NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS, LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
Better World Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 5, 2020. The Company is a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”).
Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company is focused on target businesses in the healthy living industries that benefit from strong Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) profiles. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from August 5, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the marketable securities held in the Trust Account (as defined below).
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on November 12, 2020. On November 17, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 110,000,000 , which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 4,800,000 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Warrant in a private placement to BWA Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”) and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EarlyBirdCapital”), generating gross proceeds of $ 4,800,000 , which is described in Note 4.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on November 17, 2020, an amount of $ 111,100,000 ($ 10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account, as described below.
On November 17, 2020, the underwriters notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise their over-allotment option on November 19, 2020. As such, on November 19, 2020, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 1,618,600 Units, at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 16,186,000 , and the sale of an additional 485,580 Private Warrants, at $ 1.00 per Private Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $ 485,580 . A total of $ 16,347,860 of the net proceeds was deposited into the Trust Account on November 20, 2020, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $ 127,447,860 . On November 9, 2021, in connection with the first extension of the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination, a total of $ 1,261,860 was deposited into the Trust Account. On February 17, 2022, a total of $ 1,261,860 was deposited in the Trust Account in connection with the second extension of the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination to May 17, 2022. On May 18, 2022, a total of $ 500,000 was deposited into the Trust Account in connection with a further extension of the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination to August 17, 2022. On August 17, 2022, a total of $ 360,000 was deposited into the Trust Account in connection with a further extension of the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination to February 17, 2023.
Transaction costs amounted to $ 2,880,354 consisting of $ 2,523,720 of underwriting fees and $ 356,634 of other offering costs.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. The Company must complete a Business Combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80 % of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into an initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022
(Unaudited)
The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($ 10.46 per Public Share as of September 30, 2022 and $ 10.20 per Public Share as of December 31, 2021, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.
The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $ 5,000,001 immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Representative Shares (as defined in Note 8) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (a) in favor of approving a Business Combination and (b) not to redeem any shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a Business Combination or sell any shares to the Company in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination.
The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect a public stockholders’ ability to convert or sell their shares to the Company in connection with a Business Combination or affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100 % of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
On November 9, 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved the first extension of the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from November 17, 2021 to February 17, 2022. In connection with the extension, the Sponsor deposited into the Trust Account $ 0.10 for each of the 12,618,600 shares issued in the Initial Public Offering, for a total of $ 1,261,860 . The Company issued the Sponsor a non-interest bearing unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $ 1,261,860 which is payable by the Company upon the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. The Note may be repaid in cash or convertible into Private Warrants at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Warrant. On February 16, 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved the second extension of the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from February 17, 2022 to May 17, 2022. In connection with the second extension, the Sponsor deposited into the Trust Account an additional $ 1,261,860 ($ 0.10 per Public Share) on February 17, 2022, and the Company amended and restated the promissory note in its entirety solely to increase the principal amount thereunder from $ 1,261,860 to $ 2,523,720 . On May 12, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders in which a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from May 17, 2022 to August 17, 2022 (the “Combination Period”) was approved by the stockholders. In connection with this extension, the Company deposited $ 500,000 into the Trust Account on May 18, 2022. The Company amended and restated the promissory note to increase the principal amount thereunder from $ 2,523,720 to $ 3,223,720 , which included a drawdown of $ 500,000 for the extension and a drawdown of $ 200,000 for working capital needs. On August 17, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders in which the Company’s stockholders approved a second amendment to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from August 17, 2022 to February 17, 2023. On August 17, 2022, the Company amended and restated the promissory note to increase the principal amount thereunder from $ 3,223,720 to $ 3,683,720 , which included a drawdown of $ 360,000 for the extension and $ 100,000 for working capital purposes.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the amount of funds initially deposited into the Trust Account (initially $ 10.10 per share, subsequently increased to $ 10.46 per share as of September 30, 2022 following extensions).
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $ 10.10 per Public Share, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a valid and enforceable agreement with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the insiders will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the insiders will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the military conflict in the Ukraine and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus and the military conflict could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impacts are not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1 % excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1 % of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.
Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will use the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.
The Company expects it will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until February 17, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date and an extension has not been requested by the Sponsor and approved by the Company’s stockholders, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and the mandatory liquidation and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after February 17, 2023. The Company intends to continue to search for and seek to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of the time of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. 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.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the balance sheet for December 31, 2021 to reclassify the deferred legal fees balance from accrued expenses to a separate deferred legal fees line.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company 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 the condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Two of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities as well as the fair value of the convertible promissory note. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
At September 30, 2022, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S Treasury securities. At December 31, 2021, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury Securities. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in the Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has withdrawn $ 358,711 of interest income from the Trust Account to pay certain tax obligations.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the common stock reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:
| Gross proceeds | $ | 126,186,000 |
| Less: |
| Common stock issuance costs | ( 2,868,790 | ) |
| Plus: |
| Accretion of carrying value to redemption value | 5,392,510 |

