QOMOLANGMA
ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1
— Description of Organization and Business Operations
Qomolangma
Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on May 6,
2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization
or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). The Company intends to
pursue target businesses that are strategically significant in the Asian markets and focus on businesses with a total enterprise value
of between $300,000,000 and $500,000,000.
As
of September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activities through September 30, 2023 are related to the Company’s
formation and the proposed initial public offering (“IPO” as defined below) and, subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target
company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination,
at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The
Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The
Company’s sponsor is Qomolangma Investments LLC (the “Sponsor”), a Delaware limited liability company.
The
registration statement for the Company’s IPO became effective on September 29, 2022. On October 4, 2022, the Company consummated
the IPO of 5,000,000 units at an offering price of $10.00 per unit (the “Public Units’), generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company sold to the Sponsor, in a private placement, 260,500 units, at $10.00 per unit
(the “Private Units”), generating total gross proceeds of $2,605,000.
Transaction
costs from the IPO amounted to $4,222,030, consisting of $875,000 of underwriting fees, $2,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees (payable
only upon completion of a Business Combination) and $1,347,030 of other offering costs.
The
Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 750,000 additional Public Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On
October 4, 2022, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and purchased 273,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00
per Public Unit on October 7, 2022, generating gross proceeds of $2,730,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the over-allotment option,
the Company consummated the private placement of an additional 8,873 Private Units generating gross proceeds of $88,725.
A
total of $53,520,950 ($10.15 per Unit) of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO (including the Over-Allotment Option Units)
and the private placements on October 4, 2022 and October 7, 2022, was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) maintained
by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company as a trustee and are invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of
185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the “Investment Company Act”), and that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. These funds will not
be released until the earlier of the completion of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation due to the Company’s failure
to complete a Business Combination within the applicable period of time. 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.
In addition, interest income earned on investments held in the Trust Account may be released to the Company to pay its income or other
tax obligations. With these exceptions, expenses incurred by the Company may be paid prior to a Business Combination only from the net
proceeds of the IPO and private placement not held in the Trust Account.
Pursuant
to Nasdaq listing rules, the Company’s initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses having an aggregate
fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the funds in the Trust account (excluding any deferred underwriting discounts
and commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account), which the Company refers to as the 80% test, at the time
of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial Business Combination, although the Company may structure a Business Combination
with one or more target businesses whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the trust account balance. If the Company is
no longer listed on Nasdaq, it will not be required to satisfy the 80% test. The Company will only complete a 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.
The
Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem
all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting
called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder
approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders
will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated
to be $10.15 per Public 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 franchise and income tax obligations).
The
Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation
of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares of common stock voted are voted in
favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder
vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business
or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not
pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether
they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination,
the Company’s Sponsor and any of the Company’s officers or directors that may hold Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5)
(the “Initial Stockholders”) and the underwriters have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares, Private Shares (as defined
in Note 4), and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination and (b) not
to convert any shares (including the Founder Shares) in connection with a stockholder vote to approve, or sell the shares to the Company
in any tender offer in connection with, a proposed Business Combination.
The
Initial Stockholders have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares, Private Shares, and Public
Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an
amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation
to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders
with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
Initially,
the Company had until July 4, 2023 (or up to July 4, 2024 if the time to complete a business combination is extended as described herein)
to consummate a Business Combination. In addition, if the Company anticipated that it would not be able to consummate a Business Combination
within 9 months, the Company was able to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to twelve times, each by an
additional one month (for a total of 21 months to complete a Business Combination). In order to extend the time available for the
Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Company’s insiders or their affiliates or designees, upon five days’ advance
notice prior to the applicable deadline, was required to deposit into the Trust Account $174,009 ($0.033 per Public Share per month),
on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each extension.
