All activity through March 31, 2023, relates to the Company’s organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering and identifying a target company for the Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO.

Business Combination Agreement
On December 5, 2022, EDOC Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted corporation (together with its successors, “Edoc”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Australian Oilseeds Investments Pty Ltd., an Australian proprietary company (the “AOI”), Australian Oilseeds Holdings Limited, upon execution of a joinder agreement to become party to the Business Combination Agreement (a “Joinder”), a to-be-formed Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pubco”), AOI Merger Sub, upon execution of a Joinder, a to-be-formed Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”), American Physicians LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser Representative”), in the capacity as the Purchaser Representative thereunder, Gary Seaton, in his capacity as the representative for the Sellers (as defined below) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Seller Representative”) and each of the holders of AOI’s outstanding capital shares named on Annex I thereto (the “Primary Sellers”), as amended from time to time to include subsequent parties that execute and deliver to Edoc, Pubco and AOI a Joinder (the “Joining Sellers”), and the holders of AOI’s outstanding capital shares who are bound by the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement pursuant the drag-along rights set forth in AOI’s memorandum and articles of association (the “Drag-Along Sellers”, and collectively with the Joining Sellers, the “Sellers”).
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”), (a) Edoc will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Edoc continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), and with holders of Edoc securities receiving substantially identical securities of Pubco, and (b) immediately prior to the Merger, Pubco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of AOI (the “Purchased Shares”) from the Sellers in exchange for ordinary shares of Pubco, with AOI becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Share Exchange”, and together with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Transactions”).
The total consideration to be paid by Pubco to the Sellers for the Purchased Shares shall be an aggregate number of Pubco ordinary shares (the “Exchange Shares”) with an aggregate value (the “Exchange Consideration”) equal to, without duplication, (i) $190,000,000, plus (or minus if negative) (ii) AOI’s net working capital less a target net working capital of $4,000,000, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of any outstanding indebtedness, net of cash and cash equivalents, of AOI and its subsidiaries, and minus (iv) the amount of any unpaid transaction expenses of AOI, with each Pubco ordinary share to be issued to the Sellers valued at $10.00.
On March 31, 2023, the Company, AOI, Pubco, Merger
Sub, and the Purchaser Representative entered into that certain First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “First
Amendment”), pursuant to which the Business Combination Agreement was amended to add, as a closing condition, that upon the closing
of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Company shall have cash and cash equivalents, including funds

Risks and Uncertainties
Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine war on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus and the war could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these interim unaudited condensed financial statements. The interim unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might results from the outcome of these uncertainties.

On February 14, 2023, the Company issued a non-interest-bearing promissory note in the aggregate amount of up to $256,313 to the Sponsor. As of March 31, 2023, $85,438 was drawn on the note.
Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB’s”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs as well as complete a Business Combination by August 12, 2023 then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These interim unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 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 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on January 24, 2023, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto.
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 shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging the 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 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.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts or mutual fund accounts in a financial institution, which, at times,
may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage limit of $
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with US 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 during the reporting period and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these unaudited condensed financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities as well as the fair value of the convertible notes. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Investment Held in Trust Account
As of March 31, 2023, all of the assets held in the
Trust account were held in cash. As of December 31, 2022, substantially all of assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market
funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. During the period January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, the Company did
not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations. On November 9, 2021, the Sponsor requested that the
Company extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from November 12, 2021 to February 12, 2022 (the
“First Extension”). The First Extension was the first of up to two three-month extensions permitted under the Company’s
governing documents. On November 10, 2021, $
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets.
Convertible Promissory Note
The Company accounts for its convertible promissory note under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Under 815-15-25, the election can be at the inception of a financial instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825. The Company has made such election for its convertible promissory note. Using fair value option, the convertible promissory note is required to be recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the note are recognized as non-cash change in the fair value of the convertible promissory note in the statements of operations. The fair value of the conversion feature of the note was valued utilizing the Monte Carlo model.
Derivative warrant liabilities
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 share purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. 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.

Net Loss Per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for each of the periods. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s unaudited condensed financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman federal income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s interim condensed financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. As a smaller reporting company, ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.

