Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business
Operations
Brookline Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated in Delaware and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). Although theThe Company has not yet identified aApexigen Inc. (“Apexigen) as its Business Combination target and may pursuetarget. Apexigen is an initial Business Combination target in any business or industry, the Company intends to focus its sear
c
h on companies in theemerging growth life sciences industry.company focused on discovering and developing innovative therapeutic antibodies against cancer.
As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from May 27, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and identifying a target Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate
non-operating
income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s Sponsor is Brookline Capital Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), an affiliate of Brookline Capital Markets, a division of Arcadia Securities, LLC (“Brookline”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 28, 2021. On February 2, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 5,750,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), including 750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $57.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $1.3 million.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated a private placement (“Private Placement”) of 247,000 private placement units (each, a “Private Placement Unit” and collectively, the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per unit to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of approximately $2.5 million (Note 4).
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, approximately $58.1 million ($10.10 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) in the United States maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, and will be invested only in U.S “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule
2a-7
promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time the Company signs a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
The Company will provide the holders of 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, solely in its discretion. 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 anticipated to be $10.10 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). In such case,These Public Shares were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the Business Combination is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote

for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with the Business Combination, the holders of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4) prior to this Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of the Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Stockholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. The Company has agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial Business Combination without the prior consent of the Sponsor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provide
s
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 shares of common stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Company’s Sponsor, executive officers, directors and director nominees agreed not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of its Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
If
In the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended), if a Business Combination
has not been consummated within 15
16
months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or May 
June 2, 2022, or thereafter on a monthly basis up to November
2, 2022 (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 taxes (less up to $100,000 $
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), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable
law. On April 26, 2022, at the special meeting of stockholder to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Extension Amendment”), stockholders elected to redeem 688,408 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 12% of the shares that were part of the units that were sold in the Company’s initial public offering. Following such redemptions, approximately $51.1 million remain in the trust account and 6,746,092 shares of Common Stock will remain issued and outstanding.
In connection with the Extension Amendment, the Sponsor, or its designees, has agreed to contribute to us as a loan of $0.033 for each public share that is not redeemed for each subsequent calendar month commencing on May 2, 2022, and on the 2nd day of each subsequent month, or portion thereof, that is needed by the Company to complete an initial Business Combination from May 2, 2022 until the end of the Combination Period (the “Additional Contributions”). The amount of the Additional Contributions will not bear interest and will be repayable by us to our Sponsor or its designees upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Our Sponsor or its designees will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Extended Date and if our Sponsor determines not to continue extending for additional calendar months, its obligation to make Additional Contributions will terminate.
On May 2, 2022, the Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) in the principal amount of $167,032.54 to our Sponsor. The Sponsor deposited such funds into the Trust Account. Also on May 2, 2022, the Company issued an additional convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Working Capital Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $424,770.00 to the Sponsor. The Working Capital Note was issued to provide the Company with additional working capital during the extended period during which the Company must complete its initial business combination, and will not be deposited into the Trust Account. The Company issued the Working Capital Note in consideration for a loan from the Sponsor to fund the Company’s working capital requirements. The Working Capital Note is convertible at the Sponsor’s election upon the consummation of our initial business combination. Upon such election, the Working Capital Note will convert, at a price of $10.00 per unit, into units identical to the private placement units issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.

The Initial Stockholders agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.10 per share initially held in the Trust Account.
The Company will seek to have all third parties and any prospective target businesses enter into valid and enforceable agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account. Nevertheless, there is no guarantee that vendors, service providers and prospective target businesses will execute such agreements. The Sponsor agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $10.10 per Public Share, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a valid and enforceable agreement with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy its indemnification obligations. Moreover, the Sponsor will not be liable to the Public Stockholders and instead will only have liability to the Company.

non-cash
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction), and (ii) the Regular Purchase Share Limit shall be increased to up to one million dollars ($1,000,000) of Common Stock if the closing price of the Common Stock on Nasdaq is not below $12.50 on the date of purchase. The Post-Combination Company may direct Lincoln Park to make such purchases as often as every business day so long as (x) the closing price of the Common Stock is not less than $3.00 (as adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization,
non-cash
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction, in which case the price shall mean the lower of such price and $3.00), and (y) the Post-Combination Company has not failed to deliver freely tradeable shares of Common Stock for all other purchases under the Purchase Agreement.

