NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONSO PERATIONS

byNordic Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on December 27, 2019. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of March 31, 2022,June 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from December 27, 2019 (inception) through March 31, 2022June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering (as defined below).

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on February 8, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). On February 11, 2022, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) of 15,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”). Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (a “Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $150,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the sale of 850,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stockCommon Stock (the “Private Shares”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Share in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Water by Nordic AB (the “Sponsor”), byNordic Holdings LLC (“byNordic Holdings”) and byNordic Holdings II LLC (“byNordic Holdings II”). Both byNordic Holdings and byNordic Holdings II are affiliates of the Sponsor.

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from February 8, 2022 to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 18, 2022, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option by purchasing an additional 2,250,000 Units, consisting of 2,250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,125,000 redeemable warrants generating additional gross proceeds of $22,500,000 to the Company and bringing the total gross proceeds of the IPO to $172,500,000. In connection with the exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option in full, the Company completed the sale of an additional 90,000 Private Shares to the Sponsor, byNordic Holdings and byNordic Holdings II at a price of $10.00 per Private Share in a private placement.

With the full exercise of the over-allotment option, transaction costs amounted to $16,724,021 consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting commissions, $6,037,500 of deferred underwriting commissions, $6,317,382 in excess fair value of anchor investor shares, and $919,139 of other offering costs. Of the $16,724,021 total transaction costs, $16,343,583 was charged to temporary equity and $380,438 was charged to equity.

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

Following the closing of the IPO on February 11, 2022 and the exercise of the over-allotment option, an amount of $175,950,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Shares was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) to be. The proceeds in the Trust Account were invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in anythrough an open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders, as described below.

With the full exercise of the over-allotment option, transaction costs amounted to $16,724,021 consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting commissions, $6,037,500 of deferred underwriting commissions, $6,317,382 in excess fair value of anchor investor shares, and $919,139 of other offering costs. Of the $16,724,021 total transaction costs, $16,343,583 was charged to temporary equity and $380,438 was charged to equity.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Shares, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company must complete its Business Combination with one or more target companies having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company anticipates structuring its Business Combination either (i) in such a way so that the post-transaction company in which the holders of Public Shares will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses, or (ii) in such a way so that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders, or for other reasons. 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 of 1940, as amended. Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, the Company’s stockholders prior to the Business Combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and the Company in the Business Combination.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.20 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to public stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Public Shares subject to redemption will beare recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor, byNordic Holdings, byNordic Holdings II, officers and directors and certain Anchor Investors (as defined herein) that purchased Founder Shares in connection with the IPO (see Note 6) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

Each of the Sponsor, byNordic Holdings, byNordic Holdings II, and officers and directors of the Company that hold Founder Shares have agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Businesspre-Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment. Anchor Investors in the Company’s IPO have agreed that they have no claims to any funds in the Trust Account or other assets of the Company with respect to the Founder Shares they purchased.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of its respective affiliates acquire Public Shares after the IPO, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per Public Share (or $10.30 per Public Share if applicable)following the exercise of the Company’s Initial Extension) and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per share (or $10.30 per share if applicable)following the exercise of the Company’s Initial Extension), due to reductions in the value of the trustTrust Account assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is continuing 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 and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation launched an invasion of Ukraine that has continued to escalate without any resolution of the invasion foreseeable in the near future with the short and long-term impact on financial and business conditions in Europe remaining highly uncertain. The United States, the European Union, Canada and other countries have imposed sanctions against the Russian Federation contributing to higher inflation and disruptions to supply and distribution chains. The impact of the sanctions also includes disruptions to financial markets, an inability to complete financial or banking transactions, restrictions on travel and an inability to service existing or new customers in a timely manner in the affected areas of Europe. Many multinational corporations have exceeded what is required by the newer and stricter sanctions in reducing or terminating their business ties to the Russian Federation. The circumstances related to the Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine could have a material and adverse effect on the business, the cost and availability of capital and prospects of technology companies in northern Europe which are the focus of the Company’s search for an initiala Business Combination. The number of attractive targets for the Company’s initial Business Combination could be reduced, the cost of an initiala Business Combination may be increased, and the Company could experience a delay of, or inability to complete an initiala Business Combination. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

