The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on March 2, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On March 5, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 22,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceedssame business of $225,000,000, which is discussed in Note 4, and incurred $4,500,000 in cash underwriting fees and $7,875,000 in deferred underwriting fees.

operating bowling entertainment.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 5,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor and LionTree Partners LLC, generating gross proceeds of $7,500,000, which is discussed in Note 5.

The Company granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,375,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On March 10, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 2,983,700 Units (the “Over-allotment Units”), generating an aggregate of gross proceeds of $29,837,000, and incurred $596,742 in cash underwriting fees and $1,044,295 in deferred underwriting fees.

Transaction costs amounted to $14,495,717 consisting of $5,096,742  of underwriting fees, $8,919,295 of deferred underwriting fees, and $479,680 of other offering costs.


Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on March 5, 2021 and the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on March 10, 2021, $254,837,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants and $1,000 overfunded by the Sponsor was placed in a Trust Account, which can only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. $1,000 was overfunded by the Sponsor.  

The Trust Account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of either: (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO (the “Combination Period”) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial Business Combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of the public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law.  

Initial Business Combination

The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest 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 issued and 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 complete a Business Combination successfully.

The Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Sponsor and the Company’s founding team have entered into a letter agreement  with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares (as described in Note 6) and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in connection with (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial Business Combination activity. Additionally, the Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to its founder shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period). If the Company submits the initial Business Combination to the public shareholders for a vote, the Sponsor and each member of the founding team have agreed to vote their founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the initial Business Combination.


The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (excluding the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective partner business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lessor of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay the Company’s tax obligations, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective partner business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, or has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. The Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $1.2 million in its operating bank account and working capital of approximately $1.2 million.

Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company’s liquidity needs had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the Sponsor of $25,000, to cover certain offering costs, for the purchase of founder shares (see Note 6), and a loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of $125,267 (see Note 6). The promissory note from the Sponsor was paid in full on March 15, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO and Private Placement, the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied through the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 6). To date, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, paying for travel expenditures, and consummating the Business Combination with Bowlero.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, cash flows and/or consummation of Bowlero transaction, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2021, management determined it should restate its previously reported financial statements. The Company previously determined the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per Class A ordinary share while also taking into consideration the requirement of the Company’s memorandum and articles of association that a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Upon review of its financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2021, the Company reevaluated the classification of the Class A ordinary shares and determined that the Class A ordinary shares issued during the IPO and pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered outside the Company’s control under ASC 480-10-S99. Therefore, management concluded that the carrying value should include all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, resulting in the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption being classified as temporary equity in its entirety. As a result, management has recorded a reclassification adjustment related to temporary equity and permanent equity. This resulted in an adjustment to the initial carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A ordinary shares.


In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption, the Company also restated its earnings per share calculation to allocate net income (loss) pro rata to Class A and Class B ordinary shares. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of ordinary shares share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company.

Other than a change in amounts classified in temporary and permanent equity and adjustments to earnings per share, there has been no other changes in the Company’s total assets, liabilities or operating results as a result of this reclassification.

The impact of the restatement on the Company’s financial statements is reflected in the following table.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presentedhave been prepared in U.S. dollars in conformityaccordance with accounting principlesU.S. generally accepted in the United States of Americaaccounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of thecertain information and footnotes required by GAAP.footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensedthese financial statements reflectcontain all adjustments, which include onlyconsisting of normal recurring adjustmentsaccruals, necessary forto present fairly the fair statementfinancial position, results of the balancesoperations and resultscash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2021.

The accompanying unaudited condensedindicated. Our quarterly financial statementsdata should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2022, included in theour Annual Report on Form 8-K and the final prospectus10-K as filed by the Company with the SEC on March 12,September 15, 2022.

Reverse Recapitalization: On December 15, 2021, (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (“BCA”) dated as of July 1, 2021, by and March 4, 2021,among Bowlero Corp. prior to the Closing Date (“Old Bowlero”) and Isos Acquisition Corporation (“Isos”).
Notwithstanding the legal form of the Business Combination pursuant to the BCA, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, Isos was treated as the acquired company and Old Bowlero was treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial statement reporting purposes.
The consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the reverse recapitalization are those of the Company, thus the shares and corresponding capital amounts and losses per share, prior to the reverse recapitalization, have been retroactively restated based on shares reflecting the exchange ratio of 24.841 established in the BCA.
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements and related notes include the accounts of Bowlero Corp. and the subsidiaries it controls. Control is determined based on ownership rights or, when applicable, based on whether the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Company’s interest in 20% to 50% owned companies that are not controlled are accounted for using the equity method, unless the Company does not sufficiently influence the management of the investee. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates:    The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the balance sheets, statement of operations and accompanying notes. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, cash flow projections; the fair value of assets and liabilities in acquisitions; derivatives with hedge accounting; share-based compensation; depreciation and impairment of long-lived assets; carrying amount and recoverability analyses of property and equipment, assets held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets; valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and income tax uncertainties; and reserves for litigation, claims and self-insurance costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair-value Estimates:    We have various financial instruments included in our financial statements. Financial instruments are carried in our financial statements at either cost or fair value. We estimate fair value of assets and liabilities using the following hierarchy using the highest level possible:
Level 1:     Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities.
9

Index to Notes


Level 2:    Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but are corroborated by market data.
Level 3:    Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:    The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash equivalents of $78,547 and $88,067 at October 2, 2022 and July 3, 2022, respectively.

The Company accepts a range of debit and credit cards, and these transactions are generally transmitted to a bank for reimbursement within 24 hours. The payments due from the banks for these debit and credit card transactions are generally received, or settled, within 24 to 48 hours of the transmission date. The Company considers all debit and credit card transactions that settle in less than seven days to be cash equivalents. Amounts due from the banks for these transactions classified as cash equivalents totaled $9,776 and $8,688 at October 2, 2022 and July 3, 2022, respectively.
Marketable Securities:  Our investments in marketable equity securities are measured at fair value with the related gains and losses, including unrealized, recognized in other expense.

