a warrant for purchase of one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 at any time prior to December 31, 2028 (the “Non-Redemption Warrants” and such program the “Non-Redemption Incentive Program”). The Non-Redemption Warrants would include an anti-dilution feature wherein the exercise price will be adjusted on the second anniversary of closing a Business Combination (the “Adjusted Date”) to the lower of $10.00 or the volume weighted average of the Company’s common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the Adjustment Date. On March 28, 2023, the Company completed the issuance of 1,591,537 Non-Redemption Warrants to the holders of record of all the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on March 21, 2023 (the “Record Date”) in the amount of one Non-Redemption Warrant for each share of common stock held as of the Record Date (Note 6).

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 Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts 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 the initial Business Combination. However, the Company only intends to complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction 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 sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

The Company provides the holders (the “Public Stockholders”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Shares”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders are entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (anticipated to be approximately $10.05 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting and advisory fees the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

If the Company seeks stockholder approval, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem the Public Shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder 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 prior consent of the Company. The holders of the Founder Shares (the “initial stockholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to

stockholder’s rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination  by December 31,2023 (the “Combination Period”) and the Company’s stockholders have not amended the Certificate of Incorporation to extend such 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 ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The initial stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting and advisory fees (see Note 5) 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 other 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 residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.05. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.05 per Public Share or (ii) the 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 the trust assets, in each case net of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that 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”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, our 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 registered public accounting firm), 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.

Risks and Uncertainties

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve. Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited financial statements. The unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited financial statements.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

Going Concern

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $679,414 in its operating bank account, $666,538 of working capital deficiency. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $16,505,866 of securities held in the Trust Account which will be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem the Company’s common stock in connection therewith.

The Company has principally financed its operations from inception using proceeds from the sale of its equity securities to its shareholders prior to the Initial Public Offering and such amount of proceeds from the Private Placement that were placed in an account outside of the Trust Account for working capital purposes. Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. Management believes that it will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet the Company’s needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing, however, there is a risk that the Company’s liquidity may not be sufficient.

The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to (other than as described above), loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) ASC Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” the Company has until December 31, 2023, to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain whether the Company will 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, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through approximately one year from the date these unaudited financial statements were issued. Management intends to consummate a Business Combination prior to December 31, 2023. These unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements 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 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been 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 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 9, 2023, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2022 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future interim periods.

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 of 2002, 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 an emerging growth 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 an 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 unaudited financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that 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 unaudited financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. 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 unaudited financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Table of Contents

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Income or loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding during the period. Income and losses are allocated to redeemable and non-redeemable common stock based on weighted-average shares outstanding. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase common stock in the calculation of diluted net loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of net loss per share of common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of loss per share. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any other dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common shares and then share in the net income of the Company. As a result, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the periods presented. Remeasurement adjustments on redeemable common stock are not considered in the calculation because redemption value closely approximates fair value.

​

​

Concentration of Credit Risk

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The valuation hierarchy is composed of three levels. The classification within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels within the valuation hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 – Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

10

Table of Contents

Level 2 – Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 – Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s marketable securities held in trust of $16,505,866 as of March 31, 2023, and $16,331,249 as of December 31, 2022 are deemed cash and cash equivalents which are considered level 1 classified. There were no transfers to and from Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the period ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering and were allocated to temporary equity or stockholders’ deficit upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were $21,881,745. The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1.

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 ASC 480 and 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 common 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.

ASC 480-10-S99 addresses concerns raised by the SEC regarding the financial statement classification and measurement of securities subject to mandatory redemption requirements or whose redemption is outside the control of the issuer. If the stock subject to mandatory redemption provisions represents the only shares in the reporting entity, it must report instruments in the liabilities section of its statement of financial position. The Company must then present them as shares subject to mandatory redemption, so as to distinguish the instruments from other financial statement liabilities. The Company concludes that the Company’s Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants do not exhibit any of the above characteristics and, therefore are outside the scope of ASC 480.

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 of 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. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were issued in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant will be recorded as equity. The Company, therefore, accounts for its outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as equity-classified instruments.

The Company concludes that the Company's Non-Redemption Warrants are liability-classified instruments. However, the fair value of the warrants was determined to be de minimis, as discussed further in Note 6, and as such no adjustment has been made to the financial statements.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements 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. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s deferred tax asset was offset by a 100% valuation allowance.

11

Table of Contents

The Company’s effective tax rate was 53.25% and 0.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months and three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, due to the non-deductibility of Business Combination costs and changes in the valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset.

