Note 1 — Organization and Plan of Business Operations

 

Allegro Merger Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 7, 2017 as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”).

 

At June 30, 2018, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 20182021 relates to the Company’s formation, and the proposedCompany’s initial public offering of units (“Initial Public Offering”) described below.

below and, since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination.

 

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 2, 2018. On July 6, 2018, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 14,950,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), including 1,950,000 unitsUnits issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ overallotment option, generating gross proceeds of $149,500,000, which is described in Note 3. Each Unit consisted of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrants”) and one right (the “Rights”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (see Note 7). Each Right entitles the holder to receive one tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon the completion of a Business Combination.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 372,500 units (“Private Units”), at a price of $10.00 per unitPrivate Unit in a private placement to certain holders of the Company’s founder shares (“Initial Stockholders”)Stockholders (defined below), Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Chardan Capital Markets LLC (the(collectively, the “Insiders”), generating gross proceeds of $3,725,000, (“Private Units”), which is described in Note 4.

 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on July 6, 2018, an amount of $149,500,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and will bewas invested in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes, having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination (ii) the redemption of any shares of common stock included in the Units being sold that have been properly tenderedAct.

On July 6, 2018, in connection with the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 1,950,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit.

Proposed Business Combination

On November 8, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Allegro Merger Sub, Inc., a stockholder voteDelaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, TGIF Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), TGIF Midco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Midco”), and Rohit Manocha, solely in his capacity as the initial representative of the equityholders of Holdings and Midco.

On March 31, 2020, the Company and Holdings mutually determined, due to amendextraordinary market conditions and the failure to meet necessary closing conditions, to terminate the Merger Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on March 26, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“Charter”) to modifyextend the substance or timingtime by which the Company has to complete an initial business combination from March 31, 2020 to April 30, 2020. However, in light of the termination of the Merger Agreement and due to extraordinary market conditions, the Company determined on March 31, 2020 that it would not so amend its obligationCharter.

Dissolution of such sharesTrust Account; Delisting and Deregistration of common stock if it does not completeSecurities

Pursuant to the Initial Business Combination within 18 months fromCharter, on March 31, 2020, the closing (“Combination Period”);Company began the process of liquidating and (iii)distributing to its public stockholders their pro rata portion of the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the prescribed time. Placing funds contained in the Trust Account, may not protect those funds from third party claims againstincluding interest earned on the Company. Althoughamounts on deposit, less amounts that be released to the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such agreements. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has agreed that he will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered, contracted for or products sold to the Company. There can be no assurance that he will be able to satisfy those obligations should they arise. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for franchise and income taxes and up to $125,000$100,000 of interest on an annual basis for working capital purposes to pay Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) continued listing fees, auditor fees, and trust/custodian administration fees.

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 Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

Notes to Financial Statements

(unaudited)

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, is required to provide stockholders who acquired shares of common stock sold as part of the units in this offering (“Public Shares”) with the opportunity to convert their Public Shares for a pro rata share of the Trust Account. In the event that stockholders owning up to approximately 93.33% or more of the Public Shares exercise their conversion rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated. The actual percentages, however, will only be able to be determined once a target business is located and the Company can assess all of the assets and liabilities of the combined company upon consummation of the Business Combination, subject to the requirement that the Company must have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon close of such Business Combination. As a result, the actual percentages of shares that can be convertedwhich may be significantly lower than the above estimates. The Initial Stockholder will agree to vote any shares they then hold in favor of any Business Combination and will waive any conversion rights with respect to these shares and the shares included in the Private Units pursuant to letter agreements to be executed prior to the Initial Public Offering.

In connection with any Business Combination, the Company will seek stockholder approval of an initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which Public Stockholders may seek to convert their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval of an initial Business Combination, any Public Stockholder voting either for or against such Business Combination will be entitled to demand that his Public Shares be converted into a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company or necessary to pay its taxes). Holders of warrants and rights sold as partdissolution expenses. On April 21, 2020, all of the Unitspublic shares were redeemed at a per share redemption price of $10.30. As of June 30, 2021, we have an aggregate of $129,956 of restricted cash in connection with the unused portion of our dissolution allowance and allowance for taxes. We expect to distribute such amount, pro rata, to our former public stockholders. 

An aggregate of approximately $781,700 of loans made by the initial stockholders to the Company in connection with extensions of time to complete an initial business will not be entitled to vote on the Business Combinationrepaid and will have no conversion or liquidationbe forgiven if we are unable to consummate a business combination and determine to liquidate and dissolve.

The initial stockholders waived their redemption rights with respect to the common stock issued prior to the Company’s initial public offering and the common stock underlying the Private Units. Accordingly, such initial stockholders did not participate in the redemption and an aggregate of 4,110,000 shares of common stock underlying suchremain outstanding. Additionally, the Company’s rights and warrants or rights.remain outstanding.