Derivatives:    We are exposed to interest rate risk. To manage these risks, we entered into interest rate swap derivative transactions associated with a portion of our outstanding debt. The interest rate swaps were designated for accounting purposes as cash flow hedges of forecasted floating interest payments on variable rate debt. The Company's interest rate swaps expired on June 30, 2022.
The reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) into income during each reporting period were as follows:
October 2, 2022September 26, 2021
Interest expense reclassified from AOCI into net loss$— $2,202 
The fair value of the swap and cap agreements excludes accrued interest and takes into consideration current interest rates and current likelihood of the swap counterparties’ compliance with its contractual obligations. There are no income taxes related to the amounts recorded to AOCI due to tax credits and the full valuation allowance on deferred taxes.
Net (Loss) Income Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders:    We compute net (loss) income per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock under the two-class method. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock have equal rights to the earnings of the Company. Our participating securities include the redeemable convertible preferred stock that have a non-forfeitable right to dividends in the event that a dividend is paid on common stock, but do not participate in losses, and thus are not included in a two-class method in periods of loss. Since the Company has reported net loss for the current period, all potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as their effect is antidilutive and accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same for the current period presented. Dilutive securities include convertible preferred stock, earnouts, stock options, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). See Note 15 - Net (Loss) Income Per Share.
Emerging Growth Company Status

Status: The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business StartupsJOBS 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 and 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.

statements.

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’sour financial statements with those of another public company whichthat is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company whichthat has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use


Recently Issued Accounting Standards:   We reviewed the accounting pronouncements that became effective for our fiscal year 2023 and besides ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), we determined that either they were not applicable, or they did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
As a result of ASU 2020-05, Topic 842 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The preparationCompany will adopt Topic 842 as of these unaudited condensedJuly 4, 2022 within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending July 2, 2023. The Company intends to adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective transition approach and will apply the provisions at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before the effective date. The new standard provides a number of optional practice expedients in transition. The Company intends to elect the practical expedients to not reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. Additionally, we do not intend to elect the practical expedient allowing the use of hindsight or the practical expedient related to land easements. The Company is still evaluating the practical expedients related to ongoing lease accounting. Although management continues to evaluate the impacts on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requiresand disclosures, management to makecurrently estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts oftotal assets and liabilities will increase approximately $500,000 to $600,000. This estimate may change as the Company’s implementation progresses, the Company’s lease portfolio changes, and disclosureif discount rates fluctuate prior to adoption. The Company estimates that this standard will result in a material impact to our balance sheet primarily from the recognition of contingentoperating lease right of use assets and liabilities. We do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our statement of operations or cash flows.

(3) Business Acquisitions
Acquisitions: The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions, which can be either business combinations or asset purchases, that strategically fit within the Company’s existing portfolio of centers as a key part of the Company’s overall growth strategy in order to expand our market share in key geographic areas, and to improve our ability to leverage our fixed costs.
2023 Business Acquisitions: For business combinations, the Company allocates the consideration transferred to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. We estimate the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using valuation techniques, such as the income, cost and market approaches. During the three months ended October 2, 2022, the Company had two acquisitions in which we acquired three bowling entertainment centers for a total consideration of $15,918. The Company is still in the process of finalizing its valuation analysis. The remaining fair value estimates include working capital, intangibles, property and equipment, and capital lease assets and liabilities. For business combinations, we will continue to refine our estimates throughout the permitted measurement period, which may result in corresponding offsets to goodwill. We expect to finalize the valuations as soon as possible, but no later than one year after the acquisition dates. Acquisitions that were considered preliminary at July 3, 2022 were finalized with immaterial adjustments.

(6) Leases
The Company leases various assets under non-cancellable operating and capital leases. These assets include bowling centers, office space, vehicles, and equipment.
Most of our leases contain payments for some or all of the following: base rent, contingent rent, common area maintenance, insurance, real-estate taxes, and other operating expenses. Rental payments are subject to escalation depending on future changes in designated indices or based on pre-determined amounts agreed upon at lease inception.
Operating Leases: We recorded accrued rent of $26,511 and $26,417 within other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of October 2, 2022 and July 3, 2022, respectively.
Capital Leases: We had $50,369 and $47,298 in accumulated amortization on property and equipment under capital leases as of October 2, 2022 and July 3, 2022, respectively

Total long-term debt$878,243 $865,090 
First Lien Credit Facility Term Loan: The First Lien Credit Facility Term Loan is repaid on a quarterly basis on the last business day of the last month of each calendar quarter in principal payments of $2,053.
Obligations owed under the First Lien Credit Facility Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable LIBOR rate, subject to a floor of 1.00%, plus an applicable margin of 3.50%. Interest on term loans under the First Lien Credit Facility bearing interest based upon the Base Rate will be due quarterly, and interest on loans bearing interest based upon the LIBOR rate will be due on the last day of each relevant interest period or, if sooner, on the respective dates that fall every three months after the beginning of such interest period.
Pursuant to the First Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreements, obligations owed under the First Lien Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest on substantially all assets of Bowlero Corp and the guarantor subsidiaries. The First Lien Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, asset dispositions, dividends and affirmative and negative covenants.
Revolver: On December 15, 2021, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment (“Sixth Amendment”) to the First Lien Credit Agreement, by and among Bowlero, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders.
Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, the revolving credit facility under the First Lien Credit Agreement was refinanced and replaced by a $140,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolver”), which has a maturity date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differearlier of December 15, 2026 or the date that is 90 days prior to the scheduled maturity date of any term loans outstanding under the First Lien Credit Facility Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $175,000. Since the First Lien Credit Agreement matures on July 3, 2024, the maturity date for the Revolver is currently April 4, 2024. Interest on borrowings under the Revolver is initially based on either the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or the Alternate Base Rate, as further described in the First Lien Credit Agreement.
In addition, on December 17, 2021, Bowlero entered into a Seventh Amendment (“Seventh Amendment”) to the First Lien Credit Agreement pursuant to which the total revolving commitments under the Revolver were increased by $25,000 to an aggregate amount of $165,000. No changes, other than increasing the aggregate principal amount of revolving commitments thereunder, were made to the terms of the Revolver in connection with the Seventh Amendment.
The Revolver is subject to, among other provisions, covenants regarding indebtedness, liens, negative pledges, restricted payments, certain prepayments of indebtedness, cross-default with other agreements relating to indebtedness, investments, fundamental changes, disposition of assets, sale and lease-back transactions, transactions with affiliates, amendments of or waivers with respect to restricted debt and permitted activities of Bowlero. In addition, the Revolver is subject to a financial covenant requiring that the First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) not exceed 6.00:1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter if the Revolver is at least 35% utilized (subject to certain exclusions) at the end of such fiscal quarter.
The Revolver is also subject to customary events of defaults. Payment of borrowings under the Revolver may be accelerated if there is an event of default, and Bowlero would no longer be permitted to borrow additional funds under the Revolver while a default or event of default were outstanding. No changes were made to the terms of the term loan under the First Lien Credit Agreement in connection with the Sixth Amendment or the Seventh Amendment.
15

