NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

LMF Acquisition Opportunities, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”).

The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period from October 28, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2022 relates to the Company's formation and the initial public offering ("IPO") described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO and unrealized gains or losses from the revaluation of the warrant liability.

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on January 25, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On January 28, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 10,350,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $103,500,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 5,738,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to LMFAO Sponsor LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $5,738,000, which is described in Note 4.

Transaction costs for the IPO amounted to $6,211,902 consisting of $2,070,000 of underwriting discount, $3,622,500 of deferred underwriting fee, the fair value of the shares issued to the underwriters of $1,000 deemed as underwriters’ compensation, and $518,402 of other offering costs. In addition, $974,009 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) as of the date of the IPO and became available for working capital purposes at such time.

Following the closing of the IPO on January  28, 2021, an amount of $105,570,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and 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 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 21 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination, as described in more detail in the prospectus for the IPO), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

Proposed Business Combination

On April 21, 2022, the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with LMF Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and SeaStar Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SeaStar Medical”) pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into SeaStar Medical (the “Merger”), with SeaStar Medical surviving the merger in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the related ancillary agreements, the “Proposed Business Combination”).

The aggregate consideration payable to the stockholders of SeaStar Medical at the closing of the Proposed Business Combination (the “Closing”) is $85,000,000, payable solely in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), valued at $10.00 per share, subject to possible deductions for indebtedness of SeaStar Medical and SeaStar Medical transaction expenses in excess of a capped amount of $800,000 as set forth in the Merger Agreement, plus the aggregate exercise price of (1) SeaStar Medical warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Proposed Business Combination and (2) SeaStar Medical options issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, less the value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Assumed Equity.

7

Immediately prior to the Preferred Conversion, each of SeaStar Medical’s issued and outstanding convertible notes will automatically convert into shares of SeaStar Medical common stock. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of SeaStar Medical’s issued and outstanding preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of SeaStar Medical common stock and those SeaStar Medical warrants that would be automatically exercised or exchanged in connection with the Proposed Business Combination pursuant to the terms thereof will be automatically exercised for shares of SeaStar Medical common stock. At the time of the Proposed Business Combination, the (i) SeaStar Medical warrants that would not automatically be exercised or exchanged in connection with the Proposed Business Combination will be assumed by the Company and converted into warrants to purchase Common Stock, (ii) outstanding options for shares of SeaStar Medical common stock under SeaStar Medical’s equity plan will be assumed by the Company and converted into options to purchase Common Stock, and (iii) outstanding restricted stock unit awards under SeaStar Medical’s equity plan will be assumed by the Company and converted into restricted stock units of the Company.  

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties thereto, including, among other things, covenants with respect to the conduct of the Company and SeaStar Medical during the period between execution of the Merger Agreement and the Closing. The representations, warranties and covenants made under the Merger Agreement will not survive the closing; provided, any covenants that are to be performed at or after the closing shall survive until such covenant has been performed or satisfied. No party to the Merger Agreement will have any liabilities to such other parties, other than claims for willful and material breach or fraud. Each of the Company and SeaStar Medical have agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated as soon as practicable.

The closing of the Proposed Businses Combination is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, that (i) the stockholders of SeaStar Medical and the stockholders of the Company approve the Proposed Business Combination, (ii) the Nasdaq Stock Market approves for listing the common stock to be issued in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, (iii) the Company has, including any proceeds from the Company’s private investment in public equity financing and net of any redemptions and the payment of transaction expenses (and in the case of SeaStar Medical’s transaction expenses, only expenses up to the Cap (as defined in the Merger Agreement), at least $15,000,000 unrestricted cash on hand and (iv) the Company has $5,000,001 or more in net tangible assets at the closing.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated prior to the closing under certain circumstances, including, among others, (i) by written consent of SeaStar Medical and the Company, (ii) by written notice from either the Company or SeaStar Medical, if (A) the closing has not occurred on or before (I) July 29, 2022 or (II) October 29, 2022 if the Extension (as defined below) occurs (the “Outside Date”), unless the terminating party’s failure to comply in any material respect with its obligations under the Merger Agreement shall have proximately contributed to the failure of the closing to have occurred on or prior to the Outside Date, (B) the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination is permanently enjoined or (C) the Company does not obtain stockholder approval of the Proposed Business Combination at its special meeting, (iii) by written notice from either the Company or SeaStar Medical, in the event that the other party breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements under the Merger Agreement that would result in the failure of the conditions to the Company’s or SeaStar Medical’s obligation to consummate the Proposed Business Combination and such breach has not been cured by the breaching party by the earlier of 30 days after receiving notice of such breach and the Outside Date and (iv) by SeaStar Medical at any time prior to the approval of the Proposed Business Combination by the Company’s public stockholders, if the board of directors of the Company has made a change in recommendation to its stockholders regarding the Proposed Business Combination. The Merger Agreement allows the Outside Date to be extended if the Sponsor elects to extend the time period by which the Company must consummate a business combination by depositing $1,035,000 in additional funds in the Company’s trust account on or prior to July 29, 2022 (the “Extension”).

