NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Opes Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on July 24, 2017. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business transaction with one or more operating businesses or entities that the Company has not yet identified (a “Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to, a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focusthose discussed in our Annual Report on businesses in Mexico.

All activity through March 31, 2018 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination.

The registration statementForm 10-K for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effectiveyear ended January 2, 2023 and this Quarterly Report on March 13, 2018. On March 16, 2018,Form 10-Q, and in particular, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 400,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement to Axis Public Ventures S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Axis Public Ventures”), an affiliate of Axis Capital Management (the “Sponsor”), Lion Point Capital (“Lion Point”) and the other stockholders of the Company prior to the Initial Public Offering (“Initial Stockholders”), generating gross proceeds of $4,000,000, which is described in Note 4.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on March 16, 2018, an amount of $101,000,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) which may be 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 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

On March 20, 2018, in connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 1,500,000 Units, and the sale of an additional 45,000 Private Placement Units each at $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $15,450,000. Following the closing, an additional $15,150,000 of the net proceeds ($10.10 per Unit) was placed in the Trust Account, resulting in $116,150,000 ($10.10 per Unit) held in the Trust Account.

Transaction costs amounted to $2,731,946, consisting of $2,300,000 of underwriting fees and $431,946 of other costs. As of March 31, 2018, $559,571 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable) at the time of the signing an 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 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 companyrisks discussed under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its stockholderscaption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of such reports and those discussed in other documents we file 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 stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account ($10.10 per 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 franchise and income tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.


OPES ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2018
(Unaudited)

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, solely if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the outstanding 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, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“(the SEC”). We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company’s credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a proxy solicitation pursuantsyndicate of banks has approximately $52.8 million in financing outstanding as of July 3, 2023, and expires on September 30, 2025. The Credit Agreement contains numerous covenants, including those whereby the Company is required to meet certain trailing twelve-month quarterly financial ratios and a minimum liquidity requirement. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Credit Agreement as of July 3, 2023.

As discussed in Note 8 “Commitments and Contingencies to the proxy rulesconsolidated financial statements included within this report, in the case of Second 82nd SM, LLC v. BF NY 82, LLC et al., the Court entered an order granting the Landlord’s Motion for Summary Judgment and not pursuantordered a damages hearing on the motion. As a result, unless the parties otherwise agree to a settlement prior to the tender offer rules. Ifdamages hearing, the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection withexpects a Business Combination,judgment to be entered against it of at least approximately $1.2 million. The parties, however, continue to discuss possible settlement prior to the Company’s Sponsor anddamages hearing, including re-opening the BurgerFi restaurant, as well as the payment, including timing, of past due rent amounts to the Landlord. In addition, the Company is considering other Initial Stockholders have agreedalternatives, including the need to (a) vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Placement Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares held by them in favor of approving a Business Combination and (b) notrefinance or restructure its debt, sell assets, or seek to convert any shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote forraise additional capital, including debt or against the proposed transaction.

The Company will have until September 16, 2019 (or such later date as may be approved by stockholders) to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”).equity. If the Company is unable to completeimplement one or more of these options or is otherwise unsuccessful in negotiating a Business Combination withinsettlement, which the Combination Period,Company believes is unlikely, and the court entered a final judgment against the Company, management believes it is possible that the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100%not be in compliance with certain of the outstanding Public Shares, atfinancial covenants in its Credit Agreement, which would constitute a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approvalbreach of the remaining stockholdersCredit Agreement and an event of default if not cured in accordance with its terms.


Any such default would allow the Company’s boardlenders to call the debt sooner than its maturity date of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to claims of creditors. Therefore, the actual per-share redemption amount could be less than $10.10.

The Initial Stockholders have (i) waived their redemption rights with respect to Founder Shares, Placement Shares and any Public Shares they may acquire during or after the Initial Public Offering in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, (ii) waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares, Placement Shares and Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4) if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period and (iii) agreed that they will not propose any amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect public stockholders’ ability to convert or sell their shares to the Company in connection with a Business Combination or affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the required time unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares in conjunction with any such amendment. However, the Initial Stockholders will be entitled to liquidating distributions with respect to any Public Shares acquired if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination or liquidates within the Combination Period.

