The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) were used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.
Initial Business Combination
Pursuant to the Nasdaq Capital Markets listing rules, the Company’s Initial Business Combination had to be with a target business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the Trust Account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for such Initial Business Combination, although this could have entailed simultaneous acquisitions of several target businesses. The Company completed an Initial Business Combination on July 20, 2021, which was the Business Combination with Stryve. The Company sought shareholder approval of the Business Combination, which was obtained, and provided its public shareholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), in each case subject to certain limitations.
Failure to Consummate an Initial Business Combination
The Company initially had until July 31, 2020 to complete an Initial Business Combination. On July 29, 2020, the Company held a special meeting pursuant to which the Company’s shareholders approved extending the date by which the Company had to complete an Initial Business Combination from July 31, 2020 to October 31, 2020 (or December 31, 2020 if the Company had executed a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination by October 31, 2020).

The Company completed an Initial Business Combination on July 20, 2021, which was the Business Combination with Stryve.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $59,163 in its operating bank accounts, $13,543,086 in marketable securities held in the Trust Account to be used for an Initial Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its Public Shares in connection therewith. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $322,199 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is available to pay the Company’s tax obligations, if any.
Until the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company used the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating target businesses, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar location of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses and structuring, negotiating and completing an Initial Business Combination, which was the Business Combination with Stryve.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company was not able to provide any assurance that new financing was available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, which raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through the Extended Date, which was the date the Company is required cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up if it has not completed an Initial Business Combination. The Company completed an Initial Business Combination on July 20, 2021, which was the Business Combination with Stryve, and has raised sufficient capital for its operations.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position and/or results of its operations, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
10 |
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on February 18, 2021, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2020 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed 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 three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
At June 30, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in money market fund (Select Treasury Institutional Funds), which primarily invest in short term U.S. Treasury securities. The Company accounts for its securities held in the trust account in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320 “Debt and Equity Securities.” These securities are classified as trading securities with unrealized gains/losses, if any, recognized through the statement of operations.
The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including 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, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s 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, 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.
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter.

On April 12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities rather than equity on a SPAC’s balance sheet.
Historically, the Company’s Private Warrants and Public Warrants were reflected as a component of equity as opposed to liabilities on the balance sheets and the statements of operations did not include the subsequent non-cash changes in estimated fair value of the warrants, based on the Company’s application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Some of the views expressed in the SEC Staff Statement were not consistent with the Company’s historical interpretation of specific provisions within its warrant agreement and the Company’s application of ASC 815-40 to the warrant agreement. After discussion and evaluation, including with the Company’s accounting advisor and the Company’s audit committee, and taking into consideration the SEC Staff Statement, management has concluded that the Company’s Private Warrants should be presented as liabilities with subsequent fair value remeasurement.
Accordingly, the Company classifies the Private Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the warrants initially was estimated using a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology.
Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic net loss per ordinary share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. The Company has not considered the effect of (1) warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase 11,195,000 ordinary shares, and (2) rights sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement that convert into 1,119,500 ordinary shares, in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants and the conversion of the rights into ordinary shares are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted net loss per ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for the periods presented.

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 Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position over the next twelve months.
The Company may be subject to potential examination by foreign 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 foreign tax laws.
The Company was previously considered an exempted Cayman Islands company and was not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision is zero for all periods presented. As part of the Business Combination completed on July 20, 2021, the Company was domiciled in Delaware.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration 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. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed financial statements, primarily due to their short-term nature.
13 |
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; |
● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.
Note 3 - Initial Public Offering
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold Each Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, one right (the “Public Right”) and one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrant”). Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (see Note 1 and Note 7).

In the case of the Business Combination with Stryve, the fees for this agreement were reduced by 50% to $1.62 million, which were paid in connection with the Business Combination.
Fee Arrangements
Following the Initial Public Offering, the Company entered into a letter agreement with a member of the Company’s board of directors that provides for a success fee to be paid to such director upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination with a target business introduced to the Company by such director in an amount equal to 0.6% of the total consideration paid by the Company in the transaction, subject to certain minimum and maximum amounts set forth in the agreement. No payment was made under this letter agreement in connection to the Business Combination.
In addition, the Company entered into several letter agreements with unaffiliated third parties that provide for a success fee to be paid to each such third party upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination with a target business introduced to the Company by such third party in amounts ranging from 0.75% to 1.0% of the total consideration paid by the Company in the transaction, subject to certain minimum and maximum amounts set forth in the various agreements.