The “Accelerated Purchase Share Amount” means the number of shares of Common Stock not exceeding the lesser of (a) 300% of the number of shares of Common Stock directed by the Post-Combination Company to be purchased by Lincoln Park pursuant to the corresponding Regular Purchase Notice for the corresponding Regular Purchase, and (b) an amount equal to (x) 30% multiplied by (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock traded on Nasdaq during the period on the applicable purchase date beginning at the time on the date of such purchase that trading of such shares commences and ending at the time at which the sale price for such shares of Common Stock has fallen below any minimum share price threshold set forth in the purchase notice provided by the Post-Combination Company.

Beginning one business day after consummation of the Merger, in addition to Regular Purchases and Accelerated Purchases, the Company shall also have the right, but not the obligation, to direct Lincoln Park to purchase additional shares of Common Stock (an “Additional Accelerated Purchase”) in an amount equal to the Additional Accelerated Purchase Share Amount (as hereinafter defined) at a price equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the lower of (i) the VWAP for the period on the applicable date of purchase beginning (the “Additional Accelerated Purchase Commencement Time”) at the latest of (A) the time at which the sale price for any corresponding Accelerated Purchase has fallen below any minimum share price threshold set forth in the purchase notice provided by the Post-Combination Company for such Acceleration Purchase, (B) the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase Termination Time with respect to the most recently completed prior Additional Accelerated Purchase on such date, as applicable, and (C) the time at which all shares of Common Stock subject to any prior Accelerated Purchases and Additional Accelerated Purchases (including those effected on the same business day) have been received by Lincoln Park and are freely tradeable, and ending (the “Additional Accelerated Purchase Termination Time”) on the earliest of (X) 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on such date or such other time publicly announced by Nasdaq as the official close of trading on such date, (Y) such time that the total number (or volume) of shares of Common Stock traded on Nasdaq has exceeded the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of shares to be purchased pursuant to the applicable request by the Post-Combination Company hereunder divided by 30%, and (Z) such time that the sale price for the Common Stock on Nasdaq has fallen below any minimum share price threshold set forth in the applicable purchase notice provided by the Company. The “Additional Accelerated Purchase Share Amount” means the number of shares of Common Stock directed by the Company to be purchased by Lincoln Park under this paragraph which shall not exceed the lesser of (1) 300% of the number of shares of Common Stock directed by the Post-Combination Company to be purchased by Lincoln Park as a Regular Purchase on such date, and (2) an amount equal to 30% multiplied by the total number of shares of Common Stock traded on Nasdaq during the period on such date beginning at the Additional Accelerated Purchase Commencement Time for such Additional Accelerated Purchase and ending at the Additional Accelerated Purchase Termination Time for such Additional Accelerated Purchase.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Purchase Agreement, Lincoln Park shall not be required to purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement which would, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Lincoln Park and its affiliates, result in the beneficial ownership by Lincoln Park and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Post-Combination Company is required to issue to Lincoln Park, on the date of the Closing, 150,000 shares of Common Stock, and on the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing, $1,500,000 of shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the arithmetic average of the closing sale price for the Common Stock on Nasdaq during the ten (10) consecutive business days immediately preceding the issuance of such shares; provided, that in no event shall the amount of such shares exceed 500,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.6, within thirty (30) days of the Closing, the Post-Combination Company shall file with the SEC a new registration statement covering the resale of any shares of Common Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by Lincoln Park under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
The proceeds received by the Post-Combination Company from Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement may be used for any corporate purpose at the sole discretion of the Post-Combination Company. The Post-Combination Company is further prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Post-Combination Company or any of its subsidiaries of Common Stock involving an equity line of credit or substantially similar transaction whereby an investor is irrevocably bound to purchase securities over a period of time from the Post-Combination Company at a price based on the market price of the Common Stock at the time of purchase. The Purchase Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date that the Post-Combination Company sells shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park in an aggregate amount of $50,000,000, or if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated or the Merger is not consummated by the Outside Date. The Purchase Agreement may also be terminated in certain circumstances, including in connection with a bankruptcy filing by the Post-Combination Company or at any time in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meetafter the Company’s working capital needs.

Our Sponsor or its designees will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Extended Date and if our Sponsor determines not to continue extending for additional calendar months, its obligation to make Additional Contributions will terminate.
On May 2, 2022, the Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) in the principal amount of $167,032.54 to our Sponsor. The Sponsor deposited such funds into the Trust Account. Also on May 2, 2022, the Company issued an additional convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Working Capital Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $424,770.00 to the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” and Staff Accounting Bulletin 99, “Materiality”) (“SAB 99”)Sponsor.