On
June 29, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “June Special Meeting”). At the June Special Meeting,
the stockholders amended the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to allow the Company to consummate a business
combination until August 4, 2023 (or up to August 4, 2024 if the time to complete a business combination is extended as described herein)
to consummate a Business Combination. In addition, if the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate a Business Combination
by August 4, 2023, the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to twelve times, each by an additional
one month (for a total of 22 months to complete a Business Combination) (the “Combination Period”). In order to extend the
time available for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Company’s insiders or their affiliates or designees, upon
five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the Trust Account the lesser of $0.033 per outstanding
share and $80,000 per month, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each extension.
In
connection with the June Special Meeting, an aggregate of 2,126,934 shares with redemption value of approximately $22,141,383 (or $10.41
per share) of the Company’s common stock were tendered for redemption.
On
June 29, 2023, the Sponsor made a deposit of $240,000 to the Trust Account and extended the period of time the Company has to consummate
an initial Business Combination from July 4, 2023 to October 4, 2023.
On
September 12, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “September Special Meeting”). At the Special
Meeting, the stockholders amended the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to allow the Company to undertake
an initial business combination with an entity or business, with a physical presence, operation, or other significant ties to China (a
“China-based Target”) or which may subject the post-business combination business to the laws, regulations and
policies of China (including Hong Kong and Macao), or entity or business that conducts operations in China through variable interest
entities, or VIEs, pursuant to a series of contractual arrangements with the VIE and its shareholders on one side, and a China-based subsidiary
of the China-based Target, on the other side.
In connection with the September Special Meeting,
an aggregate of 1,233,054 shares with redemption value of approximately $13,082,703 (or $10.61 per share) of the Company’s common
stock were tendered for redemption.
On October 31, 2023, the Sponsor made a deposit of $63,129 into the
Trust Account and extended the period of time the Company has to consummate an initial Business Combination from November 3, 2023 to December
3, 2023.
If
the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations
except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter,
redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including
interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less certain amount 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 liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as
reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s
board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for
claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The
Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Shares if the Company
fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or underwriters acquires Public Shares
in or after the IPO, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to
complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting
commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the
Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available
to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets
remaining available for distribution will be less than $10.15.
In
order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims
by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed
entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $10.15 per Public Share, except as to
any claims by a third party who executed a valid and enforceable agreement with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim
of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity
of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party,
the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims.
Liquidity,
Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $46,617
of cash held outside its Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $1,812,748 (excluding redeemed common stock payable to public
stockholders, income tax and franchise tax payable as redemptions and taxes are paid out of the Trust Account). On March 22, 2023, June
26, 2023, September 12, 2023, September 26, 2023 and October 26, 2023, the Sponsor loaned the Company $200,000, $240,000, $150,000, $47,227,
and $145,000 respectively, to be used, in part, for transaction costs related to the Business Combination and to fund the amount required
to extend the Business Combination Period. All promissory notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the consummation of the
Company’s Business Combination.
As a result of the Sponsor’s deposit of
$63,129 to the Trust Account on October 31, 2023, the Company has until December 3, 2023 (unless the Company extends the time to complete
a Business Combination) to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination
by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.
The Company expects to continue to incur significant
professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of
a Business Combination. The Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business Combination or because it
becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon consummation of its Business Combination, in which case the Company
may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities
laws, the Company would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If the Company is
unable to complete its Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, it will be forced to cease operations
and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following the Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, the Company may need
to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations.
In
connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue
as a Going Concern”, management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period,
the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company.
There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period.
As a result, management has determined that such an additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Risks
and Uncertainties
Management has evaluated the impact of current
conflicts around the globe, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war, and related sanctions on the world
economy, which is not determinable as of the date of these financial statements, and 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.
The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these risks and uncertainties.
Inflation
Reduction Act of 2022
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 (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic
(i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. 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. The IR Act applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.
Any
redemption or other repurchase that occurs 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 the Company 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 the Company and not by the
redeeming holder, it could cause a reduction in the value of the Company’s stock as well as a reduction in the cash available on
hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.
As a result of the redemptions by the public stockholders in June and
September 2023, the Company recorded total excise tax liability of $352,241 as of September 30, 2023. The Company will continue to monitor
for updates to the Company’s business along with guidance issued with respect to the IR Act to determine whether any adjustments
are needed to the Company’s tax provision in future periods.
