CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and 5,701,967Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Report, including statements concerning possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, and any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this Report are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including the risks, uncertainties and assumptions described under the section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 23, 2023 titled “Risk Factors.” These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, including, without limitation, the following:

the ability to maintain the listing of the shares of Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value, issuedCommon Stock and outstandingWarrants on Nasdaq;
litigation, complaints, product liability claims and/or adverse publicity;
privacy and data protection laws, privacy or data breaches, or the loss of data;
the impact of changes in customer spending patterns, customer preferences, local, regional and national economic conditions, crime, weather, demographic trends and employee availability; and

SOFTWARE ACQUISITION GROUP INC. III
our ability to fulfill the obligations and comply with the covenants under the Indenture governing our Convertible Notes; and
FORM
10-Q
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
TABLE OF CONTENTS
other risks and uncertainties included in this Report, including those under the section entitled "Risk Factors."

Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Report will prove to be accurate. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

You should read this Report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

The Company’s business model is based on providing a comprehensive e-commerce solution to its customers on a revenue sharing basis. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this subsection to “we,” “our,” “Nogin” and the “Company” refer to the business and operations of Legacy Nogin (as defined below) and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination (as defined below) and to Nogin, Inc.

Reverse Stock Split

On March 18, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of its common stock. The reverse stock split became effective upon filing of a certificate of amendment to the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation on March 28, 2023. Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, (i) every twenty shares of outstanding common stock were reclassified and combined into one share of common stock and (ii) the number of common stock for which each outstanding option and warrant to purchase common stock is exercisable was proportionately decreased and the exercise price per share of common stock of each outstanding option and warrant to purchase common stock was proportionately increased. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. The total number of authorized shares of common stock and the par value per share of common stock did not change as a result of the reverse stock split. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in these financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the reverse stock split and exercise price of each outstanding option and warrant as if the transaction had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
(the “Closing Date”), the Company completed its previously announced Business Combination pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of February 14, 2022 (as amended on April 19, 2022 and August 26, 2022), by and among the Company (formerly known as Software Acquisition Group Inc. III (the “Company or (“SWAG”) is), Nuevo Merger Sub, Inc., a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on
 January 5, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”).
The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary which was formed on December 20, 2021, Nuevoof SWAG (“Merger Sub”), and Branded Online, Inc. dba Nogin (“Legacy Nogin”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub Inc. (the “Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation.
The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stagewas merged with and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associatedinto Legacy Nogin, with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity from January 5, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates
non-operating
income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 28, 2021. On August 2, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000 which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 9,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Software Acquisition Holdings III, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000, which is described in Note 4.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on August 2, 2021 and the close of the over-allotment on August 4, 2021, an amount of $231,499,860 ($10.15 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) which will be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of
Rule2a-7
of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders, as described below.
On August 2, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise their over-allotment option. As such, on August 4, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 2,807,868 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, and the sale of an additional 982,754 Private Placement Warrants, at $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $29,061,434. A total of $28,499,860 was deposited into the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $231,499,860.
Transaction costs amounted to $13,056,080, consisting of $4,561,574 of underwriting fees, $7,982,754 of deferred underwriting fees and $511,752 of other offering costs.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. NASDAQ rules provide thatLegacy Nogin surviving the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together haveas a fair market value equal to at least 80%wholly owned subsidiary of the balance inCompany (the “Business Combination” and, together with the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital, if permitted, and excludingother transactions contemplated by the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions) atMerger Agreement, the time“Transactions”).

While Legacy Nogin became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the signing a definitive agreement to enter a Business Combination. The Company, will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination 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 notLegacy Nogin was deemed to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i)acquirer in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in which case the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company represent a continuation of Legacy Nogin and the issuance of common stock and cash consideration in exchange for the net assets of SWAG recognized at historical costs and no recognition of goodwill or (ii) by meansother intangible assets. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Legacy Nogin and all share and per-share data included in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination.

As a tender offer. result of the Business Combination, equity holders of Legacy Nogin received approximately 2.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) and cash consideration of $15.0 million, of which $10.9 million was deferred on the Closing Date (Note 9).

The treatment of the Business Combination as a reverse recapitalization was based on the stockholders of Legacy Nogin holding the majority of voting interests of the Company, Legacy Nogin’s existing management team serving primarily as the initial management team of the Company, Legacy Nogin’s appointment of the majority of the initial board of directors of the Company and Legacy Nogin’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the Company.

In connection with a proposedthe Business Combination, the Company may seek stockholder approvalreceived proceeds of a Business Combination at a meeting calledapproximately $58.8 million from SWAG’s trust account, net of redemptions by SWAG’s public shareholders, as well as approximately $65.5 million in proceeds from the contemporaneous issuance of convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”). The aggregate cash raised has been used for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardlessgeneral business purposes, the paydown of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only ifLegacy Nogin’s outstanding debt, the Company has net tangible assetspayment of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combinationtransaction costs and if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majoritypayment of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favorcash consideration.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.15 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the day of liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.15 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of Proposed Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure its stockholders that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $18,159 in its operating bank accounts, $231,842,586 in securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its common stock in connection therewith and working capital deficit of $2,240,023. As of June 30, 2022, approximately $342,726 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is available to pay the Company’s tax obligations.
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. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
Going Concern
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2014-15,
“Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by February 2, 2023, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after February 2, 2023.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or search for a target business, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to

Form10-Q
Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation
S-X
of the SEC.Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on

Form10-K
as filed withConsolidated Financial Statements for the SEC on March 30,year ended December 31, 2022. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 isMarch 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the period ending December 31, 20222023, or for any future annual or interim periods.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Emerging Growth Company

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

companies.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary requirements for short-term liquidity and capital are working capital, inventory management, capital expenditures, public company costs and general corporate needs. We expect these needs to continue as we develop and grow our business. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our levels of revenue, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, successful customer acquisitions, the results of business initiatives, the timing of new product introductions and overall economic conditions.

Prior to the Business Combination, the Company’s condensedavailable liquidity and operations were financed through equity contributions, a line of credit, promissory notes and cash flow from operations. Moving forward, the Company expects to fund operations through equity contributions and cash flow from operations.

Because we are in the growth stage of our business and operate in an emerging field of technology, we expect to continue to invest in research and development and expand our sales and marketing teams worldwide. We are likely to require additional capital to respond to technological advancements, competitive dynamics or technologies, customer demands, business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances and in either the short-term or long-term may determine to engage in equity or debt financings or enter into credit facilities for other reasons. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company whichas of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has opted outsustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and had a cash balance of using$0.6 million as of March 31, 2023.

Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the extended transition period difficult or impossible becauseyear ended December 31, 2022, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date that such consolidated financial statements were issued.

In March 2023, the Company did not timely make the payment of the potential differencesaccrued interest on the Convertible Notes due on March 1, 2023 of $2.3 million, resulting in accounting standards used.a default. On March 26, 2023, the Company, the Notes Guarantors and the holders of the Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Holders”) entered into limited waivers and consents (each, a “Waiver” and collectively, the “Waivers”) pursuant to which, among other things, each Holder agreed to (i) waive the Specified Default and any payment obligation of the Company under the Indenture with respect to the March Interest Payment (as defined below), (ii) in lieu of the Interest Payments (as defined below), (a) receive a Promissory Note or Convertible Promissory Note, as applicable, and (b) amend the Warrant Agreement to reduce the exercise price of the warrants governed thereby from $11.50 to $0.01, and (iii) consent to the entry into the Supplemental Indenture (as defined below). The Supplemental Indenture, among other things, lowered the minimum amounts of liquidity the Company must maintain on a consolidated basis for each quarter in 2023 and the first quarter of 2024.

In April 2023, the Company completed a registered public offering of common stock and common warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $22 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses.

In addition, the Company is currently executing on various strategies to improve available cash balances, liquidity and cash generated from operations, including strategic growth plans, ongoing comprehensive cost reduction and performance improvement programs, reduced headcount and elimination of certain discretionary and general and administrative expenses, and taking steps to improve the operational efficiency of our fulfillment operations. With these strategies in place, the Company believes it will be able to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The worldwide spread of COVID-19 and its variants have had, and continue to have a significant impact around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a global slowdown of economic activity which altered the demand for a broad variety of goods and services, including those provided by our clients, while also disrupting sales channels and advertising and marketing activities until economic activity normalized. Our revenue growth and results of operations have been resilient despite the headwinds created by the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants. The extent to which ongoing and future developments related to the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related vaccination measures designed to curb its spread continue to impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations, all of which cannot be predicted with certainty. Many of these ongoing and future developments are beyond our control, including the speed of contagion, the development, distribution and implementation of effective preventative or treatment measures, including vaccines (and vaccination rates), the scope of governmental and other restrictions on travel, discretionary services and other activity, and the public reactions and receptiveness to these developments.