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

While ASC 740 identifies usage of an effective annual tax rate for purposes of an interim provision, it does allow for estimating individual elements in the current period if they are significant, unusual, or infrequent. Computing the effective tax rate for the Company is complicated due to the potential impact of the timing of any Business Combination expenses and the actual interest income that will be recognized during the year. The Company has taken a position as to the calculation of income tax expense in a current period based on ASC 740-270-25-3 which states, “If an entity is unable to estimate part of its ordinary income (or loss) or the related tax (benefit) but is otherwise able to make a reasonable estimate, the tax (or benefit) applicable to the item that cannot be estimated shall be reported in the interim period in which the item is reported.” The Company believes its calculation to be a reliable estimate and allows it to properly take into account the usual elements that can impact its annualized book income and its impact on the effective tax rate. As such, the Company is computing its taxable income (loss) and associated income tax provision based on actual results through March 31, 2023.

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

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 $679,414 and $837,692 in cash and no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

As of the date of this quarterly report, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in investments in money market funds. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not withdraw any amount from the Trust Account to pay taxes. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company withdrew $648,594 from the Trust Account to pay taxes and withdrew $186,626,233 in connection with the redemption of shares.

Table of Contents

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Shares of common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock 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, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity deficit. The Company’s common stock represented by Public 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, common stock subject to possible redemption was presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the common stock subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded accretion of $174,617 and $1,957,482, which represents the interest earned on the Trust Account net of allowable withdrawals for tax purposes and dissolutions expenses (set at a maximum of $100,000).

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the adjustments of the value of common stock reflected in the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

​

​

Note 3 — Public Offering

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 20,000,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and one-half of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.

Twelve anchor investors, none of whom is affiliated with any member of our management team, purchased an aggregate of 19,480,000 of the units sold in the Initial Public Offering. Further, each such anchor investor purchased a pro-rata portion of 1,229,799 Founder Shares (defined below) from MB Equity, LLC, an affiliate of Bradley Bostic, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, and Travis Morgan, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and a director, at a price of $0.0058 per share.

The Company has determined the excess fair value of the Founder Shares sold to the anchor investors to be $8,163,891. To estimate the fair value, management considered the probability and timing of IPO completion, business combination completion, and an appropriate discount for lack of marketability, all Level 3 Inputs under ASC 820. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A and was charged to common stock subject to possible redemption upon completion of the Initial Public Offering. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5T, a capital contribution from the founders was recorded in additional paid-in capital.

The underwriter did not exercise their overallotment option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units within the 45 day limit. Management determined the fair value of this option to be immaterial, therefore, the unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the expiration of the overallotment option.

Founder Shares

On March 3, 2021, entities affiliated with our executive officers acquired 4,312,500 founder shares, up to 562,500 of which were subject to forfeiture (the “Founder Shares”), for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. Prior to the initial investment in the Company of $25,000 by its founders, the Company had no assets, tangible, or intangible. On July 16, 2021, the Company issued an additional 1,437,500 Founder Shares to the Sponsor, up to 187,500 of which were subject to forfeiture, in exchange for $8,333 in cash. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated in the period from February 25, 2021 (Inception) through September 30, 2021 to reflect the additional Founder Shares. A total of 750,000 Founder Shares were forfeited by the Sponsor and affiliated entities upon the expiration of the Underwriter’s Overallotment option on October 24, 2021.

The Company’s initial stockholders, officers and directors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any Founder Shares held by them until the earlier to occur of: (1) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination; and (2) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property or (y) if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at the initial Business Combination. Any permitted transferees would be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares (the “Lock-up”).

On March 23, 2021, the Sponsor sold an aggregate of 38,814 Founder Shares to directors at a price of $0.0058 per share. The Company determined the excess fair value over consideration paid for the Founder Shares transferred to be $46,288 as of the grant date. To estimate the fair value, management considered the probability and timing of IPO completion, business combination completion, and an appropriate discount for lack of marketability, all Level 3 Inputs under ASC 820.

The sale of Founder Shares to members of the Company’s board of directors is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Founder Shares were effectively sold or transferred subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founder Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. A business combination is not probable until it is completed. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable in an amount equal to the number of Founder Shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founder Shares. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, a Business Combination had not yet been completed, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized.

Related Party Loans

Future Health ESG Associates 1, LLC agreed to loan the Company up to $250,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to two promissory notes dated March 4, 2021 and August 24, 2021. These notes were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2022 and the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed a total of $250,000 prior to the Initial Public Offering, and subsequently repaid the full balance after the closing of the Initial Public Offering. There was no outstanding balance on the notes as of the date of this report.

