FAT PROJECTS ACQUISITION CORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1—Organization, Business Operation and Going Concern
Fat Projects Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on April 16, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). As described below, the Company has selected a target for its initial Business Combination and entered into a Business Combination Agreement with that target.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 16, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2022, relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) described below and since the closing of the IPO, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination, the negotiation of the Business Combination Agreement described below and the preparation and filing on October 5, 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to the Business Combination (the “Form S-4”). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO.
The Company’s sponsor is Fat Projects SPAC Pte Ltd, a Singapore corporation (the “Sponsor”).
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on October 12, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On October 15, 2021, the Company’s consummated the IPO of 11,500,000 units at $ 10.00 per unit (the “Units”) (including the underwriters’ over-allotment option), which is discussed in Note 3 (the “IPO”), and the sale of 2,865,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $ 11.50 per share, at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor that closed simultaneously with the IPO.
The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80 % of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will complete the initial Business Combination only if the post-Business Combination company in which its public shareholders own shares will own or acquire 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or is otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.
Following the closing of the IPO, management has agreed that an amount equal to at least $ 10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, including the proceeds of the Private Placement Warrants, is being held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations 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 its tax obligations and up to $ 100,000 of interest that may be used for its dissolution expenses, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the placement warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or certain amendments to the Company’s charter prior thereto or to redeem 100 % of the public shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period as defined below or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, and (c) the redemption of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period subject to applicable law.
6
The Company will provide its public shareholders 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 shareholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require the Company to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or share exchange listing requirements.
The Company will provide its public shareholders 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 its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is initially $10.00 per public share, however, there is no guarantee that investors will receive $10.00 per share upon redemption. The per-share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters.
All ordinary shares 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 has net tangible assets of at least $ 5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that the Company has only 12 months from the closing of the IPO (which was automatically extended to January 15, 2023 upon the filing of Form S-4 on October 5, 2022), or up to 21 months if the Company further extends the period of time to consummate a business combination, or if the Company’s shareholders further extend the time period, in each case in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association) to complete the initial Business Combination (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 its 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 shareholders’ rights as shareholders (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 shareholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above to the Company’s obligations under the laws of Cayman Islands to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within Combination Period.
The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and public shares held by them in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and public shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or certain amendments to the Company’s charter prior thereto or to redeem 100 % of the public shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete its 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 its initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame.
7
The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the independent public accounting firm) 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) $10.00 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 $10.00 per public share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account, 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 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. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
The anchor investors will not be entitled to (i) redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association in a manner that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (iii) rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them 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 Combination Period).
Subject to each anchor investor purchasing 100% of the units allocated to it, in connection with the closing of the IPO the Sponsor sold 75,000 founder shares to each anchor investor ( 750,000 founder shares in the aggregate) at their original purchase price of approximately $ 0.009 (See Note 6).
Merger
On August 26, 2022, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Avanseus Holdings Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares (“Avanseus”) (as may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”).
The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of each of the Company and Avanseus (other than the PIPE Investment as defined below, which will require further approval of each board of directors), subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders.
The Business Combination Agreement provides for a series of transactions, pursuant to which, among other things, Avanseus’ shareholders will exchange all of their outstanding Avanseus shares in consideration for newly issued Company Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Share Exchange”), subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, with Avanseus thereby becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the Share Exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, together, the “Business Combination” or the “Proposed Transaction”). In connection with the Business Combination, the Company will change its corporate name to “Avanseus Holdings Corporation” (“New Avanseus”).
The Business Combination Agreement provides that the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into and consummate subscription agreements in form and substance mutually acceptable to the Company and Avanseus with investors mutually reasonably acceptable to the Company and Avanseus pursuant to which such investors will agree to purchase up to an aggregate of $ 35 million of (i) the Company’s Series A Convertible Preference Shares, which shares will be convertible into the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, and/or (ii) the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, with such purchases to be consummated prior to or substantially currently with the closing of the Share Exchange (the “PIPE Investment”).
8
The Business Combination is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023, following the receipt of the required approval by the Company’s shareholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.
On October 3, 2022, the Company and Avanseus entered into a First Amendment to Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA Amendment”) to amend the previously announced Business Combination Agreement dated August 26, 2022. The BCA Amendment amended the Original Business Combination Agreement to (1) add a mutual condition to the obligations of the Company and Avanseus to close the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement that holders of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares redeem an aggregate of at least 5,200,000 of such shares so that Avanseus will be the acquiror for accounting purposes at both the minimum and maximum redemption levels required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (2) replace the form of Incentive Equity Plan attached to the Original Business Combination Agreement with an amended Incentive Equity Plan to conform the eligible participants in the plan to the eligible participants listed in the Original Business Combination Agreement, (3) improve the description of the Nasdaq listing process in the Business Combination Agreement for the Company Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued to Avanseus’ shareholders and pursuant to the Incentive Equity Plan and (4) provide that subscription agreements for PIPE investors be mutually reasonably acceptable to Avanseus as well as the Company. On October 5, 2022, the Company filed the Form S-4 with SEC with respect to the Business Combination.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $ 243,991 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of $ 766,960 .
The Company’s liquidity needs prior to IPO, had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $ 25,000 (see Note 5) for the founder shares to cover certain offering costs, the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of up to $ 300,000 (see Note 5), and borrowings from related parties (see Note 5). Subsequent from the consummation of the IPO, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account.
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans, as defined below (see Note 5). As of September 30, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company has and will continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our initial 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 initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Accounts. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
9
In addition, management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a business combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has until October 15, 2022, to consummate a Business Combination, which was automatically extended to January 15, 2023 upon the filing of the Form S-4 on October 5, 2022 unless the Company further extends the period of time to consummate a business combination, or unless the Company’s shareholders approve of a further extension, in each case in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution unless there are further extensions as described above. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after January 15, 2023 (assuming no further extensions). Management has determined that the 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.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of this financial statement. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Additionally, as a result of the military action commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in the country of Ukraine and related economic sanctions, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. Further, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022, or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
10
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non- emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of $ 243,991 and $ 754,893 and no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Investments Held in Trust Account
On September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account consist of United States Treasury securities. The Company classifies its United States Treasury securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 320 “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the period from April 16, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the Company did not withdraw any of the interest income from the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations.
A decline in the market value of held-to-maturity securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in an impairment that reduces the carrying costs to such securities’ fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and the duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year-end, forecasted performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry in which the investee operates.
Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Such amortization and accretion are included in the “interest income” line item in the statement of operations. Interest income is recognized when earned.
11
The carrying value, excluding gross unrealized holding loss and fair value of held to maturity securities on September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, are as follows:
| Summary of gross holding losses and fair value of held-to-maturity securities |
| Carrying Value as of September 30, 2022 | Gross Unrealized Gains | Gross Unrealized Losses | Fair Value As of September 30, 2022 |
| U.S. Treasury Securities | $ | 115,803,480 | $ | 12,715 | $ | — | $ | 115,816,195 |