The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic. These developments and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial markets and overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Use of Estimates

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

Making The Company prepared these estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible thatbased on the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in this financial statement is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as moremost current and best available information, becomes available and, accordingly, thebut actual results could differ significantlymaterially from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been madethese estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the financial statements include, but are not limited to, the allowance for credit losses and revenue recognition, including variable consideration for estimated reserves for returns and other allowances, forecasts and other assumptions used in valuations. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Accounts Receivable, Net

The allowance for credit losses was $333 thousand as of March 31, 2023 and $425 thousand as of December 31, 2022.

Inventory

Inventory is comprised entirely of finished goods for resale. The reserve for returns was $159 thousand as of March 31, 2023 and $535 thousand as of December 31, 2022.

Concentration of Risks

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, restricted cash and accounts receivables. The Company maintains cash balances at financial statementsinstitutions. Amounts on deposit at these institutions are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At various times, the Company has had bank deposits in excess of the FDIC's insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in its cash accounts to conformdate. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. As of March 31, 2023, receivables from two customers amounted to $619 thousand (or 36% of accounts receivable) and $298 thousand (or 18% of accounts receivable), respectively. As of December 31, 2022, receivables from two customers amounted to $771 thousand (or 44% of accounts receivable) and $153 thousand (or 9% of accounts receivable), respectively.

Major Customers

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, revenue from our top three customers amounted to $2.9 million (or 17% of total revenue), $1.8 million (or 11% of total revenue), and $1.7 million (or 10% of total revenue), respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, revenue from our top three customers amounted to $9.2 million (or 36% of total revenue), $3.7 million (or 15% of total revenue), and $2.0 million (or 8% of total revenue), respectively.

Major Suppliers

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our top three vendors accounted for operating expense of $2.1 million (or 12% of total operating expense purchases), $2.0 million (or 12% of total operating expense purchases) and $1.4 million (or 8% of total operating expense purchases), respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our top three vendors accounted for operating expense of $4.8 million (or 20% of total operating expense purchases), $2.3 million (or 10% of total operating expense purchases) and $2.1 million (or 9% of total operating expense purchases), respectively.

Right-of-use Assets and Lease Liabilities

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 and all subsequent amendments, collectively codified in ASC Topic 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”), using the current period adjustment method. Accordingly, comparative period financial information was not restated for the effects of adopting ASC 842.

The significant practical expedients we adopted include the following:

We elected the practical expedient to apply the transition approach as of the beginning of the period of adoption and not restate comparative periods;
We elected to utilize the “package of three” expedients, as defined in ASC 842, whereby we did not reassess whether contracts existing prior to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on net income (loss) as previously reportedeffective date contain leases, nor did we reassess lease classification determinations nor whether initial direct costs qualify for capitalization;

As of the assets helddate of adoption on January 1, 2022, the impact of ASC 842 resulted in the Trust Accountrecognition of a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and lease liability for our operating leases on our consolidated balance sheets of approximately $13.0 million and $15.1 million, respectively.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

Warrants

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ (deficit) equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ (deficit) equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Class A common stock reflected in the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Derivative Liabilities
The Company accounts for derivative instrumentswarrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)FASB ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives“Derivatives and HedgingHedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instrumentswarrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the derivative instrumentswarrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether theythe warrants are indexed to the Company’s own shares of common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the instrumentswarrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional
paid-in
capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter.thereafter until settlement. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a

gain or loss on the condensed statements of operations. The Company’s has analyzed the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants and determined they are considered to be freestanding instruments and do not exhibit any of the characteristics in ASC 480 and therefore are not classified as liabilities under ASC 480 (See Note 8).

Accordingly, the option was fair valued and recorded as a liability at issuance date and applied to the offering cost of the Class A redeemable shares. On August 4, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,807,868 Units at $10.00 per Unit and forfeited the remaining over-allotment option.

Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to stockholders’ (deficit) equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounted to $13,056,080, which were charged to stockholders’ (deficit) equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. $12,318,960 were allocated to public shares and charged to temporary equity, and $737,120 was allocated to warrants and accounted for as equity.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), requires(ASC 740). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the recognitionestimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities for bothof a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the expected impact of differences betweenperiod that included the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards.

Performance obligations include establishing and maintaining customer online stores, providing access to the Company’s e-commerce platform, customer service support, photography services, warehousing, and fulfillment. Most of the contracts of the Company with customers contain multiple promises, which may result in multiple performance obligations, while others are combined into one performance obligation. For contracts with customers, the Company accounts for individual promises separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts inthe separate performance obligations on a financial institution, which, at times may exceedrelative standalone selling price basis. The Company determines the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. standalone selling prices based on its overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors.

The Company has concluded the sale of goods and related shipping and handling on behalf of our customers are accounted for as a single performance obligation, while the expenses incurred for actual shipping charges are included in cost of sales.

The Company’s revenue is mainly commission fees derived from contractually committed gross revenue processed by customers on the Company's e-commerce platform. The Company is acting as an agent in these arrangements and customers do not experienced losseshave the contractual right to take possession of the Company's software. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to ultimately receive in exchange for those promised goods, net of expected discounts for sales promotions and customary allowances.

CaaS Revenue is recognized on these accountsa net basis from maintaining e-commerce platforms and management believesonline orders, as the Company is engaged primarily in an agency relationship with its customers and earns defined amounts based on the individual contractual terms for the customer and the Company does not exposedtake possession of the customers' inventory or any credit risks relating to the products sold.

Variable consideration is included in revenue for potential product returns. The Company uses an estimate to constrain revenue for the expected variable consideration at each period end. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and expected levels of returns. Any uncertainties in the ultimate resolution of variable consideration due to factors outside of the Company’s influence are typically resolved within a short timeframe therefore not requiring any additional constraint on the variable consideration. The estimated reserve for returns is included on the balance sheet in accrued expenses with changes to the reserve in revenue on the accompanying statement of operations.

Payment terms and conditions are generally consistent for customers, including credit terms to customers ranging from seven days to 60 days, and the Company’s contracts do not include any significant financing component. The Company performs credit evaluations of customers and evaluates the need for allowances for potential credit losses based on historical experience, as well as current and expected general economic conditions.

Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from net revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Commerce as a Service

As noted above, the Company’s main revenue stream is CaaS revenue in which it receives commission fees derived from contractually committed gross revenue processed by customers on the Company's e-commerce platform. Consideration for online sales is collected directly from the end customer by the Company and amounts not owed to the Company are remitted to the customer. Revenue is recognized on a net basis from maintaining e-commerce platforms and online orders, as the Company is engaged in an agency relationship with its customers and earns defined amounts based on the individual contractual terms for the customer and the Company does not take possession of the customers' inventory or any credit risks relating to the products sold.

Product sales

Under certain licensee agreements, the Company is the owner of inventory and reseller of record. As a result, the Company is the principal in sales to end customers and records these revenues on a gross basis at a point in time.

Fulfillment services

Revenue for business-to-business (“B2B”) fulfillment services is recognized on a gross basis either at a point in time or over a point in time. For example, inbound and outbound services are recognized when the service is complete, while monthly storage services are recognized over the service period.

Marketing services

Revenue for marketing services is recognized on a gross basis as marketing services are complete. Performance obligations include providing marketing and program management such account.

as procurement and implementation.

Shipping services

Revenue for shipping services is recognized on a gross basis as shipments are completed and products are shipped to end customers.

Set up and implementation services

The Company provides set up and implementation services for new clients. The revenue is recognized on a gross basis at the completion of the service, with the unearned amounts received for incomplete services recorded as deferred revenue, if any.

Other services

Revenue for other services such as photography, business to customer (“B2C”) fulfillment, customer service, development and web design are reimbursable costs and recognized on the gross basis, and are services rendered as part of the performance obligations to clients for which an online platform and online orders are managed. All reimbursable costs are the responsibility of the Company as the Company uses such services to fulfill its performance obligations.

Cost of services

Cost of services reflects costs directly related to providing services under the master service agreements with customers, which primarily includes service provider costs directly related to processing revenue transactions, marketing expenses and shipping and handling expenses which correspond to marketing and shipping revenues, as well as credit card merchant fees. Cost of services is exclusive of depreciation and amortization and general salaries and related expenses.