September 30, 2025. 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 vendor 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 below $10.10 per share. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Proposed Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiverthe lenders do call the debt during the next 12 months as the result of a covenant breach, the Company is deemednot forecasted to have the readily available funds to repay the debt, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Principles of Consolidation

The JOBS Act provides that a company can electconsolidated financial statements present the consolidated financial position, results from operations and cash flows of BurgerFi International, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material balances and transactions between the entities have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to opt out of the extended transition period and comply withprior year presentation to conform to 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 balance sheet 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.

Notes to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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 may be subject to potential examination by federal, state and city 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, state and city tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

On December 22, 2017 the U.S.  Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform”) was signed into law. As a result of Tax Reform, the U.S. statutory tax rate was lowered from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, among other changes. ASC Topic 740 requires companies to recognize the effect of tax law changes in the period of enactment; therefore, the Company was required to revalue its deferred tax assets and liabilities at the new rate. The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain tax effects of Tax Reform.

Loss Per Share


Net lossLoss per common share is computed by dividing net lossNet Loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Shares of common stock subject to possible redemption at March 31, 2018, which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings.

8.    Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

John Walker, Individually and On Behalf of all Other Similarly Situated v. BurgerFi International, Inc. et al (in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida, Case No. 023-cv-60657).On April 6, 2023, John Walker, on behalf of himself and other similarly situated plaintiffs, filed a class action lawsuit against the Company and certain current and former executives alleging that the Company violated certain securities laws by making false and misleading statements or failed to disclose that (1) the Company had overstated the effectiveness of its acquisition and growth strategies, and (2) the Company had misrepresented the purported benefits of the Anthony’s acquisition and the post-acquisition business and financial prospects of the Company. On July 20, 2023, the court appointed John Walker and Joseph Poalino as co-lead plaintiffs in the matter. We believe that all claims are meritless and plan to vigorously defend these allegations. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the case described above, and, therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of January 2, 2023 or July 3, 2023; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Second 82nd SM, LLC v. BF NY 82, LLC, BurgerFi International, LLC and BurgerFi International, Inc. (in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York, having index No. 654907/2021 filed August 11, 2021). A lawsuit was filed by Second 82nd SM, LLC (“Landlord”) against BF NY 82, LLC (“Tenant”) whereby Landlord brought a seven-count lawsuit for, among other things, breach of the lease agreement and underlying guaranty of the lease. The amount of damages Landlord is seeking approximately $1.5 million, which constitutes back rent, late charges, real estate taxes, illuminated sign charges and water/sewer charges. On November 3, 2021, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint. On November 17, 2021, the Tenant filed an Answer to Landlord’s Complaint and a cross claim against the Company, which the Company answered on December 7, 2021. On December 22, 2021, the Company filed its Response in Opposition to Landlord’s Motion for Summary Judgment and Memo in further Support of its Motion to Dismiss. The Company turned over possession of the property in early 2023. On July 5, 2023, the Landlord filed a Motion of Summary Judgment seeking approximately $1.2 million in past due rent payments. On August 14, 2023, the Court entered an order granting the Landlord’s Motion for Summary Judgment and ordered a damages hearing on the motion, which has not yet been scheduled. As a result, unless the parties otherwise agree to a settlement prior to the damages hearing, the Company expects a judgment to be entered against it of at least approximately $1.2 million. The parties continue to discuss possible settlement, including re-occupying the location, as well as the payment, including timing, of past due rent amounts to the Landlord. In the event of any such final judgment following the damages hearing, which the Company believes would be unlikely because it intends to enter into a settlement prior to the damages hearing or, if not, plans to raise additional capital prior to any judgment, it is possible the Company would not be in compliance with its Credit Agreement covenants, which could result in an event of default and an acceleration of all outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement. See Risk Factors included in our 2022 Form 10-K for a discussion of the potential material consequences to such an event.

