Founder Shares

In June 2021, the initial stockholders paid $25,000 in exchange for 2,875,000 shares of common stock (the “Founder Shares”). The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the IPO would be a maximum of 11,500,000 Units if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full, and therefore that such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the IPO. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, of the 2,875,000 shares outstanding, none of which were subject to forfeiture due to the full exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters upon the consummation of the IPO.

The initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell (i) any of the Founder Shares until nine months after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to the initial Business Combination, the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property or (ii) any of the Private Placement Units until the completion of the initial Business Combination. The representative’s Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO except that they may not (including the common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until after the completion of the initial Business Combination. Additionally, for so long as the warrants underlying the Private Placement Units are held by the representative and its designees, they will not be exercisable more than five years from the commencement date of sales in the IPO in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(A).

Promissory Note — Related Party

The Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $400,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. These loans were non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of February 28, 2022 or the closing of the IPO. At December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance under the promissory note of $323,190 had been paid in full and the unsecured promissory note is no longer available to the Company. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, no amounts were outstanding under the unsecured promissory note.

Working Capital Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the initial stockholders, officers and directors and their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). The Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. In the event that the Company is unable to consummate an initial Business Combination, the Company may use a portion of the offering proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. If the Company consummates an initial Business

Combination, the notes would either be paid upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,000,000 of the notes may be converted upon consummation of the Business Combination into additional Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 100,000 units if the full amount of notes are issued and converted). At December 31, 2022 and 2021, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

Administrative Service Fee

The Company entered into an administrative services agreement on October 18, 2021, pursuant to which the Company will pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and other administrative and consulting services. Upon completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had accrued $21,356 and $24,516, respectively, of administrative service fees. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred $120,000 of administrative service fees expense. For the period from May 14, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred $24,516 of administrative service fees expense. Included in the Administrative Service Fee paid to the Sponsor is $100,000 the Sponsor pays to Lawson Gow, the Company’s Chief Strategy Officer, in connection with services related to identifying and consummating the initial Business Combination.

Related Party Investments

In December 2022, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and a director of the Company, loaned a total of $600,000 to Infrared Cameras Holdings, Inc. (“the Borrower”) bearing interest at 10% per annum increasing to 12% per annum on February 15, 2023. Interest is due upon the Maturity Date, which is six months from the effective dates of the notes.

The unpaid principal balance of these notes and accrued and unpaid interest shall be converted into shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Borrower at the Automatic Conversion Price (“Automatic Conversion”), described below.

The automatic conversion date is immediately before the Borrower consummates an initial public offering or consummates a business combination resulting in the Borrower’s shares of common stock being publicly traded.

The Automatic Conversion Price is approximately 50% less than the publicly traded price if the Borrower consummates an initial public offering, or 50% less than the assigned value per share if the Borrow consummates a business combination resulting in the Borrower’s shares of common stock being publicly traded.