Upon such election, the Working Capital Note will convert, at a price of $10.00 per unit, into units identical to the private placement units issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.
Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses.

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.

non-emerging
growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for the 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 for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs 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
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.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including shares of common stock 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 the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock featuresPublic Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 5,263,7435,750,000 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption at the redemption amount were presented at their redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed
consolidated
balance sheets.

costs and are not currently deductible. The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”)., which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $59,000 with a full valuation allowance against them.

The Company’s unaudited condensed statements of operations includesanti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a presentation of income (loss)result, diluted net loss per commonshare is the same as basic net loss per share for Public Shares ofthe three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Remeasurement associated with the common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar tois excluded from earnings per share as the
two-class
method of income (loss) per common share. Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted, for Public Shares subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of net gain on investments held by the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of Public Shares of common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.value approximates fair value.
Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted, for
non-redeemable
common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), adjusted for the net gain on investments held in the Trust Account attributable to Public Shares of common stock subject to possible redemption, by the weighted average number of
non-redeemable
shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
Non-redeemable
common stock includes Founder Shares and

Recent Accounting StandardsPronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (the “ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company early adopted the ASU on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company’s managementManagement does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanyingCompany’s condensed
consolidated
financial statements.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
On February 2, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 5,750,000 Units, including 750,000 Over-Allotment Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $57.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $1.3 million.
Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and
one-half
of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7)6). No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless a holder purchases at least two Units, a holder will not be able to receive or trade a whole Public Warrant.
Note 4 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
In May 2020, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 on behalf of the Company to cover certain offering costs in exchange for the issuance of 1,437,500 shares of common stock (the “Founder Shares”) to the Sponsor. In July 2020, the Sponsor forfeited 57,500 Founder Shares for no consideration, and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., the representative of the underwriters (“Ladenburg”), and certain of its employees purchased an aggregate of 57,500 shares of common stock (the “Representative Shares”) at an average purchase price of approximately $0.017 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $977.50. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the Representative Shares to be approximately $288,000 on the date of transfer. The difference in the issuance date estimated fair value of the Representative Shares, compared to the aggregate purchase price, was determined to be an offering cost of the Company in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Accordingly, the offering cost was 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 related to the Representative Shares amounted to approximately $287,000, of which approximately $269,000 was charged to the initial carrying value of temporary equity related to the common stock subject to redemption and approximately $18,000 was charged to additional
paid-in
capital related to the Public Warrants.
17

The Sponsor and Ladenburg agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 180,000 Founder Shares and 7,500 Representative Shares, respectively, on a pro rata basis, to the extent that the option to purchase additional units was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares and the Representative Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (excluding the Private Placement Units and underlying securities). On February 2, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option; thus, these 187,500 shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.
The Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign or sell 50% of their Founder Shares until the earlier of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the closing price of the Company’s shares of common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any
30-trading
day period commencing after the initial Business Combination, and the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares may not be transferred, assigned or sold until six months after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to the initial Business Combination, the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Private Placement Units
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 247,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per unit to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of approximately $2.5 million.
Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of common stock and
one-half
of one redeemable warrant (“Private Placement Warrant”). Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per full share. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire.
The Private Placement Units and their component securities and the Founder Shares held by Ladenburg will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the consummation of the initial Business Combination except to permitted transferees.