Cost of product revenue

Cost of product revenue reflects costs directly related to selling inventory acquired from select clients, which primarily includes product cost, warehousing costs, fulfillment costs, credit card merchant fees and third-party royalty costs. Cost of product revenue is exclusive of depreciation and amortization and general salaries and related expenses.

Due to Clients

Due to clients consists of amounts payable to clients pertaining to the client’s last month pro rata share of revenue earned and collected by the Company, less any returns and any expenses incurred by the Company on behalf of the clients. In most cases, the Company acts as the merchant and seller of record and thus directly collects the funds from sales on the online store. As such, at the end of each month, there is an amount owed to the Company’s clients net of the Company’s fees, and expenses incurred on the client’s behalf.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company applies the provisions of Financial Instruments

Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which provides a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and expands on required disclosures about fair value measurement.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820 to all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.

11


The Company defines fair value as an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

In determining fair value, the Company utilized valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counter party credit risk and nonperformance risk in its assessment of fair value.

The faircarrying value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify asshort-term financial instruments, under ASCsuch as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes payable, and accounts payable, approximate the fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the Company’s secured credit facility and certain other debt has a variable component, which is reflective of the market.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses” (Topic 326). The FASB issued this update to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendments in this update replace the existing guidance of incurred loss impairment methodology with an approach that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses,approximateswhich clarifies the carrying amounts representedscope of guidance in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

In addition, each of the financial advisors will have the right, in its sole discretion, to receive shares of the Post-Combination Company (“Post-Closing Stock Fee Shares”) in satisfaction of all or any portion of such financial advisor’s Deferred Post-Closing Cash Obligation, to be issued at the fair market value of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock as determined by the immediately preceding
five
-day volume weighted average price. Any portion of such financial advisor’s Post-Closing Cash Obligation that is not converted into the right to receive Post-Closing Stock Fee Shares will remain due and payable in cash. The Post-Combination Company’s payment of the Post-Closing Cash Obligation, including satisfaction of the Post-Closing Cash Obligation through the issuance of Post-Closing Stock Fee Shares, shall be subject in all respects to certain covenants under the Indenture including the following: (A) the Post-Combination Company shall not pay any financial advisory or similar costs, fees and expenses associated with the Transactions in cash unless the net indebtedness of the Post-Combination Company is less than $
10
million; and (B) regardless of the fair market value of the Post-Combination Company’s common stock, the Post-Combination Company may not issue the Post-Closing Stock Fee Shares for an amount less than $
5.00
per share of common stock. SWAG, Nogin, Jefferies, Stifel and JWCA established the percentages in the Trust Account Allocation based on the relative sizes of their fees.
Merger Agreement
On February 14, 2022, Software Acquisition Group Inc. III, a Delaware corporation (“SWAG”), and Nuevo Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of SWAG (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”) with Branded Online, Inc. (d/b/a Nogin), a Delaware corporation (“Nogin”). If (i) the Merger Agreement is adopted and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, are approved by SWAG’s and Nogin’s stockholders and (ii) the Merger is subsequently completed, Merger Sub will merge with and into Nogin, with Nogin surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SWAG (the “Merger” and, along with the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”).
As part of the Transactions, holders of Nogin’s common stock and vested options will receive aggregate consideration of approximately $566.0 million, payable in (i) the case of Nogin’s stockholders, newly issued shares of SWAG Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“SWAG Class A common stock”), with a value ascribed to each share of SWAG Class A common stock of $10.00, and, at their election, a portion of $20.0 million of consideration payable in cash and (ii) the case of Nogin’s option holders, options of SWAG (collectively, the “merger consideration”).
Amendment to Merger Agreement
On April 20, 2022, SWAG, Merger Sub and Nogin entered into the Amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “MA Amendment”). The MA Amendment reflects the parties’ agreement to lower the cash consideration amount from $20 million to $15 million and increase the share consideration in a proportionate amount.
PIPE Subscription Agreements

On April 19, 2022, SWAG,the Company, certain guarantors named therein (the “Notes Guarantors”) and certain investors named therein (each, a “Subscriber” and collectively, the “Subscribers”), entered into subscription agreements (each, a “PIPE Subscription Agreement” and collectively, the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) pursuant to which SWAGthe Company agreed to issue and sell at the par value of the notes, to the Subscribers immediately prior to the closing of the MergerBusiness Combination (i) up to an aggregate principal amount of $75$75.0 million of 7.00%7.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”) convertible into shares of SWAG Class A common stock,at par value $0.0001 per share (“SWAG Common Stock”),of the notes and (ii) up to an aggregate of 1.5 million warrants (the “PIPE Warrants”) with each whole PIPE Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of SWAG Common Stock (the transactions described in clauses (i) and (ii), collectively,

On August 26, 2022, immediately prior to the “PIPE Investment”). The Subscribers have agreed to purchase $65 million aggregate principal amountclosing of the Convertible Notes, with a subsidiary of UBS Hedge Fund Solutions LLC (“UBS”Business Combination (the “Closing”) having, the option to purchase up to an additional $10 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes (together with additional PIPE Warrants) pursuant to an “accordion feature” included in UBS’s PIPE Subscription Agreement. Jonathan Huberman, Chief Executive Officer of SWAG, has also executed a PIPE Subscription Agreement for $0.5Company issued $65.5 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. Subscribers will also receive a pro rata portion ofNotes and, as contemplated by the PIPE Warrants in connection with their respective commitments to purchaseSubscription Agreements, the Convertible Notes.

The PIPE Investment is conditioned on (i)Company, the substantially contemporaneous closing of the Merger and the other Transactions as well as the execution of (x) an indenture governing the Convertible Notes (the “Indenture”) by and among SWAG, as issuer, the NotesNote Guarantors as guarantors, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, entered into an Indenture governing the Convertible Notes (the “Indenture”). The Convertible Notes were offered in a private placement under the Securities Act, pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements. The Convertible Notes will mature on September 1, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms, and collateral agentwill accrue interest at a rate of 7.00% per annum, payable in cash. The Convertible Notes may be converted at any time (in whole or in part) into shares of Common Stock, at the option of the holder of such Convertible Note, based on the applicable conversion rate at such time. The initial conversion price is approximately $11.50 per share of Common Stock, based on an initial conversion rate of 86.9565 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes. For conversions with a conversion date on or after the first anniversary of the closing of the Transactions and prior to the regular record date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the conversion consideration will also include an interest make-whole payment equal to the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the Convertible Note being converted through the Maturity Date. The Company will be able to elect to make such interest make-whole payment in cash or in Common Stock, subject to certain conditions. The conversion rate is subject to adjustments set forth in the Indenture, including conversion rate resets (x) on August 27, 2023, September 26, 2023 and September 26, 2024 and (y) following the consummation of certain equity and equity-linked offerings by the Company and sales of certain equity and equity-linked securities by certain shareholders of the Company. On August 27, 2023, the conversion rate will reset to the greater of (i) the then-current conversion rate and (ii) if the Standby Capital VWAP Sale Price (as defined below) is less than or equal to $7.50, the quotient of (x) $1,000 and (y) the volume weighted average sale price of shares of Common Stock sold under the Standby Agreement (as defined below) (the “Trustee”“Standby Capital VWAP Sale Price”). As of March 31, 2023, the Standby Capital VWAP Sale Price was $1.76.

Each holder of a Convertible Note will have the right to cause the Post-Combination Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of the Convertible Notes held by such holder upon the occurrence of a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) at a price equal to (i) on or before September 26, 2023, 100% of the original principal amount of such Convertible Note, and related agreements(ii) from and after September 26, 2023, 100% of the accreted principal amount applicable at such time pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Indenture includes restrictive covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a minimum level of liquidity on a consolidated basis and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness above certain thresholds or to issue preferred stock, to make certain restricted payments, to dispose of certain material assets and engage in other asset sales, subject to reinvestment rights, to pay certain advisory fees in connection to the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by the PIPE Subscription Agreements above a certain threshold, and other customary covenants with respect to the collateral securing the obligations created by the Convertible Notes and the Indenture, including the entry into security documents (in each case, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture); provided that the covenants with respect to (i) the making of restricted payments, (ii) the incurrence of indebtedness, (iii) the disposition of certain material assets and asset sales, (iv) liquidity, (v) the payment of advisory fees and (vi) the collateral securing the obligations created by the Convertible Notes and the Indenture shall terminate once less than 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes are outstanding. The liquidity covenant would terminate if the

15


Company achieves $175 million in consolidated revenue in the preceding four fiscal quarters. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries will serve as Notes Guarantors that jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantee the obligations under the Convertible Notes and the Indenture. The Indenture also requires certain future subsidiaries of the Post-Combination Company, if any, to become Notes Guarantors. This covenant will terminate once less than 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes are outstanding. The Indenture also includes customary events of default and (y)related provisions for potential acceleration of the Convertible Notes.

