NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Biotech Acquisition Company
(the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 3, 2020. The Company
was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar
business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary
which was formed on November 8, 2021, Blade Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
The Company is not limited
to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of completing a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging
growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of June 30, 2022, the
Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period September 3, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2022 relates to the
Company’s formation and its initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”), which is described
below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the
completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from
the marketable securities held in the Trust Account (as defined below).
The registration statements
for the Company’s Initial Public Offering became effective on January 25, 2021. On January 28, 2021, the Company consummated the
Initial Public Offering, selling 23,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included
in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option
in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000, as described in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing
of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 6,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”)
at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Biotech Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating
gross proceeds of $6,000,000, which is described in Note 4.
Transaction costs amounted
to $13,114,249, consisting of $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $8,650,000 of deferred underwriting commission and $464,249 of other offering
costs.
Following the closing of
the Initial Public Offering on January 28, 2021, an amount of $230,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the
Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”)
and invested in U.S. Treasury Securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that
holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the
Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account
to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.

(Unaudited)
The Company’s management
has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private
Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination.
The Company must complete its initial Business Combination with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal
to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account
and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company
will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding
voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required
to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully
effect a Business Combination.
The Company will provide
its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination
either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The
decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by
the Company. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account (initially
$10.00 per share), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of a Business Combination, including any pro rata interest
earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations. There will be no
redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.
The Company will proceed
with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such completion of a Business Combination
and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman
Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who vote at a general
meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company
does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”),
and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior
to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor
has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased in or after the Initial Public Offering
in favor of approving a Business Combination and to waive its redemption rights with respect to any such shares in connection with a shareholder
vote to approve a Business Combination. 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 $5,000,001. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares, without voting,
and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules,
the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder, together with any
affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined
under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming
its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The Sponsor has agreed (a)
to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a
Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify
the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business
Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’
rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem
their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment and (iii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account
with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination.
The Company will have until
January 28, 2023 (the “Combination Period”) to complete a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business
Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as
promptly as reasonably possible but no more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (less up to $100,000
of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption
will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions,
if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders
and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to
provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The Sponsor has agreed to
waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination
Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to
liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account
in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will
be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event
of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the
Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).
The Sponsor has agreed that
it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company,
or by a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds
in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as
of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of trust assets, in each case net of the amount of
interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a
waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of
the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third
party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce
the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors,
service providers (other than the Company’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the
Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held
in the Trust Account.
Termination of Proposed Business Combination
On November 8, 2021, the
Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Blade Therapeutics, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (“Blade”), Blade Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company, Biotech Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in the capacity as the representative from and after the closing
of the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”) of the shareholders of the Company
as of immediately prior to the Closing and their successors and assignees, and Jean-Frédéric Viret in the capacity as the
representative of the Earnout Participants (as defined in the Merger Agreement) from and after the Closing.

