EXPLANATORY NOTE

RESTATEMENT

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment” or “Form 10-Q/A”) amends the CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II (“CFII,” now known as View, Inc. as of March 8, 2021, “View” or the “Company”) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 12, 2020 by the Company (the “Original Filing”). This Amendment restates the Company’s previously issued quarterly unaudited financial statements as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. See Note 3, Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for such restated information.

Restatement Background

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (‘SPACs’)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”), dated as of August 26, 2020, between CFII and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent. As a result of the SEC Statement, the Company reevaluated the accounting treatment of (i) the 16,666,637 redeemable warrants (the “Public Warrants”) that were included in the units issued by CFII in its initial blank-check public offering (the “IPO”) and (ii) the 366,666 redeemable warrants (together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) that were issued to CFII’s sponsor in a private placement that closed concurrently with the closing of the blank check IPO, and determined to classify the Warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.

On May 10, 2021, as discussed with WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”), CFII’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Non-Reliance Period (defined below), the Company’s management and audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) concluded that certain financial statements previously filed before consummation of the Company’s Business Combination (defined below), namely the quarterly unaudited financial statements as of and for the quarters ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020 (the “Non-Reliance Period”), should no longer be relied upon due to such change in the accounting for the Warrants.

Similarly, press releases, earnings releases, and investor presentations or other communications describing CFII’s consolidated financial statements and other related financial information covering the Non-Reliance Period should no longer be relied upon.

Impact of the Restatement

The change in accounting for the Warrants did not have any impact on CFII’s liquidity, cash flows, revenues or costs of operating its business and the other non-cash adjustments to the financial statements, in the Non-Reliance Period. The change in accounting for the Warrants does not impact the amounts previously reported for CFII’s cash and cash equivalents, investments held in trust account, operating expenses or total cash flows from operations for any of these periods.

The impact of these adjustments was an increase to net loss of $2,323,679 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, an increase to total liabilities of $32,943,941, a decrease in Class A common stock shares subject to possible redemption of $32,943,950 and an increase to total stockholders’ equity of $9 as of September 30, 2020.

See Note 3 to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Amendment for additional information on the restatement and the related financial statement effects.

Internal Control Considerations

In light of the restatement discussed above, the Company has reassessed the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting as of September 30, 2020, and has concluded that its remediation plan of its previously disclosed material weaknesses will be expanded to address this matter, so as to improve the process and controls in the determination of the appropriate accounting and classification of its financial instruments and key agreements. See additional information included in Part I, Item 4 “Controls and Procedures” of this Amendment for Internal Control Considerations.

Items Amended in this Form 10-Q/A

For the reasons discussed above, the Company is filing this Amendment to amend the following items in its Original Filing to reflect the adjustments discussed above and make corresponding revisions to its financial data cited elsewhere in this Amendment:

 

   

Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements.

   

Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

   

Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.

However, for the convenience of the reader, this Amendment sets forth the Original Filing in its entirety, as amended to reflect the restatement.

This Amendment speaks as of the filing date of the Original Filing and does not reflect events occurring after the filing date of the Original Filing other than as described herein.

Investors should rely only on the financial information and other disclosures regarding the restated periods in this Form 10-Q/A or in future filings with the SEC (as applicable), and not on any previously issued or filed reports, earnings releases or similar communications relating to the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), new certifications by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed herewith as exhibits to this Amendment pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) of the Exchange Act and Section 1350 of Chapter 63 of Title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C. 1350).

COMPANY BACKGROUND

The Company was incorporated on September 27, 2019 as a Delaware corporation under the name “CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II” and 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.

On March 8, 2021, the Company consummated a business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Merger Sub, and View Operating Corporation (formerly known as View, Inc.). As contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into View Operating Corporation, with View Operating Corporation continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly owned subsidiary of CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II. On March 8, 2021, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company changed its name to “View, Inc.”

