The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest.

The Company’s fiscal year end it June 30.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, Private Placements, and the Over-Allotment, approximately $116.7 million ($10.15 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and of the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and is invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of 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 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, 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.
The Company’s management has broad discretion
with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants,
although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There
is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

The initial stockholders agreed to waive their
rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business
Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering,
they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete
a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission

Trust Account Redemptions and Extension of Combination Period
On June 2, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders at which such stockholders voted to extend the time the Company has to consummate an initial Business Combination from June 15, 2022 to December 15, 2022. In connection with such vote, the holders of an aggregate of 9,195,721 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for an aggregate of approximately $93,377,626 in cash held in the Trust Account.

An aggregate of 2,304,279 Public Shares were not redeemed in connection with the stockholder vote and accordingly, a total of $456,247, was deposited into the Trust account which was funded by the Sponsor's loans to the Company and zSpace's reimbursement.

Management has determined that the Company does not have sufficient funds and may need to borrow from its Sponsor to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the consummation of an initial Business Combination or for a minimum of one year from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. However, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without a business combination.
Risks and Uncertainties
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve. Management is continuing to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through June 30, 2023.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include its wholly owned subsidiary in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on September 28, 2022.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated 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.

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 does not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal
Depository Insurance Coverage limit of $
Investments Held in the Trust Account
The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in gain on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
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 consist of:
| ● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; |
| ● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| ● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting
fees and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable
financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received.
Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred and presented as non-operating expenses in the consolidated
statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Public Shares are charged against the carrying value of the shares of Class
A common stock subject to possible redemption. Of the total offering costs of the Initial Public Offering, approximately $
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
The warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) were recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815, through November 15, 2022, at which time they were classified in equity. The Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. The Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were initially measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model and a Black Scholes option pricing model, respectively. The fair value of Public Warrants were subsequently measured based on the listed market price of such warrants, until November 15, 2022. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants has subsequently been estimated using a Black Scholes option pricing model. The determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares and between non-redeemable and redeemable. The Company has revised its earnings per share calculation to allocate income and losses shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of shares share pro rata in the income and losses of the Company. Net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.
The calculation of diluted net income per common
stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (including exercise of the over-allotment
option) and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of
The following table reflects presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share for each class of common stock:

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A common stock
subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any)
is classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class
A common stock 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) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A common
stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights are considered
to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31,
2022 and June 30, 2022,
Under ASC 480, the Company has elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of the reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date of the security. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering (including exercise of the over-allotment option) the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.
Income Taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards updates, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statement.
Note 3 - Initial Public Offering
On December 15, 2020, the Company consummated

