CLIMATE REAL IMPACT SOLUTIONS II ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Climate Real Impact Solutions II Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on December 2, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).


The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.


As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from December 2, 2020 (inception) through March 31,September 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.


The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 26, 2021. On January 29, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 24,150,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,150,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $241,500,000 which is described in Note 4.  Certain members of Climate Real Impact Solutions II Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) that are affiliated with Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the “PIMCO private funds”), or one or more of their respective affiliates, purchased an aggregate of 2,079,000 Units in the Initial Public Offering at the Initial Public Offering price.


Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the sale of 4,553,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $6,830,000, which is described in Note 5.


Transaction costs amounted to $13,628,145, consisting of $4,414,200 in cash underwriting fees, $8,452,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $761,445 of other offering costs.


Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 29, 2021, an amount of $241,500,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States. The funds in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.


The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete a Business Combination with one1 or more operating businesses or assets that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with its initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires an interest in the target business or assets sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. In addition, the Company has agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial business combination without the prior consent of the PIMCO private funds (an affiliate of the Sponsor).
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per Public 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). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

CLIMATE REAL IMPACT SOLUTIONS II ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company will only proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange rules and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange rules, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 6), and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or do not vote at all.


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


The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.


The Company will have until January 29, 2023, or such later date as a result of a stockholder vote to amend the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to complete 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 not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 7) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (1) $10.00 per Public Share and (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and 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.



Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $425,223 in its operating bank account, $241,507,219 in investments held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its Class A common stock in connection therewith and working capital deficit of $898,896. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $7,219 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is available to pay the Company’s tax obligations.



In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors intend, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined below) (see Note 6). As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 0 amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

The Company may raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or its stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers and directors and the Sponsor may but are not obligated to (except as described above), loan the Company funds, from time to time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Based on the foregoing, the Company believes it will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or at least one year from the date that the financial statements were issued.
NOTE 2 — CORRECTION2. REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED BALANCE SHEETFINANCIAL STATEMENTS


In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2021, the Company concluded it should revise its financial statements to classify all Public Shares in temporary equity. In accordance with the SEC’s and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, ASC 480, paragraph 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company previously accounted for its outstanding Public Warrants (as defineddetermined the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per Class A common stock while also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in Note 4)net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Previously, the Company did not consider redeemable shares classified as temporary equity as part of net tangible assets. Effective with these financial statements, the Company revised this interpretation to include temporary equity in net tangible assets.  Accordingly, effective with this filing, the Company presents all redeemable Class A common stock as temporary equity and Private Placement Warrants (collectively, withrecognizes accretion from the Public Warrants,initial book value to redemption value at the “Warrants”) issued in connection withtime of its Initial Public Offering as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities. The warrant agreement governing the Warrants includesand in accordance with ASC 480.

As a provision that provides for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant.  In addition, the warrant agreement includesresult, management has noted a provision that in the event of a tender offer or exchange offer made to and accepted by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of a single class of stock, all holders of the Warrants would be entitled to receive cash for their Warrants (the “tender offer provision”).

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisionsreclassification adjustment related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those containedtemporary equity and permanent equity. This resulted in the warrant agreement, dated as of January 26, 2021, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”).

In further consideration of the SEC Statement, the Company’s management further evaluated the Warrants under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s common stock. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s common stock if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fairinitial carrying value of the warrant. Based on management’s evaluation,Class A common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A common stock. The Company will present this revision in a prospective manner in all future filings. Under this approach, the previously issued Initial Public Offering Balance Sheet and Form 10-Q’s will not be amended, but historical amounts presented in the current and future filings will be recast to be consistent with the current presentation, and an explanatory footnote will be provided.

In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A common stock subject to redemption, the Company also revised its income (loss) per share of common stock calculation to allocate net income (loss) evenly to Class A and Class B common stock. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of common stock share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company.

There has been no change in the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded thattotal assets, liabilities or operating results.

The impact of the revision on the Company’s Private Placement Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common stockfinancial statements is reflected in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares.  In addition, based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded that the tender offer provision fails the “classified in stockholders’ equity” criteria as contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-25.following table.

