RELATIVITY ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2023
Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations
Relativity Acquisition Corp.
(the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 13, 2021, for the purpose of
effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one
or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company may pursue an initial Business Combination target in any business
or industry.
As of March 31, 2023, the
Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 13, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2023 relates
to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“IPO”), described below, and identifying a target company
for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial 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 sponsor is Relativity
Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
The registration statement
for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on February 10, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). On February 15, 2022, the
Company consummated the IPO of 14,375,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), including the issuance of 1,875,000 units
as a result of the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of
one share of Class A common stock and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole warrant entitles the holder to
purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.
Simultaneously with the consummation
of the IPO, including 1,875,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional
units to cover over-allotments, the Company consummated the private placement of 653,750 units (the “Private Placement
Units”) to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement. Each Private Placement Unit
consists of one share of Class A common stock and one warrant (“Private Placement Warrant”).
Transaction costs amounted
to $3,890,326 consisting of $1,437,500 of underwriting commissions, $1,972,398 of the excess of the fair value of Class
B common stock issued to underwriter over the share subscription receivable and $480,428 of other offering costs.
The Company’s management
has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Units,
although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.
The initial Business Combination
must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held
in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of the business combination fee held in trust and taxes payable on the income
earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business
Combination. However, the Company will only complete an initial Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50%
or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it
not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment
Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
Following the closing of
the IPO and full exercise of the over-allotment by the underwriters on February 15, 2022, $146,625,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net
proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was deposited into a trust account (the “Trust
Account”) and will be invested only in U.S. government securities 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 which invest only in direct U.S. government
treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company
to pay the Company’s franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the net
proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest
of (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection
with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance
or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business
Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’
rights or pre-Business Combination activity, and (c) the redemption of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete the
initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the
Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of
the public stockholders.
The Company will provide
its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business
Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) without a
stockholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed Business
Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in the Company’s discretion.
The Company will provide
its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business
Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business
days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and
not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding
public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account initially was $10.20 per public share.
The per-share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the business combination
fee the Company will pay to the underwriters. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of the initial Business Combination
with respect to the Company’s warrants.
The shares of common stock
subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480
“Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company’s
Class A common stock is not a “penny stock” upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks
stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
The Company had 12 months
from the closing of the IPO to complete the initial Business Combination, except that the Sponsor had two 3-month extensions available
to it for a total of up to 18 months to complete the initial Business Combination (as set out below) (the “Combination Period”).
On December 21, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”) in which the stockholders approved
an amendment to the Company’s second amended and restated certification of incorporation to extend the date by which the company
must consummate its initial Business Combination from February 15, 2023 to August 15, 2023 (the “Combination Period”). If
the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations
except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the
public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest
earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and income
taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption
will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further 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 Sponsor may extend the
period of time to consummate a Business Combination for up to two times without stockholder approval, each for an additional three months
(for a total of up to 24 months to complete a Business Combination (each such three-month period, a “Funded Extension Period”)),
so long as the Company deposits an aggregate amount of $1,000 from its working capital into the trust account no later than the 21-month
and 24-month anniversary of its IPO for each such extension that the Company determines to implement. The public stockholders will not
be entitled to vote or redeem their shares in connection with any Funded Extension Periods.
In connection with the stockholders’
vote at the Meeting, 14,221,705 shares were tendered for redemption.
The Sponsor, officers, directors
and initial stockholders of the Company have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i)
waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the
completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares
in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation
(A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete
the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period; or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’
rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with
respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within
the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public
shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame; and (iv) vote any
founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated
transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination.
The Sponsor has agreed that
it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company,
or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement
or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 (per public share
and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less
than $10.20 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will
not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held
in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of
the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not
asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has
sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations, and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of
the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management is continuing
to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that
the COVID-19 virus and the war could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, search
for a target company and/or ability to complete a business combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date
of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of these uncertainty.
Consideration of IR Act Excise Tax
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation
Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S.
federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries
of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation
itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value
of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations
are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the
same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”)
has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.