Lion Point Capital, L.P.(“Lion Point”) v. BurgerFi International, Inc. (Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York, Index No. 653099/2022, filed August 26, 2022. A lawsuit filed by Lion Point against the Company, alleging that the Company failed to timely register Lion Point’s shares in violation of the registration rights agreement to which Lion Point is a party, which allegedly resulted in losses in excess of $26 million. In November 2022, as amended in February 2023, the Company filed its answer to the complaint. On April 13, 2023, Lion Point filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, and the Company responded with its reply on June 22, 2023. The Company continues to believe that all claims are meritless and plans to vigorously defend these allegations. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the case described above, and, therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of January 2, 2023 or July 3, 2023; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Burger Guys of Dania Pointe, et. al. v. BFI, LLC (Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, Case No. 50-2021-CA -006501-XXXX-MB filed May 21, 2021). In response to a demand letter issued by BurgerFi to Gino Gargiulo, a former franchisee, demanding that Mr. Gargiulo pay the balance owed under an asset purchase agreement wherein BurgerFi sold the Dania Beach, Florida BurgerFi location to Mr. Gargiulo, Mr. Gargiulo filed suit against BurgerFi claiming, in addition to other matters, that no further monies are owed under the asset purchase agreement and alleges that the Company is responsible for one of Mr. Gargiulo’s failed franchises in Sunny Isles, Florida, losses he has allegedly sustained at his Dania Beach location, and reimbursement of expenses in connection with his marketing company. Mr. Gargiulo seeks damages in excess of $2 million in the aggregate. The parties attended mediation

on January 20, 2022, which ended in an impasse. Mr. Gargiulo amended his complaint in April 2022, which, among other matters, amended the defendant parties. In October 2022, the Company filed an additional motion to dismiss the amended complaint and a motion to stay discovery. In January 2023, Mr. Gargiulo filed a third amended complaint. In March 31, 2018
2023, the Company filed an answer to Mr. Gargiulo’s complaint and a counterclaim against Mr. Gargiulo relating to the breach of the asset purchase agreement discussed above. The matter is scheduled for trial in the second half of 2023. We believe that all Mr. Gargiulo claims are meritless, and the Company plans to vigorously defend these allegations. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the case described above, and, therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of January 2, 2023 or July 3, 2023; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.

All Round Food Bakery Products, Inc. v. BurgerFi International, LLC and Neri’s Bakery Products, Inc. et al(Supreme Court Westchester County, New York (Index Number 52170-2020)). In a suit filed in February 2020, the plaintiff, All Round Food Bakery Products, Inc. (“All Round Food”) alleges breach of contract and lost profits in excess of $1 million over the course of the supply agreement with the Company and Neri’s Bakery Products, Inc. (“Neri’s” and together with the Company, the “Defendants”). The Defendants assert, among other matters, that the supply agreement amongst the parties, whereby All Round Food was warehousing BurgerFi products produced by Neri’s, was terminated when All Round Food failed to cure its material breach of the supply agreement after due notice. The parties attended several additional court ordered mediations during over the last several months to attempt to resolve the dispute, however, no resolution has been reached. We believe that all claims are meritless, and the Company plans to vigorously defend these allegations. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from the case described above, and, therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded as of January 2, 2023 or July 3, 2023; any losses, however, may be material to the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Employment Related Claims.

In July 2021, the Company received a demand letter from the attorney of one of its now former hourly restaurant employees. The letter alleges that the former employee was sexually harassed by one of her co-workers. The demand letter claims that the Company discriminated and retaliated against the former employee based on her gender and age and also alleged intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent hiring, negligent training, and negligent supervision. While the Company entered into a partial settlement with the former employee in December 2022 for a de minimus cash amount relating solely to the discrimination claim, the other claims remain.

While the Company believes that all claims of the above mentioned Employment Related Claims, which are covered under the Company’s insurance policies, are meritless, and it plans to defend these allegations, it is reasonably possible that the Company may ultimately be required to pay damages to the claimants, which could be up to $0.5 million or more in aggregate compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. Management believes that any liability, in excess of applicable insurance coverages or accruals, which may result from these claims, would not be significant to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

General Liability and Other Claims.

The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise during the normal course of business, including landlord disputes, slip and fall cases, and various food related matters. While it intends to vigorously defend these matters, it is reasonably possible that the Company may be required to pay substantial damages to the claimants. Management believes that any liability, in excess of applicable insurance coverages or accruals, which may result from these claims, would not be significant to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Purchase Commitments

From time to time, we enter into purchase commitments for certain food commodities in the normal course of business. As of July 3, 2023, we entered into approximately $3.2 million in unconditional purchase obligations over the next twelve months.

11.    Income Taxes

For the quarter and six months ended July 3, 2023, the Company's effective income tax rate was 0.0%.