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.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares 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 Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus is current. No warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will not be obligated to issue Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A ordinary shares issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A ordinary shares underlying such unit.
The Company may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the private warrants, and any outstanding Representative’s Warrants, and any warrants underlying units issued to the Sponsor, initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates in payment of Working Capital Loans made to the Company), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:
If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” If the management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.
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-tenth (1/10) of a share of Class A ordinary shares upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, even if the holder of a right converted all shares held by him, her or it in connection with the initial Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s memorandum and articles of association with respect to its pre-business combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of the initial Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of a share of Class A ordinary shares 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 Class A ordinary shares upon consummation of an initial 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 share of Class A ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into Class A ordinary shares basis.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 – Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets and liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, due to the short maturities of such instruments.

There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the period ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Level 1 instruments include investments in money markets and Treasury securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.
Warrant Liability
The Private Warrants and Representative’s Warrants are accounted for as liabilities pursuant to ASC 815-40 and are measured at fair value as of each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of the Warrants are recorded in the statements of operations each period.
The Private Warrants and Representative’s Warrants were valued using a Montel Carlo simulation model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. Inherent in an options pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary shares based on historical volatility 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 to remain at zero.
There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the period ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on August 20, 2020 as a Cayman Islands corporation and formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements with, or engaging in any other similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). We consummated our initial public offering on November 12, 2020 and are currently in the process of locating suitable targets for our Business Combination. We intend to use the cash proceeds from our Public Offering and the Private Placement described below as well as additional issuances, if any, of our capital shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt to complete the Business Combination.
We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.
We completed the sale of 9,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit on November 12, 2020. Simultaneous with the closing of the Public Offering, we completed the sale of 479,000 private units at a price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement. Of the 479,000 private units, 65,000 units, or the “representative units” were purchased by I-Banker (and/or its designees).
In addition, our sponsor agreed, pursuant to a letter agreement to purchase up to 3,750,000 of our rights in the open market at a market price not to exceed $0.20 per right. I-Bankers also agreed to purchase up to 1,250,000 of our rights in the open market at a market price not to exceed $0.20 per right.
25
On November 9, 2021, our board of directors approved the first extension of the date by which we have to consummate a Business Combination from November 12, 2021, to February 12, 2022. In connection with the extension, the Sponsor deposited into the Trust Account $0.10 for each of the 9,000,000 shares issued in the Public Offering, for a total of $900,000. We issued the Sponsor an interest bearing unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $900,000 which is payable by us upon the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or our liquidation on or before February 12, 2023 (unless such date is extended by our board of directors). Simple interest will accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Note at the rate of 4% per annum based on 365 days a year. The Note may be repaid in cash or convertible into units consisting of one ordinary share, one right exchangeable into one-tenth of one ordinary share, and one warrant exercisable for one-half of one ordinary share at $11.50 per share equal to (x) the portion of the principal amount of and accrued interest under the Note being converted divided by (y) $10.00 rounded up to the nearest whole number of units.
On February 9, 2022, we held an extraordinary general meeting pursuant to which our shareholders approved extending the date by which the Company had to complete a business combination from February 12, 2022 to August 12, 2022. In connection with the approval of the extension, shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 6,326,758 Ordinary Shares. As a result, an aggregate of $64,996,858 (or approximately ($10.27 per share) was released from the Trust Account to pay such shareholders.

The principal amount of the November 2022 Note may be drawn down in three equal amounts and the balance of the November 2022 Note is payable by the Company on the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date of the liquidation of the Company.

As of March 31, 2023, $276,006 was drawn on the note.
On February 9, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual meeting pursuant to which our shareholders approved extending the date by which the Company had to complete a business combination from February 12, 2023 to August 12, 2023. In connection with the approval of the extension, shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 1,172,247 Ordinary Shares.

As of March 31, 2023, $85,438 was drawn on the note.
As of March 31, 2023, we had marketable securities held in the Trust account for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders of $9,302,736 (including $229,327 of interest earned since the IPO, net of $262,533 of interest paid for share redemptions). The trust fund account is invested in interest-bearing U.S. government securities and the income earned on those investments is also for the benefit of our public shareholders.
Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of IPO and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally towards consummating a business combination.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our Initial Public Offering and identifying a target company for our initial Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as expenses as we conduct due diligence on prospective Business Combination candidates.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $431,048 consisting of formation and operating costs of $543,571, accrued interest on promissory note of $8,876 and change in fair value in convertible promissory note of $38,414 offset by change in fair value in warrant liabilities of $12,291 and interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $147,322.