Warrant Liabilities
The Company accounts for the Private Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D and 7F under which the Private Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Private Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Private Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations. The Private Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a binomial lattice simulation model.

Convertible Promissory Note – Related Party
The Company accounts for its convertible promissory note under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Under 815-15-25, the election can be at the inception of a financial instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825. The Company has made such election for its convertible promissory note. Using fair value option, the convertible promissory note is required to be recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the note are recognized as non-cash change in the fair value of the convertible promissory note in the statements of operations. The fair value of the option to convert the convertible promissory note into Private Warrants was valued by utilizing a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it.
The Company’s effective tax rate was 2.68 % and 0.00 % for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 0.80 % and 0.00 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21 % for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, due to changes in fair value in warrant liability, changes in the fair value of the convertible promissory note and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
While ASC 740 identifies usage of an effective annual tax rate for purposes of an interim provision, it does allow for estimating individual elements in the current period if they are significant, unusual, or infrequent. Computing the effective tax rate for the Company is complicated due to the potential impact of the timing of any Business Combination expenses and the actual interest income that will be recognized during the year. The Company has taken a position as to the calculation of income tax expense in a current period based on ASC 740-270-25-3 which states, “If an entity is unable to estimate part of its ordinary income (or loss) or the related tax (benefit) but is otherwise able to make a reasonable estimate, the tax (or benefit) applicable to the item that cannot be estimated shall be reported in the interim period in which the item is reported.” The Company believes its calculation to be a reliable estimate and allows it to properly take into account the usual elements that can impact its annualized book income and its impact on the effective tax rate. As such, the Company is computing its taxable income (loss) and associated income tax provision based on actual results through September 30, 2022.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Net Income Per Common Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from income per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted income per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 17,904,180 shares of common stock in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then participate in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income per common share is the same as basic net income per common share for the periods presented.

Reconciliation of Net Income per Common Share
The Company’s net income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to common stock subject to possible redemption, as these shares only participate in the earnings of the Trust Account and not the income or losses of the Company. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income per common share is calculated as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 | Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 |