As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the
Company has an aggregate of
Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. 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 Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will 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. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use our best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsors or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsors or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for cash (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
| ● | in whole and not in part; |
| ● | at a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
| ● | upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and |
| ● | if, and only if, the reported closing price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing once the warrants become exercisable and ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
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.
In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of Public Warrants was transferred from a Level 1 measurement to a Level 2 measurement during the quarter ending September 30, 2022 due to low trading volume. There were no other transfers to/from levels for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
On November 15, 2022, with the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, resulting in the Company having a single class of outstanding voting stock, all of the outstanding Public Warrants were reclassified from derivative liability to equity.
The fair value of the Private Placement
Warrants are measured using a Black Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of Public Warrants were measured based on the listed market price of such warrants, a Level 1 measurement
when there existed quoted prices in active markets for the Public Warrants, and a Level 2 measurement when there existed quoted prices
in an inactive market. For the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized income resulting from a
decrease in the fair value of liabilities of approximately $
The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Black Scholes option pricing model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock warrants based on implied volatility from the listed price of the Company’s Public Warrants and from historical volatility of select peer company’s 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
Management has evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurring through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. The Company did not identify any subsequent event, other than described below, that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
On January 3, 2023, the Company received a notice (the “Nasdaq Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq stating that, as of December 27, 2022, the Company had failed to hold an annual meeting of its shareholders and therefore was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a). As a result, the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq has advised the Company that its securities would be subject to delisting unless the Company timely requests a hearing before an independent Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company intends to timely request a hearing. The hearing request will stay any suspension or delisting action pending the completion of the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. The Company held the required annual shareholder meeting on January 20, 2023 and as a result regained compliance with the Rule.
on January 9, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note
to the Sponsors, with a principal amount of $
On March 8, 2023, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company has failed to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 (the “Delinquent Report”).
The Notice stated that no later than May 8, 2023, the Company is required to submit a plan to regain compliance with respect to the filing of the Delinquent Report. If NASDAQ accepts the Company’s plan, it has the discretion to grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Delinquent Report (or until August 14, 2023) to regain compliance.
The Company is continuing to work diligently to complete the Delinquent Report. If the Company is unable to file the Delinquent Report by May 8, 2023, it intends to file a plan to regain compliance with NASDAQ. This notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's shares on NASDAQ. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the listing requirements discussed above or otherwise satisfy the other NASDAQ listing criteria.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Such statements include, but are not limited to, possible business combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on May 27, 2020 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”). Our sponsors are IBIS Capital Sponsor II LLC and IBIS Sponsor II EdtechX LLC, limited liability companies affiliated with certain of our officers and directors (the “Sponsors”).
The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering (“Initial Public Offering”) became effective on December 10, 2020. On December 15, 2020, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 units (the “Units”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $6.0 million, inclusive of $3.5 million in deferred underwriting commissions. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full and on December 17, 2020 purchased an additional 1,500,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of $15.0 million, and the Company incurred additional offering costs of $825,000 in underwriting fees, inclusive of $525,000 in deferred underwriting fees (the “Over-Allotment”).
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 5,000,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsors and MIHI LLC, an affiliate of Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. (“MIHI”), one of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering, generating proceeds of $5.0 million (Note 3). Simultaneously with the consummation of the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, the Sponsors, MIHI, and Jefferies LLC, the representative of the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering (“Jefferies”), purchased an additional 525,000 Private Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of an additional $525,000.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $101.5 million ($10.15 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and of the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will be invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of 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 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, 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. Upon the closing of the Over-Allotment on December 17, 2020, an aggregate of approximately $15.2 million of the additional net proceeds from the consummation of the Over-Allotment were placed in the Trust Account, for a total of approximately $116.7 million held in Trust Account. See “Trust Account Redemptions and Extension of Trust Liquidation Date” below for further description.
23
We will provide the holders (the “Public Stockholders”) of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Shares”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account. The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters.
If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or June 15, 2022, (the “Combination Period”) and our stockholders have not amended the Certificate of Incorporation to extend such 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 its taxes and working capital needs (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), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
Proposed Business Combination
On May 16, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, EXHAC Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”), EXHAC Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II”), and zSpace Inc., a Delaware corporation (“zSpace”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the parties will enter into a business combination transaction by which (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into zSpace, with zSpace being the surviving entity of the merger, and, after giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “First Merger”) and (ii) following the First Merger, zSpace will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Merger”), with Merger Sub II being the surviving company of the Second Merger (Merger Sub II, in its capacity as the surviving company of the Second Merger, the “Surviving zSpace”). Concurrently with the consummation of the First Merger, (i) the outstanding shares of common stock (“zSpace Stock”) and preferred stock of zSpace (“Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (“Effective Time”) will be converted into shares of Class A common stock, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and (ii) each in-the-money option of zSpace that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by the Company and will represent the right to acquire an adjusted number of shares of Class A common stock at an adjusted exercise price.
Further, following consummation of the Merger, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company’s board of directors will consist of seven members. the Company, through the Sponsors (as defined below), shall have the right to designate two directors, bSpace Investments Limited (“bSpace”) shall have the right to designate two directors and a non-director observer in bSpace’s discretion, and zSpace shall have the right to designate the remaining directors.
Upon consummation of the Merger, all outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock of zSpace will be exchanged for an aggregate of 13.1 million shares of Class A common stock.

