The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage emerging growth companies.
As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 5, 2022 (inception) through September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, relates to the Company’s formationorganizational activities, those necessary to prepare for and complete the initial public offering (“IPO”), which is described below.identifying a target company for a business combination, and activities in connection with the proposed Longevity Business Combination. The Company willdoes not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial Business Combination, at the earliest.Combination. The Company will generateis generating non-operating income in the form of interest income from the investment of
proceeds
derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company’s sponsor is Denali Capital Global Investments LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
Financing
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO became effective on April 6, 2022. On April 11, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 8,250,000 units (including over-allotment of 750,000 units) (“Public Units”). Each Public Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share (such shares included in the Public Units, the “Public Shares”), and one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Public Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $82,500,000, which is described in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 510,000 units (including over-allotment of 30,000 units) (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement generating gross proceeds of $5,100,000, which is described in Note 4. Transaction costs amounted to $5,105,315, consisting of $1,650,000 of underwriting fees, $2,887,500 of deferred underwriters’ fees and $567,815 of other offering costs, and were all
initially
charged to
shareholders’
equity.
Trust Account
Following the consummation of the IPO on April 11, 2022, a total of $84,150,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO including proceeds fromand the sale of the Private Placement Units was deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and will be . The net proceeds were
invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.
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 Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The stock exchange listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriters’ fees and taxes payable on the interest income earned on the Trust Account). 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. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

Business Combination
The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer in connection with the Business Combination. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination (initially anticipated to be $10.20 per Public Unit, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). The Public Shares subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Equity” (“ASC 480”).
The Company will not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (so that it does not then become subject to the “penny stock” rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)) either prior to or upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. However, a greater net tangible asset or cash requirement may be contained in the agreement relating to the Business Combination. The Company will have onlyinitially had until April 11, 2023, 12 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 18 months from the closing of the IPO, if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination) to complete the initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”).

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 18 months from the closing of the IPO, if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination).Combination Period.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or by 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 (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 Public Share
due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party or prospective target 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, then the Company’s Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims.
 
On January 25, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Longevity Biomedical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Longevity”), Denali SPAC Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“New PubCo”), Denali SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New PubCo (“Denali Merger Sub”), Longevity Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New PubCo (“Longevity Merger Sub”), and Bradford A. Zakes, solely in the capacity as seller representative.  
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the parties thereto will enter into a business combination transaction (the “Longevity Business Combination” and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), pursuant to which, among other things, immediately following the consummation of the acquisitions by Longevity of each of Cerevast Medical, Inc., Aegeria Soft Tissue LLC, and Novokera LLC, (i) Denali Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Denali Merger”), with the Company as the surviving entity of the Denali Merger, and (ii) Longevity Merger Sub will merge with and into Longevity (the “Longevity Merger”), with Longevity as the surviving company of the Longevity Merger. Following the Mergers, each of Longevity and the Company will be a subsidiary of New PubCo, and New PubCo will become a publicly traded company. At the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”), New PubCo will change its name to Longevity Biomedical, Inc., and its common stock is expected to list on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “LBIO.”
The consummation of the proposed Longevity Business Combination is subject to certain conditions as further described in the Merger Agreement.
Although there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination, the Business Combination is expected to be consummated after the required approval by the shareholders of the Company and the satisfaction of certain other conditions.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the sole stockholder of Longevity (the “Voting Stockholder”) has entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (the “Longevity Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the Voting Stockholder has agreed to, among other things, (i) vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Transactions. The Voting Stockholder holds sufficient shares of Longevity to cause the approval of the Transactions on behalf of Longevity.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company, Longevity and the Sponsor have entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”). The Sponsor Support Agreement provides that the Sponsor agrees (i) to vote in favor of the proposed transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) to appear at the purchaser special meeting for purposes of constituting a quorum, (iii) to vote against any proposals that would materially impede the proposed transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (iv) to not redeem any of the Company’s ordinary shares held by it that may be redeemed, and (v) to waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association with respect to the Class B ordinary shares of the Company held by the Sponsor, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement.
In support of the Transactions, the Sponsor and FutureTech Capital LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company and an entity controlled by Yuquan Wang, the Chairman of the Board of Longevity
(the “Investor”), entered into a Sponsor Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated November 8, 2022 (the “MIPA”). The
Investor currently holds notes payable from Longevity
in the aggregate principal amount of $2.45 million that are convertible into approximately 1.6 million shares
of
Longevity
common stock, and is also an affiliate of a significant group of stockholders of Cerevast Medical, Inc. Pursuant to the MIPA, the
Investor agreed to purchase 625,000 Class B units of membership interests in the Sponsor (“Sponsor Membership Units”) for a total purchase price of $5 million, $2 million of which has been paid in exchange for 250,000 Sponsor Membership Units as of the date of the Merger Agreement.  Pursuant to the MIPA, the Investor has agreed to pay the $3 million balance of the purchase price for the remaining 375,000 Sponsor Membership Units no later than two business days prior to the closing of the Longevity Business Combination.  Each Sponsor Membership Unit entitles
the
Investor to receive one Class B ordinary share held by the Sponsor, each of which will convert into one share of New PubCo common stock at the closing of the Longevity Business Combination. The Investor also agreed pursuant to the MIPA to pay any extension fees required to extend the time to close the Longevity Business Combination and to reimburse the Sponsor’s incurred expenses related to the Longevity Business Combination if the Longevity Business Combination does not close.