 

The Company will consummateOn April 20, 2020, Nasdaq filed a Business Combination only if holdersForm 25 to delist and deregister the units, common stock, rights, and warrants. Such securities were delisted from Nasdaq as of less than approximately 93.33% due to the full exerciseApril 30, 2020 and deregistered under Section 12(b) of the overallotment optionExchange Act as of July 9, 2020.

Going Concern

As of June 30, 2021, the Public Shares, subject to adjustment as described above, elect to convert their shares toCompany had a full or pro-rata portioncash and restricted cash balance of the amount held in the Trust Account$1,372 and $129,956, respectively and a majorityworking capital deficit of the outstanding shares of common stock voted, are voted in favor of the Business Combination.$712,294.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company will provide that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate or other person with whom such Public Stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to an aggregate of more than 20% of the Public Shares (but only with respect to the amount over 20% of the Public Shares). A “group” will be deemed to exist if Public Stockholders (i) file a Schedule 13D or 13G indicated.

Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be in effect upon consummation of the Initial Public Offering, if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within 18 months from the date of the Initial Public Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining holders of common stock and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate. If the Company is unable to consummate an initial Business Combination and is forced to redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, any holder that voted against the last Business Combination prior to such redemption will only receive $10.00 per share, while any holder that voted in favor of the last Business Combination prior to such redemption will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company or necessary to pay any of its taxes. Holders of warrants will receive no proceedsIn addition, in connection with the liquidation. 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 the liquidity, mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises 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 liquidate after June 30, 2021.

Therefore,stock in the actual per-share redemption price may be less than approximately $10.00.manner contemplated by ASC 815-40-15 because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares.

 

As a result of the foregoing, the Company corrected certain line items related to the previously audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 in the Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on August 16, 2021, The corrections are related to misstatements identified in improperly applying accounting guidance on warrants, recognizing them as components of equity instead of a derivative warrant liability under the guidance of ASC 815-40. As of December 31, 2020, our warrant liability increased from $0 to $117, additional paid-in capital decreased from ($3,607,240) to ($16,821,461), and retained earnings increased from $2,914,742 to $16,123,791. For three and six months ended June 30,2021, the change in value of our warrant liability was $0 and $77.

The Company’s accounting for the warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities did not have any effect on the Company’s previously reported assets.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensedconsolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 20182021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s final prospectus and CurrentAnnual Report on Form 8-K10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on July 3, 2018 and July 12, 2018, respectively.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (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 auditor 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 shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

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

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Deferred Offering CostsCommon stock subject to possible redemption

 

Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting, and other costs incurred through June 30, 2018 that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering and were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (see Note 3).

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for its common stock shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemptions (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity.


Allegro Merger Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)

At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Upon redemption, we were required to distribute to the public stockholders their pro rata portion of the funds contained in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the amounts on deposit, less amounts that may be released to the Company to pay franchise and income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requiresand up to $100,000 of interest which may be released to the recognitionCompany to pay dissolution expenses. Accordingly, during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2021, pursuant to the Charter, all outstanding Public Shares were redeemed on April 21, 2020 at a per share redemption price of deferred tax assets and liabilities for bothapproximately $10.30 per Public Share. On June 30, 2021, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the expected impactstockholders’ equity section of differences between the 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. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements asbalance sheets. As of June 30, 20182021, we have an aggregate of $129,956 of restricted cash in connection with the unused portion of our dissolution allowance and December 31, 2017. allowance for taxes.

Warrant Liability

Net LossIncome (Loss) Per Share

The Company’s consolidated statements of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, basic and diluted for Public Shares is calculated dividing the net loss of (15,075) and ($20,128), reduced by the investment income on the trust, change in warrant liability and other income of $38,609 and $38,686 respectively, by the weighted average number of Public Shares outstanding during the period. All outstanding Public Shares were redeemed. The Founder and Private Placement shares are calculated separately from the Public Shares as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, Fair“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet,sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 


Allegro Merger Corp.

Notes to Financial Statements

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

 

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

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants is not effective within 20 business days from the consummation of a Business Combination, the holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis. The Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except the Placement Warrants are exercisable for cash (even if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such Placement Warrants is not effective) or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and not redeemable by the Company, in each case so long as they are still held by the original purchasers or their affiliates.

The Company may call the Warrants for redemption (excluding the Placement Warrants but including any outstanding Warrants issued upon exercise of the unit purchase option issued to its underwriter), in whole and not in part, at a price of $.01 per Warrant:

-upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Warrant holder,

-if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the shares of common stock (or the closing bid price of our common stock in the event shares of our common stock are not traded on any specific day) equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to Warrant holders, and

-if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such Warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day redemption period and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.