As part of the aggregate consideration payable to zSpace’s securityholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement, certain holders of zSpace Stock will also have the right to receive their pro rata portion of (a) warrants exercisable for up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price of $11.50 per share and (b) up to an aggregate of 3,694,581 shares of Class A common stock (“Earnout Shares”) if, during the period beginning on the closing date of the Merger (the “Closing Date”) until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”), the following conditions (“Earnout Conditions”) are met:
| ● | One-third (1/3) of the Earnout Shares if (1) over any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period the dollar volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the shares of Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment) and (2) the Surviving zSpace, the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof consummates an Acquisition Transaction (defined below) after the Effective Time; |
| ● | One-third (1/3) of the Earnout Shares if either (1) over any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period the VWAP of the shares of Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 per share (subject to adjustment) or (2) the Surviving zSpace, the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof consummates a second Acquisition Transaction in addition to the Acquisition Transaction described above after the Effective Time; and |
| ● | One-third (1/3) of the Earnout Shares if either (1) over any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period the VWAP of the shares of Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $13.50 per share (subject to adjustment) or (2) consolidated revenues of the Company exceed $100,000,000 in any fiscal year (determined on a pro forma basis with respect to any acquisitions by the Company). |
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, “Acquisition Transaction” is defined as any transaction consummated after the time the First Merger becomes effective and approved by a majority of the non-employee directors on the Company’s board in which (I) the Surviving zSpace acquires either (a) equity interests that represent more than 50% of the total voting power of an entity or (b) all or substantially all of the assets of an entity and (II) such transaction is expected (in the good faith judgment of the non-employee directors and based upon the information available to such directors at the time they approve such transaction) to be synergistic with, or accretive to, the Company or the Surviving zSpace following consummation of the Merger.
The Merger is expected to be consummated following the receipt of required approval by the stockholders of the Company, required regulatory approvals, and the fulfilment of other customary closing conditions.
On September 8, 2022, Jefferies notified us that they would not act in any capacity in connection with the proposed Business Combination with zSpace and waived its entitlement to the deferred underwriters commissions solely with respect to the proposed Business Combination with zSpace.
Trust Account Redemptions and Extension of Combination Period
On June 2, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders at which such stockholders voted to extend the time the Company has to consummate an initial Business Combination from June 15, 2022 to December 15, 2022. In connection with such vote, the holders of an aggregate of 9,195,721 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for an aggregate of approximately $93,377,626 in cash held in the Trust Account. Additionally, upon shareholder approval of the extension, our Sponsors agreed that they or their affiliates would lend to the Company for every month of the extension that was needed to consummate a Business Combination the lesser of an aggregate of (i) $100,000 and (ii) $0.033 per share for each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the stockholder vote to be deposited by the Company into the Trust Account on or prior to the 15th day of each month during the extension period. An aggregate of 2,304,279 Public Shares were not redeemed in connection with this stockholder vote and accordingly, a total of $456,247 was deposited into the Trust account, which was funded by the Sponsor's loans to the Company and zSpace's reimbursement.
On December 13, 2022, the Company held another special meeting of stockholders at which such stockholders voted to extend the time by which the Company has to consummate an initial Business Combination from December 15, 2022 to June 15, 2023. In connection with such vote, public holders of an aggregate of 2,029,571 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem their Public Shares for an aggregate of $21,055,164 in cash, leaving an aggregate of 274,708 public shares outstanding. Additionally, the Company’s board of directors authorized management to take the steps necessary such that, if a Business Combination is subsequently consummated, then at the time of the Business Combination, the Company would issue a dividend to holders of Public Shares who did not seek redemption of their Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account. The Company’s board of directors authorized a dividend of an aggregate of 350,000 shares to be divided equally among each Public Share held of record on the day following the consummation of the Business Combination subject to a maximum dividend payable of 0.50 shares per public share. Accordingly, if the holders of the 274,708 Public Shares not submitted for redemption in connection with a Business Combination, they will be entitled to a dividend of 0.50 shares per public share (or an aggregate of 137,354 shares).

Results of Operations
Our entire activity from May 27, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2022, was in preparation for an Initial Public Offering, and since our Initial Public Offering, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.
For the three months ended December 31, 2022, we had net income of approximately $318,000, which consisted of approximately $281,000 in change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, approximately $195,000 in gain on investments held in Trust, and approximately $240,000 in franchise tax benefit offset by approximately $334,000 of general and administrative expenses, inclusive of $30,000 general administrative expense related party, and approximately $64,000 in income tax expense.
For the three months ended December 31, 2021, we had a loss of approximately $48,000, which consisted of approximately $222,000 of general and administrative expenses, inclusive of $25,000 general administrative expense related party, and approximately $50,000 of franchise tax expense offset by approximately $213,000 in change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and approximately $11,000 in gain on investments held in Trust.
For the six months ended December 31, 2022, we had net income of approximately $514,000, which consisted of approximately $615,000 in change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, approximately $310,000 in gain on investments held in Trust, and approximately $190,000 in franchise tax benefit offset by approximately $537,000 of general and administrative expenses, inclusive of $60,000 general administrative expense related party, and approximately $64,000 in income tax expense.
For the six months ended December 31, 2021, we had income of approximately $1.1 million, which consisted of approximately $1.5 million change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and approximately $29,000 gain on investments held in Trust Account offset by approximately $361,000 of general and administrative expenses, inclusive of $60,000 general administrative expense related party, and approximately $100,000 of franchise tax expense.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $16,000 in cash and a working capital deficit of approximately $0.9 million.
Prior to our Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs were satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain offering costs on our behalf in exchange for issuance of Founders Shares, and loan proceeds from the Sponsor of approximately $108,000 under the Note and fully repaid the Note on June 24, 2021. Subsequent to the repayment, the facility was no longer available to us. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, we have issued unsecured promissory notes to our Sponsor. See Note 4 for more details.
Management has determined that we do not have sufficient funds and may need to borrow from our Sponsor to fund our working capital needs until the consummation of an initial Business Combination or for a minimum of one year from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements. However, in connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” management has determined that our liquidity condition, mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern without a business combination.

Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On June 30, 2020, our Sponsors purchased 4,312,500 shares of our Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate price of $25,000. In December 2020, our Sponsor contributed an aggregate of 1,437,500 shares of Class B common stock to our Company for no consideration, resulting in a decrease in the total number of shares of Class B common stock outstanding from 4,312,500 to 2,875,000. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share contribution. In connection with the Initial Public Offering, our Sponsors contributed to our Company’s capital an aggregate of 40,000 Founder Shares and we issued a like number of shares to one of the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering - see “Private Placement” below. The initial stockholders agreed to forfeit up to 375,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of our issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On December 17, 2020, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 Units; thus, these 375,000 shares of Class B common stock were no longer subject to forfeiture. Subsequently, in March 2022, our Sponsors transferred 786,025 Founder Shares to A1 Capital Advisory Asia Limited for no consideration, and in May 2022, MIHI transferred 40,000 Founder Shares to our Sponsors for no consideration.
The initial stockholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the 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 reported closing 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 we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of our initial stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares.
On November 15, 2022, our Sponsors and A1 Capital Advisory Asia Limited respectively elected to convert all 2,875,000 outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock owned by them into an aggregate of 2,875,000 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Class B Common Stock.
Private Placement Warrants and Founder Shares
On December 15, 2020, our Sponsors, the underwriters and MIHI purchased an aggregate of 5,000,000 Private Placement Warrants, and 40,000 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.0 million in the Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Simultaneously with the consummation of the sale of the Over-Allotment Units on December 17, 2020, our Sponsors, MIHI, and Jefferies, the representative of the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering, purchased an additional 525,000 Private Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of an additional $525,000.
Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The Founder Shares are described above. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If we do not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.
The purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants (except to permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Related Party Loans
On June 30, 2020, our Sponsors agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $150,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. We borrowed approximately $108,000 under the Note and fully repaid the Note on June 24, 2021.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsors or an affiliate of our Sponsors, or our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. 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, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of December 31, 2022, we had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, we have issued unsecured promissory notes aggregating $674,960 and $250,000, respectively, in principal amount to our Sponsors. The promissory notes do not bear interest, are not convertible and are repayable in full upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. If we do not complete a Business Combination, the promissory notes will not be repaid and all amounts owed under such notes will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of the Trust Account.
Administrative Services Agreement
We entered into an agreement that provided that, commencing on the effective date of the offering prospectus and continuing until the earlier of our consummation of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation, to us agreed to pay the Sponsors a total of $10,000 per month for providing us with office space and certain office and secretarial services. For the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, $30,000 and $30,000 of these expenses were incurred, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, $60,000 and $60,000 of these expenses were incurred, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, we had prepaid $25,000 of such services, included in prepaid expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Our Sponsors, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsors, officers, directors or us or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
Contractual Obligations
Registration Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, (and the securities underlying such securities) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $2.0 million in the aggregate, which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. An additional fee of $0.35 per unit, or $3.5 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
28
Upon closing of the Over-allotment on December 17, 2020, the underwriters received approximately $300,000 in fees paid upfront and the underwriters are eligible for an additional deferred underwriting commissions of $525,000 totaling $4,025,000 deferred underwriting commissions.
On September 8, 2022, Jefferies notified us that it would not act in any capacity in connection with the proposed Business Combination with zSpace and waived its entitlement to the Deferred Discount solely with respect to the proposed Business Combination with zSpace under and pursuant to that certain Underwriting Agreement, dated December 10, 2020.
Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical, as these policies are the most important to the depiction of our condensed consolidated financial statements and require significant, difficult or complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Such policies are summarized in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 28, 2022. There have been no significant changes in the application of our critical accounting policies during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2022, 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 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, the condensed consolidated 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 consolidated 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
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2022, because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. 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. Specifically, the Company’s management has concluded that our control around the interpretation and accounting for certain complex features of the Company’s Class A common stock and warrants issued by the Company, and the accounting for certain prepaid general and administrative services was not effectively designed or maintained. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have implemented remediation steps to address the material weakness and to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we expanded and improved our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals. The material weakness has not been fully remediated as of December 31, 2022.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

On December 17, 2020, we consummated the sale of such units generating additional gross proceeds of $15,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the sale of the units pursuant to the over-allotment option, the Sponsors, MIHI LLC, and Jefferies LLC, the representative of the underwriters in the IPO, purchased an additional 525,000 Private Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of an additional $525,000.
