**Item 8.01. Other Events.**

As previously disclosed, Bellevue Life Sciences Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") consummated its initial public offering ("IPO") of 6,000,000 units ("Units") on February 14, 2023. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), one redeemable warrant of the Company ("Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock for $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments, and one right of the Company ("Right"), with each Right entitling the holder thereof to one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Common Stock. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $60,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement of 430,000 Units to Bellevue Global Life Sciences Investors LLC, its sponsor, (the "Private Placement") for an aggregate purchase price of $4,300,000.

A total of $61,050,000 of the proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement were placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. An audited balance sheet dated as of February 14, 2023, reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Also as previously disclosed, on February 21, 2023, Chardan Capital Markets, LLC exercised its over-allotment option in full and purchased an additional 900,000 Units (the "Option Units") at a public offering price of $10.00 per Option Unit, generating additional gross proceeds to the Company of $9,000,000. A total of $70,207,500 of the proceeds from the IPO (including the proceeds from the sale of the Option Units) and the Private Placement were placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.

#### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of

Bellevue Life Sciences Acquisition Corp.

#### Opinion on the Financial Statement

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Bellevue Life Sciences Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") as of February 14, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 14, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Going Concern
The accompanying financial statement has been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statement, if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and complete a business combination by November 14, 2023, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

#### Basis for Opinion

This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2020.

#### BELLEVUE LIFE SCIENCES ACQUISITION CORP.

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT

#### AS OF FEBRUARY 14, 2023

#### NOTE 1-DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Bellevue Life Sciences Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on February 25, 2020. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the "Business Combination"). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

As of February 14, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity since inception relates to the Company's formation and the initial public offering ("Initial Public Offering") which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company's Initial Public Offering (the "Registration Statement") was declared effective on February 9, 2023. On February 14, 2023, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 6,000,000 units, ("Units" and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units being offered, the "Public Shares"), generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement (the "Private Placement") of 430,000 Units (the " Private Placement Units"), to the Bellevue Global Life Sciences Investors LLC (the "Sponsor") at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,300,000. Each Unit and Private Placement Unit consists of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 (the "Common Stock"), a warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (the "Public Warrants" and "Private Placement Warrants" and collectively the "Warrants") and one right which entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock (the "Public Rights" and Private Placement Rights" and collectively the "Rights"), as described in Notes 3 and 4.

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 Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting fees and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post- transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, approximately $61.6 million ($10.175 per Unit) of net proceeds, including the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement, was placed in a trust account ("Trust Account") located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in United States "government securities" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act") having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

------

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding shares of its Common Stock ("Public Shares") sold in the Initial Public Offering (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 (as described in Note 1) for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.175 per Public Share plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity" ("ASC 480"). In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and 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 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 other legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Initial Stockholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company will adopt an insider trading policy which will require insiders to: (i) refrain from purchasing shares during certain blackout periods and when they are in possession of any material non-public information and (ii) to clear all trades with the Company's legal counsel prior to execution. In addition, the Company's Sponsor and any other holders of the Company's common stock prior to the Initial Public Offering (or their permitted transferees (the "Initial Stockholders") have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Placement Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of more of the shares of Common Stock (as defined in Note 1) sold in the Initial Public Offering.

The Company's Initial Stockholders and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC ("Chardan"), the representative of the underwriters, have agreed not to propose or vote in favor of an amendment to the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as to be in effect prior to the closing of the offering, the "Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation") (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 9 months or such other time period as our stockholders may approve from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the "Combination Period") or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public shares in conjunction with such an amendment.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, 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 and as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company's obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

------

The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares (defined in Note 4) and Placement Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) may be less than approximately $10.175 per share initially held in the Trust Account. 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 partner business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, Company's indemnity of the underwriters of the 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 Sponsor 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 Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company's independent registered public accounting firm), prospective partner 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.

