Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 10,000,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit on November 23, 2020, for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000,000. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value, one Right to receive one-twentieth (1/20) of one share of common stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). In connection with the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option on November 25, 2020, the Company sold an additional 1,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 7). Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. However, if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination on or prior to June 26, 2024, assuming all remaining one-month extensions are utilized, the Warrants will expire worthless at the end of such period.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

 

Founder Shares

 

In June 2020, the Sponsor purchased 100 shares of common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On July 15, 2020, the Sponsor effected a 28,750-for-1 forward stock split and, as a result, our initial shareholders held 2,875,000 Founder Shares as of the date of our initial public offering.

 

The 2,875,000 Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 375,000 shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor does not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering). As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, 375,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments, as described in Note 6.

 

The Sponsor and each holder of Founder Shares have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Company’s 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 a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

 

The Company had agreed with each of its four independent directors (the “Directors”) subsequent to incorporation of the Company to provide them the right to each purchase 25,000 Founder Shares with a par value of $0.0001 of the Company from Breeze Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”). The Directors each exercised their right in full on July 6, 2021 and purchased 100,000 shares (25,000 per each Director) of the Founder Shares from Sponsor for a total of $10 in the aggregate. Sponsor has agreed to transfer 15,000 shares of its common stock to each of the Directors upon the closing of a Business Combination by the Company, with such shares currently beneficially owned by Sponsor.

 

The sale or allocation of the Founder Shares to the Company’s Directors, as described above, is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718 stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 100,000 shares purchased by the Company’s Directors was $401,000 or $4.01 per share. The compensation expense related to these share purchases was recorded in full on the grant date of July 6, 2021 for a total of $401,000.

 

Administrative Support Agreement

 

The Company entered into an agreement whereby, commencing on November 23, 2020 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, the Company will pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $5,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred and paid $15,000 in fees for these services. For the year ending December 31, 2023 the Company incurred $60,000 in fees for these services of which such amounts are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Related Party Loans

   

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,000,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. However, all working capital promissory notes specifically state that the Sponsor has elected not to convert. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loan.

On February 1, 2022 (as amended), the Company signed a Promissory Note with Sponsor, with a Maturity Date of March 26, 2023, for a total of up to $1,500,000. On October 1, 2022, the Company signed an Amended Promissory Note with Sponsor, with a Maturity Date of September 26, 2023 for a total of up to $4,000,000.

On March 1, 2024, the Company signed an Amended Promissory Note with Sponsor, with a Maturity Date of June 26, 2024 for a total of up to $7,000,000. As of March 31, 2024, the amount outstanding under this Promissory Note was $5,242,109 for direct working capital, and $845,549 for monthly SPAC extension funds the Sponsor deposited into the Trust Account during the months of September 2022 through March 2024 for a total of $6,087,658 from Sponsor. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or (ii) June 26, 2024. The Company additionally owes the Sponsor $196,717 for expenses paid by Sponsor on behalf of the Company. The total amount owed to the Sponsor as of March 31, 2024 is $8,584,375. 

 