The Company’s common stock and warrants are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “VIEW” and “VIEWW,” respectively. CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II’s units, common stock and warrants were historically quoted on Nasdaq under the symbols “CFIIU”, “CFII”, and “CFIIW”, respectively.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are sometimes accompanied by words such as “believe,” “continue,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “predict,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “outlook” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, including but not limited to: (i) risks that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of the Company and potential difficulties in Company employee retention as a result of the Business Combination, (ii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company related to the Merger Agreement or the Business Combination, (iii) the ability to maintain the listing of the Company’s stock on Nasdaq, (iv) volatility in the price of the Company’s securities, (v) changes in competitive and regulated industries in which the Company operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company’s business and changes in the combined capital structure, (vi) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, and identify and realize additional opportunities, (vii) the potential inability of the Company to increase its manufacturing capacity or to achieve efficiencies regarding its manufacturing process or other costs, (viii) the enforceability of the Company’s intellectual property, including its patents and the potential infringement on the intellectual property rights of others, (ix) the risk of downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive industry in which the Company operates, and (x) costs related to the Business Combination and the failure to realize anticipated benefits of the Business Combination or to realize estimated pro forma results and underlying assumptions. These risks and uncertainties may be amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused significant economic uncertainty. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, the registration statement on Form S-4, the registration statement on Form S-1 and other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and the Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. The Company does not give any assurance that it will achieve its expectations.

VIEW, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (As Restated)

Note 1—Description of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation

CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II (“CFII,” now known as View, Inc. as of March 8, 2021, “View” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on September 27, 2019. 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 in its search for target businesses to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search on companies operating in the financial services, healthcare, real estate services, technology and software industries. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had not commenced operations. All activity through September 30, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a target for 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 net gains on investments, dividends and interest income on U.S. Treasury Securities, investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. Treasury Securities, and cash from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The Company’s sponsor is CF Finance Holdings II, LLC (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 26, 2020. On August 31, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 50,000,000 units (each, a “Unit” and with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $500,000,000, which is described in Note 4. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and will expire 5 years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 7,500,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. The over-allotment option expired unexercised on October 10, 2020.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 1,100,000 Units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $11,000,000, which is described in Note 5.

Transaction costs amounted to approximately $10,600,000, consisting of $10,100,000 of underwriting fees and approximately $500,000 of other costs. In addition, approximately $500,000 of cash from the Initial Public Offering was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on August 31, 2020 and the concurrent sale of Private Placement Units, an amount of $500,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units (see Note 5) was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, which may be invested only 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 conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

Table of Contents

Initial Business Combination—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 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. 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 agreement to enter into 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.

The Company will provide the holders of the Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) 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 will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per Public Share). The per share amount to be distributed to public stockholders who redeem the Public Shares will not be reduced by the Marketing Fee (as defined below in Note 5). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and 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 “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder 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 stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination. 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 5), their shares underlying the Private Placement Units 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 any Public Shares held by the initial stockholders in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and Restated 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% or more of the Class A common stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors (the “initial stockholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

Failure to Consummate a Business Combination – The Company has until August 31, 2022 to consummate a Business Combination (or a later date approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by 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 interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (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 stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The initial stockholders 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 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. 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 less than $10.00 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 Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, 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.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of September 30, 2020 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form8-K and the final prospectus filed by the Company with the SEC on August 28, 2020 and September 4, 2020, respectively, as well as the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing, including any amendments to those filings.

As described in Note 3—Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements, the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, are being restated in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (Amendment No. 1) (this “Quarterly Report”) to correct the misapplication of accounting guidance related to the Company’s public and private warrants in the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The restated financial statements are indicated as “Restated” in the unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes, as applicable. See Note 3—Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements for further information.

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 auditor 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 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $405,000 in its operating bank account, and working capital of approximately $335,000.