On
June 10, 2022, pursuant to Section 10.01(a) of the Merger Agreement, the Company and Blade entered into a Termination and Release
Agreement pursuant to which the Merger Agreement was terminated effective as of June 10, 2022.
As
a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement is of no further force and effect, and certain Transaction Agreements
(as defined in the Merger Agreement) entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement were also automatically terminated in accordance
with their terms and are of no further force and effect.
Risks and Uncertainties
Impact of COVID-19
Management continues to evaluate
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that although it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect
on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and the consummation of its Initial Business Combination, the specific
impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Impact of the Military
Conflict in Ukraine
In February 2022, the Russian
Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including
the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and
related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements.
Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going
Concern
As of June 30, 2022, the
Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,696 not held in the Trust Account and available for working capital purposes and a working
capital deficit of $3,175,993. The Company may need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating
our business. If the estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business
Combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business
prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing or draw on the Working Capital Loans
(as defined below) either to complete a Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of the public
shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection
with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company would only complete such financing
simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination because
it does not have sufficient funds available, the Company will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition,
following the Business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, the Company may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet
our obligations.
In connection with the Company’s
assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,”
the Company has until January 28, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will have sufficient funds
to operate its business prior to a Business Combination or be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination
is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined
that the liquidity condition and 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. No adjustments have been made to the carrying
amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after January 28, 2023.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with U.S. 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 complete presentation of financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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.
The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed
with the SEC on March 8, 2022. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future periods.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging
growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012
(the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable
to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the
independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations
regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding
advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1)
of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until
private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class
of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS
Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging
growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period
which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company,
as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither
an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible
because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed
consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires
management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation
or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating
its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates
included in these condensed consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such
estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly
from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all
short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash and
cash equivalents of $1,696 and $91,407 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
At June 30, 2022 and December
31, 2021, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S.
Treasury securities. Interest income is recognized when earned. The Company’s portfolio of marketable securities is comprised solely
of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185
days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the
conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act. Upon the closing of the Initial Public
Offering and the Private Placement, $230 million was placed in the Trust Account and invested in money market funds that invest in U.S.
government securities. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading
securities are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses
resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities
held in Trust Account in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held
in Trust Account are determined using available market information. The Company had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of
$230,278,727 and $230,021,238 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Advances from Related Parties
The Company considers all
funds received from the Sponsor or any other related parties to be advances from related parties. The Company had $3,370 and $870 in advances
from related parties as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to
Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for
its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified
as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features
redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not
solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’
equity. The Company’s ordinary shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s
control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Class A ordinary
shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s
unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes
in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value
at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges
against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit. If the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination by January
28, 2023 and is liquidated, interest earned on the funds in the Trust Account up to $100,000 may be used to satisfy dissolution expenses
incurred. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance in the Trust Account was $230,278,727 and $230,021,238, respectively.
At June 30, 2022 and December
31, 2021, the Class A ordinary shares reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Offering Costs
Offering costs consist of
legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the condensed consolidated balance sheet date that are directly
related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $13,114,249 were initially charged to shareholders’ (deficit)
equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, and $520,319 of the offering costs were related to the warrant liabilities
and charged to the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1
and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally
of professional and registration fees that are related to the IPO. Accordingly, on January 28, 2021, offering costs totaling $13,114,249
(consisting of $4,000,000 in underwriters’ discount, $8,650,000 in deferred underwriters’ discount, and $464,249 other offering
expenses) have been allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value
basis compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares issued were initially charged to
temporary equity and then remeasured to ordinary shares subject to redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Offering
costs associated with warrant liabilities of $520,319 have been expensed and presented as non-operating expenses in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations and offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares have been charged to shareholders’ deficit.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company accounts for
the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D and 7F, under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for
equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value
and adjusts the Warrants to fair value in respect of each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each condensed
consolidated balance sheet date until the Warrants are exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our condensed consolidated
statements of operations. The Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available
are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Private Placement Warrants are valued using a lattice model, specifically a binomial lattice
model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology (see Note 9).

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for
income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets
and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and
for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation
allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740 also clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized
tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not
aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company is considered
an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently 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 was zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
The Company complies with
accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is
computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Remeasurement associated
with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from income per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted
income (loss) per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii)
the private placement since the exercise of the dilutive warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. Additionally, the
private placement warrants are excluded from the calculation due to being not-in-the-money, therefore, anti-dilutive as of June 30, 2022.
The warrants are exercisable to purchase 17,500,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company
did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then
share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per ordinary shares is the same as basic net income (loss)
per ordinary share for the periods presented.
The following table reflects
the calculation of basic diluted net income (loss) per common share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that
potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times,
may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for warrant
liabilities (see Note 9).
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts
in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”
(“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under
current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope
exception, and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is
currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe
that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public
Offering, the Company sold 23,000,000 Units, which includes a full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount
of 3,000,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of
one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary
share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing
of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant
(for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000) from the Company in a private placement. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable
for one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). The proceeds from the sale of the Private
Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not
complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the
Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private
Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On September 8, 2020, the
Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering and formation costs of the Company in consideration for 5,750,000 shares of Class B
ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares subject to forfeiture
by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment was not exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares would
collectively represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As
a result of the underwriter’s election to fully exercise its over-allotment option, the 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject
to forfeiture.
The Sponsor has agreed, subject
to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the
completion of a Business Combination; and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A
ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y)
the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction
that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities
or other property.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into
an agreement commencing on January 25, 2021 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its
liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of up to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services.
On January 20, 2022, the Sponsor agreed to return to the Company $110,000 of prior payments made by the Company for office space and administrative
and support services. The return of these payments was recorded as a reduction of operating and formation costs in the Company’s
condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Sponsor has informed the Company
that it will continue to provide the Company with office space and administrative and support services, but that it will forego the $10,000
per month fee. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred $30,000 and $50,000, respectively, in fees for these
services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company did not incur any fees for these services.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On September 8, 2020, the
Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow
up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) June
30, 2021 or (i) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. As of January 28, 2021, $130,410 was outstanding under the Promissory
Note. On March 4, 2021, $130,410 was paid to the sponsor to reduce the balance of the Promissory Note to $0, and is no longer available
to be drawn on.
On March 10, 2022, the Company
issued a second unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Second Promissory Note”), to which the Company may borrow up
to an aggregate principal amount of $150,000. The Second Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payment on the earlier of (i) January
28, 2023 or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an initial business combination. As of June 30, 2022, $149,980 was outstanding
under the Second Promissory Note.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction
costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s directors
and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company
completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released
to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that
a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital
Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except to the extent described in the
preceding paragraph, the terms of such Working Capital Loans have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to
such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the
lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination
entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2022 and December
31, 2021, there were no Working Capital Loans outstanding.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration
rights agreement entered into on January 25, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may
be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private
Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares)
will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement requiring the Company to register such securities
for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities
will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In
addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent
to completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit
any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company
will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters are entitled
to a deferred fee of (i) 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the initial 20,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $7,000,000,
and (ii) 5.5% of the gross proceeds from the 3,000,000 Units sold pursuant to the underwriter’s full exercise of its IPO over-allotment
option, representing a total deferred fee of $8,650,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held
in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Legal Fees
As of June 30, 2022, the
Company had a total of $2,265,213 in deferred fees to be paid to the Company’s legal advisors upon consummation of the Business
Combination, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022.