Letters of Credit:    Outstanding standby letters of credit as of October 2, 2022 and July 3, 2022 totaled $9,136, and are guaranteed by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The available amount of the Revolver is reduced by the outstanding standby letters of credit.
Other Equipment Loan: On August 19, 2022, the Company entered into an equipment loan agreement for a principal amount of $15,350 with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.. The loan is repaid on a monthly basis in fixed payments of $153 plus a final payment at maturity. The loan obligation is secured by a lien on the equipment.
Covenant Compliance: The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of October 2, 2022.
(9) Income Taxes
The Company uses the estimated annual effective tax rate method for calculating its tax provision in interim periods, which represents the Company's best estimate of the effective tax rate expected for the full year. Certain items, including those deemed to be unusual, infrequent or that cannot be reliably estimated (discrete items), are excluded from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimatesthe estimated annual effective tax rate, and the related tax expense or benefit is reported in the same period as the related item. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended October 2, 2022 was (1.3)%, which differs from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to certain non-deductible expenses, changes in the valuation allowance, and state and local taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 26, 2021 was (67.0)% and differs from the US federal statutory rate of 21% due to changes in the valuation allowance, state and local taxes, and the release of a portion of the valuation allowance resulting from the acquisition of Bowl America.
(10) Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Claims: The Company is currently, and from time to time may be, subject to claims and actions arising in the ordinary course of its business, including general liability, fidelity, workers’ compensation, employment claims, and Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) claims. The Company has insurance to cover general liability and workers’ compensation claims and reserves for claims and actions in the ordinary course. The insurance is subject to a self-insured retention. In some actions, plaintiffs request punitive or other damages that may not be covered by insurance.
There is currently a group of approximately 76 pending claims, filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”) between 2016 and 2019, generally relating to claims of age discrimination. To date, the EEOC issued determinations of probable cause as to thirteen of the charges, which the Company contests and intends to defend vigorously. The EEOC has also alleged a pattern or practice of age discrimination, which resulted in a determination of probable cause and, on August 22, 2022, the EEOC submitted a proposal for the Company to participate in the conciliation process. The EEOC’s proposal includes a demand for monetary and non-monetary remedies. The Company contests such determination and intends to defend vigorously. The Company cannot estimate the possible range of loss, if any, associated with these EEOC matters.
(11) Earnouts
Old Bowlero’s stockholders and option holders received additional shares of Bowlero common stock (the “Earnout Shares”). Earnout Shares vest during the period from and after the Closing Date until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”). The following tranches of Earnout Shares were issued to Old Bowlero stockholders:
(a)10,375,000 Earnout Shares, if the closing share price of Bowlero’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Class A common stock) equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20-trading day period that occurs after the Closing Date and
(b)10,375,000 Earnout Shares, if the closing share price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $17.50 per share for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20-trading day period.
During the Earnout Period, if Bowlero experiences an Acceleration Event, which as detailed in the BCA includes a change of control, liquidation or dissolution of the Company, bankruptcy or the assignment for the benefit of creditors the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or substantially all the assets or properties of the Company, then any Earnout Shares that have not been previously issued by Bowlero (whether or not previously earned) to the Bowlero stockholders or holders of Options or Earnout shares issued but not vested will be deemed earned and issued or vested by Bowlero as of immediately prior to the Acceleration Event, unless, in the case of an Acceleration Event, the value of the consideration to be received by the holders of Bowlero common stock in such change of control transaction is less than the applicable stock price thresholds described above. If the consideration received in such Acceleration Event is not solely cash, Bowlero’s Board of Directors will determine the treatment of the Earnout Shares.
As part of the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Sponsor and LionTree were issued 1,611,278 Earnout Shares which vest during the period from and after the Closing Date until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date: (a) 805,639 Earnout

Shares if the closing share price of Bowlero’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20-trading day period that occurs after the Closing Date and (b) 805,639 Earnout Shares, if the closing share price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $17.50 per share for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20-trading day period. As a result of the cashless exercise of their unvested private placement warrants, the Sponsor and LionTree were issued 475,440 additional Earnout Shares, which vest during the period from and after the Closing Date until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date: (a) 237,721 Earnout Shares if the closing share price of Bowlero’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20-trading day period that occurs after the Closing Date and (b) 237,719 Earnout Shares, if the closing share price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $17.50 per share for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20-trading day period.
All but 123,254 Earnout Shares are classified as a liability and changes in the fair value of the forward purchase agreement liability and the warrant liability (see Note 7)

At September 30, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in mutual funds comprised of U.S. Treasury Bills, classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in Trust interest incomefuture periods will be recognized in the statement of operations.

(12) Fair Value Measurements

of Financial Instruments
Debt

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier

The fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Levelcarrying value of our debt as of October 2, 2022 and July 3, measurements). These tiers include:

2022 are as follows:
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

October 2, 2022July 3, 2022
Carrying value$889,929 $876,705 
Fair value859,558 841,637 
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The fair value of our debt is estimated based on trading levels of lenders buying and selling their participation levels of funding (Level 2).

