NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

Bannix Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 21, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting mergers, capital stock exchange, asset acquisitions, stock purchases, reorganization or similar business combinations with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target with respect to the Business Combination.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 21, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “IPO”) (as defined below) and the Company’s search for a target for an initial 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 and non-operating income or expense from the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

Financing

The Company’s original sponsors were Subash Menon and Sudeesh Yezhuvath (through their investment entity Bannix Management LLP), Suresh Yezhuvath (“Yezhuvath”) and Seema Rao (“Rao”).

On October 20, 2022, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), Instant Fame LLC, a Nevada limited liability company controlled by a U.S. person (“Instant Fame”) (the “new Sponsors”), acquired an aggregate of 385,000 shares of common stock of the Company from Bannix Management LLP, Balaji Venugopal Bhat, Nicholos Hellyer, Subbanarasimhaiah Arun, Vishant Vora and Suresh Yezhuvath and 90,000 private placement units from Suresh Yezhuvath (collectively, the “Sellers”) in a private transaction. The Sellers immediately loaned the entire proceeds to the Company for the working capital requirements of the Company. This loan will be forfeited by the Sellers upon liquidation or business combination. In connection with this transaction, all parties agreed to certain changes to the Board of Directors.

As a result of the above, Subash Menon resigned as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and Nicholas Hellyer resigned as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Head of Strategy. Douglas Davis was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Further, Balaji Venugopal Bhat, Subbanarasimhaiah Arun and Vishant Vora resigned as Directors of the Company. Mr. Bhat, Mr. Arun and Mr. Vora served on the Audit Committee with Mr. Bhat serving as the committee chair. Mr. Bhat, Mr. Arun and Mr. Vora served on the Compensation Committee with Mr. Arun serving as the committee chair.

The Board was also increased from two to seven and Craig Marshak and Douglas Davis were appointed as Co-Chairmans of the Board of Directors effective immediately. Further, Jamal Khurshid, Eric T. Shuss and Ned L. Siegel were appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company. The resignations referenced above were not the result of any disagreement with management or the Board.

On November 10, 2022, Sudeesh Yezhuvath resigned as a director of the Company for personal reasons. The resignation was not the result of any disagreements with management or the Board.

Due to vacancies as results of board members departure, on November 11, 2022 the Board made the following decisions: (i) Jamie Khurshid, Ned Siegel and Eric Shuss each have been identified as being financially literate and independent under the SEC and Nasdaq Rules have been appointed to the Audit Committee to serve until their successors are qualified and appointed with such appointment subject to the mailing of that certain Schedule 14F Information Statement. Mr. Khurshid chairs the audit committee. (ii) Mr. Siegel, Mr. Shuss and Craig Marshak each have been identified as being independent under the SEC and Nasdaq Rules were appointed to the Compensation Committee to serve until their successors are qualified and appointed with such appointment subject to the mailing of that certain Schedule 14F Information Statement. (iii) Messrs. Davis and Marshak have been appointed as Class III directors, Subash Menon has been appointed as a Class I director and, subject to the mailing of the Schedule 14F Information Statement, Messrs. Khurshid, Siegel and Shuss have been appointed as the Class II directors. The Schedule 14F Information Statement was mailed on or about November 15, 2022.

The registration statements for the Company’s IPO were declared effective on September 9, 2021 and September 10, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On September 14, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of 6,900,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), which is discussed in Note 2. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock (the “Public Shares”), one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

Concurrent with the IPO, the Company consummated the issuance of 406,000 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”) as follows: the Company sold 181,000 Private Placement Units to certain investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,460,000 and issued an additional 225,000 private placement units to the Sponsor in exchange for the cancellation of $1,105,000 in loans and a promissory note due to them (see Note 5). Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of common stock, one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination.

Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on September 14, 2021, an amount of $69,690,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds from this offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of this offering, or within any period of extension, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

On December 13, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in favor of Instant Fame, in the principal amount of $690,000. The proceeds of the Note were utilized by the Company to obtain the first three-month extension of the period for the Company to consummate a Business Combination. In March and April 2023 the Company issued additional unsecured promissory notes to Instant Fame for $75,000 for each promissory note. The proceeds of the March and April promissory notes were utilized by the Company to obtain the second and third monthly extensions of the period for the Company to consummate a Business Combination.

The Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders on March 8, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the stockholder approved the filing of an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Extension Amendment”), to extend the date (the “Extension”) by which the Company must (1) complete a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (an “initial business combination”), (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial business combination, and (3) redeem 100% of the Company’s common stock (“common stock”) included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on September 14, 2021 (the “IPO”), from March 14, 2023, and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to further extend the date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis up to twelve (12) times by an additional one (1) month each time after March 14, 2023 or later extended deadline date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), if requested by Instant Fame upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline date, until March 14, 2024, or a total of up to twelve (12) months after March 14, 2023 (such date as extended, the “Deadline Date”), unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company has deposited $225,000 and $300,000 into the Trust Account to extend the Deadline Date to July 14, 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, $0 was deposited in the trust account.

Initial Business Combination

The Company had until December 13, 2022 to consummate the initial Business Combination. Pursuant to the terms of the bylaws and the trust agreement entered into between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, in order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate the initial Business Combination, the new Sponsors, upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the Trust Account for each three-month extension, $690,000 ($0.10 per share in either case) on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, up to an aggregate of $1,380,000, or approximately $0.20 per share. On December 13, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “December 2022 Note”) in favor of Instant Fame, in the principal amount of $690,000. The proceeds of the December 2022 Note were utilized by the Company to obtain the first three-month extension of the period for the Company to consummate a business combination. As a result, the Deadline Date was extended until March 14, 2023. The Company, as approved at the stockholder meeting on March 8, 2023, without another stockholder vote, may further extend the date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis up to twelve (12) times by an additional one (1) month each time after March 14, 2023 or later extended deadline date, by resolution of the Board, if requested by Instant Fame upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline date, until March 14, 2024, or a total of up to twelve (12) months after March 14, 2023, unless the closing of a business combination shall have occurred prior thereto. If an Extension is implemented, Instant Fame will deposit into the Trust Account, as a loan, the lesser of (x) $75,000 or (y) $0.07 per public share multiplied by the number of public shares outstanding (the “Contribution”), in connection with each Extension. On March 13, 2023, the Board, at the request of Instant Fame, determined to implement a first Extension and to extend the Deadline Date for an additional month to April 14, 2023. In connection with Instant Fame’s contribution for the Extension, which was funded on March 10, 2023, on March 13, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to Instant Fame with a principal amount equal to $75,000 (the “First Extension Note”). The December 2022 Note and the First Extension Note bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of Bannix’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of Bannix’s liquidation. If Bannix does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Deadline Date, the First Extension Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the trust account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

