Organization, Description of Business, and Going Concern | 1. Organization, Description of Business, and Going Concern Ocean Biomedical, Inc. (f/k/a Aesther Healthcare Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was a blank check company formed in June 2021, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. As described below, the Company closed a business combination with Ocean Biomedical Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Ocean Biomedical, Inc.) (“Legacy Ocean”) (the “Business Combination”). Following the Business Combination, the Company is a biopharmaceutical company that is focused on discovering and developing therapeutic products in oncology, fibrosis, and infectious diseases. Business Combination Agreement On February 14, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced Business Combination, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 31, 2022, as amended on December 5, 2022 by Amendment No. 1, by and among the registrant, AHAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Aesther Healthcare Sponsor, LLC, in its capacity as purchaser representative (the “Sponsor”), Legacy Ocean, and Dr. Chirinjeev Kathuria, in his capacity as seller representative (the “Business Combination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Ocean, with Legacy Ocean continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company changed its name from “Aesther Healthcare Acquisition Corp.” to “Ocean Biomedical, Inc.” The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, AHAC, who is the legal acquirer, is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and Legacy Ocean is treated as the accounting acquirer. The Business Combination is accounted for as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which the Company has issued stock for the net assets of AHAC. The net assets of AHAC are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are Legacy Ocean. Reported shares and earnings per share available to common stockholders, prior to the Business Combination, have been retroactively restated based on the exchange ratio established in the Merger Agreement. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events for terms and conditions of the Business Combination. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, including, but not limited to, risks related to the successful development and commercialization of product candidates, fluctuations in operating results and financial risks, the ability to successfully raise additional funds when needed, protection of proprietary rights and patent risks, patent litigation, compliance with government regulations, dependence on key personnel and prospective collaborative partners, and competition from competing products in the marketplace. Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had no cash inflows from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $ 34 10.6 The Company will need to raise additional funds in order to advance its research and development programs, operate its business, and meet its future obligations as they come due. Based on the Company’s current operational plans and assumptions, the Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Backstop Agreement and future debt and equity financings, including possibly under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, as well as further deferrals of certain of its accrued expenses and contingency payments due upon the closing of future financings to fund operations. Under the terms of the Backstop Agreement, the Company will receive proceeds from any sales by the backstop providers of shares of its common stock sold by them quarterly, after the end of each quarter. The Company expects to receive the first reports from the backstop providers in April, reporting the amount of shares they sold in the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and, if they sold any shares, corresponding payments of the proceeds of those repurchases. The Backstop Agreement prohibits the backstop providers from selling the Company’s shares of common stock that are subject to the restrictions set forth in the Backstop Agreement unless the Company’s common stock is trading above $ 10.34 10.34 10.34 There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, and the Company may not be able to enter into collaborations or other arrangements. If the Company is unable to obtain funding, the Company could be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate its research and development programs, which could adversely affect its business prospects and its ability to continue operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Impacts of COVID-19 and Market Conditions on Our Business We have been actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation and its impact globally. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company was not significantly impacted by COVID-19. Further, disruption of global financial markets and a recession or market correction, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the related sanctions imposed against Russia, and other global macroeconomic factors such as inflation, could reduce the Company’s ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect the Company’s liquidity and could materially affect the Company’s business and the value of its common stock. | |

Organization, Description of Business, and Going Concern | Note 1. Organization, Description of Business, and Going Concern Ocean Biomedical, Inc. (f/k/a Aesther Healthcare Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was a blank check company formed in June 2021, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. As described below, the Company closed a business combination with Ocean Biomedical Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Ocean Biomedical, Inc.) (“Legacy Ocean”) (the “Business Combination”).

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Ocean, with Legacy Ocean continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company changed its name from “Aesther Healthcare Acquisition Corp.” to “Ocean Biomedical, Inc.” Accounting for the Business Combination The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, AHAC, who is the legal acquirer, is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and Legacy Ocean is treated as the accounting acquirer. (References to “AHAC” refer to Aesther Healthcare Acquisition Corp. prior to the Closing of the Business Combination.) Legacy Ocean has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances: ● Legacy Ocean’s existing stockholders have the largest portion of voting interest in the Company; ● Legacy Ocean’s senior management comprises the senior management of the Company; ● the members of the Board of Directors of the Company nominated by Legacy Ocean represent the majority of the Board of Directors of the Company; ● Legacy Ocean’s operations comprise the ongoing operations of the Company; and ● “Ocean Biomedical, Inc.” is the name being used by the Company. The Business Combination is accounted for as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which the Company has issued stock for the net assets of AHAC. The net assets of AHAC are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are Legacy Ocean. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, including, but not limited to, risks related to the successful development and commercialization of product candidates, fluctuations in operating results and financial risks, the ability to successfully raise additional funds when needed, protection of proprietary rights and patent risks, patent litigation, compliance with government regulations, dependence on key personnel and prospective collaborative partners, and competition from competing products in the marketplace. Going Concern Considerations The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had no cash inflows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $ 306 thousand and a working capital deficiency of $ 23.1 million. The Company’s current operating plan indicates it will incur losses from operations and generate negative cash flows from operating activities, given anticipated expenditures related to research and development activities and its lack of revenue generating ability at this point in the Company’s lifecycle. These events and conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The Company will need to raise additional funds in order to advance its research and development programs, operate its business, and meet its future obligations as they come due. Based on the Company’s current operational plans and assumptions, which may which may not be realized, the Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Backstop Agreement and future debt and equity financings, including possibly under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement as well as further deferrals of certain of its accrued expenses and contingency payments due upon the closing of future financings to fund operations. See Note 3- Business Combination and Backstop Agreement for a description of the Backstop Agreement and the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, and the Company may not be able to enter into collaborations or other arrangements. If the Company is unable to obtain funding, the Company could be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate its research and development programs, which could adversely affect its business prospects and its ability to continue operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Impacts of COVID-19 and Market Conditions on Our Business We have been actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation and its impact globally.