Related Party Loans
On May 27, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note, which was later amended on January 4, 2021 (the “Note”). The Note was
non-interest
bearing, unsecured and was due upon the date the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed approximately $116,000 under the Note and fully repaid the Note on
February 2, 2021.
In connection with the Extension Amendment, the Sponsor, or its designees, has agreed to contribute to us as a loan of $0.033 for each public share that is not redeemed for each subsequent calendar month commencing on May 2, 2022, and on the 2nd day of each subsequent month, or portion thereof, that is needed by the Company to complete an initial Business Combination from May 2, 2022 until the end of the Combination Period (the “Additional Contributions”). The amount of the Additional Contributions will not bear interest and will be repayable by us to our Sponsor or its designees upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Our Sponsor or its designees will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Extended Date and if our Sponsor determines not to continue extending for additional calendar months, its obligation to make Additional Contributions will terminate.
On May 2, 2022, the Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) in the principal amount of $167,032.54 to our Sponsor. The Sponsor deposited such funds into the Trust Account. Also on May 2, 2022, the Company issued an additional convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Working Capital Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $424,770.00 to the Sponsor. The Working Capital Note was issued to provide the Company with additional working capital during the extended period during which the Company must complete its initial business combination, and will not be deposited into the Trust Account. The Company issued the Working Capital Note in consideration for a loan from the Sponsor to fund the Company’s working capital requirements. The Working Capital Note is convertible at the Sponsor’s election upon the consummation of our initial business combination. Upon such election, the Working Capital Note will convert, at a price of $10.00 per unit, into units identical to the private placement units issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Initial Stockholders may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion (the “Working Capital Loans”). Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes will either be paid upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of the notes may be converted upon consummation of the Business Combination into additional Private Placement Units at a conversion price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the loans will not be repaid. As of June 30,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
Administrative Support Agreement
Commencing on the effective date of the Company’s prospectus, the Company agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. The Company incurred $30,000 and $50,000$20,000 in general and administrative expensesexpenses-related party in the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated
statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies
Registration and Stockholder Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Representative Shares, Private Placement Units and units that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and in each case holders of their component securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. These holders are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company registered such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company. However, the holders of the Representative Shares may not exercise demand and “piggyback” registration rights after five (5) and seven (7) years, respectively, after the effective date of the Company’s initial registration statement was declared effective and may not exercise demand rights on more than one occasion. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a
45-day
option from the date of the prospectus filed in the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 750,000 additional Units at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 2, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option.

BROOKLINE CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORP.Purchase Agreement
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAs described in Note 1, in consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Post-Combination Company is required to issue to Lincoln Park, on the date of the Closing, 150,000 shares of Common Stock, and on the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing, $1,500,000 of shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the arithmetic average of the closing sale price for the Common Stock on Nasdaq during the ten (10) consecutive business days immediately preceding the issuance of such shares; provided, that in no event shall the amount of such shares exceed 500,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.6, within thirty (30) days of the Closing, the Post-Combination Company shall file with the SEC a new registration statement covering the resale of any shares of Common Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by Lincoln Park under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
NoteNOTE 6 — Warrants
Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination; provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances). However, the Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of common stock until the Public Warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrantholders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless
basis.

Table of Contents
The Public Warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per full share and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the Public Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
 
in whole and not in part;
 
at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;
 
upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption given after the Public Warrants become exercisable; and
 
if, and only if, the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a
30-trading
day period commencing once the Public Warrants become exercisable and ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrantholders.
if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such Public Warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire
30-day
trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption as described above, the Company’s management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.”
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that none of the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees.

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

Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any other subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
On April 26, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that extends the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination transaction from May 2, 2022 (the date which is 15 months from the closing date of the Company’s initial public offering of units) on a monthly basis up to November 2, 2022. The certificate of amendment was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and has an effective date of April 26, 2022. In connection with the extension, stockholders elected to redeem 688,408 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 12% of the shares that were part of the units that were sold in the Company’s initial public offering. Following such redemptions, approximately $51.1 million remain in the trust account and 6,746,092 shares of Common Stock will remain issued and outstanding.
In connection with this extension, the Sponsor, or its designees, has agreed to contribute to us as a loan of $0.033 for each public share that is not redeemed for each subsequent calendar month commencing on May 2, 2022, and on the 2nd day of each subsequent month, or portion thereof, that is needed by the Company to complete an initial Business Combination from May 2, 2022 until the Extended Date (the “Additional Contributions”). The amount of the Additional Contributions will not bear interest and will be repayable by us to our Sponsor or its designees upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Our Sponsor or its designees will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Extended Date and if our Sponsor determines not to continue extending for additional calendar months, its obligation to make Additional Contributions will terminate.

On May 2, 2022, the Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) in the principal amount of $
167,033
to our Sponsor. The Sponsor deposited such funds into the Trust Account. Also on May 2, 2022, the Company issued an additional convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Working Capital Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $424,770 to the Sponsor. The Working Capital Note was issued to provide the Company with additional working capital during the extended period during which the Company must complete its initial business combination, and will not be deposited into the Trust Account. The Company issued the Working Capital Note in consideration for a loan from the Sponsor to fund the Company’s working capital requirements. The Working Capital Note is convertible at the Sponsor’s election upon the consummation of our initial business combination. Upon such election, the Working Capital Note will convert, at a price of $10.00 per unit, into units identical to
the
private placement units issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on May 27, 2020. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. We have identified Apexigen as our initial business combination target, and expect to schedule a special meeting of stockholders to approve the business combination later this year. Upon consummation of the business combination with Apexigen, we expect to change our name and be known as Apexigen Inc.
Our Sponsor is Brookline Capital Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), an affiliate of Brookline Capital Markets, a division of Arcadia Securities, LLC (“Brookline”). The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 28, 2021. On February 2, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 5,750,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), including 750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $57.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $1.3 million.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 247,000 private placement units (each, a “Private Placement Unit” and collectively, the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per unit to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of approximately $2.5 million (Note 4).
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, approximately $58.1 million ($10.10 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) in the United States maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, and will be invested only in U.S “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule
2a-7
promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. Our initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time we sign a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, we will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