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's effective income tax rate was 0.6%, differing from the U.S. corporate statutory federal income tax rate of 21%, and the difference is primarily the result of the valuation allowance applied to reduce the Company’s deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (see Note 7).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering, the Initial Stockholders purchased an aggregate of 400,000 Private Placement Units, at $10.00 per Private Placement Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000. On March 20, 2018, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 45,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, which were purchased by the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $450,000. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of common stock (“Placement Share”) and one warrant (“Placement Warrant”) to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50. The proceeds from the Private Placement Units were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account.

Lion Point has entered into a contingent forward purchase agreement with the Company to purchase, in a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $30,000,000, to occur concurrently with the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, 3,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, on substantially the same terms as the sale of Units in the Initial Public Offering. The funds from the sale of these units may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination; any excess funds may be used for the working capital needs of the post-transaction company. This agreement is independent of the percentage of stockholders electing to redeem their Public Shares and may provide the Company with an increased minimum funding level for the initial Business Combination. The contingent forward purchase agreement is subject to conditions, including Lion Point giving the Company its irrevocable written consent to purchase the units no later than five days after the Company notifies Lion Point of the Company’s intention to meet to consider entering into a definitive agreement for a proposed Business Combination. Lion Point granting its consent to the purchase is entirely within its sole discretion. Accordingly, if it does not consent to the purchase, it will not be obligated to purchase the units.

Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Unit Purchase Option

The public warrants expire in December 2025.


Warrant Liability

The Company has private warrants, which include provisions that affect the settlement amount. Such variables are outside of those used to determine the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed instrument, and as such, the warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, with changes in fair value included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

13.    Fair Value Measurements

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using public market prices, quotes from financial institutions, and other available information. The fair values of cash equivalents, receivables, net, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate their carrying amounts due to their short duration.

The following tables summarize the fair values of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 3, 2023 and January 2, 2023.

In estimating our fair value disclosures for financial instruments, we use the following methods and assumptions:
The fair value of the Company warrant liability is measured at fair value on a recurring basis, classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the private placement warrants, private warrants, and working capital warrants are determined using the publicly-traded price of its common stock on the valuation dates of $1.63 on July 3, 2023 and $1.26 on January 2, 2023. The fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value ofBlack-Scholes model requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the unit purchase option granted tovariables used in the underwriters was estimated as ofcalculation, including the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1)expected term, expected volatility, of 35%, (2) risk-free interest rate, of 2.65%dividend rate and (3) expected life of five years.service period. The optioncalculated warrant price for private warrants was $0.16 and such units purchased pursuant to$0.05 on July 3, 2023 and January 2, 2023.

The input variables for the option, as well as the common stock underlying such units, the warrants included in such units, and the shares underlying such warrants, have been deemed compensation by FINRA andBlack-Scholes are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA’s NASDAQ Conduct Rules. Additionally, the option may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a one-year period (including the foregoing 180-day period) following the date of Initial Public Offering except to any underwriter and selected dealer participatingnoted in the Initial Public Offeringtable below:

The option grants to holders demand and “piggy back” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from March 13, 2018 with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the option. The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions which will be paid for by the holders themselves. The exercise price and number of units issuable upon exercise of the option may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or the Company’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the option will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below its exercise price.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 

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

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

Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets 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.
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 table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurringnon-recurring basis at March 31, 2018include our long-lived assets and December 31, 2017,definite-lived intangible assets which are adjusted to fair value upon impairment. In determining fair value, we used an income-based approach. As a number of assumptions and indicatesestimates were involved that are largely unobservable, they are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchyhierarchy. Assumptions used in these forecasts are consistent with internal planning, and include revenue growth rates, royalties, gross margins, and operating expense in relation to the current economic environment and the Company’s future expectations.


14.    Segment Information

The Company has two operating and reportable segments: BurgerFi and Anthony's.

The Company’s measure of segment income is Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before goodwill impairment, lease termination recovery, share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense (which includes accretion on the value of preferred stock and interest accretion on related party note), restructuring costs, merger, acquisition and integration costs, legal settlements, store closure costs, loss (gain) on change in value of warrant liability, income tax expense (benefit) and (gain) loss on sale of assets. Although the Company had historically considered net income to be an appropriate measure of segment profit and loss, management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a more meaningful measure of the valuation inputsCompany’s performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is used by the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27AFinancial Condition and Results of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. References to “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” are to Opes Acquisition Corp., except where the context requires otherwise. Operations.


