NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Organization and Business Operation
Keyarch Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”)
was incorporated in Cayman Islands on April 23, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock
exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business
Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination,
the Company intends to focus its search on global disruptive technology and innovative services companies. However, the Company’s
Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation provides that it shall not undertake its initial Business Combination with
any entity that is based in, located in or with its principal business operations in China (including Hong Kong and Macau). The Company
is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had
not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 23, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2022, relates
to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“IPO”) described below, and following the IPO, the search
for a target to consummate a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of
its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash
and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s sponsor is Keyarch Global
Sponsor Limited, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
Financing
The registration statement for the Company’s
IPO was declared effective on January 24, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). On January 27, 2022, the Company consummated
the IPO of 10,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being
offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the
Company consummated the sale of 500,000 private placement units (“Private Placement Units”) (450,000 Private Placement Units
purchased by the Sponsor and 50,000 Private Placement Units purchased by EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., the representative of the underwriters
of the IPO (“EarlyBirdCapital”)) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000,
in a private placement.
On February 8, 2022, the underwriters purchased
an additional 1,500,000 Units by exercising its over-allotment option in full at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross
proceeds of $15,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the full exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company completed the
private sale of an aggregate of 45,000 Private Placement Units (40,500 Private Placement Units purchased by the Sponsor and 4,500 Private
Placement Units purchased by EarlyBirdCapital) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $450,000.
Offering
costs amounted to $3,471,734 consisting of $2,300,000 of underwriting discount and $1,171,734 of other offering costs. During the
nine month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company received discount amounting to $131,420 on outstanding offering costs included
within accounts payable and accrued expenses. This has been treated as a reversal of offering costs.
As of September 30, 2022, cash of $255,200
was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for the payment of offering costs and for working capital purposes.
Trust Account
Following the closing of the IPO and the sale
of over-allotment units, an aggregate of $116,150,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds and the sale of the Private Placement Units
was held in a Trust Account (“Trust Account”), and will invest only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set
forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting
certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury
obligations. Except with respect to income earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay income
tax obligations, the proceeds from the IPO will not be released from the Trust Account until the earlier of the completion of a Business
Combination or the Company’s liquidation.
The Company’s management has broad discretion
with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Units, 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.
Business Combination
The Company must complete one or more initial
Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable
on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the definitive agreement for the initial Business Combination. However, the Company
will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).
The Company will provide the holders of its outstanding
Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (“Class A ordinary shares”), sold in the IPO (the “public 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,
solely in its discretion, subject to applicable law. The public shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro
rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.10 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be
distributed to public shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the cash fee payable to EarlyBirdCapital for
services performed in connection with the initial Business Combination (as discussed in Note 6). In such case, the Company will proceed
with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination
and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the
Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and
Restated Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles 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, shareholder approval of the transactions is required
by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in
conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each
public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.
If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial shareholders (as defined below) have
agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of
a Business Combination.
Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, the
Company adopted an insider trading policy which requires insiders to: (i) refrain from purchasing shares during certain blackout
periods and when they are in possession of any material non-public information and (ii) to clear all trades with the Company’s
legal counsel prior to execution. In addition, the initial shareholders 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and
Restated Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation 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% or more of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the IPO, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors
(the “initial shareholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of
Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company
does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A
ordinary shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
Liquidation
If the Company is unable to complete a Business
Combination by July 27, 2023 (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the
purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public
Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including income earned
on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes, 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 liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably
possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board
of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for
claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The initial shareholders have agreed to waive
their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination
Period. However, if the initial shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the IPO, 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. EarlyBirdCapital has agreed to waive its rights to the cash fee payable to EarlyBirdCapital for services performed in connection
with the initial Business Combination (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business
Combination within in 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) could be less than $10.10
per share initially held in the Trust Account. 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 vendor 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, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account.
This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim
of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of
the IPO 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, 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.
Going Concern and Management Liquidity Plans
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
the Company had cash of $255,200 and $9,168, respectively and working capital/(deficit) of $298,683 and ($918,810), respectively. The
Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the IPO had been satisfied through proceeds from notes payable and advances
from related party and from the issuance of ordinary shares. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, the Company expects that it will
need additional capital to satisfy its liquidity needs beyond the net proceeds from the consummation of the IPO and the proceeds held
outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective business combination candidates,
performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with
or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Initial Business Combination. Although certain of the Company’s initial
shareholders, officers and directors or their affiliates have committed to loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time, in
whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive such funds.
Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements has been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern
and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statement does not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant
costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans. Management plans to address this uncertainty during period leading up to the
Initial Business Combination. The Company cannot provide any assurance that its plans to raise capital or to consummate an Initial Business
Combination will be successful. Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will not have sufficient working capital
and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or one year
from this filing. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management is currently evaluating the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic 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 financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
In the beginning of February 2022, the Russian
Federation and Belarus commenced a military action against 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. The impact of this action and related
sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these financial statements.