Note 7 - Shareholders’ Equity
Ordinary Shares
The Company was previously authorized to issue ordinary shares with a par value of per share. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were and ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding and ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.
In connection with the organization of the Company, a total of ordinary shares were sold to the Initial Shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of . The 2,875,000 shares included an aggregate of up to shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part so that the Company’s Initial Shareholders would own % of the issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option to purchase an additional Units, shares are no longer subject to forfeiture and shares were forfeited, resulting in an aggregate of shares issued and outstanding at the Initial Public Offering date.
16 |
Rights
Each holder of a right will receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination, even if a holder of such right converted all ordinary shares held by it in connection with an Initial Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon exchange of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional shares upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price paid for by investors in the Initial Public Offering.
The Company completed an Initial Business Combination on July 20, 2021, which was the Business Combination with Stryve. Each holder of a right received one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of the Business Combination with Styvve, even if a holder of such right converted all ordinary shares held by it. No fractional shares were issued upon exchange of the rights.
Warrants
The Public Warrants became exercisable upon the completion of the Business Combination with Stryve. However, except as set forth below, no Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 90 days from the consummation of an Initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act provided that such exemption is available. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis. The warrants will expire five years from the consummation of an Initial Business Combination.
The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption (excluding the Private Warrants), in whole and not in part, at a price of $ per warrant:
● | at any time while the warrants are exercisable, | |
● | upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder, | |
● | if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders, and | |
● | if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the ordinary shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.
|
The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants and the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants were transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of an Initial Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
17 |
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its Initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $8.50 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to Company affiliates, without taking into account any insider shares held by such affiliates prior to such issuance) (where “insider shares” refers to the 2,875,000 ordinary shares held by the Company’s Initial Shareholders prior to the Company’s Initial Public Offering), (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 Company’s initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of its initial Business Combination (net of redemptions) and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $8.50 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the price at which the Company issues the additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants.
Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. | |
Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. | |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
|
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Marketable securities held in Trust Account
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, investment in the Trust Account consisted of $13,543,086 and $13,545,503, respectively in a money market fund with the fair value approximate to the carrying cost.

Private Warrants
The Private Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the consolidated statement of operations.
The Private Warrants were valued using a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs.
At the time of the IPO, in January 31, 2019, the Private Warrants liability had a fair value $161,950. The Private Warrants liability as of January 31, 2019 was concluded to be non-material, as well as in other previous periods reported. The impact of the Private Warrant Liability since the IPO was reported in the period as of March 31, 2021. per Private Warrant, or an aggregate amount of

Note 9 - Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed financial statements.
As described in Note 1, the Company completed the Business Combination on July 20, 2021. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company paid $10.4 million of the Company’s expenses and other liabilities due at the Closing Date and paid $7.8 million to redeeming stockholders, resulting in approximately $37.9 million in net proceeds.

As contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, on or before the Closing Date, the following occurred: (i) the Seller and Stryve conducted a reorganization via a merger pursuant to which the Seller became a holding company for Stryve, the former owners of Stryve became the owners of the Seller, and the former holders of convertible notes of Stryve became holders of convertible notes of the Seller, and pursuant to which Stryve retained all of its subsidiaries, business, assets and liabilities, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller, (ii) the Company was transferred by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and domesticated as a corporation in the State of Delaware, (iii) the Seller contributed to Holdings all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Stryve in exchange for 11,502,355 newly issued non-voting Class B membership interests of Holdings (the “Seller Consideration Units”) and voting (but non-economic) Class V Common Stock of the Company (subject to a post-Closing working capital true-up), (iv) the Company contributed all of its cash and cash equivalents to Holdings, approximately$37.9 million, after the payment of approximately $7.8 million to the Company’s shareholders that elected to have their Andina Company shares redeemed in connection with the Closing (the “Redemption”) and the payment of approximately $10.4 million of the Company’s expenses and other liabilities due at the Closing, in exchange for newly issued voting Class A membership interests of Holdings and (v) the Company issued $10.9 million of Class A common stock, satisfied by the offset of principal and accrued interest under outstanding Bridge Notes issued by Stryve pursuant to the Bridge PIPE Investment, as part of the Business Combination; and (vi) the Company changed its name to “Stryve Foods, Inc.” In addition, the Company’s ordinary shares converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, without any action of the holder. As a result of the Business Combination, the Company is organized in an “Up-C” structure, in which substantially all of the assets of the combined company are held by Holdings, and the Company’s only assets are its equity interests in Holdings.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the information in this report does not reflect the consummation of the Business Combination, which occurred subsequent to the period covered hereunder.
Overview
We are a former blank check company formed on July 29, 2016 for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar Business Combination with one or more target businesses. As described above, on July 20, 2021, we effectuate our initial Business Combination.
Results of Operations
Prior to the completion of the Business Combination, we neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues. Our only activities through the closing of the Business Combination were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for our Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for an Initial Business Combination. Although we did not generate operating revenue prior to completion of the Business Combination, we have generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We also incurred expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. As a result of the closing of the Business Combination, our business has substantially changed and is now that of Stryve.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $790,127, which consists of formation and operating costs of $691,715 and change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $98,750, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $338.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $2,262,534, which consists of formation and operating costs of $1,394,191 and change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $869,000, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $657.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $781,003, which consists of operating costs of $834,124 and an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $58,537, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $111,658.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $447,824, which consists operating costs of $978,461, offset by of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $530,255 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $382.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On January 31, 2019, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 10,800,000 Units, which included a partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 800,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $108,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our Initial Public Offering we consummated the sale of 395,000 Private Units to certain initial shareholders and the underwriters at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $3,950,000.
Following our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Units, a total of $108,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $3,204,451 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $2,700,000 of underwriting fees and $504,451 of other costs.