The Company elected to extend the time line. See Footnote 12 – Subsequent Events

During the Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2022 the Company incurred $1.1 million of expenses associated with the Proposed Business Combination. If the Proposed Business Combination is not completed, the costs incurred to date for the proposed transaction will not be recoverable.

Going Concern Consideration

The Company expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial business combination within the prescribed period of time from the closing of the IPO, the requirement that the Company cease all operations, redeem the public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The balance sheet does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management has determined that the Company has funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the consummation of an initial business combination or the winding up of the Company as stipulated in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum of association. The accompanying financial statement has been prepared in

8

conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The interim financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and for the Six Months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to provide a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal the year ended December 31, 2021.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of six months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022.

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2022, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Funds.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A Ordinary Shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument 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 Class A Ordinary Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 10,350,000 and 10,350,000, respectively, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts carrying value of redeemable Ordinary Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of the reporting period. Immediately upon the

9

closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of the redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

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 June 30, 2022, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. In accordance with ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, offering costs attributable to the issuance of the derivative warrant liabilities have been allocated based on their relative fair value of total proceeds and are recognized in the statement of operations as incurred.

The 10,350,000 warrants issued in connection with the IPO (the “Public Warrants”) and the 5,738,000 Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as 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. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued and Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model each measurement date. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified 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.

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") Topic 5A - "Expenses of Offering". Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO and that were charged to stockholders' equity upon the completion of the IPO. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022, offering costs totaling $6,211,902 have been charged to stockholders' equity (consisting of $2,070,000 in underwriters' discount, $3,622,500 in deferred underwriters' fee, the fair value of the shares issued to the underwriters of $1,000 deemed as underwriters’ compensation, and approximately $518,402 of other cash expenses).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

Income Taxes

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

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

10

In assessing realizable deferred tax assets, management assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent that recovery is not likely or there is insufficient operating history, a valuation allowance is established. The Company adjusts the valuation allowance in the period management determines it is more likely than not that net deferred tax assets will or will not be realized. As of June 30, 2022, the Company determined that a valuation allowance should be established.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not recognize any assets or liabilities relative to uncertain tax positions. Interest or penalties, if any, will be recognized in income tax expense. Since there are no significant unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken, there are no accrued penalties or interest. Tax positions are positions taken in a previously filed tax return or positions expected to be taken in a future tax return that are reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities reported in the financial statements.

The Company reflects tax benefits, only if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain the tax return position, based on its technical merits. If a tax benefit meets this criterion, it is measured and recognized based on the largest amount of benefit that is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal, state and city taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal, state and city tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating the net income (loss) per common share. Shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption as of the three month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 have been excluded from the calculation of the basic net income per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. When calculating its diluted net income per share, the Company has not considered the effect of the incremental number of shares of common stock to settle Warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, as calculated using the treasury stock method. The calculation excludes 10,350,000 Public Warrants and 5,738,000 Private Placement Warrants for the Six Month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price during the period (out-of-the-money warrants).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

NOTE 3. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND HELD IN TRUST ACCOUNT

As of June 30, 2022, substantially all of the assets totaling approximately $105,652,000 were held in a treasury money market fund. Management elects to measure the treasury money market fund at fair value in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 825 “Financial Instruments”. Any changes in fair value of the government securities are recognized in net income. Impairment of government securities is recognized in earnings when a decline in value has occurred that is deemed to be other than temporary, and the current fair value becomes the new cost basis for the securities.

