Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to thea Unit Subscription Agreement, the Company completed the private sale of
360,000

F-5

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds were placed in the Trust Account and are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. Nasdaq rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80%
80
% of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned and less any interest earned thereon that is released for taxes) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50%
50
% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

6

The Company will provide its Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares (as defined below) upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company may seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 $

5,000,001
upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

If the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15%
15
% or more of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.15 $
10.15
per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants or rights.

All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). In accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic
480-10-S99,
redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants), the initial carrying value of the shares of Class A common stock classified as temporary equity was the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC Topic
470-20.
Because of the redemption feature noted above, the shares of Class A common stock are subject to ASC Topic
480-10-S99.
If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional
paid-in
capital). While redemptions cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001,$
5,000,001
, the Public Shares are redeemable and will be classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.

If a stockholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”),SEC, and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to vote its Class B Common Stock, the Common Stock included in the Private Units (the “Private Shares”) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of a Business Combination, (b) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the Company’s
pre-Business
Combination activities prior to the consummation of a Business Combination unless the Company provides dissenting public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (c) not to redeem any shares (including the Class B Common Stock) and Private Units (including underlying securities) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a Business Combination (or to sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if the Company does not seek stockholder approval in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights of
pre-Business
Combination activity and (d) that the Class B Common Stock and Private Units (including underlying securities) shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However, the Sponsor will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination.

F-6

The Company will have until JanuaryJuly 7, 2022 to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (net of taxes payable and less interest to pay dissolution expenses up to $50,000), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the IPO price per Unit ($10.00).

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below $10.00$10.15 per share, (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the company’s independent registered accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust
Account.

On January 7, 2022, the Company held a stockholder meeting to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from January 7, 2022 to July 7, 2022. As part of the meeting, stockholders redeemed 1,170,511 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account. As a result, approximately $11,886,421 (approximately $10.15 per share) was removed from the Company’s trust account to pay such holders. As part of the extension meeting to extend the liquidation date to July 7, 2022, the Sponsor and eCombustible loaned to the Company $1,032,949 to deposit into the Company’s trust account for each share of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Public Share”) that was not redeemed.
Risks and Uncertainties

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus
(COVID-19)
as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States and the World. As of the date the financial statement was issued, there was considerable uncertainty around the expected duration of this pandemic. The Company has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that
COVID-19
could have a negative effect on identifying a target company for a Business Combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of this financial statement. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Liquidity

Going Concern and Management’s Plans

Subsequent

In order to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order tofund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsoran intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor,our sponsor or certain of the Company’sour officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provideloan us funds on a
non-interest
bearing basis as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 4). Asevent that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of September 30, 2021 there were 0 outstandingthe working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender, upon consummation of our initial business combination. The units would be identical to the placement units. Other than as described above, the terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account. On November 11, 2021, the Sponsor provided a commitment to provide a $1,000,000
non-interest
bearing loan for working capital purposes.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company There were $215,000 and $0 outstanding at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The company has sufficient working capitalincurred and borrowing capacityexpects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. We may need to raise additional funds in order to meet its needs through the earlierexpenditures required for operating our business. Further, if our estimates of the consummationcosts of identifying a Business Combinationtarget business, undertaking
in-depth
due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period,because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. In addition, we intend to target businesses larger than we could acquire with the Company will use the funds held outsidenet proceeds of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifyingIPO and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In accordance with SEC and its staff’s recent guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, subtopic 10, section S99, redemption provisions not solely within the controlsale of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company had previously classifiedplacement units, and may as a portion of the Class A common stock in permanent equity. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. The Company restated its financial statements to classify all Class A common stock as temporary equity and any related impact, as the threshold in its charter would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus wouldresult be required to be disclosed outside of permanent equity.

In connectionseek additional financing to complete such proposed initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the changecompletion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in presentation for the Class A common stock subjectorder to redemption,meet our obligations. While the Company also restated its income (loss) per common share calculationintends to allocate net income (loss)complete the proposed Merger Agreement before July 7, 2022 there are no assurances that this will happen. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to Class A and Class B common stock oncontinue as a pro rata basis based on weighted average share outstanding. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination asgoing concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the most likely outcome in which case, both classes of shares share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company.

There has been no change in the Company’s total assets, liabilities or operating results.

of the Securities Act.and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consistingas of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating resultsMarch 31, 2022 and cash flows for the periods presented.

The interim results for the three months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 include all adjustments, which are only of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2022 and its results of changes in stockholders’ deficit for the period from September 25, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2021three months ended March 31, 2022.

interim period.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to
non-emerging
growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not0t have any cash equivalents as of September 30,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At September 30,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury Bills.