| Carrying Value as of December 31, 2021 | Gross Unrealized Gains | Gross Unrealized Losses | Fair Value as of December 31, 2021 |
| U.S. Treasury Securities | $ | 115,010,543 | $ | 2,237 | $ | — | $ | 115,012,390 |

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $ 250,000 . As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company was not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering
The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees, other costs incurred through the IPO that were directly related to the IPO, and fair value in excess of consideration paid with respect to the Founder Shares sold to the anchor investors. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $ 11,883,987 as a result of the IPO consisting of $ 1,150,000 of underwriting commissions, $ 1,092,380 fair value of Representative Shares, $ 4,025,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, $ 554,107 of other offering costs and $ 5,062,500 of fair value in excess of consideration paid with respect to the Founder Shares sold to the anchor investors. Of the total offering costs, $ 11,284,247 was charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO and $ 599,740 was charged to equity.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2022. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.
12
Net Loss Per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Remeasurement adjustments associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted loss per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) IPO, and (ii) the private placement because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 14,365,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net loss per ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for the periods presented.
The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. No warrants were exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 , for the period from April 16, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, and the three months ended September 30, 2021. As a result, diluted net loss per ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for the period. In connection with the underwriters exercise of their over-allotment option on October 15, 2021, 375,000 Class B ordinary shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. These shares were excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding until they were no longer subject to forfeiture. Accretion of the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares to redemption value is excluded from net loss per ordinary share because the redemption value approximates fair value.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share:
| Reconciliation of Net Loss per Common Share |

13
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 2,865,000 Private Placement Warrants were issued in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant is recorded as equity. The Company accounts for its outstanding warrants as equity-classified instruments based on such guidance.
All of the 11,500,000 ordinary shares 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 shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Public Shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.
The Company issued to Hutton and/or its designees, 115,000 Class A ordinary shares upon the consummation of the IPO. Hutton has agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such ordinary shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such ordinary shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (See Note 6).
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:
| Summary of reconciliation ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the balance sheet |
| Gross proceeds from IPO | $ | 115,000,000 |

| Plus: |
| Accretion of carrying value to redemption value | 803,480 |
| Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption at September 30, 2022 | 115,803,480 |