If the Company calls the Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights. Accordingly, the Rights may expire worthless.Warrants.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Overview

 

We are a blank check company incorporated on August 7, 2017 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“business combination”). We are not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. Our sponsors include Leonard Schlemm, Eric Rosenfeld, David Sgro, Adam Jaffe, Gregory Monahan, Adam Semler, Robert Deluce, Michael Deluce, John Schauerman, Daniel Ryan, Eric Rosen, Stephen Lack, Michael Price, and Emanuel E. Geduld.business combination.

 

We consummated our initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) on July 6, 2018.

Results of Operations

 

Our entire activity since inception wasFor the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $15,075, which consisted of operating costs of $53,684 and other income of $38,609. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had net loss of $20,128, which consisted of operating costs of $58,814, offset by investment income and change in preparationvalue of warrant liability of $38,609 and $77.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had a net income of $796,135, which consisted of other income of $18,340 and change in fair value of the warrants of $777,795. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had net income of $2,822,423, which consisted of operating costs of $254,916, offset by investment income on the trust and other income and change in value of warrant liability of $374,507 and $2,772,418, offset by an income tax provision of $69,586.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We presently have no revenue; our net loss of $20,128 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 consists primarily of operating expenses. Through June 30, 2021, our Initial Public Offering, which was consummated on July 6, 2018. Since the offering, our activity has been limitedliquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $55,000 in loans made to the search forcompany.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a prospectivegoing concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2021, we had a working capital deficit of $712,294. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans. Our plans to raise capital or to consummate the initial business combination and we willmay not be generating any operating revenues untilsuccessful. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the closingforegoing, we currently do not have sufficient cash and completion ofworking capital to meet our needs through the mandatory liquidation date unless our initial business combination. We expectstockholders provide us additional funds for our working capital needs, or we obtain other financing.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to incur increased expensescontinue as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. We expect our expenses to increase substantially after this period.going concern.

 

For the period from August 7, 2017 (inception) through June 30, 2018, we had a cumulative net loss of $1,038, which consist of formation and operational costs.


Off-balance sheet financing arrangements

We incurred offering costs of approximately $340,000did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2018 with regard2021 and December 31, 2020.

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

As discussed above, we entered into an agreement to pay an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer an aggregate monthly fee of $12,500 for office space and office and administrative support provided to the Initial Public Offering, whichCompany. The company and the affiliate have agreed to suspend payment on this agreement on March 31, 2020.

We have engaged our underwriters as advisors in connection an initial business combination to assist us in holding meetings with our shareholders to discuss the potential business combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce us to potential investors that are interested in purchasing our securities, assist us in obtaining shareholder approval for the business combination and assist us with our press releases and public filings in connection with the business combination. The Underwriting Agreement provided that a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds of the initial public offering, excluding the over-allotment option, and 5.5% of the gross proceeds of the over-allotment option, or $5,622,500 in the aggregate (“Deferred Underwriting Discount”) would only be payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completed its initial Business Combination. As previously indicated, the Company was unable to consummate its initial business combination in the time period required by the Charter and, accordingly, distributed the proceeds held in the Trust Account to public stockholders. As a result, the Deferred Underwriting Discount is no longer owed.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

Common stock subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemptions (if any) is classified as deferred offering costs ona liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the unaudited condensed balance sheet.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As indicated in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, at June 30, 2018, we had $8,698 in cash and a working capital deficiency of approximately $316,000. Upon closingcontrol of the Initial Public Offering, we had approximately $766,000 in cash heldholder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Trust Account.

SubsequentCompany’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Upon redemption, we were required to distribute to the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report, on July 6, 2018,public stockholders their pro rata portion of the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 14,950,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the common stock includedfunds contained in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), including 1,950,000 units issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ overallotment option, generating gross proceeds of $149,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 372,500 Private Units, at a price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement to certain holders of the Company’s founder shares (“Initial Stockholders”), Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Chardan Capital Markets LLC (the “Insiders”), generating gross proceeds of $3,725,000.

We will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of our common stock upon the consummation of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account described below,Trust Account, including interest earned on the trust account and not previouslyamounts on deposit, less amounts that may be released to usthe Company to pay our franchise and income taxes as well as up to $125,000 of interest on an annual basis for certain working capital purposes described in this prospectus, divided by the number of then outstanding shares of common stock that were sold as part of the units in this offering, which we refer to as our public shares, subject to the limitations described in this prospectus. If we are unable to consummate a business combination within 18 months from the completion of this offering, we will redeem the public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes, up to $125,000 of interest on an annual basis for certain working capital purposes described in this prospectus, and up to $100,000 of interest which may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses, divided byexpenses. Accordingly, during the numberperiod ended June 30, 2021, pursuant to the Charter, all outstanding Public Shares were redeemed on April 21, 2020 at a per share redemption price of then outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law and as further described herein.


