NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS:

SPREE ACQUISITION CORP. 1 LIMITED (hereafter – the Company) is a blank check company, incorporated on August 6, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (hereafter – the Business Combination).

Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for the purpose of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search on mobility-related technology businesses.

The Company is an early stage and an emerging growth company, and as such, the Company is subject to all of its risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

All activity for the period from August 6, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and its initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) described below and identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition targets for an Initial Business Combination. The Company generates income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering and the Private Placement (as defined below in Note 1(b)).

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

The Company’s sponsor is Spree Operandi, LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, which formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Spree Operandi U.S. LP, a Delaware limited partnership, for purposes of holding securities of the Company (collectively, the parent company and subsidiary, the “Sponsor”).

The registration statement relating to the Company’s Public Offering was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 15, 2021. The initial stage of the Company’s Public Offering— the sale of 20,000,000 Units at a price of $10 per Unit or $200 million in the aggregate — closed on December 20, 2021. In addition, the Sponsor purchased in a private placement that closed concurrently with the Public Offering (the “Private Placement”) an aggregate of 945,715 private Units (see also note 3) (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10 per Private Unit, or $9,457,150 in the aggregate. Upon those closings, $204 million was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) (see also note 1(c) below). Out of the $204 million placed in the trust account, $200 million was derived from the gross proceeds of the Public Offering, inclusive of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter, and an additional $4 million was derived from the proceeds invested by the Company’s Sponsor in the Private Placement, for the benefit of the public. The Company intends to finance its initial Business Combination with the net proceeds from the Public Offering and the Private Placement.

The proceeds held in the Trust Account are invested only in specified U.S. government treasury bills or in specified money market funds registered under the Investment Company Act and compliant with Rule 2a-7. Unless and until the Company completes the Business Combination, it may pay its expenses only from the net proceeds of the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. The balance outside the Trust Account as of June 30, 2022 was approximately $0.4 million.

SPREE ACQUISITION CORP. 1 LIMITED

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.):

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an initial Business Combination. The initial Business Combination must occur with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on the income accrued in the Trust Account). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully consummate an initial Business Combination.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination, will provide its public shareholders the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. However, in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5 million following such redemptions. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares and the related initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate initial Business Combination.

If the Company holds a shareholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an initial Business Combination, a public shareholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two days prior to the general meeting or commencement of the Company’s tender offer, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

Pursuant to the Company’s memorandum and articles of association, if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within a 15-month period (such 15-month period extended (a) to 18 months if the Company has filed (i) a Form 8-K including a definitive merger or acquisition agreement or (ii) a proxy statement, registration statement or similar filing for an initial business combination but has not completed the initial business combination within such 15-month period or (b) two instances by an additional six months each instance for a total of up to 18 months or 21 months, respectively, by depositing into the trust account for each six month extension an amount equal to $0.10 per unit) or during any shareholder-approved extension period, (hereafter — the Combination Period), following the closing of the Public Offering, 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100 thousand of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

SPREE ACQUISITION CORP. 1 LIMITED

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.):

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Class B ordinary shares (as described in note 3) held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within 15 months or during any extension period following the closing of the Public Offering. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors or officers acquire any Class A ordinary shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the prescribed time period.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an initial Business Combination, the Company’s shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the ordinary shares. The Company’s shareholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the ordinary shares, except that the Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, under the circumstances, and, subject to the limitations, described herein.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $442 thousand of cash and an accumulated deficit of $8,109 thousand. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standard Codification 205-40, “Going Concern”, the Company may need to obtain additional funds in order to satisfy its liquidity needs in its search for an Initial Business Combination. Since its inception date and through the issuance date of these financial statements, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through an initial capital injection from the Sponsor, followed by net Private Placement proceeds, as well as several borrowings of funds under promissory notes issued by the Company to the Sponsor (which borrowings were repaid upon the closing of the Company’s Public Offering). Management has determined that it will need to rely and is significantly dependent on amounts to be made available under future promissory notes or other forms of financial support to be provided by the Sponsor (which the Sponsor is not obligated to provide).