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation maximum coverage of $ 250,000 . The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.
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 condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for warrant liabilities (see Note 9).
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company assessed the potential impact of ASU 2020-06 and determined it would not have a material impact on the condensed financial statements as presented.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.
NOTE 3. PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 11,000,000 Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option on November 19, 2020, the Company sold an additional 1,618,600 Units, at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Unit. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (see Note 8).
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital purchased an aggregate of 4,800,000 Private Warrants at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $ 4,800,000 . The Sponsor purchased 3,975,000 Private Warrants and EarlyBirdCapital purchased 825,000 Private Warrants. In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option on November 19, 2020, the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital purchased an additional 485,580 Private Warrants, at a purchase price of $ 1.00 per Private Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 485,580 . Each Private Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per full share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). The proceeds from the Private Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law).
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On August 5, 2020, the Sponsor paid $ 25,000 to cover certain offering costs of the Company in consideration for 3,593,750 shares of common stock (the “Founder Shares”). On November 9, 2020, the Sponsor returned to the Company for cancellation, at no cost, an aggregate of 718,750 Founder Shares, resulting in an aggregate of 2,875,000 Founder Shares outstanding and held by the Sponsor. On November 12, 2020, the Company effected a stock dividend of 0.1 shares for each share of common stock outstanding, resulting in an aggregate of 3,162,500 Founder Shares outstanding and held by the Sponsor. The Founder Shares included, after giving retroactive effect to the share surrender and stock dividend, an aggregate of up to 412,500 shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor would collectively own 20 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor did not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering). In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the forfeiture of the remaining over-allotment option, 7,850 Founder Shares were forfeited, and 404,650 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture resulting in an aggregate of 3,154,650 Founder Shares outstanding at September 30, 2022.
The Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until (1) with respect to 50% of the Founder Shares, the earlier of one year after the completion of a Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after a Business Combination and (2) with respect to the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares, one year after the completion of a Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Due from Sponsor
At the closing of the Initial Public Offering on November 17, 2020, an aggregate amount of $ 25,038 was due to the Company. Such amount was paid by the Company to the Sponsor and was included in the prepaid expenses and other current assets on the balance sheet at December 31, 2020. No balance remains outstanding as of September 30, 2022.
Administrative Support Agreement
The Company has agreed, commencing on November 12, 2020 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Company’s management a total of $ 10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial support. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $ 30,000 and $ 90,000 , respectively, in fees for these services, of which such amounts are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred and paid $ 30,000 and $ 90,000 , respectively, in fees for these services.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On August 5, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $ 300,000 . The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) March 31, 2021, (ii) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering or (iii) the date on which the Company determined not to proceed with the Initial Public Offering. The outstanding balance under the Promissory Note was repaid subsequent to the Initial Public Offering. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, no balance is outstanding under the Promissory Note. Borrowings under the Promissory Note are no longer available.
Related Party Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Each loan would be evidenced by promissory note. The notes may be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $ 1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon completion of a Business Combination into warrants at a price of $ 1.00 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Warrants. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.
On April 14, 2022 the Sponsor advanced to the Company $ 100,000 to be used for working capital purposes. On August 17, 2022, the Company transferred the advance from the Sponsor to the second amended and restated promissory note (see Convertible Promissory Note – Related Party below). On October 13, 2022, the Sponsor advanced to the Company $ 200,000 to be used for working capital purposes.
Related Party Extension Loans
As discussed in Note 1, the Company previously extended the period of time to consummate a Business Combination two times, each by an additional three months (to May 17, 2022 to complete a Business Combination). In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees deposited into the Trust Account $1,261,860 ($0.10 per Public Share), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each three-month extension. Payments were made in the form of a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note to be paid upon consummation of a Business Combination, or, at the relevant insider’s discretion, converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into additional Private Warrants at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Warrant. The Sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for the Company to complete a Business Combination. On May 12, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders at which a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from May 17, 2022 to August 17, 2022 was approved by stockholders. In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees deposited into the Trust Account $ 500,000 . On August 15, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders at which a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from August 17, 2022 to February 17, 2023 was approved by stockholders. In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees deposited into the Trust Account $ 360,000 .

Convertible Promissory Note – Related Party
On November 9, 2021, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $ 1,261,860 to the Sponsor in connection with the Extension (“Convertible Promissory Note”) (as defined below). On February 17, 2022, April 14, 2022 and May 18, 2022, the Company amended and restated the Convertible Promissory Note to increase the principal amount thereunder from $1,261,860 to $3,223,720. On August 17, 2022 the Company amended and restated the Convertible Promissory Note to increase the principal amount thereunder from $3,223,720 to $3,683,720, which included $100,000 advanced by the Sponsor to the Company on April 14, 2022 and the payment of $360,000 for the extension from August 17, 2022 to November 17, 2022. The Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company’s Business Combination is consummated and (ii) the liquidation of the Company on or before February 17, 2023 or such later liquidation date as may be approved by the Company’s stockholders. On August 15, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders in which a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from August 17, 2022 to February 17, 2023 was approved by stockholders. At the election of the Sponsor, up to $ 1,500,000 of the unpaid principal amount of the Note may be converted into warrants of the Company, each warrant exercisable for one share of common stock of the Company upon the consummation of its Business Combination, equal to: (x) the portion of the principal amount of the Note being converted, divided by (y) $ 1.00 , rounded up to the nearest whole number of warrants. As of September 30, 2022, there was a $ 3,683,720 balance outstanding under the Convertible Promissory Note. The Convertible Promissory Note was valued using the fair value method. The fair value of the note as of September 30, 2022, was $ 913,900 , which resulted in a change in fair value of the convertible promissory note of $ 1,113,700 and $ 2,119,960 which was recorded in the statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively (see Note 9).
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on November 12, 2020, the holders of the Founder Shares and Representative Shares (as defined in Notes 5 and 8, respectively), as well as the holders of the Private Warrants (and underlying securities) and any warrants issued in payment of Working Capital Loans made to Company (and underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares of common stock are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Representative Shares, Private Warrants and warrants issued in payment of working capital loans made to the Company (or underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, EarlyBirdCapital may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to consummation of a Business Combination; provided, however, that EarlyBirdCapital may participate in a “piggy-back” registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating 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.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 1,650,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On November 19, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,618,600 Units at $ 10.00 per Unit and forfeited the remaining over-allotment option.