The Company had 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to consummate its initial Business Combination. However, by resolution of its board, requested by the Sponsor, the Company extended the period of time to consummate a Business Combination two times, each by an additional three months (for a total of up to 18 months to complete a Business Combination). The Sponsor deposited additional funds into the Trust Account in order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate its initial Business Combination. The Sponsor deposited into the Trust Account for each three-month extension, $1,150,000 ($0.10 per share) on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline.  On September 13, 2022, the Company held its annual stockholders’ meeting and approved the Company to extend the date of September 26, 2022, up to six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time (ultimately until as late as March 26, 2023). For each one-month extension on September 26, October 26, November 26, December 26, 2022, January 25, 2023 and February 23, 2023 $59,157 ($0.035 per share) per extension, up to an aggregate of $354,942, or approximately $0.21 per share. The Company held a meeting of its stockholders on March 22, 2023 where the Company’s stockholders approved the Company to extend the date of March 26, 2023, up to six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time (ultimately until as late as September 26, 2023).  For each one-month extension through September 26, 2023, the Sponsor deposited into the Trust Account $41,317 ($0.035 per share) on March 30, 2023. April 25, 2023, May 25, 2023, June 26, 2023, August 2, 2023 and August 28, 2023. The Company held a meeting of its stockholders on September 22, 2023 where the Company’s stockholders approved (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s A&R COI to authorize the Company to extend the date of September 26, 2023, up to nine (9) times for an additional one (1) month each time (ultimately until as late as June 26, 2024), and (ii) a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to authorize the Extension and its implementation by the Company. For each one-month extension the Company will deposit $40,575 ($0.035 per share) into the Trust Account. On September 27, 2023, Breeze executed the thirteenth one-month extension through October 26, 2023. On October 24, 2023, November 26, 2023, December 27, 2023, January 26, 2024, February 27, 2024, March 26, 2024 and April 26, 2024 Breeze executed the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth one-month extension through May 26, 2024. The payments were made in the form of a loan. The loans are non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. If the Company completes an initial Business Combination, it will repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to it. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, it will not repay such loans. Furthermore, the letter agreement with the Company’s initial stockholders contains a provision pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to waive its right to be repaid for such loans out of the funds held in the Trust Account in the event that the Company does not complete a Business Combination.

 

Representative and Consultant Shares

 

Pursuant to the underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between the Company and I-Bankers Securities (the “Representative”), on November 23, 2020, the Company issued to the Representative and its designee 250,000 shares of common stock and separately agreed to issue the Company’s Consultant 15,000 shares of common stock for nominal consideration in a private placement intended to be exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Act. In August 2021, the Company issued to the Consultant such Consultant Shares. The Company accounted for the Representative Shares and Consultant Shares as a deferred offering cost of the Initial Public Offering. Accordingly, the offering cost was allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the Warrants were expensed immediately in the statement of operations, while offering costs allocated to the redeemable Public Shares were deferred and subsequently charged to temporary stockholders' equity following the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

In 2020, the Company estimated and recorded the fair value of the Representative Shares and Consultant Shares to be $1,322,350 based upon the price of the common stock issued ($4.99 per share) to the Representative and Consultant. The holders of the Representative Shares and Consultant Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the later of (i) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and 180 days pursuant to FINRA Conduct Rule 5110(e)(1) following the effective date of the Registration Statement to anyone other than (i) the Representative or an underwriter or selected dealer in connection with the Offering, or (ii) a bona fide officer or partner of the Representative or of any such underwriter or selected dealer. Additionally, pursuant to FINRA Conduct Rule 5110(e), the Representative Shares and Consultant Shares will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the Registration Statement.

 

In addition, the holders of Representative Shares and Consultant Shares have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the time specified in the certificate of incorporation.

 

 

Note 6 — Commitments

Registration and Stockholder Rights

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

Underwriting Agreement

 

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On November 25, 2020, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit.

Overview

 

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 11, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our business combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

 

As indicated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $4,487 and $4,228 in cash, respectively, and a working capital deficit of $8,985,992 and $7,849,292, respectively (excluding prepaid income taxes, prepaid franchise taxes and excise tax payable). We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial business combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

 

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from June 11, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2024 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account, and changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $22,015,739, which consisted of a loss of $21,132,500 in the fair value of warrant liabilities and operating costs of $1,047,041, offset by interest income of $169,580 on our Trust Account.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $654,261, which consisted of operating costs of $890,129, offset by a gain of $169,250 in the fair value of warrant liabilities and interest income of $68,327 on our Trust Account.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On November 25, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (including 1,500,000 units from the full exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option), generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 5,425,000 private placement warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $5,425,000.

 

Following the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the private placement warrants, a total of $116,725,000 was placed in the trust account. We incurred $4,099,907 in transaction costs, including $2,300,000 of underwriting fees, $1,322,350 of representative share offering costs, and $477,557 of other offering costs.

 

As of March 31, 2024, we had cash held in an interest-bearing trust account of $13,268,833. On May 5, 2022, the Company held a stockholders’ meeting at which a proposal to approve the extension of time to consummate the closing of a Business Combination Agreement to September 26, 2022 was approved. The Company provided its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares at the time of this stockholders’ meeting. The stockholders who elected to redeem their shares did so for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.35 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. In connection with the extension proposal, 6,732,987 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed for $69,700,628, (the “Redemption”). On May 10, 2022, $109,000 was withdrawn from the Trust Account for payment of franchise and income taxes.