Mar. 31, 2023 | Dec. 31, 2022 | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and stated in U.S. dollars. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification and Accounting Standards Updates of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. The subsidiaries were formed to organize the Company’s therapeutic programs in order to optimize multiple commercialization options and to maximize each program’s value. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, as applicable, including those related to accrued expenses, the fair values of the Company’s common stock, and the valuation of deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates using Company forecasts and future plans, current economic conditions, and information from third-party professionals that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and recorded amounts of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. The Company’s results can also be affected by economic, political, legislative, regulatory or legal actions. Economic conditions, such as recessionary trends, inflation, interest, changes in regulatory laws and monetary exchange rates, and government fiscal policies, can have a significant effect on operations. The Company could also be affected by civil, criminal, regulatory or administrative actions, claims, or proceedings. Cash, Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value and may include money market funds, U.S. Treasury and U.S. government-sponsored agency securities, corporate debt, commercial paper, and certificates of deposit. The Company had minimal cash or cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 and 2022. Concentrations of Credit Risk and Off-balance Sheet Risk The Company has held minimal cash and cash equivalents since its inception and certain of its expenses have been paid for by the proceeds from the issuance of common stock and debt, and by the Company’s Founder and Executive Chairman. The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s future results of operations involve several other risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations. Such factors include, but are not limited to, uncertainty of results of clinical trials and reaching milestones, uncertainty of regulatory approval of the Company’s product candidates, uncertainty of market acceptance of the Company’s product candidates, competition from other products, securing and protecting intellectual property, strategic relationships and dependence on key employees and research partners. The Company’s product candidates require Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and other non-U.S. regulatory agencies approval prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that any product candidates will receive the necessary approvals. If the Company was denied approval, if approval was delayed, if approval was unable to be maintained, it could have a materially adverse impact on the Company. Revenue The Company has not generated any revenue from any sources since its inception, including from product sales. The Company does not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the foreseeable future. If the Company’s development efforts for its product candidates are successful and result in regulatory approval, or license agreements with third parties, the Company may generate revenue in the future from product sales. However, there can be no assurance as to when revenue will be generated, if at all. Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for research activities, including the development of product candidates. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, research and development expenses consist of expenses recognized for stock-based compensation and incurred for services agreements. Payments associated with licensing agreements to acquire exclusive licenses to develop, use, manufacture and commercialize products that have not reached technological feasibility and do not have alternate commercial use are expensed as incurred. Deferred Offering Costs Deferred offering costs, consisting of direct accounting fees, legal fees, regulatory fees, transfer agent fees, and printing costs directly related to the Business Combination are capitalized. The deferred offering costs will be reclassified to additional paid in capital upon completion of Business Combination. The amount is recorded as current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. In October 2021, the Company expensed $ 3.4 19 1.8 Income Taxes and Tax Credits Income taxes are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes Net Loss Per Share Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributed to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and, if dilutive, the weighted-average number of potential shares of common stock. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company has had no unrealized gains or losses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. Emerging Growth Company Status The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company, or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. Recent Accounting Standards The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. | |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and stated in U.S. dollars. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification and Accounting Standards Updates of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, and Form 8-K, as amended, originally filed with the SEC on February 15, 2023. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. The subsidiaries were formed to organize the Company’s therapeutic programs in order to optimize multiple commercialization options and to maximize each program’s value. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, as applicable, including those related to accrued expenses, the fair values of the Company’s common stock, and the valuation of deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates using Company forecasts and future plans, current economic conditions, and information from third-party professionals that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and recorded amounts of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. The Company’s results can also be affected by economic, political, legislative, regulatory or legal actions. Economic conditions, such as recessionary trends, inflation, interest, changes in regulatory laws and monetary exchange rates, and government fiscal policies, can have a significant effect on operations. The Company could also be affected by civil, criminal, regulatory or administrative actions, claims, or proceedings. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value and may include money market funds, U.S. Treasury and U.S. government-sponsored agency securities, corporate debt, commercial paper, and certificates of deposit. The Company had minimal cash or cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023. Concentrations of Credit Risk, Off-balance Sheet Risk and Other Risks The Company has held minimal cash and cash equivalents since its inception and certain of its expenses have been paid for by the proceeds from the issuance of common stock and debt, and by the Company’s Founder and Executive Chairman. The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s future results of operations involve several other risks and uncertainties. Factors that affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations could include, but are not limited to, uncertainty of results of clinical trials and reaching milestones, uncertainty of regulatory approval of the Company’s product candidates, uncertainty of market acceptance of the Company’s product candidates, competition from other products, securing and protecting intellectual property, strategic relationships and dependence on key employees and research partners. The Company’s product candidates require Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and other non-U.S. regulatory agencies approval prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that any product candidates will receive the necessary approvals. If the Company was denied approval, if approval was delayed, or if approval was unable to be maintained, it could have a materially adverse impact on the Company. Revenue The Company has not generated any revenue from any sources since its inception, including from product sales. The Company does not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the foreseeable future. If the Company’s development efforts for its product candidates are successful and result in regulatory approval, or license agreements with third parties, the Company may generate revenue in the future from product sales. However, there can be no assurance as to when revenue will be generated, if at all. Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for research activities, including the development of product candidates. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, research and development expenses consist of expenses recognized for stock-based compensation and incurred for initial license fees, annual maintenance license fees, and services agreements. Payments associated with licensing agreements to acquire exclusive licenses to develop, use, manufacture and commercialize products that have not reached technological feasibility and do not have alternate commercial use are expensed as incurred. Deferred Offering and Transaction Costs Deferred offering costs, consisting of direct accounting fees, legal fees, regulatory fees, transfer agent fees, and printing costs directly related to the Business Combination are capitalized. The deferred offering costs in the amount of $ 2.0 million were reclassified to additional paid in capital upon the completion of the Business Combination. Approximately $ 7.4 2.4 3.1 1.9 Income Taxes and Tax Credits Income taxes are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes Net Loss Per Share Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributed to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, less shares subject to repurchase, and, if dilutive, the weighted-average number of potential shares of common stock. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company has had no comprehensive income or loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 permits an “emerging growth company” to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to not “opt out” of this provision and, as a result, the Company will adopt new or revised accounting standards at the time private companies adopt the new or revised accounting standard and will do so until such time that the Company either (i) irrevocably elects to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualify as an emerging growth company. The Company is also a “smaller reporting company” meaning that the market value of its stock held by non- affiliates plus the proposed aggregate amount of gross proceeds to the Company as a result of this offering is expected to be less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. The Company may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of the stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If the Company is a smaller reporting company at the time that it ceases to be an emerging growth company, the Company may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, the Company may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation. Recent Accounting Standards The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurements Certain assets of the Company are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable: ● Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ● Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. ● Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. The Company’s Backstop Forward Purchase Agreement and Earnout Shares are carried at fair value, determined according to Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 4 - Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities). The carrying values of accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term loans approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these liabilities. |

Business Combination and Backstop Agreement | Note 3. Business Combination and Backstop Agreement As discussed in Note 1, on February 14, 2023, the Company consummated the previously announced Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Ocean, with Legacy Ocean continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company changed its name from “Aesther Healthcare Acquisition Corp.” to “Ocean Biomedical, Inc.” On January 11, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting (defined below), there were 13,225,000 0.0001 10,600,000 2,625,000 5,250,000 5,411,000 5,570,965 10.56 58,847,564 52,070,404 On February 14, 2023, in connection with the Closing: ● AHAC issued to the holders of Legacy Ocean’s securities as of immediately prior to the Closing approximately 23,355,432 shares of AHAC’s Class A common stock (with a per-share value of $ 10.00 ) with an aggregate value equal to $ 233,554,320 , as adjusted as required by the Business Combination Agreement to take into account net working capital, closing net debt and Legacy Ocean transaction expenses, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Legacy Ocean; ● the Sponsor’s 2,625,000 shares of AHAC’s Class B common stock converted on a one-for-one basis into 2,625,000 shares of AHAC’s Class A common stock pursuant to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended Certificate”); ● AHAC issued to the Sponsor 1,365,000 additional shares of AHAC’s Class A common stock in connection with the Sponsor obtaining two (2) three-month extensions beyond the September 16, 2022 deadline to complete an initial business combination; ● the Backstop Parties purchased 3,535,466 ● the Backstop Parties purchased 1,200,000 12,675,912 ● 5,570,965 ● the Company issued to Second Street Capital, LLC (“Second Street Capital”), Legacy Ocean’s lender, three (3) warrants (the “Converted Ocean Warrants”) for the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the economic value of the Legacy Ocean warrants previously issued to Second Street in exchange for the termination of the Legacy Ocean warrants. The Converted Ocean Warrants are exercisable for a total of 511,712 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 8.06 per share and 102,342 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 7.47 per share; ● the Company issued to Polar (as defined below) 1,350,000 ● all shares of AHAC’s Class A common stock were reclassified as common stock pursuant to the Company’s Amended Certificate. The following table reconciles the elements of the Business Combination to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity/(deficit) and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (in thousands): Schedule of Elements of Business Combination Cash from AHAC trust, net of redemptions $ 52,070 Issuance costs from business combination (2,049 ) Net impact on total stockholders’ equity 50,021 Non-cash offering costs 2,049 Net impact on cash provided by financing activity $ 52,070 Earnout Shares In addition, pursuant to Business Combination Agreement, Legacy Ocean’s stockholders prior to the Closing (the “Legacy Ocean Stockholders”) shall be entitled to receive from the Company, in the aggregate, up to an additional 19,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Earnout Shares”) as follows: (a) in the event that the volume-weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock exceeds $15.00 per share for twenty (20) out of any thirty (30) consecutive trading days beginning on the Closing Date until the 36-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Legacy Ocean Stockholders shall be entitled to receive an additional 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (b) in the event that the VWAP of the Company’s common stock exceeds $17.50 per share for twenty (20) out of any thirty (30) consecutive trading days beginning on the Closing Date until the 36-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Legacy Ocean Stockholders shall be entitled to receive an additional 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and (c) in the event that the VWAP of the Company’s common stock exceeds $20.00 per share for twenty (20) out of any thirty (30) consecutive trading days beginning on the Closing Date until the 36-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Legacy Ocean Stockholders shall be entitled to receive an additional 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, for each issuance of Earnout Shares, the Company will also issue to Sponsor an additional 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Both the number of Earnout Shares and the price per share is subject to adjustment to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the common stock (i.e., dilutive activities). The accounting for the Earnout Shares was first evaluated under the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 718 (“ASC 718”) to determine if the arrangement represents a share-based payment