Moreover, the Company has until March 20, 2023 (unless such period is extended, as detailed under d. Initial Business Combination above) to consummate the initial Business Combination. If a business combination is not consummated by this date (unless extended), there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

SPREE ACQUISITION CORP. 1 LIMITED

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.):

The Company intends to complete the Initial Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any business combination ahead of March 20, 2023, nor that it will be able to raise sufficient funds to complete an Initial Business Combination.

No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company fail to obtain financial support in its search for an Initial Business Combination, nor if it is required to liquidate after March 20, 2023.

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 a 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.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The financial statement has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (hereafter – U.S. GAAP) and the regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (hereafter – SEC). The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statement are as follows:

The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q.

Certain disclosures included in the financial statements as of, and for the period from August 6, 2021 to December 31, 2021, have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements under U.S. GAAP and the rules of the SEC. These unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim period operating results may not be indicative of the operating results for a full year.

SPREE ACQUISITION CORP. 1 LIMITED

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.):

The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements.

The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement.

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to holders of ordinary shares of the Company, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the reporting period.

In computing the Company’s diluted earnings per share, the denominator for diluted earnings per share is a computation of the weighted-average number of ordinary shares and the potential dilutive ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into six broad levels, which are described as follows:

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (hereafter – ASC 740). ASC 740 prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

SPREE ACQUISITION CORP. 1 LIMITED

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.):

The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value if it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as non-current in accordance with ASC 740.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions (“UTPs”) in accordance with ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% (cumulative probability) likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits under taxes on income (tax benefit).

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 – CAPITAL DEFICIENCY:

Class A ordinary shares

The Company is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value each. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has an aggregate of 20,000,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding that were sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering. The Units (which also included Warrants) were sold at a price of $10 per Unit, for aggregate consideration of $200 million in the Public Offering. The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 945,715 private shares as part of the Private Units (which also included private warrants) sold in the Private Placement at a price of $10 per Private Unit, or $9,457,150 in the aggregate.

Class B ordinary shares

The Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value each. On August 23, 2021 the Company issued 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value each for a total consideration of $25,000 to the Sponsor. On November 23, 2021, the Sponsor surrendered to the Company for cancellation and for nil consideration 718,750 Class B ordinary shares of par value $0.0001 each. On January 29, 2022, the underwriter’s over-allotment option to buy up to an aggregate of 125,000 additional Units expired unexercised. As a result, 31,250 of the original 5,031,250 Class B ordinary shares issued to the sponsor, which were subject to forfeiture to the extent the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not fully exercised, were cancelled, leaving the sponsor with 5,000,000 Class B ordinary shares.

Class B ordinary shares are convertible into Class A ordinary shares, on a one-to-one basis, at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder, or automatically on the day of the Business Combination. Class B ordinary shares also possess the sole right to vote for the election or removal of directors, until the consummation of an initial Business Combination.

NOTE 3 – CAPITAL DEFICIENCY (cont.):

The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 preference shares of $0.0001 par value each. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has no preference shares issued and outstanding.

NOTE 4 – LOSS PER SHARE:

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had two classes of ordinary shares, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption and non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares.

Earnings or losses are shared pro rata (excluding the accretion of Class A redeemable shares, derived from interest earned on marketable securities held in trust account) between the two classes of ordinary shares, based on the weighted average number of shares issued outstanding for the period ended June 30, 2022. The accretion to redemption value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is fully allocated to the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption.

The calculation is as follows:

SPREE ACQUISITION CORP. 1 LIMITED

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 4 – LOSS PER SHARE (cont.):

The Company had outstanding warrants to purchase up to 10,472,858 class A shares. The weighted average of such shares was excluded from diluted net loss per share calculation since the exercise of the warrants is contingent on the occurrence of future events. As of June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or any other contracts which could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company.

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

On August 22, 2021, the Company signed an agreement with the Sponsor, under which the Company shall pay the Sponsor a fixed $10 thousand per month for office space, utilities and other administrative expenses. The monthly payments under this administrative services agreement commenced on the effective date of the registration statement for the Public Offering and will continue until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination, or (ii) the Company’s liquidation.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Underwriter’s Deferred Compensation

Under the Underwriting Agreement, the Company shall pay an additional fee (the “Deferred Underwriting Compensation”) of 4.5% ($9 million) of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering, payable upon the Company’s completion of the Business Combination. The Deferred Underwriting Compensation will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes the Business Combination.