 

On September 13, 2022, the Company held its annual stockholders’ meeting at which a proposal to approve the extension of time to consummate the closing of a Business Combination Agreement to March 26, 2023 was approved. The Company provided its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares at the time of this stockholders’ meeting. The stockholders who elected to redeem their shares did so for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.35 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. In connection with the extension proposal, 3,076,817 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed for $31,845,056 with 1,690,196 shares remaining. On September 8, 2022, $122,247 was withdrawn from the Trust Account for payment of franchise and income taxes.

 

At the annual meeting of the Company held on September 13, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “A&R COI”) to authorize the Company to extend the date of September 26, 2022, up to six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time (ultimately until as late as March 26, 2023) by which the Company must (a) consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination, which we refer to as our initial business combination, or (b) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial business combination, and redeem all of the shares of common stock of the Company included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on November 25, 2020, and (ii) a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to authorize the Extension and its implementation by the Company. The amended Trust Agreement  authorizes the Company’s Board of Directors to extend the time to complete the Business Combination up to six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time (for a maximum of six one-month extensions), upon the deposit into the Trust Account of $0.035 for each outstanding public share by the Sponsor or its designees on or prior to September 26, 2022 or such other date as may be extended.  Breeze executed its first one-month extension of September 26, 2022 depositing $59,157 in the Trust Account.

The Company held a meeting of its stockholders on March 22, 2023 where the Company’s stockholders approved (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s A&R COI to authorize the Company to extend the date of March 26, 2023, up to six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time (ultimately until as late as September 26, 2023), and (ii) a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to authorize the Extension and its implementation by the Company. On March 29, 2023, Breeze executed the seventh one-month extension through April 26, 2023.  On April 25, 2023, May 25, 2023, and June 26, 2023 Breeze executed the eighth, ninth and tenth one-month extensions through July 26, 2023. On August 3, 2023 and August 28, 2023, Breeze executed the eleventh and twelfth one-month extensions through September 26, 2023.

The Company held a meeting of its stockholders on September 22, 2023 where the Company’s stockholders approved (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s A&R COI to authorize the Company to extend the date of September 26, 2023, up to nine (9) times for an additional one (1) month each time (ultimately until as late as June 26, 2024), and (ii) a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to authorize the Extension and its implementation by the Company. On September 27, 2023 Breeze executed the thirteenth one-month extension through October 26, 2023. On October 25, 2023, November 27, 2023, December 27, 2023, January 26, 2024, February 27, 2024, March 26, 2024 and April 26, 2024 Breeze executed the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth one-month extensions through May 26, 2024. On September 27, 2023 $206,650 was withdrawn of interest income from the Trust Account for payment of franchise and income taxes.

As of March 31, 2024, we had cash held in the trust account of $13,268,833, including $169,580 of interest. Interest income on the balance in the trust account may be used by us to pay taxes. On May 10, 2022, $109,000 was withdrawn from the Trust Account for payment of franchise and income taxes, on September 8, 2022, $122,247 was withdrawn from the Trust Account for payment of franchise and income taxes, and on September 27, 2023, $209,650 was withdrawn of interest income from the Trust Account for payment of franchise and income taxes.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $629,741 which was due to a net loss of $22,015,739, a non-cash decrease in fair value of warrant liabilities of $21,132,500, interest income of $169,580 on the Trust Account, and a decrease in working capital of $423,078. For the same period cash provided by investing activities was $121,724 which was due to an investment of cash in the Trust Account of $121,724, and net cash provided by financing activities was $751,724 which was due to proceeds from working capital loans and a promissory note from Sponsor of $630,000 and $121,724, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $586,560 which was due to net loss of $654,261, primarily offset by a non-cash increase in fair value of warrant liabilities of $169,250, interest of $68,327 on the Trust Account, and a decrease in working capital of $305,278. For the same period cash provided by investing activities was $5,222,928 which was due to investment in the Trust Account of $173,001, a redemption of common stock of $5,395,929, and net cash used in financing activities was $4,612,928 which was due to proceeds from a related party working capital loan of $610,000 and proceeds from a related party promissory note of $173,001 and, a redemption of common stock of $5,395,929.