Warrant Liability

Warrant Liability

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC Topic 480 and ASC Topic

815-15.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is
re-assessed
at the end of each reporting period. In accordance with ASC Topic
825-10 “Financial
“Financial Instruments”, offering costs attributable to the issuance of the derivative warrant liabilities have been allocated based on their relative fair value of total proceeds and are recognized in the statement of operations as incurred.

F-8

The 8,625,000 warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public OfferingIPO (the “Public Warrants”) and the 295,312 Private Placement Warrants (as defined below) are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40.
815-
40
.
Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to
re-measurement
at each balance sheet date until exercised. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Public OfferingIPO and Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model each measurement date, except that the Public Warrants are valued based on market prices once publicly traded. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as
non-current
liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

F-9

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public OfferingIPO that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering.IPO. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public OfferingIPO based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as transactions costs incurred in connection with warrants in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

IPO.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheet.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering,IPO, the Company recognized the remeasurement from initial carrying value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A common stock resulted in charges against additional
paid-in
capital and accumulated deficit.


At September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the shares of redeemable class A common stock
reflected in the Balance Sheet were reconciled in the following table:

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the 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. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21%for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and for the period from September 25, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2021, due to the valuation allowance recorded on the Company’s net operating losses.

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. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were 0 unrecognized tax benefits and 0 amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30,March 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 Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

F-11

On March 27,
2020
, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES” ActAct) into law. The CARES Act includes several significant business tax provisions that, among other things, would eliminate the taxable income limit for certain net operating losses (“NOL”) and allow businesses to carry back NOLs arising in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to the five prior years, suspend the excess business loss rules, accelerate refunds of previously generated corporate alternative minimum tax credits, generally loosen the business interest limitation under IRC section 163(j) from 30 percent to 50 percent among other technical corrections included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax provisions. The Company does not believe that the CARES Act will have a significant impact on Company'sCompany’s financial position or statement of operations.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Net income (Loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public OfferingIPO and warrants issued as components of the Private Placement Units (the “Placement Warrants”) since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

The Company applies the

two-class
method in calculating net income (loss) per common share. The remeasurement adjustment associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from net income (loss) per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the warrant liabilities (see Note 10)9).

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income, total assets, or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.

NOTE 8.7. WARRANT LIABILITY

After taking into account the company’s prior restatement of its audited balance sheet as of January 7, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 14, 2021, the Company has accounted for 8,920,313 warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering (the 8,625,000 Public Warrants and the 295,312 Private Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company will classify each warrant as a liability at its fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company's statement of operations. For more information regarding this classification, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 24, 2021.


Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable
30
days after the completion of a Business Combination and will expire
five years
after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.


The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

F-16

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of its initial Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a
post-effective
amendment to the registration statement or a new registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th60th business day after the closing of the Company’s initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption..exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, it may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event it does not so elect, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

in whole and not in part;

16

in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, or the30-day
30-day
redemption period, to each warrant holder; and
if, and only if, the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a
30-trading
day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

The Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering,IPO, except that the Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants are not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be
non-redeemable
so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company accounted for the 8,920,313 warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public OfferingIPO (comprised of 8,625,000 Public Warrants and 295,312 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic
815-40.
Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability due to the existence of provisions whereby adjustments to the exercise price of the warrants is based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a ‘‘fixed-for-fixed’’
“fixed-for-fixed”
option and the existence of the potential for net cash settlement for the warrant holders (but not all common stockholders) in the event of a tender offer.

F-17

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record a derivative liability upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering.IPO. Accordingly, the Company classified each warrant as a liability at its fair value and the warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to its fair value determined by the Monte Carlo simulation. This liability is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date. With each such
re-measurement,
the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a
result
of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.

NOTE 9.8. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Class A Common StockThe Company was authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock are entitled to 1 vote for each share. At September 30,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 393,750 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding,, excluding 10,329,489 and 11,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption.

redemption at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

On January 7, 2022, the Company held a stockholder meeting to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from January 7, 2022 to July 7, 2022. As part of the meeting, stockholders redeemed
1,170,511
shares of the Company’s Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account. As a result, approximately
$
11,886,421
(approximately $
10.15
per share)
was removed from the Company’s trust account to pay such holders. As part of the extension meeting to extend the liquidation date to July 7, 2022, the Sponsor and eCombustible each loaned to the Company $1,032,949 to deposit into the Company’s trust account for each share of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Public Share”) that was not redeemed. The Contributions were non-interest bearing and repayable on the consummation of the Company’s business combination.
Class B Common StockThe Company was authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class B Common Stock are entitled to 1 vote for each share. At September 30,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 3,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding,, including 125,000 representative shares (“Representative Shares”), which areShares (as defined and described below.

below).

Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, except as required by law.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of a Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a
1-for-one
basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in Initial Public OfferingIPO and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Class B common stock agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an
as-converted
basis, 20% of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public OfferingIPO plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (net of the number of shares of Class A common stock redeemed in connection with a Business Combination), excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination.

Preferred Shares — The Company was authorized to issue 1,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At September 30,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 0 preferred shares issued or outstanding.

Rights

Each holder of a right will receiveone-tenth
1-tenth
(1/10) of one Class A common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of such right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon exchange of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional shares upon consummation of a Business Combination as the consideration related thereto has been included in the unit purchase price paid for by investors in the IPO. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the Class A common stock will receive in the transaction on an
as-converted
into Class A common stock basis and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert its rights in order to receive 1/10 share underlying each right (without paying additional consideration). The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).

F-18

Representative Shares

On October 10, 2020, we issued the 125,000 shares of Class B common stock to the representative for nominal consideration (the “Representative Shares”). The Company accounted for the Representative Shares as an offering cost of the IPO, with a corresponding credit to stockholders’ equity. The Company estimated the fair value of Representative Shares to be $1,100 based upon the price of the Founder Shares issued to the Sponsor. The holders of the Representative Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Representative Shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a
lock-up
for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement related to the IPO pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA’s NASD Conduct Rules. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statements related to the IPO, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statements related to the IPO except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the IPO and their bona fide officers or partners.

NOTE 10.9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are
re-measured
and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and
non-financial
assets and liabilities that are
re-measured
and reported at fair value at least annually.

18

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s derivative warrant liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30,March 31, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The Company utilizes a modified Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of the private warrants and quoted prices in active markets for the public warrants at each reporting period.

F-19

The estimated fair value of the private placement warrant liabilities is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility of select peer companies that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-freerisk- free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury
zero-coupon
yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 25, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our business combination using cash from the proceeds of the initial public offering and the sale of the private placement units, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a business combination will be successful.

Recent Developments
On January 7, 2022, the Company held a stockholder meeting to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from January 7, 2022 to July 7, 2022. As part of the meeting, stockholders redeemed 1,170,511 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account. As a result, approximately $11,886,421 (approximately $10.15 per share) was removed from the Company’s trust account to pay such holders. As part of the extension meeting to extend the liquidation date to July 7, 2022, the Sponsor and eCombustible each loaned to the Company $1,032,949 to deposit into the Company’s trust account for each share of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Public Share”) that was not redeemed. The Contributions were non-interest bearing and repayable on the consummation of the Company’s business combination.
Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the initial public offering, described below.below and identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our business combination. We expect to generate
non-operating
income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the initial public offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

F-21

For the three months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had net income of $832,353,$1,589,312, which consistsconsisted primarily of a $967,060$2,564,723 gain from change in fair value of warrant liability franchise tax expensepartially offset by $1,018,729 of $65,709, operating costs of $78,808 and $9,810 interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account.

Liquidity, and Capital Resources

and Going Concern

Until the consummation of the initial public offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of Class B common stock by the Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor.

On January 7, 2021, we consummated the initial public offering of 10,000,000 units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 360,000 private placement units at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit in a private placement to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $3,600,000.

On January 27, 2021, we sold an additional 1,500,000 units for total gross proceeds of $15,000,000 in connection with the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option. Simultaneously with the closing of the over-allotment option, we also consummated the sale of an additional 33,750 private placement units at $10.00 per private placement unit, generating additional proceeds of $337,500.

Following the initial public offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the private placement units, a total of $116,725,000 was placed in the trust account. We incurred $4,701,732 in transaction costs, including $862,500 of underwriting fees, $3,450,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $468,587 of other offering costs.

For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $681,077.$323,512. Net income of $6,048,112$1,330,562 was impacted by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $47,171,$43,318, changes in fair value of warrant liability of $6,851,993,$2,305,973, and changes in operating assets and liabilities which provided $169,975 of cash from operating activities.

$695,217.