The Deferred Underwriting Compensation has been recorded as a deferred liability on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2022, as management has deemed the consummation of a Business Combination to be probable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and our audited financial statements and related notes thereto as of, and for the period from August 6, 2021 (inception) to, December 31, 2021, included in the 2021 Annual Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our initial business combination, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the 2021 Annual Report, as updated by the “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We completed our initial public offering in December 2021, and since that time, we have engaged in discussions with, and due diligence with respect to, potential business combination target companies; we have not, however, as of yet, reached a definitive agreement with a specific target company with respect to an initial business combination with us. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using (i) cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement of the private warrants, (ii) cash from a new financing involving the sale of our shares and/or other equity, (iii) cash from one or more debt financings, and/or (iv) issuance of shares to target company shareholders.

The issuance of additional ordinary shares in a business combination:

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant indebtedness, that could result in:

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had approximately $442,000 and $1,011,000, respectively, of cash, and approximately $724,000 and $1,297,000, respectively, of working capital. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial business combination or a related capital-raise will be successful.

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

We have not engaged in any revenue-generating operations to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities and preparations for our initial public offering and, subsequent to our initial public offering, searching for, and due diligence related to, potential target companies with which to consummate a business combination transaction. We have not and we will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We generate income in the form of interest income on funds held in our trust account after our initial public offering. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the June 30, 2022 date of our financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report. After our initial public offering, which was consummated in December 2021, we have been incurring increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses related to our search for a target company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans. Our management expects that the proceeds of our initial public offering, together with proceeds from additional loans from our sponsor, if necessary (as described below), will suffice to cover our working capital needs until our initial business combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to consummate, or to finance our preparations for, an initial business combination will be successful.

Prior to the completion of our initial public offering, our liquidity needs were satisfied from the availability of up to $300,000 in loans from our sponsor under an unsecured promissory note under which we had initially borrowed $199,598 prior to the consummation of our initial public offering. The total balance owed under the note was repaid in full upon the consummation of our initial public offering, and as of June 30, 2022, no amounts remained outstanding under that note.

Subsequent to our initial public offering, our working capital needs have been satisfied primarily by the approximately $1,100,000 available to us initially outside our trust account (from the private placement of private units consummated simultaneously with our initial public offering).

The net proceeds from (i) the sale of the units in our initial public offering, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $600,000, directors and officers liability insurance premiums of approximately $750,000 and underwriting commissions of $4,000,000 (but excluding a deferred underwriting fee of $9,000,000 that will be payable to the representative of the underwriters as a deferred underwriting fee at the time of (and subject to the consummation of) our initial business combination transaction), and after adding back $1,000,000 paid to us by the underwriter to reimburse certain of our expenses, and (ii) the sale of the private units for a purchase price of $9,457,150 in the aggregate, was $205,100,000. Of this amount, $204,000,000 (including $9,000,000 in potential deferred underwriting fees to be payable to the representative of the underwriters at the time of our initial business combination transaction) was deposited into a non-interest bearing trust account. The funds in the trust account are invested only in specified U.S. government treasury bills or in specified money market funds. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $204,245,000 of cash and marketable securities held in that trust account. We may withdraw interest from the trust to pay taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. The remaining amount of approximately $1,100,000 from our initial public offering and private units financing was not transferred to the trust account and was deposited in our bank account. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $442,000 of cash deposited in that bank account. As of June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $8,109,000.

We may use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and excluding potential fees to be payable to the underwriters for advisory services in connection with our initial business combination transaction), minus amounts paid out to redeeming shareholders, as consideration to complete our initial business combination. To the extent that our ordinary shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account (less any amounts paid out to redeeming shareholders) will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

Prior to our initial business combination, we are using the proceeds held outside of the trust account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a business combination, pay for administrative and support services, and pay taxes to the extent the interest earned on the trust account is not sufficient to pay our taxes.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds 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 of the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. In lieu of cash repayment, upon the closing of our initial business combination, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may instead be converted into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private warrants (that are part of the private units) issued to our sponsor. The terms of such loans by our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of June 30, 2022 and as of the date of this Quarterly Report, there are no amounts outstanding under any such loans from our sponsor or its affiliates. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor, as we do not believe third parties are willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.