The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensedunaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of DelawareQuarterly Report on July 24, 2017 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“business combination”). Our efforts to identify a prospective target business is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region although we are currently focusing our search for target businesses in Mexico.

We consummated our initial public offering of (“Initial Public Offering”) of 10,000,000 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock for $11.50 per share, on March 16, 2018. On March 20, 2018, we consummated the sale of an additional 1,500,000 units subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. All activity through March 16, 2018 relates to our formation and the Initial Public Offering. Since March 16, 2018, we have been searching for a target business with which to complete an initial business combination.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception to March 31, 2018 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. Following the Initial Public Offering, we do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and marketable securities held after the Initial Public Offering. There has been no significant change in our financial position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our audited financial statements included in our registration statement for the Initial Public Offering. We expect that we will incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance),Form 10-Q, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for due diligence expenses.

For the three monthsfiscal year ended March 31, 2018, we had net income of $22,449, which consists of interest income on marketable securities heldJanuary 2, 2023 (the “2022Form 10-K”). Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the Trust Accountforward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the sections of $83,293this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q titled “Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and in Part I. “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the 2022 Form 10-K.

Systemwide Restaurant Sales

“Systemwide Restaurant Sales” are not revenues to the completion of our Business Combination ifCompany, however, the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

As of March 31, 2018, we had cash of $559,571 held outside the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and completeCompany records royalty revenue based as a Business Combination.

Lion Point has entered into a contingent forward purchase agreement with us to purchase, in a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $30,000,000, to occur concurrently with the consummation of our initial Business Combination, 3,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, on substantially the same terms as the sale of Units in the Initial Public Offering. The funds from the sale of these units may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination; any excess funds may be used for the working capital needs of the post-transaction company. This agreement is independent of the percentage of stockholders electing to redeem their Public Shares and may provide us with an increased minimum funding level for the initial Business Combination. The contingent forward purchase agreementSystemwide Restaurant Sales. Systemwide Restaurant Sales is subject to conditions, including Lion Point giving us its irrevocable written consent to purchase the units no later than five days after we notify Lion Point of our intention to meet to consider entering into a definitive agreement for a proposed Business Combination. Lion Point granting its consent to the purchase is entirely within its sole discretion. Accordingly, if it does not consent to the purchase, it will not be obligated to purchase the units.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor, our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds from time to time or at any timepresented as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. 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 to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit at the option of the lender. The Units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

Food, Beverage and Paper Costs

Food, beverage, and paper costs for the quarter ended July 3, 2023 decreased approximately $1.8 million, or 14.1% as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, food, beverage, and paper costs were 26.4% for the quarter ended July 3, 2023 as compared to 29.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower food, beverage, and paper costs for both brands.

Labor and Related Expenses

As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, labor, and related expenses were 31.1% for the quarter ended July 3, 2023 as compared to 29.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. This 190 basis points increase is primarily due to higher per hour labor rates, higher training costs, and lower efficiencies due to turnover at both brands.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses for the quarter ended July 3, 2023 increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 4.6% as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, other operating expenses were 19.0% for the quarter ended July 3, 2023 as compared to 17.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses quarter ended July 3, 2023 decreased by approximately $1.6 million, or 22% as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The change was due to lower merger integration activities, wages, and professional fees incurred during the quarter ended July 3, 2023 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022. During the current quarter, we reduced headcount in our restaurant support center driven by efficiencies gained by merger and integration activities.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense was $3.3 million for the quarter ended July 3, 2023, as compared to $4.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense was $0.6 million for the quarter ended July 3, 2023, as compared to $0.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to lower amortization of restricted stock unit grants during the quarter ended July 3, 2023 as compared to the prior year quarter.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was approximately $2.2 million for the quarter ended July 3, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Interest expense primarily resulted from interest associated with our Credit Agreement, interest accretion on the related party note, and the accretion in value of our outstanding preferred stock.

