NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Corporate History and Nature of Operations

 

Petra Acquisition, Inc. (the “Company” or “Petra”) was incorporated in Delaware on November 20, 2019. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from November 20, 2019 (Inception) through September 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), and search for an acquisition target, which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering became effective on October 7, 2020. On October 13, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 7,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $70,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 3,150,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Petra Investment Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), for gross proceeds of $3,150,000. The funds for the Private Placement Warrants had been placed in our Trust account in anticipation of the exercise prior to September 30, 2020.

 

Transaction costs amounted to $4,682,736, consisting of $4,366,980 of underwriting discounts ($2,911,260 of which payment is deferred) and $315,846 of professional fees, printing, filing, regulatory and other costs which have been charged to additional paid in capital upon completion of the Initial Public Offering.

 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on October 13, 2020, an amount of $70,700,000 ($10.00 per Unit, plus $700,000 trust deposit premium) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) which are to be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account, as described below.

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete a Business Combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into an initial Business Combination. 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 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.10 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations and up to $250,000 per 12-month period for working capital requirements). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

 

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or 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. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (See Notes 5 and 7), and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination and not to convert any shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a Business Combination or sell any shares to the Company in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or don’t vote at all.

 

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (b) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination, and (c) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect a public stockholder’s ability to convert or sell their shares to the Company in connection with a Business Combination or affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

 

The Company will have until 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”), which was extended as disclosed in Note 9. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 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 the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $10.10 per Public Share, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a valid and enforceable agreement with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Insiders 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 Insiders will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, 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

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and satisfying liabilities in the normal course of business. At September 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $6,604,000 and working capital deficiency of approximately $3,698,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had a loss from operations of approximately $2,155,000 and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $500,000.

 

Based on the funds received from the Initial Public Offering and funds available under borrowing arrangements management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to successfully complete the Business Combination. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying operational expenses, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial information as of September 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. These unaudited financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on June 16, 2021.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

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

 

7

 

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any sch election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statement with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Marketable Securities Held in Trust and Operating Account

 

At September 30, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in U.S. Treasury Bills. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company withdrew no interest income or withdrawals from the Trust Account.

 

At September 30, 2021, the marketable securities held in the Company’s operating account were investments that substantially hold bonds and fixed income securities.

 

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

 

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

Offering Costs

 

Offering costs consist of underwriting discounts, professional fees, printing, filing, regulatory and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. The deferred offering costs were offset against the IPO and overallotment upon completion of the IPO and overallotment transaction during the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Warrant Liability

 

The Company accounts for the Private Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 under which the Private Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Private Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Private Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the Private Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Private Warrants was initially and subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period, using a Monte Carlo simulation (See Note 8).

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company utilizes ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s net deferred tax asset has been fully reserved.

 

For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations when a determination is made that such expense is likely.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from EPS as the redemption value approximates fair value.

 

At September 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase of up to 10,511,597 shares of common stock. The weighted average of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share of common stock since the exercise of the Warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net loss per share of common stock is the same as basic net loss per share of common stock for the period.

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

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

 

NOTE 3 –PUBLIC OFFERING

 

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering on October 13, 2020, the Company sold 7,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per Unit for a total of $70,000,000. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and one warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).

 

On October 14, 2020, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in part, and the closing of the issuance and sale of an additional 278,151 Units occurred (the “Over-Allotment Option Units”) on October 16, 2020 at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $2,781,510.

Note 5 – Related Party Transactions

 

Sponsor Shares

 

On January 21, 2020, the Company’s sponsor, Petra Investment Holdings, LLC, (the “Sponsor”) purchased 3,593,750 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate price of $25,000. The $25,000 was paid through relief of the related party note disclosed below. Of the original Founder Shares, 1,774,212 were forfeited. As of September 30, 2021, no additional Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture.

 

10

 

 

Private Warrants

 

Concurrent with the Initial Public Offering, our sponsor purchased 3,150,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00, see Note 1. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 83,446 Private Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating total proceeds of $83,446.

