EXPLANATORY NOTE

Viveon Health Acquisition Corp. (the “Company,” “we”, “our” or “us”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on August 24, 2023 (the “Original 10-K”), to (1) restate its financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and  its  condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended (a) March 31, 2022 filed on Form 10-Q with the SEC on June 13, 2022, as amended on Form 10-Q/A filed with the SEC on September 8, 2022 (the “March 10-Q), (b) June 30, 2022, filed on Form 10-Q with the SEC on August 19, 2022, as amended on Form 10-Q/A filed with the SEC on September 8, 2022 and (c) September 30, 2022, filed on Form 10-Q with the SEC on November 21, 2022 (collectively and together with the Original 10-K, the “Original Financial Statements”) which should no longer be relied upon are being restated herein and to (2) describe the restatement and its impact on previously reported amounts. 

In connection with the preparation of the March 10-Q, management identified that the total legal fees owed to the Company’s primary law firm were incorrect as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. This inaccurate information resulted in an overstatement of $250,000 in accrued costs and expenses in the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit, and the consolidated statements of cash flows as of December 31, 2022, and an overstatement of $250,000 in Professional fees and Net (loss) income in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Management concluded that the error above is consistent with the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting relating to the process of recording accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tax liabilities that existed as of December 31, 2022.

In light of this material weakness, on November 16, 2023 the Company’s management and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, concluded that the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 should no longer be relied upon and that it is appropriate to restate the Company’s financial statements for such period.

On October 5, 2023, a legal complaint was filed in Connecticut Superior Court against the Company and Suneva Medical, Inc. (“Suneva”) by ICR, LLC (“the Consultant”).  The Complaint alleges that the Company and Suneva owe the Consultant unpaid fees under an October 25, 2021 consulting agreement and asserts claims for breach of contract, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, and quantum meruit. As of the date of this filing, this action is not pending and has not been officially docketed with the Connecticut Superior Court.  The Company is continuing to assess the merits of the complaint but believes that the claims by the Consultant against the Company are without merit and the Company intends to defend the action if it is properly initiated.

In addition to the above overstatement of legal fees, management determined that there was an understatement of accrued fees relating to the agreement with the Consultant that is the subject of the above-mentioned dispute. On October 25, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with the Consultant for investor relations and public relations services in connection with a Business Combination with Suneva. The Consulting Agreement specifically identified Suneva as the target of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the agreement, the Consultant would be paid a fee of $15,000 per month from the date of the agreement until the Business Combination with Suneva, with an additional $15,000 accruing each month until the Business Combination date. The agreement also provided for payment to the Consultant of additional fees tied to success, performance, and ongoing consulting fees for services to the combined entity upon consummation of the Suneva Business Combination. The Consultant stopped providing services in February 2023.

In its Original Financial Statements, the Company did not appropriately accrue for the fees under the agreement in its condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022, which were filed with the SEC on June 13, 2022 (Amended September 8, 2022), August 19, 2022 (Amended September 8, 2022), and November 21, 2022, respectively. The Company did not appropriately accrue for the fees under the agreement in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 which was filed with the SEC on August 24, 2022. This resulted in an understatement in Accrued costs and expenses in the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit, and consolidated statements of cash flows as of December 31, 2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and an understatement of Professional fees and Net (loss) income in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, three months ended March 31, 2022, three and six months ended June 30, 2022, three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

Management concluded that the understatement error relating to the agreement with the Consultant above is consistent with the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting relating to the process of recording accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tax liabilities that existed as of December 31, 2022. Additionally, management determined that a new material weakness existed as of December 31, 2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2022 related to properly evaluating and disclosing contractual arrangements and differentiating them as contractual liabilities or accounting contingencies.

In light of this material weakness, on December 29, 2023 the Company’s management and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, concluded that the Company’s Original Financial Statements as of December 31, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as of June 30, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 should no longer be relied upon and that it is appropriate to restate the Company’s financial statements for such periods.

We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to amend and restate the Original Financial Statements with modification as necessary to reflect the restatements. The following items have been amended to reflect the restatements:

Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors

Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Part IV, Item 15. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have provided new certifications dated as of the date of this filing in connection with this Form 10-K/A (Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2).

Except as described above, no other information included in the Original Financial Statements is being amended or updated by this Amendment No. 1 and, other than as described herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not purport to reflect any information or events subsequent to the Original Financial Statements. This Amendment No 1 continues to describe the conditions as of the date of the Original Financial Statements and, except as expressly contained herein, we have not updated, modified or supplemented the disclosures contained in the Original Financial Statements. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Financial Statements and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the Financial Statements.

Delinquent SEC Filings

As previously reported in a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing filed the Company on May 16, 2022, the Company was delayed in filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-Q”) because the financial statements could not be completed in sufficient time to solicit and obtain the necessary review of the Form 10-Q in a timely fashion prior to the due date of the report.

As of May 23, 2022 the Company remained unable to file the Form 10-Q. As a result, on May 24, 2022, in accordance with standard procedures related to the delayed filing of the Form 10-Q with the SEC, the Company received a late filer notification from the New York Stock Exchange stating that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria established in the NYSE American Company Guide. Under Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide, the Company could be granted up to 12 months to cure the late filer deficiency. The initial six month period to regain compliance is automatic and the additional six months is only granted upon request by the Company and approval by the NYSE. The NYSE notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the NYSE American. On June 13, 2022, the Company filed its 10-Q and fully regained compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing requirements.

On April 18, 2023, the Company received a notice letter (the “Notice”) from the NYSE Regulation Department (the “Staff”) notifying the Company that, based upon the Company’s failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”) by the filing due date, April 17, 2023 (the “Filing Delinquency”), it was not in compliance with the New York Stock Exchange American’s continued listing requirements. The Company is now subject to the procedures and requirements set forth in Section 1007 of the New York Stock Exchange American (“NYSE American” or the “Exchange”) Company Guide (the “Company Guide”).

As indicated in the Notice, during the six-month period from the date of the Filing Delinquency (the “Initial Cure Period”), the Exchange will monitor the Company and the status of the Delinquent Report and any subsequent delayed filings, including through contact with the Company, until the Filing Delinquency is cured. If the Company fails to cure the Filing Delinquency within the Initial Cure Period, the Exchange may, in the Exchange’s sole discretion, allow the Company’s securities to be traded for up to an additional six-month period (the “Additional Cure Period”) depending on the Company’s specific circumstances. If the Exchange determines that an Additional Cure Period is not appropriate, suspension and delisting procedures will commence in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 1010 of the Company Guide. If the Exchange determines that an Additional Cure Period of up to six months is appropriate and the Company fails to file its delinquent report and any subsequent delayed filings by the end of that period, suspension and delisting procedures will generally commence.

The NYSE American may in its sole discretion decide (i) not to afford an issuer any Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, as the case may be, at all or (ii) at any time during the Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, to truncate the Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, as the case may be, and immediately commence suspension and delisting procedures if the issuer is subject to delisting pursuant to any other provision of the Company Guide, including if the Exchange believes, in the Exchange’s sole discretion, that continued listing and trading of an issuer’s securities on the Exchange is inadvisable or unwarranted in accordance with Sections 1001-1006 of the Company Guide.

During the Initial Cure Period and the Additional Cure Period, if applicable, the Company’s securities will continue to trade on the Exchange, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements, with a late filer (“.LF”) indicator. The .LF indicator will be removed when the Company has regained compliance with all applicable continued listing standards.

As previously reported by the Company in its Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on each of March 31, 2023, May 15, 2023 and August 14, 2023, the Company required additional time to finalize its financial statements.

General

 

We are a Delaware blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities, which we refer to throughout this annual reportAnnual Report as our initial business combination. Although we are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating an initial business combination, we intend to focus on businesses that have their primary operations located in North America in the healthcare industry, and specifically in the medical technology and medical device sectors. As disclosed in our prospectus, although our management has significant experience in the orthopedic and spine marketplace, they also have extensive operating and transaction experiences in the medical technology sector as managers, investors, acquirors, and sellers and will use that experience to consider target companies in emerging growth medical technology and medical device companies that may be focused in areas outside of orthopedics and spine.