In the event that the Company receives notice from Instant Fame five days prior to the applicable deadline of its wish for the Company to effect an extension, the Company intends to issue a press release announcing such intention at least three days prior to the applicable deadline. In addition, the Company intends to issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline announcing whether or not the funds had been timely deposited. Instant Fame and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for the Company to complete the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to consummate the initial Business Combination within the applicable time period, the Company will, promptly but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account and promptly following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the rights and warrants will be worthless. Additionally, pursuant to Nasdaq rules, any initial Business Combination must be approved by a majority of the independent directors.

The Company anticipates structuring the initial Business Combination so that the post-transaction company in which the public stockholders’ own shares will own or acquire substantially all of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. The Company may, however, structure the initial Business Combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than substantially all of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders or for other reasons, but the Company will only complete such Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, the stockholders prior to the initial Business Combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and the Company in the Business Combination transaction. For example, the Company could pursue a transaction in which the Company issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of shares or other equity interests. In this case, the Company would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, the stockholders immediately prior to the initial Business Combination could own less than a majority of the outstanding shares subsequent to the initial Business Combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% of net assets test. If the initial Business Combination involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses even if the acquisitions of the target businesses are not closed simultaneously.

Although the Company believes that the net proceeds of the offering will be sufficient to allow the Company to consummate a Business Combination the Company cannot ascertain the capital requirements for any particular transaction. If the net proceeds of this offering prove to be insufficient, either because of the size of the Business Combination, the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, or because the Company becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of the Public Shares upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, the Company will be required to seek additional financing, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Furthermore, the Company may issue a substantial number of additional shares of common or preferred stock to complete the initial Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan upon or after consummation of the initial Business Combination. The Company does not have a maximum debt leverage ratio or a policy with respect to how much debt the Company may incur. The amount of debt the Company will be willing to incur will depend on the facts and circumstances of the proposed Business Combination and market conditions at the time of the potential Business Combination. At this time, the Company is not party to any arrangement or understanding with any third party with respect to raising additional funds through the sale of the securities or the incurrence of debt. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of the initial Business Combination.

Nasdaq rules require that the initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding advisory fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. If the board is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, the Company will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or an independent accounting firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. The Company does not intend to purchase multiple businesses in unrelated industries in connection with the initial Business Combination.

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 at 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 $10.10 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations plus additional deposits to extend the Combination Period).

The initial carrying value of the common stock subject to redemption is recorded at an amount equal to the proceeds of the public offering less (i) the fair value of the public warrants and less (ii) offering costs allocable to the common stock sold as part of the units in the IPO. Such initial carrying value is classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that in no event will it redeem the public shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 both immediately before and after the consummation of the Business Combination (so that the Company is not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). Redemptions of the Company’s public shares may also be subject to a higher net tangible asset test or cash requirement pursuant to an agreement relating to the Business Combination. For example, the Business Combination may require: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash to be transferred to the target for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration the Company would be required to pay for all shares of common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to the Company, it will not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, and all shares of common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.

The new Sponsors, officers and directors and Representative (as defined in Note 6) have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below) and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Company’s new Sponsors have agreed that they will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.46 per Public Share (subject to increase of up to an additional $75,000 per month in the event that our sponsors elect to extend the period of time to consummate a business combination as set forth in the Extension Amendment) and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.46 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked its new Sponsors to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether its new Sponsors have sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Company’s new Sponsors’ only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its new Sponsors would be able to satisfy those obligations.

On March 8, 2023 the Company held the Special Meeting and approved the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination, up to March 14, 2024 with approval of the board of directors and additional deposits of funds in the Trust Account. In connection with the vote on the Extension Amendment (described below) at the Special Meeting, stockholders holding a total of 3,960,387 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $41,077,199 (approximately $10.37201 per share) was removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company has 5,463,613 shares outstanding.

As disclosed by the Company in its additional materials to its proxy statement filed on March 6, 2023 with respect to the remaining funds held in the Trust Account following the Special Meeting and the related redemptions, the Company stated it plans to maintain the remaining amount in its Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank.

On April 6, 2023, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company established and funded a bank account with Citibank for all remaining funds from the Trust Account, post-redemption, including interest accrued in the amount of $30,744,828.

On April 13, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the new Sponsor with a principal amount of $75,000 (the “Extension Note”). The Extension Note bear no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Deadline Date, the Extension Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

On April 19, 2023 and May 12, 2023, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes to Evie Autonomous LTD with a principal amount of $248,325 (the “Evie Autonomous Extension Notes”). The Evie Autonomous Extension Notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Deadline Date, the Evie Autonomous Extension Notes will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

With the draw down of the funds from the Extension Note and Evie Autonomous Extension Notes and deposits totaling $300,000 as of June 30, 2023, into the Trust Account, the Company has extended the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination to July 14, 2023. With additional funding of $225,000 to the Trust Account subsequent to June 30, 2023, and as of the filing date of this Form 10-Q, the Company has extended the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination to October 14, 2023.

On May 10, 2023, the Company engaged a law firm to assist with the proposed Business Combination with Evie Group. The Company has agreed to pay $30,000 upon entering into the agreement, $70,000 upon Evie Group signing a definitive Business Combination agreement and the remaining $500,000 is contingent upon the closing of the Business Combination with Evie Group.