Share Based Compensation
The Company complies with ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation regarding interest in founder shares acquired by directors of the Company at prices below fair value. The interest in acquired shares shall vest upon the Company consummating an initial Business Combination (the “Vesting Date”). If prior to the Vesting Date, the director ceases to be a director, the interest in the founder shares will be forfeited. The interest in the founder shares owned by the director (1) may not be sold or transferred, until 180 days after the consummation of a Business Combination, and (2) may not be entitled to redemption from the funds held in the Trust Account, or any liquidating distributions. The Company has 12 months. which was automatically extended to 15 months with respect to the filing of Form S-4 on October 5, 2022, (or up to 21 months if the Company further extends the period of time to consummate a business combination, or if the Company’s shareholders approve an extension, in each case in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association) from the date of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination, and if a Business Combination is not consummated, the Company will liquidate and the interest in the founder shares will become worthless (see Note 5).
14
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature. The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’ own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Level 1—Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3—Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.
Financial Instruments
The Company will account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time warrant issuance and as of each subsequent annual period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company accounts for its outstanding warrants as equity-classified.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
15
Note 3— Initial Public Offering
Public Units
On October 15, 2021, the Company sold 11,500,000 Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”).
Ten qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors which are not affiliated with the Company, the Sponsor, the directors or any member of the Company’s management (the “anchor investors”) have purchased 950,000 Units each, or 9,500,000 in the aggregate, in the IPO at the offering price of $ 10.00 per Unit. There can be no assurance that the anchor investors will retain their shares, if any, prior to or upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination.
Following the closing of the IPO on October 15, 2021, $ 115,000,000 ($ 10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was deposited into the Trust Account, invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act with 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.
Public Warrants
Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares 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 Class A ordinary share (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 such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60 % of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A ordinary share 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, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115 % of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $ 18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180 % of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO or the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company has not registered the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. However, 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 issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective within 60 business days following the initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business 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 has 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. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.
16
Redemption of warrants. 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 given after the warrants become exercisable (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and |

| ● | if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivision, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing once the warrants become exercisable and ending 3 business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |

Note 4—Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company’s Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 2,865,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Placement Warrants, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 2,865,000 . The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable (except to certain permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and they will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. In accordance with one of the permitted exceptions to the restrictions on transfer of the Private Warrants, promptly after the completion of the IPO, the Sponsor distributed all of the Private Warrants to its shareholders. Therefore, the Sponsor itself no longer holds any of the Private Warrants, and all of the Private Warrants are held by the Sponsor’s Shareholders (the “Sponsor’s Shareholders”).
The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis. The placement warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the placement warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.
The Private Placement Warrants and the warrants included in the units sold in the offering are redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same terms.
Note 5—Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On April 22, 2021, the Sponsor paid, $ 25,000 , or approximately $ 0.009 per share, to cover certain offering costs and expenses in consideration for 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001 . Up to 375,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised. The underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option at the IPO resulting in no Founder Shares subject to forfeiture.
The Sponsor, directors and executive officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares (or Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earlier of (A) six months after the date of the Company’s initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Company’s initial Business Combination, (x) if the reported last sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds US $ 12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, right issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30 -trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property.
17
In September 2021, the Company received expressions of interest from anchor investors to purchase Units in the IPO. Subject to each anchor investor purchasing 100 % of the Units allocated to it, in connection with the closing of the IPO the Sponsor sold 75,000 founder shares to each anchor investor ( 750,000 founder shares in the aggregate) at their original purchase price of approximately $ 0.009 per share. The Company accounted for the fair value in excess of consideration paid with respect to the number of Founder Shares sold to the anchor investors as an offering cost reflected as an increase to additional paid in capital offset by a reduction of the offering proceeds upon completion of the IPO. The fair value of each Founder Share was determined to be $ 6.75 per share or approximately $ 5,062,500 (see note 6). Valuation of the Founder Shares was determined using an internal valuation model driven primarily by the initial issuance price of our Class A ordinary shares, an assumed value of $ 1.00 for the warrants included in the Units, and a 75 % probability of successfully completing an initial Business Combination.
On October 18, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 2,070,000 Class B ordinary shares held by it to its Sponsor’s Shareholders, which include all of the Company’s directors and executive officers or companies controlled by them.
Share Based Compensation
In April and May 2021, the Company’s sponsor transferred interests in a total of 55,000 Founder Shares to directors.
The Company has determined the valuation of the Class B ordinary shares as of the Grant Dates. The valuation resulted in a fair value of approximately $ 1.45 per share as of the Grant Dates, or an aggregate of $ 79,821 for the 55,000 shares. As vesting of Founder Shares to directors is contingent upon the closing of an initial Business Combination, a performance condition is not probable of occurring at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Upon consummation of an initial Business Combination the Company will recognize $ 79,821 in compensation expense.
Due from related party
Since April 16, 2021 (inception), related parties have paid for certain offering costs and expenses on behalf of the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, no payment was made. At December 31, 2021 an excess of $ 50,000 was repaid to those related parties and was due back to the Company. As of March 31, 2022, the unpaid balance is $ 90,000 . On April 26, 2022, the Company was repaid all amounts due to the Company from the related parties.
Promissory Note—Related Party
On May 6, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $ 300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. These loans were non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of October 31, 2021, or the closing of the IPO. On September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, no amount was outstanding on the promissory note. The promissory note has expired, and no borrowings are permitted on this note.
Working Capital Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may 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 warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $ 1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
Office Space, Secretarial and Administrative Services
Commencing on the date that the Company’s securities are first listed on the NASDAQ through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation, the Company has agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $ 10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the expense for office space, secretarial and administrative services was $ 30,000 and $ 90,000 , respectively. On September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the unpaid balance was $ 0 and $ 26,129 , respectively, and reported on the balance sheet as due to related party.

