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, 20182022 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 a stockholder votethe underwriters’ election to amendfully exercise their over-allotment option, the Company’s certificateCompany consummated the sale of incorporationan additional 1,950,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit.

Dissolution of Trust Account; Delisting and Deregistration of Securities

Pursuant to modify the substance or timingCharter, on March 31, 2020, the Company began the process of liquidating and distributing to its obligation to redeem 100%public stockholders their pro rata portion of such shares of common stock if it does not complete the Initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing (“Combination Period”); and (iii) 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. On August 23, 2021, we distributed the remaining restricted cash pro rata, to our former public stockholders in the amount of $129,957. The restricted cash balance represented the unused portion of our dissolution allowance and allowance for taxes.

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, 2022, the Public Shares, subject to adjustment as described above, elect to convert their shares toCompany had a full or pro-rata portioncash balance of the amount held in the Trust Account$63 and a majorityworking capital deficit of the outstanding shares of common stock voted, are voted in favor of the Business Combination.$904,807

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. The Initial StockholderCompany’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 holdersCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of Private Units will not participate in any redemption distribution with respect to their initial shares and Private Units, including the common stock included in the Private Units.

Ifassets or liabilities should the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination and expends all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering not deposited in the Trust Account, without taking into account any interest earned on the Trust Account, the Company expects that the initial per-share redemption price for common stock will be $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to claims of the Company’s creditors that are in preference to the claims of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, if the Company is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of the Company’s common stockholders. Therefore, the actual per-share redemption price may be less than approximately $10.00.liquidate after June 30, 2022.

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 aremaining 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.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Deferred Offering Costs

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 income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact 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 returnsheld 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 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception, The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.Trust Account was fully liquidated.

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such expense as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.

Net LossIncome (Loss) Per Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “EarningsEarnings Per Share.Share.” Net lossincome per share is computed by dividing net lossincome applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding duringfor the period. At June 30, 2018,The Company has not considered the Company did not have any dilutive securitieseffect of the warrants and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then sharerights sold in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 16,854,750 Public Shares in the calculation of diluted earnings of the Companyper share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted lossearnings per share is the same as basic lossearnings per share for the periods presented.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.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.

Notes

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 Financial Statementsmaximize 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:

(unaudited)

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.

Since the offering, our activity has been limitedliquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $27,250 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, 2022, we had a working capital deficit of $904,807. 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 until the closing and completion ofsuccessful. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our initial business combination. We expectability 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.

We incurred offering costs of approximately $340,000 as of June 30, 2018 with regard to the Initial Public Offering, which are classified as deferred offering costs on the unaudited condensed balance sheet.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Administrative Service Fee

The Company presently occupies office space provided by an entity controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Such entity has agreed that until the Company consummates a Business Combination, it will make such office space, as well as general and administrative services including utilities and administrative support, available to the Company as may betime period required by the CompanyCharter 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 time to time.those estimates. The Company has agreedidentified the following critical accounting policy:

The company has determined there are no critical accounting policies or estimates in the periods covered in this report.

Critical Accounting Estimate

An accounting estimate where (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to pay an aggregatethe levels of $12,500 per monthsubjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such services commencingmatters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material.

Critical Accounting Policies and Practices

A company’s accounting policies and practices that are both most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results, and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering.Company’s financial statements.

 

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. The holders of the Private Units (or underlying shares of common stock) are entitled to demand that the Company register these securities at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Stockholder and holders of the Private Units (or underlying shares of common stock) have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed after the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination. 


Promissory Notes — Related Party

The Company issued two notes totaling $30,000 in unsecured promissory notes to Eric S. Rosenfeld, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in 2017. 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 Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 3, 2018 and July 12, 2018, respectively.

 

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, 2022 and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.December 31, 2021.

 

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, 2018,2022, and December 31, 2021, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk.  Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the trust account, 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, 2018,2022, 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-Q2022 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 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, 2022. 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.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. The foregoing issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). Mr. Rosenfeld thereafter transferred such shares to our other shareholders prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “initial stockholders”). In April 2018, our initial stockholders contributed to our capital for no additional consideration an aggregate of 575,000 shares, resulting in our initial stockholders holding an aggregate of 3,737,500 shares of common stock.

 

On July 6, 20187,2018, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 14,950,000 units, including 1,950,000 units subject to the underwriters’ overallotmentover-allotment option. The units sold in the Initial Public Offering, including pursuant to the over-allotment option, were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $149,500,000. Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. acted as the sole book running manager for the Initial Public Offering. Chardan Capital Markets LLC acted as lead manager. of the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333- 225270). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on July 2, 2018.

 

Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 372,500 units (“Private Units”) to our initial stockholders at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $3,725,000. This issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

The Private Units are identical to the units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except the warrants included in the Private Units are nonredeemable,non-redeemable, may be exercised on a cashless basis, and may be exercisable for unregistered shares of common stock if the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not current and effective, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the sponsor or its permitted transferees. The holders of the Private Units have agreed (A) to vote the common stock included in the Private Units (“Private Shares”) in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to convert any Private Shares into the right to receive cash from the trust account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination or sell any Private Shares to us in a tender offer in connection with a proposed initial business combination and (C) that such Private Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated within the required time period. Additionally, the holders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units (except to certain permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of an initial business combination.

 

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and private placement of Private Units, $149,500,000 was placed in a trust account.

 

Total offering costs amounted to $8,725,551,$8,513,427, consisting of $5,622,500 of deferred underwriting discount, $2,600,000 of underwriting fees and $503,051$290,927 of other costs. In addition, $766,268 of cash was held outside

Pursuant to the Charter, all outstanding shares of the useCompany’s common stock that were included in the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) were redeemed at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.30 per Public Share. On August 23, 2021, we distributed the proceeds generatedremaining restricted cash pro rata, to our former public stockholders in the amount of $129,957.
