair value and adjust 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 of derivative assets and liabilities is recognized in our statements of operations. The fair value of our public warrants was initially measured using Monte-Carlo simulation and subsequently been measured on the market price of such warrants when separately listed and traded at each measurement date. The fair value of the private placement warrants was initially measured using Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and subsequently using the market value of the public warrants. The fair value of the forward purchase units has been measured using the John C Hull’s Options, Futures and Other Derivatives model at each measurement date.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares 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 our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 2,548,153 and 23,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the condensed balance sheets under “Item 1. Financial Statements”.

We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Effective with the closing of the initial public offering, we recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Net (Loss) Income per Ordinary Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” We have two classes of shares, Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net (loss) income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering and the private placement to purchase an aggregate of 12,066,667 Class A ordinary shares because their exercise is contingent upon future events. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from (losses) earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Share-Based Compensation

We comply with the accounting and disclosure requirement of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation.” We record share-based compensation to employees and non-employees over the requisite service period based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. Share-based awards with graded-vesting schedules are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. We recognize the expense for share-based compensation awards subject to performance-based milestone vesting over the remaining service period when management determines that achievement of the milestone is probable. Management evaluates when the achievement of a performance-based milestone is probable based on the expected satisfaction of the performance conditions at each reporting date. Share-based compensation will be recognized in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations. We issued option awards that contain both a performance condition and service condition. The option awards vest upon the consummation of the initial business combination and will expire in five years after the date on which they first become exercisable. We have determined that the consummation of an initial business combination is a performance condition subject to significant uncertainty. As such, the achievement of the performance is not deemed to be probable of achievement until the consummation of the event, and therefore no compensation has been recognized for the period from inception to June 30, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.

JOBS Act

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our initial public offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations

Our results of operations and our 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 our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, 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 Ukraine. We 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

As of June 30, 2023, as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, the Company’s management has concluded that our control around the interpretation and accounting for extinguishment of a significant contingent obligation was not effectively designed or maintained. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the unaudited 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.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Management has implemented remediation steps to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we expanded and improved our review process for related accounting standards. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the above, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

To the knowledge of our management team, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. However, as of the date of this Report, other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our (i) Registration Statement, (ii) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022, (iii) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on June 25, 2021, August 13, 2021, November 22, 2021, May 9, 2022, August 15, 2022, and November 14, 2022, respectively, (iv) Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the SEC on January 31, 2023, and (v) our 2022 Annual Report. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we have instructed the trustee, on February 10, 2023, to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account at Morgan Stanley until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, we may receive less interest on the funds held in the Trust Account than the interest we would have received pursuant to our original Trust Account investments, which could reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

The funds in the Trust Account had, since our IPO, 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 have instructed the trustee, on February 10, 2023, 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 an interest bearing demand deposit account at Morgan Stanley until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. Following such liquidation, we may receive less interest on the funds held in the Trust Account than the interest we would have received pursuant to our original trust account investments. 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, our decision to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account at Morgan Stanley could reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

Market conditions, economic uncertainty or downturns could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and our ability to consummate a Business Combination.

In recent years, the United States and other markets have experienced cyclical or episodic downturns, and worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions, the Ukraine-Russia conflict, instability in the U.S. and global banking systems, rising fuel prices, increasing interest rates or foreign exchange rates and high inflation and the possibility of a recession. A significant downturn in economic conditions may make it more difficult for us to consummate a Business Combination.

We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any future economic slowdown or any subsequent recovery generally, or in any industry. If the conditions in the general economy and the markets in which we operate worsen from present levels, our business, financial condition, operating results and our ability to consummate a Business Combination could be adversely affected. For example, in January 2023, the outstanding national debt of the U.S. government reached its statutory limit. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury Department”) has announced that, since then, it has been using extraordinary measures to prevent the U.S. government’s default on its payment obligations, and to extend the time that the U.S. government has to raise its statutory debt limit or otherwise resolve its funding situation. The failure by Congress to raise the federal debt ceiling could have severe repercussions within the U.S. and to global credit and financial markets. If Congress does not raise the debt ceiling, the U.S. government could default on its payment obligations, or experience delays in making payments when due. A payment default or delay by the U.S. government, or continued uncertainty surrounding the U.S. debt ceiling, could result in a variety of adverse effects for financial markets, market participants and U.S. and global economic conditions. In addition, U.S. debt ceiling and budget deficit concerns have increased the possibility a downgrade in the credit rating of the U.S. government and could result in economic slowdowns or a recession in the U.S. Although U.S. lawmakers have passed legislation to raise the federal debt ceiling on multiple occasions, ratings agencies have lowered or threatened to lower the long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States as a result of disputes over the debt ceiling. The impact of a potential downgrade to the U.S. government’s sovereign credit rating or its perceived creditworthiness could adversely affect economic conditions, as well as our business, financial condition, operating results and our ability to consummate a Business Combination.

If our initial Business Combination involves a company organized under the laws of a state of the United States, it is possible a 1% U.S. federal excise tax will be imposed on us in connection with redemptions of our common stock after or in connection with such initial Business Combination.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 became law in the United States, which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of certain repurchases (including certain redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., United States) corporations (and certain non-U.S. corporations treated as “surrogate foreign corporations”). The excise tax will apply to stock repurchases occurring in 2023 and beyond. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares of stock repurchased at the time of the repurchase. The Treasury Department has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of, the excise tax; however, only limited guidance has been issued to date.

As an entity incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company, the 1% excise tax is not expected to apply to redemptions of our Class A ordinary shares (absent any regulations and other additional guidance that may be issued in the future with retroactive effect).

However, in connection with an initial Business Combination involving a company organized under the laws of the United States, it is possible that we domesticate and continue as a Delaware corporation prior to certain redemptions and, because our securities are trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, it is possible that we will be subject to the excise tax with respect to any subsequent redemptions, including redemptions in connection with the initial Business Combination, that are treated as repurchases for this purpose (other than, pursuant to recently issued guidance from the Treasury Department, redemptions in complete liquidation of the company). In all cases, the extent of the excise tax that may be incurred will depend on a number of factors, including the fair market value of our stock redeemed, the extent such redemptions could be treated as dividends and not repurchases, and the content of any regulations and other additional guidance from the Treasury Department that may be issued and applicable to the redemptions. Issuances of stock by a repurchasing corporation in a year in which such corporation repurchases stock may reduce the amount of excise tax imposed with respect to such repurchase. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not the stockholders from which stock is repurchased. The imposition of the excise tax as a result of redemptions in connection with the initial Business Combination could, however, reduce the amount of cash available to pay redemptions or reduce the cash contribution to the target business in connection with our initial Business Combination, which could cause the other shareholders of the combined company to economically bear the impact of such excise tax.

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

None. For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, see Part II, Item 2 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on June 25, 2021. There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement as described in the Registration Statement.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.