Note 6—Commitments & Contingencies
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, the representative shares, Placement Warrants (including component securities contained therein) and warrants (including securities contained therein) that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants and any Class A ordinary shares and warrants (and underlying Class A ordinary share) that may be issued upon exercise of the warrants as part of the Working Capital Loans and Class A ordinary share issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on October 12, 2021, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to the Company’s Class A ordinary shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriters Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a 45 -day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any. At the IPO, the underwriters fully exercised their option to purchase the additional 1,500,000 units.
The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of one percent ( 1 %) of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $ 1,150,000 . Additionally, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5 % of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $ 4,025,000 , upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination.
Anchor Investors
The Sponsor entered into an agreement with ten strategic investors (each referred to as an “anchor investor”) for the purchase of 75,000 Founder Shares each at the same price the Sponsor paid ($ 0.009 per share). The anchor investors purchased 9,500,000 Units in the IPO. The Company can make no assurance that the anchor investor will retain their shares, if any, upon the completion of the Company’s Business Combination. As a result of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants that the anchor investor may hold, it may have different interests with respect to a vote on an initial Business Combination than other public shareholders (see Note 5).
The Company accounted for the fair value in excess of consideration paid with respect to the number of Founder Shares sold to the anchor investors as an offering cost reflected as an increase to additional paid in capital offset by a reduction of the offering proceeds upon completion of the IPO. The fair value of each Founder Share was determined to be $ 6.75 per share or approximately $ 5,062,500 in the aggregate for all 750,000 Founder Shares transferred to the anchor investors (see note 5). Valuation of the Founder Shares was determined using an internal valuation model and classified as a Level 3 valuation. The valuation was driven primarily by the initial issuance price of the Public Units, an assumed value of $ 1.00 for the warrants included in the Units, and a 75 % probability of successfully completing an initial Business Combination.
Representative Shares
The Company issued to Hutton and/or its designees (the “Representatives”) 115,000 Class A ordinary shares upon the consummation of the IPO. Hutton has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such ordinary shares until the completion of the initial Business Combination. In addition, Hutton has agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such ordinary shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such ordinary shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
19
The ordinary shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of the registration statement of which the IPO forms a part pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA’s NASD Conduct Rules. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated or the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement of which the IPO forms a part, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of the IPO except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners, registered persons or affiliates or as otherwise permitted under Rule 5110(e)(2).
The Company accounted for the fair value of the Class A ordinary shares issued to the Representatives as an offering cost reflected as an increase to additional paid in capital offset by a reduction of the offering proceeds upon completion of the IPO. The fair value of each Class A ordinary share was determined to be $ 9.00 per share or approximately $ 1,092,380 . Valuation of the Class A ordinary shares was determined using an internal valuation model and classified as a Level 3 valuation. The valuation was driven primarily by the initial issuance price of the Public Units, and an assumed value of approximately $ 1 for the warrants included in the Units.
Note 7—Shareholders’ Deficit
Preference shares—The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 and with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors.

Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders except as required by law. Unless specified in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, or as required by applicable provisions of the Companies Act or applicable share exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s ordinary shares that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by the Company’s shareholders.
20
The Class B ordinary shares and will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares (which such Class A ordinary shares delivered upon conversion will not have redemption rights or be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account if the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination) at the time of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof at a ratio such that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20 % of the sum of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon the completion of the IPO, plus (ii) the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued or to be issued to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, its affiliates or any member of the Company’s management team upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, unless the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to such issuance or deemed issuance at the time thereof. In no event will the Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one-to-one.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other SEC filings.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on April 16, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses. While our efforts to identify a target business may span many industries and regions worldwide, we focus our search for prospects within the supply chain, transportation, logistics, finance, sustainability/ESG, food, agriculture, e-commerce, and/or big data sectors. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the private placement of the Private Units, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial Business Combination, shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.
Proposed Business Combination
On August 26, 2022, we entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Avanseus Holdings Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares (“Avanseus”) (as may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”).
The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by our board of directors and the Avanseus board of directors (other than the PIPE Investment as described below which will require further approval of the boards of directors), subject to the approval of our shareholders .
The Business Combination Agreement provides for a series of transactions, pursuant to which, among other things, Avanseus’ shareholders will exchange all of their outstanding Avanseus shares in consideration for newly issued Company Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Share Exchange”), subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, with Avanseus thereby becoming our wholly owned subsidiary (the Share Exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, together, the “Business Combination” or the “Proposed Transaction”). In connection with the Business Combination, we will change our corporate name to “Avanseus Holdings Corporation” (“New Avanseus”).
22
The Business Combination Agreement provides that the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into and consummate subscription agreements in form and substance mutually acceptable to the Company and Avanseus with investors mutually reasonably acceptable to the Company and Avanseus pursuant to which such investors will agree to purchase up to an aggregate of $35 million of (i) the Company’s Series A Convertible Preference Shares, which shares will be convertible into the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, and/or (ii) the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, with such purchases to be consummated prior to or substantially currently with the closing of the Share Exchange (the “PIPE Investment”).
The Business Combination is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023, following the receipt of the required approval by our shareholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.
On October 3, 2022, Avanseus and we entered into a First Amendment to Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA Amendment”) to amend the previously announced Business Combination Agreement dated August 26, 2022. The BCA Amendment amends the Original Business Combination Agreement to (1) add a mutual condition to the obligations of Avanseus and us to close the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement that holders of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares redeem an aggregate of at least 5,200,000 of such shares so that Avanseus will be the acquiror for accounting purposes at both the minimum and maximum redemption levels required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (2) replace the form of Incentive Equity Plan attached to the Original Business Combination Agreement with an amended Incentive Equity Plan to conform the eligible participants in the plan to the eligible participants listed in the Original Business Combination Agreement, (3) improve the description of the Nasdaq listing process in the Business Combination Agreement for our Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued to Avanseus’ shareholders and pursuant to the Incentive Equity Plan and (4) provide that subscription agreements for PIPE investors be mutually reasonably acceptable to Avanseus as well as us.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through September 30, 2022, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for an initial Business Combination, negotiating the Business Combination Agreement and the preparation and filing on October 5, 2022 with the SEC the Form S-4 with respect to the Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Accounts. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses and expenses incurred in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement and preparing and filing the Form S-4.
For three months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $676,820, which consisted of formation and operating costs $1,254,482, offset by interest earned on investments held in Trust Account of $577,662.
For nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $913,423, which consisted of formation and operating costs of $1,706,360, offset by interest earned on investments held in Trust Account of $792,937.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $43,886, which consisted primarily of formation and operating costs.
For the period from April 16, 2021 (inception) to September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $50,293, which consisted primarily of formation and operating costs.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
On October 15, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 2,865,000 Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $2,865,000.
23
For nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $510,902. Our net loss of $913,423 resulted from formation and operating costs of $1,706,360 partially offset by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $792,937. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $1,125,458 of cash from operating activities.
For period from April 16, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $36,198. Our net loss of $50,293 resulted from formation and operating costs of $50,772 partially offset by formation and operating costs paid by sponsor of $479. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $13,616 of cash from operating activities.
As of September 30, 2022, we had investments of $115,803,480 held in the Trust Accounts. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Accounts, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Accounts (less taxes paid and deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. During the period ended September 30, 2022, we did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Accounts. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Accounts will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of September 30, 2022, we had cash of $243,991 outside of the Trust Accounts. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Accounts primarily to structure, negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with our initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Accounts to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Accounts would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company has and will continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our initial 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 initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Accounts. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