NOTE 4. PREPAID EXPENSES

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had prepaid expenses of approximately $189,000 primarily in connection with the prepayment for D&O insurance and professional services.

Note 5.  Initial Public Offering

Pursuant to the IPO on January 28, 2021, the Company sold 10,350,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, and one warrant to purchase one share of Class A common stock. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation (see Note 9).

11

Aggregate of $10.20 per Unit sold in the IPO is being held in the Trust Account and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 21 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination, as described in more detail the prospectus for the IPO), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

Note 6. Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated a private placement with the Company’s Sponsor purchasing an aggregate of 5,738,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,738,000. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the IPO except that the Private Placement Warrants, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or their permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) may not (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) will be entitled to registration rights.

The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in the IPO. In addition, for as long as the Private Placement Warrants are held by the underwriters or their designees or affiliates, they may not be exercised after five years from the Effective Date.

The Company’s Sponsor has agreed to (i) waive its redemption rights with respect to its founder shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (ii) waive its redemption rights with respect to its founder shares and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 21 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination, as described in more detail in the prospectus for the IPO) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii) waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to its founder shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 21 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination. In addition, the Company’s Sponsor has agreed to vote any founder shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

Note 7. Related Party Transactions

Related Party Loans

On November 6, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. This loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of June 30, 2021 or the closing of the IPO. The loan was to be repaid upon the closing of the IPO out of the offering proceeds not held in the Trust Account. On January 27, 2020, the Company had drawn down approximately $151,000 under the promissory note with the Sponsor to pay for offering expenses. On January 28, 2021, the Company repaid the balance of approximately $151,000 to the Sponsor and cancelled the note.

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, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). 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 Company decided to forgo the option to convert the loan into warrants.

On February 1, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor in the original principal amount of $500,000 to evidence a Working Capital Loan, which was subsequently amended and restated on July 28, 2022 (effective as of June 30, 2022), to enable the Company to borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,750,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. The Working Capital Loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the date the company consummates a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. No amount shall be due under the promissory note if an initial business combination is not consummated on or before the 24 month anniversary of the date of the IPO. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had drawn down $910,000 under the promissory note with the Sponsor. On July 28, 2022, the promissory note was amended to increase the principal amount to $1,750,000, effective as of June 30, 2022.

Related Party Extension Loans

Under the terms of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the Company had until 18 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination. However, the certificate of incorporation further provides that if the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate a Business Combination within 18 months, the Company may, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination by an additional six months (for a total of 21 months to complete a Business Combination) if such extension is requested by the Sponsor. Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and the trust agreement entered into between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company on January 25, 2021, in order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees must deposit into the Trust Account $1,035,000 ($0.10 per share in either case) on or prior to the date of the deadline, which was July 29, 2022. Such payment would be made in the form of a loan (an “Extension Loan”). Such loan will be non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amount out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Company will not repay such loan. Furthermore, the letter agreement with the Sponsor contains a provision pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to waive its right to be repaid for such loan out of the funds held in the Trust Account in the event that the Company does not complete a Business Combination. The Sponsor and its affiliates or designees are obligated to fund the Trust Account in order to extend the time for the Company to complete a Business Combination, but the Sponsor is not obligated to extend such time. The Company elected to extend the time to complete a Business Combination.  See Footnote 12 – Subsequent Events.

Founder Shares

On November 6, 2020, the Company issued 2,156,250 shares of Class B common stock to the Sponsor for $25,000 in cash, or approximately $0.012 per share, in connection with formation. In January 2021, the Company effected a stock dividend of 431,250 shares of Class B common stock, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 2,587,500 founder shares.

The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell its founder shares until the earlier of: (i) one year after the date of the consummation of the Business Combination; or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, or other similar transaction that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities, or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing 150 days after the Business Combination, the founder shares will no longer be subject to such transfer restrictions.