12

 


Consistent with our strategy, we have identified the following criteria to evaluate prospective target businesses. Although we may decide to enter into our initial business combination with a target business that does not meet the criteria described below, it is our intention to acquire companies that we believe:

 

have a clinical or other competitive advantage in the markets in which they operate and which can benefit from access to additional capital as well as our industry relationships and expertise;

will likely be well received by public investors and experience substantial increase in valuation as a result of a public listing and access to the public markets;

are ready to be public, with strong management, corporate governance and reporting policies in place;

have significant embedded and/or underexploited growth opportunities that will drive value;

growing at or above industry market rates;

will offer attractive risk-adjusted equity returns for our stockholders.

We may use other criteria as well. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination may be based on these general criteria as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that our management may deem relevant.

 

We believe that emerging growth medical technology companies will realize a material benefit from being publicly-traded, including greater access to capital to support innovation and sales channel expansion, having available liquid securities which can be utilized for acquisitions, and increased market and customer awareness.

 

Many of these companies that are highly innovative and are experiencing high growth have few options to reach their full potential. While a traditional IPO could, in theory, provide a meaningful avenue for these companies to access capital and accelerate their growth, the relatively high risk and expense associated with a traditional initial public offering and the negative consequences of an unsuccessful public offering represent meaningful barriers to many companies in our target sector to pursuing a traditional IPO. Accordingly, we believe that the increased visibility and acceptance of going-public mergers with special purpose acquisition companies like us may enhance our ability to consummate an initial business combination.

 

We believe an acquisition by a special purpose acquisition company, like ours, can provide an efficient liquidity and capital-raising mechanism while materially reducing the risks and expenses associated with a traditional IPO. Furthermore, we believe our management team is well-known to, and respected by, the founders, management, and shareholders of private medical technology companies and that our leadership’s reputation will be a competitive advantage in attracting high quality targets for our business combination. Our management team and board of directors have an extensive operating and transaction experiences in the medical technology sector as manager, investors, acquirors, and sellers. We intend to leverage this experience and network to identify a target company and to deliver operational and economic benefit from a business combination.

Shares of the Earnout Consideration that are not earned by a holder of Suneva Stock options on or before the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date will be forfeited without any consideration. Shares forfeited by a holder of Suneva stock options will be reallocated to the other Suneva security holders who remain entitled to receive shares of Earnout Consideration in accordance with their respective pro rata shares

Acquisition Strategy

 

We believe our management team is well positioned to identify unique opportunities within the healthcare industry, and more specifically in the medical technology and medical device industry. Our selection process will leverage our relationships within the industry particularly with leading venture capitalists and growth equity funds, executives of private and public companies, as well as leading investment banking firms, which we believe should provide us with a key competitive advantage in sourcing potential business combination targets. Furthermore, members of our board of directors will augment the selection process through their robust relationships. Given our profile and dedicated industry approach, we anticipate that target business candidates may be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, and in particular investors in other private and public companies in our networks.

 

Our strategy is to utilize the experience and relationships of our management and board to identify target businesses that are exhibiting rapid growth, technology and service innovation, and positive income that would benefit from the opportunity for substantial revenue and profit expansion.

15

 

We believe that target companies under this indicative will experience a substantial increase in value as a result of a public listing which brings access to the public markets to capitalize innovation, achieve added public visibility that can help expand sales channels, and provide flexibility to support additional substantial acquisitions in the highly fragmented medical technology and medical device market.

 

We believe an acquisition by a special purpose acquisition company, like us, can provide an efficient liquidity and capital-raising mechanism while materially reducing the risks and expenses associated with a traditional IPO. Furthermore, we believe our management team is well-known to, and respected by, the founders, management, and shareholders of private medical technology companies and that our leadership’s reputations will be a competitive advantage in attracting high quality targets for our business combination. Our management team and board of directors have extensive operating and transaction experiences in the medical technology sector as manager, investors, acquirors, and sellers. We intend to leverage this experience and network to identify a target company and to deliver operational and economic benefit from a business combination.

 

Investment Criteria

 

Consistent with our strategy, we have identified the following criteria to evaluate prospective target businesses. Although we may decide to enter into our initial business combination with a target business that does not meet the criteria described below, it is our intention to acquire companies that we believe:

 

have a clinical or other competitive advantage in the markets in which they operate and which can benefit from access to additional capital as well as our industry relationships and expertise;

will likely be well received by public investors and experience substantial increase in valuation as a result of a public listing and access to the public markets;

are ready to be public, with strong management, corporate governance and reporting policies in place;

will be able to take full advantage of the use of public securities as a means to engage in further substantial acquisitions in the highly fragmented medical technology and device industry;;

have significant embedded and/or underexploited growth opportunities that will drive value;

growing at or above industry market rates; and

will offer attractive risk-adjusted equity returns for our stockholders.

 

We may use other criteria as well. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination may be based on these general criteria as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that our management may deem relevant.

 


Industry Opportunity

 

We believe the healthcare industry, particularly the life sciences and medical technology sectors, represents an enormous and growing target market with a large number of potential target acquisition opportunities. In 2018, total U.S. national health expenditures exceeded $3.6 trillion, and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimated that total healthcare spending accounted for approximately 18% of total U.S. Gross Domestic Product.

 

While most of the companies in our target sector of medical technology companies are domiciled in the United States, many have also begun to expand their commercial footprint globally, which delivers an opportunity to further extend their commercial reach. The regional distribution of the global market is primarily divided into North America (44%), Asia/Pacific (23%), Western Europe (22%), and all other areas (11%), according to 2020 analysis by MarketResearch.com. Of these segments, the Asia/Pacific market is expected to grow most rapidly at more than 6% CAGR. The enhanced growth rate in the Asia/Pacific segment is attributed to the increase in healthcare facilities primarily in emerging markets as well as expansion by local medical technology companies serving the region that also have expansion plans to enter the North American and Western European markets. These regionally based medical technology companies will serve as targets for our business combination.

Effecting a Business Combination

 

General

 

We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any operations for an indefinite period of time. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the private placement of the private warrants, our shares, new debt, or a combination of these, as the consideration to be paid in our initial business combination. We may seek to consummate our initial business combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth (such as a company that has begun operations but is not yet at the stage of commercial manufacturing and sales), which would subject us to the numerous risks inherent in such companies and businesses, although we will not be permitted to effectuate our initial business combination with another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.

 

If our initial business combination is paid for using shares or debt securities, or not all of the funds released from the trust accountTrust Account are used for payment of the purchase price in connection with our business combination or used for redemptions of purchases of our Common Stock, we may apply the cash released to us from the trust accountTrust Account that is not applied to the purchase price for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of acquired businesses, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in consummating our initial business combination, to fund the purchase of other companies or for working capital.

 

Since the consummation of the IPO, we have focused on identifying, doing due diligence on and speaking to management of potential target companies in a variety of markets within the medical technology sector of the healthcare industry in the United States and other developed countries. Subject to the requirement that our initial business combination must be with one or more target businesses or assets having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the trust accountTrust Account (excluding any taxes payable) at the time of the agreement to enter into such initial business combination, we have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting one or more prospective target businesses.

 

We may seek to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination, and we may effectuate our initial business combination using the proceeds of such offering rather than using the amounts held in the trust account.Trust Account. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would consummate such financing only simultaneously with the consummation of our business combination. In the case of an initial business combination funded with assets other than the trust accountTrust Account assets, our tender offer documents or proxy materials disclosing the business combination would disclose the terms of the financing and, only if required by law or the NYSE American stock exchange, we would seek stockholder approval of such financing. There are no prohibitions on our ability to raise funds privately or through loans in connection with our initial business combination.

 


Sources of Target Businesses

 

Our process of identifying acquisition targets leverages our management team’s unique industry experiences, proven deal sourcing capabilities and broad and deep network of relationships in numerous industries, including executives and management teams, private equity groups and other institutional investors, large business enterprises, lenders, investment bankers and other investment market participants, restructuring advisers, consultants, attorneys and accountants, which we believe should provide us with a number of business combination opportunities. We expect that the collective experience, capability and network of our founders, directors and officers, combined with their individual and collective reputations in the investment community, will help to create prospective business combination opportunities.