 

The fair value of the Private Warrants at December 31, 2020 was a liability of $3,399,878. At September 30, 2021, the fair value was $2,143,416. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the gain on the change in fair value was $85,040 and $1,256,462, respectively, and is reflected in change in fair value of warrant liability on the condensed statements of operations.

 

Related Party Loans

 

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, certain of the Company’s officers and directors or 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. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. There have been no Working Capital Loans to date.

 

Pine Valley Investments LLC

 

On September 17, 2021, the Company entered into a senior promissory with Pine Valley Investments LLC, a New Jersey Limited Liability Company (“Pine Valley”), an affiliate of the Company’s sponsor, LifeSci Capital LLC, with a principal amount of $850,000. Interest was to accrue at 2% per month on all outstanding principal. The Company was able to drawdown requests on the note in amounts no less than $50,000 unless agreed upon by the parties. The outstanding principal and any accrued interest was due upon the Company’s consummation of a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combinations. On October 13, 2021, the Company and Pine Valley entered into a Note Cancellation Agreement (See Note 9). No amounts were drawn against the note at September 30, 2021.

 

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of the Founder Shares, private warrants, and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and all underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which the Founder Shares are to be released from escrow.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the prospectus filed on October 13, 2020 to purchase up to 1,050,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

 

The underwriters are entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $ 1,400,000 in the aggregate (or $1,610,000 in the aggregate if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), payable upon the closing of the Proposed Public Offering, and deferred compensation of $0.40 per unit, or $2,800,000 upon completion of a business combination or $3,220,000 in the aggregate if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full.

 

11

 

 

See Note 3 for partial exercise of over-allotment subsequent to the Initial Public Offering. The remaining portion of the over-allotments units expired.

 

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

 

The Company has engaged LifeSci Capital LLC as an advisor in connection with a Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its shareholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing the Company’s securities in connection with a Business Combination, assist the Company in obtaining shareholder approval for the Business Combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay LifeSci Capital LLC a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of a Business Combination in an amount equal to 4.0% of the gross proceeds of Initial Public Offering, exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable.

 

Agreement and Plan of Merger

 

On August 29, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Petra Acquisition Merger Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Revelation Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RevBio”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Revbio becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, at the Closing the Company will issue 10,500,000 shares of its common stock to RevBio as consideration for 100% of RevBio’s outstanding equity interests. Immediately following the Closing, the Company will have 12,319,538 (excluding 7,278,151 shares subject to redemption) shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The pre-merger shareholders of the Company will retain an aggregate of 1,819,538 shares of common stock of the Company, representing 14% ownership of the post-Merger Company. Therefore, upon consummation of the Merger, there will be a change in control of the Company, with the former owners of RevBio effectively acquiring control of the Company. The Merger will be treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial and reporting purposes since the Company will be deemed to be a shell corporation with nominal operations and assets at the time of the Merger. RevBio will be considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and the Company’s historical financial statements before the Merger will be replaced with the historical financial statements of RevBio before the Merger in future filings.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, at the Closing, the Company shall file a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”). The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger or at such later time as is agreed to by the parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger. As of September 30, 2021, the Company did not file the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

 

Note 7 – Stockholders’ Equity

 

Common Stock

 

The authorized common stock of the Company is up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock. If the Company enters into an Initial Business Combination, it may (depending on the terms of such an Initial Business Combination) be required to increase the number of shares of common stock which the Company is authorized to issue at the same time as the Company’s stockholders vote on the Initial Business Combination to the extent the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with the Initial Business Combination. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock. At September 30, 2021, there were 9,097,689 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, of which 7,278,151 shares were subject to possible redemption and are classified outside of permanent equity at the balance sheet. In connection with issuance of shares of common stock, the Company issued 7,278,151 Public Warrants.

 

12

 

 

 

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At September 30, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

 

Warrants

 

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. No warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the public warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a) (9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants as follows:

 

  in whole and not in part;

 

  at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 

  upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;

 

 

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

 

 

if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants.