Note 2
— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. 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 periods presented. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2023 or for any future periods. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 7, 2023.
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various
reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited
to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements,
and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder 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 that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition
period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use
of Estimates
In
preparing these unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s management makes 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 expenses during the reporting period.
Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. 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. Accordingly, the actual results could differ
significantly 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 had $46,617 and $196,510 in cash and none in cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Investments
Held in Trust Account
The Company’s portfolio of investments held
in the Trust Account is comprised of investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities. These securities are
presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Earnings on investments held in the Trust Account are
included in interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited statements of operations. The estimated
fair value of investments held in the Trust Account is determined using available market information.
Income
Taxes
The
Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that is
included in the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized.
The Company began to earn taxable income from the interest income earned
from the Trust Account after the IPO that was consummated on October 4, 2022. The Company’s effective tax rate was 103.11% and 0.00%
for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate was 112.31% and 0.00% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for both the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, due to 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 a measurement attribute for the 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.
While
ASC 740 identifies usage of an effective annual tax rate for purposes of an interim provision, it does allow for estimating individual
elements in the current period if they are significant, unusual or infrequent. Computing the effective tax rate for the Company is complicated
due to the potential impact of the timing of any Business Combination expenses and the actual interest income that will be recognized
during the year. The Company has taken a position as to the calculation of income tax expense in a current period based on ASC 740-270-25-3
which states, “If an entity is unable to estimate a part of its ordinary income (or loss) or the related tax (benefit) but is otherwise
able to make a reasonable estimate, the tax (or benefit) applicable to the item that cannot be estimated shall be reported in the interim
period in which the item is reported.” The Company believes its calculation to be a reliable estimate and allows it to properly
take into account the usual elements that can impact its annualized book income and its impact on the effective tax rate. As such, the
Company is computing its taxable income (loss) and associated income tax provision based on actual results for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
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 September 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 as its only “major” tax jurisdiction.
The
Company may be subject to potential examination by federal and state taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential
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.
Net
Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure
requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per redeemable
share and income (loss) per non-redeemable share following the two-class method of income per share. In order to determine the net income
(loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss)
allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net
loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number
of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the
common shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. As of September 30, 2023
and 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into
ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants and rights in
the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants and rights are contingent upon the occurrence of
future events. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the period presented.
The net income (loss) per share presented in the
unaudited condensed statements of operations is based on the following:

Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution,
which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has not experienced
losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
FASB
ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the
expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation
techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. FASB ASC Topic
820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset
or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller
would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs
reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed
based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The
fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
|
Level 1 |
Valuations based on unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments
and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in
an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment. |
|
Level 2 |
Valuations based on (i)
quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical
or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally
from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means. |
|
Level 3 |
Valuations based on inputs
that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
The
fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair
values of cash, other current assets, accrued expenses, and due to sponsor are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of September
30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to the short maturities of such instruments. See Note 8 for the disclosure of the Company’s
assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Warrants
The
Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s
specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers
whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to
ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the
warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net
cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This
assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly
period end date while the warrants are outstanding. Consequently, the Company accounts for warrants as equity-classified instruments.
For
issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component
of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification,
the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter.
Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
Common
Stock Subject to Possible 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 are
measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that is either within
the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control)
is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s
common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence
of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity,
outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheets.
The
Company has made a policy election in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A and recognizes changes in redemption value in additional paid-in
capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid-in capital equals to zero, over an expected 9-month period leading up to a Business
Combination. As of September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $ 11,986,633 total accretion of redeemable common stock to redemption value.