On May 19, 2023, the Company entered into an Executive Retention Agreement with Mr. Davis, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors, providing for an at-will employment arrangement that may be terminated by either party at any time, which provides for the payment of an annual salary of $240,000 to Mr. Davis. Additionally, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Subash Menon, a director of the Company, for services in connection with the review and advice pertaining to the proposed acquisition of Evie Group providing for a payment in the amount of $200,000 upon the closing of a Business Combination.

Propose Business Combination

On April 17, 2023, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) with Evie Autonomous Ltd. (“Evie”), and on May 8, 2023, Evie Autonomous Group Ltd (“Evie Group”) became a successor entity for the proposed Business Combination.

GBT Technologies Inc. is also a party to the Letter of Intent pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire the Apollo System which is intellectual property covered by patent application (publication number 2022/0405966) filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office. This patent application describes a machine learning driven technology that controls radio wave transmissions, analyzes their reflections data, and constructs 2D/3D images of stationary and moving objects. The Apollo System is based on radio waves and can detect an entity’s moving and stationary positions, enabling imaging technology to show these movements and positions on a screen in real time. This includes an AI technology that controls the radio waves transmission and analyzes the reflections. The goal is to integrate the Apollo System as an efficient driver monitoring system, detecting impaired or distracted drivers, providing audible and visual alerts.

On June 23, 2023, the Company, Evie Group, and the shareholder of the Evie Group (“Evie Group Shareholder”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent in the Business Combination Agreement, the following transactions will occur: the acquisition by Bannix of all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Evie Group from the Evie Group Shareholder in exchange for the issuance of eighty-five million new shares of common stock of Bannix, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to which Evie Group will become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Bannix (the “Share Acquisition”) and (b) the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents referred to therein (collectively, the “Transactions”).

● by either Bannix or Evie Group if any of the closing conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement have not been satisfied or waived by December 31, 2023; provided, however, that the Business Combination Agreement may not be terminated under such provision of the Business Combination Agreement by or on behalf of any party that either directly or indirectly through its affiliates (or with respect to Evie Group and the Evie Group Shareholder) is in breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained therein, with such breach or violation being the principal cause of the failure of a condition set forth in the Business Combination Agreement on or prior to the Outside Date;

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $129,264 in cash and a working capital deficit of $2,319,706, excluding taxes payable from the Trust Account.

The Company’s liquidity needs through June 30, 2023, were satisfied through (1) a capital contribution from the Sponsors of $28,750 for common stock (“Founder Shares”) and (2) loans from Sponsors and new Sponsors and related parties in order to pay offering costs and other working capital needs. In addition, in order to fund transaction costs in connection with a possible Business Combination, the Company’s new Sponsors, an affiliate of the new Sponsors, and/or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were no loans associated with the Working Capital Loans. As of June 30, 2023, the Company owed $1,182,850 to Sponsors, new Sponsors and related parties. See Note 5 for further disclosure of Sponsor, new Sponsors and related party loans.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company may not have sufficient funds and borrowing capacity to meet its operating needs through the consummation of a Business Combination through the extended term of the Company which expires on October 14, 2023 (as extended). Over this time period, the Company will be utilizing the funds in the operating bank account to pay existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. As of the date of the filing of this report, management has indicated that it does intend to extend the term of the Company after its initial term expires.

The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of the date of the filing of this report. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations, the Company has until October 14, 2023 (as extended) to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by that time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. The Company has determined that the insufficient funds to meet the operating needs of the Company through the liquidation date as well as the mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

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.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company 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 unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements.

Consideration of Inflation Reduction Act Excise Tax

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

On December 27, 2022, the Treasury published Notice 2023-2, which provided clarification on some aspects of the application of the excise tax. The notice generally provides that if a publicly traded U.S. corporation completely liquidates and dissolves, distributions in such complete liquidation and other distributions by such corporation in the same taxable year in which the final distribution in complete liquidation and dissolution is made are not subject to the excise tax. Although such notice clarifies certain aspects of the excise tax, the interpretation and operation of aspects of the excise tax (including its application and operation with respect to SPACs) remain unclear and such interim operating rules are subject to change.

Because the application of this excise tax is not entirely clear, any redemption or other repurchase effected by the Company, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to this excise tax. Because any such excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holders, it could cause a reduction in the value of the Company’s Class A common stock, cash available with which to effectuate a Business Combination or cash available for distribution in a subsequent liquidation. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the structure of the Business Combination, (ii) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the Business Combination (or any other equity issuances within the same taxable year of the Business Combination) and (iv) the content of any subsequent regulations, clarifications, and other guidance issued by the Treasury. Further, the application of the excise tax in respect of distributions pursuant to a liquidation of a publicly traded U.S. corporation is uncertain and has not been addressed by the Treasury in regulations, and it is possible that the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be used to pay any excise tax owed by the Company in the event the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination in the required time and redeem 100% of the remaining Class A common stock in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in which case the amount that would otherwise be received by the public stockholders in connection with the Company’s liquidation would be reduced.

Investment Company Act 1940

Under the current rules and regulations of the SEC we are not deemed an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act; however, on March 30, 2022, the SEC proposed new rules (the “Proposed Rules”) relating, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs such as the Company could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. The Proposed Rules provide a safe harbor for companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria. To comply with the duration limitation of the proposed safe harbor, a SPAC would have a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the Proposed Rules would require a company to file a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for an initial Business Combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of the SPAC’s registration statement for its IPO. The Company would then be required to complete its initial Business Combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of such registration statement. There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including this Company. Although the Company entered into a definitive Business Combination agreement within 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement relating to the IPO,

there is a risk that the Company may not complete an initial Business Combination within 24 months of such date. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made that the Company have been operating as an unregistered investment company. If the Company were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, the Company may be forced to abandon its efforts to complete an initial Business Combination and instead be required to liquidate. If the Company is required to liquidate, the investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning stock in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of our stock and warrants following such a transaction.

The Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer which (i) is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities; (ii) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of issuing face-amount certificates of the installment type, or has been engaged in such business and has any such certificate outstanding; or (iii) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities, and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of Government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. The Company has assess its primary line of business and the value of its investment securities as compared to the value of total assets to determine whether the Company may be deemed an investment company. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in money market funds, there is a greater risk that the Company may be considered an unregistered investment company. As a result, the Company has switched all funds to cash, will likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account after such time, which would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of our Company. Currently, the funds in the Trust Account are held in a demand deposit account and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the period presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2023.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period through December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on April 11, 2023. The balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 contained herein has been derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2022, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (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 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 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.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited 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 unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Significant estimates include assumptions made in the valuation of our Private Placement Warrants. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.

Offering Costs related to the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC Subtopic 340-10-S99-1, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through June 30, 2023 that were directly related to the IPO. Upon consummation of the IPO, offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the IPO on a relative fair value basis compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with the Private Warrant liability were expensed as incurred and presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the shares of common stock were charged to temporary equity (common stock subject to possible redemption) upon the completion of the IPO.

Anchor Investors and Other Investors

The Company complies with SAB Topic 5A to account for the valuation of the Founder Shares acquired by the Anchor Investors and Other Investors. The Founder Shares acquired by the Anchor Investors and Other Investors represent a capital contribution for the benefit of the Company and are recorded as offering costs and reflected as a reduction in the proceeds from the offering and offering expenses in accordance with ASC 470 and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. As such, upon sale of the Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors and the granting of the Founder Shares to the Other Investors the valuation of these shares was recognized as a deferred offering cost and charged to temporary equity and the statement of operations based on the relative fair value basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s cash and current liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, due to their short-term nature.

Fair value is defined as the price which would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Fair Value of Trust Account

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the assets in the Trust Account were held in a demand deposit account at a bank and money market fund with a broker, respectively. These financial assets were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value of Warrant Liability

The Company accounted for the 7,306,000 warrants issued in connection with the IPO and private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” whereby under that provision, the Private Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as a liability and the Public Warrants met the criteria for equity treatment. Accordingly, the Company classified the Private Warrants as a liability at fair value upon issuance and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is re-measured at each balance sheet date until the Private Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in the Company’s statements of operations.

Fair Value of Shares and Private Placement Units acquired by Instant Fame

On October 20, 2022, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement between IF and the Sellers, Management of the Company determined the fair value of the shares and private placement units acquired to be $1,453,900. The excess value of the shares and private placement units acquired of $1,253,900 is reported as a component of stockholders’ equity.

Common Stock Subject to Redemption

shares of common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s shares of common stock sold as part of 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, shares of common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at their net carrying value and classified as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. The initial carrying value of the common stock subject to redemption is recorded at an amount equal to the proceeds of the public offering ($69,000,000) less (i) the fair value of the public warrants ($5,796,000) and less (ii) offering costs allocable to the common stock sold as part of the units in the public offering ($8,712,864). In accordance with the alternative methods described in ASC Subtopic 480-10-S99-3A(15), “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities.” The Company has made an accounting policy election to accrete changes in the difference between the initial carrying amount and the redemption amount ($10.10 per share) over the period form the IPO date to the expected redemption date. For purposes of accretion, the Company has estimated that it will take 15 months for a Business Combination to occur and accordingly will accrete the carrying amount to the redemption value using the effective interest method over that period. Such changes are reflected in additional paid in capital, or in the absence of additional paid-in capital, in accumulated deficit.

In December 2022, the Company changed the methodology on a go-forward basis to recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in-capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded an increase in the redemption value of $942,346 because of earnings on the Trust Account and additional deposits that exceed amounts payable for taxes. While the Company may use earnings on the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, $357,010 has been withdrawn by the Company from the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations.

In March 2023 in connection with the Special Meeting, stockholders holding a total of 3,960,387 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $41,077,199 (approximately $10.37201 per share) was removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company has 5,463,613 shares outstanding.

On June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the common stock reflected in the balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:


Common stock subject to possible redemption on December 31, 2022	$	70,973,384
Less:
Redemptions from Trust Account		(41,077,199	)
Plus:
Remeasurement of shares subject to redemption		497,072
Common stock subject to possible redemption on March 31, 2023	$	30,393,257
Plus:
Remeasurement of shares subject to redemption		445,274
Common stock subject to possible redemption on June 30, 2023	$	30,838,531

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

For purposes of calculating diluted loss per common stock, the denominator includes both the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents is dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents potentially include shares and warrants using the treasury stock method.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 7,306,000 warrants were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation since the exercise price of the warrants is greater than the average market price of the common stock. As a result, this would have been anti-dilutive and therefore net loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

Reconciliation of Loss per Share of Common Stock

Basic and diluted loss per share for common stock is calculated as follows:


	Three months ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023			2022			2023			2022
Loss per share of common stock:
Net Loss	$	(239,409	)	$	(146,322	)	$	(50,696	)	$	(236,066	)

Weighted Average Shares of common stock		5,463,613			9,424,000			6,929,613			9,424,000
Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.02	)	$	(0.01	)	$	(0.03	)

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements 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. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. The Company’s effective tax rate was (55.6)% and 0.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 123.5% and 0.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, due to state taxes and changes in the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s 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 June 30, 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.

The Company has identified the United States and the State of California as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company complies with ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation regarding Founder Shares granted to directors and an officer of the Company. The acquired shares shall vest upon the Company consummating an initial Business Combination (the “Vesting Date”). The Founder Shares owned by the directors or officer (1) may not be sold or transferred, until one year after the consummation of a Business Combination, (2) not be entitled to redemption from the funds held in the Trust Account, or any liquidating distributions. The Company has until October 14, 2023 (as extended) to consummate a Business Combination, and if a Business Combination is not consummated, the Company will liquidate and the shares will become worthless.

The Founder Shares were issued on September 8, 2021, and the Founder Shares vest, not upon a fixed date, but upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Since the approach in ASC 718 is to determine the fair value without regard to the vesting date, the Company has determined the valuation of the Founder Shares as of September 8, 2021. The valuation resulted in a fair value of $7.48 per share as of September 8, 2021, or an aggregate of $972,400 for the 130,000 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares were granted at no cost to the recipients. The excess fair value over the amount paid is $972,400, which is the amount of share-based compensation expense which the Company will recognize upon consummation of an initial business combination.