On March 17, 2022, the Company and Apexigen entered into the BCA pursuant to which the Company and Apexigen would combine, with the former equityholders of both entities holding equity in the Surviving Company and with Apexigen’s existing equityholders owning a majority of the equity in the Surviving Company. It is expected that there will be a substantial rollover of equity by the existing equityholders of Apexigen. Under the BCA, the transaction values Apexigen at $205.0 million on a
net-equity
basis, net of exercise proceeds for Apexigen’s
pre-closing
options and warrants. As a result of the transaction, the combined company is expected to receive approximately $73.1 million in gross proceeds funded by approximately $58.1 million in cash held in the Company’s trust account (assuming no shareholders exercise their redemption rights at closing) and $15.0 million from a fully committed PIPE consisting of units of shares and half a warrant for one share being sold at $10.00 per unit. The PIPE includes participation from healthcare institutional and individual investors. In addition, concurrent with the execution of the BCA, the Company, Apexigen and Lincoln Park have entered into a committed investment agreement under which the Surviving Company would have the right to direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to an aggregate of $50 million of common stock of the Surviving Company over a
24-month
period. For more information regarding the BCA and related transactions, see Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Form
8-K
filed by the Company with the SEC on March 18, 2022.
The completion of the proposed Business Combination with Apexigen is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the BCA, including (i) completion of any required stock exchange and regulatory review, (ii) approval of the transaction by the Company’s and Apexigen’s stockholders and (iii) receipt by Apexigen of any required third-party approvals. Accordingly, no assurances can be made that the proposed transaction will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated, or at all. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to provide the Company more time to complete a Business Combination and to consummate a Business Combination. The Company intends to hold another stockholder meeting prior to the Extended Date in order to seek stockholder approval of a potential Business Combination.
If we are unable to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purposes 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 any interest earned on the Trust Account not previously released to us to pay its tax obligations and 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), subject to applicable law, and; (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our 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 our warrants, which will expire if we fail to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The Company’s IPO prospectus and charter provided that the Company initially had until May 2, 2022 (the date which was 15 months after the consummation of the IPO) to complete a Business Combination. The Board currently believes that there will not be sufficient time before May 2, 2022, to complete a Business Combination. On April 26, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s charter to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from May 2, 2022 (the date which is 15 months from the closing date of the IPO on a monthly basis up to November 2, 2022 (the date which is 21 months from the closing date of the IPO) (such period, the “Combination Period”). In connection with the extension, stockholders elected to redeem 688,408 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 12% of the shares that were part of the units that were sold in the Company’s initial public offering. Following such redemptions, approximately $51.1 million remain in the trust account and 6,746,092 shares of Common Stock will remain issued and outstanding.
Also in connection with this extension, the Sponsor, or its designees, has agreed to contribute to us as a loan of $0.033 for each public share that is not redeemed for each subsequent calendar month commencing on May 2, 2022, and on the 2nd day of each subsequent month, or portion thereof, that is needed by the Company to complete an initial Business Combination from May 2, 2022 until the Extended Date (the “Additional Contributions”). The amount of the Additional Contributions will not bear interest and will be repayable by us to our Sponsor or its designees upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Our Sponsor or its designees will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Extended Date and if our Sponsor determines not to continue extending for additional calendar months, its obligation to make Additional Contributions will terminate.
On May 2, 2022, the Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) in the principal amount of $167,032.54 to our Sponsor. The Sponsor deposited such funds into the Trust Account. Also on May 2, 2022, the Company issued an additional convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Working Capital Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $424,770.00 to the Sponsor. The Working Capital Note was issued to provide the Company with additional working capital during the extended period during which the Company must complete its initial business combination, and will not be deposited into the Trust Account. The Company issued the Working Capital Note in consideration for a loan from the Sponsor to fund the Company’s working capital requirements. The Working Capital Note is convertible at the Sponsor’s election upon the consummation of our initial business combination. Upon such election, the Working Capital Note will convert, at a price of $10.00 per unit, into units identical to the private placement units issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.
Liquidity and Capital ResourcesGoing Concern
As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had approximately $352,000$93,000 in our operating bank account and a working capital deficit of approximately $402,000. The balance of the cash proceeds generated from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement was transferred$2.3 million (not taking into account approximately $102,000 in tax obligations that may be paid using investment income earned in the Trust Account.Account).