Note 8. Commitments Registration Rights

The holders of the founder shares, Private Placement Warrants, shares of Class A common stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants, and warrants (including underlying securities) that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on January 19, 2021. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company registers such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the underwriters may not exercise their demand and “piggyback” registration rights after five and seven years, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO and may not exercise their demand rights on more than one occasion.

Right of First Refusal

Subject to certain conditions, the Company granted Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), for a period beginning on the closing of the IPO and ending 18 months after the date of the consummation of the Business Combination, a right of first refusal to act as lead left book-

13

running managing underwriter with at least 75% of the economics; or, in the case of a three-handed deal 50% of the economics, for any and all future public and private equity, convertible and debt offerings for the Company or any of its successors or subsidiaries. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(6), such right of first refusal shall not have a duration of more than three years from the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO.

Representative’s Common Stock

On January 25, 2021, the Company issued to Maxim and/or its designees, 103,500 shares of Class A common stock. The Company estimated the fair value of the stock to be $1,000 based upon the price of the Founder Shares issued to the Sponsor. The stock were treated as underwriters’ compensation and charged directly to stockholders’ equity.

Maxim has agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any such shares until the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, Maxim has agreed: (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the Business Combination; and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO (or 21 months from the closing, if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination).

The shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the effectiveness of the registration statement for the IPO pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA’s NASD Conduct Rules. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO, except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners.

Risks and Uncertainties

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

NOTE 9. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

Warrants

At June 30, 2022, there are 16,088,000 warrants outstanding. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if: (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by the Company’s Sponsor or its affiliates, 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 Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination (net of redemptions); and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the 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 $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

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

14

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus is current. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified, or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A common stock underlying such unit.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the Private Placement Warrants):

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” If the management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below); by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, or the Company’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger, or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices.

Warrants Classified as Derivative Liabilities

The Company previously accounted for its outstanding Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with its IPO as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities. The warrant agreement governing the warrants includes a provision that provides for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant. In addition, the warrant agreement includes a provision that in the event of a tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of a single class of common shares, all holders of the warrants would be entitled to receive cash for their warrants (the “tender offer provision”).

The Company’s management has evaluated both the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants using ASC Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.  ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s common stock.  Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s common stock if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant.  The Company concluded that the Company’s Private Placement Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common shares in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. In addition, based on management’s evaluation, the Company also concluded the tender offer provision included in the warrant agreement fails the “classified in stockholders’ equity” criteria as contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-25.

As a result of the above, the Company has classified the warrants as derivative liabilities.

The following table presents fair value information as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 of the Company’s warrants. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Public Warrants and a modified Black-Scholes model to value the Private Placement Warrants. The Company’s warrant liability is based on a valuation model utilizing management judgment and pricing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. These pricing inputs include the publicly traded value of the Public Warrants as of June 30, 2022 ($0.1125 per warrant) and December 31, 2021 ($0.43 per warrant). Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value. The fair value of the warrant liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

15

The Company recognized a $1,518,707 and $5,120,840 gain for the Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, upon the revaluation of the warrants and a gain (loss) of ($1,772,980) and $57,680 for the Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, upon the revaluation.  The Company will remeasure these warrants at the end of each reporting period and recognize changes in the fair value from the prior period in the Company’s operating results for the current period.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 

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

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

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

NOTE 11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue a total of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock at par value of $0.0001 each. On June 30, 2022, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue a total of 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at par value of $0.0001 each. On June 30, 2022, there were 103,500 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, excluding 10,350,000 shares of Class A common shares subject to possible redemption.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue a total of 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock at par value of $0.0001 each. In January 2021, the Company effected a stock dividend, resulting in the initial stockholder holding an aggregate of 2,587,500 founder shares of Class B common stock. At June 30, 2022, there were 2,587,500 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of its founder shares until the earlier of: (i) one year after the date of the consummation of the Business Combination; or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock

16

exchange, or other similar transaction that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities, or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Sponsor with respect to any founder shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing 150 days after the Business Combination, the founder shares will no longer be subject to such transfer restrictions. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Sponsor with respect to any founder shares.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at the time of its Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the closing of the Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of this offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock issuable to Maxim) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Business Combination or any private placement-equivalent units issued to the Sponsor, its affiliates, or certain of officers and directors upon conversion of working capital loans made to the Company).