 

We anticipate that target business candidates will be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers, venture capital funds, private equity groups, leveraged buyout funds, management buyout funds and other members of the financial community. Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited by us through calls or mailings. These sources also may introduce us to target businesses in which they think we may be interested on an unsolicited basis, since many of these sources will have read this annual reportAnnual Report and know what types of businesses we are targeting. Our officers and directors, as well as their affiliates, also may bring to our attention target business candidates that they become aware of through their business contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they may have, as well as attending trade shows or conventions.

17

 

In addition, we expect to receive a number of proprietary deal flow opportunities that would not otherwise necessarily be available to us as a result of the business relationships of our officers and directors. While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms or other individuals that specialize in business acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage these firms or other individuals in the future, in which event we may pay a finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation to be determined in an arm’s length negotiation based on the terms of the transaction. We will engage a finder only to the extent our management determines that the use of a finder may bring opportunities to us that may not otherwise be available to us or if finders approach us on an unsolicited basis with a potential transaction that our management determines is in our best interest to pursue. Payment of finder’s fees is customarily tied to completion of a transaction, in which case any such fee will be paid out of the funds held in the trust account.Trust Account. Although some of our officers and directors may enter into employment or consulting agreements with the acquired business following our initial business combination, the presence or absence of any such arrangements will not be used as a criterion in our selection process of an acquisition candidate.

 

We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with such a company, we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain (i) an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions on the type of target business we seek to acquire that such an initial business combination is fair to our unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view and (ii) the approval of a majority of our disinterested and of our independent directors.

 

Selection of a Target Business and Structuring of a Business Combination

 

Subject to the requirement that our initial business combination must be with one or more target businesses or assets having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the trust accountTrust Account (excluding any taxes payable) at the time of the agreement to enter into such initial business combination, our management will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting one or more prospective target businesses. In any case, we will only consummate an initial business combination in which we become the majority shareholder of the target (or control the target through contractual arrangements in limited circumstances for regulatory compliance purposes as discussed below) or are otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act or to the extent permitted by law we may acquire interests in a variable interest entity, in which we may have less than a majority of the voting rights in such entity, but in which we are the primary beneficiary. There is no basis for our stockholders to evaluate the possible merits or risks of any target business with which we may ultimately complete our initial business combination. To the extent we effect our initial business combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth (such as a company that has begun operations but is not yet at the stage of commercial manufacturing and sales), we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in such company or business. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we may not properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.

 


In evaluating a prospective target business, we expect to conduct a thorough due diligence review that will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities, as well as a review of financial and other information which will be made available to us.

 

The time required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete our initial business combination, and the costs associated with this process, are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which a business combination is not ultimately completed will result in our incurring losses and will reduce the funds we can use to complete another business combination. We will not pay any finders or consulting fees to members of our management team, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered to or in connection with our initial business combination.

 

18

Fair Market Value of Target Business or Businesses

 

The target business or businesses or assets with which we effect our initial business combination must have a collective fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the trust accountTrust Account (excluding any taxes payable) at the time of the agreement to enter into such initial business combination. If we acquire less than 100% of one or more target businesses in our initial business combination, the aggregate fair market value of the portion or portions we acquire must equal at least 80% of the value of the trust accountTrust Account (excluding taxes payable) at the time of the agreement to enter into such initial business combination. However, we will always acquire at least a controlling interest in a target business. The fair market value of a portion of a target business or assets will likely be calculated by multiplying the fair market value of the entire business by the percentage of the target we acquire. We may seek to consummate our initial business combination with an initial target business or businesses with a collective fair market value in excess of the balance in the trust account.Trust Account. In order to consummate such an initial business combination, we may issue a significant amount of debt, equity or other securities to the sellers of such business and/or seek to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt, equity or other securities. If we issue securities in order to consummate such an initial business combination, our stockholders could end up owning a minority of the combined company’s voting securities as there is no requirement that our stockholders own a certain percentage of our company (or, depending on the structure of the initial business combination, an ultimate parent company that may be formed) after our business combination. Because we have no specific business combination under consideration, we have not entered into any such arrangement to issue our debt or equity securities and have no current intention of doing so.

 

The fair market value of a target business or businesses or assets will be determined by our board of directors based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as actual and potential gross margins, the values of comparable businesses, earnings and cash flow, book value, enterprise value and, where appropriate, upon the advice of appraisers or other professional consultants. Investors will be relying on the business judgment of our board of directors, which will have significant discretion in choosing the standard used to establish the fair market value of a particular target business. If our board of directors is not able to independently determine that the target business or assets has a sufficient fair market value to meet the threshold criterion, we will obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated, independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions on the type of target business we seek to acquire with respect to the satisfaction of such criterion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless we consummate a business combination with an affiliated entity, we are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions on the type of target business we seek to acquire, that the price we are paying is fair to our stockholders.

 

Competition

 

In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business for our initial business combination, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including other blank check companies, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, and operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have significant experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Furthermore, the requirement that we acquire a target business or businesses having a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the trust accountTrust Account (excluding any taxes payable) at the time of the agreement to enter into the business combination, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our public stockholders who exercise their redemption rights and the number of our outstanding warrants and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Any of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating our initial business combination.

 


Management Operating and Investment Experience

 

We believe that our executive officers possess the experience, skills and contacts necessary to source, evaluate, and execute an attractive business combination. See the section titled “Management”Management for complete information on the experience of our officers and directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our officers and directors are not required to commit their full time to our affairs and will allocate their time to other businesses. We presently expect each of our employees to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business (which could range from only a few hours a week while we are trying to locate a potential target business to a majority of their time as we move into serious negotiations with a target business for a business combination). The past successes of our executive officers and directors do not guarantee that we will successfully consummate an initial business combination.

19

 

As more fully discussed in “ConflictsConflicts of Interest,” if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he has pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations, he may be required to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Delaware law, prior to presenting such business combination opportunity to us. Most of our officers and directors currently have certain pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status and Other Information

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to 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 of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior December 31, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” shall have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

 

Employees

 

We currently have two executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination and the stage of the business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of our initial business combination.

Use of Proceeds

 

On December 28, 2020, we consummated our IPO of 17,500,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock of the Company, and one redeemable Warrant, entitling the holder thereof to purchase one-half of a share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share, and one right to receive one-twentieth (1/20) of a share of Common Stock. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $175,000,000. On December 28, 2020, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, and the closing occurred on December 30, 2020 when we sold 2,625,000 Over-Allotment Option Units at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $26,250,000.

 

On December 28, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we sold to our Sponsor 18,000,000 Private Warrants at a price of $0.50 per Private Warrant, generating total proceeds of $9,000,000. The Private Warrants are identical to the Warrants (as defined below) sold in the IPO except that the Private Warrants are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the Sponsor, or its permitted transferees. Additionally, our Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of the Private Warrants or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Private Placement Warrants Subscription Statement) until the date we complete our initial business combination.

 


A total of $203,262,500 of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO and the private placement were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of our public stockholders at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Nonetrustee (the “Trust Account”).

Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 7, 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 target businesses. Although we are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating an initial business combination, we intend to focus on businesses that have their primary operations located in North America in the healthcare industry. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering in effecting our initial business combination.

The issuance of additional shares in connection with an initial business combination:

 

may significantly dilute the equity interest of our investors in this offering who would not have pre-emption rights in respect of any such issuance;

 

may subordinate the rights of holders of shares of common stock if we issue shares of preferred stock with rights senior to those afforded to our shares of common stock;

 

will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and most likely will also result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and

 

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities, it could result in: 


Similarly, if we issue debt securities, it could result in:

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after our Initial Business Combination are insufficient to pay our debt obligations;

 

acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made all principal and interest payments when due if the debt security contains covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and we breach any such covenant without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

RestatementIn accordance with ASC 470-20-25-2, Debt with Conversion and Other Options - Debt Instruments with Detachable Warrants, the proceeds from the issuance of Previously Issued Financial Statements

On March 15, 2022, our audit committee concluded, after consultation with management, that our previously issuedthe Notes were allocated to the Notes and Subscription Warrants using the with-and-without method. Under this method, the Company first allocated the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to the Subscription Warrants based on their initial fair value measurement. The measurement of the Subscription Warrants fair value was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model considering all relevant assumptions current at the dates of issuance. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for more details on the periodassumptions used. The initial fair value of certain Subscription Warrants exceeded the proceeds received from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, included in our Annual Reportthe issuance of the Notes. In these instances, the proceeds allocated to the Notes were nil, and the Company recognized a loss on Form 10-K/A, as filed with the SEC on December 17, 2021, and our previously issued unaudited financial statements forissuance of those Subscription Warrants.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded a $3,645,777 and $0 debt discount upon issuance of the Notes. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt to the Original Maturity Date.