As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had cash and marketable securities of $116,772,172$107,013,092 held in the Trust Account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account to complete our business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. We estimate our annual franchise tax obligations, based on the number of shares of our common stock currently authorized and outstanding, to be $200,000, which is the maximum amount of annual franchise taxes payable by us as a Delaware corporation per annum, which we may pay from funds from this IPO held outside of the trust account or from interest earned on the funds held in our trust account and released to us for this purpose. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. We expect the interest earned on the amount in the trust account will be sufficient to pay our income taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

On February 11, 2022, the Company paid $99,200 to the SEC as a filing fee for the filing of the Pubco Registration Statement.
On March 24, 2022, the Company paid $62,500, representing 50% of the fee required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (“HSR”) Act and the rules of the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), to the FTC, for purposes of a premerger notification and HSR filing under these rules, which is customary for business combinations and required in connection with the eCombustible Business Combination. eCombustible paid the remainder of this fee to the FTC.
As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had cash of $433,799$8,679 outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the trust account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.

[During the three months ended March 31, 2022 we received $215,000 in advances from our Sponsor to fund operations.

F-23

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the private placement units.

On November 11, 2021, the Sponsor committed to providing an aggregate of up to $1,000,000 to the Company in order to finance working capital costs of the Company (the “Working Capital Loan”). As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had borrowed $215,000 and $0, respectively, under the Working Capital Loan.
Other than as described above, the terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Additionally, we have the ability to draw on the Working Capital Loan (as defined below) from our sponsor. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds on a non-interest bring basis as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment.

The company has incurred and expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. We may need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business due to our current cash on hand including the $1 million firm commitment from our Sponsor.business. However, if our estimateestimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating aan initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public subunitsshares upon consummationcompletion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. In addition, we intend to target businesses larger than we could acquire with the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the placement units, and may as a result be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

As of November 11, 2021 we have While the company intends to complete the proposed Business Combination before July 7, 2022 there are no assurances that this will happen.

On November 27, 2020, our sponsor transferred 10,000 founder shares to our Chief Operating Officer and 5,000 to each of our two special advisors. The number of founder shares issued was determined based on the expectation that such founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares upon completion of the IPO (excluding the representative shares and the placement units and underlying securities). The per share purchase price of the founder shares was determined by dividing the amount of cash contributed to the company by the aggregate number of founder shares issued. The founder shares (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder.

Upon the IPO, our sponsor purchased an aggregate of 360,000 placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $3,600,000. The over-allotment option has been exercised in full, the amount of placement units sold was 393,750 for an aggregate purchase price of $3,937,500. Each placement unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and three-fourths of one warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one whole share of common stock at $11.50 per share. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive
one-tenth
(1/10) of one Class A common stock upon consummation of our initial business combination, so you must hold rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive shares for all of your rights upon closing of a business combination. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to the founder shares, the representative shares, the placement shares, placement warrants or the placement rights, which will expire worthless if we do not consummate a business combination by July 7, 2022. The placement units are identical to the units sold in the IPO except that (a) the placement units and their component securities will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the consummation of our initial business combination except to permitted transferees, (b) the placement warrants, so long as they are held by our sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by us, (ii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, and (iii) will be entitled to registration rights.
Our initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and placement shares (i) in connection with the consummation of a business combination, (ii) in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or certain amendments to our charter prior thereto or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by July 7, 2022 and (iii) if we fail to consummate a business combination by July 7, 2022 or if we liquidate prior to by July 7, 2022 period. However, our initial stockholders will be entitled to redemption rights with respect to any public shares held by them if we fail to consummate a business combination or liquidate by July 7, 2022. In addition, the holders of the representative shares have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination by July 7, 2022.
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on January 4, 2021, we may be required to register certain securities for sale under the Securities Act. These holders (including the holders of representative shares), and holders of units issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, are entitled under the registration rights agreement to make up to three demands that we register certain of our securities held by them for sale under the Securities Act and to have the securities covered thereby registered for resale pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

Net loss per common share
We apply the
two-class
method in calculating earnings per share. Common stock subject to possible redemption which is not currently redeemable and is not redeemable at fair value, has been excluded from the calculation of basic net loss per common share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. Our net income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to common stock subject to possible redemption, as these shares only participate in the earnings of the Trust Account and not our income or losses.
Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2020-06, "Debt—Debt
“Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic
470-20)
and Derivatives and Hedging—ContractsHedging-Contracts in Entity'sEntity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
815-40):
Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity'sEntity’s Own Equity" ("Equity” (“ASU 2020-06"
2020-06”),
which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU
2020-06
removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU
2020-06
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU
2020-06
would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC
815-15.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is
re-assessed
at the end of each reporting period. In accordance with ASC
825-10 “Financial
“Financial Instruments”, offering costs attributable to the issuance of the derivative warrant liabilities have been allocated based on their relative fair value of total proceeds and are recognized in the statement of operations as incurred.