Recent Developments
On December 5, 2022, EDOC Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted corporation (together with its successors, “Edoc”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Australian Oilseeds Investments Pty Ltd., an Australian proprietary company (the “AOI”), Australian Oilseeds Holdings Limited, upon execution of a joinder agreement to become party to the Business Combination Agreement (a “Joinder”), a to-be-formed Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pubco”), AOI Merger Sub, upon execution of a Joinder, a to-be-formed Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”), American Physicians LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser Representative”), in the capacity as the Purchaser Representative thereunder, Gary Seaton, in his capacity as the representative for the Sellers (as defined below) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Seller Representative”) and each of the holders of AOI’s outstanding capital shares named on Annex I thereto (the “Primary Sellers”), as amended from time to time to include subsequent parties that execute and deliver to Edoc, Pubco and AOI a Joinder (the “Joining Sellers”), and the holders of AOI’s outstanding capital shares who are bound by the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement pursuant the drag-along rights set forth in AOI’s memorandum and articles of association (the “Drag-Along Sellers”, and collectively with the Joining Sellers, the “Sellers”).
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”), (a) Edoc will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Edoc continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), and with holders of Edoc securities receiving substantially identical securities of Pubco, and (b) immediately prior to the Merger, Pubco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of AOI (the “Purchased Shares”) from the Sellers in exchange for ordinary shares of Pubco, with AOI becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Share Exchange”, and together with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Transactions”).
The total consideration to be paid by Pubco to the Sellers for the Purchased Shares shall be an aggregate number of Pubco ordinary shares (the “Exchange Shares”) with an aggregate value (the “Exchange Consideration”) equal to, without duplication, (i) $190,000,000, plus (or minus if negative) (ii) AOI’s net working capital less a target net working capital of $4,000,000, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of any outstanding indebtedness, net of cash and cash equivalents, of AOI and its subsidiaries, and minus (iv) the amount of any unpaid transaction expenses of AOI, with each Pubco ordinary share to be issued to the Sellers valued at $10.00.
On March 31, 2023, the Company, AOI, Pubco, Merger Sub, and the Purchaser Representative entered into that certain First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “First Amendment”), pursuant to which the Business Combination Agreement was amended to add, as a closing condition, that upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Company shall have cash and cash equivalents, including fund remaining in the Company’s trust account (after giving effect to the completion and payment of the redemption) and the proceeds of any PIPE Investment, prior to giving effect to the payment of the Company’s unpaid expenses or liabilities, of at least equal to $10,000,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023, we had cash outside the Trust Account of $53,610 available for working capital needs. All remaining cash held in the Trust Account is generally unavailable for our use, prior to an initial Business Combination, and is restricted for use either in a Business Combination or to redeem ordinary shares. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, none of the amount in the Trust Account was available to be withdrawn as described above.
28
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $235,287. Net loss of $431,048 was affected by accrued interest on promissory note of $8,876, change in fair value in warrant liabilities of $12,291, change in fair value in convertible promissory note of $38,414 and interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $147,322. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $308,084 of cash for operating activities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $547,176. Net loss of $4,564,465 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $4,144, changes in fair value of warrant liability of $141,877, offset by interest expense of $13,975, a change in the fair value of the convertible promissory notes of $12,560, and finance costs related to transfer of shares to backstop investors of $3,426,350. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $710,425 of cash for operating activities.
Through March 31, 2023, our liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the founder shares, the remaining net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of private units, and the Convertible Promissory Notes drawn from the Sponsor.
Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
On November 10, 2021, the Company issued an interest-bearing convertible promissory note (the “November 2021 Note”) to the Sponsor in the amount of $900,000, which is payable by the Company upon the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company on or before February 12, 2022 (unless such date is extended by the Company’s board of directors). The November 2021 Note may be repaid in cash or convertible into units consisting of one ordinary share, one right exchangeable into one-tenth of one ordinary share, and one warrant exercisable for one-half of one ordinary share at $11.50 per share equal to (x) the portion of the principal amount of and accrued interest under the note being converted divided by (y) $10.00 rounded up to the nearest whole number of units. As of March 31, 2023, $900,000 was outstanding on the November 2021 Note and the fair value of the note, including accrued interest of $50,005, was $872,022.
On February 13, 2022, the Company issued a non-interest-bearing convertible promissory note (the “February 2022 Note”) in the principal amount of up to $750,000 to the Sponsor and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination and (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. Up to $600,000 of the unpaid principal amount of the February 2022 Note may be converted into units of the Company, each unit consisting of one ordinary share, one right exchangeable into one-tenth of one ordinary share, and one warrant exercisable for one-half of one ordinary share. As of March 31, 2023, $750,000 was outstanding on the February 2022 Note and the fair value of the note was $687,680.
29
On August 25, 2022, the Company issued a non-interest-bearing promissory note (the “August 2022 Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $202,460 to the Sponsor. The principal amount of the August 2022 Note may be drawn down in three equal amounts and the balance of the August 2022 Note is payable by the Company on the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date of the liquidation of the Company. As of March 31, 2023, $202,460 was outstanding under the August 2022 Note.
On October 6, 2022, the Company issued a non-interest-bearing promissory note (the “October 2022 Note”) in the principal amount of up to $500,000 to the Sponsor. The principal balance of the October 2022 Note is payable by the Company on the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date of the liquidation of the Company. As of March 31, 2023, $500,000 was outstanding under the October 2022 Note.