 On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023 (the “Excise Tax”). The Excise Tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the Excise Tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the Excise Tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the Excise Tax.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of, the excise tax; however, only limited guidance has been issued to date. On December 27, 2022, the Treasury published Notice 2023-2 as interim guidance until the publication of forthcoming proposed regulations on the excise tax. Nevertheless, it remains uncertain whether, and/or to what extent, the excise tax could apply to redemptions of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, including any redemptions in connection with a Business Combination, or in the event the Company does not consummate a Business Combination.

Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the Excise Tax will depend on a number of factors, including (i) whether the redemption is treated as a repurchase of stock for purposes of the Excise Tax, (ii) the fair market value of the redemptions treated as repurchases in connection with a Business Combination, (iii) the structure of a Business Combination and whether any such transaction closes, (iv) the nature and amount of any private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination), (v) whether we consummate a Business Combination, and (vi) the content of regulations and other guidance issued by the Treasury. It is possible that the Company will be subject to the Excise Tax with respect to any subsequent redemptions, including redemptions in connection with the Business Combination, that are treated as repurchases for this purpose (other than, pursuant to recently issued guidance from the Treasury, redemptions in complete liquidation of the Company). As mentioned, the Excise Tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not the stockholders from which stock is repurchased. The imposition of the Excise Tax (including as a result of public stockholders electing to exercise their redemption rights in connection with an Business Combination) could, however, reduce the amount of cash available to the Company to pay redemptions (or the cash contribution to the target business in connection with our Business Combination, which could hinder the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination or cause the other shareholders of the combined company to economically bear the impact of such Excise Tax).

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of March 31, 2022,June 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $1,235,078$1,056,328 not held in the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $1,642,590 (excluding taxes payable from the Trust Account). On May 8, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors elected to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from May 11, 2023 to August 11, 2023 and the Company’s Sponsor subsequently deposited $1,725,000 to the Trust Account with respect to the extension. On May 9, 2023, the Company received the Initial Extension Loan from the Sponsor and on May 12, 2023, the Company received the Initial Working Capital Loan from the Sponsor. In connection with certain amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation approved by stockholders on August 10, 2023, (i) the deadline for the Company to complete a Business Combination was extended, (ii) the Sponsor deposited an aggregate of $625,000 into the Trust Account, and (iii) the Company issued to the Sponsor a convertible promissory note in the amount of $625,000 in connection with the Sponsor’s funding of the extension (the “Additional Extension Loan” and collectively with the Initial Extension Loan, the “Extension Loans”) and a convertible promissory note to the Sponsor in the amount of $710,000 in connection with the Sponsor’s funding of the Company’s working capital needs (the “Additional Working Capital Loan”), of which $110,000 was funded on August 10, 2023 and $600,000 is available for working capital purposes.future borrowings. The amendments to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation extend the Combination Period to February 12, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, and allow the Company to further extend the Combination Period by one month up to a total of six months, until August 12, 2024, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto, provided that the Company’s Sponsor deposits the lesser of $105,000 or $0.04 per outstanding Public Share into the Trust Account with respect to each such one-month extension.