#### Basis of Presentation and Going Concern Consideration

The accompanying financial statement is presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

**Liquidity and Going Concern**

As of February 14, 2023, the Company had $110,848 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $64,551. The Company's liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering had been satisfied through proceeds from advances from related party and from the issuance of common stock. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company's liquidity was satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the proceeds from the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering of Units on February 14, 2023, an amount of $244,797 was transferred from the Trust Account to the operating account by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to be held outside of the Trust Account and to be used for the Company's working capital purposes.

Additionally, $337,500 of the proceeds from the Private Placement will be kept with the trustee in escrow until the Underwriters exercise their 45-day option under the Underwriting Agreement to purchase additional Units to cover over-allotments; provided that if the Underwriters do not exercise such option to purchase additional Units within the 45-day period following the date of the final prospectus relating to the initial public offering of the Units, the $337,500 shall be wired by the Trustee to the Company for working capital purposes. <br>

Based on the foregoing and the limited amount of working capital that the Company received into the operating account from the Private Placement, management believes that the Company will not have sufficient working capital to meet its working capital needs through the earlier of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or nine months from the Initial Public Offering. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Over this time period, the Company will be using the remaining funds held outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the initial Business Combination. Further needs for operating capital beyond the Company's current operating cash balance may need to be funded through loans from the Company's Sponsor. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

------

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by November 14, 2023 (subject to extension by majority approval by the Company's stockholders voting), the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. This date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution combined with uncertainty as to whether the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund operations through the liquidation date or thereafter should a deferral occur raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to evaluate potential Business Combination opportunities and intends to complete a business combination.

#### 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 auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth 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 an 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 standards at the time the private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make the comparison of the Company's financial statement with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

#### NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### <br>

#### Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statement and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effects of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statement, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

#### Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $110,848 in cash held in its operating account as of February 14, 2023. The Company had no cash equivalents as of February 14, 2023.

#### Cash Held in Trust Account

At February 14, 2023, the Company had $61,632,297 in cash held in the Trust Account, which includes $244,797 of additional cash from a portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement that was transferred to the operating account following the closing of the Initial Public Offering of Units and $337,500 of the proceeds from the Private Placement that will be kept with the trustee in escrow to cover the over-allotment option.

#### Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

------

#### Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. As of February 14, 2023, the Company recorded a liability of $166,819 in connection with the over-allotment option for such financial instruments (see Note 7) while the warrant instruments were classified as equity.

#### Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. As of February 14, 2023, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

#### Warrant Instruments

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments' specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the instruments are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company's own common shares and whether the instrument holders could potentially require "net cash settlement" in a circumstance outside of the Company's control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the instruments are outstanding. The Company determined that upon review of the warrant agreement, management concluded that the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 1) and the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 1) issued in the Initial Public Offering qualify for equity accounting treatment.

#### Rights

In connection with the Initial Public Offering of up to 6,900,000 Public Units, each Public Unit is comprised of one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value, a warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock, and one Public Right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Common Stock. Simultaneously, with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company engaged in a private placement and issued placement units that are identical to the Public Unit, which included the issuance and delivery of aggregate of 430,000 Placement Rights underlying Placement Units (the "Placement Rights", and together with the Public Rights and such other rights as the Company issues from time to time hereunder, the "Rights").

The Company accounts for the rights issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that the rights described above are not precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity.

#### Equity Participation Shares
The Company agreed to issue to the underwriter at the closing of the Initial Public Offering 34,500 representative shares ("Equity Participation Shares"), including over-allotment, which will be issued upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination.

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A - Expenses of Offering. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately.

------

#### Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to difference between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets were deemed to be de minimis as of February 14, 2023.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of February 14, 2023. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment interest and penalties for the period from December 31, 2022 through February 14, 2023. 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 is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The Company's management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

#### Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1, SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5A – "Expenses of Offering", and SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5T – "Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s)". Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction of equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $4,341,126 as a result of the Initial Public Offering (consisting of $1,200,000 of underwriting fees, $1,800,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and $1,341,126 of other offering costs). The Company recognized $166,819 offering costs, which was charged to stockholders' deficit, in connection with the over-allotment option that was classified as a liability.

#### 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 feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company's control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders' equity. The Company's common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company's control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity section of the Company's balance sheet. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

#### Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's financial statement.