 

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

 

The Private Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis at the holder’s option, and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

 

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. 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.

 

13

 

 

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of an initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.50 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to our sponsor, initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any founders’ shares held by them prior to such issuance), (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 an initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummated an initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.50 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the price at which the Company issues the additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities.

 

Note 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

  

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

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

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

 

Description  September 30, 2021   Quoted Prices in Active Markets
(Level 1)
   Significant Other Observable
Inputs
(Level 2)
   Significant Other Unobservable Inputs
(Level 3)
 
Assets:                
Marketable securities held in Trust Account  $73,516,414   $73,516,414   $
               -

Marketable securities held outside of Trust Account  $19,749   $19,749   $

Liabilities:                    
Warrant Liability—Private Placement Warrants  $2,143,416   $
-
   $
-
   $2,143,416 

 

14

 

  

The fair value of the Private Warrants have been using a Monte Carlo simulation since the initial measurement date. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized a gain in the statement of operations resulting from a decrease of $85,040 and $1,256,462 in the fair value of warrant liabilities, respectively, presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liability.

 

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants prior to being separately listed and traded, is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of select peer companies’ common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The expected life of the Warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their estimated remaining life.

 

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Promissory Note Cancellation

 

On October 13, 2021, the Company and Pine Valley entered into a Note Cancellation Agreement whereas the note and all obligations outstanding in connection with the note were cancelled. At the time of the Note Cancellation Agreement there was no outstanding principal or accrued interest.

 

Entry into Promissory Notes

 

Simultaneous with the Note Cancellation, on October 13, 2021, the Company issued three senior promissory notes in an aggregate amount of up to $750,000, which may be drawn down upon requests in amounts no less than $50,000 unless agreed upon by the parties. The notes accrue interest at the rate of 2% per month on the outstanding loan amount and such amounts will be repayable by Company upon consummation of an initial business combination.

 

Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation

 

On October 8, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved to amend the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, pursuant to which, the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination was extended from October 13, 2021 to November 13, 2021. In addition, the amendment provides the Company options to further extend such date to December 13, 2021 and January 13, 2021.

Overview

 

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 20, 2019 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization or reorganization (each a “Business Combination”) with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to complete our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds from our Initial Public Offering, the exercise of over-allotment option and the sale of the private warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

 

Our entire activity since inception relates to our formation, to prepare for our Initial Public Offering, which was consummated on October 13, 2020 and identifying a company for a Business Combination.

 

The issuance of additional shares in connection with an initial Business Combination:

 

  may significantly reduce the equity interest of our stockholders;

 

  may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if we issue preferred shares with rights senior to those afforded to our shares of common stock;

 

  will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and most likely will also result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and

 

  may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities.

 

Similarly, if we issue debt securities, it could result in:

 

  default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a Business Combination are insufficient to pay our debt obligations;

 

  acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made all principal and interest payments when due if the debt security contains covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and we breach any such covenant without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

 

  our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand; and

 

  our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security is outstanding.

 

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.

 

Recent Developments

 

On August 29, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Petra Acquisition Merger Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Revelation Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RevBio”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Revbio becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. See Note 6 to Item 1 above for a description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our only activities from November 20, 2019 (inception) through September 30, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to consummate the Initial Public Offering, described below, searching for a target company for a business combination, and the proposed acquisition of RevBio. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the Initial Public Offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $757,638 which consisted primarily of general and administrative expenses of $844,531 and change in fair value of warrant liability of $85,040. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $868, which consisted solely of general and administrative expenses.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $910,588 which consisted primarily of general and administrative expenses of $2,155,418 and change in fair value of warrant liability of $1,256,462. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $8,549, which consisted solely of general and administrative expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs were satisfied by notes payable and advances from our Sponsor.

 

On October 13, 2020, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 7,000,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $70,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 3,150,000 Private Warrants to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $3,150,000.

 

On October 16, 2020, in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, we consummated the sale of an additional 278,151 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $2,781,151. In addition, we also consummated the sale of an additional 83,446 Private Warrants to our Sponsor at $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $83,446.