At December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023, the
amounts of common stock subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation
Certain reclassifications have been made between
accrued expenses and amount due to a related party, to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications did not impact
previously reported total current liabilities, total liabilities, the net cash used in operating activities or net cash provided by financing
activities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other
Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”)
to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial
conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining
to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible
debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings
per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective
January 1, 2024 for the Company and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning
on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
Pursuant to its IPO on October 4, 2022, the Company
sold 5,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day
option to purchase up to 750,000 additional Public Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On October 7, 2022, the underwriter partially
exercised the over-allotment option and purchased 273,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds
of $2,730,000. Each Public Unit consists of one share of common stock (“Public Share”), one right (“Public Right”)
and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Right will convert into one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common
stock upon the consummation of a Business Combination. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at
a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days following the
completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO, and will expire five years after
the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
All of the 5,273,000 Public Shares sold as part
of the Public Units in the IPO (including over-allotment units) contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public
Shares 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 amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or in connection with the Company’s liquidation. In accordance
with the 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.
The Company’s redeemable common stock is
subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable
that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the
period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the
earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying
amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has made a policy election in
accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A and recognizes changes in redemption value in accumulated deficit over an expected 9-month period leading
up to a Business Combination.
Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the
Sponsor purchased 260,500 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $2,605,000 in a private
placement. Simultaneously with the closing of the over-allotment option, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 8,873 Private
Units with the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $88,725. Each Private Unit consists of one
share of common stock (“Private Share”), one right (“Private Right”) and one redeemable warrant (“Private
Warrant”). Each Private Right will convert into one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon the consummation of a Business
Combination. Each Private Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to
adjustment. The Private Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants except that the Private Warrants and the shares of common stock
issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business
Combination. The net proceeds from the Private Units were added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company
does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Units will be used to
fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Units and all underlying securities
will expire worthless.
Note 5 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On September 25, 2021, the Company issued
1,437,500 shares of common stock to the Initial Stockholders (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregated consideration of $25,000,
or approximately $0.017 per share.
The Initial Shareholders have agreed to forfeit
up to up to 187,500 Founder Shares to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full, so that the Initial
Stockholders will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO (assuming the Initial Stockholders
do not purchase any Public Shares in the IPO and excluding the Private Units). As a result of the underwriter’s partial exercise
of the over-allotment option on October 4, 2022, 119,250 shares of the Founder Shares were forfeited for no consideration on October 7,
2022 resulting in 1,318,250 Founder Shares outstanding after the forfeiture.
The Initial Stockholders have agreed, subject
to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until, with respect to 50% of the Founder Shares,
the earlier of six months after the consummation of a Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the common
stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like)
for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing after a Business Combination and, with respect to the
remaining 50% of the Founder Shares, until the six months after the consummation of a Business Combination, or earlier, in either
case, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction
which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities
or other property.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On September 5, 2021, the Sponsor agreed
to loan the Company up to an aggregate amount of $200,000 to be used, in part, for transaction costs incurred in connection with the IPO
(the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is unsecured, interest-free and due on the closing of the IPO. The Company repaid
the outstanding balance of $200,000 to the Sponsor on October 7, 2022.
The Company received $155,025 from the
Sponsor at the closing of IPO to finance transaction costs in connection with searching for a target business. On October 7, 2022,
the Sponsor converted the outstanding balance of $155,025 to the Promissory Note. On March 22, 2023, June 26, 2023, September 12,
2023 and September 26, 2023, the Sponsor loaned the Company $200,000, $240,000, $150,000, and $47,227 (collectively
“Promissory Notes”), respectively, to be used, in part, for extension deposits. Each Promissory Note is unsecured,
interest-free and due on the date the Company consummates a business combination.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022,
$792,252 and $155,025 were outstanding under the Promissory Notes, respectively.