Note 3— Initial Public Offering

On September 14, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO and sold 6,900,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, which was inclusive of the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000. Each Unit that the Company sold had a price of $10.00 and consisted of one share of common stock, one warrant to purchase one share of common stock and one right. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each warrant will become exercisable on the completion of the initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Each right entitles the holder to buy one tenth of one share of common stock. The common stock, warrants and rights comprising the Units have begun separate trading. At the time that the common stock, warrants and rights comprising the Units began separate trading, holders will hold the separate securities and no longer hold Units (without any action needing to be taken by the holders), and the Units will no longer trade.

All of the 6,900,000 shares of common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

Note 4—Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Units, the Company sold 181,000 Private Placement Units to certain investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,460,000 and issued an additional 225,000 Private Placement Units to a Sponsor in exchange for the cancellation of approximately $1,105,000 in loans and a promissory note due to them. Each Private Placement Unit consisted of one share of common stock, one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share and one right.

On October 20, 2022, pursuant to the SPA, the new Sponsors acquired an aggregate of 385,000 shares of common stock and 90,000 private placement units of the Company from the Sellers in a private transaction. Management of the Company determined the fair value of the shares and private placement units acquired to be $1,453,900. The excess value of the shares and private placement units acquired of $1,253,900 is reported as a component of stockholders’ equity.

Note 5— Promissory Note to Evie Autonomous LTD

On April 19, 2023, May 12, 2023, and June 14, 2023 the Company issued unsecured promissory notes to Evie Autonomous LTD with a principal amount of $436,040 (the “Evie Autonomous Extension Notes”). The Evie Autonomous Extension Notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Deadline Date, the Evie Autonomous Extension Notes will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

Note 6—Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

In February 2021, the Sponsors subscribed for 2,875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for $28,750, or $0.01 per share, in connection with formation. In June 2021, 1,437,500 shares of the Founder Shares were re-purchased by the Company for a total of $14,375. In connection with the upsize of the IPO, on June 10, 2021, an additional 287,500 Founder Shares were issued via a 20% stock dividend, resulting in total Founder Shares outstanding of 1,725,000. All share amounts and related figures were retroactively adjusted.

In March 2021, Suresh Yezhuvath granted an aggregate of 16,668 Founder Shares to other investors (“Other Investors”) at no costs.

On October 20, 2022, pursuant to an SPA, the new Sponsor acquired an aggregate of 385,000 shares of common stock of the Company from Bannix Management LLP, Balaji Venugopal Bhat, Nicholos Hellyer, Subbanarasimhaiah Arun, Vishant Vora and Suresh Yezhuvath and 90,000 private placement units from Suresh Yezhuvath (collectively, the “Sellers”) in a private transaction.

The Sponsors, new Sponsors, Other Investors, Anchor Investors, directors and officer have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. The Company refers to such transfer restrictions as the “lock-up”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 3,961,500 non-redeemable shares outstanding owned or controlled by the Sponsors, new Sponsors, Other Investors, Anchor Investors, directors and officers.

Working Capital Loans – Sponsors and New Sponsors

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the new Sponsors or an affiliate of the new Sponsors or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the loans. On June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no loans outstanding under the working capital loan program.

Pre-IPO Loans – Sponsors

Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company entered into an additional loan agreement with Yezhuvath to finance the expenses associated with preparing for the IPO as follows:

The Company entered into a loan agreement with Yezhuvath with the following terms:

1.	The Company borrowed approximately $805,000 under the loan agreement as follows:
a.	Deferred offering costs of $50,000 were directly paid by the Sponsor.
b.	The Company repurchased treasury stock of $7,375 from the Sponsor.
c.	Proceeds of approximately $747,625 was received directly into the Company from the Sponsor.
2.	Advances under the loan agreement are unsecured and do not bear interest.

3.	Following the consummation of the IPO, the loan was repaid/forfeited as follows:
a.	Against the first approximate $1,030,000 of the note and loan agreement (inclusive of the $300,000 note discussed above), 210,000 Private Placement Units were issued.
b.	Against the next $75,000 of loan, 15,000 Private Placement Units were issued.

Yezhuvath agreed to make an additional loan to the Company of $225,000 pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment which would only be drawn down at the time of the Business Combination. The proceeds would be used to pay a portion of the incremental underwriting discount on the over-allotment shares which the underwriter has agreed to defer the receipt of until a Business Combination is consummated. Yezhuvath has agreed to forgive this amount without any additional securities being issued against it.

Due to Related Parties

The balance on June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 in Due to Related Parties totaled $1,182,850 and $1,002,850, respectively, consists of the following transactions:

On December 13, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in favor of Instant Fame, in the principal amount of $690,000. In March and April 2023 the Company issued additional unsecured promissory notes to Instant Fame for $75,000 for each promissory note. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $840,000 and $690,000 outstanding on these promissory notes.

The promissory notes are non-interest bearing and repayable on the consummation of a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated the promissory notes will not be repaid and all amounts owed hereunder will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of the Trust Account.

Administrative Support Agreement

The Company has agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of the management team, in the amount of $5,000 per month. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, it will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and six months period ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had incurred $15,000 and $30,000 pursuant to the agreement, respectively.

Note 7—Commitments

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of related party loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of this offering. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company registers such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company.

Underwriters Agreement

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of $225,000 payable to the underwriters by a Sponsor solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a Business Combination marketing fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the sale of Units in the IPO upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

The Company issued the underwriter (and/or its designees) (the “Representative”) 393,000 shares of common stock for $0.01 per share (the “Representative Shares”) upon the consummation of the IPO. The Company accounted for the estimated fair value ($2,861,000) of the Representative Shares as an offering cost of the IPO and allocated such cost against temporary equity for the amount allocated to the redeemable shares and to expense for the allocable portion relating to the warrant liability. These shares of common stock issued to the underwriter are subject to an agreement in which the underwriter has agreed (i) not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, the underwriter (and/or its designees) has agreed (i) to waives its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such shares if it fails to complete the Business Combination by June 14, 2023. Accordingly, the fair value of such shares is included in stockholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Representative has not yet paid for these shares, and the amount owed of $3,930 and $3,930, respectively, are included in prepaid expenses on the condensed balance sheets.