On November 16, 2022, the Company issued a non-interest-bearing promissory note (the “November 2022 Note”) in the principal amount of up to $303,994 to our Sponsor, pursuant to which such funds would be deposited into the trust account for each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the extension of the Company’s termination date from August 12, 2022 to February 12, 2023. The principal amount of the November 2022 Note may be drawn down in three equal amounts and the balance of the November 2022 Note is payable by the Company on the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date of the liquidation of the Company. As of March 31, 2023, there was $303,994 was outstanding under the November 2022 Note.
On January 10, 2023, the Company issued a non-interest-bearing promissory note (the “January 2023 Note”) in the aggregate amount of up to $450,000 to the Sponsor. The principal amount of the January 2023 Note is payable by the Company on the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date of the liquidation of the Company. As of March 31, 2023, $276,006 was drawn on the note.
On February 14, 2023, the Company issued a non-interest-bearing promissory note (the “February 2023 Note”) in the aggregate amount of up to $256,313 to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the funds will be deposited into the trust account for each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the extension of the Company’s termination date from February 12, 2022 to August 12, 2023. The principal amount of the February 2023 Note is payable by the Company on the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date of the liquidation of the Company. As of March 31, 2023, $85,438 was drawn on the note.
On April 25, 2023, the Company issued a non-interest-bearing promissory note (the “April 2023 Note”) in the principal amount of up to $175,000 to the Sponsor. The April 2023 Note was issued in connection with advances the Sponsor may make in the future to the Company for working capital expenses. The April 2023 Note bears no interest and is due on the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date of the liquidation of the Company.
On January 5, 2023, we instructed Continental to liquidate the investments held in the trust account and instead to hold the funds in the trust account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at Morgan Stanley, with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the trust account, the remaining proceeds from the initial public offering and private placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
As of March 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
As of March 31, 2023, we did not have any long-term debt, capital or operating lease obligations.
We entered into an administrative support agreement (“Administrative Support Agreement”) pursuant to which agreed to pay our sponsor for office space and secretarial and administrative services provided to members of our management team, in an amount not to exceed $10,000 per month. Effective March 31, 2021, we entered into a termination agreement with our sponsor (the “Termination Agreement”) to terminate the Administrative Support Agreement (and any accrued obligations pursuant thereto). Since our initial public offering, we have not made any payments under the Administrative Support Agreement and have paid for services rendered and expenses advanced by our sponsor on an as-needed basis.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of interim condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We identified the following as its critical accounting policies:
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15.
30
We account for the Public Warrants, Private Warrants, Rights and Representative Warrants (as defined in Note 5, 6 and 8) collectively (“Warrants”), as either equity or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the Warrants and the applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the Warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants are indexed to our own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of our control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of issuance of the Warrants and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, such warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, such warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of liability-classified warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
We account for the Private Warrants, Rights and Representative’s Warrants in accordance with ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants and FPAs do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. The fair value of the Private Warrants, Rights and Representative’s Warrants has been estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model.
We evaluated the Public Warrants in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity,” and concluded that they met the criteria for equity classification and are required to be recorded as part a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance.
Convertible Promissory Notes
We account for the convertible promissory notes under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Under 815-15-25, the election can be at the inception of a financial instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825. We made such election for the convertible promissory notes. Using fair value option, the convertible promissory note is required to be recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the note are recognized as non-cash change in the fair value of the convertible promissory note in the statements of operations. The fair value of the conversion feature of the notes were valued utilizing the Monte Carlo model.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. On February 9, 2022, we held an extraordinary general meeting pursuant to which our shareholders approved extending the date by which we had to complete a Business Combination from February 12, 2022 to August 12, 2022. In connection with the approval of the extension, shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 6,326,758 Ordinary Shares. As a result, an aggregate of $64,996,858 (or approximately ($10.27 per share) was released from the Trust Account to pay such shareholders. On August 12, 2022, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting pursuant to which the Company’s shareholders approved extending the date by which the Company has to complete a Business Combination from August 12, 2022 to February 12, 2023. In connection with the approval of the extension, shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 646,617 Ordinary Shares. As a result, an aggregate of $6,660,150 (or approximately $10.30 per shares) was released from the Trust Account to pay such shareholders. On February 9, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual meeting pursuant to which the Company’s shareholders approved extending the date by which the Company had to complete a Business Combination from February 12, 2023 to August 12, 2023. In connection with the approval of the extension, shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 1,172,247 Class A ordinary shares. As a result, an aggregate of $12,554,008 (or approximately $10.71 per share) was released from the Trust Account to pay such shareholders. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 854,378 and 2,026,625 shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of our balance sheets.