arrangement. Because the Earnout Shares are issued to all the Legacy Ocean Stockholders and the Sponsor and there are no service conditions nor any requirement of the participants to provide goods or services, the Company determined that the Earnout Shares are not within the scope of ASC 718. In reaching this conclusion, the Company focused on the fact that the Earnout Shares are not provided to any holder of options or unvested stock but rather the arrangement is provided only to vested equity holders. Next, the Company determined that the Earnout Shares represent a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument to be evaluated under ASC Section 480 (“ASC 480”) and ASC Section 815-40 (“ASC 815-40”). Based upon the analysis, the Company concluded that the Earnout Shares should not be classified as a liability under ASC 480. Under ASC 815-40, an entity must first evaluate whether an equity-linked instrument is considered indexed to the reporting entity’s stock. This analysis, which is performed under ASC 815-40-15, is a two-step test that includes evaluation of both exercise contingencies and settlement provisions. The Earnout Share arrangement contains contingencies – the daily volume weighted average stock price on the basis of a specific price per share. The contingency is based on an observable market or an observable index other than one based on the Company’s common stock. With respect to settlement provisions, the number of Earnout Shares is adjusted only for dilutive activities, which are an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares under ASC 815-40-15-7E(c). It is important to note that, in absence of dilutive activities, there will be either zero or 19 million shares issuable under the Earnout Share arrangement; therefore, the triggering events for issuance of shares is only an exercise contingency to be evaluated under step 1 of ASC 815-40-15. The Company next considered the equity classification conditions in ASC 815-40-25 and concluded that all of them were met. Therefore, the Earnout Share arrangement is appropriately classified in equity. As the Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization the Earnout Share arrangement as of the Closing Date is accounted for as an equity transaction (as a deemed dividend) as of the Closing Date of the Business Combination in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Backstop Agreement On August 31, 2022, in connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, AHAC and Legacy Ocean entered into an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction with Vellar Opportunity Fund SPV LLC– Series 3 (“Vellar”) (as amended, the “Backstop Agreement” or “Backstop Forward Purchase Agreement”). The Backstop Agreement is intended to provide the Company with additional issued and outstanding shares and cash (in the short-term) following the closing of the Business Combination because it evidences Vellar’s intent to purchase shares from AHAC stockholders that elected to redeem their shares, and thus eliminates the need for AHAC to redeem and pay redeeming AHAC stockholders for their shares. This is intended to help AHAC obtain sufficient cash at the Closing of the Business Combination Agreement to meet the minimum cash condition therein, reduce redemption related risks and generally facilitate the consummation of the Business Combination. This agreement is considered a forward purchase transaction. Pursuant to the Backstop Agreement, Vellar agreed to support the transactions relating to the Business Combination by purchasing up to 4,000,000 shares of AHAC Class A common stock in the open market (which, approximately, would be valued at $ 40,000,000 ) during the period in which AHAC stockholders could elect to redeem their shares (i.e., the period commencing upon the filing of the definitive proxy statement and ending two (2) business days prior to the Special Meeting of Stockholders to approve the Business Combination (the “Special Meeting”)) pursuant to AHAC’s redemption offer and subsequently revoke their elections to redeem their shares. None of the shares of AHAC Class A common stock purchased by Vellar could be voted in the Business Combination. The Company has agreed to purchase those shares from Vellar on a forward basis at maturity (as further described below), but the Company will not be required to purchase any shares of its common stock from Vellar at a price higher than the redemption price offered to redeeming public stockholders before, during or after the redemption period. The purchase price payable by the Company will include a prepayment in the amount of the redemption price per share payable from the proceeds released from the trust account related to those shares. The prepayment date is the earlier of: (i) one business day after the Closing of the Business Combination or (ii) the date any assets from the trust account are disbursed following the Closing of the Business Combination. Vellar may but is not obligated to sell some or all of the shares subject to the forward transaction following the expiration of the redemption period (i.e., two (2) business days prior to the Special Meeting), after which those shares will no longer be subject to the forward transaction, and in such event Vellar will repay the Company a portion of the prepayment amount relating to those shares from the sale proceeds equal to the number of shares sold by Vellar multiplied by the forward price (i.e., the lower of the redemption price, the then current forward price and the VWAP price for the last 10 trading days of the prior calendar month, but not lower than $ 5.00 The original maturity date of the Backstop Agreement was the earlier to occur of (a) 3 years after the closing of the Business Combination Agreement or (b) the date specified by Vellar in a written notice delivered at Vellar’s discretion if the VWAP of the shares during 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days was less than $3 per share. On the maturity date, Vellar may require that the Company repurchase all of the shares then being held by Vellar at a price equal to the redemption price (as determined in accordance with AHAC’s certificate of incorporation prior to the effectiveness of the Amended Certificate (the “AHAC Charter”)). Vellar will also be entitled to an additional $ 2.50 per share purchased with such amount being payable in shares of the Company common stock. The maturity date is significant because following the maturity date the Company is under no obligation to repurchase shares then being held by Vellar. Shares sold by Vellar to third parties prior to the maturity date shall cease to be subject to the forward transaction. Any such sale will trigger an obligation by Vellar to pay the Company an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of shares sold by Vellar and (b) the forward price, which is defined in the Backstop Agreement as the lower of the redemption price (as determined in accordance with the AHAC Charter) and the VWAP price of the last ten trading days (but not lower than $ 5.00 ). The Company is also be obligated to pay a structuring fee in the amount of $ 5,000 on the first trading day of each calendar quarter to Vellar following the Business Combination until the maturity date. Vellar has agreed that it does not possess and/or has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to the shares of AHAC Class A common stock that it acquired in accordance with the Backstop Agreement. On February 10, 2023 AHAC and Legacy Ocean entered into an amended and restated OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction with Vellar. Pursuant to the amended Backstop Agreement, Vellar agreed to support the Business Combination by purchasing up to 6,000,000 shares of the Class A common stock in the open market for up to $ 60,000,000 , including from other stockholders that elected to redeem and subsequently revoked their prior elections to redeem their shares, following the expiration of the Company’s redemption offer. The Company has agreed to purchase those shares from Vellar on a forward basis. The purchase price payable by the Company includes a prepayment in the amount of the redemption price per share. As amended, the Backstop Agreement matures on the earlier to occur of (a) three years after the closing of the Business Combination (February 14, 2026) or (b) the date specified by Vellar in a written notice delivered at Vellar’s discretion if the VWAP of the shares during 30 out of 45 consecutive trading days is less than $4 per share . Pursuant to the Backstop Agreement, the