Excise Tax

In connection with the vote to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal, holders of 3,960,387 shares of Common Stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares of Common Stock for an aggregate redemption amount of $41,077,199. As such the Company has recorded a 1% excise tax liability in the amount of $410,772 on the condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2023. The liability does not impact the condensed statements of operations and is offset against additional paid-in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid-in capital is not available.

This excise tax liability can be offset by future share issuances within the same fiscal year which will be evaluated and adjusted in the period in which the issuances occur. Should the Company liquidate prior to December 31, 2023, the excise tax liability will not be due.

Other Investors

Other Investors were granted an aggregate of 16,668 Founder Shares at no costs from Suresh Yezhuvath in March 2021. The Company valued the Founder Shares at approximately $0.65 per share or $10,834 in the aggregate at the date of the grant.

The Other Investors have not been granted any stockholder or other rights that are in addition to those granted to the Company’s other public stockholders. The Other Investors will have no rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares held by them. The Other Investors will have the same rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the common stock underlying the Units they purchase at the IPO as the rights afforded to the Company’s other public stockholders.

Anchor Investors

The Anchor Investors entered into separate letter agreements with the Company and the Sponsors pursuant to which, subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Anchor Investors purchased, upon the closing of the IPO on September 14, 2021, 181,000 Private Placement Units and 762,500 Founder Shares on September 9, 2021 (“Anchor Shares” in the total). The Company valued the Founder Shares at $7.48 per share at the date of the purchase.

The Anchor Investors have not been granted any stockholder or other rights that are in addition to those granted to the Company’s other public stockholders and purchased the Founder Shares for nominal consideration with an excess of the fair value of $3,244,453. Each Anchor Investor has agreed in its individually negotiated letter agreement entered into with the Company to vote its Anchor Shares to approve the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Anchor Investors will have no rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Anchor Shares held by them. The Anchor Investors will have the same rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the common stock underlying the Units they purchase at the IPO (excluding the common stock included in the Private Placement Units purchased) as the rights afforded to the Company’s other public stockholders.

Treasury Stock — On June 21, 2021 the Sponsors agreed to deliver the Company 1,437,500 shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Sponsors. The amount payable to Yezhuvath of $7,735 was repaid as part of the Private Placement Units issued to him (see Note 5) and the amount of $7,000 payable to Bannix Management LLP is included in Due to Related Parties as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Rights — Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in the Business Combination, each holder of a right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock upon consummation of the Business Combination, even if the holder of a right converted all shares held by him, her or it in connection with the Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to its pre-Business Combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of the Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive his, her or its additional share of common stock upon consummation of 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 the rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of shares of common stock will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into common stock basis.

Note 9 — Warrant Liability

The Company accounted for the 7,306,000 warrants issued in connection with the IPO and private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” whereby under that provision, the Private Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classified the Private Warrants as a liability at fair value and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is re-measured at each balance sheet date until the Private Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Private Warrants was estimated using a modified Black-Scholes model. The valuation models utilize inputs such as assumed share prices, volatility, discount factors and other assumptions and may not be reflective of the price at which they can be settled. Such Private Warrant classification is also subject to re-evaluation at each reporting period. The Public Warrants met the classification for equity treatment.

Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s Sponsors or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Company’s Sponsors or its affiliates, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the Market Value, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the Market Value.

The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 12 months from the closing of this offering or upon completion of its initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Redemption of warrants

The Company may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the private warrants, and any warrants underlying Units issued to the Sponsors, initial stockholders, officers, directors or their affiliates in payment of related party loans made to the Company), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

●	at any time while the warrants are exercisable,

●	upon not less than 30 days prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder,

●	if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations), for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders, and

●	if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the issuance of the shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day until the date of redemption.

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 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 common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock 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 common stock 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.

If the Company is unable to complete an initial 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 respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Note 10—Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date of the filing of this report. The Company did not identify any subsequent events, other than noted below, that would have required adjustment or disclosure in these unaudited condensed financial statements.

Promissory Notes

On August 4, 2023 and August 8, 2023, the Company issued to Evie Group unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $189,975 (the “Notes”). The Notes bears no interest and are repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Deadline Date, the Notes will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

In accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, on September 18, 2023 and in consideration of $100,000, the Company issued to EVIE Group, an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000 (the “September Note”). The September Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by the Deadline Date, the September Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

Deadline Date and Trust Account Funding

On July 12, 2023, the Board, at the request of the Sponsor, decided to implement a fifth Extension with a deposit of $75,000 in the Trust Account and to extend the Deadline Date for an additional month to August 14, 2023. On August 14, 2023, the Board, at the request of the Sponsor, determined to implement a sixth Extension with a deposit of $75,000 in the Trust Account and to extend the Deadline Date for an additional month to September 14, 2023. On September 14, 2023 the Board, at the request of the Sponsor, determined to implement a seventh Extension and to extend the Deadline Date for an additional month to October 14, 2023. The $75,000 for the seventh Extension was provided by Evie Autonomous Ltd., which was previously funded to the Company in August 2023.

Sponsor Letter Agreement

On August 7, 2023, Instant Fame entered into a sponsor letter agreement with the Company, whereby Instant Fame agree to, among other things, support and vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and use its reasonable best efforts to take all other actions necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

Transaction Support Agreement

On August 7, 2023, Evie Group entered into a transaction support agreement pursuant to which Evie Group’s shareholder agreed to, among other things, support and provide any necessary votes in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and ancillary agreements.