As a result of the above, the Company should have classified the Warrants as derivative liabilities in its previously issued balance sheet as of January 26, 2021. Under this accounting treatment, the Company is required to measure the fair value of the Warrants at the end of each reporting period (including on January 26, 2021 and March 31, 2021) and recognize changes in the fair value from the prior period in the Company’s operating results for the current period.

The Company’s accounting for the Warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities did not have any effect on the Company’s previously reported operating expenses, cash flows or cash as none of these measures have been reported by the Company at a time when the Warrants were issued and outstanding.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
 

The interim results for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim period. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's prospectus for its initial public offering, filed with the SEC on January 27, 2021, as well as the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on February 4, 2021.


Emerging Growth Company
  

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


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

Use of Estimates
 

The preparation of 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 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 financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly,One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities (as described in Note 10). Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not0t have any cash equivalents as of March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.


Offering Costs

Deferred offering

Offering costs consistconsisted of legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet dateInitial Public Offering that arewere directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred in the statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock issued were initially charged to temporary equity and then accreted to common stock subject to redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $13,006,039$13,628,145 were charged to stockholders’temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Transaction costs related to derivative liability incurred through the balance sheetsheets date and directly related to the Initial Public Offering amounting to $622,106, were charged to operations upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.


Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
 

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A 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 Class A 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, shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheet.sheets.



The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book 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, the Class A common stock reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Warrant Liability
 

The Company accounts for its issued and outstanding warrants (such warrants, as described in Note 9, the “Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D and 7F under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts 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 the statementstatements of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in the IPOInitial Public Offering has been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation methodology as of the date of the IPOInitial Public Offering and the Public Warrants’ quoted market price at March 31,September 30, 2021. The Private Placement Warrants were valued using a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing Model.

Income Taxes



The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” 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.


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 no0 unrecognized tax benefits and no0 amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of MarchSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021.2020. 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 Share of Common ShareStock



The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per common sharestock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding duringfor the period. The Company hasapplies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk


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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments



The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximatesapproximate the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheet,sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputsnature, other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
the warrant liabilities (see Note 10).
 
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the condensed 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.

Recent Accounting Standards


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

The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, no0 Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Risks and Uncertainties

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

Pursuant to a registration and stockholder rights agreement entered into on January 26, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to shares of Class A common stock). Any holder of at least 20% of the outstanding registrable securities owned by the holders are entitled to make up to two2 demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear certain expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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:
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



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 an assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

At March 31,September 30, 2021, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $241,500,000$241,507,219 in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury Securities. Through March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account to pay for its franchise and income tax obligations.


The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31,September 30, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities liability on the condensed balance sheet.sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the statementstatements of operations.

 

The Private Warrants were initially valued using a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Modified Black Scholes model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility as of the IPOInitial Public Offering date (10%) was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. The expected volatility as of subsequent valuation dates was implied from the Company’s own public warrant pricing. A Monte Carlo simulation methodology was used in estimating the fair value of the public warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available, using the same expected volatility as was used in measuring the fair value of the Private Warrants. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the warrants from the Units, the close price of the public warrant price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

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

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The Company’s securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 2, 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 IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

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

Results of Operations

We classify the warrants issued in connection with our IPO and concurrent private placement as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrant liability 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.

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from January 1, 2021 through March 31,September 30, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to identify a target company for a business combination, as described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the IPO. 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.


For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $2,285,294, which consists of operating costs of $1,102,893, offset by interest income from bank of $12, interest earned on investments held in Trust Account of $3,710, and a non-cash change in fair value of derivative liability of $3,384,465.

For the period from January 1, 2021 through March 31,nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of $5,779,836,$4,235,582, which consists of operating costs of $541,979 and$2,577,305, transaction costs related to warrant issuance of $4,082,369,$622,106, offset by a non-cash change in fair value of derivative liability of $10,404,433 and$7,427,721, interest income from bank of $21.$53 and interest earned on investments held in Trust Account of $7,219.

As noted in Note 2 to the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2021, the Company concluded it should revise its financial statements to present all redeemable Class A common stock as temporary equity and recognize accretion from the initial book value to redemption value at the time of its initial public offering. In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A common stock subject to redemption, the Company also revised its income (loss) per common share calculation to allocate net income (loss) evenly to Class A and Class B common stock. There has been no change in the Company’s total assets, liabilities or operating results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On January 29, 2021, we consummated the IPO of 24,150,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,150,000 units, generating gross proceeds of $241.5 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of 4,553,333 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant in a private placement to our stockholders, generating gross proceeds of $6.83 million.