 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the additional Private Warrants, an aggregate amount of $73,509,325 has been placed in the Company’s trust account established in connection with the IPO.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $499,916, which represented $910,588 in net loss, $17,356 in unrealized loss on marketable securities, changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,560,341 and $94,936 in prepaid insurance, offset primarily by $1,256,462 in change in fair value of warrant liability and $5,499 in interest earned on cash held in trust,.

 

As of September 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0, marketable securities of $19,749, prepaid expenses of $19,334, and $73,514,561 held in our Trust account from our IPO and the purchase of private warrants, consisting primarily of cash and money market funds with short-term maturities. Interest income on the balance in the trust account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through September 30, 2021, we did not withdraw any interest earned on the trust account.

 

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, to acquire a target business and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination, the remaining funds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our business combination if the funds available to us outside of the trust account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

 

18

 

 

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds on a non-interest basis as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of notes may be convertible into Private Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Warrants.

 

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds subsequent to the Initial Public Offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to our initial business combination. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account.

 

Off-balance sheet financing arrangements

 

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

 

Contractual obligations

 

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than the underwriters are entitled to deferred compensation of $0.40 per unit, or $2,800,000 upon completion of a business combination or $3,220,000 in the aggregate if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

 

 Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies as of September 30, 2021.

  

Common stock subject to possible redemption

 

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

 

19

 

  

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

 

The Company accounts for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 under which the Private Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Private Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Private Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the Private Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Private Warrants was initially and subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period, using a Monte Carlo simulation.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

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

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As of September 30, 2021, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds received into the Trust Account, have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 185 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in US treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

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

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that, solely due to the events that led to the Company’s restatement of its financial statements to reclassify the Company’s derivative instruments as liabilities (which are described in the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed on June 16, 2021) (the “Restatement”), during the period covered by this report, a material weakness existed and our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter of 2021 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In light of the material weakness identified and the resulting Restatement, we plan to enhance our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

PART II

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company. The Company’s property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed June 16, 2021.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

In January 2020, we issued 3,593,750 Founder Shares for an aggregate price of $25,000 to our Sponsor. The foregoing issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). On August 24, 2020, pursuant to amendment to the terms of the Company’s offering our Sponsor agreed to cancel 1,437,500 shares, resulting in an aggregate amount of 2,156,250 founders shares outstanding. On October 7, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to cancel an aggregate of 143,750 Founder Shares such that the original issuance was reduced to 2,012,500 shares of common stock.

 

On October 13, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 7,000,000 units. On October 16, 2020, we consummated the sale of an additional 278,151 units subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The units sold in the Initial Public Offering, including pursuant to the over-allotment option, were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $72,781,510. LifeSci Capital LLC and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., acted as joint book-running managers and Northland Securities, Inc., and Ingalls & Snyder LLC acted as co-managers of the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statements on Forms S-1 (Nos. 333-240175). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on October 7, 2020.

 

Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 3,150,000 private warrants (“Private Warrants”) to our Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating total proceeds of $3,150,000. Simultaneous with the consummation of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, we consummated the private placement of an additional 83,446 Private Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating total proceeds of $83,446. These issuances were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

The Private Warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the private warrants: (i) will not be redeemable by us and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, as described in this prospectus, in each case so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees. If the private warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees, the private warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in this offering. Furthermore, our initial stockholders have agreed to vote the their founders shares in favor of any proposed business combination, as applicable (B) not to convert any founders shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination or sell any shares to us in a tender offer in connection with a proposed initial business combination and (C) that the founders shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution from our trust account upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated.

 

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and private placement of Private Warrants, $73,509,325 has been placed in a trust account.

 

Transaction costs amounted to $4,682,736, consisting of $4,366,890 of underwriting fees ($2,911,260 of which payment is deferred) and $315,846 of professional fees, printing, filing, regulatory and other costs which have been charged to additional paid in capital upon completion of the Initial Public Offering.

 

For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