#### NOTE 3-INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 6,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, one redeemable warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, and one right which entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock (see Note 7). Each warrant will become exercisable 30 days after the consummation of an initial business combination, and will expire five years after the completion of an initial business combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination, as described in more detail below. Each ten rights entitle the holder thereof to receive one share of common stock at the closing of a business combination.

#### NOTE 4-RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

#### <br>

#### Founder Shares

On July 30, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 1,437,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Founder Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.017 per share. On April 25, 2022, the Company executed a 1.2-for-one stock split, resulting in an aggregate of 1,725,000 founder shares held by the Company's sponsor, of which up to 225,000 Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Founder Shares (including the Equity Participation Shares) will represent 20.0% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock after the Initial Public Offering (excluding shares of Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Units).

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) three years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale 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-day trading period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

#### Private Placement Units

The Sponsor has purchased an aggregate of 430,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Common Stock, one redeemable warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock, and one right which entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock. The Private Placement Warrants are exercisable only to purchase whole shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7). Proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account will be included in the liquidating distribution to the holders of the Public Shares.

The Sponsor and the Company's officers and directors will agree, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Units, including the component securities therein until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination.

#### Promissory Notes

The Sponsor has advanced funds to the Company for the payment of expenses incurred in connection with the Initial Public Offering, which amount is evidenced by non-interest bearing promissory notes in the principal amount of $1,200,000. The promissory notes were due at the earlier of November 29, 2023 or upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the promissory notes were be deemed to be repaid and settled in connection with the private placement. This facility is no longer available to the Company.

#### Working Capital Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company's officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required ("Working Capital Loans"). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the Trust Account released to the Company. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender's discretion, up to $1,000,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. The Units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Loans made by Chardan or any of its related persons, if any, will not be convertible into any of the Company's securities and Chardan and its related persons will have no recourse with respect to their ability to convert their loans into any of the Company's securities. As of February 14, 2023, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

------

#### Administrative Support Agreement

Commencing on the date the Company's securities were first listed on Nasdaq, the Company agreed to pay an affiliate of members of the Sponsor a total of $7,500 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Business Combination or the Company's liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.

#### Due to Affiliate

On April 28, 2022, the Sponsor agreed to advance the Company up to $10,000. On April 29, 2022, the Sponsor agreed to advance an additional $7,000. These advances are due on demand and are non-interest bearing. As of February 14, 2023, $17,000 was outstanding.

#### NOTE 5-COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

#### <br>

#### Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (including component securities contained therein), and Units (including component securities contained therein) that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed prior to the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, these holders have certain "piggyback" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Chardan may not exercise its demand and "piggyback" registration rights after five and seven years, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion.

#### Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 900,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $1,200,000 in the aggregate, equal to 2% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (or $1,380,000 in the aggregate if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), payable upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided that for each Unit purchased by investors that are sourced by our sponsor, such underwriting discount was reduced to $0.125 per Unit payable in cash. In addition, $0.30 per Unit, or approximately $1,800,000 in the aggregate (or $2,070,000 in the aggregate if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amount held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to receive 30,000 shares of Common Stock (or 34,500 shares if the underwriters' over- allotment option is exercised in full) from the Sponsor, which will be placed in escrow until the consummation of an initial Business Combination. Such shares paid to the underwriters are referred to as the "Equity Participation Shares." If a Business Combination is not consummated, the Equity Participation Shares will be returned to the Sponsor. The Equity Participation 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 FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statements related to the Initial Public Offering, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statements related to the Initial Public Offering except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the Initial Public Offering and their bona fide officers or partners. Chardan may not exercise its demand and "piggyback" registration rights after five and seven years, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion.

#### Risks and Uncertainties

Management is continuing to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company's financial position, results of its operations and/or the search for a partner company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of this financial statement. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

------

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of this financial statement and the specific impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of this financial statement.

#### NOTE 6 – COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE REDEMPTION
The Company's common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company's control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity section of the Company's balance sheet.