There were no transfers in or out of any of the Company’slevels of the valuation hierarchy during the three months ended October 2, 2022 and the fiscal year ended July 3, 2022.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company holds certain assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, due to related party are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of September 30, 2021 due to the short maturities of such instruments.

The Company’s Private Placement Warrants liability and forward purchase agreements (FPA) liability are based on a valuation model utilizing management judgment and pricing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value. The fair value of the warrant liability and FPA liability is classified as level 3. See Note 7 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 25,483,700 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Class A ordinary shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital to the extent available and accumulated deficit.


Net Loss Per Ordinary Share

The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The 13,892,395 ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net loss per ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for the periods presented. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share for each class of ordinary shares:

Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A - “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO and were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the IPO based on a relative fair value basis compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed, and offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares are charged to shareholders’ equity.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The Company has determined the warrants are a derivative instrument.

FASB ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this guidance to allocate IPO proceeds from the Units between Class A ordinary shares and warrants, using the residual method by allocating IPO proceeds first to fair value of the warrants and then the Class A ordinary shares.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB 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 statement 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 period, disclosure and transition. 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. Since the Company was incorporated on December 29, 2020, the evaluation was performed for upcoming 2021 tax year which will be the only period subject to examination.


The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman federal income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity(Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas.  The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the adoption of the ASU on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  

Note 4 - Initial Public Offering

Pursuant to the IPO, the Company sold 22,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

On March 10, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 2,983,700 units

Following the closing of the IPO on March 5, 2021 and the underwriters’ partial exercise of over-allotment option on March 10, 2021, $254,837,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a Trust Account, which can only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. $1,000 was overfunded by the Sponsor and the Company intends to return it back to the Sponsor immediately.

Public Warrants

Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by the initial shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance including any transfer or reissuance of such shares) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 50% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination, and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 10 trading day period starting on the trading day after the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices described below under “Redemption of warrants for Class A ordinary shares when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00” and “Redemption of warrants for Class A ordinary shares when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 100% and 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, respectively.

The warrants will become exercisable on the later of one year from the closing of the IPO and 30 days after the completion of its initial Business Combination, and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.


The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use the commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use the commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if the Class A ordinary shares are, at the time of any exercise of a warrant, not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at the Company’s option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so appoint, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but the Company will use the best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Redemptions of warrants for cash when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

in whole and not in part;

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”); and

if, and only if, the last reported sales price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of the redemption to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”).

Redemption of warrants for Class A ordinary shares when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

in whole and not in part;

at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” (as defined below) of the Class A ordinary shares;

if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per public share (as adjusted per share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding public warrants, as described above.


The “fair market value” of the Class A ordinary shares shall mean the volume-weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. This redemption feature differs from the typical warrant redemption features used in other blank check offerings. The Company will provide the warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than one business day after the 10-day trading period described above ends. In no event will the warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 Class A ordinary shares per warrant (subject to adjustment).

Note 5 - Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased 3,666,667 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, and LionTree Partners LLC purchased 1,333,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $7,500,000, in a private placement. The proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account.

Pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option on March 10, 2021, the Sponsor purchased an additional 296,793 Private Placement Warrants and LionTree Partners LLC purchased an additional 101,035 Private Placement Warrants for total proceeds of $596,742 and incurred $1,641,037 of underwriting fees comprised of the payment of $596,742 upon closing and $1,044,295 of deferred underwriting fees.

The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and they will not be redeemable by the Company (except as described below in Note 7 Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00) so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the Units being sold in the IPO.

Note 6 - Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

In December 2020, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001. Up to 750,000 founder shares were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised. In March 2021, the Company effected a stock dividend of approximately 0.125 shares for each Class B ordinary share outstanding, resulting in the initial stockholders holding an aggregate of 6,468,750 founder shares (up to 843,750 shares of which are subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised). On March 8, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 2,983,700 units. As a result, 97,825 founder shares was forfeited as of September 30, 2021.

The Sponsor and the Company’s founding team have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in connection with (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial Business Combination activity. Additionally, the Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to its founder shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period). If the Company submits the initial Business Combination to the public shareholders for a vote, the Sponsor and each member of the founding team have agreed to vote their founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the initial Business Combination.


Except as described herein, the Sponsor and the founding team have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares until the earliest of: (1) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination; and (2) subsequent to the initial Business Combination (x) if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Due to Related Party

The Company’s Sponsor overfunded to the Trust Account of $1,000 as of September 30, 2021. The Company intends to return it back to the Sponsor immediately.

Promissory Note - Related Party

On December 30, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. These loans were non-interest bearing, unsecured and were due at the earlier of June 30, 2021 or the closing of the IPO. Pursuant to the IPO, $3,000,000 of cash was supposed to be held outside of the Trust Account and available for working capital purposes.

The Company received $2,502,509 and another $497,491 was due from the Sponsor as of March 5, 2021. As of March 5, 2021, the Company had borrowed $125,267 under the promissory note. The promissory note from the Sponsor was paid in full on March 15, 2021.

Working Capital Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination company at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Service Fee

Commencing on the date the securities of the Company were first listed on The New York Stock Exchange, the Company has paid an affiliate of the Sponsor $51,667 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of the Company’s management team. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. The Company paid $155,001 and $361,669 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Registration and Shareholder Rights

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The holders of the founder shares, Private Placement Warrants, Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants, any warrants that may be issued on conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans), and securities issuable pursuant to the forward purchase agreement (as described below) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed on March 2, 2021. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, LionTree Partners LLC may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on March 2, 2021. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination; provided, however, that LionTree Partners LLC may participate in a “piggy-back” registration only during the seven-year period beginning on March 2, 2021.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from March 2, 2021 to purchase up to an additional 3,375,000 units to cover over-allotments.