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, the mechanics
of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand
to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of March 31, 2023, the
Company had $772,410 in its operating bank account and working capital, excluding franchise and income tax payable, net of interest
income from trust account, of $52,708.
The Company does not believe
it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating the business. However, if the estimate
of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are
less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the
Business Combination.
In order to finance transaction
costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s
officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”).
If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the
Trust Account released to the Company. 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 the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would
be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent
units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 150,000 units if $1,500,000 of notes
were so converted) at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. The terms of such working
capital loans by the Sponsor or its affiliates, or the Company’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no
written agreements exist with respect to the Working Capital Loans. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than
the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide
a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no such Working
Capital Loans were outstanding.
Based on the foregoing, management
believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation
of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing
accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective
target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire and structuring, negotiating
and consummating the Business Combination.
In connection with the Company’s
assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 2014-15, “Disclosures
of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until August 15, 2023 (absent
any extensions of such period, pursuant to the terms described above) to consummate the proposed Business Combination. It is uncertain
whether the Company will be able to consummate the proposed Business Combination by this date. If a Business Combination is not consummated
by this date, then, unless that time is extended (as provided above, or pursuant to a stockholder vote), there will be a mandatory liquidation
and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a
Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate
by August 15, 2023. The Company intends to complete the proposed Business Combination before the end of the Combination Period. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information 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 months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future interim periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission the SEC on March 31, 2023.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Relativity Purchaser Merger Sub Inc. There has been no intercompany
activity since inception.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging
growth company,” as defined in Section2 (a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012
(the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable
to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the
auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation
in its periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of 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 of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or
revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and
comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company
has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different
application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at
the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with
another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended
transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited
condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial
statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 unaudited condensed 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. The Company has determined the more significant accounting estimates included in our financial statements
is the determination of the fair value of Derivative Financial Instruments as described below.
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. As of March 31, 2023
and December 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $ 772,410 and $1,429,804, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as
of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Investment held in Trust Account
As of March 31, 2023 and
December 31, 2022, the Company had $1,697,819 and $1,671,810, respectively, in investments held in the Trust Account that were held in
money market funds which are primarily invested in U.S. treasury securities. Net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the
sale of the Private Placement Units were placed in the Trust Account which will only be invested in United States “government securities”
within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting
certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.
The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the
balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of warrant
liability are included in interest income on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated
fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Deferred Offering Costs
Offering costs consist of
accounting and legal expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO, and the excess of the fair
value of Class B common stock issued to underwriter over the share subscription receivable. Offering costs will be allocated to the separable
financial instruments issued in the IPO based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Upon completion of
the IPO, offering costs associated with warrant liabilities were expensed and offering costs associated with the Class A common stock
were charged to temporary equity.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s
assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature
(except for the warrant liabilities – see Note 7).
Fair value is defined as
the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair
value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level
1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The Company’s financial instruments are classified
as either Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. These tiers include:
| ● | Level
1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; |
| ● | Level
2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices
for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| ● | Level
3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions,
such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its
financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance
with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities,
the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with
changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such
instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are
classified in the condensed balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the
instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Net (Loss) Income Per Common Stock
The Company has two classes
of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the
two classes of shares. The 15,028,750 shares of Class A common stock from the outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s shares
were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 because the warrants are contingently exercisable,
and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, basic and diluted net (loss) income per Class A share is the same for the period.
The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net (loss) income per share
for each class of common stock:
At March 31, 2023, the Company
did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then
share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted and basic (loss) income per Class B share is the same for the period.
The following tables present
a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net (loss) income per share for each class of common
stock:

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for
income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets
and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax basis of assets
and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC Topic 740 additionally
requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not
be realized. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded
against it. Our effective tax rate was 0.15% and 0.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective
tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to changes in fair value in warrant
liability and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.
ASC Topic 740 also clarifies
the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure
and transition.