Our liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from theour Sponsor to pay for certain offering costs in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4)1,437,500 shares of common stock (the “Founder Shares”), thea loan under the Note of approximately $116,000 (as defined in Note 4)under a promissory note from our Sponsor (the “Note”), and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. We fully repaid the Note on February 2, 2021. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, our officers, directors and initial stockholders may, but are not obligated to, provide us Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 4).Loans. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
Until the consummation of a Business Combination, we will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. We will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from our Sponsor, shareholders,stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. Our officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet our working capital needs. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses.
We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate, Mayup to November 2, 2022. TheseThe accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of our operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In February 2022, the Russian Federation commenced a military action against Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation, Belarus and other territories and individuals. Further, the impact of this military action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements and the specific impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Registration and Stockholder Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Representative Shares, Private Placement Units and units that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and in each case holders of their component securities, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. These holders are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company registered such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by us. However, the holders of the Representative Shares may not exercise demand and “piggyback” registration rights after five (5) and seven (7) years after the effective date of the registration statement for our Initial Public Offering and may not exercise demand rights on more than one occasion. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

45-day
option from the date of the final prospectus included in the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 750,000 additional Units at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 2, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option.
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.15 per unit, or $862,500 in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

Purchase Agreement
In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Post-Combination Company is required to issue to Lincoln Park, on the date of the Closing, 150,000 shares of Common Stock, and on the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing, $1,500,000 of shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the arithmetic average of the closing sale price for the Common Stock on Nasdaq during the ten (10) consecutive business days immediately preceding the issuance of such shares; provided, that in no event shall the amount of such shares exceed 500,000.

Common stock subject to possible redemption
We account for our common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). Shares of common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Shares of conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock 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, shares of common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights thataccounting policies are considered to be outside of our control and subjectcritical, as these policies are the most important to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2021, 5,263,743 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption at the redemption amount were presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our condensed balance sheets.
Derivative warrant liabilities
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate alldepiction of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instrumentsstatements and require significant, difficult or complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effects of matters that are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480inherently uncertain. Such policies are summarized in the Management’s Discussion and FASB ASC Topic 815, “DerivativesAnalysis of Financial Condition and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classificationResults of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is
re-assessed
at the end of each reporting period.

filed with the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) are classified as equity. The 123,500 Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, we recognize the Private Placement Warrants as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to
re-measurement
at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our condensed statements of operations. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants are measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issuedSEC on April 7, 2022. There have been no significant changes in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received.

JOBS Act
The Jumpstart Our Business StartupsJOBS Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for
non-emerging
growth companies. As a result, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controlscontrol over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of
non-emerging
growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOBPublic Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’schief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public OfferingIPO or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by
Rule
12b-2 of
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item. As of June 30, 2021, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the Trust Account, will be invested in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule
2a-7
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.
We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception and we do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.
 
Item 4.
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (who serves as our Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (who serves as our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rules
13a-15
and
15d-15
underUnder the Exchange Act,supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officermanagement, including our principal executive officer and Chief Financial Officer carried outprincipal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (asthe end of the period ended March 31, 2022, as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act)Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021, due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting regarding the classificationMarch 31, 2022, because of the Company’s Warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities. See Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) above. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Accordingly, management believes that 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 period presented.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, other than as noted below, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Except, the Company’s management identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting regarding the classification of the Company’s Warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities.