If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would expect to repay the Extension Loans, the Initial Working Capital Loan and the Additional Working Capital Loan from funds that are released to the Company from the Trust Account or, at the option of the Sponsor, convert all or a portion of the Extension Loans and up to $1,500,000 of the Initial Working Capital Loan and the Additional Working Capital Loan into Private Shares at a price of $10.00 per private share, which Private Shares will be identical to the Private Shares described herein. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Extension Loans, the Initial Working Capital Loan and the Additional Working Capital Loan only from funds held outside of the Trust Account (see Note 8). Following receipt of the Initial Working Capital Loan from the Sponsor in the amount of $775,000 on May 12, 2023 and the Additional Working Capital Loan from the Sponsor in the amount of $710,000 on August 10, 2023, of which of which $110,000 was funded on August 10, 2023 and $600,000 is available for future borrowings, the Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business.business through the extension period ending on February 12, 2024. However, if the estimate of the costs of (i) legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses related to identifying, negotiating and closing an initiala Business Combination, (ii) legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements, (iii) administrative expenses, and (iv) working capital used for miscellaneous expenses and reserves, are less than the actual amount necessary to do so,of such costs, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to a Business Combination. Moreover, if the Combination Period is extended beyond February 12, 2024, the Company would need to obtain additional financing to fund its cash needs during any such further extension period, including the amount required to be deposited in the Trust Account to fund the cost of any further extension and working capital to pay its operating costs during any such further extension period, including expenses relating to its business acquisition activities, and ongoing corporate and administrative expenses. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient funds to continue its operations until completion of a Business Combination, the Company would be forced to cease operations and liquidate. In addition, the Company may need to obtain additional financing or draw on the Working Capital Loans (as defined below) either to complete a Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of the Public Shares in connection with a further extension of the Combination Period beyond August 12, 2024 or upon consummation of a Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, the Company will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following the Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, the Company may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a Business Combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has until May 2023the end of the Combination Period to consummate a Business Combination (or August 2023 if extended (discussed above)). It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after May 2023.February 2024. 

We may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company since such initial business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.

The Sponsor would likely be considered by Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) to be “controlled” (as defined in 31 CFR 800.208) by a foreign person, such that the Sponsor’s involvement in the Business Combination would likely be a “covered transaction” (as defined in 31 CFR800.213). In addition, it is possible that non-U.S. persons could be involved in the Business Combination, which may increase the risk that the Business Combination becomes subject to regulatory review, including review by the CFIUS, and that restrictions, limitations or conditions will be imposed by CFIUS. If the Business Combination with a U.S. business is subject to CFIUS review, the scope of which was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”), to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subjects certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If the Business Combination with a U.S. business falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, the Company may determine that it is required to make a mandatory filing or that it will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the Business Combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the Business Combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay the Business Combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to the Business Combination or order the Company to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, which may limit the attractiveness of or prevent the Company from pursuing certain initial Business Combination opportunities that it believes would otherwise be beneficial to it and its stockholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which the Company could complete the Business Combination may be limited and the Company may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues. A failure to notify CFIUS of a transaction where such notification was required or otherwise warranted based on the national security considerations presented by an investment target may expose the Sponsor and/or the combined company to legal penalties, costs, and/or other adverse reputational and financial effects, thus potentially diminishing the value of the combined company. In addition, CFIUS is actively pursuing transactions that were not notified to it and may ask questions regarding, or impose restrictions or mitigation on, an initial Business Combination post-closing.

Moreover, the process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and the Company has limited time to complete the Business Combination. If the Company cannot complete the Business Combination because the transaction is still under review or because the Business Combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, the Company may be required to liquidate. If the Company liquidates, the Company’s public stockholders may only receive their pro rate portion of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to public stockholders. This would cause public stockholders to lose the investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on their investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), our activities would be severely restricted.

The funds in the Trust Account have, since our IPO, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. Even prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement in connection with our IPO, we may be deemed to be an investment company. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, following and even prior to the 24-month anniversary, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, in which case we may be required to liquidate the Company. The risk of being deemed subject to the Investment Company Act may increase the longer the Company holds securities (i.e., the longer past two years the securities are held), and also may increase to the extent the funds in the Trust Account are not held in cash. Accordingly, we may determine, in our discretion, to transfer the investments held in the Trust Account at any time and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in interest-bearing accounts, which would further reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted. In addition, we would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements. We do not believe that our principal activities will subject us to regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. However, if we are deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. As a result, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete a Business Combination and instead liquidate the Company. If we are required to liquidate, our stockholders will miss the opportunity to benefit from an investment in a target company and the appreciation in value of such investment through a Business Combination. Additionally, if we are required to liquidate, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

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

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus for its Initial Public Offering as filed with the SEC on February 10, 2022, as well as the Company’s CurrentAnnual Report on Form 8-K, as10-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2022.April 17, 2023. The interim results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 20222023 or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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. The Company has not experienced losses on this account.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At March 31, 2022,June 30, 2023, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are 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 investments held in the Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. Fair values of these investments are determined by Level 1 inputs utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2021.2022.

Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1, SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering”, and SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5T – “Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s)”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction of equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $16,724,021 as a result of the IPO (consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting commissions, $6,037,500 of deferred underwriting commissions, $6,317,382 in excess fair value of anchor investor shares, and $919,139 of other offering costs). The Company recorded $16,343,583 of offering costs as a reduction of temporary equity in connection with the Public Shares included in the Units. The Company recorded $380,438 as a reduction of permanent equity in connection with the Public Warrants and Private Shares included in the Units that was classified as equity.

Anchor Investors

The Company complies with SAB Topic 5.A to account for the valuation of the Founder sharesShares acquired by the Anchor Investors. The founder sharesFounder Shares purchased by the Anchor Investors represent a capital contribution for the benefit of the Company and are recorded as offering costs and reflected as a reduction in the proceeds from the offering and offering expenses in accordance with ASC 470 and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. As such, upon sale of the Founder sharesShares to the Anchor Investors the valuation of these shares were recognized as a deferred offering cost and charged to temporary equity and stockholders’ equity. At February 11, 2022, the Fairfair value of the Founder sharesShares to the Anchor Investors in excess of the amount paid was $6,317,382.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company complies with ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation regarding founder sharesFounder Shares acquired by a director and officer of the Company at the same price acquired by the Sponsor. The acquired shares shall vest upon the Company consummating an initiala Business Combination (the “Vesting Date”). If prior to the Vesting Date, the director of officer is removed from office or ceases to be a director or officer, the Company will have the right to repurchase the individual’s founder sharesFounder Shares at the price paid by the individual. The founder sharesFounder Shares owned by the director or officer (1) may not be sold or transferred, until six months after the consummation of a Business Combination, (2) not be entitled to redemption from the funds held in the Trust Account, or any liquidating distributions. The Company hashad 15 months from the date of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination as such deadline may be extended for an additional three-month period for a total of up to 18 months, and if a Business Combination is not consummated, the Company will liquidate and the shares will become worthless. On May 8, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors elected to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from May 11, 2023 to August 11, 2023 and the Company’s Sponsor subsequently deposited $1,725,000 to the Trust Account with respect to the extension (see Note 8). Following the Company’s special meeting on August 10, 2023 the Company announced that its stockholders, among other proposals, approved certain amendments to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation extending the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from August 11, 2023 to February 12, 2024 and the Company’s Sponsor deposited $625,000 to the Trust Account with respect to such extension (see Note 8).

The shares were issued on March 31, 2021, and the shares vest, not upon a fixed date, but upon consummation of an initiala Business Combination. Since the approach in ASC 718 is to determine the fair value without regard to the vesting date, the Company has determined the valuation of the Class B shares as of March 31, 2021. The valuation resulted in a fair value of $4.21 per share as of March 31, 2021, or an aggregate of $842,295 for the 200,189 shares. The aggregate amount paid for the transferred shares was approximately $900. The excess fair value over the amount paid is $841,395, which is the amount of share-based compensation expense which the Company will recognize upon consummation of an initiala Business Combination.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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 fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The Company’s financial instruments are classified as either Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. These tiers include:

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instruments are initially 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. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in the balance sheets 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 to be issued in the IPO meet the requirements for equity classification. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from February 8, 2022 to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. This over-allotment option meets the requirements as a derivative instrument. On February 18, 2022, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option resulting in the de-recognition of the over-allotment option on the condensed balance sheet.sheets.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accountingaccounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized forASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amountsrecognition of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances arevaluation allowance to be established when necessary, to reduceit is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. Our effective tax rates were 24.7% and 0.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 26.0% and 0.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, due to the amount expectedvaluation allowance on the deferred tax assets.