The Company recognizes accrued
interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts
accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 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 is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities
since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax
jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of
unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Common stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company’s Class
A common stock that was sold as part of the Units in the IPO contains a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public
shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s
initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classified the 14,375,000 shares subject to redemption outside
of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The public shares sold as part of the
Units in the IPO were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants), and as such, the initial carrying value of public
shares is classified as temporary equity.
On December 21, 2022, the
Company held the Meeting. At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s second amended
and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate
its initial Business Combination from February 15, 2023 to August 15, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s Board
of Directors, and to provide for up to two additional three-month extensions beyond August 15, 2023 for the period of time for the Company
to consummate an initial Business Combination. In connection with the Meeting, stockholders holding 14,221,705 shares of Class A common
stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result,
approximately $146 million (approximately $10.29 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately
$1.6 million will remain in the Trust Account. Following redemptions, the Company has 153,295 Public Shares outstanding as of March 31,
2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Concentration of credit risk
The Company has significant
cash balances at financial institutions which throughout the year regularly exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred
or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, FASB issued
ASU Topic 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 for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 effective
as of April 13, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
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 unaudited condensed financial statements.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
On February 15, 2022, the
Company consummated its IPO of 14,375,000 Units, including 1,875,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the
underwriter’s option to purchase additional units to cover over-allotments, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit
consists of one share of Class A common stock and one redeemable Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder
to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).
Following the closing of
the IPO on February 15, 2022, $146,625,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the
sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a Trust Account and will be invested only in U.S. government securities 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 which invest
only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.
All of the 14,375,000 Class
A common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares
in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination
and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC guidance on redeemable
equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC Topic 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.
In connection with the stockholders’
vote at the Meeting, 14,221,705 shares were tendered for redemption.
Accordingly, at March 31,
2023 and December 31, 2022, 153,295 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $11.00
and $11.78 per share, as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance
sheets, respectively.
The shares of Class A common
stock are accounted for in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 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 recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur. Immediately
upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the
carrying value of redeemable common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
As of March 31, 2023 and
December 31 2023, the common stock subject to possible redemption reflected on the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following

Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing
of the IPO, the Company’s Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 653,750 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per
Unit, or $6,537,500 in the aggregate, in a private placement. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common
stock and one Private Placement Warrant.
The Private Placement Warrants
will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the
Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will
be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in the
IPO.
Note 5 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
In May 2021, the Sponsor
paid $25,000 of deferred offering costs on behalf of the Company in exchange for 3,750,000 shares of common stock (the
“Founder Shares”). On December 14, the Sponsor returned to the Company, at no cost, an aggregate of 511,250 Founder
Shares, which the Company cancelled. On December 14, 2021, an aggregate of 355,000 shares of Class B common stock
were issued to A.G.P. (the “Representative”), resulting in an aggregate of 3,593,750 shares of Class B common
stock outstanding. On January 12, 2022, the Sponsor transferred 176,094 Founder Shares to George Syllantavos, and 28,750 Founder
Shares to Anastasios Chrysostomidis. The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size
of the IPO would be a maximum of 14,375,000 Units if the underwriter’s over-allotment option were exercised in full,
and therefore that such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the IPO. The underwriter’s over-allotment
option was exercised in full, and no Founder Shares were forfeited.
On February 27, 2023, the
Company issued an aggregate of 3,593,749 shares of Class A common stock to our sponsor, A.G.P., George Syllantavos and Anastasios Chrysostomidis,
the holders of our Class B common stock, upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B common stock. These shares of class
A common stock are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B common stock before the conversion, including, among other
things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination
as described in the prospectus for our initial public offering. Following the conversion, our sponsor was the beneficial owner of 3,033,905
shares of our Class A common stock and one share of our Class B common stock. The sponsor then transferred 533,525 shares of Class A common
stock to certain members of the sponsor. Subsequent to those transfers, the sponsor holds 2,500,380 shares of Class A common stock and
one share of Class B common stock, as well as 653,750 shares of Class A common stock underlying private placement units, which units were
acquired by the sponsor in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.