Company provided the Backstop Parties with an additional $12,675,912, paid from the trust account holding the net proceeds from the sale of units in the AHAC’s IPO to compensate them for their purchase of 1,200,000 additional shares of Class A common stock in the open market (the “Share Consideration Shares”). Under the Backstop Agreement, the Share Consideration Shares are not subject to the terms applicable to the Recycled Shares, including with regard to repayment and repurchase as described below. The Company has the option to repurchase the Share Consideration Shares from the Backstop Parties at an aggregate price of $ 3,000,000 If an event occurs causing the VWAP per share to be at or above $ 20.00 per share for any 30 trading days during a 45 consecutive trading day-period and the aggregate trading volume in respect of such shares during the same 30-day period is at least the product of (a) three and (b) the difference of (x) the Number of Shares and (y) the Terminated Shares (each as defined in the Backstop Agreement), then the Company can notify Vellar of such event and cause the Backstop Agreement to mature. The Backstop Agreement calls for the adjustment of the Reset Price (as defined in the Backstop Agreement) on the first scheduled trading day of each month commencing on the first calendar month following the closing of the Business Combination to be the lowest of (a) the then-current Reset Price, (b) the initial price per shares paid by Vellar for the shares and (c) the VWAP price per share of the last ten trading days of the prior calendar month, but not lower than $10.34. The Reset Price may be reduced further in connection with a dilutive offering undertaken by the Company. The Reset Price is relevant to the provision entitling the Company to terminate the Backstop Agreement early (in whole or in part) and require Vellar to pay the Company an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of shares the Company elects to terminate from the forward transaction and (y) the Reset Price as of the termination date. At maturity, any remaining shares subject to the Backstop Agreement will be finally purchased by the Company for an additional $ 2.50 per share. During the term of the Backstop Agreement, Vellar may elect to sell some or all of the shares subject to the Backstop Agreement after which those shares will no longer be subject to the Backstop Agreement, and in such event Vellar will repay the Company with a portion of the sale proceeds. On February 12, 2023, AHAC, Legacy Ocean, and Vellar again amended and restated the original Backstop Agreement to increase from up to 6,000,000 shares to up to 8,000,000 shares of AHAC’s common stock to be purchased in the open market for up to $ 80,000,000 , including from other stockholders that elected to redeem and subsequently revoked their prior elections to redeem their shares, following the expiration of AHAC’s redemption offer. On February 13, 2023, AHAC, Vellar and Legacy Ocean entered into an assignment and novation agreement with Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP, Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP and Meteora Capital Partners, LP (collectively “Meteora”) (the “Meteora Agreement”), pursuant to which Vellar assigned its obligation as to 2,666,667 shares of common stock of the Company to be purchased under the Backstop Agreement to Meteora. In addition, on February 13, 2023, AHAC, Vellar and Legacy Ocean entered into an assignment and novation agreement with Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar” and, collectively with Vellar and Meteora, the “Backstop Parties”) (the “Polar Agreement”) pursuant to which Vellar assigned its obligations as to 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to be purchased under the Backstop Agreement to Polar. On February 14, 2023, AHAC, Legacy Ocean and Polar entered into a subscription agreement in which Polar agreed to purchase 1,350,000 newly-issued shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share purchase price of $ 10.56 and an aggregate purchase price of $ 14,260,404 (the “Polar Subscription”). The Polar Subscription was the method by which Polar exercised its right to purchase “Additional Shares” pursuant to the Backstop Agreement to which Polar acquired a portion of the rights from Vellar pursuant to the Polar Agreement.

In March 2021, Legacy Ocean authorized the issuance of common stock in Legacy Ocean to certain persons who were accredited investors (consisting of friends and family of Legacy Ocean’s employees) at an aggregate offering price of $ 1.0 million. On January 19, 2022, Legacy Ocean implemented an 8-for-11 reverse stock split of its common stock. All share and per share data shown in the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been retroactively revised to reflect the reverse stock split. On February 1, 2022, Legacy Ocean implemented a 6-for-7 reverse stock split of its common stock. All share and per share data shown in the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been retroactively revised to reflect the reverse stock split. On February 2, 2022, Legacy Ocean implemented a 28-for-29 reverse stock split of its common stock. All share and per share data shown in the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been retroactively revised to reflect the reverse stock split. As mentioned in Note 1, the Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, AHAC, who is the legal acquirer, is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and Legacy Ocean is treated as the accounting acquirer. Legacy Ocean has been determined to be the accounting acquirer. The effects of the Business Combination require a retroactive recapitalization of the Company. Common Stock Issued Following the Closing of the Business Combination For a discussion of shares of the Company’s common stock issued in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, see “Note 3 Business Combination and Backstop Agreement.” In connection with the Closing of the Company’s Business Combination on February 14, 2023, the Company, Legacy Ocean and Polar entered into a subscription agreement in which Polar agreed to purchase 1,350,000 newly-issued shares of our common stock at a per share purchase price of $ 10.56 and an aggregate purchase price of $ 14,260,404 . In connection with the Modification Agreement, dated March 22, 2023, with the NPIC Lender, on March 22, 2023, the Company issued to the NPIC Lender 50,000 7.16 358,000 At March 31, 2023 and 2022, the common stock of the Company issued and outstanding consisted of the following: Schedule of Common Stock Issued and Outstanding March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022 Common Stock Shares March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022 Stockholder Legacy Ocean equity holders 17,496,370 17,496,370 Retroactive application of recapitalization 5,859,062 5,859,062 Adjusted Legacy Ocean equity holders 23,355,432 23,355,432 Non-redeemed public stockholders 293,569 Backstop Forward Purchase Agreement 3,535,466 Backstop Forward Purchase Agreement-Subscription Agreement 1,350,000 Share Consideration Shares 1,200,000 Sponsor extension shares 1,365,000 Sponsor shares 2,625,000 Shares Modification 50,000 Total 33,774,467 23,355,432 The Backstop Forward Purchase Agreement shares, Share Consideration Shares, and the Sponsor Shares were included in the effects of the Business Combination in the condensed consolidated statements of equity/(deficit) for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Stock Options 2022 Stock Option and Incentive Plan The Company’s stockholders approved and adopted the 2022 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and Form of Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement for Non-Employee Directors (the “Incentive Plan”) at the Special Meeting. The Board approved and adopted the Incentive Plan prior to the Closing of the Business Combination. The Board’s Compensation Committee will administer the Incentive Plan. Persons eligible to receive awards under the Incentive Plan include officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, directors of the Company, and certain consultants and advisors to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the Incentive Plan equals 4,360,000 shares (the “Share Limit”). In addition, the Share Limit shall automatically increase on the first trading day in January of each calendar year during the term of the Incentive Plan, with the first such increase to occur in January 2024, by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) three