While ASC 740 identifies usage of an effective annual tax rate for purposes of an interim provision, it does allow for estimating individual elements in the current period if they are significant, unusual or infrequent. Computing the effective tax rate for the Company is complicated due to the potential impact of the timing of any Business Combination expenses and the actual interest income that will be recognized during the year. The Company has taken a position as to the calculation of income tax expense in a current period based on ASC 740-270-25-3 which states, “If an entity is unable to estimate a part of its ordinary income (or loss) or the related tax (benefit) but is otherwise able to make a reasonable estimate, the tax (or benefit) applicable to the item that cannot be estimated shall be reported in the interim period in which the item is reported.” The Company believes its calculation to be realized.a reliable estimate and allows it to properly take into account the usual elements that can impact its annualized book income and its impact on the effective tax rate. As such, the Company is computing its taxable income (loss) and associated income tax provision based on actual results through June 30, 2023.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attributeprocess for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax positionsposition taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than notmore-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.

Net incomeIncome (Loss) per Common Share

Net income/income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. On February 22, 2021, the Company effected a stock dividend of 0.5 shares for each share of Class B common stock outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 4,312,500 Founder Shares. On November 17, 2021, the Company effected a stock dividend of 1/3 of a share for each share of Class B common stock outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor, byNordic Holdings and certain officers and directors holding an aggregate of 5,750,000 founder shares.Founder Shares.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in-capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded an increase in the redemption value of $3,441,343 as a result of earnings on the Trust Account that exceed amounts payable for taxes and additional funding.

The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 9.8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events other than discussed below that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements. 

At a special meeting of the Company on August 10, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to eliminate the requirement that the Company retain at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following the redemption of Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination, and (ii) to extend the Combination Period from August 11, 2023 to February 12, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors, in its sole discretion, and to allow the Company by resolution of the board without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the Combination Period by one additional month, for a total of six additional months, until August 12, 2024, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto. In connection with the amendments to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company notified stockholders that the Company’s Sponsor funded a deposit of $625,000 into the Trust Account and that the Company will only exercise any monthly extension after February 12, 2024 if the Sponsor or one of its affiliates or designees deposits into the Trust Account the lesser of $105,000 or $0.04 per outstanding Public Share with respect to each such extension. The Company issued to the Sponsor a convertible promissory note in the amount of $625,000 in connection with the Sponsor’s funding of the $625,000 extension deposit (the “Additional Extension Loan”). In addition, on August 10, 2023 the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $710,000 to the Sponsor to provide the Company with additional working capital, of which $11,000 was funded on August 10, 2023 and $600,000 is available for future borrowings (the “Additional Working Capital Loan”).

As of March 31, 2022,June 30, 2023, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $175,950,713$183,218,688 consisting of money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through March 31, 2022,For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we have not withdrawn any$1,377,280 of interest earned on the Trust Account for the payment of franchise or income taxes.  

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of March 31, 2022, weJune 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $1,235,078$1,056,328 not held in the Trust Account and available for working capital purposes. On May 8, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors elected to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from May 11, 2023 to August 11, 2023 and the Company’s Sponsor subsequently deposited $1,725,000 to the Trust Account with respect to the extension. On May 9, 2023, the Company received the Initial Extension Loan from the Sponsor and on May 12, 2023, the Company received the Initial Working Capital Loan from the Sponsor. In connection with certain amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation approved by stockholders on August 10, 2023, (i) the deadline for the Company to complete a Business Combination was extended, (ii) the Company’s Sponsor funded a $625,000 deposit into the Trust Account, and (iii) the Company issued to the Sponsor a convertible promissory note in the amount of $625,000 in connection with the Sponsor’s funding of the extension (the “Additional Extension Loan” and collectively with the Initial Extension Loan, the “Extension Loans”) and a convertible promissory note to the Sponsor in the amount of $710,000 in connection with the Sponsor’s funding of the Company’s working capital needs, of which $110,000 was funded on August 10, 2023 and $600,000 is available for future borrowings (the “Additional Working Capital Loan”). The amendments to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation extend the Combination Period to February 12, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, and allow the Company to further extend the Combination Period by one month up to a total of six months, until August 12, 2024, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto, provided that the Company’s Sponsor deposits the lesser of $105,000 or $0.04 per outstanding Public Share into the Trust Account with respect to each such one-month extension.