Loss on Change in Value of Warrant Liability

The Company recorded a non-cash loss of approximately $0.3 million during the quarter ended July 3, 2023, as compared to a non-cash gain of approximately $1.9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, related to a change in the fair value of the warrant liability as a result of an increase in the market price of our outstanding warrants.

Net Loss

Net loss was $6.0 million, as compared with a net loss of $60.4 million for the quarter ended July 3, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

For the six months ended July 3, 2023, the Company’s restaurant sales decreased by approximately $0.5 million or 1% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in same-store sales at BurgerFi partially offset by the additional revenue from new restaurants acquired during 2023 and an increase in same-store sales at Anthony’s.

Total consolidated restaurant level operating expenses as a percentage of restaurant sales was 84.7% for the six months ended ended July 3, 2023, as compared to 85.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 resulting in an improvement of 110 basis points in operating margin. For the Anthony's brand, restaurant-level operating expenses, as a percentage of sales was 82.9%, a decrease of 190 basis points for the six months ended July 3, 2023, as compared to 84.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, driven primarily by higher restaurant sales and lower food costs. For the BurgerFi brand, restaurant-level operating expenses, as a percentage of sales increased 170 basis points for the six months ended July 3, 2023 from 90.8%, as compared to 89.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to lower food costs partially offset by lower leverage on sales.

Food, Beverage and Paper Costs

Food, beverage, and paper costs for the six months ended July 3, 2023 decreased approximately $3.0 million, or 12%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, food, beverage and paper costs were 26.6% for the six months ended July 3, 2023 as compared to 30.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower food costs for the Anthony’s brand due primarily to lower chicken wing prices compared to the prior six months, which contributed approximately $2.2 million, or 74% of the decrease.
Labor and Related Expenses

Labor and related expenses for the six months ended July 3, 2023 increased by approximately $1.0 million, or 4.0%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, labor and related expenses were 30.8% for the six months ended July 3, 2023, as compared to 29.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This 140 basis points increase is primarily due to per hour labor rates, higher training costs, and lower efficiencies due to turnover at both brands, in addition to more BurgerFi corporate stores operating in the current year when compared to the prior year.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses for the six months ended July 3, 2023 increased by approximately $0.6 million, or 4.1%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, other operating expenses were 18.1% for the six months ended July 3, 2023 as compared to 17.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This 80 basis points increase in the current year primarily relates to increased repairs and maintenance, technology, and other restaurant expenses compared to the prior year, including inflationary increases.


Occupancy and Related Expenses

Occupancy and related expenses for the six months ended July 3, 2023 increased by approximately $0.04 million, or 0.5%. As a percentage of corporate-owned restaurant sales, occupancy and related expenses were 9.2% for the six months ended July 3, 2023, as compared to 9.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expense was $12.4 million for the six months ended July 3, 2023 and decreased by approximately $1.0 million, or 7%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was due to lower lower merger integration activities, wages, and professional fees incurred during the six months ended July 3, 2023, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended July 3, 2023, we reduced headcount in our restaurant support center driven by efficiencies gained by merger and integration activities.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense was $6.5 million for the six months ended July 3, 2023, as compared to $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily related to lower asset values due to fully depreciated assets and as a result of impairments recorded during the prior year.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense was $5.2 million for the six months ended July 3, 2023, as compared to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to lower amortization of restricted stock unit grants during the six months ended July 3, 2023 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2022.

Brand Development, Co-op and Advertising Expense

Brand development, co-op, and advertising expense was $2.0 million for the six months ended July 3, 2023, as compared to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase primarily relates to the timing of advertising activities in the early part of 2023 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Restructuring costs and other charges, net

Restructuring costs and other charges, net for the six months ended July 3, 2023 of $2.2 million, primarily related to expenses in connection with the Credit Agreement requirements to raise additional capital or debt of $1.1 million and severance of $1.1 million for departure of our former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during the current year. Restructuring costs and other charges, net for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $1.0 million, primarily related to store pre-opening costs and store closure costs. See Note 10, “Debt,” for further discussion of our credit facilities and indebtedness.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was approximately $4.3 million for the six months ended ended July 3, 2023, as compared to $4.3 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Interest expense primarily resulted from interest associated with our senior credit facility, interest accretion on the related party note, and the accretion in value of our outstanding preferred stock.