NOTE 8. WARRANTS
The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. No warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company may redeem the Public Warrants (excluding the Private Warrants and any warrants underlying units issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans):
| ● | 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 to each warrant holder; and |
| ● | if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance), (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 a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of its common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of (i) Market Value or (ii) the price at which the Company issue the additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities.
The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Representative Shares
On August 5, 2020, the Company issued to EarlyBirdCapital 377,750 shares of common stock (the “Representative Shares”). On November 9, 2020, EarlyBirdCapital returned to the Company for cancellation, at no cost, an aggregate of 75,550 Representative Shares, resulting in an aggregate of 302,200 Representative Shares outstanding and held by EarlyBirdCapital. On November 12, 2020, the Company effected a stock dividend of 0.1 shares for each share of common stock outstanding, resulting in EarlyBirdCapital holding an aggregate of 332,420 Representative Shares. The Company accounted for the Representative Shares as an offering cost of the Initial Public Offering, with a corresponding credit to stockholders’ equity. The Company estimated the fair value of Representative Shares to be $ 2,666 based upon the price of the Founder Shares issued to the Sponsor. The holders of the Representative Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The Representative Shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA’s NASD Conduct Rules. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), these securities will not be sold during the Initial Public Offering, or sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the Initial Public Offering and their bona fide officers or partners, provided that all securities so transferred remain subject to the lockup restriction above for the remainder of the time period.
NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
| Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
| Description | Level | September, 2022 | December 31, 2021 |
| Assets: |
| Marketable securities held in Trust Account | 1 | $ | 44,203,481 | $ | 128,790,008 |
| Liabilities: |
| Warrant liabilities – Private Warrants | 3 | $ | 422,846 | $ | 2,641,204 |
| Convertible promissory note – related party | 3 | $ | 913,900 | $ | 958,400 |

Warrant Liabilities
The Private Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the condensed balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed statements of operations.
The Private Warrants were valued using a binomial lattice model. The Company allocated the proceeds received from (i) the sale of Units (which is inclusive of one share of common stock and one Public Warrant) and (ii) the sale of Private Warrants, first to the warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds allocated to common stock subject to possible redemption. The Private Warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs.
The following are the inputs used by the Company in establishing the fair value of its Private Warrants at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
| Input | September 30, 2022 | December 31, 2021 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.07 | % | 1.15 | % |
| Trading days per year | 252 | 252 |
| Expected volatility | 5.3 | % | 9.6 | % |
| Exercise price | $ | 11.50 | $ | 11.50 |
| Stock Price | $ | 10.35 | $ | 10.17 |

On December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, the Private Warrants were determined to be $ 0.50 per warrant and $ 0.08 per warrant, respectively, for an aggregate value of $ 2.64 million and $ 0.4 million, respectively.
The following table presents the changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities:
| Private Placement |
| Fair value as of December 31, 2021 | $ | 2,641,204 |
| Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions | ( 1,744,591 | ) |
| Fair value as of March 31, 2022 | $ | 896,613 |
| Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions | ( 579,785 | ) |
| Fair value as of June 30, 2022 | $ | 316,828 |
| Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions | 106,018 |
| Fair value as of September 30, 2022 | $ | 422,846 |

Convertible Promissory Note – Related Party
The fair value of the option to convert the convertible promissory note into Private Warrants was valued by utilizing a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology.
The estimated fair value of the convertible promissory note was based on the following significant inputs:
| September 30, 2022 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 0.00 | % |
| Time to Expiration (in years) | 1.38 |
| Expected volatility | 5.3 | % |
| Exercise price | $ | 11.50 |
| Dividend yield | 0.00 | % |

| Probability of transaction | 25.00 | % |

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of the Level 3 convertible promissory note:
| Fair value as of January 1, 2021 | $ | 958,400 |
| Proceeds received through Convertible Promissory Note | 1,261,860 |
| Change in fair value | ( 337,260 | ) |
| Fair value as of March 31, 2022 | $ | 1,883,000 |
| Proceeds received through Convertible Promissory Note | 700,000 |
| Change in fair value | ( 669,000 | ) |
| Fair value as of June 30, 2022 | $ | 1,914,000 |
| Conversion of Sponsor advance to Convertible Promissory Note | 100,000 |
| Proceeds received through Convertible Promissory Note | 360,000 |
| Change in fair value | ( 1,460,100 | ) |
| Fair value as of September 30, 2022 | 913,900 |

There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 for the convertible promissory note.

Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 5, 2020 for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (an “initial business combination”). We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a business combination will be successful.
21
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from August 5, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. 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 and transaction expenses.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $844,154 which consists of the change in fair value of convertible promissory note – related party of $1,113,700, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $254,709 and unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,078, offset by change in fair value of warrant liability of $106,018, a provision for income taxes of $23,249 and operational costs of $396,066.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On November 17, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,000,000 units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $110,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 4,800,000 Private Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. generating gross proceeds of $4,800,000.
On November 19, 2020, in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, we consummated the sale of an additional 1,618,600 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $16,186,000. In addition, we also consummated the sale of an additional 485,580 private placement warrants at $1.00 per private placement warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $485,580.
Following the initial public offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the private placement warrants, $111,100,000 was placed in the trust account on November 18, 2020 and $16,347,860 was placed in the Trust Account on November 20, 2020, respectively, for a total of $127,447,860. We incurred $2,880,354 in the initial public offering related costs, including $2,523,720 of underwriting fees and $356,634 of other costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $853,148.

Net income of $2,207,258 was affected by the change in fair value of warrant liability of $3,302,913, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $58,976, and an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $5,829. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $620,529 of cash for operating activities.
As of September 30, 2022, in the U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, we had cash held of $947 and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $44,202,534 (including approximately $145,311 of interest income) consisting of securities held in a money market fund that invests in U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of 180 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the trust account may be used by us to pay taxes. In connection with the extension on May 12, 2022, stockholders holding 5,586,910 shares of the Company’s redeemable common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account at a redemption price of approximately $10.30 per share. In connection with the extension on August 15, 2022, stockholders holding 2,818,237 shares of the Company’s redeemable common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds on the Trust Account at a redemption price of approximately $10.37 per share. Through September 30, 2022, we have withdrawn $358,711 of interest earned on the trust account to pay our taxes.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, to acquire a target business and to pay our expenses relating thereto upon consummation of our initial business combination for assisting us in connection with our initial business combination. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect an initial business combination, the remaining funds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the trust account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
As of September 30, 2022, we had cash of $83,760 held outside the trust account. We intend to use the funds held outside the trust account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the initial business combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, the insiders, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates 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 account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the private placement warrants. On November 9, 2021, we issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,261,860 to the Sponsor in connection with the Extension (“Convertible Promissory Note”) (as defined below). On February 17, 2022, April 14, 2022, May 18, 2022, and August 17, 2022, we amended and restated the Convertible Promissory Note to increase the principal amount thereunder from $1,261,860 to $3,683,720. The Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company’s Business Combination is consummated and (ii) the liquidation of the Company on or before February 17, 2023 or such later liquidation date as may be approved by the Company’s stockholders. At the election of the Sponsor, up to $1,500,000 of the unpaid principal amount of the Convertible Promissory Note may be converted into warrants of the Company, each warrant exercisable for one share of common stock of the Company upon the consummation of its Business Combination, equal to: (x) the portion of the principal amount of the Note being converted, divided by (y) $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number of warrants.
We expect that we will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from our sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. Our officers, directors and sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet our working capital needs. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until February 17, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date and an extension has not been requested by the Sponsor and approved by the Company’s stockholders, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and the mandatory liquidation and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after February 17, 2023. The Company intends to continue to search for and seek to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of the time of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
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.
23
Contractual Obligations
We have agreed, commencing on November 12, 2020 through the earlier of our consummation of an initial business combination and our liquidation, to pay an affiliate of our management a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial support. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred and accrued $30,000 and $90,000 in fees for these services, respectively, and those fees are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred and paid $30,000 and $90,000 in fees for these services.
We granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the initial public offering to purchase up to 1,650,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On November 19, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,618,600 units at $10.00 per unit and forfeited the remaining over-allotment option.
We have engaged EarlyBirdCapital as an advisor in connection with an initial business combination to assist us in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss the potential initial business combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce us to potential investors that are interested in purchasing our securities in connection with an initial business combination, assist us in obtaining stockholder approval for the initial business combination and assist us with our press releases and public filings in connection with the initial business combination. We will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of an initial business combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the initial public offering, or $4,416,510 (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable); provided that up to 30% of the fee may be allocated at our sole discretion to other FINRA members that assist us in identifying and consummating an initial business combination.