The following is a reconciliation of the Company's common stock subject to possible redemption as of February 14, 2023:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Common<br> Stock<br> Subject to<br> Possible<br> Redemption** |
| Gross proceeds from Initial Public Offering | $60000000 |
| Less: Proceeds allocated to public warrants and rights | (1075241) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Offering costs allocated to common stock subject to possible redemption | (4341126) |
| Plus: Accretion on common stock subject to possible redemption | 6466367 |
| Balance, February 14, 2023 | $61050000 |

#### NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY (DEFICIT)

#### <br>

#### Preferred Stock

#### <br>
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of February 14, 2023, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

#### Common Stock

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation the Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value.

As of February 14, 2023, there were 8,155,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding excluding 6,000,000 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption that are reflected in temporary equity in the balance sheet, of which an aggregate of up to 225,000 shares are subject to forfeiture to the Company by the Sponsor for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Initial Stockholders will collectively own 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering.

Common stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

#### Warrants

As of February 14, 2022, there were 6,430,000 Warrants outstanding. The Warrants that are a part of the Units (the "Warrants") may be exercised at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in this prospectus. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination.

The Warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.50.

Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the Warrants for redemption:

<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in whole and not in part;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at a price of $0.01 per Warrant;

<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice of redemption given after the Warrants become exercisable;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing once the Warrants become exercisable and ending three business days before the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrantholders (the "Reference Value"), and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying such Warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of Common Stock at a price below their respective exercise prices. 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 shares of Common Stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial business combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.50 per share of Common Stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by our board of directors), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial business combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the Market Value is below $9.50 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the Market Value, and the $16.50 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 165% of the Market Value.

#### Equity Participation Shares
The Company agreed to issue to the underwriter at the closing of the Initial Public Offering up to 34,500 Equity Participation Shares, including over-allotment, which will be issued upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination. If the over-allotment option is not exercised in full, the Equity Participation Shares will be reduced pro rata.

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A - Expenses of Offering. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company estimated that the fair value of the Equity Participation Shares was $166,290 (or $4.82 per share). The value of the Equity Participation Shares was based on the fair value of a share of common stock and adjusted to reflect the probability of closing an Initial Business Combination at 6.3% based on a representative sample of SPAC IPOs between 3 and 19 months to the valuation date.

#### Over-Allotment Option
The underwriter has the right to purchase up to 900,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments. ASC 480-25-8 requires an entity to classify as a liability any financial instrument, other than an outstanding share, that, at inception, both embodies an obligation to repurchase the issuer's equity shares or is indexed to such an obligation and requires or may require the issuer to settle the obligation by transferring assets. The Unit could not qualify for equity classification if it were a separate Unit of account. In turn, the over-allotment option, which can only be exercised for a Unit during a 45-day period, would not qualify for equity classification under the same premise. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for the underwriters' over-allotment option as a liability as of the Initial Public Offering date of February 14, 2023 (based on the fair value of the option), which reverses upon the underwriter's exercise of its over-allotment option to purchase such additional Units. The Company estimated that the fair value of the over-allotment option was $166,819 (or $0.185 per unit) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the over-allotment unit was estimated as of the reporting period, or February 14, 2023, using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 11.1%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 4.67%, (3) expected life of 0.12 years and (4) zero dividends.

------

#### Rights

Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a business combination, each holder of a right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock upon consummation of its initial business combination, even if the holder of a public right converted all shares of common stock held by him, her or it in connection with the initial business combination or an amendment to the Company's certificate of incorporation with respect to its pre-business combination activities. In the event the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of its initial business combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of a share underlying each right upon consummation of the business combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive his, her or its additional shares of common stock upon consummation of an initial business combination. The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company). If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a business combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the common stock will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into common stock basis.

#### NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date the financial statement was issued. The Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statement, other than the following:

• On February 21, 2023, Chardan Capital Markets, LLC exercised its over-allotment option in full and purchased an additional 900,000 Units at the public offering price of $10.00 per Option Unit, generating additional gross proceeds to the Company of $9,000,000.

<br>