Patent Purchase Agreement

On August 8, 2023 the Company entered into a Patent Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with GBT Tokenize Corp. (“Tokenize”), which is 50% owned of GBT, which provided its consent, to acquire the entire right, title, and interest of certain patents and patent applications providing an intellectual property basis for a machine learning driven technology that controls radio wave transmissions, analyzes their reflections data, and constructs 2D/3D images of stationary and in motion objects, (the “Patents”). The closing date of the PPA will immediately follow the closing of the Transaction described in the Proposed Business Combination Agreement. The Purchase Price is set at 5% of the consideration that the Company is paying to the shareholders of Evie Group under the Business Combination Agreement (“BCA”). The BCA sets the consideration to be paid by the Company at $850 million and, in turn, the consideration in the PPA to be paid to Tokenize is $42.5 million.

The Company and Tokenize agree that the final Purchase Price at closing will be equal to 5% of the total consideration that the Company is paying under the BCA to the Evie Group Shareholder. If the final Purchase Price is less than $30 million, Tokenize has the option to cancel the PPA. In accordance therewith, the Company agrees to pay, issue and deliver to Tokenize, $42,500,000 in series a preferred stock to Tokenize, which such terms will be more fully set forth in the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation to be filed with the Secretary of State prior to the Closing Date. The Series A Preferred Stock will have stated value of $1,000 per share and is convertible, at the option of the Seller, into shares of common stock of Purchaser at a 5% discount to the VWAP during the 20 trading days prior to conversion, and in any event not less than $1.00. The Series A Preferred Stock will not have voting rights and will be entitled to dividends only in the event of liquidation. The Series A Preferred Stock will have a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.

Series A Preferred Stock and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) shall be subject to a lock-up beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the earliest of (i) the six (6) months after such date, (ii) a Change in Control, or (iii) written consent of Purchaser (the “Seller Lockup Period”).

Nasdaq Notice

On August 22, 2023, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that because the Company has not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

This notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq. However, if the Company fails to timely regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule, the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 60 calendar days to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, then Nasdaq may grant the Company up to 180 days from the prescribed due date for filing the Form 10-K to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

The Company is working diligently and expects to file the Form 10-Q within the 60-day period described above, which would eliminate the need for the Company to submit a formal plan to regain compliance.

New Auditors

On September 7, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved the engagement of RBSM LLP (“RBSM”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, effective September 7, 2023. In connection with the selection of RBSM, the Company dismissed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on September 8, 2023.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on January 21, 2021 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On September 14, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 6,900,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”). The units sold included the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment. Each Unit consists of one share of our common stock (the “Public Shares”), one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $11.50 per share and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of our common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the over-allotment, we consummated the issuance of 406,000 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”) as follows: we sold 181,000 Private Placement Units to certain investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,460,000 and issued an additional 225,000 private placement units to our Sponsor in exchange for the cancellation of $1,105,000 in loans and a promissory note due to them. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of our common stock, one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of our common stock upon the consummation of our Business Combination. Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating our Business Combination.

Upon the closing of the initial public offering on September 14, 2021, a total of $69,690,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO, the Over-Allotment and the Private Placement were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of our public stockholders.

The Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders on March 8, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the stockholder approved the filing of an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Extension Amendment”), to extend the date (the “Extension”) by which the Company must (1) complete a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (an “initial business combination”), (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial business combination, and (3) redeem 100% of the Company’s common stock (“common stock”) included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on September 14, 2021 (the “IPO”), from March 14, 2023, and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to further extend the date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis up to twelve (12) times by an additional one (1) month each time after March 14, 2023 or later extended deadline date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), if requested by Instant Fame upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline date, until March 14, 2024, or a total of up to twelve (12) months after March 14, 2023 (such date as extended, the “Deadline Date”), unless the closing of a business combination shall have occurred prior thereto. The stockholders also approved an amendment (the “Trust Amendment”) to the Company’s Investment Management Trust Agreement dated as of September 10 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”) by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) incorporating the terms as set forth in the Extension Amendment.

We extended the deadline by which we must complete a business combination from December 14, 2022 to March 14, 2023 with deposits of $690,000 in the Trust Account. From January 1, 2023 to the filing of this Form 10-Q, we have deposited $525,000 into the Trust Account to extend the deadline by which we must complete a business combination to October 14, 2023. In order to fund deposits required to allow for such extension, we obtained loans from Instant Fame, LLC and Evie Group evidenced by non-interest-bearing promissory notes that are payable upon the consummation of a business combination by us. If we fail to consummate a business combination, the outstanding debt under the promissory notes will be forgiven, except to the extent of any funds held outside of the trust account after paying all other fees and expenses of the Company.

If we have not completed our initial business combination by October 14, 2023, as extended, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

In connection with the vote on the Trust Amendment and the Extension Amendment at the Special Meeting on May 8, 2023, stockholders holding a total of 3,960,387 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account. As a result, $41,077,199 (approximately $10.37201 per share) was removed from the Company’s trust account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company has 5,463,613 shares outstanding.

Propose Business Combination

On April 17, 2023, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) with Evie and on May 8, 2023, Evie Group became a successor entity for the proposed Business Combination.

On June 23, 2023, the Company, Evie Group, and the shareholder of the Evie Group Shareholder), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent in the Business Combination Agreement, the following transactions will occur: the acquisition by Bannix of all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Evie Group from the Evie Group Shareholder in exchange for the issuance of eighty-five million new shares of common stock of Bannix, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to which Evie Group will become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Bannix (the “Share Acquisition”) and (b) the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents referred to therein (collectively, the “Transactions”).

Sponsor Support Agreement

We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial business combination will be successful.

On May 10, 2023, we engaged a law firm to assist with the proposed Business Combination with Evie Group. We agreed to pay $30,000 upon entering into the agreement, $70,000 upon Evie Group signing a definitive business combination agreement and the remaining $500,000 is contingent upon the closing of the Business Combination with Evie Group.