Following the redemptions
and the conversion of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock, there are currently 153,295 public shares outstanding
and a total of 4,400,794 shares of Class A common stock and one share of Class B Common stock are outstanding, including the 2,500,380
shares of Class A common stock and the one share of Class B common stock that are beneficially owned by our sponsor.
The initial stockholders
have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) six months after the
date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger,
stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A
common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements
of the initial stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the shares of Class A
common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 90 days after the initial Business
Combination, the Founder Shares will no longer be subject to such transfer restrictions.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On July 2, 2021, the Sponsor
agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”).
This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2022 or the completion of the IPO. The outstanding balance
under the promissory note of $208,563 was paid in full and as a result, the credit facility is no longer available.
Working Capital Loans
In order to finance transaction
costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s
officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”).
If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the
Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account.
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 the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.
Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per
unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 150,000 units if $1,500,000 of notes were so converted)
at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. The terms of such working capital loans by
the Sponsor or its affiliates, or the Company’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements
exist with respect to the Working Capital Loans. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate
of the Sponsor as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all
rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
Administrative Service Fee
The Company entered into
an administrative services agreement on the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO pursuant to which the Company will
pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month, for up to 18 months, for office space, utilities and secretarial and
administrative support. Upon completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease
paying these monthly fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred $30,000 of administrative service fees, $30,000
of which were paid. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred $15,000 of administrative service fees, all of which
were fully paid.
Due to Related Party
At March 31, 2023 and December
31, 2022, the Company had $0 and $5,059 borrowings due to a related party, respectively.
Due from Sponsor
Due from Sponsor is a non-interest-bearing
advance and is due on demand. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $3,047 are included in due from sponsor in the accompanying condensed
balance sheets, respectively
Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Registration and Stockholder Rights
The holders of the Founder
Shares, Private Placement Units, the Private Placement Warrants, and the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Private Placement
Warrants will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them
pursuant to a registration rights agreement that was signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO. These holders will be entitled
to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company registers such securities for sale under the
Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other
registration statements filed by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the underwriters may not exercise their demand and “piggyback”
registration rights after five and seven years, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement of which the
IPO forms a part and may not exercise their demand rights on more than one occasion.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters had a 45-day
option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 1,875,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. As of February
15, 2022, the underwriters had fully exercised the over-allotment option.
On December 14, 2021, the
Company sold an aggregate of 355,000 shares of Class B common stock to A.G.P. at $0.007 per share, for a total consideration of $2,470,
and was recorded as share subscription receivable. The subscription receivable was paid on February 18, 2022.
The fair value of Class B
common stock sold to A.G.P. was $1,974,868. The Company accounted for $1,972,398 of the excess of the fair value of Class B common
stock issued to underwriter over the share subscription receivable as an offering cost of the IPO and allocated between the warrants,
equity and temporary equity based on the relative fair values.
On February 15, 2022, the
Company paid cash underwriting commissions of $1,437,500 to the underwriters.
Business Combination Marketing Agreement
The Company engaged A.G.P.
as an advisor in connection with the Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss the
potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested
in purchasing its securities in connection with the initial Business Combination, and assist the Company with its press releases and public
filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay A.G.P. a fee in cash for such services upon the consummation
of the initial Business Combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $5,031,250 in the aggregate.
Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination marketing agreement, no fee will be due if the Company does not complete an initial
Business Combination.