On March 5, 2021, the Company paid a fixed underwriting discount of $4,500,000, which was calculated as two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds of the IPO. Additionally, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO held in the Trust Account, or $7,875,000, upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

On March 8, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 2,983,700 units, which resulted in $1,641,037 of underwriting fees comprised of the payment of $596,742 upon closing and $1,044,295 of deferred underwriting fees.

Forward Purchase Agreement

In connection with the consummation of the IPO, the Company entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “Original FPA”) with affiliates of Apollo (the “forward purchasers”) that provided for the purchase of units at $10.00 per unit in a private placement to occur concurrently with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The Original FPA provided that the forward purchasers would purchase units in a minimum amount equal to 25% of the units sold in the IPO, up to 7,500,000 units, for an aggregate purchase price of up to $75,000,000. The contingent forward purchase units and their component securities would be identical to the Units being sold in the IPO, except that the contingent forward purchase units and their component securities would be subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights, as described herein. The funds from the sale of contingent forward purchase units may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination. On July 1, 2021, the Company and the forward purchasers amended and restated the Original FPA (as amended and restated, the “FPA”) pursuant to which the forward purchasers agreed to increase the number of units that would be issued and sold under the FPA to 10,000,000 units, for an aggregate gross purchase price of $100,000,000.

The FPA is accounted as eithersignificant assets or liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented as FPA liability on the Balance Sheet.

Overview

WeThese forward-looking statements are a blank check company incorporatedbased on December 29, 2020information available as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We have not selected any business combination partner and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination partner. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, our shares, debt or a combinationdate of cash, equity and debt.

The issuance of additional shares in a business combination:

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in this offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares;

may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares if preference shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A ordinary shares;

could cause a change in control if a substantial number of our Class A ordinary shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;

may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us;

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our units, Class A ordinary shares and/or warrants; and

may not result in adjustment to the exercise price of our warrants.


Similarly, if we issue debt or otherwise incur significant debt, it could result in:

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt is payable on demand;

our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt is outstanding;

our inability to pay dividends on our Class A ordinary shares;

using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our Class A ordinary shares if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial business combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial business combination will be successful.

Overview
Bowlero Corp. is the world’s largest operator of bowling entertainment centers. The Company operates traditional bowling centers and more upscale entertainment concepts with lounge seating, arcades, enhanced food and beverage offerings, and more robust customer service for individuals and group events, as well as hosting and overseeing professional and non-professional bowling tournaments and related broadcasting.
The Company remains focused on creating long-term shareholder value through continued organic growth, the conversion and upgrading of centers to more upscale entertainment concepts offering a broader range of offerings, the opening of new centers and acquisitions. A core tenet of our long-term strategy to increase profitability is to grow the size and scale of the Company in order to improve our leverage of Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“Bowlero”SG&A”). PursuantFor the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the Business Combination Agreement, followingfirst quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company’s total revenue (inclusive of acquisitions and new centers) increased by 27% and the Company’s total revenue on a same-store basis increased by 20%.
Same-store revenues includes revenue from centers that are open in periods presented (open in both the current period and the prior period being reported) and excludes revenues from centers that are not open in both periods presented, such as recently acquired centers or centers closed for upgrades, renovations or other such reasons, as well as media revenues. We continue to see positive momentum for future demand and we have recovered to better than pre-pandemic performance. While we generated a strong financial performance prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and during the previous five quarters, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, various COVID-19 virus variants, the governmental actions imposed in response to the pandemic, and the resulting consequences on our consumer’s risk tolerance toward health and safety matters remains uncertain.
Recent Developments
Bowlero’s results for the quarter ended October 2, 2022 exhibited continued strong revenue growth after the significant disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the strength of our business model, the increase in confidence of our customers and the resilience in the bowling market. Additionally, the further improvements in our quarterly results demonstrate our continued ability to execute our growth strategy and business model. To highlight the Company’s recent activity during the quarter ended October 2, 2022:
We made two acquisitions in which we acquired three bowling entertainment centers during the quarter ended October 2, 2022, adding a total of 30 net new centers since the start of fiscal 2022, that we believe will aid the Company domesticatingin several key geographic markets and aid in leveraging our fixed costs. We have signed five agreements to acquire six additional centers as of October 2, 2022, which are expected to close in fiscal year 2023.
We signed two agreements for build-outs during the quarter ended October 2, 2022 and have a Delaware corporation, Bowlero will merge withtotal of five signed agreements for build-outs in prime markets.
We continue to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the governmental actions imposed in response to it. The rise of other variants of COVID-19 and intopublic health officials’ response to potential resurgences in the Company,virus could impact our future operations. Although we believe our recent results, actions and goals exhibit our strength in
22

the bowling market and our position for the future growth, we may incur future unplanned expenses related to training, hiring and retaining associates, and navigating the disruption in the food and beverage supply chains, whether due to the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise. For more details, see the risk factors included under “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Bowlero’s Business and Industry” in our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2022.
Trends
There are a number of trends that we expect to materially affect our future profitability, including changing economic conditions with the Company surviving. Bowlero’s stockholders will receive, as consideration for the Business Combination, a mixresulting impact on our sales, profitability, and capital spending, changes in our debt levels and applicable interest rates, and increasing prices of cash, shareslabor, raw materials and other food and beverage costs. Additionally, sales and results of the Company’s common stockoperations could be impacted by acquisitions and sharesrestructuring projects. Restructuring can include various projects, including closure of the Company’s preferred stock.

centers not performing well, cost reductions through staffing reductions, and optimizing and allocating resources to improve profitability.