Related Party Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs
in connection with searching for a target business or consummating an intended initial business combination, the initial stockholders,
officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. In the event that the
initial business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay
such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible
into Private Units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The terms of such related party loans, if any, have not
been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022,
the Company had no borrowings under the working capital loans.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an Administrative Service
Agreement, commencing on the effective date of the IPO through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination
and its liquidation, to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. The monthly
fees will be ceased upon completion of an initial Business Combination or liquidation. For the three and nine months ended September 30,
2023 the Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000, respectively, in fees for these services. The Company accrued $118,387 and $28,387 administrative
fees in the accompanying balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company did not incur any administrative
fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Note 6 — Commitments and Contingency
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Units (and
all underlying securities), and any shares that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans will be entitled to registration
rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of IPO. The holders of the majority of these securities
are entitled to make up to three demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares
can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which the Founder Shares
are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Units and units issued in payment of working capital loans
made to the Company can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing on the date that the Company consummates a
Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration
statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with
the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting
discount of 1.75% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $922,775. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of 4.00%
of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $2,109,200, which will be paid upon the closing of a Business Combination from the amounts held in
the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Note 7 — Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock — The Company
is authorized to issue 16,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the common stock are entitled
to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2021, there were 1,437,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, of which an aggregate
of up to 187,500 Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in
full, so that the Initial Stockholders will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO (assuming
the Initial Stockholders do not purchase any Public Shares in the IPO and excluding the Private Units). As a result of the underwriter’s
partial exercise of the over-allotment option on October 4, 2022, 119,250 shares of the Founder Shares were forfeited for no consideration
on October 7, 2022. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 1,662,623 shares of common stock issued and outstanding
(excluding 1,913,012 and 5,273,000 shares subject to possible redemption, respectively).
Rights — Each holder of a
right will receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of such
right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of
the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional shares upon
consummation of a Business Combination, as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price paid for by
investors in the Initial Public Offering. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company
will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration
the holders of the common stock will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into common stock basis and each holder of a right
will be required to affirmatively convert its rights in order to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share underlying each right (without
paying additional consideration). The shares issuable upon conversion of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held
by affiliates of the Company).
If the Company is unable to complete a Business
Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive
any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of
the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure
to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company
be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, holders of the rights might not receive the shares of common stock underlying
the rights.
Warrants — Each redeemable
warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described
in this prospectus. The warrants will become exercisable on the later 30 days following the completion of an initial Business Combination
and 12 months from the date of this prospectus. The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days
after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file, and within 60 business days following
a Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the issuance of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public
Warrants is not effective within a specified period following the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination, warrant
holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed
to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration
under the Securities Act. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a
cashless basis. The warrants will expire five years from the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time or earlier upon redemption.
The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:
| ● | in
whole and not in part; |
| ● | at
a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
| ● | upon
a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, which the Company refers to as the 30-day redemption period; |
| ● | if,
and only if, the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock
splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day
period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the to the
warrant holders. |
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption,
management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,”
as described in the warrant agreement. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the 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 difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined
below) 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.
Except as described above, no warrants will be
exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue common stock unless at the time a holder seeks to exercise such warrant, a
prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the common stock have been registered or
qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of
the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current prospectus relating
to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, the Company cannot assure that
it will be able to do so and, if the Company does not maintain a current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise
of the warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their warrants and the Company will not be required to settle any such warrant exercise.
If the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the common stock is not
qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside, the Company will not be required
to net cash settle or cash settle the warrant exercise, the warrants may have no value, the market for the warrants may be limited and
the warrants may expire worthless.
The Private Warrants have terms and provisions
that are identical to those of the warrants being sold as part of the units in the IPO except that the Private Warrants will be entitled
to registration rights. The Private Warrants (including the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants) will not be transferable,
assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination except to permitted transferees.
Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s financial
assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale
of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of
observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions
about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities
based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: |
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
|
|
Level 2: |
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
|
|
Level 3: |
Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The following tables present information about
the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and indicate
the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Note 10 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions
that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based on the
review, as further disclosed in the footnotes and except as disclosed below, management did not identify any subsequent events that would
have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.
On October 4, 2023, the Company paid approximately $13,082,703 to redeemed
public stockholders.
On October 26, 2023, the Sponsor loaned the Company
$145,000 to be used, in part, for extension deposits and transaction costs related to the Business Combination. The Promissory Note is
unsecured, interest-free and due on the date the Company consummates a business combination.
