RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company had recognized a liability upon closing of their initial public offering in December 2020 for a portion of the underwriter’s commissions which was contingently payable upon closing of a future business combination, with the offsetting entry resulting in an initial discount to the securities sold in the initial public offering. The underwriter waived all claims to this deferred commission in June 2022. The Company previously recognized the waiver as an extinguishment, with a resulting non-operating gain recognized in its statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2022. Upon subsequent review and analysis, management concluded that the Company should have recognized the extinguishment of the contingent liability as a reversal in the same relative allocation applied at the initial public offering. Therefore, the Company’s management and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) concluded that the Company’s previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”) should no longer be relied upon and that it is appropriate to restate the Annual Report. As such, the Company will restate its financial statements in this Form 10-K/A for the Company’s unaudited financial statements for three and six months ended June 30, 2022, nine months ended September 30, 2022, and the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Annual Report on the Company’s Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 21, 2023 (the “Original Filing”). Impact of the Restatement The impact of the restatement on the consolidated statements of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit and statements of cash flows for the affected period is presented below. The restatement had no impact on net cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.