Index to Notes


Revenues: For the quarter ended October 2, 2022, revenues totaled $230,260 and represented an increase of $49,282, or 27%, over the same period of last fiscal year. The overall increase in revenues is due to our ability to execute our growth strategy and business model with the impact of 26 new centers and continued organic growth with event revenue, our broader and enhanced range of offerings, as well as the impact of positive market conditions. The following table summarizes the increase in the Company’s revenue on a same-store-basis for the quarter ended October 2, 2022 as compared to the corresponding period last fiscal year:
Three Months Ended
(in thousands)October 2, 2022September 26, 2021Change% Change

Total revenues$230,260 $180,978 $49,282 27.2 %
Same-store revenues includes revenue from December 29, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2021centers that are open in periods presented (open in both the current period and the prior period being reported) and excludes revenues from centers that are not open in periods presented such as acquired new centers or centers closed for upgrades, renovations or other such reasons, as well as media revenues. The increase in same-store revenues during the quarter ended October 2, 2022 reflects, among other factors, continued favorable demand for our products and services.
Cost of Revenues:    The Company’s cost of revenues includes costs that are not variable or less variable with changes in revenues, such as depreciation, amortization, rent and property taxes, as well as more variable costs that include labor, food and beverage costs, prize funds, supplies, production expenses and amusement costs. The increase in cost of revenues of $38,334, or 30%, is mainly due to the increase in revenues, as well as higher costs due to inflation. Increases in costs include higher costs with labor, utilities, food and beverage, as well as increases in depreciation, insurance and other operational costs such as security and supplies. Labor costs during the prior year were lower because of a lack of staffing during the reopening after the pandemic. Depreciation costs increased because of added depreciation from acquisitions of businesses, asset acquisitions and capital expenditures. Cost of revenues as a percent of revenues increased from 70% during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 to almost 72% during the first quarter of fiscal 2023, mainly due to the certain costs, including labor, food, insurance and security costs, increasing at a faster rate than revenues because of a range of factors, such as supply chain issues, inflationary pressures and heightened level of security at a number of our centers. The Company has recently increased prices in an effort to address the impact of higher costs and to improve margins.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”):    SG&A expenses include employee related costs with payroll and benefits, as well as depreciation and amortization (excluding those related to our center operations), media and promotional expenses. SG&A expenses increased $11,079 or 52% to $32,494, mainly due to the increase in revenues and operating activities as compared to the same period last fiscal year, including increases of $4,690 in compensation and benefits, $2,863 in share-based compensation, $1,030 in insurance, $725 in professional fees and $246 in depreciation. The increase in compensation costs mainly reflects rebuilding staff after the interruption caused by the pandemic, increases in pay rates and higher staffing to support the increase in business and as a public reporting company. The increase in share-based compensation costs reflects new equity awards to key members of management as an incentive to motivate and retain associates. The increases in insurance and professional fees include higher costs associated with the growth in our business, costs associated with being a public reporting company and higher costs due to inflation. Total SG&A expenses as a percent of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was approximately 14% as compared to 12% during the corresponding period last fiscal year. The increase in SG&A costs as a percentage of revenues is mainly due to the certain costs, including compensation-related costs and insurance, increasing at a faster rate than revenues.
Other operating expense:    Other operating expenses include various cost, including professional fees related to transactions, such as acquisitions of centers. The increase in other operating expenses is mainly due to an increase in the volume of transactions as compared to the same period of last fiscal year.
Interest expense, net:    Interest expense primarily relates to interest on debt and capital leases. Interest expense increased $642, or 3%, to $23,570. The higher interest expense is primarily the result of higher interest rates and our formationincreased debt and initial public offering. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the initial public offering and placed in the trust account.

capital lease obligations during fiscal 2023.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $8,257,112 which was comprised of operating costs of $785,494, trust interest income of $3,848, unrealized loss on changeChange in fair value of warrants of $5,266,872, and unrealized loss on changeearnouts: Changes in the fair value of FPA of $2,208,594.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $6,370,860 which was comprised of operating costs of $1,260,847, trust interest income of $7,389, warrant issuance costs of $638,847, unrealized loss on change in fair value of warrants of $811,507, and unrealized loss on change in fair value of FPA of $3,667,048.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $1.2 million in our operating bank account, and working capital of approximately $1.2 million.

Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the Sponsor of $25,000, to cover certain offering costs, for the purchase of founder shares, and a loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of $125,267. The promissory note from the Sponsor was paid in full on March 15, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not heldearnout liabilities are recognized in the Trust Account.

In addition,statement of operations. Decreases in order to finance transaction costs in connection withthe liability will have a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans. To date, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

Basedfavorable impact on the foregoing, management believes that westatement of operations and increases in the liability will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires 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 unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 25,483,700 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with the SEC’s staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Class A ordinary shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are effected by charges against additional paid in capital to the extent available and accumulated deficit.

Net Loss Per Ordinary Share

The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The 13,892,395 ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net loss per ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for the periods.


Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).unfavorable impact. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance.

Income Taxes:    Income tax expense (benefit) and Public Warrantsdeferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s assessment of the Company’s tax position. The effective tax rate of (1.3)% for the quarter ended October 2, 2022 was estimated usingprimarily attributed to state income tax expense and certain non-deductible expenses offset in part by changes in the valuation allowance. The effective tax rate of (67.0)% for the quarter ended September 26, 2021 was due to changes in the valuation allowance and the release of a Monte Carlo simulation (see Note 7).

Non-GAAP measure
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes certain financial measures which meet the definition of non-GAAP financial measures provide important supplemental information. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA as an important financial measure because it provides a financial measure of the quality of the Company’s earnings. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, which might limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management in addition to and in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, we believe trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA provides the current run-rate for trending purposes, rather than annualizing the respective quarters, as the Company’s business is seasonal, with the second and third fiscal quarters being higher than the first and last quarters. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA solely as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it allows for a more complete analysis of results of operations and assists investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance, such as Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, Impairment Charges, Share-based Compensation, EBITDA from Closed Centers, Foreign Currency Exchange (Gain) Loss, Asset Disposition (Gain) Loss, Transactional and other advisory costs, Charges attributed to new initiatives, Extraordinary unusual non-recurring gains or losses and Changes in the value of earnouts and warrants. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that Adjusted EBITDA and trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect:
every expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
changes in our working capital needs;
the interest expense, or the amounts necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our outstanding debt;
income tax expense (benefit), and because the payment of taxes is part of our operations, tax expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to operate;
non-cash equity compensation, which will remain a key element of our overall equity based compensation package; and
the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations.
Refer to notes below for additional details concerning the respective items for Adjusted EBITDA.