percent (3%) of the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year or (ii) such number of shares of common stock as may be established by the Board. The Incentive Plan authorizes stock options, stock appreciation rights, and other forms of awards granted or denominated in the Company’s common stock or units of the Company’s common stock, as well as cash bonus awards. The Incentive Plan retains flexibility to offer competitive incentives and to tailor benefits to specific needs and circumstances. Any award may be structured to be paid or settled in cash. Any awards under the Incentive Plan (including awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights) may be fully-vested at grant or may be subject to time- and/or performance-based vesting requirements. The Incentive Plan does not limit the authority of the Board or any committee to grant awards or authorize any other compensation, with or without reference to the Company’s common stock, under any other plan or authority. The Board may amend or terminate the Incentive Plan at any time and in any manner. Stockholder approval for an amendment will be required only to the extent then required by applicable law or deemed necessary or advisable by the Board. Unless terminated earlier by the Board and subject to any extension that may be approved by stockholders, the authority to grant new awards under the Incentive Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of its establishment. 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company’s stockholders approved and adopted the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) at the Special Meeting. The Board approved and adopted the ESPP prior to the Closing of the Business Combination. The ESPP will be administered by the Board’s Compensation Committee, which may delegate such of its duties, powers and responsibilities as it may determine to one or more of its members, and, to the extent permitted by law, our officers, and may delegate to employees and other persons such ministerial tasks as it deems appropriate. Subject to adjustment, 2,180,000 shares of common stock are available for purchase pursuant to the exercise of options under the ESPP. Shares to be delivered upon exercise of options under the ESPP may be authorized but unissued stock, treasury stock, or stock acquired in an open-market transaction. Subject to certain requirements and exceptions, all individuals classified as employees on the payroll records of the Company or its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in anyone or more of the offerings under the ESPP. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock during specified offering periods, with such offering periods not to exceed 27 months. During each offering period, eligible employees will be granted an option to purchase shares of common stock on the last business day of the offering period. The purchase price of each share of common stock issued pursuant to the exercise of an option under the ESPP on an exercise date will be 85% (or such greater percentage as specified by the administrator of the ESPP) of the lesser of: (a) the fair market value of a share of common stock date the option is granted, which will be the first day of the offering period, and (b) the fair market value of a share of common stock on the exercise date, which will the last business day of the offering period. Our Board has discretion to amend the ESPP to any extent and in any manner it may deem advisable, provided that any amendment that would be treated as the adoption of a new plan for purposes of Section 423 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) will require stockholder approval. Our Board may suspend or terminate the ESPP at any time. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs related to all types of equity-based compensation awards granted to employees, nonemployees, and directors in accordance with GAAP. The Company estimates the fair value and the resulting amounts using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods but accelerated to the extent that grants vest sooner than on a straight-line basis. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur and requires management to make a number of other assumptions, the volatility of the underlying shares, the risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Expected volatility is based on the historical share volatility of a set of comparable publicly traded companies over a period of time equal to the expected term of the grant or option. Profit Interests in Poseidon On February 22, 2021, 3,080,000 Class B profit interests in Poseidon were granted. The estimated fair value of a Class B profit interest in Poseidon at February 22, 2021, the grant date of the profit interests, was $ 22.26 per interest and was determined using an option-pricing model under which interests are valued by creating a series of call options with exercise prices based on the liquidation preferences and conversion terms of each equity class, adjusted for a discount for the lack of marketability to account for a lack of access to an active public market. On April 20, 2022, an additional 25,500 fully vested Class B profit interests were granted to an executive. The estimated fair value of a Class B profit interest in Poseidon on the grant date was $ 7.03 per interest and was determined using an option-pricing model under which interests are valued by creating a series of call options with exercise prices based on the liquidation preferences and conversion terms of each equity class, adjusted for a discount for the lack of marketability to account for a lack of access to an active public market. As of March 31, 2023, the profit interests were fully vested. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the profits interests that were granted on February 22, 2021: Schedule of Assumptions Estimate Fair Value Risk-free interest rate 0.11 % Fair value of common stock of the Company $ 16.96 Expected dividend yield — Expected terms in years 2 Expected volatility 75 % The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the profits interests that were granted on April 20, 2022: Risk-free interest rate 2.10 % Fair value of common stock of the Company $ 11.00 Expected dividend yield — Expected terms in years 8 Expected volatility 75 % As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, there was $ 68.9 61.1 7.5 Stock Options to Non-Employee Directors Under the Non-employee Director Compensation Policy, upon initial election or appointment to the Company’s Board, each new non-employee director will be granted under the Incentive Plan a one-time grant of a non-statutory stock option to purchase 75,000 On February 15, 2023, a Director Initial Grant was made to each of the non-employee directors elected to the Board at the Special Meeting. The exercise price was $ 10.00 The estimated fair value of a non-statutory stock option to purchase common stock on the grant date was $ 3.73 per share and was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The stock-based compensation amount was included in the total amount recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the non-statutory stock options that were granted on February 15, 2023: Schedule of Assumptions Estimate Fair Value Risk-free interest rate 4.0 % Fair value of common stock of the Company $ 6.03 Expected dividend yield — Expected years to maturity 6.5 Expected volatility 75 % As of March 31, 2023, there was $ 62 thousand of recognized compensation costs and the total unrecognized compensation related to unvested stock option awards granted was $ 2.2 million which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.9 years. No stock options were exercised during the period. Special Forces F9 Warrants In connection with the Strategic Advisory Agreement, dated March 19, 2023, between the Company and Special Forces F9, LLC (“Special Forces”), the Company issued to Special Forces a warrant to purchase 150,000 11.50 3.89 The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the warrants that were granted on March 19, 2023: Risk-free interest rate 4.0 % Fair value of common stock of the Company $ 7.17 Expected dividend yield — Expected terms in years 5 Expected volatility 75 % As of March 31, 2023, there was $ 583,500 As of March 31, 2023, there was a total of $ 645,623 2.2 2.9 As of March 31, 2022, there were no stock-based compensation costs related to stock options and warrants. The stock-based compensation costs during this period related to the profit interests in Poseidon discussed above. The