Loss on Change in Value of Warrant Liability

The Company recorded a non-cash loss of approximately $0.4 million during the six months ended July 3, 2023, as compared to a non-cash gain of approximately $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 related to a change in the fair value of the warrant liability as a result of an increase in the market price of our outstanding warrants.

Net Loss

Net loss for the six months ended was $15.2 million, as compared with a net loss of $73.9 million, for the six months ended July 3, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The change was primarily due to goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges in the prior year, lower food, beverage, and paper costs, reduced share-based compensation expense and lower depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by higher restructuring costs and other charges, net and loss on change in value of warrant liability as compared to the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $4.6 million and $4.9 million for the six months ended July 3, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended July 3, 2023 is primarily the result of lower systemwide revenues, higher restaurant level operating expenses as a percentage of sales and higher general and administrative expenses partially offset by lower food, beverage and paper costs as a percentage of sales. Please see below forreconciliation of non-U.S. GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net (loss) income on a consolidated basis and by segment.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

As appropriate, we supplement our reported U.S. GAAP financial information with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“GAAP”Adjusted EBITDA) requires. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before goodwill impairment, lease termination recovery, share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense (which includes accretion on the value of preferred stock and interest accretion on related party note), restructuring costs, merger, acquisition and integration costs, legal settlements, store closure costs, loss (gain) on change in value of warrant liability, income tax expense (benefit) and (gain) loss on sale of assets.

We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance, both internally and as compared with our peers, because this measure excludes certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results, as well as items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. We believe that this adjusted measure provides a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying business.

We believe that this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure provides meaningful information and helps investors understand our financial results and assess our prospects for future performance. Because non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-U.S. GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These financial measures should not be considered in
34

isolation from, as substitutes for, or alternative measures of, reported net income or diluted earnings per share, and should be viewed in conjunction with the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and the provided reconciliations thereto. We believe this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, when viewed together with our U.S. GAAP results and the related reconciliations, provides a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and availability on our line of credit. As of July 3, 2023, we had liquidity of $14.7 million, comprised of a cash balance of $10.7 million and $4.0 million of undrawn availability on our line of credit.

Our primary requirements for liquidity are to fund our working capital needs, operating and finance lease obligations, capital expenditures, and general corporate needs. Our requirements for working capital are generally not significant because our guests pay for their food and beverage purchases in cash or on debit or credit cards at the time of the sale, and we are able to sell many of our inventory items before payment is due to the supplier of such items. Our ongoing capital expenditures are principally related to light remodels and equipment replacement, as well as investments in our digital and corporate infrastructure. We estimate our capital expenditures will be approximately $2.0 million for the year ending January 1, 2024.

As discussed in Note 8 “Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements included within this report, in the case of Second 82nd SM, LLC v. BF NY 82, LLC et al., the Court entered an order granting the Landlord’s Motion for Summary Judgment and ordered a damages hearing on the motion. As a result, unless the parties otherwise agree to a settlement prior to the damages hearing, the Company expects a judgment to be entered against it of at least approximately $1.2 million. The parties, however, continue to discuss possible settlement prior to the damages hearing, including re-opening the BurgerFi brand restaurant at this location, as well as the payment, including timing, of past due rent amounts to the Landlord. In addition, the Company is considering other alternatives, including the need to refinance or restructure its debt, sell assets, or seek to raise additional capital, including debt or equity. If the Company is unable to implement one or more of these options or is otherwise unsuccessful in negotiating a settlement, which the Company believes is unlikely, and the court entered a final judgment against the Company, management believes it is possible that the Company will not be in compliance with the certain of the financial covenants in its Credit Agreement, which would constitute a breach of the Credit Agreement and an event of default if not cured in accordance with its terms. See Note 8 “Commitments and Contingenciesto make estimatesthe consolidated financial statements included within this report, as well as Risk Factors included in our 2022 Form 10-K for a discussion of the potential material consequences to such an event.

We have implemented, and assumptions that affectmay continue to further implement price increases to mitigate the reported amountsinflationary effects of food and labor costs, however, we cannot predict the long-term impact of these negative economic conditions on our restaurant profitability.

We currently believe we are able to pay our obligations as they become due for at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future, with our cash flow generated from operations and our cash on hand balance and availability under our line of credit.