Notes to Adjusted EBITDA:
(1)The closed center adjustment is to remove EBITDA for closed centers. Closed centers are those centers that are closed for a variety of reasons, including permanent closure, newly acquired or built centers prior to opening, centers closed for renovation or rebranding and conversion. Closed centers do not include centers closed in compliance with local, state and federal government restrictions due to COVID-19. If a center is not open on the last day of the reporting period, it will be considered closed for that reporting period. If the center is closed on the first day of the reporting period for permanent closure, the center will be considered closed for that reporting period.
(2)The adjustment for transaction costs and other advisory costs is to remove charges incurred in connection with any transaction, including mergers, acquisitions, refinancing, amendment or modification to indebtedness, dispositions and costs in connection with an initial public offering, in each case, regardless of whether consummated.
(3)The adjustment for charges attributed to new initiatives is to remove actual charges attributed to new initiatives, including charges with the undertaking and/or implementation of new initiatives, business optimization activities, cost savings initiatives, cost rationalization programs, operating expense reductions and/or synergies and/or similar initiatives and/or programs including any restructuring charge (including any charges relating to any tax restructuring), any charge relating to the closure or consolidation of any office or facility, any systems

implementation charge, any severance charge, any one time compensation charge, any charge relating to entry into a new market, any charge relating to any strategic initiative or contract and any lease run-off charge.
(4)The adjustment for extraordinary unusual non-recurring gains or losses is to remove extraordinary gains and losses, which include any gain or charge from any extraordinary item as determined in good faith by the Company and/or any non-recurring or unusual item as determined in good faith by the Company and/or any charge associated with and/or payment of any legal settlement, fine, judgment or order.
(5)The adjustment for changes in the value of earnouts and warrants is to remove of the impact of the revaluation of the earnouts. As a result of the Business Combination, the Company recorded liabilities for earnouts and warrants. Changes in the fair value of the earnout and warrant liabilities are recognized in the statement of operations. Decreases in the liability will have a favorable impact on the statement of operations and increases in the liability will have an unfavorable impact. The adjustment also includes realized costs associated with the settlement of warrants during past reporting periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We manage our liquidity through assessing available cash-on-hand, our ability to generate cash and our ability to borrow or otherwise raise capital to fund operating, investing and financing activities. The Company remains in a positive financial position with available cash balances. We also obtained rent deferrals or abatements on a substantial number of our leases due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A core tenet of our long-term strategy is to grow the size and scale of the Company in order to improve our operating profit margins through leveraging our fixed costs. As such, one of the Company’s known cash requirements is for capital expenditures related to the construction of new centers and upgrading and converting existing centers. We believe our financial position, generation of cash, available cash on hand, existing credit facility, and potential access to additional financing from sale-lease-back transactions or other sources will provide sufficient capital resources to fund our operational requirements, capital expenditures, and material short and long-term commitments for the foreseeable future. However, there are a number of factors that may hinder our ability to access these capital resources, including but not limited to the impact of COVID-19 on our business, our degree of leverage, and potential borrowing restrictions imposed by our lenders. See “Risk Factors” includedin our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2022 for further information.
At October 2, 2022, we had approximately $110,361 of available cash and cash equivalents.
Quarter Ended October 2, 2022 Compared To the Quarter Ended September 26, 2021

During the quarter ended October 2, 2022, net cash provided from operations totaled $35,573, as compared to $31,540 during the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in cash provided by operating activities reflects continued higher revenues and profitability. We benefited during the quarter ended October 2, 2022 from continued strong consumer demand and revenues from recently acquired centers.
Investing activities utilized $62,492, reflecting our acquisitions of businesses and capital expenditures, as well as center conversions and related capital expenditures. The higher level of cash used in investing activities during the comparable period of last fiscal year mainly reflects the acquisition of Bowl America, which had a larger purchase price as compared to the bowling centers acquired during the current period. We expect to continue to invest in accretive acquisitions in future periods as well as center upgrades and conversions.

Financing activities generated $5,167 in fiscal 2022 reflecting proceeds from long-term debt of $15,350, partially offset by $7,558 for the repurchase of treasury stock, $2,126 for scheduled long-term debt payments and $499 in payments for tax withholdings on share-based awards.
Our contractual obligations primarily include, but are not limited to, debt service, self-insurance liabilities, and leasing arrangements. We believe our sources of liquidity, namely available cash on hand, positive operating cash flows, and access to capital markets will continue to be adequate to meet our contractual obligations, as well as fund working capital, planned capital expenditures, center acquisitions, and execute purchases under our share repurchase program.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2021,October 2, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements are in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions affect amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of gain and loss contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Our current estimates are subject to change if different assumptions as to the outcome of future events were made. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis, and we adjust our assumptions and judgments when facts and circumstances dictate. Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, actual results may differ from the estimates we used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Critical accounting estimates are defined as those that require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, and which may result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Our critical accounting estimates are discussed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our fiscal year 2022 Form 10-K under “Critical Accounting Estimates.” There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the three months ended October 2, 2022.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
For a description of recently issued Financial Accounting Standards that we adopted during the quarter ended October 2, 2022 and, that are applicable to us and likely to have material effect on our consolidated financial statements, but have not yet been adopted, see Note 1 - Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

JOBS

Emerging Growth Company Accounting Election
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act,

The JOBS as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act contains provisions that, among other things, relaxof 2012, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements for qualifyingthat are applicable to other public companies. We will qualify as an “emergingcompanies that are not emerging growth company”companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and underreduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements.