Pursuant to which the Company will pay the Placement Agents a cash fee upon closing equal to eight percent (8.0%) of the gross proceeds received by the Company, contingent upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

Contingencies

On October 5, 2023, a legal complaint was filed in Connecticut Superior Court against the Company and Suneva by the Consultant.  The Complaint alleges that the Company and Suneva owe the Consultant unpaid fees under an October 25, 2021 consulting agreement and asserts claims for breach of contract, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, and quantum meruit. As of the date of this filing, this action is not pending and has not been officially docketed with the Connecticut Superior Court.  The Company is continuing to assess the merits of the complaint but believes that the claims by the Consultant against the Company are without merit and the Company intends to defend the action if it is properly initiated.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 20,125,0001,844,774 public shares sold as part of the units in our initial public offering and subsequent full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option that have not been redeemed by stockholders, contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such redeemable common stock in connection with our liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with our initial business combination and in connection with certain amendments to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity(“ (“ASC 480”), redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all redeemable common stock have been classified outside of permanent equity.

 

The Company recognizesWe recognize 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.

 

Net (Loss) Income (Loss) per Common Share - As Restated Amendment No. 1

Net (loss) income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted (loss) income (loss) per common share does not consider the effect of the warrants and rights issued in connection with the (i) initial public offering, (ii) exercise of over-allotment, and (iii) Private Placement, and (iv) extension financing since the exercise of the warrants and rights are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants and rights would be anti-dilutive. The warrants and rights are exercisable to purchase 19,062,50022,068,750 shares of common stock in the aggregate.

 


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. The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the consolidated balance sheetsheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrumentinstrument’ could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The Company has determined that the public warrants qualify for equity treatment and are not derivative instruments. The public warrants were measured at fair value and recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. The Company has determined that the private warrants and subscription warrants are a derivative instrument.instruments. As the private warrants and subscription warrants meet the definition of a derivative the private warrants and subscription warrants are measured at fair value at issuance and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations in the period of change. In accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, the Company has concluded that a portion of the transaction costs which directly related to the initial public offering and the private placement, should be allocated to the private warrants based on their relative fair value against total proceeds, and recognized as transaction costs in the statement of operations.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options

The Company accounts for a series of unsecured senior promissory note agreements under ASC Topic ASC 470-20-25-2, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)- Debt Instruments with Detachable Warrants (“ASU 2020-06”ASC 470-20-25-2”).  In accordance with ASC 470-20-25-2, proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with stock purchase warrants (detachable call options) are allocated to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. For smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021 using the full retrospective method of transition. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impacttwo elements based on the financial statements forrelative fair values of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021debt instrument without the warrants and forof the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020.warrants themselves at time of issuance.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

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 consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (RESTATED)

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Company restated its audited financial statementstatements as of December 31, 2020 to provide for the reclassification of the private warrants as a liability for the affected period and restated its audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and unauditedcondensed financial statements as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 to reclassify the Company’s redeemable common stock. In connection with the restatements, the Company identified a material weakness in its internal controls related to accounting for complex financial instruments. Subsequent to the aforementioned restatements, the Company determined that it had inappropriately accounted for the allocation of proceeds received in its initial public offering and did not appropriately recognize stock-based compensation related to the transfer of shares of common stock to members of the Company’s board of directors. This resulted in the restatement of the Company’s audited financial statement as of December 31, 2020 and unauditedcondensed financial statements as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 (see Note 22021. Subsequent to the aforementioned restatements, the Company determined it had inappropriately accounted for the remeasurement of common stock subject to possible redemption in connection with the Company’s deposit into the Trust Account on March 23, 2022 for the extension of the accompanyingCompany’s business combination period. This resulted in the restatement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements).statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The control deficiencies related to the allocation of proceeds, and stock-based compensation, and remeasurement of common stock subject to possible redemption represent a continuation of the previously identified material weakness related to accounting for complex financial instruments.

In addition, management concluded that a deficiencyidentified deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting existed relating to the process of recording accounts payable, and accrued expenses, tax liabilities and concluded that the failure to properly account for such accrued expenses constituted a material weakness as defined in the SEC regulations. This material weaknessThe deficiencies related to accounts payable and accrued expenses resulted in the restatement of the Company’s unauditedcondensed financial statements as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021. The deficiencies related to accounts payable and accrued expenses resulted in the restatement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.2022. The deficiencies related to accounts payable and accrued expenses resulted in the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. Management additionally determined that a new material weakness existed as of March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2022 related to properly evaluating and disclosing contractual arrangements and differentiating them as contractual liabilities or accounting contingencies. As such, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of December 31, 2021.2022.

34

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management concluded that a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting existed relating to the accounting for complex financial instruments and that the failure to properly account for such instruments constituted a material weakness as defined in the SEC regulations. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and unaudited financial statements as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021. In addition, management concluded that a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting existed relating to the process of recording accounts payable and accrued expenses and that the failure to properly account for such accrued expenses constituted a material weakness as defined in the SEC regulations. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of the Company’s unaudited financial statements as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15- d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company;

 

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and


 

(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2021.2022. In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessments and those criteria, management determined that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, due to the material weaknesses described elsewhere in this Report.

Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, management has concluded that our audited consolidated financial statements included in this Report are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP for each of the periods presented therein.

 

This Report does not include an attestation report of internal controls from our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In light of the restatement of our financial statements as described above, we plan to enhance our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. In addition, we plan to enhance our processes to identify and record potential accruals.accruals and identify any necessary disclosures of agreements with service providers. Our plans at this time include increased communication with third-party service providers and additional procedures to identify and review subsequent invoices, disbursements, and disbursements.agreements. 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.

As the General Manager, Dr. Gill led two business units, Rib Fixation and the Soft Tissue Repair, with responsibilities for product development, sales, marketing and profitability. Under his leadership, the business units grew 2-3x faster than their market segment. In addition to general management responsibilities, Dr. Gill was involved in sourcing, closing and integrating four acquisitions within the orthopedic sector for Acumed. These transactions ranged from technology acquisitions serving as tuck-in product integrations to stand alone companies with global revenue. From 2009 to 2017, he was the Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Board Member of Tenex Health a privately held orthopedic sports medicine company. In this capacity he patented, designed and developed the initial platform technology intended to treat chronic tendon pain. Under his leadership, Tenex Health launched commercially, generated positive operating income, secured FDA regulatory approval, developed a manufacturing and operations infrastructure, and established sales channels serving the outpatient Ambulatory Surgery Centers. Before founding Tenex Health, Dr. Gill was the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of OrthoCor, a company providing non-invasive pain management technology, from 2007 to 2009, while also serving on an advisory and consulting capacity to a number of medical technology companies. OrthoCor developed and commercialized orthopedic knee braces integrating pulsed electromagnetic technology to address chronic pain associated with trauma or osteoarthritis. Prior to this, he served in executive business development roles for Boston Scientific Corporation from 2001 to 2007 where he was involved in sourcing and supporting the acquisition of private companies which collectively accounted for more than $750 million in enterprise value.

Dr. Gill completed his BSc and MSc in Anatomy from McGill University and PhD in Neuroscience from Mayo Clinic College of Medicine. We believe we will be able to capitalize on Dr. Gill’s experience and accomplishments in the orthopedic and spine markets, along with his relationships among executives in the target companies, their supply chains, and their customer networks, to successfully close a business combination.