 

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (less deferred underwriting commissions and income taxes payable), to complete our business combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $4,487 and $4,228, respectively, in cash held outside the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $8,985,992 and $7,849,292, respectively (excluding prepaid income taxes, prepaid franchise taxes and excise tax payable).

 

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the initial stockholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the private placement warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. However, all working capital promissory notes specifically state that the Sponsor has elected not to covert. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants issued to our Sponsor, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.

 

On November 19, 2021, the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $1,150,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from November 25, 2021 to February 25, 2022. This unsecured promissory note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or (ii) June 26, 2024.

 

On February 1, 2022, the Company signed a Promissory Note with Sponsor, with a Maturity Date of March 26, 2023, for a total of up to $1,500,000. On October 1, 2022, the Company signed an Amended Promissory Note with Sponsor, with a Maturity Date of September 26, 2023 for a total of up to $4,000,000. On April 1, 2023, the Company signed an Amended Promissory Note with Sponsor, with a Maturity Date of September 26, 2023 for a total of up to $5,000,000. On October 1, 2023, the Company signed an Amended Promissory Note with Sponsor, with a Maturity Date of June 26, 2024 for a total of up to $6,000,000. On March 1, 2024, the Company signed an Amended Promissory Note with Sponsor, with a Maturity Date of June 26, 2024 for a total of up to $7,000,000. As of March 31, 2024, the amount outstanding under this working capital loan was $5,242,109 for direct working capital, and $845,549 for monthly SPAC extension funds for the months of September 2022 through March 2024 for a total of $6,087,658 from Sponsor. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or (ii) June 26, 2024.

 

On February 18, 2022, the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $1,150,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from February 25, 2022 to May 25, 2022. This unsecured promissory note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or (ii) June 26, 2024.

  

Going Concern

We believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. If we are unable to complete our business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

 

Based upon the above narrative, Management determined that the above conditions and/or events indicate that it may be probable that the Company would be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.  Although Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination or through obtaining Working Capital Loans, there is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate the Business Combination or obtain the Working Capital Loans will be successful.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination and the Company’s cash and working capital as of March 31, 2024 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On February 18, 2022, the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $1,150,000 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from February 25, 2022 to May 25, 2022. This unsecured promissory note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or (ii) June 26, 2024.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.275 per share based on 11,500,000 shares issued in the IPO, or $3,162,500 in the aggregate.

The agreement includes an obligation to pay a Transaction Success Fee of $20,000 upon the successful completion of the business combination with TV Ammo.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We base our estimates on our own historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable after taking account of our circumstances and expectations for the future based on available information. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The critical accounting estimates, assumptions, judgements and the related policies that we believe have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements are described below

Warrant Liabilities

In determining the fair value of the Company’s Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants our third party valuation firm uses the most observable inputs available. The valuation approach for our Public Warrants utilizes a back-solve lattice model and for our Private Placement Warrants uses a Modified Black-Scholes model. Some of the inputs used in the models include the dividend yield on the Company’s common stock, expected common stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected business combination date and probability of completing the business combination. Several of these inputs are known and several use judgements. For instance, the probability of completing the business combination is derived by taking a sample of other special purpose acquisition companies and calculating the implied probability of completion for each company in the sample set. The average and 1^st and 3^rd quartiles of the implied probability of completion then formulates the basis for the probability utilized for the Company in the models. Changes in any or all of these estimates and assumptions, or the relationships between these assumptions, impact the Company’s valuation of its Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as of each valuation date and may have a material impact on the valuation of these warrants.

Recent Accounting Standards

 

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

 

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who serves as our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2024, because of the identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company determined that it failed to accurately prepare its income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2023. The control deficiencies related to the preparation, reviews and accounting of the Company's income tax provision and related expense represents a material weakness related to financial reporting.

 

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as set forth above, during the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

None.

 

 

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no other material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 25, 2024.