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”)
and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements as of September 30, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and Article 8
of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the period ending December 31, 2022, or any future period.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the
Jumpstart the Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various
reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited
to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure
obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding
a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS
Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies
(that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered
under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company
can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but
any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that
when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging
growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison
of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth
company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting
standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed financial
statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
expenses during the reporting period.
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 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments
with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents
as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Investments Held in Trust Account
The Company’s portfolio of investments held
in the Trust Account is comprised of investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a
readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities
is included in income earned on investment held in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values
of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Offering Costs
Offering
costs were $3,471,734 consisting principally of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet
date that are related to the IPO and are charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. The Company complies with
the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A – “Expenses of
Offering”. The Company allocates offering costs between the Public Shares, Public Warrants (as defined below in Note 3) and
Public Rights (as defined below in Note 3) based on the relative fair values of the Public Shares, Public Warrants and Public Rights.
Accordingly, $3,105,119 was allocated to the Public Shares and charged to temporary equity, and $366,615 was allocated to Public Warrants
and Public Rights and charged to shareholders’ equity. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company
received discount amounting to $131,420 on outstanding offering cost included within accounts payable and accrued expenses. This has been
treated as reversal of offering cost adjusted through additional paid-in capital considering the related offering cost charged against
additional paid-in capital at the time of IPO.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and
liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” approximates the carrying
amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified
or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance
in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC
480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding
financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants
meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s
own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside
of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional
judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all
of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance.
For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded
as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair
value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject
to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is
measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either
within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s
control) 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, as of September 30, 2022, 11,500,000 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption
are presented at redemption value of $10.10 per share (plus any income earned on investment held in Trust Account) as temporary equity,
outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. 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. The Company allocates gross proceeds between the Public Shares, Public Warrants and Public Rights
based on the relative fair values of the Public Shares, Public Warrants and Public Rights.
At September 30, 2022, the ordinary shares
reflected in the condensed balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company received discount amounting to $131,420 on outstanding offering cost included
within accounts payable and accrued expenses. This has been treated as reversal of offering cost adjusted through additional paid-in
capital considering the related offering cost charged against additional paid-in capital at the time of IPO. This reversal
of offering cost has been proportionately allocated to redeemable shares based on the fair value of Public Shares leading to a corresponding
decrease in carrying value by $117,542 to arrive at the redemption value of Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption. |
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal
depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At September 30, 2022, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management
believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Net Income/(Loss) Per Share
The
Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net
income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income
(loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total
net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) rateably based on the weighted average number
of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the
ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. As of September 30, 2022,
the Company did not have any dilutive securities and 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 loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the
period presented.
The net income (loss) per share presented in the
condensed statement of operations is based on the following:

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. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized.
FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, prescribes
a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained
upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company’s
management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company is not currently aware of
any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals, or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject
to tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. There is currently no taxation imposed by the Government of the Cayman
Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are
not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized
tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
There is currently no taxation imposed by the
Government of the Cayman Islands. The Company has no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income
taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the
Company’s financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect
on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.
Note 3 – Initial Public Offering
On January 27, 2022, the Company sold 10,000,000
Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, one-half of one redeemable warrant
(“Public Warrant”) and one right (“Public Right”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one
Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Ten Public Rights will entitle the holder to one Class A
ordinary share at the closing of the Business Combination.
On February 8, 2022, the underwriters purchased
an additional 1,500,000 Units to exercise its over-allotment option in full at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds
of $15,000,000.
The warrants will become exercisable 30 days
after the completion of the initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business
Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation (see Note 7).
Note 4 - Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the
Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital purchased an aggregate of 500,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit
(450,000 Private Placement Units purchased by the Sponsor and 50,000 Private Placement Units purchased by EarlyBirdCapital), for an aggregate
purchase price of $5,000,000, in a private placement. Each whole Private Placement Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share,
one-half of one warrant (the “Private Warrant”) and one right (the “Private Rights”). On February 8, 2022,
the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option and the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 45,000 Private
Placement Units (40,500 Private Placement Units purchased by the Sponsor and 4,500 Private Placement Units purchased by EarlyBirdCapital)
at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $450,000. Certain of the proceeds from the Private Placement
Units were added to the proceeds from the IPO 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 Units 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 Units will expire worthless.
Note 5 - Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On June 27, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000,
to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 2,875,000 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001
(the “Founder Shares”). Up to 375,000 Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which
the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised. On February 8, 2022, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option
in full, hence, the 375,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture since then.
The initial shareholders have agreed, subject
to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earliest to occur of: (A) 180 days
after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital
stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their
ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
EBC Founder Shares
On August 12, 2021, the Company issued to
EarlyBirdCapital and/or its designees 200,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “EBC Founder Shares”) at a price of $0.0001
per share. The Company estimated the fair value of the EBC Founder Shares to be $1,800 based upon the price of the founder shares issued
to the Sponsor. The holders of the EBC Founder Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion
of a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have agreed (i) to waive their conversion rights (or right to participate in
any tender offer) with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) to waive their
rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination
within the Combination Period.