Business Combination Agreement
On February 13, 2023, the
Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among (i) the Company
(ii) Relativity Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Relativity (“Pubco”), (iii) Relativity
Purchaser Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger Sub”), (iv) SVES GO,
LLC, a Florida limited liability company, SVES LLC, a Florida limited liability company, SVES CP LLC, a Florida limited liability company
and SVES Apparel LLC, a Florida limited liability company (collectively, the “Operating Companies” or “SVES”),
(v) SVGO LLC, ESGO LLC, SV Apparel LLC, and ES Business Consulting LLC (each a “Seller”), (vi) Timothy J. Fullum and Salomon
Murciano, (vii) the Sponsor and (viii) Timothy J. Fullum. SVES is a key intermediary connecting full-price fashion brands with off-price
retailers that are able to sell inventory that would otherwise be sold or disposed of by full-price brands at a significant loss. At the
closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”), in accordance with the DGCL,
(a) the Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Business Combination as a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Pubco, and (b) each Seller will contribute all of its ownership interest in each Operating Company to Pubco in exchange for aggregate
consideration in the amount of $632,000,000, to be paid in the common stock of Pubco valued at $10.00 per share of common stock. At the
Closing, each public warrant of the Company will be converted into one Pubco public warrant and each private warrant of the Company will
be converted into one Pubco private warrant, in each case with such Pubco warrant having substantially the same terms and conditions as
set forth in the respective Company warrants, except that in each case they will represent the right to acquire shares of Pubco common
stock in lieu of shares of Class A common stock.
Note 7 — Fair Value Measurement
The following table presents
information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023
and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. The Company uses
inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine
the fair value of its investments in the Mutual Fund.

Transfers to/from Levels
1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs. There were
no transfers to/from during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
The warrants were initially
classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs. On December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023,
the Public Warrants were reclassified to Level 2 as no trading activity took place on the reporting dates. The estimated fair value of
the Private Placement Warrants at March 31, 2023 was determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo options pricing model
are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates
the volatility of its common stock based on projected volatility of comparable public companies that matches the expected remaining life
of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity
similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is based on management assumptions regarding
the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates
to remain at zero.
The following table provides
quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements as of February 15, 2022 (initial recognition) and March 31, 2023:

Note 8 — Warrant Liability
As of March 31, 2023 and
December 31, 2022, there were 15,028,750 warrants outstanding, respectively. The Company accounted for the 15,028,750 warrants
issued in connection with the IPO (14,375,000 Public Warrants and 653,750 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with
the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment
thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies each warrant as a liability at its fair
value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability is
adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statements of operations.
Each whole warrant entitles
the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment
as described herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities
for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price
of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith
by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into
account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or its affiliates, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the
aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for
the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions),
and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading
day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”)
is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher
of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption
of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to
be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The warrants will become
exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of
this offering and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the warrant expiration date, which is five years
after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. On the exercise of any warrant, the
warrant exercise price will be paid directly to the Company and not placed in the Trust Account.
The Company will not be obligated
to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant
exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the
warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying the Company’s
obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue
shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has
been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the
warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the
holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event
will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised
warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of
Class A common stock underlying such unit.
The Company has agreed that
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company
will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon
exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those
shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration
statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 52nd day
after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement
and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless
basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the
Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies
the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option,
require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of
the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement,
and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable
blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Redemption of warrants when the price per share
of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00.
Once the warrants become
exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
| ● | in
whole and not in part; |
| ● | at
a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
| ● | upon
not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder;
and |
| ● | if,
and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A 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 three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
Note 9 — Stockholders’ Deficit
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized
to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At March 31, 2023 and December 31,
2022, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class A Common Stock
The Company is authorized
to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A
common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 653,750 shares of
Class A common stock issued or outstanding, respectively, excluding 153,295 shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.
Class B Common Stock
The Company is authorized
to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class B
common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 1 and 3,593,750 shares
of Class B common stock issued and outstanding, respectively, of which 468,750 shares were subject to forfeiture to the
extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised in full so that the Founder Shares would represent, on an
as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO (assuming the Sponsor did not purchase
any public shares in the IPO). As of February 15, 2022, the over-allotment option was fully exercised and such shares were no longer subject
to forfeiture.