On May 19, 2023, we entered into an Executive Retention Agreement with Mr. Davis, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors, providing for an at-will employment arrangement that may be terminated by either party at any time, which provides for the payment of an annual salary of $240,000 to Mr. Davis. Additionally, we entered into a letter agreement with Subash Menon, a director of the Company, for services in connection with the review and advice pertaining to the proposed acquisition of Evie providing for a payment in the amount of $200,000 upon the closing of a Business Combination.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to June 30, 2023 was in preparation for our initial public offering and since the initial public offering, the search for a suitable business combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination, at the earliest.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $239,409, which consisted of interest income on the trust account of $340,353, partially offset by operating costs of $490,123, a change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $4,060, and provision for income taxes of $85,579.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $50,696, which consisted of interest income on the trust account of $1,023,275, offset by operating costs of $803,653, the change in fair value of private warrant liability of $4,060, and provision for income taxes of $266,258.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $146,322, which consisted of operating costs of $257,312, offset by an unrealized gain from the change in fair value of Private Warrant liability of $64,960, and interest income on the trust account of $46,030.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $236,066, which consisted of formation and operating costs of $442,192, offset by an unrealized gain from the change in fair value of Private Warrant liability of $158,340, and interest income on the trust account of $47,786.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2023, we had $129,264 in cash and a working capital deficit of $2,319,706, excluding taxes payable from the Trust Account.

Our liquidity needs up to June 30, 2023 had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the Sponsors of $28,750 for common stock and from loans from a Sponsor and related parties in order to pay offering costs and operating expenses. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our sponsors or an affiliate of our sponsors or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us working capital loans. As of June 30, 2023, there was $1,618,890 owed to Sponsors and related parties and no other amounts outstanding under any working capital loans. Included in the $1,618,890 owed to Sponsors and related parties are Promissory Notes to Instant Fame and Evie for $840,000 and $436,040, respectively, for working capital purposes and to fund the trust account for the extension of the date by which we must consummate an initial Business Combination or liquidate.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that we may not have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination. Over this time period, the Company will be using the funds in the operating bank account to pay existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of the date of the filing of this report. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations, we had until December 14, 2022 to consummate a Business Combination. The Company has extended the deadline by which the Company must complete a business combination, from December 14, 2022 to March 14, 2023 with additional funding in the Trust Account which was again extended on a monthly basis to October 14, 2023. In order to fund the deposits required to allow for such extension (“extension funds”), the Company has obtained loans from Instant Fame and Evie Group evidenced by non-interest-bearing promissory notes that are payable upon the consummation of a business combination by the Company.

It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by that time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. We have determined that the insufficient funds to meet the operating needs of the Company through the liquidation date as well as the mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of these 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

Fair Value of Warrant Liability

The Company accounted for the Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the IPO and private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” whereby under that provision, the Private Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classified the Private Warrants as a liability at fair value and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is re-measured at each balance sheet date until the Private Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. The Public Warrants are classified as equity.

Common Stock Subject to Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock 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 and subsequently measured at redemption value. At all other times, shares of common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s shares of common stock sold as part of 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, all shares of common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at their net carrying value and classified as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. The initial carrying value of the common stock subject to redemption is recorded at an amount equal to the proceeds of the public offering less (i) the fair value of the public warrants and less (ii) offering costs allocable to the common stock sold as part of the units in the public offering. In accordance with the alternative methods described in ASC Subtopic 480-10-S99-3A(15), “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities.” the Company has made an accounting policy election to accrete changes in the difference between the initial carrying amount and the redemption amount ($10.10 per share) over the period form the IPO date to the expected redemption date. For purposes of accretion, the Company has estimated that it will take 15 months for a business combination to occur and accordingly will accrete the carrying amount to the redemption value using the effective interest method over that period. Such changes are reflected in additional paid in capital, or in the absence of additional paid-in capital, in accumulated deficit.

In December 2022 the Company changed the methodology on a go-forward basis to recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in-capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on September 10, 2021, the holders of the founder shares, the private placement units and private placement units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the closing date of this offering requiring us to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriters Agreement

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of $225,000 in the aggregate which will be payable to the underwriters from the amounts to be brought in by the sponsors solely in the event that we complete a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Additionally, the underwriters will be entitled to a business combination marketing fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the sale of Units in the initial public offering held in the trust account upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting of complex financial instruments, fair value measurements, prepaid expense, income and franchise taxes and legal and professional fees.

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 team, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

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.

Material Weakness

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. On April 12, 2021, the staff of the SEC (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. In light of the SEC Staff Statement, the Company’s management reevaluated the terms of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (together, the “warrants”), and determined that the Public Warrants should be classified as a component of equity. Our Private Placement Warrants were correctly reported as a liability measured at fair value upon issuance, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in earnings each reporting period.

Additionally, management evaluated the impacts of the transfer of shares to Anchor Investors. The transfer of shares to the Anchor Investors were fair valued as of the grant date and that fair value was allocated to the offering costs of the Company.

Associated with the reclassification of the Public Warrants to equity and the valuation of the Anchor Investor shares, the allocation of offering costs was re-allocated.

Additionally, we had a misstatement in our prepaid expense, income and franchise taxes and legal fees.

As a result of these reevaluations, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for complex financial instruments and fair value measurements and the failure to properly design the financial closing and reporting process to record, review and monitor compliance with generally accepted accounting principles for transactions on a timely basis.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are in the process of implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting to remediate our material weakness, as more fully described above. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

As described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s accounting and reporting of complex financial instruments. As a result of this material weakness, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2023. See Part I. Item 4. Controls and Procedures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have taken measures to remediate the material weaknesses described herein. However, if we are unable to remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner or we identify additional material weaknesses, we may be unable to provide required financial information in a timely and reliable manner and we may incorrectly report financial information. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our common stock are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. The existence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of us, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our shares. We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. Even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

Changes in laws or regulations or how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws or 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. 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.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules relating to, among other items, disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs (defined below) and private operating companies; the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities. These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in a revised form, may increase the costs of and the time needed to negotiate and complete an initial business combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete an initial business combination.

We may be subject to the 1% excise tax instituted under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in connection with redemptions we conduct after December 31, 2022.

repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

Any redemption or other repurchase we conduct after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by us and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination or otherwise inhibit our ability to complete a Business Combination.