On October 31, 2023, the Company made a deposit
of $63,129 to the Trust Account and extended the date the Company has to consummate an initial business combination from November 3, 2023
to December 3, 2023.

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware
on May 6, 2021. We were formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization,
reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses, which we refer to herein as our “initial
business combination.” Our efforts to identify a prospective target business are not limited to any particular industry or geographic
region, although we intend to pursue target businesses that are strategically significant in the Asian markets and focus on businesses
with a total enterprise value of between $300,000,000 and $500,000,000. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial
public offering (“IPO” as defined below) and the private placement of Private Units, our securities, debt or a combination
of cash, securities and debt, in effecting our initial business combination.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs
in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete an initial business combination will be successful.
Recent Developments
On June 29, 2023, the Company held a special meeting
of stockholders (the “June Special Meeting”). At the June Special Meeting, the stockholders amended the Company’s Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to allow the Company to consummate a business combination until August 4, 2023 (or up to August
4, 2024 if the time to complete a business combination is extended as described herein) to consummate a Business Combination. In addition,
if the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate a Business Combination by August 4, 2023, the Company may extend the
period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to twelve times, each by an additional one month (for a total of 22 months to complete
a Business Combination) (the “Combination Period”). In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate a
Business Combination, the Company’s insiders or their affiliates or designees, upon five days’ advance notice prior to the
applicable deadline, must deposit into the Trust Account the lesser of $0.033 per outstanding share and $80,000 per month, on or prior
to the date of the applicable deadline, for each extension.
In connection with the Special Meeting, an aggregate
of 2,126,934 shares with redemption value of approximately $22,141,383 (or $10.41 per share) of the Company’s common stock were
tendered for redemption.
On June 29, 2023, the Sponsor made a deposit of
$240,000 to the Trust Account and extended the period of time the Company has to consummate an initial Business Combination from July
4, 2023 to October 4, 2023.
On September 12, 2023, the Company held a special
meeting of stockholders (the “September Special Meeting”). At the September Special Meeting, the stockholders amended the
Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to allow the Company to undertake an initial business combination with
an entity or business, with a physical presence, operation, or other significant ties to China (a “China-based Target”)
or which may subject the post-business combination business to the laws, regulations and policies of China (including Hong Kong and
Macao), or entity or business that conducts operations in China through variable interest entities, or VIEs, pursuant to a series of contractual
arrangements with the VIE and its shareholders on one side, and a China-based subsidiary of the China-based Target, on the other
side.
In connection with the September Special Meeting,
an aggregate of 1,233,054 shares with redemption value of approximately $13,082,703 (or $10.61 per share) of the Company’s common
stock were tendered for redemption.
On September 26, 2023 and October 31, 2023,
the Sponsor made a deposit of $47,277 (which reflects a reduction of $18,377 previously deposited for the September monthly
extension fee as a result of the Company’s public shares redeemed on September 12 and applied to the October monthly extension
fee of $65,604) and $63,129, respectively, to the Trust Account and extended the period of time the Company has to consummate an
initial Business Combination from October 4, 2023 to December 3, 2023.
On October 26, 2023, the Sponsor loaned the Company
$145,000 to be used, in part, for extension deposits and transaction costs related to the Business Combination. The Promissory Note is
unsecured, interest-free and due on the date the Company consummates a business combination.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor
generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities through September 30, 2023 were organizational activities and those necessary
to prepare for our IPO, which is described below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for an initial business combination.
We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination.