Net Loss Per Ordinary Share
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for each of the periods. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. The contractual formula utilized to calculate the redemption amount approximates fair value. Changes in fair value are not considered a dividend of the purposes of the numerator in the earnings per share calculation. The calculation of diluted loss per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants and rights issued in connection with the IPO since the exercise of the warrants and rights are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive. The warrants and rights are exercisable for 6,137,400 shares of Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. As a smaller reporting company, ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Our management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying interim condensed financial statements.
JOBS Act
The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act and are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our interim condensed 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 independent registered public accounting firm’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 independent registered public accounting firm’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.
Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations
Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial business combination.

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
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Certifying Officers, we 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 the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report, due to a material weakness in evaluating complex accounting issues as well as Company’s controls over reconciliations during the financial statement close and disclosure review process.
Management has implemented remediation steps to improve our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting process. 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 and consideration of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and implementing additional layers of reviews in the financial close process.
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
Other than as discussed above, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
To the knowledge of our management team, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As of the date of this Report, other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our (i) Registration Statement, and (ii) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on January 24, 2023. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or ability to consummate an initial business combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, including events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, or our prospects.
The funds in our operating account and our trust account are held in banks or other financial institutions. Our funds held in non-interest bearing and interest-bearing accounts would exceed any applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. Should events, including limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments occur with respect to the banks or other financial institutions that hold our funds, or that affect financial institutions or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, our liquidity may be adversely affected. For example, on March 10, 2023, the FDIC announced that Silicon Valley Bank had been closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. Although we did not have any funds in Silicon Valley Bank or other institutions that have been closed, we cannot guarantee that the banks or other financial institutions that hold our funds will not experience similar issues.
In addition, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on terms favorable to us in connection with a potential business combination, or at all, and could have material adverse impacts on our liquidity, our business, financial condition or results of operations, and our prospects. Our business may be adversely impacted by these developments in ways that we cannot predict at this time, there may be additional risks that we have not yet identified, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to avoid negative consequences directly or indirectly from any failure of one or more banks or other financial institutions.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None. For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our initial public offering and private placement, see Part II, Item 2 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 2020, as filed with the SEC on May 25, 2021. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering and private placement as described in the Registration Statement.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
On February 9, 2023, we held our extraordinary general meeting in lieu if annual meeting and approved, among other things, an extension of the date by which we must consummate a business combination from February 9, 2023 to August 12, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board). In connection with the Combination Period, shareholders holding 1,172,247 public shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account. We paid cash in the aggregate amount of $12,554,008, or approximately $10.71 per share to redeeming shareholders.