Following the IPO, the full exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters and the sale of the private placement warrants, a total of $241.5 million was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $13.6 million in transaction costs, including $4.4 million of underwriting fees, $8.45 million of deferred underwriting fees and $0.8 million of other offering costs.

For the period from January 1, 2021 through March 31,nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $742,494$1,254,133 comprised of net income of $5,779,836$4,235,582 and non-cash costschanges in fair value of warrant liabilities of $7,427,721, interest earned on investments held in Trust Account of $7,219, transaction cost related to warrant issuance of $4,082,369, as offset by a non-cash change in warrant liability of $10,404,433,$622,106, and the changes in operating assets and liabilities of $201,536.$1,323,119.

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we had cash and investments held in the Trust Account of approximately $241.5 million. 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 initial business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust 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.

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we had approximately $0.9$0.4 million of cash held 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 an initial business combination.

The Sponsor, or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, extend us working capital loans as may be required in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination. If we complete an initial business combination, we would repay the working capital loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. Otherwise, the working capital loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that an initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans. The working capital loans would either be repaid upon consummation of an initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $2.0 million of such working capital loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such working capital loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target 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 because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the consummate of our initial business combination. If we are unable to consummate 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.


Related Party Transactions

Payments to an Affiliate

Commencing as of February 2021, we have been and will continue to make payments of approximately $60,000$70,000 per month on an annualized basis to Climate Real Impact Solutions Services LLC, an entity owned by John Cavalier, our Chief Financial Officer, and David Crane, our Chief Executive Officer, and managed by Ms. Frank-Shapiro, our Chief Operating Officer, for consulting services rendered to us. Messrs. Cavalier and Crane also receive health insurance benefits from Climate Real Impact Solutions Services LLC. Upon completion of the proposed business combination, it is expected that we would cease to make any further payments.

Promissory Note

On December 11, 2020, we issued the promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which we borrowed $250,000 from the Sponsor in order to pay certain transaction expenses associated with our initial public offering. The promissory note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of June 30, 2021 or the consummation of the our initial public offering. Upon completion of the initial public offering on January 29, 2021, we repaid the promissory note in full. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the outstanding balance under the promissory note was $0.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31,September 30, 2021. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as “variable interest entities,” which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We did not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as described below.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per unit, or approximately $8.45 million in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we consummate an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

We entered into various consulting arrangements with several service providers for administrative services and potential target financial analysis and due diligence services to us. These arrangements provide for aggregate monthly fees of approximately $50.0 thousand.$70,000.

Critical Accounting Policies

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


Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

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

Warrant Liability

We account for the warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D and 7F under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we 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 the warrants issued in the initial public offering has been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation methodology as of the date of the initial public offering and such warrants’ quoted market priceprices as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021. The private placement warrants were valued using a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing Model.

Net Income (Loss) per share of Common ShareStock

We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share.     Net income (loss) per common share basic and diluted for Class A redeemableof common stock is calculatedcomputed by dividing the interestnet income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise and income taxes,(loss) by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable common stock outstanding for the period. NetThe Company applies the two-class method in calculating net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted forshare. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class B non-redeemableA common stock is calculated by dividingexcluded from earnings per share as the net income, less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period presented.redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards

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

Item 3Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskRisk.

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the Trust Account, have been invested in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

Item 4Controls and ProceduresProcedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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
 
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that informationAs required to be disclosed in our reports filedby Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarizedour Chief Executive Officer and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conductedChief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.September 30, 2021. Based on thisupon their evaluation, our principal executive officerChief Executive Officer and principal financial officer haveChief Financial Officer concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2021 due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting with respect to the classification of our issued and outstanding warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors(as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and all instances15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

Changes in Internal Control overOver Financial Reporting
 
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ofended September 30, 2021 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.reporting, other than the remediation of the material weakness discussed below, which was remediated during the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
 
On May 23, 2021, we revised our prior position on accounting for our warrants and concluded that becauseRemediation of a misapplicationMaterial weakness in the guidance on warrant accounting, we had been incorrectly accounting for our warrants as a component of equity instead of as a liability.Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
We recognize the importance of the control environment as it sets the overall tone for the Company and is the foundation for all other components of internal control. Consequently, we designed and implemented remediation measures to address the material weakness previously identified and enhance our internal control over financial reporting. In light of our identifying the accounting error described in the prior paragraph,material weakness, we plan to enhanceenhanced 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Our plans at this time includestatements, including providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elementsforegoing actions, which we believe remediated the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, were completed as 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.date of June 30, 2021.