Holders of the Class A common stock and holders of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders, with each share of common stock entitling the holder to one vote.

NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company entered into Amended and Restated Promissory Note, dated July 28, 2022 (effective as of June 30, 2022), with Sponsor relating to the Working Capital Loan, whereunder the amount of the loan availability under the Working Capital Loan was increased from $500,000 to $1,750,000 to fund expenses relating to the Business Combination.

On July 29, 2022, Sponsor funded an Extension Loan in the amount of $1,035,000 and caused such amount to be deposited into the Trust Account in order provide additional time to complete the Business Combination.

Overview

LMF Acquisition Opportunities, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific business-combination target and it has not, nor has anyone on the Company’s behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business-combination target.

The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period from October 28, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2022 relates to the Company's formation and the initial public offering ("IPO") described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO.

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on January 25, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On January 28, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 10,350,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock

18

included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $103,500,000, which offering is further described in Note 5.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 5,738,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to LMFAO Sponsor LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $5,738,000.

Transaction costs for the IPO amounted to $6,211,902 consisting of $2,070,000 of underwriting discount, $3,622,500 of deferred underwriting fee, the fair value of the shares issued to the underwriters of $1,000 deemed as underwriters’ compensation, and $518,402 of other offering costs. In addition, $974,009 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) as of the date of the IPO and became available for working capital purposes at such time.

Following the closing of the IPO on January  28, 2021, an amount of $105,570,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) which will 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 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 21 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination, as described in more detail in the prospectus for the IPO), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

Proposed Business Combination

On April 21, 2022, the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with LMF Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and SeaStar Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SeaStar Medical”) pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into SeaStar Medical (the “Merger”), with SeaStar Medical surviving the merger in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the related ancillary agreements, the “Proposed Business Combination”).

The aggregate consideration payable to the stockholders of SeaStar Medical at the closing of the Proposed Business Combination (the “Closing”) is $85,000,000, payable solely in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), valued at $10.00 per share, subject to possible deductions for indebtedness of SeaStar Medical and SeaStar Medical transaction expenses in excess of a capped amount of $800,000 as set forth in the Merger Agreement, plus the aggregate exercise price of (1) SeaStar Medical warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Proposed Business Combination and (2) SeaStar Medical options issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, less the value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Assumed Equity.

Immediately prior to the Preferred Conversion, each of SeaStar Medical’s issued and outstanding convertible notes will automatically convert into shares of SeaStar Medical common stock. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of SeaStar Medical’s issued and outstanding preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of SeaStar Medical common stock and those SeaStar Medical warrants that would be automatically exercised or exchanged in connection with the Proposed Business Combination pursuant to the terms thereof will be automatically exercised for shares of SeaStar Medical common stock. At the time of the Proposed Business Combination, the (i) SeaStar Medical warrants that would not automatically be exercised or exchanged in connection with the Proposed Business Combination will be assumed by the Company and converted into warrants to purchase Common Stock, (ii) outstanding options for shares of SeaStar Medical common stock under SeaStar Medical’s equity plan will be assumed by the Company and converted into options to purchase Common Stock, and (iii) outstanding restricted stock unit awards under SeaStar Medical’s equity plan will be assumed by the Company and converted into restricted stock units of the Company.  

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties thereto, including, among other things, covenants with respect to the conduct of the Company and SeaStar Medical during the period between execution of the Merger Agreement and the Closing. The representations, warranties and covenants made under the Merger Agreement will not survive the closing; provided, any covenants that are to be performed at or after the closing shall survive until such covenant has been performed or satisfied. No party to the Merger Agreement will have any liabilities to such other parties, other than claims for willful and material breach or fraud. Each of the Company and SeaStar Medical have agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated as soon as practicable.