Additionally, we will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee equal to 1.0% of the total consideration payable in an initial business combination if EarlyBirdCapital introduces us to the target business with which we complete an initial business combination.
We have engaged various law firms to provide legal due diligence services and business combination services related to potential target companies. All fees and expenses related to the various engagements will be deferred and are to be paid fully upon the closing of any business combination. The law firms will not be entitled to any contingent fees or expense reimbursement if we do not consummate an initial business combination within our deadline. Deferred fees of $1,371,549 and $1,009,868 related to these legal services have been accrued as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for the Private Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D and 7F under which the Private Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Private Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Private Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations. The Private Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a binomial lattice simulation model.
24
Convertible Promissory Note
We account for our convertible promissory note under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Under 815-15-25, the election can be at the inception of a financial instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825. We have made such election for our convertible promissory note. Using fair value option, the convertible promissory note is required to be recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the note are recognized as non-cash change in the fair value of the convertible promissory note in the statements of operations. The fair value of the option to convert the convertible promissory note into private placement warrants was valued by utilizing a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of our condensed balance sheets.
Net Income per Common Share
Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from net income per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company assessed the potential impact of ASU 2020-06 and determined that it would not have a material impact on the condensed financial statements as presented.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.
Factors That May Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations
Our results of operation and our ability to complete an initial business combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, volatility in the financial markets or economic conditions, increase of oil price and interest rate, inflation, supply chain disruption, decline in consumer confidence and spending, the on-going effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully predict one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude of, or the extent to, which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial business combination.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective, due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to our accounting for complex financial instruments. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Management has identified a material weakness in our internal controls related to the accounting for complex financial instruments. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to continue to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that apply to our financial statements, including through enhanced analyses by 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.
Management has implemented remediation steps to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we expanded and improved our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
To the knowledge of our management team, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on November 17, 2020 , in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022 and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, filed with the SEC on May 13, 2022 and August 3, 2022, respectively. 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. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
A new 1% U.S. federal excise tax could be imposed on us in connection with redemptions of our shares in connection with a business combination or other stockholder vote pursuant to which stockholders would have a right to submit their shares for redemption (a “Redemption Event”).
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from whom shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. The IR Act applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.
Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Redemption Event may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Redemption Event would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Redemption Event, (ii) the structure of the business combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the business combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with the Redemption Event but issued within the same taxable year of the business combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by us, and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a business combination and in our ability to complete a business combination.
To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we expect to instruct the trustee to liquidate the securities held in our trust account and instead to hold the funds in our trust account in cash items until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or our liquidation. As a result, we will likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the trust account, which will likely reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.
The funds in our trust account have, since our initial public offering, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we expect to instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to our trust account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations and money market funds held in the trust account and to hold all funds in the trust account as cash items until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or the liquidation of the Company. Following such liquidation, we will likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the trust account. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the trust account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any. This will likely reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company. In the event that we may be deemed to be an investment company, we may be required to liquidate the Company.

Question: What's the estimated worth of the company Better World Acquisition Corp. at the end of Q4 in 2022 if the company continues to follow the same trend as it did in the first three quarters of 2022, in millions of dollars?

Python solution:
def solution():
      net_income_q1 = 1647395
      net_income_q2 = 915703
      net_income_q3 = 844154
      stockholders_deficit_start = -4650982
      # Do math calculation to get the answer
      avg_net_income_per_quarter = (net_income_q1 + net_income_q2 + net_income_q3) / 3
      net_income_q4 = avg_net_income_per_quarter
      estimated_worth_end_2022 = stockholders_deficit_start + net_income_q1 + net_income_q2 + net_income_q3 + net_income_q4
      answer = estimated_worth_end_2022 / 1e6  # converting to millions
      return answer
