NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations
Gladstone Acquisition Corporation (the "Company") is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 14, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, merging with, engaging in capital stock exchange with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, engaging in contractual arrangements, or engaging in any other similar business combination with a single operating entity, or one or more related or unrelated operating entities operating in any sector (a "Business Combination"). While the Company may pursue an initial Business Combination target in any business or industry, the Company intends to focus its search on the farming and agricultural sectors, including farming related operations and businesses that support the farming industry, where the management team has extensive experience.
The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest, if at all. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from its initial public offering ( the "IPO") that was declared effective on August 4, 2021. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company's sponsor is Gladstone Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Sponsor").
As described further in Note 4, on January 25, 2021, the Sponsor paid $
The registration statement for the Company's IPO was declared effective on August 4, 2021 (the "Effective Date"). On August 9, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of

The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the Private 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 an initial Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least

The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial 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 on deposit in the Trust Account (initially approximately $
The Class A Common Stock subject to redemption was recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the shares of Class A Common Stock are not a “penny share” upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
If, however, stockholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction, whether they participate in or abstain from voting or whether they were a stockholder on the record date for the stockholder meeting held to approve the proposed transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of its initial Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions in connection with its initial Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will provide 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 Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of
If the Company is unable to complete its initial 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 (less up to $

the Company's board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company's obligations under the law of the state of Delaware to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The Company's Initial Stockholders, as well as holders of Representatives' Class A Shares, agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Class B Common Shares and Class A Common Shares, respectively, held by them if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination during the Combination Period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $
Going Concern
The Company has until November 9, 2022 to consummate a Business Combination (or February 9, 2023 if it exercises its option to extend the date). It is uncertain that the Company will be able consummate a Business Combination by either date. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the required dates, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in ASC Subtopic 205-40, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern," management has determined that as a result of the liquidity discussion above and the mandatory liquidation, and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a business combination, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after November 9, 2022 (or February 9, 2023, if extended).
Note 2 — 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 Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in condensed 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 interim condensed financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, included in our audited financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 29, 2022. The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from those audited financial statements. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future interim periods.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of
8
holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed 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.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company's financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $
Cash Held in Trust Account
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $
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 Company coverage of $
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its shares of Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A Common Stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable shares of common stock (including 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 the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity (deficit). The Company’s shares of Class A Common Stock sold in the IPO feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
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. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the subsequent measurement from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in
9
the carrying value of redeemable Class A common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Class A Common Stock reflected in the condensed balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:

Warrant Instruments
Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the pro rata net loss allocated between the redeemable shares of Class A Common Stock and the non-redeemable shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each of the periods. The calculation of diluted loss per share does not consider the effect of the warrants and redemption rights issued in connection with the IPO since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive. The warrants are exercisable for

Income Taxes
The tax (or benefit) related to ordinary income (or loss) for interim periods presented is computed using an estimated annual effective tax rate and the tax (or benefit) related to all other items is individually computed and recognized when the items occur. 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 statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in statement of operations 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 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were
The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The provision for income taxes was deemed to be immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and for the period from January 14, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021. The Company did not record a tax benefit and deferred tax asset on the losses recorded in the interim periods presented because future realization was not more likely than not in the interim periods of occurrence.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective as of January 1, 2022 on a full retrospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company's condensed financial statements.