19

The closing of the Proposed Businses Combination is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, that (i) the stockholders of SeaStar Medical and the stockholders of the Company approve the Proposed Business Combination, (ii) the Nasdaq Stock Market approves for listing the common stock to be issued in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, (iii) the Company has, including any proceeds from the Company’s private investment in public equity financing and net of any redemptions and the payment of transaction expenses (and in the case of SeaStar Medical’s transaction expenses, only expenses up to the Cap (as defined in the Merger Agreement), at least $15,000,000 unrestricted cash on hand and (iv) the Company has $5,000,001 or more in net tangible assets at the closing.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated prior to the closing under certain circumstances, including, among others, (i) by written consent of SeaStar Medical and the Company, (ii) by written notice from either the Company or SeaStar Medical, if (A) the closing has not occurred on or before (I) July 29, 2022 or (II) October 29, 2022 if the Extension (as defined below) occurs (the “Outside Date”), unless the terminating party’s failure to comply in any material respect with its obligations under the Merger Agreement shall have proximately contributed to the failure of the closing to have occurred on or prior to the Outside Date, (B) the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination is permanently enjoined or (C) the Company does not obtain stockholder approval of the Proposed Business Combination at its special meeting, (iii) by written notice from either the Company or SeaStar Medical, in the event that the other party breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements under the Merger Agreement that would result in the failure of the conditions to the Company’s or SeaStar Medical’s obligation to consummate the Proposed Business Combination and such breach has not been cured by the breaching party by the earlier of 30 days after receiving notice of such breach and the Outside Date and (iv) by SeaStar Medical at any time prior to the approval of the Proposed Business Combination by the Company’s public stockholders, if the board of directors of the Company has made a change in recommendation to its stockholders regarding the Proposed Business Combination. The Merger Agreement allows the Outside Date to be extended if the Sponsor elects to extend the time period by which the Company must consummate a business combination by depositing $1,035,000 in additional funds in the Company’s trust account on or prior to July 29, 2022 (the “Extension”). The Company elected to extend the time line. See Footnote 12 – Subsequent Events

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Update

A The significant outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, and the business of any potential target business with which we consummate a business combination could be materially and adversely affected. We may be unable to complete a business combination if continued concerns relating to COVID-19 restrict travel, limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors, or the target company’s personnel, vendors, and services providers are unavailable to negotiate and consummate a transaction in a timely manner. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our search for a business combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

22

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this item.

Redeemable Equity Instruments

In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

Management reviewed the Company’s initial application of ASC 480-10-S99-3A to its accounting classification of public shares and determined that the public shares include certain redemption provisions outside of the Company’s control that require the public shares to be presented as temporary equity regardless of the minimum net tangible asset required by the Company to complete its initial business combination.

Warrants as Derivative Liability

The Company previously accounted for its outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with its IPO as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities. The warrant agreement governing the Warrant Agreement includes a provision that provides for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the Warrant. In addition, the Warrant Agreement includes a provision that in the event of a tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of a single class of common shares, all holders of the Warrants would be entitled to receive cash for their Warrants (the “tender offer provision”).

In connection with the reevaluation of the accounting treatment of the Warrants, the Company’s management evaluated the warrants under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.  ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s common stock.  Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s common stock if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant.  Based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s Audit Committee, in consultation with management and after discussion with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company’s Private Placement Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common shares in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. In addition, based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s Audit Committee, in consultation with management and after discussion with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded the tender offer provision included in the Warrant Agreement fails the “classified in stockholders’ equity” criteria as contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15.

As a result of the above, the Company should have classified the Warrants as derivative liabilities in its previously issued balance sheet as of January 28, 2021 that was filed on Form 8-K on February 3, 2021. Under this accounting treatment, the Company is required to measure the fair value of the Warrants at the end of each reporting period and recognize changes in the fair value from the prior period in the Company’s operating results for the current period improper accounting classification of warrants we issued in January 2021 which, due to its impact on our financial statements which we determined to be a material weakness. This mistake in classification was brought to our attention only when the SEC issued a Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) dated April 12, 2021 (the “SEC Statement”). The SEC Statement addresses certain accounting and reporting considerations related to warrants of a kind similar to those we issued at the time of our initial public offering in January 2021.