The Company’s liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, the loan of approximately $185,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to the promissory note (the “Note”) (see Note 5), and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company fully repaid the Note as of August 31, 2020. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has committed up to $750,000 to be provided to the Company to fund the Company’s expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements after the Initial Public Offering and prior to the Company’s initial Business Combination (the “Sponsor Loan”). If the Sponsor Loan is insufficient, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 5). As of September 30, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under the Sponsor Loan or any Working Capital Loan.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective target businesses, 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 Business Combination.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements. 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. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Table of Contents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, and interests in certain money market funds regulated pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, to be cash equivalents. The Company had approximately $500 million and $0 in cash equivalents held in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

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 of $250,000, and cash equivalents held in the Trust Account. At September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 815 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in earnings. The fair value of the Public Warrants was initially and through September 30, 2020 measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model. From October 15, 2020, the Public Warrants have subsequently been measured based on the listed market price. The fair value of the Private Warrants has been estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton model since the initial measurement date. See Note 9 for further information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the carrying values of cash, cash equivalents held in Trust Account, accrued expenses, notes payable – related party, and franchise tax payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. See Note 9 for further information.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. A portion of such costs allocated to the issuance of the derivative warrant liabilities in conjunction with the Initial Public Offering were immediately expensed and the remaining amount was charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable shares of Class A common stock (including shares of Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2020, 46,239,142 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible

redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Table of Contents

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. To the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be recognized, a valuation allowance would be established to offset their benefit.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The Company provides for uncertain tax positions, based upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as provision for income taxes on the statement of operations.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 17,033,303, of the Company’s Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

The Company’s unaudited condensed statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per share for Class A common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted for shares of Class A common stock are calculated by dividing the gain on investments (net), dividends and interest earned on cash equivalents and investments held in the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes available to be withdrawn from the Trust Account by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the period. Net loss per share, basic and diluted for shares of Class B common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss, less income attributable to the shares of Class A common stock by the weighted average number of shares of Class B common stock outstanding for the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Note 3—Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

On April 12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. Since issuance in August, 2020, the Company’s warrants were accounted for as a component of stockholders’ equity within the Company’s previously reported balance sheets. The views expressed in the SEC Staff Statement were not consistent with the Company’s historical interpretation of the specific provisions within its warrant agreement and the Company’s application of ASC 815-40 to the warrant agreement.

 

15


Table of Contents

In May 2021, the Company reassessed its accounting for Warrants issued in August 2020, in light of the SEC Staff’s published views. and after discussion and evaluation management concluded that the warrants should be presented as liabilities measured at fair value upon issuance, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in the Condensed Statement of Operations at each reporting period. Therefore, the Company, in consultation with its Audit Committee, concluded that its previously issued Financial Statements for the quarters ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020 should be restated because of a misapplication in the guidance around accounting for certain of our outstanding warrants to purchase common stock (the “Warrants”) and should no longer be relied upon.

Since the Company classified the Public Warrants as derivative liabilities, offering costs totaling $651,349 that were previously allocated to the reported amount of the Public Warrants are now reflected as an expense in the Condensed Statement of Operations as general and administrative costs.

Impact of the Restatement

The Company corrected certain line items related to the previously audited balance sheet as of August 31, 2020 in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 4, 2020 related to the restatement. The following balance sheet items as of August 31, 2020 were impacted: an increase of $31.3 million in Derivative warrants liability, a decrease of $31.3 million in the amount of Class A common stock subject to redemption, an increase of $0.7 million in Additional paid-in capital and an increase of $0.7 million in Accumulated deficit.

The impact of the restatement on the balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 is presented below:

Note 4—Initial Public Offering

In the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 50,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, and one-third of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7). No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade.

Note 5—Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

In September 2019, the Sponsor purchased 11,500,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Class B common stock”) for an aggregate price of $25,000. On June 25, 2020, the Company effectuated a 1.3125-for-1 stock split. In August 2020, the Sponsor transferred 20,000 Founder Shares to Mr. Robert Hochberg, an independent director (none of which were subject to forfeiture in the event that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full). In addition, in August 2020, the Sponsor returned to the Company, at no cost, an aggregate of 718,750 Founder Shares, which were cancelled, resulting in an aggregate of 14,375,000 Founder Shares outstanding and held by the Sponsor. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock split and Founder Shares cancellation. Up to 1,875,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture if the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised in full. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the consummation of the Business Combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions (see Note 8).

On October 10, 2020, the 45-day over-allotment option expired unexercised and, as a result, 1,875,000 shares of Class B common stock were forfeited for no consideration by the Sponsor in order for it to maintain ownership of 20.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (excluding the Private Placement Units). Such forfeited shares were cancelled by the Company.