As of June 30, 2021, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $13,543,086, which was held within a Treasury Institutional Fund. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes.
As of June 30, 2021, we had cash of $59,163 held outside of the Trust Account. We used 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, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete the Business Combination.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $139,029. Net loss of $2,262,534 was impacted by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $656, a change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $869,000 and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which provided $1,255,161 of cash for operating activities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $284,300. Net loss of $447,824 was impacted by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $530,255, an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $382 and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which provided $694,161 of cash for operating activities.
We used substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account to complete the Business Combination. Funds held in the Trust Account were also used to fund the redemption of 756,896 ordinary shares.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2021. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than as described below.
We entered into an agreement to pay the joint book-running managers in our Initial Public Offering as advisors in connection with an Initial Business Combination to assist us in holding meetings with its shareholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce us to potential investors that are interested in purchasing our securities in connection with an Initial Business Combination, assist us in obtaining shareholder approval for the Business Combination and assist us with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. We agreed pay the joint book-running managers aggregate cash fees for such services upon the consummation of an Initial Business Combination in an amount equal to $3.24 million (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable). In the case of the Business Combination with Stryve, the fees were reduced by 50% to $1.62 million.
We entered into a letter agreement with a member of our board of directors that provides for a success fee to be paid to such director upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination with a target business introduced to us by such director in an amount equal to 0.6% of the total consideration paid by us in the transaction, subject to certain minimum and maximum amounts set forth in the agreement. No payment was made under this letter agreement in connection to the Business Combination.
In addition, we entered into several letter agreements with unaffiliated third parties that provide for a success fee to be paid to each such third party upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination with a target business introduced to us by such third party in amounts ranging from 0.75% to 1.0% of the total consideration paid by us in the transaction, subject to certain minimum and maximum amounts set forth in the various agreements. No payment was made under these letter agreements in connection to the Business Combination.

Related to the Business Combination with Stryve, we entered into engagement letters with Cowen and Craig-Hallum, to be financial advisors and placement agent to the transaction. The total amount paid in connection with the Business Combination with Styve was $5.46 million, including expenses.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our condensed balance sheets.
Net Loss Per Ordinary Share
We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net loss per ordinary share, basic and diluted for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes, if any, by the weighted average number of shares of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption outstanding for the period. Net loss per ordinary share, basic and diluted for and non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing net loss less income attributable to ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, by the weighted average number of shares of non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the period presented.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter.
On April 12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities rather than equity on a SPAC’s balance sheet.
23 |
Historically, our Private Warrants and Public Warrants were reflected as a component of equity as opposed to liabilities on the balance sheets and the statements of operations did not include the subsequent non-cash changes in estimated fair value of the warrants, based on our application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Some of the views expressed in the SEC Staff Statement were not consistent with the Company’s historical interpretation of specific provisions within its warrant agreement and the Company’s application of ASC 815-40 to the warrant agreement. After discussion and evaluation, including with our accounting advisor our registered public accounting firm and our audit committee, and taking into consideration the SEC Staff Statement, management has concluded that our Private Warrants should be presented as liabilities with subsequent fair value remeasurement.
Accordingly, the Company classifies the Private Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the warrants initially was estimated using a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology.
The change in accounting for the Private Warrants did not have any impact on our liquidity, cash flows, revenues or costs of operating our business and the other non-cash adjustments. The change in accounting for the Private Warrants does not materially impact the amounts previously reported for the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, investments held in the trust account, operating expenses or total cash flows from operations for any of these periods.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Following the consummation of the Offering, the net proceeds of the Offering, including amounts in the Trust Account, were invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in US treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believed there was no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its co-chief executive officers and its principal financial officer (the “Executives”), of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Based on this evaluation, our Executives have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2021 were not effective solely due to the previously identified material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021, that resulted in reclassifying the Company’s ordinary shares as temporary and permanent equity in its previously issued financial statements. On May 24, 2021, the Company’s Audit Committee authorized management to restate the Company’s interim condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Notwithstanding the identified material weakness as of June 30, 2021, the Company believes that the unaudited condensed financial statements contained in this Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the fiscal period presented in conformity with GAAP.
24 |
Remediation Plan
To remediate the material weakness surrounding the Company’s classification of its ordinary shares as temporary and permanent equity, the Company reviewed these internal controls and continues to enhance the supervisory review of accounting procedures in this financial reporting area.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than execution of the material weakness remediation activities described above, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. Regardless of outcome, such proceedings or claims can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of resources and other factors and there can be no assurances that favorable outcomes will be obtained.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As a result of the closing of the Business Combination on July 20, 2021, the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 no longer apply.