We expect to generate non-operating income in
the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account. We expect that we will incur increased expenses as a result of being
a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection
with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023,
we had a net loss of $2,739, which consisted of loss from operations of $351,112 derived from general and administrative expenses of $344,212,
franchise tax expense of $6,900, and income tax expense of $90,772 offset by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account
of $439,145. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net income of $5,014, consisted of formation costs and refund of
franchise tax payments.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023,
we had a net loss of $37,519, which consisted of loss from operations of $1,356,343 derived from general and administrative expenses of
$1,325,643, franchise tax expense of $30,700 and income tax expense of $342,413, offset by interest earned on investments held in the
Trust Account of $1,661,237. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $7,271, all of which consisted of formation
costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023,
cash balance was decreased by $149,893, which consisted of cash used in operating activities of $545,322 and financing activities of $21,791,383
which was primarily used to pay redeemed public stockholders, offset by cash provided by investing activities of $22,186,812 consisting
cash drawn from Trust Account to fund stockholder redemptions and loans from the Sponsor.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022,
cash balance was decreased by $99,301, which consisted of cash used in operating activities of $7,271 and financing activities of $92,030,
respectively.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
On October 4, 2022, we completed our initial public
offering (“IPO”) of 5,000,000 units (the “Public Units”), at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds
of $50,000,000. Each Public Unit consisted of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001, one redeemable warrant and one right to receive
one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination. Simultaneously with the closing
of the IPO, we completed the sale of 260,500 units (the “Private Units”) in a private placement, at a price of $10.00 per
Private Unit, generating gross proceeds of $2,605,000.
We granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day
option to purchase up to 750,000 additional Public Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On October 4, 2022, the underwriters partially
exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 273,000 Units (“Over-Allotment Option Units”) at $10.00 per Unit, which was
closed on October 7, 2022 generating total gross proceeds of $2,730,000. On October 7, 2022, simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment
Option Units, the Company consummated the private placement of an additional 8,873 Private Units generating gross proceeds of $88,725.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we issued Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc., the underwriter, 75,000 shares of common stock.
Following the IPO and the private placement (including
the Over-Allotment Option Units and the Over-Allotment Private Units), a total of $53,520,950 was placed in a trust account located in
the United States established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders (the “Trust Account”) maintained
by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company as a trustee and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity
of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
and that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.
We intend to use substantially all of the net
proceeds of the IPO and the private placement, including the funds held in the Trust Account, in connection with our initial business
combination and to pay our expenses relating thereto, including deferred underwriting discounts and commissions payable to the underwriters
in the IPO in an amount equal to 4.0% of the total gross proceeds raised in the IPO upon consummation of our initial business combination.
To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial business combination, the remaining
proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations
of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’
operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also
be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination
if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $46,617
of cash held outside its Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $1,812,749 (excluding redeemed common stock payable to public
stockholders, income tax and franchise tax payable as redemptions and taxes are paid out of the Trust Account). On March 22, June 26,
September 12, September 26 and October 26, 2023, the Sponsor loaned the Company $200,000, $240,000, $150,000, $47,227, and $63,129, respectively,
to be used, in part, for extension deposits. As a result of the Sponsor’s deposit of $63,129 to the Trust Account on October 31,
2023, the Company has until December 4, 2023 (unless the Company extends the time to complete a Business Combination) to consummate a
Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination
is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.
The Company expects to continue to incur significant
professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of
a Business Combination. The Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business Combination or because it
becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon consummation of its Business Combination, in which case the Company
may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities
laws, the Company would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If the Company is
unable to complete its Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, it will be forced to cease operations
and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following the Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, the Company may need
to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations.
In connection with the Company’s assessment
of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”, management has determined
that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company
is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence
voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate
a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such an additional
condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statement does
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities,
which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We do not participate in transactions
that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which
would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet
financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any
non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
Promissory Notes – Related Party
The Company received $155,025 from the Sponsor at the closing of IPO
to finance transaction costs in connection with searching for a target business. On October 7, 2022, the Sponsor converted the outstanding
balance of $155,025 to the Promissory Note. On March 22, 2023, June 26, 2023, September 12, 2023 and September 26, 2023, the Sponsor loaned
the Company $200,000, $240,000, $150,000 and $47,227 (collectively “Promissory Notes”), respectively, to be used, in part,
for extension deposits. Each Promissory Note is unsecured, interest-free and due on the date the Company consummates a business combination.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $792,252 and $155,025 were outstanding under the Promissory Notes, respectively.