If the Company does not have an effective registration statement on file with the SEC within 90 days of the Closing Date, registering the underlying shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, or fails to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, then additional interest would accrue on the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes at a warrantrate of (a) 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days commencing on the first business day following a ten business day grace period and (b) 0.50% per annum thereafter, in each case, until the Company cures the lapse of effectiveness. The Company accounts for such additional interest in accordance with ASC subtopic 825-20, Registration Payment Arrangements (“ASC 825-20”). ASC 825-20 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument, should be separately recognized and accounted for as a contingency in accordance with ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies. The registration statement was declared effective on November 14, 2022.

The Company elected to account for the Convertible Notes under the fair value option of accounting upon issuance of the Convertible Notes. At issuance the Company recognized the fair value of the Convertible Notes of $65.1 million with the remaining $0.4 million of proceeds received allocated to the PIPE Warrants. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Convertible Notes were $57.4 million and $62.5 million, respectively, of which $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, representing accrued interest, is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The gain on fair value of the Convertible Notes during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $4.6 million of which $1.1 million is included in interest expense, which is recognized based on the effective interest method.

The primary reason for electing the fair value option is for simplification and cost-benefit considerations of accounting for the Convertible Notes (the “PIPE Warrant Agreement”hybrid financial instrument) at fair value in its entirety versus bifurcation of the embedded derivatives. The fair value was determined using a binomial lattice valuation model. The significant inputs to the valuation of the Convertible Notes at fair value are Level 3 inputs since they are not directly observable. The significant assumptions used in the model are the discount rate of 15.04%, which is based on the company's credit rating, volatility of 96.85% and 41 time-nodes.

The Company did not timely make the payment of the accrued interest on the Convertible Notes due on March 1, 2023. On March 26, 2023, the Company, the Notes Guarantors and Holders entered into limited waivers and consents pursuant to which each holder agreed to (i) waive the Specified Default and any payment obligation of the Company under the Indenture with respect to the March Interest Payment, (ii) in lieu of the March Interest Payment and payment of the accrued interest on the Convertible Notes due on September 1, 2023 (collectively, the “Interest Payments”), (a) receive a Promissory Note (as defined below) and (b) amend the Warrant Agreement (as defined below) to reduce the exercise price of the warrants governed thereby from $11.50 to $0.01, and (iii) consent to the entry into the Supplemental Indenture.

The Supplemental Indenture, among other things, (i) lowered the minimum amounts of liquidity the Company must maintain on a consolidated basis for each quarter in 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, (ii) added restrictions on the Company's ability to make payments relating to certain restricted investments, (iii) decreased the maximum amount of equity interests that the Company may repurchase, redeem, acquire or retire, (iv) removed the Company's ability to issue preferred stock or incur certain unsecured indebtedness or junior lien indebtedness, (v) decreased other permitted debt baskets, (vi) decreased the threshold for a cross-default for purposes of determining an Event of Default and (vii) added a new Event of Default in the event the Company does not consummate an underwritten primary equity offering providing at least $10 million of proceeds to the Company by April 30, 2023.

On March 26, 2023, the Company, the Notes Guarantors and between SWAG,each holder of the Convertible Notes executed unsecured promissory notes (each, a 2023 Promissory Note and collectively, the 2023 Promissory Notes), with each 2023 Promissory Note having an aggregate principal amount equal to such holder's interest payments. The 2023 Promissory Notes mature on March 26, 2025 and accrue interest at seven percent (7.0%) per annum.

In addition, the 2023 Promissory Notes provide that, in the event the Company consummates the April 2023 Offering (as defined below) by April 30, 2023, the holder of each 2023 Promissory Note has the option to require the Company to repay a portion of the principal balance of the 2023 Promissory Note in an amount equal to or less than the gross proceeds to the Company from any purchases by the holder of the Company's securities in the April 2023 Offering (the Put Option). Each holder may exercise its Put Option within ten business days following the closing and funding of the April 2023 Offering. In addition, certain of the 2023 Promissory Notes provide such holders with the right to convert their respective promissory note (the Convertible Promissory Notes) into unregistered securities of the Company (the Unregistered Securities) on the same terms as issuer,the securities offered in the April 2023 Offering in the event such offering is consummated.

The Company elected to account for the 2023 Promissory Notes and Convertible Promissory Notes under the fair value option of accounting upon issuance of such notes. At issuance the Company recognized the fair value of the 2023 Promissory Notes and Convertible Promissory Notes of $4.8 million. As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the 2023 Promissory Notes and Convertible Promissory Notes remained consistent at $4.8 million. The loss on the increase in fair value of the notes during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $159 thousand included in the change in fair value of promissory notes on the consolidated statements of operations.

Loans

In February 2023, the Company obtained a loan for $3 million with a third-party with an annual interest rate of 39% and debt issuance cost of $75 thousand, which are to be paid from future cash receipts. The third-party has rights to future cash receipts until the loan is fully repaid. The weekly repayments began at the end of February 2023 for $130 thousand and will continue until the loan is fully repaid in October 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of the loan was $2.7 million.

In February 2023, the Company obtained a loan for $250 thousand with a merchant third-party with an annual percentage rate of 20.17%, which are to be repaid from future cash receipts directly from the merchant. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, repayments of $72 thousand have been made and the loan is expected to be fully repaid in August 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of the loan was $203 thousand.

The Company calculates the interest and expenses of the debt issuance cost using the effective interest rate method.

Promissory Notes

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into promissory notes with various individuals (the “Promissory Notes”), including current investors, members of management and other unrelated parties in exchange for cash in an amount equal to $7.0 million (the “Promissory Notes”). The Promissory Notes were due to mature on the earlier of (a) one year from issuance or (b) the closing of the Business Combination (Note 1) and bore per annum interest at the rate of 7.75% plus the greater of 3.50% or the prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal. The Company was required to make nine interest-only payments, followed by three principal and interest payments. In connection with the Promissory Notes, the Company issued warrants (“Promissory Note Warrants”) to purchase up to 31,024 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (Note 8). Upon payment in full of the Promissory Notes, the Company was required to make an additional final payment (“Final Payment”) of $3.5 million.

The Company elected to account for the Promissory Notes under the fair value option of accounting upon issuance of each of the Promissory Notes. At issuance the Company recognized the fair value of the Promissory Notes of $6.3 million with the remaining $0.7 million of proceeds received allocated to the Promissory Note Warrants.

The Promissory Notes were repaid at the closing of the Business Combination.

Warrants
— Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the consummation of a Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No Public Warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their Public Warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.
The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of
Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60
th
business day after the closing of a Business Combination or within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act; provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.
Redemption of Warrants When the Price per share of Class
 A common stock Equals or Exceeds $18.00
— Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:
in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
if, and only if, the reported closing price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within
a
30-trading
day
period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.
The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.
In addition if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s 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 a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a 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 a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the 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, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company followsapplies the guidance inprovisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which provides a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and expands on required disclosures about fair value measurement.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820 for itsto all financial assets and liabilities that arere-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and

non-financial
assets and liabilities that arere-measured and reportedare recognized or disclosed at fair value at least annually.
in the financial statements on a recurring basis.

The Company defines fair value ofas an exit price, representing the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amountsprice that the Company would havebe received in connection with the sale of the assetsto sell an asset or paid in connection with theto transfer of the liabilitiesa liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuringAs such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value of itsmeasurement:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

In determining fair value, the Company seeks toutilized valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assetsto the extent possible as well as considers counter party credit risk and liabilities). nonperformance risk in its assessment of fair value.

The carrying value of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, such as cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes payable, and accounts payable, approximate the fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments. As of March 31, 2023, the Company no longer has recurring measurements for warrant liability. Further, the Company has elected to apply the fair value option of accounting for its Convertible Notes and equity investments in unconsolidated affiliates. The Company is required to present the fair value of the Standby Agreement derivative liability each reporting period.