10
On January 26, 2023, the Company filed a Form 8-K/A with the SEC to report the Merger Agreement and other legal agreements relating to the Longevity Business Combination.
On March 29, 2023, Denali SPAC HoldCo
, Inc.
filed a Form S-4 with the SEC to register shares of its common stock that will be issued in connection with the business combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
On April 11, 2023, the parties to the Merger Agreement and the Sponsor entered into an Amendment to and Consent under the Merger Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides for the consent from the Company and the Seller Representative to the execution and issuance of the Convertible Promissory Note (as defined below) by the Company and amends the Merger Agreement to provide that the repayment of such Convertible Promissory Note by the Company at the closing of the business combination will not be given effect when calculating the Minimum Cash Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement) for purposes of the minimum cash closing condition.
On April 11, 2023, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Promissory Note”) in the total principal amount of up to $825,000 to the Sponsor. The Convertible Promissory Note was issued with an initial principal balance of $412,500, with the remaining $412,500 drawable at Denali’s request prior to the maturity of the Convertible Promissory Note. The Convertible Promissory Note bears an interest equivalent to the lowest short-term Applicable Federal Rate, and matures upon the earlier of (i) the closing of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. At the option of the Sponsor, upon consummation of a business combination, the Convertible Promissory Note may be converted in whole or in part into additional Class A ordinary shares of the Company, at a conversion price of $10 per ordinary share (the “Conversion Shares”). The terms of the Conversion Shares will be identical to those of the Private Placement Shares that were issued to the Sponsor in connection with the IPO. In the event that we do not consummate a business combination, the Convertible Promissory Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.
On April 12, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing that it deposited $825,000
 into the Trust Account, 
50% of this amount being a loan from the Sponsor in the form of convertible promissory note,
in order to extend the period of time it has to consummate a business combination by an additional three months, from the current deadline of April 11, 2023 to July 11, 2023 (the “Extension”).
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern Consideration
T
heThe Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the
I
PO
IPO had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of
$25,000
(see $25,000 (see Note 5) for the Founder Sharesfounder shares and the loan under an unsecured promissory note

from the Sponsor of up to
$400,000 
(see $400,000 (see Note 5) which was fully repaid on December 31, 2021.April 12, 2022. Subsequent to the consummation of the
IPO
, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation and sale of the
IPO
and the
sale of Private Placement Units on April 11, 2022, a total of $84,150,000 was placed in a private placement to the Sponsor,
Trust Account, and we had $1,515,795 of cash held outside of the Trust Account. Account, after payment of costs related to the IPO, and available for working capital purposes. In connection with the IPO, the Company incurred $5,105,315 in transaction costs, consisting of $1,650,000 of underwriting fees, $2,887,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $567,815 of other offering costs.
As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of
$86,284,246. The Company intends 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 the Business Combination. To the extent that the Company’s share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a 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 the Company’s growth strategies.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash of
$985,578
$579,350 outside of the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete the Longevity Business Combination, it intends to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and working capitalevaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of $1,027,202.prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