stock-based compensation pertaining to the non-employee directors non-statutory stock options, consultants’ warrants to purchase common stock, and Class B profit interests in Poseidon were expensed as a general and administrative expense and Class B profit interests in Poseidon were expensed as research and development expense. The following table summarizes the allocation of stock-based compensation for the stock options, warrants, and for the Class B profit interests in Poseidon for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively: Schedule of Stock Based Compensation For the three months ended (in thousands) 2023 2022 Research and development expense $ — $ 3,186 General and administrative expense 646 1,357 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 646 $ 4,543 Warrants Under SEC guidelines, the Company is required to record the issuance of warrants based on the “fair value” of the warrant. Under ASC 820-10-35-2, “Fair Value” has a very technical definition and is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability or equity in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” ASC 480 provides guidance for determining whether an instrument must be classified as a liability or equity. For a warrant that is fully vested with a fixed life term, the instrument is classified as equity. The Company recognizes the expense amount of the estimated fair value of the warrant and records in an APIC account on the date of grant. The Company estimates the fair value and the resulting amounts using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods but accelerated to the extent that grants vest sooner than on a straight-line basis. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur and requires management to make a number of other assumptions, the volatility of the underlying shares, the risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Expected volatility is based on the historical share volatility of a set of comparable publicly traded companies over a period of time equal to the expected term of the grant or option. The Company accounts for warrants issued based on their respective grant dates fair values. Prior to September 2022, the value of the Second Street Warrants was estimated considering, among other things, contemporaneous valuations for the Company’s common stock prepared by unrelated third-party valuation firms and prices set forth in the Company’s previous filings with the SEC for a proposed IPO of its common stock that was not pursued by the Company (“Legacy Ocean IPO filings”). The Company used the mid-range price per share based upon the Legacy Ocean IPO filings. Starting in September 2022, following the execution of the Business Combination Agreement with AHAC, the value of the Second Street Warrants was based on the closing price of AHAC’s Class A common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value, based upon these values, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is affected principally by the life of the warrant, the volatility of the underlying shares, the risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. Expected volatility is based on the historical share volatility of a set of comparable publicly traded companies over a period of time equal to the expected term of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the warrant for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the warrant. Expected dividend yield is zero based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company records the amount in Other expenses. Second Street Warrants In February 2022, the Company entered into the Second Street Loan, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $ 600,000 .

The Company issued a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with an exercise price of $ 10.34 per share, exercisable until March 27, 2028.

The IPO Warrants consist of (i) warrants to purchase up to 5,411,000 5,411,000 1.00 5,250,000 5,250,000 10.00 11.50 The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption, in whole and not In part, at a price of $ 0.01 ● at any time after the warrants become exercisable; ● upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; ● if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the shares of common stock equals or exceeds $ 18.00 ● if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such warrants. The right to exercise will be forfeited unless the IPO Warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of redemption. On and after the redemption date, a record holder of a Public Warrant will have no further rights except to receive the redemption price for such holder’s warrant upon surrender of such warrant. The redemption criteria for the IPO Warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide warrant holders a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide a sufficient differential between the then-prevailing share price and the warrant exercise price so that if the share price declines as a result of our redemption call, the redemption will not cause the share price to drop below the exercise price of the warrants. If the Company calls the IPO Warrants for redemption as described above, it’s management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing(x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose shall mean the average reported last sale price of the shares of common stock for the five 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. The IPO Warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision but requires the approval, by written consent or vote, of the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding IPO Warrants in order to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders. The exercise price and number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable on exercise of the IPO Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the IPO Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of the Company’s common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices. For accounting purposes, the Company accounts for the Public Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 480-10-25-8 and ASC 815-40 and are classified as an equity instrument. |

Net Loss Per Share | Note 8. Net Loss Per Share The Company computes basic loss per share using net loss attributable to stockholders and the weighted-average number of the Company’s common stock shares outstanding during each period, less shares subject to repurchase under the Backstop Forward Purchase Agreement. Diluted earnings per share include shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and stock-based awards where the conversion of such instruments would be dilutive. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include stock options, earnout shares, and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to the Company’s stockholders’ is the same. The net loss per share for the basic and diluted earnings calculations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data): Schedule of Earnings Per Share, Basic and Diluted March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022 Income/(loss) available to common stockholders per share: Net loss $ (67,401 ) $ (5,375 ) Weighted average common shares outstanding: Basic and diluted 24,822,033 23,355,432 Net loss per share – basic and diluted $ (2.72 ) $ (0.23 ) |

License Agreements | 9. License Agreements Stanford University Agreement On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into a Nonexclusive License Agreement for COVID-19 Related Technology, or the Stanford Agreement, with Stanford University, or Stanford. Under the Stanford Agreement, Stanford granted to the Company a nonexclusive license to Stanford’s rights in a licensed patent related to therapeutic applications for COVID-19 to make, have made, use, import, offer to sell, and sell licensed product. Under the Stanford Agreement, the Company was responsible for reimbursement of patent costs. To date, the Company incurred reimbursed patent costs expense in the amount of $ 23,247 18,527 There were no license or royalty fees under the Stanford Agreement, unless the Company exceeds a gross margin of 40% on the sale of licensed product in one or more Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, countries. At such time as the gross margin on the sale of licensed product in any OECD country exceeds 40% in a single calendar quarter, the parties will meet and determine appropriate additional financial consideration for Stanford, as well as the terms associated with such consideration.