Risk Factors
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q,
there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on January 29, 2021, except for the below risk factor. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Certain of our warrants are accounted for as a warrant liability and are 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 our common stock.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had 123,500 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. These warrants will become exercisable 30 days after completion of the initial Business Combination provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances). Once the Private Placement Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem outstanding warrants in certain circumstances; provided, however, that the Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees. Under GAAP, the Company is required to evaluate contingent exercise provisions of these warrants and then their settlement provisions to determine whether they should be accounted for as a warrant liability or as equity. Any settlement amount not equal to the difference between the fair value of a fixed number of our equity shares and a fixed monetary amount precludes these warrants from being considered indexed to its own stock, and therefore, from being accounted for as equity. As a result of the provision that the Private Placement Warrants, when held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, will be redeemable by the Company, the requirements for accounting for these warrants as equity are not satisfied. Therefore, the Company is required to account for these Private Placement Warrants as a warrant liability and record (a) that liability at fair value, and (b) 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 the market price of our common stock.
The securities in which we invest the funds held in the trust account could bear a negative rate of interest, which could reduce the value of the assets held in trust such that the
per-share
redemption amount received by public stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share.
The proceeds held in the trust account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule
2a-7
under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. While short-term U.S. government treasury obligations currently yield a positive rate of interest, they have briefly yielded negative interest rates in recent years. Central banks in Europe and Japan pursued interest rates below zero in recent years, and the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve has not ruled out the possibility that it may in the future adopt similar policies in the United States. In the event that we are unable to complete our initial business combination or make certain amendments to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, our public stockholders are entitled to receive their
pro-rata
share of the proceeds held in the trust account, plus any interest income, net of income taxes paid or payable (less, in the case we are unable to complete our initial business combination, $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses). Negative interest rates could reduce the value of the assets held in trust such that the
per-share
redemption amount received by public stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share.
We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021. If we are unable to 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.
In connection with the reclassification of our warrants, 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 reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of ourthe Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Effective internal controls are necessary Specifically, the Company’s management has concluded that our control around the interpretation and accounting for us to provide reliable financial reportscertain complex features of the common stock and prevent fraud. We continue to evaluate steps to remediatewarrants issued by the Company was not effectively designed or maintained. This 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 weaknessesweakness resulted in the future, any such newly identifiedrestatement of the Company’s balance sheet as of February 8, 2021 and its interim financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Additionally, this material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detectresult in a misstatement of ourthe warrant liability, common stock subject to redemption and related accounts orand disclosures that couldwould result in a material misstatement of the financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As a result, our annual or interimmanagement performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements. Instatements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, result of operations and cash flows of the periods presented. Management understands that the accounting standards applicable to our consolidated financial statements are complex and has since the inception of the company benefited from the support of experienced third-party professionals with whom management has regularly consulted with respect to accounting issues. Management intends to continue to further consult with such case, we mayprofessionals in connection with accounting matters.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to 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 confidencedisclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022 covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting except for the below:
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer performed additional accounting and financial analyses and other post-closing procedures including consulting with subject matter experts related to the accounting for certain complex features of the common stock and warrants. The Company’s management has expended, and will continue to expend, a substantial amount of effort and resources for the remediation and improvement of our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure youinternal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to properly identify and evaluate the appropriate accounting technical pronouncements and other literature for all significant or unusual transactions, we have expanded and will continue to improve these processes to ensure that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may takenuances of such transactions are effectively evaluated in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.context of the increasingly complex accounting standards.

Risk Factors.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we supplement the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on April 7, 2022 with the following risk factors. Any of these factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or herein could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Recent increases in inflation in the United States and elsewhere could make it more difficult for us to consummate a business combination.
Recent increases in inflation in the United States and elsewhere may be leading to increased price volatility for publicly traded securities, including ours, and may lead to other national, regional and international economic disruptions, any of which could make it more difficult for us to consummate a business combination.
Military conflict in Ukraine could make it more difficult for us to consummate a business combination.
Military conflict in Ukraine may lead to increased and price volatility for publicly traded securities, including ours, and to other national, regional and international economic disruptions and economic uncertainty, any of which could make it more difficult for us to identify a business combination partner and consummate a business combination on acceptable commercial terms or at all.
Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern.”
At March 31, 2022, we had approximately $93,320 of cash and a working capital deficit of approximately $2.3 million. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans. Management’s plans to address this need for capital through this offering are discussed in Note 2 under “Liquidity and Going Concern.” On May 2, 2022, the Company received from our Sponsor funds in the amount of $424,770 to provide the Company with additional working capital during the Combination Period in consideration for the issuance by the Company to the Sponsor of the Working Capital Note. We cannot assure you that the proceeds from the issuance of the Working Capital Note will be sufficient to fund the Company’s working capital needs or that our plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial business combination will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this report do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to consummate this offering or our inability to continue as a going concern.