Our estimated primary liquidity requirements during our post-initial public offering, pre-business combination period include approximately: $550,000 for legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses associated with structuring, negotiating and documenting any business combinations; $100,000 for legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements, including NYSE and other regulatory fees; $180,000 for administrative and support services; and $270,000 for working capital that is being used for miscellaneous expenses and reserves.

These amounts are estimates and may differ materially from our actual expenses. In addition, we could use a portion of the funds not placed in trust to pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into an agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision would be determined based on the terms of the specific business combination and the amount of our available funds at the time. Our forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise) could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.

Currently, we do not believe that we will need to raise additional funds following our initial public offering in order to meet the expenditures required for searching for a target company for, and consummating, our initial business combination. However, the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating and consummating an initial business combination may be greater than what we currently estimate would be needed to do so. Consequently, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial 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.

Moreover, we will likely need to obtain additional financing (either by issuing additional securities or incurring debt) to operate the combined company following our initial business combination, in part because we may become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. We cannot assure you that our plans for that financing or to consummate an initial business combination will be successful.

In the absence of a business combination, our required liquidation date (March 20, 2023) would be less than 12 months after the date of our 2021 Annual Report (subject to any Extension Period that we may obtain). In addition to that impending required liquidation date, we are dependent upon additional funding from our sponsor or its affiliates during the period prior to our initial business combination (to be evidenced by additional promissory note(s) that we may issue). Those factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2022. 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 an agreement to pay the sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, and administrative and support services, provided to our company. We will continue to incur those monthly fees until the earlier of the completion of a business combination and our company’s liquidation. We are also obligated to pay Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, the representative of the underwriters in our IPO, a deferred underwriting fee of $9.0 million, which represents 4.5% of the gross proceeds of our IPO, which is payable upon— and subject to— the consummation of our initial business combination transaction.

Critical Accounting Estimates

None.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The net proceeds from our initial public offering and the sale of the private units held in the trust account are invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. 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

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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 Quarterly 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, whom we refer to as our “Certifying Officers”, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-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 effective.

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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our 2021 Annual Report, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report, except as described below:

Our search for a business combination, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected by unfavorable macro-economic trends or by the ongoing invasion of the Ukraine by Russia.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, together with actions taken to counter-act its impact, have, in large part, triggered certain adverse macro-economic trends that threaten the improved economic outlook achieved in its aftermath. Specifically, supply chain delays and rising shipping costs, along with significant inflationary pressures due to the infusion of money into circulation as part of a “loose” monetary policy designed to ease economic conditions during the pandemic, now threaten global economic prosperity. Many governments and central banks have responded by raising interest rates in order to curb inflationary pressures, which, in turn, has hurt financial markets and made it more difficult for companies to raise capital. The extent to which these trends impact our search for a business combination, or the financial condition of our post-business combination company (assuming that we successfully locate a target company and consummate a business combination), depends on present and future developments in the industry in which we are searching for target companies, which developments are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

In a similar manner, Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine could also have an adverse effect on our ability to consummate a business combination transaction or on the operations of the target business with which we combine. That invasion may result in increased costs of compliance, restrictions on our target business’ ability to sell into specific regions, higher volatility in foreign currency exchange rates, increased use of less cost-efficient resources and negative impacts to our target business. The invasion may also cause a deterioration in general economic conditions, which may adversely impact our access to financing for the combined company upon the consummation of a business combination, thereby frustrating our ability to effect that combination.

If the disruptions posed by unfavorable macro-economic conditions, Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine, or other matters of global concern continue for a further 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.

Changes in SEC rules affecting special purpose acquisition companies may adversely affect our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination.

Our consummation of a business combination may be contingent upon our ability to comply with certain laws, regulations, interpretations and applications, and any post-business combination company may be subject to additional laws, regulations, interpretations and applications. Compliance with the foregoing may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time, and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete an initial business combination.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules relating to, among other items, disclosures in business combination transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, and private operating companies; the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, 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 a revised form, may increase the costs of and the time needed to negotiate and complete an initial business combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete an initial business combination.

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

On December 15, 2021, the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-261367) relating to our IPO was declared effective by the SEC.