Deferred Business Combination cash consideration

In connection with the Business Combination, Legacy Nogin equity holders elected to receive $15.0 million of the merger consideration in cash. In order to meet conditions to close the Transactions, the Company paid $4.1 million of the $15.0 million cash consideration at the Closing Date. Of the $10.9 million in deferred cash consideration, $5.0 million is payable, subject to certain conditions, on February 21, 2023, and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of March 31, 2023 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (the “Current Cash Consideration”). The remaining $5.9 million (the “Non-current Cash Consideration”) is payable, subject to certain conditions, on the earlier of (a) the date on which the Company completes a primary offering of equity securities that generates gross proceeds to the Company equal to or in excess of $15.0 million and (b) November 25, 2026. In the event the conditions to paying cash consideration are not met and cash consideration remains unpaid as of November 25, 2026, the unpaid cash consideration will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock with the number of shares issued determined based on the observablequotient of unpaid cash consideration divided by the 10-day volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ. The Company elected to account for the Non-current Cash Consideration of $5.9 million under the fair value option of accounting under ASC 825-10. At the Closing Date, the fair value of the Non-current Cash Consideration was $4.2 million. In connection with the reverse recapitalization, the cash consideration would be akin to a distribution of capital. As a result, the Company recorded the fair value of the distribution at the Closing Date of $13.3 million, which included the $4.1 million paid at the Closing Date, $5.0 million Current Cash Consideration and $4.2 million Non-current Cash Consideration, against accumulated deficit. As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the Non-current Cash Consideration was $3.6 million which is included in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The change in fair value from the Closing Date for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $0.2 million is included in other loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The significant inputs and unobservableto the valuation of the deferred cash consideration at fair value are Level 3 inputs since they are not directly observable. The Company primarily used in ordera discounted cash flow method to value the assets and liabilities:

deferred cash consideration, based on the expected future payment discounted to present value. The significant input is the discount rate which is based on the Company’s credit rating.

INCOME TAXES

The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was a benefit of $26 thousand and an expense of $158 thousand, respectively. Income tax expense differs from the income taxes expected at the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to state taxes and additional valuation allowance for the period ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

11.
COMMON STOCK

Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share and, upon liquidation or dissolution, are entitled to receive all assets available for distribution to common stockholders. The holders of common stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there is no redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares.

Common stock will be subordinate to any preferred stock the Company issues in the future with respect to rights upon liquidation of the Company.

12.
STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN

In 2013, Legacy Nogin adopted the 2013 Plan pursuant to which Legacy Nogin was authorized to issue stock options or nonvested shares to officers and key employees in an amount up to 132,770 shares of its common stock. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company adopted the 2022 Plan, which became effective on the Closing Date. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the 2022 Plan is equal to (i) 255,147 shares plus (ii) an annual increase for ten years on the first day of each calendar year beginning on January 1, 2023, equal to the lesser of (A) 15% of the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year and (B) such smaller amount of shares as determined by the Company’s board of directors. Following the effectiveness of the 2022 Plan, the Company will not grant additional awards under the 2013 Plan.

The Company recognized $200 thousand and $58 thousand in stock compensation expense for the three months ending March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility was computed based on the historical volatility of similar entities with publicly traded shares. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield to curve in effect at the time of grant.

The Company has no history or expectations of paying dividends on its common stock.

ACQUISITION

Prior to December 1, 2022, the Company owned a 50% equity interest in a joint venture, ModCloth Partners, LLC. (“ModCloth”), which was accounted for under the fair value option of accounting. On December 1, 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 50% equity interest in ModCloth (the “ModCloth Acquisition”) from Tiger Capital Group, LLC (“Tiger Capital”), pursuant to Tiger Capital’s exercise of their put option to require the Company to purchase all of Tiger Capital’s equity interest for $1.5 million in cash. As a result of the ModCloth Acquisition, ModCloth is now a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company.

Total purchase consideration in connection with the ModCloth Acquisition was $6.9 million, including $1.5 million in cash and $5.4 million for the settlement of a preexisting relationship. Under the terms of the ModCloth Tiger Assignment (“Equity Assignment Agreement”), control of ModCloth transferred to the Company on December 1, 2022 (the “Acquisition Date”). Cash consideration was funded with cash previously recorded as restricted cash in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022. We did not incur material fees and expenses in connection with the ModCloth Acquisition.

20


Prior to the closing of the ModCloth Acquisition, the Company accounted for the existing 50% equity interest in ModCloth using the fair value option of accounting. As of September 30, 2022 the Company’s investment in ModCloth had a fair value and carrying value of $4.5 million. The Company accounted for the acquisition of the remaining 50% equity interest in ModCloth as a step acquisition, which required remeasurement of the Company’s existing 50% ownership interest in ModCloth to fair value as of December 1, 2022. The Company utilized weighted discounted cash flow, guideline public company and comparable market transaction valuation approaches to determine the fair value of the existing equity interest. This resulted in a fair value of $1.92 million and the recognition of a loss of $2.58 million, which was included in Change in fair value of unconsolidated affiliates on the consolidated statements of operations.

The ModCloth Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination by applying the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”.

Fair value measurement methodology used to estimate the fair value of the trade name is based on the relief from royalty method, which estimates the value of the trade names based on the hypothetical royalty payments that are saved by owning the asset. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of intangible asset fair values, from the perspective of a market participant, include, but are not limited to (i) the amount and timing of projected future cash flows (including revenue and expenses), (ii) the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows, and (iii) the assessment of the asset’s life cycle.

The goodwill of $6.7 million represents future economic benefits expected to arise from synergies from combining operations and commercial organizations to increase market presence and the extension of existing customer relationships. The goodwill recorded is not deductible for income tax purposes.

OPERATING LEASES

The Company has entered into lease agreements for offices and warehouses located in California and Pennsylvania.

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 and all subsequent amendments, collectively codified in ASC Topic 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”), using the modified retrospective transition method. Accordingly, comparative period financial information was not restated for the effects of adopting ASC 842.

As of the date of adoption on January 1, 2022, the impact of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and lease liability for our operating leases on our consolidated balance sheets of approximately $13.0 million and $15.1 million, respectively.

Lease liabilities were recognized based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the remaining lease term. ROU assets were recognized utilizing the lease liability as of January 1, 2022 adjusted for certain ASC 840 operating lease related balances. As the Company’s operating lease agreements do not provide a rate implicit in the lease, we discounted the remaining lease payments using an estimated incremental borrowing rate, which was based on the information available at June 30,the adoption date. Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease costs such as common area costs and other operating costs are expensed as incurred. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material net impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows.

Our operating leases primarily consist of office space, distribution centers and equipment used within our operations. Most of the leases have lease terms ranging from three to eight years, although the terms and conditions of our leases can vary significantly from lease to lease.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

The worldwide spread of COVID-19 and its variants had resulted in a global slowdown of economic activity which altered demand for a broad variety of goods and services, including those provided by our clients, while also disrupting sales channels and advertising and marketing activities until economic activity normalized. Our historical revenue growth and results of operations have been resilient despite the headwinds created by the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants. The extent to which ongoing and future developments related to the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and relatedvaccination measures designed to curb its spread continue to impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations, all of which cannot be predicted with certainty. Many of these ongoing and future developments are beyond our control, including the speed of contagion, the development, distribution and implementation of effective preventative or treatment measures, including vaccines (and vaccination rates), the scope of governmental and other restrictions on travel, discretionary services and other activity, and the public reactions and receptiveness to these developments. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” for further discussion of the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants on our business.

At the onset of COVID-19, the Company anticipated an impact on the business, its financial conditions and results of operations. The Company applied for and was granted a Paycheck Protection Plan (“PPP”) loan. In addition, the Company had taken a number of actions to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants on its business. The Company witnessed a large shift in consumer spending from retail stores to online stores, and as a result, there were no significant declines in the periods presented. However, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic. These developments and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial markets and overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Under certain licensee agreements, the Company is the owner of inventory and reseller of record. As a result, the Company is the principal in sales to end customers and records these revenues on a gross basis at a point in time.
Service revenue
o
Commerce as a Service—The Company’s main revenue stream is “Commerce as a Service” revenue in which it receives commission fees derived from contractually committed gross revenue processed by customers on the Company’s e-commerce platform. Consideration for online sales is collected directly from the end customer by the Company and amounts not owed to the Company are remitted to the customer. Revenue is recognized on a net basis from maintaining e-commerce platforms and online orders, as the Company is engaged in an agency relationship with its customers and earns defined amounts based on the individual contractual terms for the customer and the Company does not take possession of the customers’ inventories or any credit risks relating to the products sold.
o
Fulfillment service revenue—Revenue for business-to-business (“B2B”) fulfillment services is recognized on a gross basis either at a point in time or over a point in time. For example, inbound and outbound services are recognized when the service is complete, while monthly storage services are recognized over the service period.
o
Marketing service revenue—Revenue for marketing services is recognized on a gross basis as marketing services are completed. Performance obligations include providing marketing and program management such as procurement and implementation.
o
Shipping service revenue—Revenue for shipping services is recognized on a gross basis as shipments are completed and products are shipped to end customers.