The Compensation Committee reviews annually the Company’s corporate goals and objectives relevant to the officers’ compensation, evaluates the officers’ performance in light of such goals and objectives, determines and approves the officers’ compensation level based on this evaluation; makes recommendations to the Board regarding approval, disapproval, modification, or termination of existing or proposed employee benefit plans, makes recommendations to the Board with respect to non-CEO and non-CFO compensation and administers the Company’s incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans. The Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate any of its responsibilities to subcommittees as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion. The chief executive officer of the Company may not be present during voting or deliberations of the Compensation Committee with respect to his compensation. The Company’s executive officers do not play a role in suggesting their own salaries. Neither the Company nor the Compensation Committee has engaged any compensation consultant who has a role in determining or recommending the amount or form of executive or director compensation. During 2021,2022, the Compensation Committee did not hold any meetings.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our executive officers existing stockholders, our directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.

 

The Compensation Committee consists of Demetrios (Jim) G. Logothetis, Brian Cole and Doug Craft, each of whom is an independent director under NYSE American’s listing standards. Mr. Craft is the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee.

 


Conflicts of Interest

 

Investors should be aware of the following potential conflicts of interest:

 

None of our officers and directors is required to commit their full time to our affairs and, accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time among various business activities.

In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to our company as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our management has pre-existing fiduciary duties and contractual obligations and may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

Our officers and directors may in the future become affiliated with entities, including other blank check companies, engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by our company.

The insider shares owned by our officers and directors will be released from escrow only if a business combination is successfully completed and subject to certain other limitations. Additionally, our officers and directors will not receive distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any of their insider shares if we do not complete a business combination. In addition, our officers and directors may loan funds to us after the IPO and may be owed reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with certain activities on our behalf which would only be repaid if we complete an initial business combination. For the foregoing reasons, the personal and financial interests of our directors and executive officers may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business, completing a business combination in a timely manner and securing the release of their shares.

In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:

 

the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;

the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and

it would not be fair to the corporation and its stockholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.

41

In addition, when exercising powers or performing duties as a director, the director is required to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account, without limitation the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the position of the director and the nature of the responsibilities undertaken by him. A director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience.

 

As set out above, directors have a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. A director shall, forthwith after becoming aware of the fact that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company, disclose the interest to the board of the company. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the stockholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of stockholder approval at a meeting of stockholders.

 

Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise when our board evaluates a particular business opportunity with respect to the above-listed criteria. We cannot assure you that any of the above mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor. Furthermore, most of our officers and directors have pre-existing fiduciary obligations to other businesses of which they are officers or directors. To the extent they identify business opportunities which may be suitable for the entities to which they owe pre-existing fiduciary obligations, our officers and directors will honor those fiduciary obligations. Accordingly, it is possible they may not present opportunities to us that otherwise may be attractive to us unless the entities to which they owe pre-existing fiduciary obligations and any successors to such entities have declined to accept such opportunities.

 


In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, each of our officers and directors has contractually agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, until the earliest of a business combination, our liquidation or such time as he ceases to be an officer or director, to present to our company for our consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any suitable business opportunity which may reasonably be required to be presented to us, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations he might have.

 

The following table summarizes the current pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations of our officers and directors.

In connection with the vote required for any business combination, all of our existing stockholders, including all of our officers and directors, have agreed to vote their respective insider shares in favor of any proposed business combination. In addition, they have agreed to waive their respective rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the insider shares acquired by them prior to the IPO. If they purchased shares of Common Stock in the IPO or in the open market, however, they would be entitled to participate in any liquidation distribution in respect of such shares but have agreed not to redeem such shares (or sell their shares in any tender offer) in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination or an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to pre-business combination activity.

 

All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Any such related party transactions, as defined under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act, will require prior approval by our audit committee and a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors, or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our audit committee and a majority of our disinterested “independent” directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties.

42

 

With respect to possible initial business combinations that may be entered into between us and an entity that is affiliated with any of our officers, directors or initial stockholders, to further minimize conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate such an affiliated initial business combination unless we have obtained (i) an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions on the type of target business we seek to acquire that such an initial business combination is fair to our unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view and (ii) the approval of a majority of our disinterested and of our independent directors. Furthermore, in no event will any of our initial stockholders, officers, directors, special advisors or their respective affiliates be paid any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other similar compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial business combination.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We adopted a code of conduct and ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. The code of ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business.

 

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, officers and stockholders who beneficially own more than 10% of any class of equity securities of the Company registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons,” to file initial statements of beneficial ownership of securities and statements of changes in beneficial ownership of securities with respect to the Company’s equity securities with the SEC. All Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all reports that such Reporting Persons file with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a). Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports and upon written representations of the Reporting Persons received by us, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed in a timely manner.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Employment Agreements

Executive Officers and Director Compensation

 

No executive officer has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. NoExcept as set forth below, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing stockholders, including our directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. However, such individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than our board of directors and audit committee, which includes persons who may seek reimbursement, or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

2020 Transactions

In August 2020, our sponsor purchased 3,593,750 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.007 per share. We subsequently declared a share dividend of 0.36 for each outstanding share, resulting in 4,887,500 shares outstanding, and on December 22, 2020 declared another share dividend of 0.03 for each outstanding share, resulting in 5,031,250 shares outstanding, which shares are referred to herein as “founder shares” or “insider shares.” Prior to the initial investment in the company of $25,000 by our sponsor, we had no assets, tangible or intangible.

On December 23, 2020, our Sponsor transferred 81,000 of its founder shares to three board members 27,000 Founder Shares to each board member, for a nominal fee. On April 30, 2021, our Sponsor subsequently transferred 27,000 of its founder shares to a new board member.

 

On December 28, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we sold to our Sponsor 18,000,000 Private Warrants at a price of $0.50 per Private Warrant, generating total proceeds of $9,000,000. The Private Warrants are identical to the Warrants sold in the IPO except that the Private Warrants are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the Sponsor, or its permitted transferees. Additionally, our Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of the Private Warrants or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Private Placement Warrants Subscription Statement) until the date we complete our initial business combination. The Sponsor was granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Warrants.

 

The holders of our insider shares issued and outstanding on the date of this annual report,Annual Report, as well as the holders of the Private Warrants (and all underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the registration rights agreement, dated December 22, 2020. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that we register such securities. The holders of the majority of the insider 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 private warrants can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after we consummate a business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of a business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

In order to meet our working capital needs following the consummation of our IPO, our initial stockholders, officers and directors and their respective affiliates 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. Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would be repaid upon consummation of our initial business combination, without interest.

2022 Transactions

On March 21, 2022, March 23, 2022, April 4, 2022, April 27, 2022, May 9, 2022, October 27, 2022, and November 25, 2022, we entered into subscription agreements with several lenders for a loan of up to $4,000,000, in the aggregate (the “Subscription Agreements”).

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, pursuant to which we issued Notes fora series of unsecured senior promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $4,000,000 (the “Notes”) to the subscribers. The subscribersOf the $4,000,000 in Notes, $1,955,000 was subscribed for the Notes areby several related parties affiliated with our Sponsor. Upsponsor, Viveon Health LLC, and the balance in the amount of $2,045,000 was subscribed for by parties that are not related to our sponsor.

Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements, the subscribers also received warrants to purchase one share of our common stock for every $2.00 of the funded principal amount of the Notes up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, in the aggregate, at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Subscription Warrants”). The Subscription Warrant term commences on the Exercise Date (as hereinafter defined) for a period of 49 months. The Subscription Warrants are exercisable commencing on the date of the initial business combination (the “Exercise Date”) and have a cashless exercise feature that is available at any time on or after the Exercise Date. Commencing on the date 13 months following the Exercise Date, the subscribers have the right, but not the obligation, to put the Subscription Warrants to us at a purchase price of $5.00 per share. We have agreed to file, within thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of an initial business combination, a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register for resale the shares of common stock underlying the Subscription Warrants.