Administrative Services Agreement
We have entered into an administrative services agreement pursuant
to which we will pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month (subject to deferral as described herein) for office space, utilities, secretarial
and administrative support services. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these
monthly fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 the Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000, respectively, in fees for
these services. We accrued $118,387 and $28,387 administrative fees in the accompanying balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December
31, 2022, respectively.
Registration Rights
The holders of the founder shares, private placement
units, and units that may be issued on conversion of working capital loans (and any securities underlying the private placement units
and the working capital loans) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective
date of the IPO 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 our completion of our initial business combination and
rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. We will bear the expenses incurred
in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting
discount of 1.75% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $922,775. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of 4.00%
of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $2,109,200, which will be paid upon the closing of a Business Combination from the amounts held in
the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of unaudited condensed financial
statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual
results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our common stock subject to possible
conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally
redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject
to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times,
common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be
outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption
is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our condensed balance sheets.
We made a policy election in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A and recognizes changes in redemption value in accumulated deficit over
an expected 9-month period leading up to a Business Combination.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified
or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance
in Financial Accounting Standards Board Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives
and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to
ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification
under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could
potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions
for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance
and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. Consequently, the Company accounts for warrants
as equity-classified instruments.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all
of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the
time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required
to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair
value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure
requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares
and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable
shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. We then allocated the undistributed
income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any
re-measurement of the accretion to redemption value of the common shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends
paid to the public shareholders.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options
(Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”)
to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial
conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining
to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible
debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings
per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective
January 1, 2024 for the Company and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning
on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
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
statement.
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 and procedures are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting
officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
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
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, there
has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part
II – Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required
to make disclosures under this Item. We have provided a comprehensive list of risk factors in the final prospectus for our IPO as filed
with the SEC on October 3, 2022.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On October 4, 2022, we consummated the IPO of
5,000,000 Public Units, each Public Unit consisting of one share of common stock, one redeemable warrant and one right, for $10.00 per
Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock
at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of
common stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination. We had granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day option to purchase
up to 750,000 additional Public Units to cover over-allotments.
Subsequently, the underwriter partially exercised
the over-allotment option in full and, on October 7, 2022, purchased 273,000 Public Units at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Unit
for an aggregate purchase price of $2,730,000. The securities in the IPO, including the exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment
option, were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-265447). The SEC declared the registration
statement effective on September 29, 2022.
On October 4, 2022, simultaneously with the closing
of the IPO, we sold an aggregate of 260,500 Private Units in a private placement with the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit,
generating gross proceeds of $2,605,000. The Private Units are identical to the units sold in the IPO, except that (a) the Private Units
and underlying securities will not be transferable, assignable or salable until the consummation of our initial business combination,
except to permitted transferees, and (b) the private warrants, so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees,
(i) will not be redeemable by us, (ii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, and (iii) will be entitled to registration
rights.
On October 7, 2022, simultaneously with the closing
of the exercise of the over-allotment option, we consummated the sale of an additional aggregate of 8,873 Private Units in a private placement
to the Sponsor, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds of $88,725. The Private Units were issued pursuant
to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
A total of $53,520,950 of the net proceeds from
the sale of the Public Units in the IPO and the private placement of the Private Units on October 4, 2022 and October 7, 2022 were deposited
in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders at Bank of America, N.A. maintained by American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
For a description of the use of the proceeds generated
in our IPO, see Part I, Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of
this Quarterly Report.

1. I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q of Qomolangma Acquisition Corp. for the quarter ended September 30, 2023;
2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;
3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements,
and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
4. The registrant’s other certifying officer(s)
and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant
and have:
(a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures,
or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to
the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
period in which this report is being prepared;
(b) [Paragraph intentionally omitted in accordance
with SEC Release Nos. 34-47986 and 34-54942];
(c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s
disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
(d) Disclosed in this report any change in the
registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent fiscal quarter (the
registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting; and
5. The registrant’s other certifying officer(s)
and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors
and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
(a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses
in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s
ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
(b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