The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and as a result, we may not comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have 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, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised accounting standards onstandard at the relevant dates on which adoptiontime private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in, among other things, the ongoing effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, interest rates, credit risk, labor costs, health insurance claims and foreign currency exchange rates, which could impact its results of operations and financial condition. We attempt to address our exposure to these risks through our normal operating and financing activities.
Interest Rate Risk
Under our term and revolving credit facilities, we are exposed to a certain level of interest rate risk. Interest on the principal amount of our borrowings under our revolving credit facility loan accrues at the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate or the Alternate Base Rate, as further described in the credit agreement governing our term and revolving credit facilities. An increase or decrease of 1.0% in the effective interest rate would cause an increase or decrease
to interest expense of approximately $8,800 over a twelve month period on our outstanding debt.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and temporary investments. We are exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by counter parties to our financial instruments. We place cash and temporary investments with various high-quality financial institutions. Although we do not obtain collateral or other security to secure these obligations, we periodically monitor the third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents. Our emphasis is primarily on safety and liquidity of principal and secondarily on maximizing yield on those funds.
Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to market price fluctuation in food, beverage, supplies and other costs such as energy. Given the historical volatility of certain of our food product prices, including proteins, produce, dairy products, and cooking oil, these fluctuations can materially impact our food costs. While our purchasing commitments partially mitigate the risk of such fluctuations, there is no assurance that supply and demand factors such as disease or inclement weather will not cause the prices of the commodities used in our food operations to fluctuate. Additionally, the cost of purchased materials may be influenced by tariffs and other trade regulations which are outside of our control. To the extent that we do not pass along cost increases to our customers, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
Inflation
We experience inflation and deflation related to our purchase of certain products that we need to operate our business. This price volatility could potentially have a material impact on our financial condition and/or our results of operations. In order to mitigate price volatility, we monitor price fluctuations and may adjust our prices accordingly, however, our ability to recover higher costs through increased pricing may be limited by the competitive environment in which we operate.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

DisclosureWe maintain disclosure controls and procedures are controls(as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and other procedures15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designedpursuant to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulatedproperly and timely reported and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

EvaluationIn designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of Disclosure Controlsachieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and Procedures

Asprocedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required by Rules 13a-15to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and 15d-15 underprocedures relative to their costs.

An effective internal control system, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officerspossibility of human error and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluationcircumvention or overriding of thecontrols and therefore can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to reliable financial reporting. Furthermore, effectiveness of an internal control system in future periods cannot be guaranteed because the design of any system of internal controls is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of

future events. There can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time certain controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies and operationprocedures may deteriorate. As such, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.procedures as of October 2, 2022 with the participation, and under the supervision, of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon theirthis evaluation, our Chief Executive OfficersOfficer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of October 2, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective asbecause of September 30, 2021, due to the material weaknessweaknesses described below in analyzing complex financial instruments includingChanges in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, the proper classification of warrants as liabilities and redeemable Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensureCompany has concluded that our unaudited interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q presentare fairly stated in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Regarding the restatements to the March 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021 quarterly financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-Qs, as filed with the SEC on June 1, 2021 and August 17, 2021, respectively, as well as the Company's balance sheet included on the Company's Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021, and restated on the Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on July 19, 2021, certain redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company had previously classified a portion of the Class A ordinary shares in permanent equity. The Company restated its financial statements to classify all Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity and any related impact, as the threshold in its charter would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus would be required to be disclosed outside of permanent equity.

It is noted that the non-cash adjustments to the financial statements do not impact the amounts previously reported for our cash and cash equivalents or total assets. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Changes in Internal Control overOver Financial Reporting

Other then as noted above,During the most recently completed quarter, there washave been no changechanges in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter of 2021 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that hashave materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In lightreporting, except as noted in this paragraph regarding material weaknesses. We did not design and maintain effective controls over certain financial reporting processes, including acquisition accounting, accounting for fixed assets, and certain financial reporting disclosures. Additionally, we did not design and maintain effective controls over system access controls to establish segregation of duties for those with roles and responsibilities for the general ledger. We continue to develop and implement a plan to remediate the material weakness, we have enhanced ourweaknesses described above, which will include additional training of existing staff, hiring additional staff with technical accounting skills and engaging third-party experts to assist in accounting for fixed assets, acquisitions and technical areas, as well as the development of more formal internal control processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand 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 accomplishedimproving information technology controls over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

Part II

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in various inquiries, investigations, claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings that are incidental to the conduct of our business. These matters typically involve claims from customers, employees or other third parties involved in operational issues common to the retail, restaurant and entertainment industries. Such matters typically represent actions with respect to contracts, intellectual property, taxation, employment, employee benefits, personal injuries and other matters. A number of such claims may exist at any given time and there are currently a number of claims and legal proceedings pending against us.
There is currently a group of approximately 76 pending claims, filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”), between 2016 and 2019, generally relating to claims of age discrimination. Of the pending charges, 69 allege age discrimination only, two allege retaliation only, and five allege age discrimination and retaliation. To date, the EEOC issued determinations of probable cause as to thirteen of the charges, which the Company contests and intends to defend vigorously. The Company now awaits conciliation proposals from the EEOC with respect to such individual charges. The remaining charges remain pending before the EEOC in various stages of investigation. In addition, the EEOC has conducted its own administrative investigation of an alleged pattern or practice of age discrimination (the “Pattern and Practice Charge”), which resulted in a determination of probable cause dated March 7, 2022, in which the Commission alleged that evidence purportedly exists of such a pattern or practice dating back to 2013. The Company contests such determination and intends to defend vigorously. Following that determination, the EEOC asked for additional information and, on August 22, 2022, sent a proposal to the Company to participate in conciliation for the Pattern and Practice Charge. The EEOC’s proposal includes a demand for monetary and non-monetary remedies. In the opinion of our management, after consultation with legal counsel, the amount of liability with respect to claims or proceedings currently pending against us is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In particular, our management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the EEOC claims alleging age discrimination, and the facts alleged therein, do not pose any material risk to the business or operations of the Company because, among other things, management believes such claims to be in the ordinary course and without substantive merit. In addition, management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that approximately 65 of such EEOC claims would be time barred due to expiry of the statute of limitations if the individuals were to bring the claims themselves, but not so barred if the EEOC were to bring the claims. Nevertheless, even if such claims were not time barred, they would not pose a material risk to the Company's business or operations and may be barred by the equitable doctrine of laches.