29


o
Other service revenueRevenue for other services such as photography, business to customer (“B2C”) fulfillment, customer service, development and web design are reimbursable costs and recognized on the gross basis, and are services rendered as part of the performance obligations to clients for which an online platform and online orders are managed. All reimbursable costs are the responsibility of the Company as the Company uses such services to fulfill its performance obligations.
o
Set up and implementation service revenue—The Company provides set up and implementation services for new clients. The revenue is recognized on a gross basis at the closingcompletion of suchthe service, with the unearned amounts received for incomplete services recorded as deferred revenue, if any.

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

Identification of a contract with a customer;
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
Determination of the transaction price;
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;
Recognition of revenue when or as i) 2%the performance obligations are satisfied.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods that will be transferred that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Performance obligations include establishing and maintaining customer online stores, providing access to the Company’s e-commerce platform, customer service support, photography services, warehousing, and fulfillment. Most of the contracts of the Company with customers contain multiple promises, which may result in multiple performance obligations, while others are combined into one performance obligation. For contracts with customers, the Company accounts for individual promises separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company determines the standalone selling prices based on its overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors.

The Company has concluded the sale of goods and related shipping and handling on behalf of our customers are accounted for as a single performance obligation, while the expenses incurred for actual shipping charges are included in cost of sales.

The Company’s revenue is mainly commission fees derived from contractually committed gross revenue processed by customers on the Company's e-commerce platform. The Company is acting as an agent in these arrangements and customers do not have the contractual right to take possession of the Company's software. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to ultimately receive in exchange for those promised goods, net of expected discounts for sales promotions and customary allowances.

CaaS Revenue is recognized on a net basis from maintaining e-commerce platforms and online orders, as the Company is engaged primarily in an agency relationship with its customers and earns defined amounts based on the individual contractual terms for the customer and the Company does not take possession of the customers' inventory or any credit risks related to the products sold.

Variable consideration is included in revenue for potential product returns. The Company uses an estimate to constrain revenue for the expected variable consideration at each period end. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and expected levels of returns. Any uncertainties in the ultimate resolution of variable consideration due to factors outside of the Company’s influence are typically resolved within a short timeframe therefore not requiring any additional constraint on the variable consideration. The estimated reserve for returns is included on the balance sheet in accrued expenses with changes to the reserve in revenue on the accompanying statement of operations.

In most cases the Company acts as the merchant of record, resulting in a due to client liability (discussed below). However, in some instances, the Company may perform services without being the merchant of record in which case there is a receivable from the customer.

Payment terms and conditions are generally consistent for customers, including credit terms to customers ranging from seven days to 60 days, and the Company’s contracts do not include any significant financing component. The Company performs credit evaluations of customers and evaluates the need for allowances for potential credit losses based on historical experience, as well as current and expected general economic conditions.

Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from net revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Operating Expenses

We classify our operating expenses into the following categories:

Cost of services. Cost of services reflects costs directly related to providing services under the master service agreements with customers, which primarily includes service provider costs directly related to processing revenue transactions, marketing expenses and shipping and handling expenses which correspond to marketing and shipping revenues, as well as credit card merchant fees. Cost of services is exclusive of depreciation and amortization and general salaries and related expenses.
Cost of product revenue. Cost of product revenue reflects costs directly related to selling inventory acquired from select clients, which primarily includes product cost, warehousing costs, fulfillment costs, credit card merchant fees and third-party royalty costs. Cost of product revenue is exclusive of depreciation and amortization and general salaries and related expenses.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of salaries associated with selling across all our revenue streams.
Research and development. Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries and contractors’ costs associated with research and development of the Company’s technology platform.
General, and administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of lease expense, materials and equipment, dues and subscriptions, professional services, and acquisition costs incurred.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses are primarily attributable to our capital investment and consist of fixed asset depreciation and amortization of intangibles considered to have finite lives.

Interest Expense

Interest expense primarily consists of interest incurred under our Convertible Notes.

Change in Fair Value of Unconsolidated Affiliates

Change in fair value of unconsolidated affiliates represents the fair value adjustments associated with the Company’s joint venture investments for which the Company elected to use the fair value option of accounting.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) is mainly related to change in fair value of deferred cash consideration, change in fair value of warrant, debt issuance cost expensed under the fair value option, offset by sublease rental income derived from the sublease of property by the Company as well as gain from settlement of deferred revenue.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

The provision (benefit) for income taxes consist primarily of U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized with respect to the tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent primarily on the generation of future taxable income. In considering the need for a valuation allowance, we consider our historical, as well as future, projected taxable income along with other objectively verifiable evidence. Objectively verifiable evidence includes our realization of tax attributes, assessment of tax credits and utilization of net operating loss carryforwards during the year.

Net product revenue decreased by $6.4 million, or 49.4%, to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in product revenue is primarily due to a push in the prior fiscal quarter to liquidate inventory, which caused lower margins. In the current fiscal year, the Company is not liquidating inventory and is focusing on stabilizing margins. Net product revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 39.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 51.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The Company provides services to its joint ventures under Master Services agreements that are classified as related party revenue. On December 1, 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 50% equity interest in ModCloth; as a result ModCloth became a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company, and the results of ModCloth are consolidated into the results of the Company. As such, the decrease in revenue from related parties is due to ModCloth's revenue being recorded in product revenue starting in the first quarter of 2023, as compared to being recorded in revenue from related parties in the same quarter last year. Net service revenue from related parties as a percentage of total revenue was 7.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 14.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from January 5, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepareaccounting for the Initial Public Offering, described below,joint ventures using the equity method fair value option.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We prepare and subsequentpresent our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance, as these measures are regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. This non-GAAP measure is not intended to be a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the Initial Public Offering, identifyingsame industry.

We calculate and define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted to exclude: (1) interest expense, (2) income tax expense, (3) depreciation and amortization, (4) severance pay and (5) stock based compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA is a target company for a Business Combination.financial measure that is not required by or presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We do not expect to generate anybelieve that Adjusted EBITDA, when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating revenues until after the completionperformance and facilitates internal comparisons of our Business Combination, athistorical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook. In particular, we believe that the earliest. We will generate

We will incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accountingour business and auditing compliance),evaluating our operating performance, as well as for due diligence expenses.
Forinternal planning and forecasting purposes.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include that (1) it does not reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future, (2) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures, (3) it does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us and (4) does not include certain

non-recurring cash expenses that we do not believe are representative of our business on a steady-state basis. In addition, our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial measures, including our net loss and other results stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary requirements for short-term liquidity and capital are working capital, inventory management, capital expenditures, public company costs and general corporate needs. We expect these needs to continue as we develop and grow our business. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our levels of revenue, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, successful customer acquisitions, the results of business initiatives, the timing of new product introductions and overall economic conditions.

Prior to the Business Combination, the Company’s available liquidity and operations were financed through equity contributions, a line of credit, promissory notes and cash flow from operations. Moving forward, the Company expects to fund operations through equity contributions and cash flow from operations.

Because we are in the growth stage of our business and operate in anemerging field of technology, we expect to continue to invest in research and development and expand our sales and marketing teams worldwide. We are likely to require additional capital to respond to technological advancements, competitive dynamics or technologies, customer demands, business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances and in either the short-term or long-term may determine to engage in equity or debt financings or enter into credit facilities for other reasons. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $561,479, which consisted of formation and operating costs of $864,182 and provision for income taxes of $9,909, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $312,612.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $1,741,347, which consisted of formation and operating costs of $2,067,362 and provision for income taxes of $9,909, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $335,924.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net income of $1.
For the period from January 5, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $999, which consisted of formation and operating costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On August 2, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 9,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000. On August 2, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise their over-allotment option. As such, on August 4, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 2,807,868 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, and the sale of an additional 982,754 Private Placement Warrants, at $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $29,061,434.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the sale of the Private Placement Units, and the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters, a total of $231,499,860 ($10.15 per Unit) was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $13,056,080 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $4,561,574 of underwriting fees, $7,982,754 of deferred underwriting fees and $511,752 of other costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $677,035. Net loss of $1,741,347 was affected by the interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $335,924 and changes in operating assets and liabilities which provided $1,400,236 of cash for operating activities.
For the period from January 5, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021, cash provided by operating activities was $1. Net loss of $999 was affected by changes in operating liabilities which provided $1,000 of cash for operating activities.
We intend to use the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we will repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants upon consummation of the Business Combination at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
On February 9, 2022, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company $300,000 pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note, and on MayMarch 31, 2022, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an additional $100,000 pursuant to the New Promissory Note.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking
in-depth
due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may2023 have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s ASU
2014-15,
“Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by February 2, 2023, thenbeen prepared assuming the Company will cease allcontinue as a going concern. The Company has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations exceptand had a cash balance of $0.6 million as of March 31, 2023.

Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raiseyear ended December 31, 2022, expressed substantial doubt about the Company’sour ability to continue as a going concern. Noconcern for at least twelve months from the date that such consolidated financial statements were issued.

In March 2023, the Company did not timely make the payment of the accrued interest on the Convertible Notes due on March 1, 2023 of $2.3 million, resulting in a default. On March 26, 2023, the Company, the Notes Guarantors and Holders entered into the Waivers pursuant to which, among other things, each Holder agreed to (i) waive the Specified Default and any payment obligation of the Company under the Indenture with respect to the March Interest Payment, (ii) in lieu of the Interest Payments, (a) receive a Promissory Note or Convertible Promissory Note, as applicable, and (b) amend the Warrant Agreement to reduce the exercise price of the warrants governed thereby from $11.50 to $0.01, and (iii) consent to the entry into the Supplemental Indenture. The Supplemental Indenture, among other things, lowered the minimum amounts of liquidity the Company must maintain on a consolidated basis for each quarter in 2023 and the first quarter of 2024.

In April 2023, the Company completed a registered public offering of common stock and common warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $22 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses.

In addition, the Company is currently executing on various strategies to improve available cash balances, liquidity and cash generated from operations, including strategic growth plans, ongoing comprehensive cost reduction and performance improvement programs,

37


reduced headcount and elimination of certain discretionary and general and administrative expenses, and taking steps to improve the operational efficiency of our fulfillment operations. With these strategies in place, the Company believes it will be able to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months.

Indebtedness

Convertible Notes and Indenture

On April 19, 2022, the Company, the Notes Guarantors and the Subscribers entered into the PIPE Subscription Agreements pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Subscribers immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination (i) up to an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million of Convertible Notes at the par value of the notes and (ii) up to an aggregate of 1.5 million PIPE Warrants with each whole PIPE Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock.

On August 26, 2022, immediately prior to the Closing, the Company issued $65.5 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes and, as contemplated by the PIPE Subscription Agreements, the Company, the Note Guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, entered into the Indenture. The Convertible Notes were offered in a private placement under the Securities Act, pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements. The Convertible Notes will mature on September 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms, and will accrue interest at a rate of 7.00% per annum, payable in cash. The Convertible Notes may be converted at any time (in whole or in part) into shares of Common Stock, at the option of the holder of such Convertible Note, based on the applicable conversion rate at such time. The initial conversion price is approximately $11.50 per share of Common Stock, based on an initial conversion rate of 86.9565 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes. For conversions with a conversion date on or after the first anniversary of the closing of the Transactions and prior to the regular record date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the conversion consideration will also include an interest make-whole payment equal to the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the Convertible Note being converted through the Maturity Date. The Company will be able to elect to make such interest make-whole payment in cash or in Common Stock, subject to certain conditions. The conversion rate is subject to adjustments set forth in the Indenture, including conversion rate resets (x) on August 27, 2023, September 26, 2023 and September 26, 2024 and (y) following the consummation of certain equity and equity-linked offerings by the Company and sales of certain equity and equity-linked securities by certain shareholders of the Company. Each holder of a Convertible Note will have the right to cause the Post-Combination Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of the Convertible Notes held by such holder upon the occurrence of a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) at a price equal to (i) on or before September 26, 2023, 100% of the original principal amount of such Convertible Note, and (ii) from and after September 26, 2023, 100% of the accreted principal amount applicable at such time pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Indenture includes restrictive covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a minimum level of liquidity on a consolidated basis and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness above certain thresholds or to issue preferred stock, to make certain restricted payments, to dispose of certain material assets and engage in other asset sales, subject to reinvestment rights, to pay certain advisory fees in connection to the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by the PIPE Subscription Agreements above a certain threshold, and other customary covenants with respect to the collateral securing the obligations created by the Convertible Notes and the Indenture, including the entry into security documents (in each case, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture); provided that the covenants with respect to (i) the making of restricted payments, (ii) the incurrence of indebtedness, (iii) the disposition of certain material assets and asset sales, (iv) liquidity, (v) the payment of advisory fees and (vi) the collateral securing the obligations created by the Convertible Notes and the Indenture shall terminate once less than 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes are outstanding. The liquidity covenant would terminate if the Company achieves $175 million in consolidated revenue in the preceding four fiscal quarters. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries will serve as Notes Guarantors that jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantee the obligations under the Convertible Notes and the Indenture. The Indenture also requires certain future subsidiaries of the Post-Combination Company, if any, to become Notes Guarantors. This covenant will terminate once less than 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes are outstanding. The Indenture also includes customary events of default and related provisions for potential acceleration of the Convertible Notes.

The Company did not timely make the payment of the accrued interest on the Convertible Notes due on March 1, 2023, resulting in a default. Such default for thirty (30) consecutive days of the payment on interest due constitutes an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture).

On March 26, 2023, the Company, the Notes Guarantors and Holders entered into limited waivers and consents pursuant to which each holder agreed to (i) waive the Specified Default and any payment obligation of the Company under the Indenture with respect to the March Interest Payment, (ii) in lieu of the Interest Payments, (a) receive a Promissory Note (as defined below) and (b) amend the Warrant Agreement (as defined below) to reduce the exercise price of the warrants governed thereby from $11.50 to $0.01, and (iii) consent to the entry into the Supplemental Indenture.

The Supplemental Indenture, among other things, (i) lowered the minimum amounts of liquidity the Company must maintain on a consolidated basis for each quarter in 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, (ii) added restrictions on the Company's ability to make

38


payments relating to certain restricted investments, (iii) decreased the maximum amount of equity interests that the Company may repurchase, redeem, acquire or retire, (iv) removed the Company's ability to issue preferred stock or incur certain unsecured indebtedness or junior lien indebtedness, (v) decreased other permitted debt baskets, (vi) decreased the threshold for a cross-default for purposes of determining an Event of Default and (vii) added a new Event of Default in the event the Company does not consummate an underwritten primary equity offering providing at least $10 million of proceeds to the Company by April 30, 2023.

On March 26, 2023, the Company, the Notes Guarantors and each holder of the Convertible Notes executed unsecured promissory notes, with each 2023 Promissory Note having an aggregate principal amount equal to such holder's interest payments. The 2023 Promissory Notes mature on March 26, 2025 and accrue interest at seven percent per annum (7.0%).

In addition, the 2023 Promissory Notes provide that, in the event the Company consummates the April 2023 Offering by April 30, 2023, the holder of each 2023 Promissory Note has the option to require the Company to prepay a portion of the principal balance of the 2023 Promissory Note in an amount equal to or less than the gross proceeds to the Company from any purchases by the Holder of the Company's securities in the April 2023 Offering. Each holder may exercise its Put Option within ten business days following the closing and funding of the April 2023 Offering. In addition, certain of the 2023 Promissory Notes provide such holders with the right to convert the Promissory Note into unregistered securities of the Company on the same terms as the securities offered in the April 2023 Offering in the event such offering takes place.

Notes Payable

On August 11, 2021, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Note Agreement”) with a financial institution that provided for a borrowing commitment of $15 million in the form of promissory notes. In August 2021, the Company borrowed $10 million under the first tranche (“First Tranche Notes”). The Note Agreement had a commitment for additional second tranche borrowings of $5 million through June 30, 2022 (“Second Tranche Notes”). In October 2021 the Company borrowed the remaining $5 million committed under the Note Agreement. The borrowings under the Note Agreement were secured by substantially all assets of the Company.