As described above, on
January 25, 2023, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement, by and among Longevity, New PubCo, Denali Merger Sub, Longevity Merger Sub, and Bradford A. Zakes, solely in the capacity as seller representative.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had a working deficit of
$ 2,305,553. In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or 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, provideloan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, it would repay such loaned amounts without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside of the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units of the post-business combination entity, at a price of
, as defined below
(see Note 5).$10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
 On April 11, 2023, Denali issued a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Promissory Note”) in the total principal amount of up to $825,000 to the Sponsor. The Convertible Promissory Note was issued with an initial principal balance of $412,500, with the remaining $412,500 drawable at Denali’s request prior to the maturity of the Convertible Promissory Note.


Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will not have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlierconsummation of the consummationinitial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a Business Combination or one year from

Risks and Uncertainties

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X
under the Securities Act
.Act. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus, which contains the initial audited financial statements and notes thereto for the period from January 5, 2022 (inception) to February 7, 2022, asreport on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022, and the Company’s report on Form 8-K, which contains the Company’s audited balance sheet and notes thereto17, 2023. The condensed consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 11,December 31, 2022 aspresented in this Form 10-Q has been derived from the audited Balance Sheet filed within the SEC on April 15, 2022.aforementioned Form 10-K. The interim results for the period from January 5, 2022 (inception) to September 30, 2022
three months ended March 31, 2023 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
fiscal year
ending December 31, 20222023 or for any future interim periods.
Emerging Growth Company 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 Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbindingnon-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and
shareholder
approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

12
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 consolidated 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 the unaudited condensed
consolidated
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

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 on September 30, 2022.
March 31, 2023

Investments
Investment Held in Trust Account
The Company’s portfolio of investmentsinvestment held in the Trust Account is comprised of investmentsan investment in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof.value. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities
and interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account are
included in income on Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed 
consolidated 
statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investmentsinvestment held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Offering Costs
 
Offering costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $5,105,315$
5,105,315 consisting principally of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO and were
initially
charged to
shareh
o
lder
s’ shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A - “Expenses of Offering
Offering”.
The Company allocates offering costs between the Public Shares and Public Warrants (as defined below in Note 3) based on the relative fair values of the Public Shares and Public Warrants. Accordingly, $4,488,135 was allocated to the Public Shares and charged to temporary equity, and $617,180 was allocated to Public Warrants and charged to
shareholders’
equity/(deficit).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the
condensed consolidated
balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC 815.815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under FASB ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

13
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company accounts for
the
8,250,000 Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and 510,000 Private
Placement
 Warrants (as defined in Note 4) as equity-classified instruments.
The over

allotment liabilities during the period from January 5, 2022 to September 30, 2022 are not material to these financial statements.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company account
s
accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) isare classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) isare classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as
shareholders’
equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and
are
subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30,March 31, 2023
 and December 31, 2022
, 8,250,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the
shareholders’
equity deficit section of the Company’s unaudited
condensed balance sheet.

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.
Net Income/(Loss) Per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per redeemable and non-redeemable ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of
93,750 Founder Shares
founder shares that were forfeited
during the three months ended June 30, 2022,
due to the underwriters’ partial exercise of thetheir over-allotment option. AnyIn order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares.

14
Subsequent measurement adjustments recorded pursuant to ASC 480-10-S99-3A related to redeemable shares are treated in the same manner as dividends on non-redeemable shares. Class A ordinary shares are redeemable at a price determined by the Trust Account held by the Company. This redemption price is not considered a redemption at fair value. Accordingly, the adjustments to the carrying amount are reflected in the Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) using the two-class method. The Company has elected to apply the two-class method by treating the entire periodic adjustment to the carrying amount of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption like a dividend.
Based on the above, any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption wasis considered to be dividends paid to the Public Shareholders.
Warrants issued are contingently exercisable (i.e.,
on the later of 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO). For
Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
purposes, EPS purpose, the warrants are anti-dilutive since they would generally not be reflected in basic or diluted EPS until the contingency is resolved.
As of September 30,March 31, 2023
 and 2022
, the Company did not have any other dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income (loss) per ordinary share is the same as basic earnings

Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740,
,
“Income “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 statementstatements 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 statementstatements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statementstatements 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.