Item 1A
Risk Factors.

In addition to the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should also carefully review and consider the risk factors contained in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on January 27, 2021. These factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report. The risk factors discussed in that prospectus do not identify all risks that we face because our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus filed with the SEC.prospectus.

The warrants are being accounted for as a warrant liability and are being recorded at fair value upon issuance with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Class A common stock.
As described in our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, we are accounting for our issued and outstanding warrants as a warrant liability and is recording that liability at fair value upon issuance and is recording any subsequent changes in fair value as of the end of each period for which earnings are reported. The impact of changes in fair value on earnings may have an adverse effect on our balance sheet and statement of operations or the market price of the Class A common stock.
We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness could continue to adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our management will likewise be required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes and material weaknesses identified through such evaluation in those internal controls. 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 on a timely basis.
On April 12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued a Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “SEC Staff Statement”). The SEC Staff Statement addresses certain accounting and reporting considerations related to warrants of a kind similar to those issued by us. In light of the SEC Staff Statement, on May 23, 2021, we revised our prior position on accounting for our warrants and concluded that because of a misapplication in the guidance on warrant accounting, we had been incorrectly accounting for our warrants as a component of equity instead of as a liability.
As discussed in further detail in Note 2 to our financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, the correction relates to consideration of the factors in determining whether to classify contracts that may be settled in an entity’s own stock as equity of the entity or as an asset or liability in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. Prior to May 23, 2021, we classified the warrants as equity instruments. Upon further consideration of the rules and guidance as well as the SEC Staff Statement, management concluded that the warrants are precluded from equity classification. As a result, the warrants should be recorded as liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations.
On May 23, 2021, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2021 due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting with respect to the classification of the warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities. This material weakness resulted in a misstatement of our warrant liabilities, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, additional paid-in capital, accumulated deficit and related financial disclosures.
To respond to this material weakness, we have devoted, and plan to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance these processes to better evaluate our research and understanding of the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. We plan to provide enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. For a discussion of management’s consideration of the material weakness identified related to our accounting for a significant and unusual transaction related to the warrants, see “Note 2—Correction of Previously Issued Balance Sheet” to the financial statements of included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Any failure to maintain such internal control could adversely impact our ability to report our financial position and results from operations on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our Class A common stock is listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. In either case, there could result a material adverse effect on our business. Failure to timely file may impair our ability to obtain capital in a timely fashion to execute our business strategies. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our Class A common stock.
We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.
Item 2
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.
On January 29, 2021, we consummated the initial public offering of 24,150,000 units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,150,000. The units sold in the initial public offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $241,500,000. Barclays Capital Inc. and BofA Securities, Inc. acted as joint book-running managers. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-251983). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on January 26, 2021.
Simultaneous with the consummation of the initial public offering and the closing of the over-allotment option, we consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 4,553,333 warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants”), generating gross proceeds of $6,830,000. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the units sold in the initial public offering, except that, if held by  Climate Real Impact Solutions II Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants (i) are not subject to being called for redemption under certain redemption scenarios (except in certain redemption scenarios when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 (as adjusted)), (ii) subject to certain limited exceptions, will be subject to transfer restrictions until 30 days following the consummation of our initial business combination, (iii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis and (iv) will be entitled to registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us under all redemption scenarios and exercisable by holders on the same basis as the warrants underlying the units sold in the initial public offering. The Private Placement Warrants have been issued pursuant to, and are governed by, the warrant agreement, dated January 26, 2021, between us and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent.
Of the gross proceeds received from the initial public offering, the closing of the over-allotment option and the Private Placement Warrants, $241,500,000 was placed in the trust account.
We paid a total of $4,414,200 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $761,445 for other offering costs related to the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $8,452,500 in underwriting discounts and commissions.