The following table presents the summary cash flow information for the periods indicated:

Six Months Ended

Cash Flows (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities

During the six months ended ended July 3, 2023, cash flows used in operating activities were approximately $2.6 million. The cash flows used in operating activities resulted from a net loss of $15.2 million, which was primarily related to depreciation and amortization expense of $6.5 million, share-based compensation expense of $5.2 million and non-cash interest expense of $2.4 million. Additionally, changes in operating assets and liabilities disclosureresulted in a net liability decrease of contingent assetsapproximately $1.8 million, which was mainly due to a net decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities,
37

primarily as a result of legal settlements and professional services related to obtaining financing under the Credit Agreement.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

During the six months ended July 3, 2023, cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $1.0 million, which were primarily related to purchases of property and equipment for minor remodels and equipment replacements.


Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities

During the six months ended ended July 3, 2023, cash flows provided by financing activities were approximately $2.4 million, which were primarily related to principal payments on borrowings of approximately $5.7 million, which included repayment of $7.0 million on our line of credit and $1.6 million repayment on our term loan, offset by proceeds from borrowings of $5.1 million on our related party note and proceeds of $3.4 million from the private placement of 2,868,853 shares of our common stock.

Credit Agreement

The Company is party to a credit agreement with a syndicate of commercial banks (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), which provides the Company with lender financing structured as a $53.7 million term loan and a $4.0 million line of credit as of July 3, 2023, with a maturity date of September 30, 2025.

On February 1, 2023, the Credit Agreement was amended through the Fourteenth Amendment and subsequently on February 24, 2023 further amended through the Fifteenth Amendment resulting in the Company and its subsidiaries entering into a Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with CP7 Warming Bag L.P., an affiliate of L. Catterton Fund L.P., as lender (the “Junior Lender”), pursuant to which the Junior Lender continued that certain delayed draw term loan (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”) of $10.0 million, under the Credit Agreement, which is junior subordinated secured indebtedness, and also provided $5.1 million of new junior subordinated secured indebtedness, to the Company (collectively (the “Junior Indebtedness”), for a total of $15.1 million in junior subordinated secured debt on terms reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement), including, without limitation, that (1) such indebtedness shall not mature until at least two (2) years after the maturity date of the credit facility of September 30, 2025; (2) no payments of cash interest shall be made on such indebtedness until after the repayment in full of the obligations under the Credit Agreement; and (3) no scheduled or voluntary payments of principal shall be made until after the repayment in full of the obligations under the Credit Agreement.

On July 7, 2023 the Credit Agreement was amended through the Sixteenth Amendment, which amended the definition of EBITDA for the purposes of expanding the scope of non-recurring items that may be included in our determination of Adjusted EBTIDA, as well as modifications to certain covenants for leverage and fixed charge ratios and requirements and timeline for when a management consultant must be engaged.

We had recorded $14.4 million, net of unamortized discount of $0.7 million under the Junior Indebtedness as of July 3, 2023 included in related party note payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Information regarding our Credit Agreement can be found under Note 10, “Debt,” to the consolidated financial statements included within this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and incomeUse of Estimates

For information regarding our Critical Accounting Policies and expenses duringEstimates, see the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company has identified“Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section of “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the followingU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. During the six months ended July 3, 2023, there were no material changes in our critical accounting policy. 

Common stock subject to possible redemption

We account for common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holderestimates or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.

Recent accounting standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Item 6.    Exhibits

The Exhibit Index below contains a purchase pricelist of approximately $0.01 per share, in connectionexhibits filed or furnished with our organization. The foregoing issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”).

On March 16, 2018, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 units. On March 20, 2018, we consummated the sale of an additional 1,500,000 units subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The units sold in the Initial Public Offering, including pursuant to the over-allotment option, were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $115,000,000. EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. acted as sole book-running manager of the Initial Public Offering, Chardan Capital Markets, LLC acted as lead manager of the Initial Public Offering and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. acted as co-manager of the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-223106). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on March 13, 2018.

Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 400,000 units (“Private Units”) to our initial stockholders at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $4,000,000. Simultaneous with the consummation of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, we consummated the private placement of an additional 45,000 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $450,000. These issuances were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

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

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and private placement of Private Units, $116,150,000 was placed in a trust account.

We paid a total of $2,300,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $431,946 for other costs and expenses related to our formation and the Initial Public Offering.

For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