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,March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction.jurisdiction and the location of all members of management, sponsors, directors, any employees or assets to the extent employed is the United States.
The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal and state taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next 12 months.


There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and for the period from January 5, 2022 (inception) through September 30,March 31, 2022.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 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 U.S. GAAP. 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.  ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company has not adopted ASU 2020-06 yet and has not determined how applying it will impact the
condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed
consolidated
financial statements.
NOTE 3 - INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On April 11, 2022, the Company soldconsummated the IPO of 8,250,000 Public Units, inclusive of 750,000 Public Units issued pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. The Public Units were sold at a purchase price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $82,500,000 (including 750,000 Public Units pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option) related to the IPO.$82,500,000. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one Public Warrant. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Public Share at a price of $11.50 per share, and only whole warrants are exercisable.share.
The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation (see Note 7).

Each whole Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (“Private Placement Shares”) and one warrant (“Private Placement Warrants”). Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Certain of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account.
If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 1215 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 18 months from the closing of the IPO, if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination), the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Units and all underlying securities will expire worthless. The Private Placement Units will not be transferable, assignable, or saleable until 30 days after the completion of an initial Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.

The sale of the founder shares to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and to certain members of the Company’s board of directors is in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 130,000 shares granted to the Company’s directors and executive officers was $1,005,964 or $7.74 per share. The founder shares were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the founder shares is recognized only when the performance condition is of 
probable
occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. As of March 31, 2023, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of founder shares times the fair value per share at the grant date (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the founder shares.

Prior to the Company’s initial Business Combination, only holders of Class B ordinary shares will have the right to vote on the appointment of directors and holders of a majority of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares may remove a member of the board of directors
of the Company
for any reason. In addition, in a vote to continue the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (which requires the approval of at least two thirdstwo-thirds of the votes of all ordinary shares voted at a general meeting), holders of Founder Sharesfounder shares will have ten votes for every Founder Sharefounder share and holders of Class A ordinary shares will have one vote for every Class A ordinary share and, as a result, the Company’s initial

The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

of the Company
and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Sharesfounder shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of an initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of Class A ordinary shares during the 20-trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates an 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 or the Newly Issued Price and the $16.50 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 165% of the higher of the Market Value or the Newly Issued Price.

The Company ishas not registeringregistered the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. However, 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, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and it will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following the initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed; provided, thatredeemed. Notwithstanding the above, 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 its 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 elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Redemption of Warrants
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:
 
·
in whole and not in part;part;
·
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;warrant;
·
upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, which is referred to as the 30-day redemption period;period; and
·
if, and only if, the last reported sale price of ordinary shares equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, andadjustments to the like)number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
 
The Company will not redeem the warrants unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, its management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” the Company’s management will consider, among other factors, the cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on the Company’s shareholders of issuing the maximum number of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s warrants. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average volume weighted average last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.
NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
 
20
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.


16
 
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
 
The following tabletables presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30,March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

On April 11, 2023, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Promissory Note”) in the total principal amount of up to $825,000 to the Sponsor. The Convertible Promissory Note was issued with an initial principal balance of $412,500, with the remaining $412,500 drawable at Denali’s request prior to the maturity of the Convertible Promissory Note.

At the option of the Sponsor, upon consummation of a business combination, the Convertible Promissory Note may be converted in whole or in part into additional Class A ordinary shares of the Company, at a conversion price of $10 per ordinary share (the “Conversion Shares”). The terms of the Conversion Shares will be identical to those of the Private Placement Shares that were issued to the Sponsor in connection with the IPO. In the event that we do not consummate a business combination, the Convertible Promissory Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

Each whole Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (“Private Placement Shares”) and one warrant, (“Private Warrants”), each whole Private Warrantwarrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Private Placement Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $5,100,000.


Following the closing of the IPO and sale of the Private Placement Units on April 11, 2022, a total of $84,150,000 was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Wilmingtonthe Trust National Association, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”),Account, and we had $1,515,795 of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the IPO, and available for working capital purposes.

Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans. Management plans to address this uncertainty during the period leading up to the initial Business Combination.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Companywe will not have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet itsour needs through the earlierconsummation of the consummationinitial business combination. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a Business Combination or one year frompotential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

In case the Company is unable to consummate the initial Business Combination by April 6, 2023, it will seek to extend the combination period up to 18 months from the date of the IPO by resolution of the board of directors of the Company. In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate an initial Business Combination for an additional three months, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees must deposit into the Trust Account $825,000, (or $0.1 per share) or up to an aggregate of $1,500,000, or ($0.20) per share, on or prior to the date of the deadline. The Company will issue a press release announcing each extension at least three days prior to the deadline. In addition, it will issue a press release the day after the deadline, announcing whether the funds have been timely deposited. The Sponsor and its affiliates or designees are obligated to fund the Trust Account in order to extend the time for us to complete our initial Business Combination, but the Sponsor will not be obligated to extend such time.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensedpreparation of consolidated financial statements are presentedand related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and pursuantassumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. 
Please refer to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Emerging Growth Company 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 Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company will account for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in the FinancialCritical Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares will feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and will be subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2022, 8,250,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equityPolicies section of the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheet.
The Company recognizesAnnual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2023. There have been no 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 or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under FASB ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company accounts for the 8,250,000 Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and 510,000 Private Warrants (as defined in Note 4) as equity-classified instruments.

Net Income/(Loss) Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 93,750 Founder Shares that were forfeited due to the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the Public Shareholders. Warrants issued are contingently exercisable (i.e., on the later of 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO). For Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) purposes, the warrants are anti-dilutive since they would generally not be reflected in basic or diluted EPS until the contingency is resolved. As of September 30, 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted profit (loss) per ordinary share is the same as basic earnings per ordinary share for the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 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 U.S. GAAP. 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. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024, and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company has not adopted ASU 2020-06 yet and has not determined how applying it will impact the condensed consolidated financial statements.


Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’sour consolidated financial statements.

RISK FACTORS.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this QuarterlyQuarter Report are any of the risks describedcontained in our final prospectusregistration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 263123) filed in connection with our IPO, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the annual period ended December 31, 2022, and the Registration Statement on Form S-4 by Denali SPAC Holdco, Inc., relating to our IPOproposed business combination with Longevity (File No. 333-270917), as filed with the SEC on April 7,March 17, 2023 and March 29, 2023, respectively. 

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the annual period ended December 31, 2022, and in other filingsthe Registration Statement on Form S-4 by Denali SPAC Holdco, Inc., relating to our proposed business combination with Longevity (File No. 333-270917), as filed with the SEC as described below. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. WeMarch 17, 2023 and March 29, 2023, respectively. However, we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Additional risk factors not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in (i) our final prospectus for our IPO filed with the SEC on April 7, 2022, and (ii) our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on August 12, 2022. except for the following:
Changes in laws or regulations or in how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, may adversely affect our business, investments and results of operations, and our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination.

We are subject to laws and regulations, and interpretations and applications of such laws and regulations enacted by national, regional, state and local governments and, potentially, non-U.S. jurisdictions. In particular, we will be required to comply with certain SEC and other legal and regulatory requirements, and our consummation of an initial Business Combination may be contingent upon our ability to comply with certain laws, regulations,
interpretations
and applications and any post-business combination company may be subject to additional laws, regulations, interpretations and applications. Compliance with, and monitoring of, the foregoing may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time, and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations, and our ability to negotiate and complete an initial business combination. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, and our ability to negotiate and complete an initial business combination.
On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) relating to, among other items, enhancing disclosures in business combination transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) and private operating companies; amending the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; changing the treatment of financial projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; increasing the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and a proposed safe harbor for SPACs under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (including certain time limits to announce and consummate a business combination) (the “Investment Company Act”). These proposed rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in revised form, or pursuant to the SEC’s views expressed in the SPAC Rule Proposals, may materially adversely affect our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.