Preference Shares
— The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share, with such designations,
voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At June 30,
2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.
Class A Ordinary
Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share.
Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 23,000,000
shares of Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding subject to possible redemption, which are presented as temporary equity.
Class B Ordinary
Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share.
Holders of the Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were
5,750,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
Holders of Class A ordinary
shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of the
Company’s shareholders except as otherwise required by law.
The Class B ordinary shares
will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment.
In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts
issued in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which the Class B ordinary shares
will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary
shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class
A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20%
of the sum of all ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary
shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked
securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in Business Combination.

NOTE 8. WARRANTS
Warrants —
Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants.
The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b)
12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the completion of a Business
Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company will not be obligated
to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public
Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable
upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating thereto is available, subject to the Company satisfying
its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable for
cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants,
unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising
holder, or an exemption is available.
The Company has agreed that as
soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the issuance, under the Securities Act, of the Class A
ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same
to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of a Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration
statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant
agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A ordinary shares are, at the time of any exercise of a warrant, not listed on
a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of
the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless
basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, the Company will not
be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify
the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Redemption of Warrants—
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:
| ● | in whole and not in part; |
|
● |
at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant; |
|
● |
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and |
|
● |
if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to warrant holders equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). |
If and when the warrants
become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying
securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
The exercise price and number
of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a
share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below,
the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event
will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within
the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any
of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside
of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company
issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing
of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue
price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance
to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable,
prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than
60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation
of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of its Class A ordinary shares
during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its Business Combination
(such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest
cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price
will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The Private Placement Warrants
are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants
and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable
or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private
Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable, except as described above, so long as they are held
by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial
purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders
on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s
financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with
the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the
use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions
about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities
based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
|
Level 1: |
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
|
Level 2: |
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
|
Level 3: |
Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
At June 30, 2022 and December
31, 2021, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $230,278,727 and $230,021,238, respectively, in money market funds which
are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury Securities. Through June 30, 2022, the Company has not withdrawn any of interest earned on
the Trust Account.

The Warrants were accounted
for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on our accompanying June 30, 2022 and December
31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheets. 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Public Warrants were
initially valued using a lattice model, specifically a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology. The Public
Warrants began trading 45 days after issuance. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Public Warrants were valued using the instrument’s
publicly listed trading price as of the consolidated balance sheet date, which is considered to be a Level 1 measurement due to the use
of an observable market quote in an active market.
The Private Placement Warrants
were valued using a lattice model, specifically a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology, which is considered
to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Placement
Warrants is the expected volatility of our ordinary shares. The expected volatility of the Company’s ordinary shares was determined
based on the implied volatility of the Public Warrants. The effective expiration date was determined based on the probability-weighted
average between a two-year life of the Private Warrants in the event a Business Combination does not occur and the contractual life if
a Business Combination is consummated.
The key inputs into the binomial
lattice model for the Warrants were as follows:

fair value of the Public Warrants was $6,900,000 when the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 fair value measurement to a Level
1 fair value measurement, which occurred on March 18, 2021 when the Public Warrants began trading on the open market. There were no transfers
among levels that occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred
after the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet date up to the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements were
issued. Based upon this evaluation, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustments or disclosure
in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
On July 8, 2022, the Company
issued a third unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Third Promissory Note”), to which the Company may borrow up
to an aggregate principal amount of $155,000. The Third Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payment on the earlier of (i) January
28, 2023 or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an initial business combination. On July 8, 2022 and August 10, 2022, the Company
made draws of $10,000 and $145,000, respectively.