The remaining share of Class B
common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business Combination on a
one-for-one basis (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), and subject
to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities,
are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination,
the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless
the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such
issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B
common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock
outstanding upon completion of the IPO (not including the shares of Class A common stock issuable to the Representative) plus all
shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination
(excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination, any private
placement-equivalent securities issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company). The Company cannot
determine at this time whether a majority of the holders of the Class B common stock at the time of any future issuance would agree
to waive such adjustment to the conversion ratio. They may waive such adjustment due to (but not limited to) the following: (i) closing
conditions which are part of the agreement for the initial Business Combination; (ii) negotiation with Class A stockholders
on structuring an initial Business Combination; or (iii) negotiation with parties providing financing which would trigger the anti-dilution
provisions of the Class B common stock. If such adjustment is not waived, the issuance would not reduce the percentage ownership
of holders of the Class B common stock, but would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of the Class A common stock. If
such adjustment is waived, the issuance would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of both classes of the Company’s common
stock. Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their shares of Class B common stock into an equal number of shares of
Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time. The term “equity-linked securities” refers
to any debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock issues in a
financing transaction in connection with the initial Business Combination, including but not limited to a private placement of equity
or debt. Securities could be “deemed issued” for purposes of the conversion rate adjustment if such shares are issuable upon
the conversion or exercise of convertible securities, warrants or similar securities.
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 this review, other than described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required
adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.
On April 19, 2023, the Company,
the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative entered into the Second Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the
“Second BCA Amendment”) pursuant to which the parties amended the Business Combination Agreement, as amended, in order (i)
to extend the date by which the Seller Representative is required to deliver Audited Company Financials to the Company from April 7, 2023
to May 1, 2023, (ii) to extend the Due Diligence Period from 5:00 p.m. on April 7, 2023 to 5:00 p.m. May 1, 2023 and (iii) in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, to permit the Company, subject to receiving any required consent
from the holders of Purchaser Public Warrants, to convert the Purchaser Public Warrants into Purchaser Class A Common Stock in a manner
and amount to be specified in the Proxy Statement and approved by the Seller Representative, which Purchaser Class A Common Stock would
be converted automatically into the right to receive one share of Pubco Common Stock at the Closing.

Overview
We are a blank-check company
incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 13, 2021, for the purposes of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition,
stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We may pursue an initial business combination
target in any business or industry.
Recent Developments
On
February 13, 2023, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with (i) Pubco, (ii) the Merger Sub, (iii) SVES, (iv) the Sellers,
(v) the SVES Founders, (vi) our sponsor as the purchaser representative, and (vii) Timothy J. Fullum as the seller representative, as
was amended on March 20, 2023, and as may be further amended from time to time. SVES is a key intermediary connecting full-price fashion
brands with off-price retailers that are able to sell inventory that would otherwise be sold or disposed of by full-price brands at a
significant loss. At the closing of the SVES Business Combination, in accordance with the DGCL, (a) the Merger Sub will merge with and
into the Company, with the Company surviving the business combination as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, and (b) each Seller will
contribute all of its ownership interest in each Operating Company to Pubco in exchange for aggregate consideration in the amount of $632,000,000,
to be paid in the common stock of Pubco valued at $10.00 per share of common stock and (c) each of our public warrants will be converted
into one Pubco public warrant and each of our private placement warrants will be converted into one Pubco private warrant, in each case
with such Pubco warrant having substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in our respective warrants, except that in each
case they will represent the right to acquire shares of Pubco common stock in lieu of shares of our Class A common stock.
On January 12, 2023, we received
a determination letter (the “Determination Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”)
of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the continued listing requirements
of the Nasdaq Listing Rules set forth in (i) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), requiring a minimum of $50 million Market Value of Listed Securities,
(ii) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(B), requiring a minimum 1,100,000 Publicly Held Shares, and (iii) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C), requiring a
minimum of $15 million in Market Value of Publicly Held Shares. In addition, the Determination Letter stated that the Company does not
comply with either of the alternative requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Listing Rules 5450(b)(1) or
5450(b)(3), or the requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Listing Rule 5550. The Determination Letter also
indicated that the Staff had concerns that the Company may no longer comply with the minimum 400 Total Holders requirement of Listing
Rule 5450(a)(2) due to the substantial number of shareholder redemptions and low number of shares remaining outstanding.