F-27

We account for the warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we

23

classify the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to

re-measurement
at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of warrants were estimated using a Modified Monte Carlo Simulation.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable stock (including stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our shares of Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our condensed interim balance sheets.

Factors That May Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations
Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial business combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial business combination.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

F-29

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. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to the Company’s restatement of its Prior Financials to reclassify the Company’s warrants as well as the Company’s restatement of its previously issuedmaterial weakness for accounting for complex financial statements as noted in footnote 2 to reclassify the Company’s Class A common stock,instruments, 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 September 30, 2021.

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. In connection with the evaluation of the SEC Statement and management’s subsequent
re-evaluation
of its Prior Financial Statements, the Company determined that there were errors in its accounting for its warrants and redeemable shares. Management concluded that a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed relating to the accounting treatment for complex financial instruments and that the failure to properly account for such instruments constituted a material weakness. This material weakness resulted in the need to restate the Prior Financial Statements.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, with the exception of the below.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed additional accounting and financial analyses and other post-closing procedures including consulting with subject matter experts related to the accounting for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants and the restatement of the Prior Financials. The Company’s management has expended, and will continue to expend, a substantial amount of effort and resources for the remediation of the material weakness and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to properly identify and evaluate the appropriate accounting technical pronouncements and other literature for all significant or unusual transactions, we have expanded and will continue to improve these processes to ensure that the nuances of such transactions are effectively evaluated in the context of the increasingly complex accounting standards.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

None.

To the knowledge of our management team, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property, except as described below.
We recently received a subpoena from the SEC seeking various documents regarding, among other things, meetings of our Board of Directors; communications with and the evaluation of potential targets, including eCombustible; communications relating to eCombustible; agreements with certain advisors and affiliates; and documents sufficient to identify banking, telephone, and email addresses. At this time, neither Benessere, BCAC Holdings nor eCombustible appear to be a focus of the SEC’ investigation. Additionally, according to the subpoena, the existence of an investigation does not mean that the SEC has concluded that anyone violated the law or that the SEC has a negative opinion of any person, entity, or security. To the extent that we become a focus of the SEC’ investigation, any resolution of the investigation, could result in the imposition of significant penalties, or injunctions, prohibitions on the conduct of our business, damage to our reputation and other sanctions against us, including restrictions on our activities.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risks described in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021April 12, 2022 (the “Form
10-K”).
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, other than as set forth below,
there have been no material changes to the risks disclosed in the Form
10-K
filed with the SEC.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting,

In addition, we may not be ablesubject to accurately report our financial resultsthe following risk in connection with changes in laws and regulations.
Changes in laws or regulations, or a timely manner, whichfailure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business, and operating results.

After consultation with our management, our audit committee identified, in light of the prior reclassification of warrants from equity to liability, as well as the reclassification of our redeemable Class A common stock as temporary equity, a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting relating to our accounting for complex financial instruments. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. Measures to remediate material weaknesses may be time-consuming and costly and there is no assurance that such initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limitincluding our ability to preventnegotiate and complete our initial business combination and results of operations.

We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we will be required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or detectregulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a misstatementmaterial adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and results of our accountsoperations.
On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules relating to, among other items, disclosures in business combination transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) and private operating companies; the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities. These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or disclosures that could result in a material misstatementrevised form, may increase the costs of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our share price may decline. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

As a result of the material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting described above, the change in accounting for our warrants and redeemable Class A common stock, and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we may face for the prospect of litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements, any oftime needed to negotiate and complete an initial business combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which claimswe could result in adverse effects to our business. As of the date hereof, we have no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Use of Proceeds

On January 7, 2021, we consummated the initial public offering of 10,000,000 units. On January 27, 2021, in connection with the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, we sold an additional 1,500,000 units. The units sold in the initial public offering and the full exercise of over-allotment option sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Kingswood Capital Markets, division of Benchmark Investments, Inc. acted as sole book-running manager of the initial public offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-249814). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on January 4, 2021.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, we consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 360,000 units at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit, generating proceeds of $3,600,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the underwriters’ full exercise of the over-allotment option, we consummated the private placement of an additional 33,750 private placement units at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit, generating additional proceeds of $337,500. The issuances were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

None.

The private placement units are identical to the units sold in the initial public offering, except that the private placement units are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Of the gross proceeds received from the initial public offering including the over-allotment option, and the private placement units, $116,725,000 was placed in the trust account.

We paid a total of $862,500 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $297,682 for other offering costs related to the initial public offering. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $3,450,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions.

There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from the initial public offering and private placement as is described in the Company’s final prospectus related to the initial public offering.