The initial stockholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) 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 least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) 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 stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement Units

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 1,100,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit ($11,000,000 in the aggregate). Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one warrant. Each whole warrant sold as part of the Private Placement Units is exercisable for one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share (“Private Warrant”). The proceeds from the Private Placement Units have been added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, Private Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Units until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Underwriter

There were two underwriters involved in the Initial Public Offering. One of them is an affiliate of the Sponsor (see Note 6).

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

The Company has engaged Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., an affiliate of the Sponsor, as an advisor in connection with the Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss the Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing the Company’s securities, assist the Company in obtaining stockholder 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 Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. a cash fee (the “Marketing Fee”) for such services upon the consummation of the Business Combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, and 5.5% of the gross proceeds from the full or partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination, the Sponsor has committed up to $750,000 in the Sponsor Loan to be provided to the Company to fund the Company’s expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements after the Initial Public Offering and prior to the Business Combination. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company had no outstanding amounts under the Sponsor Loan.

Prior to the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor agreed to make available to the Company, under the Note, up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company had no outstanding amounts under the Note.

If the $750,000 loan agreed to be funded by the Sponsor is insufficient to cover the working capital requirements of the Company, 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 Sponsor pays expenses on the Company’s behalf. The Company reimburses the Sponsor. The unpaid balance is included in Payables to related parties on the accompanying condensed balance sheets. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had accounts payable outstanding to Sponsor for such expenses paid on the Company’s behalf of approximately $32,000.

Note 6—Commitments and Contingencies

Registration and Shareholder Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on August 26, 2020, the holders of Founder Shares and Private Placement Units (and component securities) will be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Class A common stock). These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as representative of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering, a 45-day option to purchase up to 7,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On October 10, 2020, the 45-day over-allotment option expired unexercised.

The underwriters of the Initial Public Offering were paid a cash underwriting discount of $10,000,000.

The Company also engaged a qualified independent underwriter to participate in the preparation of the registration statement and exercise the usual standards of “due diligence” in respect thereto. The Company paid the independent underwriter a fee of $100,000 upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in consideration for its services and expenses as the qualified independent underwriter. The independent underwriter received no other compensation.

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 an 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.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

The Company has engaged Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. as an advisor in connection with the Business Combination. (see Note 5).

Note 7—Warrants

The Company issued 16,666,637 redeemable Public Warrants that were included in the units issued in its Initial Public Offering and 366,666 redeemable Private Warrants that were issued to the Company’s sponsor in a private placement that closed concurrently with the Initial Public Offering. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of  (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable

 

19


Table of Contents

upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Additionally, the Private Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company may redeem the Public Warrants (except with respect to the warrants included in the Private Placement Units):

 

   

in whole and not in part;

 

   

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 

   

at any time during the exercise period;

 

   

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;

 

   

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20-trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

 

   

if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such warrants.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis”, as described in the warrant agreement.

The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of 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 will expire worthless.

Note 8—Shareholders’ Equity

Class A Common Stock—The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of September 30, 2020, there were 4,860,858 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, excluding 46,239,142 shares subject to possible redemption. Class A common stock includes 1,100,000 shares included in the Private Placement Units. The shares of Class A common stock included in the Private Placement Units do not contain the same redemption feature contained in the shares sold in the Initial Public Offering.

Class B Common Stock—The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of September 30, 2020, there were 14,375,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding, of which an aggregate of up to 1,875,000 shares are subject to forfeiture to the Company by the Sponsor for no consideration to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the initial stockholders will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering (not including the Private Placement Units). On October 10, 2020, the 45-day over-allotment option expired unexercised and, as a result, 1,875,000 shares of Class B Common Stock were forfeited by the Sponsor. Such forfeited shares were cancelled by the Company.

Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, only holders of Class B common stock will have the right to vote on the election of directors. Holders of the Class A common stock will not be entitled to vote on the election of directors during such time. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as required by law.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of the Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Business Combination).