The Notes do not bear interest and mature upon the earlier of (i) the closing of our initial business combination, and (ii) December 31, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). The Notes provide for a credit line up to the maximum amount of $4,000,000. We will not have the right to re-borrow any portion of any loans made under the Notes once repaid. As of December 31, 2022, a commitment fee in the amount of $400,000, equal to 10% of the maximum principal amount of the Note, had been paid to the subscribers, on a pro rata basis. In the event that we do not consummate a business combination by the Maturity Date, the Notes will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of our Trust Account, if any. Subsequent to December 31, 2022, in connection with the Merger Agreement (as defined below) a majority of the holders of the Notes and Subscription Warrants have agreed to exchange such Notes and Subscription Warrants pursuant to the terms of an exchange agreement with Viveon dated as of May 1, 2023 (the Exchange Agreement”) for a separate series of Clearday senior convertible promissory notes (the “Clearday Senior Convertible Notes”). The Clearday Senior Convertible Notes bear 8% interest per annum and mature upon the earlier of (i) June 30, 2024, or (ii) the date of any Change in Control. . Upon the consummation of the business combination and the exchange of the Subscription Agreements for the Clearday Senior Convertible Notes, the lenders will forfeit their Subscription Warrants as part of the exchange. One lender has chosen not to convert to Clearday Senior Convertible Notes. The balance owed to this lender under the Notes is considered due upon demand by the lender. As of the date of this filing of this Annual Report the lender has not requested payment of the Note.

Of the $4,000,000 in notes, $1,955,000 was subscribed for by several related parties affiliated with our sponsor, Viveon Health LLC. $250,000 of the principal amount of the Notes was funded by Mr, Papadopoulos,Brian Cole, one of our Chief Financial Officer.directors pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated as of April 4, 2022, between the Company and EAC Enterprises, L.P. Series D(the “Cole Warrant Holder”), an entity that is an affiliate of, and controlled by Brian Cole (the “Cole Subscription Agreement”), and the balance of the Notes was subscribed for by parties that are not related to our sponsor. The entry into the Subscription Agreementssubscription agreements and the terms of the Notesnotes and Warrantswarrants was approved by the Audit Committee at a meeting held on March 21, 2022. Pursuant to the Cole Subscription Agreement, the Company also issued the Cole Warrant Holder, a warrant to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.

On May 10, 2022, Suneva entered into a subordinated convertible promissory note (the “Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note”) with Intuitus Suneva Debt LLC (“Intuitus”), pursuant to which Suneva borrowed an aggregate of $1,500,000 to be used to fund working capital. The Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note bears interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum and is payable upon the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2022 or (ii) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Suneva. In addition, Intuitus may elect by written notice to Suneva to convert all (but not less than all) of the then-outstanding principal and interest on the Note into shares of Suneva Series AA Stock as is determined by dividing the total principal and accrued but unpaid interest balance on the Note by the $0.80. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Rom Papadopoulos, as Sole Proprietor of Intuitus, has contributed $200,000 of the $1,500,000 available under the Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note.

Commencing on the date of the Company’s final prospectus, the Company has agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $20,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial support. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. The Company incurred $240,000 and $240,000 of administrative service fees for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The accrued amounts are included in Due to related party on the balance consolidated balance sheets. For the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, $50,000 and $10,000 of such expenses were recorded in Due to related party, respectively.

2023 Transactions

We have an agreement to pay an affiliate of our sponsor a monthly fee of $20,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support and the series of unsecured senior promissory note agreements we entered into with several lenders affiliated with our Sponsor. We began incurring these fees on December 22, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

On February 2, 2023, the Merger Agreement between Viveon and Suneva was terminated. From the point of termination, the Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note is no longer considered a related party transaction to Viveon as the Company will no longer be entering into a Business Combination with Suneva.

Pursuant to a Warrant Cancellation and Forfeiture Agreement dated as of August 16, 2023, the Cole Warrant Holder agreed to forfeit for cancellation 89,029 of the warrant shares underlying the warrant issued pursuant to the Cole Subscription Agreement described above. At initial issuance the value of the warrants exceeded $120,000. As a result, Mr. Cole agreed to forfeit certain of the warrants so that the value would be reduced to $120,000 and would not impact the determination that he is an independent director.

Our audit committee reviews and approves all reimbursements and payments made to any initial stockholder or member of our management team, or our or their respective affiliates, and any reimbursements and payments made to members of our audit committee are reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors, with any interested director abstaining from such review and approval.

 

No compensation or fees of any kind, including finder’s fees, consulting fees or other similar compensation, will be paid to any of our initial stockholders, officers or directors who owned our shares of Common Stock, or to any of their respective affiliates, prior to or with respect to the business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is).

 

All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions, including the payment of any compensation, will require prior approval by a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors (to the extent we have any) or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our disinterested “independent” directors (or, if there are no “independent” directors, our disinterested directors) determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties.

 


Related Party Policy

 

Our code of ethics requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our Common Stock, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

 

Our audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions require prior approval by our audit committee and a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors, or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our audit committee and a majority of our disinterested “independent” directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties. Additionally, we require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

 

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

 

In furtherance of our policies with respect to related party transactions, with respect to any initial business combination that we consider with an entity that is affiliated with any of our initial stockholders, directors or officers, to further minimize potential conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate a business combination with an entity affiliated with such parties unless (i) an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions on the type of target business we seek to acquire that such an initial business combination is fair to our unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view and (ii) the approval of a majority of our disinterested and of our independent directors. Furthermore, in no event will any of our existing officers, directors or initial stockholders, or any entity with which they are affiliated, be paid any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination.

 

Director Independence

 

NYSE American’s listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. For a description of the director independence, see above Part III, Item 10 - Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Viveon Health Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Viveon Health Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the yeartwo years in the period ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020,2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the yeartwo years in the period ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020,2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.America

Restatement of the 2022 Financial Statements

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 have been restated to correct a misstatement.

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination and the Company’s cash and working capital as of December 31, 20212022 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. These conditions raise 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 statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Restatement of Previously Issued Unaudited Financial Statements

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the unaudited condensed financial statements previously included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 have been restated to correct the misstatements.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits.audits. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are 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 audits 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 audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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 statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

VIVEON HEALTH ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Viveon Health Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “Viveon”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Delaware company on August 7, 2020. The Company was 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 (“Business Combination”).

 

The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. The Company’s only activities from August 7, 2020 (inception) throughfor the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), described below, and, after the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company does not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the Initial Public Offering. The Company incurs expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. The Company’s sponsor is Viveon Health, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

 

The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 22, 2020. On December 28, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 17,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00$10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $175,000,000,$175,000,000, which is discussed in Note 4. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 18,000,000 warrants (the “Private Warrants”), at a price of $0.50$0.50 per Private Warrant, which is discussed in Note 5.

 

On December 30, 2020, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option by purchasing 2,625,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating aggregate of gross proceeds of $26,250,000.$26,250,000.

 

Upon closing of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, $203,262,500$203,262,500 (approximately $10.10$10.10 per Unit) from net offering 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”) and invested in U.S. government securities, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of (1) the completion of the initial Business Combination within 15 months, unless extended to a total of 24 months, pursuant to the terms of an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), and (2) the Company’s redemption of 100%100% of the outstanding Public Shares if the Company has not completed a Business Combination in the required time period.

 

While the Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the cash held outside of the Trust Account, substantially all of the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants, which are placed in the Trust Account, are intended to be applied generally toward completing 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%80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions) 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%50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires an interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

VIVEON HEALTH ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In connection with any proposed initial Business Combination, the Company will either (1) seek stockholder approval of such initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which public stockholders may seek to convert their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination, into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable) or (2) provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), in each case subject to the limitations described herein. The Public Shares subject to redemption were recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion 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”).

 


VIVEON HEALTH ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

If the Company determines to engage in a tender offer, such tender offer will be structured so that each public stockholder may tender any or all of his, her or its Public Shares rather than some pro rata portion of his, her or its shares. If enough stockholders tender their shares so that the Company is unable to satisfy any applicable closing condition set forth in the definitive agreement related to its initial Business Combination, or the Company is unable to maintain net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001,$5,000,001, the Company will not consummate such initial Business Combination. The decision as to whether it will seek stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares to the Company in a tender offer will be made by the Company based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction or whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek stockholder approval.

