(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations
Breeze Holdings Acquisition Corp. (the “Company") is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on June 11, 2020. 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”).
The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, the Initial Public Offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and, after the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company 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 interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and from changes in the fair value of its warrant liability.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on November 23, 2020. On November 25, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on November 25, 2020, an amount of $
Transaction costs incurred in connection with the Initial Public Offering amounted to $
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete an initial Business Combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least
| 7 |
The Company will provide its 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 stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $
The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $
If the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s 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 seeking redemption rights with respect to
The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (b) to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and (c) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem
The Company held a meeting of its stockholders on March 22, 2023 where the Company’s stockholders approved (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s A&R COI to authorize the Company to extend the date of March 26, 2023, up to six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time (ultimately until as late as September 26, 2023), and (ii) a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to authorize the Extension and its implementation by the Company.
The Company held a meeting of its stockholders on September 22, 2023 where the Company’s stockholders approved (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s A&R COI to authorize the Company to extend the date of September 26, 2023, up to nine (9) times for an additional one (1) month each time (ultimately until as late as June 26, 2024), and (ii) a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to authorize the Extension and its implementation by the Company. On September 27, 2023, October 25, 2023, November 27, 2023, December 27, 2023, January 26, 2024, February 27, 2024, March 26, 2024, May 7, 2024 and June 3, 2024 Breeze executed the thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first one-month extensions through June 26, 2024.
| 8 |
The Company held a meeting of its stockholders on June 21, 2024 where the Company’s stockholders approved (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s A&R COI to authorize the Company to extend the date of December 26, 2024, up to six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time (ultimately until as late as December 26, 2024), and (ii) a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to authorize the Extension and its implementation by the Company. On June 26, 2024 Breeze executed the twenty-second one-month extensions through July 26, 2024. On August 1, 2024 Breeze executed the twenty-third one-month extension through August 26, 2024. If the Company executes all six (6) extensions, up to December 26, 2024 and has not completed a business combination, the Company may hold a meeting of its stockholders to approve (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s A&R COI to authorize the Company an extension for a designated time, and (ii) a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to authorize the Extension and its implementation by the Company.
If
the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination
Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose
of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but 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 its tax
obligations (less up to $
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party 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 to below (1) $
On October 31, 2022, Breeze entered into the Original Merger Agreement, by and among Breeze, BH Velocity Merger Sub, Inc. (“Company Merger Sub”), and TV Ammo, Inc., an advanced technology manufacturing and licensing company focused on revolutionizing the global ammunition and weapons industry through the introduction of its composite-cased ammunition, innovative weapons systems and advanced manufacturing technology (“TV Ammo”). On February 14, 2024, Breeze entered into an Amended and Restated Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “A&R Merger Agreement”), by and among Breeze, True Velocity, Inc. ("True Velocity"), Breeze Merger Sub, Inc. ("Parent Merger Sub"), Company Merger Sub, and TV Ammo, which amended and restated the Original Merger Agreement in its entirety.
On August 5, 2024, the A&R Merger Agreement was terminated by written notice from TV Ammo. As a result of the termination, the Company is no longer pursuing a business Combination with TV Ammo.
Going Concern
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $
The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through proceeds of $
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a business combination or obtain Working Capital Loans will be successful or successful within the Combination Period.
| 9 |
We believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. If we are unable to complete our business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. The Company's business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination and the Company's cash and working capital as of June 30, 2024 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities. These conditions raise a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Risks and uncertainties
With rising tensions around the world based on the current conflict between Israel and Hamas and the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia, we may be unable to complete a business combination if concerns related to this and other potential conflicts impact global capital markets, the ability to transfer money, currency exchange rates, cyber attacks and infrastructure including power generation and transmission, communications, and travel. Escalating conflicts could also have an impact on global demands for health care, international trade including vendor supply chains, and energy. In addition, there have been recent threats to infrastructure and equipment including cyber attacks, physical facility destruction and equipment destruction. The outcome of these conflicts or their impact cannot be predicted and may have an adverse impact in a material way on our ability to consummate a business combination, or to operate a target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Inflation Reduction Act”) was signed into law, which, among other things, imposes a
On March 29, 2023, the Company redeemed
We may maintain cash balances at third-party financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) insurance limit. The FDIC took control and was appointed receiver of Silicon Valley Bank and New York Signature Bank on March 10, 2023 and March 12, 2023, respectively. The Company does not have any direct exposure to Silicon Valley Bank or New York Signature Bank. However, if other banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability to access our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the period ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on April 25, 2024. The financial information as of December 31, 2023 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the period ended December 31, 2023. The interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the period ending December 31, 2024 or for any future interim periods.
Emerging growth company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned and controlled operating subsidiaries, True Velocity, Parent Merger Sub, and Company Merger Sub. From the inception of each operating subsidiary through June 30, 2024, the subsidiaries had no activity.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are recorded as charges to additional paid-in capital and, if necessary, accumulated deficit.