The Company had a hearing
before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel on March 2, 2023, to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. That hearing stays any suspension
or delisting of the Company’s securities, and the Company’s securities will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market
until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues a written decision following the hearing.
On February 27, 2023, we
issued an aggregate of 3,593,749 shares of Class A common stock to our sponsor, A.G.P., George Syllantavos and Anastasios Chrysostomidis,
the holders of our Class B common stock, upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B common stock. These shares of class
A common stock are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B common stock before the conversion, including, among other
things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination
as described in the prospectus for our initial public offering. Following the conversion, our sponsor was the beneficial owner of 3,033,905
shares of our Class A common stock and one share of our Class B common stock. The sponsor then transferred 533,525 shares of Class A common
stock to certain members of the sponsor. Subsequent to those transfers, the sponsor holds 2,500,380 shares of Class A common stock and
one share of Class B common stock, as well as 653,750 shares of Class A common stock underlying private placement units, which units were
acquired by the sponsor in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.
On March 20, 2023, the Company,
the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative entered into the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement to extend
the date to conduct additional due diligence on the Target Companies from 5:00 p.m. on March 15, 2023 to 5:00 p.m. on April 7, 2023.
Results of Operations
As of March 31, 2023, we
had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 13, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2023, relates to our formation
and initial public offering and identifying a target company for a business combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until
after the completion of a business combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income
from the proceeds derived from the initial public offering and placed in the trust account.
For the three months ended
March 31, 2023, we had net loss of $1,301,763, which consists of formation and operating costs of $1,061,055, a change in fair value of
warrant liability of $254,731 and provision for income taxes of $1,986, offset by income from investment in trust account of $16,009.
For the three months ended
March 31, 2022, we had net income of $1,389,668, which consists of change in fair value of warrant liability of $1,894,764 and income
from investment in trust account of $13,827, offset by formation and operating costs of $393,748 and warrant issuance cost of $125,175.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023, the
Company had $772,410 in its operating bank account and working capital, excluding franchise and income tax payable, net of interest income
from trust account, of $52,708.
On February 15, 2022, we
consummated the initial public offering of 14,375,000 Units, including 1,875,000 Units pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’
over-allotment option in full, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $143,750,000.
Simultaneously with the closing
of the initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 653,750 private placement units at a price of $10.00 per private placement
unit in a private placement to the sponsor, generating total gross proceeds of $6,537,500.
Transaction costs amounted
to $3,890,326 consisting of $1,437,500 of underwriting commissions, $1,972,398 of the excess of the fair value of Class B common stock
issued to underwriter over the share subscription receivable, and $480,428 of other offering costs.
Following the closing of
our initial public offering, $146,625,000.00 from the net proceeds of the sale of the units in our initial public offering and the sale
of the private placement units was placed in the trust account maintained by Continental, as trustee. In connection with our Special Meeting
held on December 21, 2022, stockholders holding 14,221,705 public shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion
of the funds in our trust account. As a result, approximately $146 million (approximately $10.29 per public share) was removed from the
trust account to pay such holders. As of December 31, 2022, approximately $1,671,810 remained in the trust account.
In connection with the redemptions
of public shares, a total of $133,689 was deducted from our trust account in order to pay taxes prior to the Special Meeting, which amount
had later been determined to be withheld in excess and should be returned to the public stockholders. As such, a portion of this rebate
was sent to the financial institutions that had tendered share redemptions on behalf of their investor clients ahead of the Special Meeting
and the balance to the trust account. The redemption rebate payments total $132,263 ($0.00930008 per redeemed share), with $1,426 returned
in the trust account.
We intend to use substantially
all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account to complete our initial
business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay our taxes and liquidation expenses if we are unsuccessful in completing a business
combination. We may pay our franchise tax from funds from the initial public offering held outside of the trust account or from interest
earned on the funds held in the trust account and released to us for this purpose. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the
amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account reduced by our operating expense and franchise taxes.