 

If the Company provides stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to it by means of a tender offer, it will file tender offer documents with the SEC which will contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial Business Combination as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval of its initial Business Combination, the Company will consummate the Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock present in person or by proxy at a meeting of the Company are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of its initial Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions in connection with its initial Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules,(the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “AmendedAmended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”)Incorporation will provide 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 Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20%20% of the shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the Company’s prior consent. The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors (the “initial stockholders”) have agreed not to propose any amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (a) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of its Public Shares in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100%100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Combination Period”) or (b) with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

VIVEON HEALTH ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On March 18, 2022, the Company held a stockholder meeting to seek approval to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from March 28, 2022 (the “Original Termination Date”) to June 28, 2022. In connection with the extension, the Company made a deposit into the Trust Account of $720,000 on March 23, 2022. As part of the meeting, stockholders redeemed 15,092,126 shares resulting in redemption payments out of the Trust Account totaling approximately $152,451,819. In addition, stockholders approved a proposal to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after the Extended Date, upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, for a total of up to nine months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of the proposed Business Combination with Suneva Medical, Inc. as described below or any potential alternative initial Business Combination shall have occurred. On each of June 23, 2022, July 26, 2022, August 30, 2022, September 28, 2022, October 28, 2022, and November 25, 2022 the Company deposited $240,000 into the Trust Account to extend the date to consummate a Business Combination through July 28, 2022, August 28, 2022, September 28, 2022, October 28, 2022, November 28, 2022, and December 28, 2022, respectively.

On December 23, 2022, the Company held its 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to among other things, seek approval to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to allow the Company to extend the date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time for a total of up to six months from December 28, 2022 until June 30, 2023 (the “Second Extended Date”), upon three calendar days’ advance notice prior to the applicable monthly deadline unless the closing of any potential initial business combination shall have occurred prior to the Second Extended Date. On each of December 27, 2022, January 26, 2023, February 27, 2023, March 27, 2023, and April 28, 2023, the Company deposited $100,000 into the Trust Account to extend the date to consummate a Business Combination through January 31, 2023, February 28, 2023, March 31, 2023, April 30, 2023 and May 31, 2023, respectively. Viveon made a final deposit of $100,000 on May 24, 2023 for a one month extension until June 30, 2023.

On June 22, 2023, the Company held a stockholder meeting to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month until December 31, 2023, by depositing $85,000 into the trust account and (ii) further extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination (without seeking additional approval from the stockholders) for up to an additional three months, from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024, with no additional deposits to be made into the Trust Account during such period, each such extension for an additional one month period, (the “Third Extended Date”).

On June 22, 2023, the Company held a stockholder meeting (the “June 2023 Stockholders Meeting”) in which stockholders voted to (A) amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to allow the Company to (i) initially extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination up to six times, each such extension for an additional one month period, until December 31, 2023, by depositing into the Trust Account, the amount of $85,000 for each one-month extension until December 31, 2023, and (ii) further extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination (without seeking additional approval from the stockholders) for up to an additional three months, from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024, with no additional deposits to be made into the Trust Account during such period, each such extension for an additional one month period, (the “Third Extended Date”), upon one calendar day advance notice to the Trustee, prior to the applicable monthly deadline, unless the closing of the proposed initial business combination with Clearday, Inc., or any potential alternative initial business combination shall have occurred prior to the Third Extended Date; and (B) to amend the Company’s Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2020, by and between the Company and the Trustee, allowing the Company to (i) initially extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination up to six times, each such extension for an additional one month period, until December 31, 2023, by depositing into the Trust Account, the amount of $85,000 for each one-month extension until December 31, 2023, and (ii) further extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination (without seeking additional approval from the stockholders) for up to an additional three months, from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024, each such extension for an additional one month period, with no additional deposits to be made into the Trust Account during such period from January 1, 2024 through March 31, 2024. In connection with the stockholders’ vote at the June 2023 Stockholders Meeting, 227,359 shares of common stock were tendered for redemption. As a result, approximately $2,498,947 (approximately $10.99 per share) were removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders, without taking into account additional allocation of payments to cover any tax obligation of the Company, such as franchise taxes, but not including any excise tax, since that date. Following redemptions, the Company has 1,617,415 shares of public common stock outstanding, and approximately $17,777,324 will remain in the Trust Account. On June 27, 2023, and July 27, 2023, the Company deposited $85,000 in the Trust Account, to extend the date by which the Company can complete an initial business combination by one month to July 31, 2023 and August 31, 2023, respectively.

Risks & Uncertainties

Management continues 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 search for a prospective partner company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements.

The Companycredit and financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruptions due to the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia. The conflict is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicableexpected to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies”have further global economic consequences, including but not limited to not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirementspossibility of Section 404severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in inflation rates and uncertainty about economic and political stability.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company intends to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and Excise Tax

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchased by publicly traded U.S. corporations and certain U.S. subsidiaries of publicly traded non-U.S. corporations beginning in 2023, with certain exceptions (the “Excise Tax”). Because we are a Delaware corporation and our securities trade on the New York Stock Exchange, we will likely be considered a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the Inflation Reduction Act. While not free from doubt, absent any further guidance from Congress or the U.S. Department of the Treasury, there is significant risk that the Excise Tax will apply to any redemptions of our common stock after December 31, 2022, including redemptions in connection with an initial Business Combination and any amendment to our certificate of incorporation to extend the time to consummate an initial Business Combination, unless an exemption is available. In addition, the Excise Tax may make a transaction with us less appealing to potential business combination targets, and thus, potentially hinder our ability to enter into and consummate an initial Business Combination. Further, the application of the Excise Tax in the event of a liquidation after December 31, 2022 is uncertain, and could impact the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation.

Those transactions consist of the followingyear ended December 31, 2022.

 

On April 30, 2021 the Sponsor transferred 27,000 Founder Shares of the Company to a fourth director (the “Additional Transferee”) for a nominal fee. The Company did not recognize stock-based compensation associated with the transfer of the Founder Shares to the Additional Transferee in quarterly filings for June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021.

In addition to the above overstatement of legal fees, management determined that there was an understatement of accrued fees relating to the agreement with the Consultant that is the subject of a dispute (see Note 8). On October 25, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with the Consultant for investor relations and public relations services in connection with a Business Combination with Suneva. The Consulting Agreement specifically identified Suneva as the target of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the agreement, the Consultant would be paid a fee of $15,000 per month from the date of the agreement until the Business Combination with Suneva, with an additional $15,000 accruing each month until the Business Combination date. Additionally, pursuant to the agreement the Consultant would be paid a success fee of $300,000 contingent upon the consummation of the Business Combination with Suneva, a performance based fee of up to $200,000 upon the consummation of the Business Combination with Suneva if the Consultant achieved certain objectives, a retainer of $34,000 due upon the consummation of the Business Combination with Suneva which would be held to the term of the agreement, a fee of $17,000 per month for investor relations services for the combined entity commencing upon the consummation of the Business Combination with Suneva with the first payment due within 5 days of the Business Combination with Suneva and subsequent monthly payments due upon the first of the corresponding month of services, and a fee of $17,000 per month for public relations services for the combined entity commencing upon the consummation of the Business Combination with Suneva with the first payment due within 5 days of the Business Combination with Suneva and subsequent monthly payments due upon the first of the corresponding month of services. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” the Company evaluated the changes and has since determined that the transfer of the Founder Sharesrelated impacts were material to the Additional Transferee constitutes a stock award of the Company granted to a member of the board of directors on April 30, 2021 as compensation for the Additional Transferee’s services as a member of the board of directors. This award is subject to ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Founder Shares vested immediately, and, as such, in accordance with ASC 718, the Company must recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares transferred times the grant date fair value per share less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares.previously presented financial statements.

 

The Company determined that it was incorrectly recognizing and accruing formation and operating costs in connection with the Company’s administrative support agreement with the Sponsor, resulting in an overstatement of formation and operating costs and accrued costs and other expenses in quarterly filings for March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021.

The Company determined that it inappropriately recognized a payment made on behalf of a related entity as expense of the Company in its quarterly filing for September 30, 2021. The payment should have been recorded as an amount due from a related party.

The Company failed to recognize and accrue legal and consulting expenses in connection with its Business Combination, resulting in and understatement of formation and operating costs and accrued costs and other expenses in its quarterly filings for March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021.

The aforementioned adjustments result in non-cash financial statement corrections and will have no impact on the Company’s current or previously reported cash position or total operating, investing or financing cash flows.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

UsePrinciples of EstimatesConsolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned and controlled operating subsidiary, Old Merger Sub after elimination of all intercompany transactions and balances as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart 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 of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. The Company has elected to implement the aforementioned exemptions.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company intends to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 date of the consolidated financial statements 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 effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates. The initial valuation of the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 4), Rights (as defined in Note 4) common stock subject to redemption and the periodic valuation of the Private Warrants and Subscription Warrants (as defined in Note 5) required management to exercise significant judgement in its 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 cash equivalents in the amount of $350,455$6,346 and $3,092,771,$350,455, were held in money market funds as of December 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.