The EBC Founder Shares have been deemed compensation
by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration
statement related to the IPO pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not
be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities
by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statements related to the IPO,
nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective
date of the registration statements related to the IPO except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the IPO and their
officers or partners, associated persons or affiliates.
Related Party Loans and Due to Affiliate
On June 16, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan
the Company an aggregate of up to $150,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”).
This loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2022, or the completion of the IPO. During the month of
September 2021, the Sponsor transferred the outstanding sponsor line of credit of $15,625 to Keywise Capital Management (HK) Limited
(the “Affiliate”). Prior to July 6, 2021, the Sponsor had an arrangement with the Affiliate regarding payment to be made
by the Affiliate for certain costs of the Company on behalf of the Sponsor which will be adjusted with the Note. However, once the bank
account of the Sponsor and the Company was open, the Affiliate agreed with the Sponsor and the Company that such amount will be paid directly
to them.
On October 4, 2021, the Sponsor funded $150,000
to the Company pursuant to the promissory note executed by the Company on June 16, 2021. The note was paid in full on January 27,
2022.
Further, during the period up to December 31,
2021, the Affiliate paid for the offering costs and other general and administration expenses of $368,227. The Company settled the amount
due to affiliates with the IPO proceeds. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $10,000 outstanding as due to Affiliate for monthly
administrative and support services as per agreement defined below.
In addition, 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.
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. The Working Capital Loans
would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5
million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit.
The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of September 30, 2022, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
Administrative Services
The Company intends to pay the Sponsor a fee of
approximately $10,000 per month following the consummation of the IPO until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination
or liquidation for office and administrative support services. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company
incurred $30,000 and $80,000 respectively for administrative and support services.
Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies
Risk and Uncertainties
Management is currently evaluating the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect
on the Company’s future financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, there has not been a significant
impact as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the future outcome of this uncertainty
Registration Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement
Units and Units that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, are entitled to registration rights (in the case
of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to Class A ordinary shares) pursuant to a registration rights agreement
signed on January 24, 2022. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However,
the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act
to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear
the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriters Agreement
The underwriters had a 45-day option beginning
January 24, 2022, to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting
discounts and commissions. On February 8, 2022, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full and purchased an additional
1,500,000 units at $10.00 per unit.
On January 27, 2022, the Company paid a fixed
underwriting discount of $2,000,000 and on February 8, 2022, it paid an additional $300,000 of underwriting fees arising from the
sale of the over-allotment units.
Business Combination Marketing
Agreement
The Company has engaged EarlyBirdCapital as an
advisor in connection with a Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its shareholders to discuss the potential
Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing
the Company’s securities in connection with a Business Combination, assist the Company in obtaining shareholder approval for the
Business Combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The
Company will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of a Business Combination in an amount equal to 3.5%
of the gross proceeds of IPO (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable). In addition, the Company may
engage EarlyBirdCapital as an advisor in connection with introducing a target business to us. If we engage EarlyBirdCapital and it introduces
us to the target business with whom we complete our initial Business Combination, EarlyBirdCapital will receive a cash fee equal to 1%
of the total consideration payable in the initial Business Combination.
Note 7 - Shareholder’s Equity
Preferred
shares -The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preferred shares 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31,
2021, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding.
Ordinary Shares
Class A
Ordinary Shares - The Company is authorized to issue 180,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of
$0.0001 per share. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 745,000 and 200,000 Class A ordinary shares issued
or outstanding, excluding 11,500,000 and no shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.
Class B
Ordinary Shares -The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001
per share. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
Of the 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares, an aggregate of up to 375,000 shares are subject to forfeiture to the Company for no consideration
to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the initial shareholders
will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the IPO. On February 8, 2022, the underwriter
exercised its over-allotment option in full, hence, the 375,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture since then.
Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B
ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders except as required by law.
The Class B ordinary shares will automatically
convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment
for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
Warrants
Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share commencing 30 days after the completion of its initial Business Combination and
expiring five years from after the completion of an initial Business Combination. No fractional warrant will be issued and only whole
warrants will trade.
In addition, if (x) we issue additional ordinary
shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our initial 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 our board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to our Sponsor, initial shareholders or
their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by them 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 our initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of our initial Business Combination (net
of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of our Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day
period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which we consummate our initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market
Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to
115% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the Newly Issued Price and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price
described below under “Redemption” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of (i) the
Market Value or (ii) the Newly Issued Price.
The Company may redeem the warrants at a price
of $0.01 per warrant upon 30 days’ notice, only in the event that the last sale price of the ordinary shares is at least $18.00
per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption
is given, provided there is an effective registration statement and current prospectus in effect with respect to the ordinary shares underlying
such warrants during the 30 day redemption period. If a registration statement is not effective within 60 days following the consummation
of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period
when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis in accordance
with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to register
or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Note 8 – 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.
The following table presents information about
the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy
of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Note 9 - Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through
November 8, 2022, which was the date these financial statements were available for issuance
and determined that there were no significant unrecognized events through that date.