Private Placement Warrants

On September 9, 2021, the Company entered into Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreements for the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 7,375,000 warrants to its initial stockholders and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co (such warrants, collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for gross proceeds to the Company of up to $7,375,000. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to the Private Placement. The Private Placement was conducted as a non-public transaction pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act”).

14

Table of Contents

The purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants (except to permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Working Capital 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 officers and directors 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. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $2,000,000 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. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. To date, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans), are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that we 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.

Business Combination and Related Agreements

On June 13, 2022, the Company entered into several agreements relating to the acquisition of Excelera. All agreements with and relating to the acquisition of Excelera (collectively, the “Excelera Business Combination Agreements”) were subsequently terminated and are of no further force or effect.

Underwriting Agreement and Advisory Fees

The Company paid an underwriting discount of 2.0% of the per Unit offering price to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, with an additional fee of 4.5% of the gross offering proceeds payable only upon the Company’s completion of its Initial Business Combination, of which $8,700,000 will be paid to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co and $300,000 will be paid to Roth Capital Partners, LLC, an independent financial advisor to the Company (the “Original Underwriting Agreement”). On June 13, 2022, the Company and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co entered into an amendment to the Original Underwriting Agreement, exclusively with respect to closing a Business Combination with Excelera, whereby Cantor will accept 272,727 unrestricted shares of common stock (the “Deferred Stock Consideration”) in exchange for reducing the cash portion of deferred underwriting fees to $5,700,000. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a reduction of accrued underwriting fees and a decrease in accumulated deficit by $302,730 to reflect the difference between the fair value of the Deferred Stock Consideration at June 30,2022, as compared to the $3,000,000 deferred underwriting fees expected to be satisfied by issuance of the Stock Consideration rather than cash. Effective October 31, 2022, the amendment to the Original Underwriting Agreement was terminated in conjunction with termination of the Excelera Business Combination Agreements.

Special Warrant Agreement

15

Table of Contents

On March 28, 2023, the Company completed the issuance of 1,591,537 warrants (the "Non-Redemption Warrants") to the public holders of record of the Company’s common stock as of the record date of March 21, 2023. In connection with such issuance, the Company entered into a Special Warrant Agreement with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company pursuant to which each Non-Redemption Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share following the closing of the Company’s initial business combination and prior to December 31, 2028. The Non-Redemption Warrants include an antidilution feature wherein the exercise price will be adjusted on the second anniversary of closing the Company’s initial business combination (the “Adjustment Date”) to the lower of $10.00 or the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the Adjustment Date (See Note 6). The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the 1,591,537 Non-Redemption Warrants attributable to the stockholders to be $133 or less than $0.01 per share. As such, management has concluded that the fair value of the Non-Redemption Warrants is de minimis and therefore no adjustment has been made to the financial statements.

Note 6 — Stockholders’ Deficit

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $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. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock — On January 31, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders to approve an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, from 500,000,000 to 26,000,000. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 6,591,537 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, of which 1,591,537 were redeemable common stock. Redeemable common stock shares are classified as temporary equity and are excluded from total stockholders’ deficit. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 5,000,000 outstanding shares of common stock are non-redeemable Founder Shares and are included in total stockholders’ deficit.

Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants were issued upon separation of the Units (which occurred on December 9, 2021) and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination. The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable after the closing of its initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If, at any time beginning on the 61st business day after the closing of our initial business combination, the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the public warrants are not covered by an effective registration statement, the holders of the public warrants will be entitled to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis. However, no public 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 from registration is available.

Both Public and Private Warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if, in connection with an initial business combination, (x) the Company issues additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share (with such issue price or effective issue price as determined in good faith by the 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 the Business Combination on the date of the consummation of such Business Combination (net of redemptions) and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that (i) they will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) they may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of the initial

16

Table of Contents

Business Combination, (iii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, (iv) they are subject to registration rights and (v) Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. has agreed that it shall have the right to exercise the Private Placement Warrants until, and shall forfeit to us for cancellation any Private Placement Warrants held by it on, the date that is five years after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(A).

Redemption of public warrants: Once the public warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding public warrants for cash (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

The Company will not redeem the warrants for cash as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. Any such exercise would not be on a cashless basis and would require the exercising warrant holder to pay the exercise price for each warrant being exercised.

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Non-Redemption Warrants — The Non-Redemption Warrants have an exercise price of $10.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Non-Redemption Warrants may (i) be exercised by the Holder on a cashless basis, (ii) only be exercised for a whole number of shares, (iii) not be redeemed by the Company, and (iv) be transferred subject to certain conditions. The Non-Redemption Warrants may only be exercised during the period commencing on the date that is thirty (30) days after the consummation by the Company of a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”) and terminating on December 31, 2028. The shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Non-Redemption Warrants are expected to be registered on a registration statement on Form S-4 the Company intends to file with the SEC in connection with its initial business combination.