On June 25, 2020, the Sponsor effectuated a recapitalization of the Company, which included a 1.3125-for-1 stock split. In addition, in August 2020, the Sponsor returned to the Company, at no cost, an aggregate of 718,750 Founder Shares, which were cancelled resulting in an aggregate of 14,375,000 Founder Shares outstanding and held by the Sponsor (1,875,000 of which were subject to forfeiture as of September 30, 2020, if the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised in full).

Preferred stock—The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Note 9—Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

   

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 

21


Table of Contents
   

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

   

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020.

Level 1 instruments include investments in money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

The estimated fair value of the Private Warrants and the Public Warrants prior to being separately listed and traded, is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its Warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s trading activities of Warrants and from historical volatility of a group of peer companies’ common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The expected life of the Warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

Note 10—Subsequent Events

On October 10, 2020, upon the expiration of the 45-day period for the underwriters to exercise the over-allotment option and the underwriters not exercising the over-allotment option, 1,875,000 shares of Class B Common Stock were forfeited by the Sponsor in order for it to maintain ownership of 20.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (excluding private units held by the Sponsor). Such forfeited shares were cancelled by the Company. For additional information regarding the forfeiture of founder shares, see the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on October 16, 2020.

On March 8, 2021, the Company consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 30, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among CF II, PVMS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Legacy View, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Legacy View”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Company and Legacy View was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy View, with Legacy View surviving as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger” and collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). On March 8, 2021, the Company changed its name from CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II to View, Inc. and Legacy View changed its name to View Operating Corporation. For additional information about the Merger Agreement and Transactions, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021.

The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the unaudited condensed financial statements date through the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements are issued. Based upon this review, other than what is already disclosed, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been amended and restated to give effect to the restatement of our financial statements as more fully described in the Explanatory Note and in Note 3 to the Notes to Financial Statements, Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this amendment. For further detail regarding the restatement adjustments, see also Item 4 Controls and Procedures.

Overview

We are a blank check company formed on September 27, 2019 as a Delaware corporation 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 we are not limited in our search for target businesses to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating a Business Combination, we intend to focus our search on companies operating in the financial services, healthcare, real estate services, technology and software industries. We are an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. Our sponsor is CF Finance Holdings II, LLC (our “Sponsor”).

Our registration statement for our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on August 26, 2020. On August 31, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 50,000,000 units (each, a “Unit” and with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $500,000,000. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and will expire 5 years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. We granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 7,500,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. The over-allotment option expired unexercised on October 10, 2020.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 1,100,000 Units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $11,000,000 (the “Private Placement”). The proceeds of the Private Placement Units were deposited into the Trust Account and will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares subject to the requirements of applicable law.

Table of Contents

Transaction costs amounted to approximately $10,600,000, consisting of $10,100,000 of underwriting fees and approximately $500,000 of other costs. In addition, approximately $500,000 of cash from the Initial Public Offering was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on August 31, 2020, an aggregate of $500,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, which may be invested only 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 conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account. As of September 30, 2020, the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Units were held in cash and subsequently invested in a money market fund, as specified above.

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, or August 31, 2022 (or a later date approved by our stockholders in accordance with our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the “Combination Period”), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish our public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (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 our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception through September 30, 2020 related to our formation, the preparation for the Initial Public Offering, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of net gains on investments, dividends and interest income on U.S. Treasury Securities, investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. Treasury Securities and cash from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance and other purposes), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with our search for a Business Combination.

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of approximately ($2,392,970), of which ($2,323,679), respectively, is related to the change in the fair value of derivative warrant liability and issuance costs allocated to the public warrants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2020, we had approximately $405,000 in our operating bank account, and working capital of approximately $335,000.

Our liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from our Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, the loan of approximately $185,000 from our Sponsor pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”), and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. We fully repaid the Note as of August 31, 2020. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a

Business Combination, our Sponsor has committed to loan to us up to $750,000 to fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements after the Initial Public Offering and prior to our initial Business Combination (the “Sponsor Loan”). If the Sponsor Loan is insufficient, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us working capital loans. As of September 30, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under the Sponsor Loan or any working capital loan.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from our Sponsor to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective target businesses, 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 Business Combination.

We continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and our management has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the accompanying financial statements. The financial statements accompanying this report do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities.

Critical Accounting Policies

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company has identified the following as its critical accounting policies:

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable shares of Class A common stock (including shares of Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2020, 46,239,142 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the applicable periods. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 17,033,303 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

Table of Contents

Our unaudited condensed statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per share for shares subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted for shares of Class A common stock are calculated by dividing the interest income (loss) earned on cash equivalents and investments and held in the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes available to be withdrawn from the Trust Account, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the applicable period. Net loss per share, basic and diluted for shares of Class B common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss, less income attributable to Class A common stock by the weighted average number of shares of Class B common stock outstanding for the applicable period.

Derivative Warrant Liability

We account for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, we classified the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants was initially and through September 30, 2020 measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model. From October 15, 2020, the Public Warrants have subsequently been measured based on the listed market price. The fair value of the Private Warrants has been estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton model since the initial measurement date. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act, we are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

On April 12, 2021, the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued the “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In light of the SEC Staff Statement, on May 10, 2021, after discussion with WithumSmith+Brown, PC, our independent registered public accounting firm during the Non-Reliance Periods, our Audit Committee and management concluded that, it was appropriate to restate certain financial statements of CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II previously filed before consummation of our Business Combination, namely the quarterly unaudited financial statements for the quarters ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020 (the “Non-Reliance Periods”).

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020. On November 12, 2020, we filed our original audited Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 (the “Original Report”). Based upon their evaluation at that earlier time, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer had concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective. Subsequent to that evaluation, as a result of the material weakness described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In connection with the restatement discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements included herein, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer reevaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures relating to the Company’s method of accounting for certain warrants to purchase common stock of the Company. They concluded there was a material weakness in controls related to the classification and accounting for such warrants, which did not operate effectively to appropriately apply the correct accounting treatment.

Notwithstanding this material weakness, management has concluded that our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP for each of the periods presented herein.

To remediate the material weakness, the Company studied and clarified its understanding of the accounting of contracts that may be settled in the Company’s own stock, such as warrants, as equity of the entity or as an asset or liability as highlighted in the SEC Staff Statement and enhanced the accounting policy related to the accounting for such contracts to determine proper accounting in accordance with GAAP as clarified by the SEC Staff Statement. Finally, the Company restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020 upon completing its evaluation of the SEC Staff Statement. The Company plans to complete the remediation of the material weakness during the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting other than the changes described above related to the material weakness related to the accounting for certain of our warrants to purchase common stock of the company.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

Private Placement

On August 31, 2020, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated a private placement of an aggregate of 1,100,000 units (“Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $11,000,000. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one warrant. Each whole warrant sold as part of the Private Placement Units is exercisable for one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Units (except to certain permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. The warrants underlying the Private Placement Units are also not redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. In addition, for as long as the warrants underlying the Private Placement Units are held by the Sponsor, such warrants may not be exercised after five years from the effective date of the registration statement for the Initial Public Offering. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Use of Proceeds from the Initial Public Offering

On August 31, 2020, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 50,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share. The Units in the Initial Public Offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of approximately $500,000,000. Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“CF&Co.”) acted as sole book-running manager for the Initial Public Offering. The securities sold in the Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-241727). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on August 26, 2020.

We paid a total of $10,100,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and approximately $500,000 for other costs and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. In addition, we have engaged CF&Co. as an advisor in connection with our business combination, pursuant to a Business Combination Marketing Agreement. We will pay CF&Co. a cash fee for such services out of funds in the Trust Account upon the consummation of our initial business combination in an amount equal to $17,500,000, which is equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering. We also repaid the promissory note to our Sponsor from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering.

After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units was approximately $500,400,000, of which $500,000,000 (or $10.00 per unit sold in the Initial Public Offering) was placed in the Trust Account. As of September 30, 2020, approximately $405,000 was held outside the Trust Account and will be used to fund the Company’s operating expenses. The proceeds held in the Trust Account may be invested by the trustee only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act.