We expect the interest earned on the amount in the trust account will be sufficient to pay our income taxes. To the extent that our equity
or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the
trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions
and pursue our growth strategies.
Further, our sponsor or an
affiliate of the sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required for
Working Capital Loans. If we complete a business combination, we would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the trust
account released to us. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the trust account. In the
event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay
the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the trust account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of
such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be
identical to the private placement units. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no such working capital loans were outstanding.
We do not believe we will
need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the
costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual
amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination. Moreover,
we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant
number of our public shares upon consummation of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt
in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing
simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. If we are unable to complete our business combination because we do not
have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our
business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Further, we have determined
that if we are unable to complete a business combination within the Combination Period, then we will (i) cease all operations except for
the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares,
at a per-share price, payable in cash and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval
of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution
as well as our working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been
made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after the applicable extension date.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging
growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain
exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including,
but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements
of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and 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. We have 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, we 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 our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which
has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards
used.
Use of Estimates
This management’s discussion
and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of our financial
statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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. We determined the more significant accounting estimates included in our financial statements is the determination
of the fair value of Derivative Financial Instruments.
We have identified the following
as our critical accounting estimates:
Derivative Financial Instruments
We evaluate our financial
instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments
that are accounted for as liabilities, such as the Company’s public warrants and private placement warrants, the derivative instrument
is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value
reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded
as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheets
as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months
of the balance sheet date.
The valuation of our public
warrants are based on a traded market. Our private placement warrants are valued using a Monte Carlo options pricing model which utilizes
assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates
the volatility of its common stock based on projected volatility of comparable public companies that matches the expected remaining life
of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar
to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is based on management assumptions regarding the timing
and likelihood of completing a Business Combination. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates
to remain at zero.
The estimates used to calculate
the fair value of our derivative assets and liabilities change at each balance sheet date based on our stock price and other assumptions
described above. If our assumptions change or we experience significant volatility in our stock price or interest rates, the fair value
calculated from one balance sheet period to the next could be materially different.
Common stock Subject to Possible Redemption
Our Class A common stock
that was sold as part of the units in the initial public offering contains a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such
public shares in connection with our liquidation, or if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with our initial business
combination. In accordance with ASC Topic 480-10-S99, we classify such public shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity
as the redemption provisions are not solely within our control. The public shares sold as part of the units in the initial public offering
were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., warrants) and as such, the initial carrying value of public shares classified as
temporary equity was the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20 (“Debt—Debt with Conversion and
Other Options”). The public shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99 and are currently not redeemable as the redemption is contingent
upon the occurrence of events mentioned above. According to ASC 480-10-S99-15, no subsequent adjustment is needed if it is not probable
that the instrument will become redeemable.
Accordingly, as of March
31, 2023, 153,295 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity,
outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our balance sheet. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of Class
A common stock resulted in charges against accumulated deficit.
In connection with the Special
Meeting on December 21, 2022, stockholders holding 14,221,705 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares
for a pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account (approximately $10.29 per public share). Following the redemptions, as of March
31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 153,295 public shares outstanding and a total of 807,045 shares of Class A common stock were
outstanding, including the 653,750 shares of Class A common stock that were beneficially owned by our sponsor, respectively. Following
the conversion of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock on February 27, 2023, and subsequent transactions, there are
currently 153,295 public shares outstanding and a total of 4,400,794 shares of Class A common stock are outstanding, including the 2,500,380
shares of Class A common stock and the one share of Class B common stock that are beneficially owned by our sponsor.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, 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 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within
those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2020-06 effective as of April 13, 2021. That adoption of ASU 2020-06
did not have an impact on our financial statements.
Management does not believe
that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on
our unaudited condensed financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2023 and
December 31, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Factors That May Adversely Affect Our Results
of Operations
Our results of operations
and our ability to complete an initial business combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty
and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things,
downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply
chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and
the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully
predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact
our business and our ability to complete an initial business combination.