From the proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement, an aggregate of $201,000,000 was placed into a trust account for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders to fund redemptions of the shares of common stock held by the Company’s public stockholders (the “Trust Account”), to be invested in U.S. government 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 180 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 requirements of Rule 2(a)(7) of the Investment Company Act, until the earlier of (i) the consummation of a business combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account.

Transaction costs amounted to $21,881,745, including $9,000,000 in deferred underwriting and advisory fees payable, $4,019,555 in upfront underwriting fees, $8,163,891 in offering costs allocated to anchor investors, and $698,299 in other offering costs related to the IPO.

On June 13, 2022, the Company entered into a business combination agreement with Excelera DCE, Inc., which was subsequently terminated on October 31, 2022.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we earned net loss of $103,814, which consisted of operating costs of $248,412 and provision for income taxes of $36,071, offset by interest income on our cash balance of $6,052 and net gains on marketable securities held in our trust account of $174,617.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred a net loss of $152,562, which consisted of operating costs of $170,284, partially offset by interest income on our cash balance of $1,318 and net gains on marketable securities held in our operating and trust accounts of $16,404.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On September 9, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $200,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the Private Placement of 7,375,000 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,375,000.

Following the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, $201,000,000 ($10.05 per redeemable share sold in the IPO) was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $21,881,745 in transaction costs, including $9,000,000 in deferred underwriting and advisory fees payable, $4,019,555 in upfront underwriting fees, $8,163,891 in offering costs allocated to the fair value of the common shares sold to anchor investors by certain related parties, and $698,299 of other offering costs related to the IPO.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $158,278, comprised of a net loss of $103,814, gain on marketable securities (net), dividends and interest held in Trust Account of $174,617 and $120,153 in cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $316,895, comprised of a net loss of $152,562, gain on marketable securities (net), dividends and interest held in Trust Account of $16,404, and $147,929 in cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities.

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $16,505,866. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting and advisory fees payable and income and franchise taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, any remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

19

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash of $679,414. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, 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 a Business Combination.

Future Health ESG Associates 1, LLC loaned us $250,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to two promissory notes dated March 4, 2021 and August 24, 2021. These notes were non-interest bearing and repaid in full after the closing of the IPO on September 14, 2021.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor, or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of March 31, 2023, no amount had been borrowed from the Sponsor, officers, or directors.

We may be required to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business, identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence, and negotiating a Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Going Concern

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $679,414 in its operating bank account and $666,538 of working capital deficiency. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $16,505,866 of securities held in the Trust Account which will be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem the Company’s common stock in connection therewith.

The Company has principally financed its operations from inception using proceeds from the sale of its equity securities to its shareholders prior to the Initial Public Offering and such amount of proceeds from the Private Placement that were placed in an account outside of the Trust Account for working capital purposes. Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. Management believes that it will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet the Company’s needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing, however, there is a risk that the Company’s liquidity may not be sufficient.

The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to (other than as described above), loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) ASC Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” the Company has until December 31, 2023, to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain whether the Company will 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

20

Table of Contents

subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through approximately one year from the date these financial statements were issued. Management intends to consummate a Business Combination prior to December 31, 2023. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets, or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2023. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than described below.

The underwriter of the IPO was paid $4,019,555 in underwriting discount and expense reimbursement upon the closing of the IPO. An additional $6,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees will be due to the underwriter only upon the closing of an Initial Business Combination. Included in this amount is a financial advisory fee of $300,000 that will be payable to Roth Capital Partners, LLC only upon the closing of an Initial Business Combination. In an Amendment to the Underwriting Agreement executed on June 13, 2022, the underwriter agreed to reduce the deferred underwriting fees payable in cash in exchange for issuance of 272,727 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the closing of an Initial Business Combination with Excelera DCE, Inc. On October 31, 2022, the Amendment to the Underwriting Agreement was terminated in connection with termination of the Excelera Business Combination Agreements.

The Company has entered into capital markets advisory agreements with multiple advisors pursuant to which fees will be paid in an aggregate amount of up to 2% of the cash retained from the trust account (net of redemptions) plus any gross proceeds raised in a financing relating to an Initial Business Combination. The capital markets advisory fees are contingent on both the consummation and the specific terms of an Initial Business Combination, neither of which can be reasonably predicted at this time. Accordingly, no accrual has been made for these arrangements in the unaudited financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company’s management has reviewed all estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements and has determined that none reflect both a significant level of estimation uncertainty and a reasonable likelihood of material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