Warrant Liabilities
The Company evaluated the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (collectively, “Warrants”, see Note 7) in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, and concluded that a provision in the warrant agreement related to certain tender or exchange offers precludes the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value at inception (on the date of the Initial Public Offering) and at each reporting date thereafter in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”), with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period of change.
Income taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements 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 included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740-270 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement’s 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. There were
The Company believes its calculation to be a reliable estimate an allows it to properly take into account the usual elements that can impact its annualized book income and its impact on the effective tax rate. As such, the Company is computing its taxable income (loss) and associated income tax provision based on actual results through June 30, 2024 and does not use the annual effective tax rate (AETR) method.
Net income (loss) per share
Net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. As the Public Shares are considered to be redeemable at fair value, and a redemption at fair value does not amount to a distribution different than other shareholders, redeemable and non-redeemable shares of common stock are presented as one class of shares in calculating net income (loss) per share of common stock. As a result, the calculated net income (loss) per share is the same for redeemable and non-redeemable shares of common stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did

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 Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The carrying amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for cash, prepaid expenses and accrued offering costs approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
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 – Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 – Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.
See Note 9 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Recent accounting pronouncements
On December 14, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB or Board) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09). The ASU focuses on income tax disclosures around effective tax rates and cash income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 (generally, calendar year 2025) and effective for all other business entities one year later. Entities should adopt this guidance on a prospective basis, though retrospective application is permitted. The Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its financial statement disclosures.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Registration and Stockholder Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights and stockholder agreement entered into on November 23, 2020, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration and stockholder rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to the Company’s common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. In the case of the private placement warrants and representative shares issued to I-Bankers Securities, the demand registration rights provided will not be exercisable for longer than five years from the effective date of the registration statement in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(C) and the piggyback registration right provided will not be exercisable for longer than seven years from the effective date of the registration statement in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D).

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration.
| 19 |
The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of our initial business combination, it will use our reasonable best efforts to file, and within 60 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, to have declared effective, a registration statement relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if our common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies 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, but will use its best efforts to qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the company may call the warrants for redemption:
|
• |
in whole and not in part; |
|
• |
at a price of $ |
|
• |
upon not less than |
|
• |
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $ |
The Company may not redeem the warrants when a holder may not exercise such warrants.
In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our initial business combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $
The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to the company, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder.
| 20 |
The Private Placement Warrants (including the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until
If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, then the proceeds will be part of the liquidating distributions to the public stockholders and the Warrants issued to the Sponsor and I-Bankers Securities will expire worthless.
The warrant liabilities were initially measured at fair value upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period using a Modified Black-Scholes model. The Public Warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to its fair value. The Company recognized a loss in connection with changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $

Rights — Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a Right will automatically receive one-twentieth () of a share of common stock upon consummation of the Business Combination, even if the holder of a Right converted all shares held by him, her or it in connection with the Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation with respect to its pre-business combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of the Business Combination, each holder of a Right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its Rights in order to receive the one-twentieth () of a share of common stock underlying each Right upon consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of Rights in order to receive his, her or its additional share of common stock upon consummation of the Business Combination. The shares issuable upon exchange of the Rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company). If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of Rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of shares of common stock will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into common stock basis.
| 21 |
The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of Rights. As a result, the holders of the Rights must hold Rights in multiples of 20 in order to receive shares for all of the holders’ Rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the required time period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Rights, and the Rights will expire worthless. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights.

The Company utilized a back-solve lattice model for the initial valuation of the Public Warrants. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants as of June 30, 2024 was based on the back-solve lattice model combined with the last public traded value on May 24, 2024 and classified as Level 3 as a result of not being publicly traded, and for December 31, 2023, classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker BREZW. The imputed price and quoted price of the Public Warrants were $
The Company utilizes a Modified Black-Scholes model to value the Private Placement Warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement warrant liability is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a binomial options pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. 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 probability of completing the business combination is derived by taking a sample of other special purpose acquisition companies and calculating the implied probability of completion for each company in the sample set. The average and 1st and 3rd quartiles of the implied probability of completion then formulates the basis for the probability utilized for the Company in the models. 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 to remain at zero.
The aforementioned warrant liabilities are not subject to qualified hedge accounting.

Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 11, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our business combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
As indicated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $39,970 and $4,228 in cash, respectively, and a working capital deficit of $9,523,707 and $7,849,292, respectively (excluding prepaid income taxes, prepaid franchise taxes and excise tax payable). We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial business combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from June 11, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2024 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account, and changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had a net income of $17,103,566 which consisted of a gain of $17,476,250 in the fair value of warrant liabilities and operating costs of $537,407 offset by interest income of $170,987 on our Trust Account.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $4,912,173, which consisted of a loss of $3,656,250 in the fair value of warrant liabilities and operating costs of $1,584,448, offset by interest income of $340,567 on our Trust Account.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $1,510,300, which consisted of a loss of $1,354,000 in the fair value of warrant liabilities, interest income on the Trust Account of $152,184, partially offset by operating and formation costs of $303,335.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $2,164,561, which consisted of a loss of $1,184,750 in the fair value of warrant liabilities, and interest income on the Trust Account of $220,511, partially offset by operating and formation costs of $1,193,464.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On November 25, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (including 1,500,000 units from the full exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option), generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 5,425,000 private placement warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $5,425,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the private placement warrants, a total of $116,725,000 was placed in the trust account. We incurred $4,099,907 in transaction costs, including $2,300,000 of underwriting fees, $1,322,350 of representative share offering costs, and $477,557 of other offering costs.
As of June 30, 2024, we had cash held in an interest-bearing trust account of $39,970.
On December 20, 2022, January 25, 2023 and February 23, 2023 Breeze executed the fourth, fifth and sixth one-month extensions through March 26, 2023. The Company held a meeting of its stockholders on March 22, 2023 where the Company’s stockholders approved (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s A&R COI to authorize the Company to extend the date of March 26, 2023, up to six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time (ultimately until as late as September 26, 2023), and (ii) a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to authorize the Extension and its implementation by the Company. On March 29, 2023, Breeze executed the seventh one-month extension through April 26, 2023. On April 25, 2023, May 25, 2023, and June 26, 2023 Breeze executed the eighth, ninth and tenth one-month extensions through July 26, 2023.