Based on the foregoing,approximately $10.30 per Public Share. As of June 30, 2021, we believe we will have sufficientan aggregate of $129,956 of restricted cash to meet our needs through the earlier of consummation of a business combination or twelve months from the date of this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.

If our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial business combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or the amount of interest available to us from the trust account is less than we expect as a result of the current interest rate environment, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummationunused portion of our initial business combination. Followingdissolution allowance and allowance for taxes. We expect to distribute such amount, pro rata, to our initial business combination,former public stockholders.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if cashcurrently adopted, would have a material effect on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

The Insiders purchased 372,500 Private Units at $10.00 per unit (for an aggregate purchase price of $3,725,000) from the Company simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on July 6, 2018. All of the proceeds received from the sale of the Private Units were placed in the Trust Account. The Private Units are identical to the Units sold in the Public Offering, except that the holders have agreed (i) to vote the shares of common stock included therein in favor of any Business Combination, (ii) not to convert any shares of common stock included therein into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve the initial Business Combination and (iii) that the shares of common stock included therein shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. Additionally, the holders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the units or underlying securities (except to certain permitted transferees) until the completion of the initial Business Combination.

The holders of the Private Units (or underlying shares of common stock) will be entitled to registration rights with respect to the founding shares and the Private Units (or underlying shares of common stock) pursuant to an agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of the majority of the founding shares are entitled to demand that the Company register these shares at any time commencing three months prior to the first anniversary of the consummation of a Business Combination.

On February 5, 2018 the Company issued a $35,000 principal amount unsecured promissory note to Eric S. Rosenfeld. The notes are non-interest bearing and currently payable. Due to the short-term nature of these notes, the fair value of the notes approximates their carrying amount. The Company fully repaid these amounts on July 13, 2018

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instrument and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies as discussed in our final prospectus and CurrentAnnual Report on Form 8-K10-KA filed with the SEC on July 3, 2018 and July 12, 2018, respectively.August 16, 2021.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017 weWe did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-Kof June 30, 2021 and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.December 31, 2020.

 

JOBS Act

 

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

As of June 30, 2018,2021, and December 31, 2020, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the trust account, may be invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in US treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018,2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

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

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended of June 30, 2018 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

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


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.1A. Risk Factors

 

Recent SEC guidance required us to reconsider the accounting of warrants and led us to conclude that our warrants be accounted for as liabilities rather than as equity and such requirement resulted in a restatement of our previously issued financial statements.

On April 12, 2021, the staff of the SEC issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “Statement”). In the Statement, the SEC staff expressed it view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. Since issuance, our warrants were accounted for as equity within our balance sheet, and after discussion and evaluation, including with our independent auditors, we have concluded that our warrants should be presented as liabilities with subsequent and periodic fair value re-measurement. Therefore, we conducted a valuation of our warrants and restated our previously issued financial statements, which resulted in unanticipated costs and diversion of management resources and may result in potential loss of investor confidence. Although we have now completed the restatement, we cannot guarantee that we will have no further inquiries from the SEC or Nasdaq regarding our restated financial statements or matters relating thereto.

Any future inquiries from the SEC or Nasdaq as a result of the restatement of our historical financial statements will, regardless of the outcome, likely consume a significant amount of our resources in addition to those resources already consumed in connection with the restatement itself.

Certain of our warrants are accounted for as warrant liabilities and are recorded at fair value upon issuance with changes in fair value each reporting period to be reported in earnings, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

Following the restatement of our historical financial statements, we account for our public and private warrants as warrant liabilities and recorded at fair value upon issuance with any changes in fair value each reporting period to be reported in earnings as determined by the Company based the available publicly traded warrant price or based on a valuation report obtained from its independent third party valuation firm.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness could continue to adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our management is likewise required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes and material weaknesses identified through such evaluation in those internal controls. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for a significant and unusual transaction related to the warrants we issued in connection with our public and private placements in connection with our IPO. As a result of this material weakness, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of June 30, 2021. This material weakness resulted in a material misstatement of our warrant liabilities, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, additional paid-in capital, accumulated deficit and related financial disclosures.

To respond to this material weakness, we have devoted, and plan to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance these processes to better evaluate our research and understanding of the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.


Any failure to maintain such internal control could adversely impact our ability to report our financial position and results from operations on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our common stock is listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. In either case, there could result a material adverse effect on our business. Failure to timely file will cause us to be ineligible to utilize short form registration statements on Form S-3 or Form S-4, which may impair our ability to obtain capital in a timely fashion to execute our business strategies or issue shares to effect an acquisition. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS FROM REGISTERED SECURITIES

In connection with our organization in August 2017, we issued to Eric Rosenfeld, our Chief Executive Officer, an aggregate of 4,312,500 shares of common stock in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.01 per share.
