NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2021
(Unaudited)
On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Financeclosing its digital banking platform 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 provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in 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 ordinary shares. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s ordinary shares 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 fair value of the warrant. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded that the Company’s Private Placement Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s ordinary shares 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 shareholders’ equity” criteria as contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-25.
In accordance with ASC 825-10, as a result of the classification of the warrants as derivative liabilities, the Company expensed a portion of the offering costs originally recorded as a reduction in equity. The portion of offering costs that was expensed was determined based on the relative fair value of the Public Warrants and Class A ordinary shares included in the Units.
products. As a result of the above,termination of the Business Combination Agreement, each of the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) were terminated.
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 investments held in trust or cash.

In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the sum of all ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company).

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on December 22, 2020 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our Business Combinationbusiness combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offeringinitial public offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants,private placement warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares 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 On July 25, 2022, we entered into a Business Combination will be successful.Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, Glory Merger Subsidiary Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) and With Purpose, Inc. (d/b/a GloriFi, Inc.) a Delaware corporation (“GloriFi”). On January 26, 2023, we sent GloriFi written notice that we had terminated the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to Section 9.01(i) and Section 9.01(f) the Business Combination Agreement. Our decision to terminate the Business Combination Agreement took into account the fact that GloriFi had previously publicly announced that GloriFi was winding down its operations and closing its digital banking platform and other products.
On March 3, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Extension Meeting”) to vote on a number of proposals, including a proposal to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (i) extend the date by which we have to consummate a business combination from March 4, 2023 to December 4, 2023 (the “Combination Period”). The proposal was approved by our shareholders. In connection with the Extension Meeting, the holders of 26,298,498 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (the “Redeeming Shareholders”) properly exercised their right to redeem their Class A ordinary shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.21 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $269,585,000. This could adversely impact our ability to consummate a business combination within the Combination Period.

Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through March 31, 2021June 30, 2023 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 4, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $300,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000.
On March 5, 2021, in connection with the underwriters’ exerciseunderwriters of our initial public offering partially exercised their over-allotment option, in full,and we consummated the sale of an additional 945,072 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $9,450,720. In addition, we also consummated the sale of an additional 126,010 Private Placement Warrantsprivate placement warrants at $1.50 per Private Warrant,private warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $189,015.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants,private placement warrants, a total of $309,450,720 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $17,501,346 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $6,189,014 of underwriting fees, net of reimbursement, $10,830,775 of deferred underwriting fees and $481,557 of other costs.
For the threesix months ended March 31, 2021,June 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $954,856.$482,314. Net lossincome of $1,403,996$1,821,734 was affected by change in fair value of warrant liability of $657,641 and transaction costs allocated to warrant liabilities of $586,339.$611,607 and interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $3,294,864.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used $804,840in operating activities was $455,829. Net income of $5,599,330 was affected by change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $7,097,595 and interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $448,071. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $1,490,507 of cash for operating activities.
As of March 31, 2021,June 30, 2023, we had cash held in the Trust Account of $309,450,720.$48,590,022. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination.business combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination,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 March 3, 2023, we held the Extension Meeting to, in part, amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which we have to consummate a business combination. In connection with that vote, the Redeeming Shareholders properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $268,585,000. In connection with the extension, the trustee of the Trust Account placed the funds remaining in the Trust Account in an interest bearing cash bank account. The Trust Account does not hold any investments.
In connection with the Extension Meeting, as described in Note 1, due to a clerical error by the trustee of the Trust Account, the Redeeming Shareholders were overpaid approximately $0.03 per Class A ordinary share that was redeemed, for an aggregate total overpayment amount of $887,555 (the “Overpayment Amount”). As of June 30, 2023, the Company has collected $854,990 of the overpayment and $32,565 remains receivable. The Company is in process of collecting the remaining Overpayment Amount and currently expects to fully recover the total Overpayment Amount.
21
As of March 31, 2021,June 30, 2023, we had cash of $1,573,788.$30,294. 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.business combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we wouldwill repay such loaned amounts. 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 warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
WeIn connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASU2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until December 4, 2023, to consummate a business combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a business combination by this time. If a business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to consummate a business combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 4, 2023.
Based on the foregoing, management has determined that we do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in orderhave sufficient liquidity to meet our anticipated obligations for at least twelve months after 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 a Business Combinationfinancial statements are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operatebe issued, as such, the events and circumstances raise substantial doubt about our business priorability to continue as a going concern, as discussed further below. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that might arise as a result of uncertainties about our Business Combination. Moreover, we may needability to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeemcontinue as a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2021.June 30, 2023. 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 do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of one of our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative services. We began incurring these fees on March 4, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.
The underwriters of our initial public offer are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per unit, or $10,500,000$10,830,775 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters of our initial public offering from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination,business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Warrant LiabilityLiabilities
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued share purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815. We account for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 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 statementunaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price will be used as the fair value as of each relevant date.
22
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption, if any, are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equitydeficit section of our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income per ordinary share, basic and diluted forAccretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividingexcluded from earnings per share as the interest income earned on the Trust Account by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable ordinary shares outstanding since original issuance. Net loss per ordinary share, basic and diluted for Class B non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), less income attributable to Class A redeemable ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of Class B non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the periods presented.
Recent Accounting StandardsPronouncements
In August 2020, the FinancialFASB issued Accounting Standards BoardUpdate (“FASB”ASU”) issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. As a smaller reporting company, ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022,2024 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company adoptedis currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2021, and the adoption did not would have an impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has not adopted this guidance as of June 30, 2023.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms,forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officerChief Executive Officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriateChief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
UnderAs required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the supervisionExchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting 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.June 30, 2023. Based on thisupon their evaluation, our principal executive officerChief Executive Officer and principal financial and accounting officer haveChief Financial Officer concluded that during the period covered by this report, solely due to the Company’s restatement of its financial statements to reclassify the Company’s warrants as described in the Note 2 to the Financial Statement herein, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of March 31, 2021,due to its review and thatapproval procedures for the foregoing arose as a result of a material weakness inquarterly financial statements.
Management intends to enhance our review and approval procedures for the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that ourquarterly financial statements, were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believesincluding through enhanced analyses by our personnel and third-party professionals. 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 financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.intended effects.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter of 2021ended June 30, 2023 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 as the circumstances that led to the restatement of the financial statements had not yet been identified. However, as management has identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to the classification of the Company’s Warrants as components of equity instead of as liabilities, as well as the related determination of the fair value of warrant liabilities, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit, and related financial disclosures, the Company intends to address this material weakness by enhancing its processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate its research and understanding of the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to its financial statements. The Company’s current plans include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among its personnel and third-party professionals with whom it consults regarding complex accounting applications. The Company has also retained the services of a valuation expert to assist in valuation analysis of the Warrants on a quarterly basis.reporting.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our final prospectusAnnual Report on Form 10-K for its Initial Public Offeringthe period ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC.SEC on March 30, 2023 (our “Annual Report”). As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus for its Initial Public OfferingAnnual Report on Form 10-K and our Q1 Quarterly Report filed with the SEC except as set forth below.
We have identified a material weaknessSEC. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors disclosed in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021. IfAnnual Report and other reports we are unablefile with, or furnish to, develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
On April 12, 2021, the staff of the SEC issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “Statement”). In the Statement, the SEC staff, among other things, expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies, such as the Company, may require such warrants to be classified as liabilities on the special purpose acquisition company’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. The Company previously accounted for its outstanding warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities. See “—Our warrants are accounted for as a warrant liability and will be recorded at fair value withSEC. There have been no material changes in fair value each period reported in earnings, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A ordinary shares or may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination.” In connection with this change to our accounting methodology, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reportingrisk factors since 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. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement 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 stock price may decline as a result. 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.filings.
We may face litigation and other risks as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
As a result of such material weakness, the change in accounting for the warrants, and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we face potential for 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. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute. However, we can provide no assurance that such litigation or dispute will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or our ability to complete an initial business combination.
Our warrants are accounted for as a warrant liability and will be recorded at fair value with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A ordinary shares or may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination.
In connection with our initial public offering and the concurrent private placement of warrants, we issued an aggregate of 16,441,034 warrants (including 10,315,024 warrants included in the units and 6,126,010 private placement warrants). We account for these as a warrant liability and will record at fair value any changes in fair value each period reported in earnings as determined by us based upon a valuation report obtained from an independent third-party valuation firm. The impact of changes in fair value on earnings may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A ordinary shares. In addition, potential targets may seek a special purpose acquisition company that does not have warrants or that does not have warrants that are accounted for as a warrant liability, which may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination with a target business.