 

Investments Held in Trust Account

As of December 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in a money market account and mutual funds which investinvested in U.S. Treasury securities.securities, respectively. The assets were transferred from mutual fundfunds to a money market account on December 21, 2022. The assets in the amount of $203,282,989$53,815,395 and $203,262,660$203,282,989 were held in the Trust Account as of December 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in Interest and dividends earned on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.

 

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging(“ (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and recorded as a warrant liability. In accordance with guidance contained in ASC 815, the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 4) qualify for equity treatment. The Private Warrants and Subscription Warrants (as defined in Note 7) do not qualify as equity and are recorded as a liabilityliabilities at fair value. Changes in the estimated fair value of the Private Warrants and Subscription Warrants are recognized as a non-cash gaingains or losslosses on the consolidated statements of operations.

 


Debt with Conversion and Other Options

 

The Company accounts for a series of unsecured senior promissory note agreements under ASC Topic ASC 470-20-25-2, Debt with Conversion and Other Options - Debt Instruments with Detachable Warrants (“ASC 470-20-25-2”).  In accordance with ASC 470-20-25-2, proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with stock purchase warrants (detachable call options) are allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at time of issuance.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 20,125,0005,032,874 Public Shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and subsequent full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option that have not been redeemed by stockholders, contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such redeemable common stock in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Share-Based Payment ArrangementsVIVEON HEALTH ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Share-Based Payment Arrangements

The Company accounts for stock awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718,Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires that all equity awards be accounted for at their fair value. Fair value is measured on the grant date and is equal to the underlying value of the stock.

 

Costs equal to these fair values are recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards that are expected to vest, or in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately and have no future service condition. For awards that vest over time, cumulative adjustments in later periods are recorded to the extent actual forfeitures differ from the Company’s initial estimates; previously recognized compensation cost is reversed if the service or performance conditions are not satisfied and the award is forfeited.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Income Taxes

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

 

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 December 31, 2022 and 2021 of $765,613and December 31, 2020.$0, respectively. The Company’s management determined that the United States is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties for the yearyears ended December 31, 20212022 and for the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020.2021. 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 is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common ShareSee Note 12 for additional information on income taxes for the periods presented.

 

Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share - As Restated

Net (loss) income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted (loss) income (loss) per common share does not consider the effect of the warrants issuedPublic Warrants (as defined in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, (ii) exercise of over-allotmentNote 4), Private Warrants, Subscription Warrants (as defined in Note 7), and (iii) Private PlacementRights (as defined in Note 4) since the exercise of the warrants and Rights are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants and Rights would be anti-dilutive.

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 Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000.$250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheetsheets for current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

Level 1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

 

Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

 

See Note 11 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

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 815. The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the consolidated balance sheetsheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The Company has determined the warrantsPrivate Warrants and Subscription Warrants (as defined in Note 7) are a derivative instrument.instruments. As the Private Warrants and Subscription Warrants meet the definition of a derivative the warrants are measured at fair value at issuance and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820 with changes in fair value recognized in the statementconsolidated statements of operations in the period of change. In accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments,, the Company has concluded that a portion of the transaction costs which directly related to the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, should be allocated to the Private Warrants based on their relative fair value against total proceeds, and recognized as transaction costs in the statementconsolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. For smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021 using the full retrospective method of transition. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020.

Preferred stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001$0.0001 and with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of December 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, there was no preferred stock issued or outstanding.

 

Common stock — The Company is authorized to issue 60,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001$0.0001 per share. Holders are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock. As of December 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, there were 5,031,250 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, excluding 1,844,774 and 20,125,000 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption.redemption, respectively.

 

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-twentieth (1/20) of a share of common stock upon consummation of the initial Business Combination. In the event the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of the 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-twentieth (1/20) of a share underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination. The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of Rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. As a result, holders must hold Rights in multiples of 20 in order to receive shares for all Rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the required time period and the Company redeems the Public Shares for the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Rights will not receive any of such funds for their Rights and the Rights will expire worthless.

NOTE 9. 10. WARRANTS

Each Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half (1/2) of a share of common stock at a price of $11.50$11.50 per whole share, subject to adjustment. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its s only for a whole number of shares. This means that only an even number of s may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder.

The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption (except the Private Warrants):

in whole and not in part;

at a price of $0.01$0.01 per warrant;

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

if and only if, 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.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption as described above, its management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the Public Warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the Public Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Public Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants. Whether the Company will exercise its option to require all holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” will depend on a variety of factors including the price of our common shares at the time the Public Warrants are called for redemption, its cash needs at such time and concerns regarding dilutive share issuances.

  

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$9.50 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by its board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to its Sponsor, initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any founders’ shares held by them 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 our initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of our initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the Market Value is below $9.50 per share, the exercise price of the Public Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the price at which the Company issues the additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities and the $16.50$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. The Public Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to the Company, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Public Warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the Public Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Private Warrants

The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants except that the Private Warrants will be non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

 

Subscription Warrants

The Subscription Warrant term commences on the Exercise Date (as hereinafter defined) for a period of 49 months. The Subscription Warrants are exercisable commencing on the date of the initial Business Combination (the “Exercise Date”) and have a cashless exercise feature that is available at any time on or after the Exercise Date. Commencing on the date 13 months following the Exercise Date, the subscribers have the right, but not the obligation, to put the Subscription Warrants to the Company at a purchase price of $5.00 per share. The Company has agreed to file, within thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of an initial Business Combination, a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register for resale the shares of common stock underlying the Subscription Warrants.

As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 20,125,000 Public Warrants and 18,000,000 Private Warrants outstanding. As of December 31, 2022, there were 2,000,000 Subscription Warrants outstanding. The Company accounts for the Public Warrants, Private Warrants, and PrivateSubscription Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. The Public Warrants qualify for equity treatment under ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the Private Warrants and Subscription Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, the Private Warrants and Subscription Warrants must be recorded as a liability.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, the valuation allowance was $830,338 and 5,422, respectively.

The warrant liabilities were 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 statementconsolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company established the initial fair value of the Private Warrants on December 28, 2020, the date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, and revalued on December 31, 20202022 and on December 31, 2021, using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date, on December 31, 20202022 and on December 31, 2021 due to the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation for the Private Warrants as of December 31, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 were as follows:

The Company established the initial fair value of the Subscription Warrants on March 21, 2022, March 23, 2022, April 4, 2022, April 27, 2022, May 9,2022, October 27,2022, and November 25,2022 the dates of issuance, and revalued on December 31, 2022, using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement dates, and on December 31, 2022 due to the use of unobservable inputs.

1 The contractual term of the Private Warrants is 5 years from the closing of a Business Combination. As of December 31, 2022 the expected term remaining of the Private Warrants was calculated based on assumptions for both a successful and unsuccessful Business Combination resulting in a weighted expected term remaining of 2.11. This was calculated using an expected term remaining with an unsuccessful Business Combination of 1.00 year (weighted at 75.5% probability) and a successful business combination term remaining of 5.52 years (weighted at 24.5% probability). Prior to December 31, 2022 the expected term was calculated using only assumptions for a successful Business Combination. The change in the calculation was made as using an expected term that was calculated based only on the assumption that the Business Combination would be successful as an input under the Monte Carlo simulation model resulted in an unsolvable expected volatility under the Monte Carlo simulation model.

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 unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 of $765,613 and $0, respectively. The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 related to uncertain tax positions would impact the effective income tax rate if recognized. The Company’s management determined that the United States is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties for the year ended December 31, 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 Notes do not bear interest and mature upon the earlier of (i) the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination, and (ii) December 31, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). The Notes provide for a credit line up to the maximum amount of $4,000,000. The Company will not have the right to re-borrow any portion of any loans made under the Notes once repaid. A commitment fee in the amount of $400,000, equal to 10% of the maximum principal amount of the Note, shall be paid to the subscribers, on a pro rata basis, by the Company promptly following the initial funding. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by the Maturity Date, the Notes will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any.