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements;” the Company evaluated the changes and has determined that the related impact was material to any previously presented financial statements. Therefore, the Company, in consultation with its Audit Committee, concluded that its previously issued financial statements should be restated to report all public shares as temporary equity and warrants should be classified and measured as derivative liabilities.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

23

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Specifically, management’s determination was based solely on the following material weaknesses which existed as of June 30, 2022. Since inception in 2020 to the present, the Company did not effectively segregate certain accounting duties due to the small size of its accounting staff. In addition, we did not have sufficient controls in place surrounding the accounting of complex financial instruments. This lack of control led to improper accounting classification of warrants we issued in January 2021 which, due to its impact on our financial statements. This lack of control led to improper accounting classification of warrants we issued in January 2021 which we determined to be a material weakness. This mistake in classification was brought to our attention only when the SEC issued a Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) dated April 12, 2021 (the “SEC Statement”). The SEC Statement addresses certain accounting and reporting considerations related to warrants of a kind similar to those we issued at the time of our initial public offering in January 2021.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or 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.

In connection with the evaluation of the SEC Statement and management’s subsequent re-evaluation of its Prior Financials, the Company determined that there were errors in its accounting for its warrants and shares as temporary equity. Management concluded that a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting existed relating to the accounting treatment for complex financial instruments and that the failure to properly account for such instruments constituted a material weakness. This material weakness resulted in the need to restate the Prior Financials.

Notwithstanding the determination that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, as of June 30, 2022, and that there was a material weakness as identified in this Quarterly Report, we believe that our financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered hereby in all material respects.

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.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

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

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021:

If the SEC adopts the proposed rules and regulations relating to, among other things, enhancing disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs, our ability to complete an initial business combination could be adversely and materially affected.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued certain proposed rules relating to, among other items, enhancing disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; amending the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; increasing the liability of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; increasing the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and modifying the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities. These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in revised form, may increase the costs and time needed to negotiate and complete an initial business combination or impair our ability to complete an initial business combination, which may materially and adversely affect us.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner.

As described elsewhere in this report, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for the warrants we issued in connection with our initial public offering in January 2021 and in connection with the small size of our accounting staff and segregation of accounting duties. As a result of these material weaknesses, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2022. These material weaknesses led to a material misstatement of our warrant liabilities, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, change in the fair value of warrant liabilities, additional paid-in capital, accumulated deficit and related financial disclosures for the Six Months ended June 30, 2022.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  Any failure to maintain such internal control could adversely impact our ability to report our financial position and results from operations on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our common stock is listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. In either case, there could result a material adverse effect on our business. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.

(b) Use of Proceeds.

On November 6, 2020, we issued 2,156,250 shares of our Class B common stock, to our sponsor for $25,000 in cash, at a purchase price of approximately $0.012 per share, in connection with our formation. Such shares were issued in connection with our organization pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On January 28, 2021, we consummated our initial public offering of 10,350,000 units. Each unit consists of one share of our Class A common stock and one redeemable warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock for $11.50 per share. The units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $103,500,000.  Maxim Group LLC acted as sole book-running manager. The securities sold in the initial public offering were registered under the Securities Act on a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-251962), which was declared effective by the SEC on January 25, 2021.

Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering, we consummated a private placement of 5,738,000 private placement warrants, at a price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, to our sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $5,738,000.  Such securities were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Following the closing of our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, an aggregate amount of $105,570,00 (which amount includes the deferred underwriting discount) was placed in a trust account established in connection with the initial public offering.

Transaction costs amounted to $6,211,902, consisting of $2,070,00 in underwriting discount, $3,622,500 in deferred underwriting discount, the fair value of the shares issued to the underwriters of $1,000 deemed as underwriters’ compensation, and $518,402 of other offering costs.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account not previously released to us (less taxes payable) to complete our initial business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay our franchise and income taxes. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, we may apply the balance of the cash released to us from the trust account for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of the post-transaction company, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our initial business combination, to fund the purchase of other companies or for working capital.

We intend to use the funds held outside the trust account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate, complete a business combination, and implement our plan of dissolution.

For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our initial public offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report.