In addition, management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a business combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has until October 15, 2022, which was automatically extended to January 15, 2023 when we filed the Form S-4 on October 5, 2022, to consummate a Business Combination unless the Company further extends the period of time to consummate a business combination, or unless the Company’s shareholders approve of a further extension, in each case in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution unless there are further extensions as described above. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after January 15, 2023 (assuming no further extensions).
24
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2022. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee up to $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services. We began incurring these fees on October 12, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $4,025,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates
This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these unaudited financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our unaudited financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Offering Costs
We comply with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs consists of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering, and fair value in excess of consideration paid with respect to the Founder Shares sold to the anchor investors. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments to be issued in the IPO based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Upon closing of the IPO on October 15, 2021, offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares were charged to temporary equity. Offering costs associated with the warrants were changed to equity. The Sponsor sold 75,000 founder shares to anchor investor (750,000 founder shares in the aggregate) at approximately $0.009 per share. The Company accounted for the fair value in excess of consideration paid with respect to the number of Founder Shares sold to the anchor investors as an offering cost reflected as an increase to additional paid in capital offset by a reduction of the offering proceeds upon completion of the IPO. The fair value of each Founder Share was determined to be $6.75.
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.
25
Net Loss Per Ordinary Share
We comply with the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of us. As a result, diluted loss per ordinary share is the same as basic loss per ordinary share for the period presented.
Financial Instruments
We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent annual period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company accounts for its outstanding warrants as equity-classified.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
As of September 30, 2022, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds received into the Trust Accounts, have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 185 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in US treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the three and nine months period ending September 30, 2022, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness related to our internal control over financial reporting process and related party transactions. Additionally, like many blank check companies, we lack adequate resources to properly account for and report our transactions to our auditors. Due to the impact on our financial statements, we determined we have a material weakness.
26
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting except as follows.
Management has identified a material weakness in internal controls related to the financial reporting process and related party transactions and to properly account for and report our transactions. In light of the material weakness identified, we have been implementing processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements. We plan to enhance our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
27
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
None.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our final prospectus for the Initial Public Offering declared effective by the SEC on October 12, 2021. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, other than as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus of our Initial Public Offering filed with the SEC.
The risk factor disclosure in our final prospectus as set forth under the heading “Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and results of operations” is replaced in its entirety with the following risk factor:
Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and results of operations.
We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. We will be required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and results of operations.
On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules relating to, among other items, disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities. These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in a revised form, may increase the costs of and the time needed to negotiate and complete an initial business combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete an initial business combination.
On April 22, 2021, we issued 2,875,000 founder shares to the Fat Projects PTE. LTD. (the “Sponsor”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share, pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. In September 2021, the Company received expressions of interest from anchor investors to purchase Units in the IPO. Subject to each anchor investor purchasing 100% of the Units allocated to it, in connection with the closing of the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) the Sponsor sold 75,000 founder shares to each anchor investor (750,000 founder shares in the aggregate) at their original purchase price of approximately $0.009 per share. The Company accounted for the fair value in excess of consideration paid with respect to the number of Founder Shares sold to the anchor investors as an offering cost reflected as an increase to additional paid in capital offset by a reduction of the offering proceeds upon completion of the IPO. The fair value of each Founder Share was determined to be $6.75.

On October 15, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) and one warrant of the Company (each, a “Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, pursuant to the Company’s registration statements on Form S-1 (File No. 333-257126). The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000. On October 13, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their exercise of the over-allotment option in full and purchased 1,500,000 additional Units (the “Additional Units”) at $10.00 per Unit upon the closing of the over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $15,000,000. The over-allotment option closed on October 15, 2021. As previously reported on a Form 8-K, on October 15, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 2,865,000 warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $2,865,000.
A total of $115,000,000 was deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.
For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in the Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report.

Question: What will be the new worth of the shareholders' deficit if the company takes $35 million from the PIPE investment after paying off the working capital deficit?

Python solution:
def solution():
     #Define variables name and value
    shareholders_deficit_sept_2021 = -25293
    working_capital_deficit_sept_2022 = -766960
    PIPE_investment = 35000000

    #Do math calculation to get the answer
    shareholders_deficit_updated = shareholders_deficit_sept_2021 - working_capital_deficit_sept_2022 + PIPE_investment
    answer = shareholders_deficit_updated
    return answer