If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would expect to repay the Extension Loans, the Initial Working Capital Loan and the Additional Working Capital Loan from funds that are released to the Company from the Trust Account or, at the option of the Sponsor, convert all or a portion of the Extension Loans and up to $1,500,000 of the Initial Working Capital Loan and the Additional Working Capital Loan into Private Shares at a price of $10.00 per private share, which Private Shares will be identical to the Private Shares described herein. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Extension Loans, the Initial Working Capital Loan and the Additional Working Capital Loan only from funds held outside of the Trust Account. We intendFollowing receipt of the Initial Working Capital Loan from the Sponsor in the amount of $775,000 on May 12, 2023 and the Additional Working Capital Loan from the Sponsor in the amount of $710,000, of which $110,000 was funded on August 10, 2023 and $600,000 is available for future borrowings, the Company does not believe it will need to useraise additional funds in order to meet the funds held outsideexpenditures required for operating its business through the Trust Account primarily forextension period ending on February 12, 2024. However, if the estimate of the costs of (i) legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses related to identifying, negotiating and completing an initialclosing a Business Combination, (ii) legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements, (iii) administrative expenses, and (iv) working capital used for miscellaneous expenses and reserves. We believe that our cash held outside of the Trust Account, together with interest earned on the Trust Account and available for withdrawal to pay taxes, will be sufficient to fund our cash needs over the next 12 months.

In order to fund any working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be converted upon completion of a Business Combination into shares of the Class A common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, at the option of the lender.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combinationreserves, are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, weof such costs, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate ourits business prior to oura Business Combination. Moreover, weif the Combination Period is extended beyond February 12, 2024, the Company would need to obtain additional financing to fund its cash needs during any such further extension period, including the amount required to be deposited in the Trust Account to fund the cost of any further extension and working capital to pay its operating costs during any such further extension period, including expenses relating to its business acquisition activities, and ongoing corporate and administrative expenses. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient funds to continue its operations until completion of a Business Combination, the Company would be forced to cease operations and liquidate. In addition, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete oura Business Combination or because we becomeit becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of ourthe Public Shares in connection with a further extension of the Combination Period beyond August 12, 2024 or upon consummation of oura Business Combination, in which case wethe Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, the Company will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following the Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, the Company may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a Business Combination,business combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has until May 2023February 12, 2024 or the end of any further extension period to consummate a Business Combination (or August 2023 if extendedbusiness combination (discussed above)). It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combinationbusiness combination by this time. If a Business Combinationbusiness combination is not consummated by this date,February 12, 2024 or during any further extension period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after May 2023.February 12, 2024 or at the end of any further extension period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

We began incurring thesethe administrative support services fees on February 8, 2022 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

Critical Accounting Policies

We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Financial Statements included in this report. Our audited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies require that the Company’s management apply significant judgments in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company’s management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Judgments are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, industry trends and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and, therefore, actual results could differ from our estimates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

UnderIn February 2022, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s accounting for certain deferred contingent transaction costs. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management has implemented remediation steps to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we expanded and improved our review process for accrued, deferred or contingent expenses and related accounting standards. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identifying third-party professionals with whom to consult on complex questions regarding accounting for accrued, deferred or contingent expenses, and improving the processes for sharing, approving and evaluating contractual arrangements and invoices related to accrued, deferred or contingent expenses. We believe that the actions described above will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weakness and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than as described above and elsewhere in this Report, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