24
The current economic downturn may lead to increased difficulty in completing our initial business combination.
Our ability to consummate our initial Business Combination may depend, in part, on worldwide economic conditions. In recent months, we have observed increased economic uncertainty in the United States and abroad. Impacts of such economic weakness include:
falling overall demand for goods and services, leading to reduced profitability;
reduced credit availability;
higher borrowing costs;
reduced liquidity;
volatility in credit, equity and foreign exchange markets; and
bankruptcies.
These developments could lead to inflation, higher interest rates, and uncertainty about business continuity, which may adversely affect the business of our potential target businesses and create difficulties in obtaining debt or equity financing for our initial Business Combination, as well as leading to an increase in the number of Public Shareholders exercising redemption rights in connection therewith.
Recent volatility in capital markets may affect our ability to obtain financing for our initial Business Combination through sales of ordinary shares or issuance of indebtedness.
With uncertainty in the capital markets and other factors, financing for our initial Business Combination may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of holders of our ordinary shares. Any debt financing secured by us could involve additional restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may limit the operations and growth of the surviving company of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, we could face significant limitations on our ability to complete our initial Business Combination.
Military conflict in Ukraine or elsewhere may lead to increased and price volatility for publicly traded securities, which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination.
Military conflict in Ukraine or elsewhere may lead to increased and price volatility for publicly traded securities, including ours, and to other national, regional and international economic disruptions and economic uncertainty, any of which could make it more difficult for us to identify a business combination target and consummate an initial Business Combination on acceptable commercial terms or at all.
There may be significant competition for us to find an attractive target for an initial Business Combination. This could increase the costs associated with completing our initial Business Combination and may result in our inability to find a suitable target for our initial Business Combination.
In recent years, the number of SPACs that have been formed has increased substantially. Many companies have entered into business combinations with SPACs, and there are still many SPACs seeking targets for their initial business combination, as well as additional SPACs currently in registration. As a result, at times, fewer attractive targets may be available, and it may require more time, effort and resources to identify a suitable target for an initial Business Combination.


25
In addition, because there are a large number of SPACs seeking to enter into an initial Business Combination with available targets, the competition for available targets with attractive fundamentals or business models may increase, which could cause target companies to demand improved financial terms. Attractive deals could also become scarcer for other reasons, such as economic or industry sector downturns, geopolitical tensions or increases in the cost of additional capital needed to close business combinations or operate targets post-business combination. This could increase the cost of, delay or otherwise complicate or frustrate our ability to find a suitable target for and/or complete our initial Business Combination and may result in our inability to consummate an initial Business Combination on terms favorable to our investors altogether.
If we are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we would expect to abandon our efforts to complete an initial Business Combination and instead to liquidate the Company.
As described further above, the SPAC Rule Proposals relate, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs such as the Company could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. The SPAC Rule Proposals would provide a safe harbor for such companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria, including a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the SPAC Rule Proposals would require a company to file a report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for a business combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of its IPO registration statement. A company would then be required to complete its initial business combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of the IPO registration statement.
Because the SPAC Rule Proposals have not yet been adopted, there is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including a company like ours that does not complete its business combination within 24 months after the effective date of the IPO registration statement.
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 would expect to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead to liquidate the Company.
To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we may, at any time, instruct the trustee to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of securities in the Trust Account, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount our Public Shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.
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. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we may, at any time, and we expect that we will, on or prior to the 12-month anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement, instruct Wilmington Trust, National Association, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of consummation of our initial Business Combination or liquidation of the Company. Following such movement of funds, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any. As a result, any decision to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash would reduce the dollar amount our Public Shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.


26
In addition, even prior to the 12-month anniversary of the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement, 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, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate the Company. Accordingly, we may determine, in our discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account at any time, even prior to the 12-month anniversary, and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash, which would further reduce the dollar amount our Public Shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern.”
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations under applicable accounting standards, management has determined that our possible need for additional financing to enable us to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, as well as the deadline by which we may be required to liquidate our Trust Account, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report were issued. In case the Company is unable to consummate the initial Business Combination by April 6, 2023, it will seek to extend the combination period up to 18 months from the date of the IPO.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
On February 3, 2022, the Sponsor acquired 2,156,250 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. The issuance of such Founder Shares to the Sponsor was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
None.

Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 510,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $5,100,000.
The Private Placement Shares sold as part of the Private Placement Units are identical to the Public Shares sold as part of the Public Units in the IPO, except that the Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The issuance of the Private Placement Shares was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
A total of $84,150,000, comprised of $80,850,000 of the proceeds from the IPO, and $3,300,000 of the proceeds from the Private Placement, were placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Wilmington Trust, acting as trustee.
For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in the Private Placement, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10‑Q.