The Company held a meeting of its stockholders
on June 21, 2024 where the Company’s stockholders approved (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s A&R COI to authorize the Company to extend the date
of June 26, 2024, up to six (6) times for an additional one
(1) month each time (ultimately until as late as December 26, 2024), and
(ii) a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to authorize the Extension and its
implementation by the Company. On June 26, 2024 and August 1. 2024, Breeze executed the twenty-second and twenty-third one-month extensions through August 26, 2024. If the Company executes all six (6) extensions,
up to December 26, 2024 and has not completed a business combination, the
Company may hold a meeting of its stockholders to approve (i) a proposal
to amend the Company’s A&R COI to authorize the Company an extension for a
designated time, and (ii) a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to authorize
the Extension and its implementation by the Company.
As of June 30, 2024, we had cash held in the trust account of $10,380,257, including $340,567 of interest. Interest income on the balance in the trust account may be used by us to pay taxes. On May 10, 2022, $109,000 was withdrawn from the Trust Account for payment of franchise and income taxes, on September 8, 2022, $122,247 was withdrawn from the Trust Account for payment of franchise and income taxes, on September 27, 2023, $209,650 was withdrawn of interest income from the Trust Account for payment of franchise and income taxes, and on June 24, 2024, $59,000 of interest income was withdrawn from the Trust Account for payment of franchise and income taxes.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $1,222,258 which was due to a net loss of $4,912,173, a non-cash decrease in fair value of warrant liabilities of $3,656,250, interest income of $340,567 on the Trust Account, and a decrease in working capital of $374,232. For the same period cash provided by investing activities was $2,937,839 which was due to an investment of cash in the Trust Account of $202,873 a redemption of common stock of $3,081,712, and a withdrawal of $59,000 to pay for franchise and income taxes, and net cash used in financing activities was $1,679,839 which was due to proceeds from working capital loans and a promissory note from Sponsor of $1,199,000 and $202,873 respectively, and a redemption of common stock of $3,081,712.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $1,053,129 which was due to net loss of $2,164,561, primarily offset by a non-cash increase in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1,184,750, interest of $220,511 on the Trust Account, and a decrease in working capital of $147,193. For the same period cash provided by investing activities was $5,112,348 which was due to investment in the Trust Account of $283,581, a redemption of common stock of $5,395,929, and net cash used in financing activities was $4,070,164 which was due to proceeds from a related party working capital loan of $1,083,500 and proceeds from a related party promissory note of $242,265 and, a redemption of common stock of $5,395,929.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (less deferred underwriting commissions and income taxes payable), to complete our business combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $39,970 and $4,228, respectively, in cash held outside the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $9,523,707 and $7,849,292, respectively (excluding prepaid income taxes, prepaid franchise taxes and excise tax payable).
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the initial stockholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the private placement warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. However, all working capital promissory notes specifically state that the Sponsor has elected not to covert. The terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.
On November 19, 2021, the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $1,150,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from November 25, 2021 to February 25, 2022. This unsecured promissory note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or (ii) December 26, 2024.
On February 1, 2022, the Company signed a Promissory Note with Sponsor, with a Maturity Date of March 26, 2023, for a total of up to $1,500,000. On October 1, 2022, the Company signed an Amended Promissory Note with Sponsor, with a Maturity Date of September 26, 2023 for a total of up to $4,000,000. On April 1, 2023, the Company signed an Amended Promissory Note with Sponsor, with a Maturity Date of September 26, 2023 for a total of up to $5,000,000. On October 1, 2023, the Company signed an Amended Promissory Note with Sponsor, with a Maturity Date of June 26, 2024 for a total of up to $6,000,000. On March 1, 2024, the Company signed an Amended Promissory Note with Sponsor, with a Maturity Date of June 26, 2024 for a total of up to $7,000,000. On July 1, 2024, the Company signed an Amended Promissory Note with Sponsor, with a Maturity Date of December 26, 2024 for a total of up to $7,500,000. As of June 30, 2024, the amount outstanding under this working capital loan was $5,811,109 for direct working capital, and $926,698 for monthly SPAC extension funds for the months of September 2022 through June 2024 for a total of $6,737,807 from Sponsor. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or (ii) December 26, 2024.
On February 18, 2022, the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $1,150,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from February 25, 2022 to May 25, 2022. This unsecured promissory note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or (ii) December 26, 2024.
Going Concern
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $39,970 in cash held outside of the Trust Account and negative working capital of $9,523,707, excluding prepaid income taxes, prepaid franchise taxes and excise tax payable.
The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through proceeds of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares, and a loan of $300,000 under an unsecured and non-interest bearing promissory note (see Note 5). Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied from the net proceeds from the private placement held outside of the Trust Account.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through a business combination. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a business combination or obtain Working Capital Loans will be successful or successful within the Combination Period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. If we are unable to complete our business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. The Company's business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination and the Company's cash and working capital as of June 30, 2024 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities. These conditions raise a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Contractual Obligations
On November 19, 2021, the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $1,150,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from November 25, 2021 to February 25, 2022.

| 28 |
On February 18, 2022, the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $1,150,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from February 25, 2022 to May 25, 2022.

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay Breeze Financial, Inc. a monthly fee of $5,000 for office space, administrative and support services to the Company.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.275 per share based on 11,500,000 shares issued in the IPO, or $3,162,500 in the aggregate. 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.
On February 29, 2024, the Company signed a Public Relations Agreement with Gateway Group, Inc., for public relations services for a business combination. The agreement includes an obligation to pay a Transaction Success Fee of $20,000 upon the successful completion of a business combination.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We base our estimates on our own historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable after taking account of our circumstances and expectations for the future based on available information. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The critical accounting estimates, assumptions, judgements and the related policies that we believe have the most significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements are described below
Warrant Liabilities
In determining the fair value of the Company’s Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants our third party valuation firm uses the most observable inputs available. The valuation approach for our Public Warrants utilizes a back-solve lattice model and for our Private Placement Warrants uses a Modified Black-Scholes model. Some of the inputs used in the models include the dividend yield on the Company’s common stock, expected common stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected business combination date and probability of completing the business combination. Several of these inputs are known and several use judgements. For instance, the probability of completing the business combination is derived by taking a sample of other special purpose acquisition companies and calculating the implied probability of completion for each company in the sample set. The average and 1st and 3rd quartiles of the implied probability of completion then formulates the basis for the probability utilized for the Company in the models. Changes in any or all of these estimates and assumptions, or the relationships between these assumptions, impact the Company’s valuation of its Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as of each valuation date and may have a material impact on the valuation of these warrants.
Recent Accounting Standards

a detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies and related
judgements, see Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who serves as our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2024, because of the identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company determined that it failed to accurately prepare its income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2023. The control deficiencies related to the preparation, reviews and accounting of the Company's income tax provision and related expense represents a material weakness related to financial reporting.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