References in this report (the “Quarterly Report”) to “we,” “us” or the “Company” refer to Gladstone Acquisition Corporation. References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officers and directors, and references to the “Sponsor” refer to Gladstone Sponsor, LLC. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the completion of the Proposed Business Combination (as defined below), the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including that the conditions of the Proposed Business Combination are not satisfied. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to those factors described herein including Item 1A "Risk Factors," and in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2022 (the "Annual Report"). The Company’s securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our accompanying condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report. Historical financial condition and results of operations and percentage relationships among any amounts in the condensed financial statements are not necessarily indicative of financial condition or results of operations for any future periods.
Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 14, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $388,604, which was primarily related to operating costs and search for a target to complete an initial Business Combination.
For the period from January 14, 2021 (inception) to March 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $688, which was related to formation and operating costs.
The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On August 9, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 10,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, which is discussed in Note 6 to the condensed financial statements, and the sale of 4,200,000 Private Warrants which is discussed in Note 6 to the condensed financial statements, at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor that closed simultaneously with the IPO. On August 18, 2021, the underwriter of the IPO partially exercised their over-allotment option and purchased an additional 492,480 Units, generating an aggregate of gross proceeds of $4,924,800 (see Note 4 to the condensed financial statements). Simultaneously with the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, our Sponsor purchased an additional 98,496 Private Warrants, generating aggregate gross proceeds of $98,496 (see Note 3 to the condensed financial statements). As payment for services including the exercise of the over-allotment option, the underwriters received 209,850 Representatives' Class A Shares for nominal consideration.
16
Transaction costs related to the IPO and partial over-allotment exercise and the over-allotment amounted to $6,265,859 consisting of $3,672,368 of deferred underwriting commissions, $2,098,500 of fair value of the Representatives' Class A Shares and $494,991 of other cash offering costs.
After consummation of the IPO on August 9, 2021, and the partial over-allotment exercise on August 18, 2021, the Company had $2,023,122 in its operating bank account, and working capital of $1,475,504. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $769,484 of cash in its operating bank account and working capital of $931,264.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $310,074 of cash in its operating bank account and working capital of $579,131. The Company will continue to expend working capital for operating costs, which includes costs to identify a potential target and acquire the business, in addition to accounting, audit, legal, board, franchise tax and other expenses associated with operating the business during the period through the mandatory date to consummate a Business Combination or liquidate the business. Such costs are likely to exceed the amount of cash currently available. To finance working capital needs, Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company's officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with Working Capital Loans (see Note 4). As of March 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining additional working capital, it raises substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, as further discussed below.
We have until November 9, 2022 to consummate an Initial Business Combination (or February 9, 2023 if we exercise our option to extend the date). It is uncertain that we will be able consummate an Initial Business Combination by either date. If an Initial Business Combination is not consummated by the required dates, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in ASC Topic 205-40, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern," management has determined that as a result of the liquidity discussion above and the mandatory liquidation, and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a business combination, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after November 9, 2022 (or February 9, 2023, if extended)
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2022. 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
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and administrative support. We began incurring these fees on August 4, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the initial Business Combination or our liquidation.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have determined that there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2022 from those described in our Annual Report.
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. The
17
Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective as of January 1, 2022 on a full retrospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company's condensed financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below in “Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.”
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for complex financial instruments. As a result of this material weakness, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2021. This material weakness resulted in a material misstatement of our additional paid-in capital, accumulated deficit and related financial disclosures for the affected periods.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting did not result in the proper classification of all redeemable Public Shares as temporary equity within our previously issued audited balance sheet, as of August 9, 2021 (the “August Balance Sheet”), filed with the SEC in Form 8-Ks on August 13, 2021 and August 19, 2021. Historically, a portion of our Public Shares was classified as permanent equity to maintain stockholders’ equity greater than $5,000,000 on the basis that we will consummate our initial Business Combination only if we have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001. In light of recent comment letters issued by the SEC to several SPACs, our management re-evaluated our application of ASC 480-10-S99-3A to our accounting classification of Public Shares and determined that our Public Shares include certain provisions that require their classification as temporary equity regardless of the minimum net tangible assets required to complete our initial Business Combination.
Therefore, in consultation with the audit committee of our board of directors, on November 15, 2021, we concluded that our previously issued August Balance Sheet should be restated to report all Public Shares as temporary equity and should no longer be relied upon. As such, we restated the August Balance Sheet in our Form 10-Q filed for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as described in Note 2 of the notes to the condensed financial statements included therein.
Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes that the condensed financial statements and related financial information included in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, our balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented.
Remediation Plan
Following the identification of the material weakness described above with respect to the accounting treatment of our Public Shares, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer begin working to implement additional accounting and financial analyses related to the classification of our Public Shares as temporary equity versus permanent equity, including consulting
18
with subject matter experts. We are in the process of evaluating whether additional remediation measures should be implemented with respect to such material weakness.
As we continue to evaluate and improve our financial reporting process, we may take additional actions to modify certain of the remediation measures described above. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses we have identified or avoid potential future material weaknesses.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2022. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2022.
Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our Initial Business Combination, and results of operations.
We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we will be required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our Initial Business Combination, and results of operations. In addition, we are subject to tax laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments, those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes or our failure to comply with any applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted or applied, could have a material adverse impact on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our Initial Business Combination, investments and results of operations. See “An investment in our IPO may result in uncertain or adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences” for further discussion on tax matters.
On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “2022 Proposed Rules”) relating to, among other items, enhancing disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; amending the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; effectively limiting the use of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; increasing the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940.. These 2022 Proposed Rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in revised form, and certain positions and legal conclusions expressed by the SEC in connection with the 2022 Proposed Rules may materially adversely affect our ability to negotiate and complete our Business Combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.