The First Tranche Notes and Second Tranche Notes were due to mature on September 1, 2026 and November 1, 2026, respectively, and bore interest at a rate per annum of 6.25% plus the greater of 3.25% or the prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal. The Company was required to make interest-only payments on the first of each month beginning October 1, 2021 and December 1, 2021, respectively. Beginning October 1, 2023 and December 1, 2023, respectively, the Company would have been maderequired to make principal payments of $278 thousand and $139 thousand, respectively, plus accrued interest on the first of each month through maturity. Upon payment in full of the First Tranche Notes and Second Tranche Notes, the Company was required to pay exit fees of $600 thousand and $300 thousand, respectively.

In December 2021, the Company borrowed an additional $1 million from the same financial institution, which was repaid in full on December 31, 2021. In addition, the Company borrowed an additional $5 million (“Third Tranche Notes”) that bore interest at a rate per annum of 6.25% plus the greater of 3.25% or the prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal.

In connection with the Note Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 33,357 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Legacy Liability Warrants”) at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (Note 8). On the date of issuance, the Company recorded the fair value of the Legacy Liability Warrants as a discount to the First Tranche Notes which was being amortized into interest expense over the term of the First Tranche Notes using the effective interest method. The issuance costs were deferred over the repayment term of the debt. Deferred issuance costs relate to the Company’s debt instruments, the short-term and long-term portions are reflected as a deduction from the carrying amountsamount of assets or liabilities shouldthe related debt.

In addition, the Company beissued additional notes payable in July 2022 for proceeds of $3.0 million. Such notes payable matured on the earlier of (a) December 31, 2022 or (b) the close of the Business Combination. The amount due at maturity was $4.5 million. The Company elected to account for the additional notes payable under the fair value option of accounting.

The notes payable were repaid at the closing of the Business Combination.

Promissory Notes

Upon

39

Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily driven by the activities associated with our CaaS revenue stream, offset by the cash cost of operations, and are significantly influenced by the timing of and fluctuations in receipts from buyers and related payments to our clients. We typically receive cash from the end users of products sold prior to remitting back to our clients. Our collection and payment cycles can vary from period to period. In addition, seasonality may impact cash flows from operating activities on a sequential quarterly basis during the year.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities increased by $17.0 million to $22.3 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $5.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The primary driver of the change was the timing of payment for clients and vendors.

Investing Activities

Our primary investing activities have consisted of purchases of property and equipment and software.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities decreased by $83 thousand to $18 thousand compared to net cash used in investing activities of $101 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The primary driver of the decrease was cash used in the prior year in equipment purchases.

Financing Activities

Our financing activities consisted primarily of borrowings and repayments of debt as well as activity related to the Business Combination.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities increased by $3.8 million to $7.5 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change was primarily driven by the proceeds from the Loans.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of condensedOur Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, and related disclosureswhich have been prepared in conformityaccordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United StatesU.S. (“GAAP”). The preparation of Americathese financial statements requires managementus to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and liabilities,expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We regularly review our estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions, which are based upon historical experience and on various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Reported amounts and disclosures may have been different had management used different estimates and assumptions or if different conditions had occurred in the periods presented. Below is a discussion of the policies that we believe may involve a high degree of judgment and complexity.

We believe that the accounting policies disclosed below include estimates and assumptions critical to our business and their application could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In addition to these critical policies, our significant accounting policies are included within Note 2 of our “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included elsewhere in this filing.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not bear interest, and primarily represent receivables from consumers and credit card receivables from merchant processors, after performance obligations have been fulfilled. Amounts collected on accounts receivable are included in operating activities in the statements of cash flows.

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses, as deemed necessary, for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In estimating this reserve, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any customers with off-balance-sheet credit exposure. The Company writes off accounts receivable balances once the receivables are no longer deemed collectible.

Fair value measurements

Joint Ventures

The Company accounts for joint ventures in accordance with ASC 810-10, “Consolidations,” ASC 323-10, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures” and ASC 825-10, “Finance Instruments,” under which the Company’s joint ventures meet the criteria to be accounted for as an equity method investment using the fair value method. As such, the difference between fair value and cash contribution is recorded as a gain to other income in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The joint ventures are subject to fair value assessment each reporting period and the changes in fair value is booked to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. In valuing joint venture investments, we utilized the valuation from an independent third-party specialist, with input from management, which used a combination of net income and market approaches, with 50% weight to the discounted cash flow method and 25% weigh to each of the guideline public company and transaction methods. Changes in these estimates and assumptions or the relationship between those assumptions impact our valuation as of the valuation date and may have a material impact on the valuation.

Convertible notes

The Company accounts for the Convertible Notes in accordance with ASC 825-10, "Financial Instruments," under which the Convertible Notes meet the criteria to be accounted for using the fair value method. The Convertible Notes are subject to fair value assessment each reporting period. As such, changes to fair value are recorded in the consolidated income statements to change in fair value of the Convertible Notes. In valuing the Convertible Notes, we utilized the valuation from an independent third-party specialist, which uses a binomial lattice valuation model. Changes in these estimates and assumptions or the relationship between those assumptions impact our valuation as of the valuation date and may have a material impact on the valuation.

Standby Agreement

The Company has entered into a Standby Agreement and the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement with a Financial Institution (Note 8) which is accounted for as a derivative in its entirety in accordance with ASC 815-10, and the structured payments within the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement was considered an embedded feature in the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement that met the definition of a derivative and required bifurcation from the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement, as it is not clearly and closely related to the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement and would be accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-10 (together the “Standby Agreement Derivative"). The Company accounted for the Standby Agreement Derivative acquired at fair value upon the closing of the Business Combination. The Company will continue to account for the Standby Agreement Derivative at fair value each reporting period in accordance with ASC 815-10. The Company engages a third-party valuation specialist to assist with the fair value assessment. The fair value changes is recorded in change in fair value of derivatives on the consolidated statements of operations.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own shares of common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be

41


recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter until settlement. Changes in the financialestimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the condensed consolidated statements and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We accountof operations.

Revenue

Revenue is accounted for our common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance inusing Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities606, Revenue from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either withinContracts with Customers.

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the holderpromised goods or subjectservices is transferred to redemption upon the occurrenceCompany’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

Identification of uncertain events not solely within our control)a contract with a customer,
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract,
Determination of the transaction price,
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and
Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

A performance obligation is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rightsa promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods that will be transferred that are consideredboth capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Performance obligations include establishing and maintaining customer online stores, providing access to be outsidethe Company’s e-commerce platform, customer service support, photography services, warehousing, and fulfillment. The Company has concluded the sale of goods and related shipping and handling on behalf of our controlcustomers are accounted for as a single performance obligation, while the expenses incurred for actual shipping charges are included in cost of sales.

The Company’s revenue is mainly commission fees derived from contractually committed gross revenue processed by customers on the Company’s e-commerce platform. Customers do not have the contractual right to take possession of the Company’s software. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to ultimately receive in exchange for those promised goods, net of expected discounts for sales promotions and subjectcustomary allowances.

Commerce-as-a-Service Revenue is recognized on a net basis from maintaining e-commerce platforms and online orders, as the Company is engaged primarily in an agency relationship with its customers and earns defined amounts based on the individual contractual terms for the customer and the Company does not take possession of the customers’ inventory or any credit risks relating to occurrencethe products sold.

Variable consideration is included in revenue for potential product returns. The Company uses a reserve to constrain revenue for the expected variable consideration at each period end. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subjectvariable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and expected levels of returns. Any uncertainties in the ultimate resolution of variable consideration due to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity,factors outside of the stockholders’ (deficit) equity sectionCompany’s influence are typically resolved within a short timeframe therefore not requiring any additional constraint on the variable consideration.

Payment terms and conditions are generally consistent for customers, including credit terms to customers ranging from seven days to 60 days, and the Company’s contracts do not include any significant financing component. The Company performs credit evaluations of our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Net Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per common share is computed by dividingcustomers and evaluates the need for allowances for potential credit losses based on historical experience, as well as current and expected general economic conditions.

Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We apply the

two-class
method in calculating earnings per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock isbasis and, therefore, are excluded from net loss per sharesales in the statements of operations.

Commerce-as-a-Service

The Company’s main revenue stream is “Commerce-as-a-Service” revenue in which they receive commission fees derived from contractually committed gross revenue processed by customers on the Company’s e-commerce platform. Consideration for online sales is collected directly from the shopper by the Company and amounts not owed to the Company are remitted to the client. Revenue is recognized on a net basis from maintaining e-commerce platforms and online orders, as the redemption value approximates fair value.