Income Taxes | 7. Income Taxes Provision for income taxes There is no provision for income taxes because the Company has incurred operating losses and capitalized certain items for income tax purposes since its inception and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The reported amount of income tax expense for the period differs from the amount that would result from applying the federal statutory tax rate to net loss before taxes primarily because of the change in valuation allowance. Schedule of Components of Income Tax Provision (Benefit) December 31, 2021 December 31, 2022 For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 December 31, 2022 Statutory federal income tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % Change in valuation allowance (21.0 )% (21.0 )% Income tax provision (benefit) 0.0 % 0.0 % Deferred tax assets and valuation allowance Deferred tax assets reflect the tax effects of net operating losses, tax credit carryovers, and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. At December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company’s deferred tax assets are the tax effects of amortization of organization and start-up costs, U.S. federal and state NOL carryforwards, and stock-based compensation. The significant components of the net deferred tax assets are as follows (in thousands): Schedule of Net Deferred Tax Assets December 31, December 31, 2021 2022 Deferred tax assets: Organization and start-up costs $ 324 $ 46 Net operating loss carryforwards 294 1,338 Stock-based compensation 11,876 14,475 Losses-put option and warrant issuance 226 Total deferred income tax assets 12,494 16,085 Valuation allowance (12,494 ) (16,085 ) Deferred tax asset, net of allowance $ — $ — The Company may be entitled to claim federal and state income tax credits for its 2020, 2021, and 2022 R&D activities, but these amounts have not yet been determined. Any R&D Credits generated by the Company in 2020, 2021, and 2022 would result in an additional deferred tax asset that would be subject to a full valuation allowance. Future changes in ownership may limit the utilization of R&D Credits due to Section 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar provisions. |

The Vellar Backstop Agreement is intended to provide AHAC with additional issued and outstanding shares and cash (in the short-term) following the closing of the Business Combination because it evidences Vellar’s intent to purchase shares from AHAC stockholders that elected to redeem their shares, and thus eliminates the need for AHAC to redeem and pay redeeming AHAC stockholders for their shares. This is intended to help AHAC obtain sufficient cash at the Closing of the Business Combination Agreement to meet the minimum cash condition therein, reduce redemption related risks and generally facilitate the consummation of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Vellar Backstop Agreement, Vellar has agreed to support the Transactions by purchasing up to 4,000,000 40,000,000 5.00 The Vellar Backstop Agreement matures on the earlier to occur of (a) 3 years after the closing of the Business Combination Agreement or (b) the date specified by Vellar in a written notice delivered at Vellar’s discretion if the VWAP of the shares during 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days is less than $3 per share. 2.50 5.00 1 5,000 The Company expects to receive the first reports from the backstop providers in April 2023, reporting the amount of shares they sold for the period ended March 31, 2023 and, if they sold any shares, corresponding payments of the proceeds to those repurchased. |

Mar. 31, 2023 | Dec. 31, 2022 | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and stated in U.S. dollars. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification and Accounting Standards Updates of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. The subsidiaries were formed to organize the Company’s therapeutic programs in order to optimize multiple commercialization options and to maximize each program’s value. | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, as applicable, including those related to accrued expenses, the fair values of the Company’s common stock, and the valuation of deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates using Company forecasts and future plans, current economic conditions, and information from third-party professionals that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and recorded amounts of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. The Company’s results can also be affected by economic, political, legislative, regulatory or legal actions. Economic conditions, such as recessionary trends, inflation, interest, changes in regulatory laws and monetary exchange rates, and government fiscal policies, can have a significant effect on operations. The Company could also be affected by civil, criminal, regulatory or administrative actions, claims, or proceedings. | |
Cash, Cash Equivalents | Cash, Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value and may include money market funds, U.S. Treasury and U.S. government-sponsored agency securities, corporate debt, commercial paper, and certificates of deposit. The Company had minimal cash or cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 and 2022. | |
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Off-balance Sheet Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk and Off-balance Sheet Risk The Company has held minimal cash and cash equivalents since its inception and certain of its expenses have been paid for by the proceeds from the issuance of common stock and debt, and by the Company’s Founder and Executive Chairman. The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s future results of operations involve several other risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations. Such factors include, but are not limited to, uncertainty of results of clinical trials and reaching milestones, uncertainty of regulatory approval of the Company’s product candidates, uncertainty of market acceptance of the Company’s product candidates, competition from other products, securing and protecting intellectual property, strategic relationships and dependence on key employees and research partners. The Company’s product candidates require Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and other non-U.S. regulatory agencies approval prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that any product candidates will receive the necessary approvals. If the Company was denied approval, if approval was delayed, if approval was unable to be maintained, it could have a materially adverse impact on the Company. | |
Revenue | Revenue The Company has not generated any revenue from any sources since its inception, including from product sales. The Company does not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the foreseeable future. If the Company’s development efforts for its product candidates are successful and result in regulatory approval, or license agreements with third parties, the Company may generate revenue in the future from product sales. However, there can be no assurance as to when revenue will be generated, if at all. | |
Research and Development Expenses | Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for research activities, including the development of product candidates. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, research and development expenses consist of expenses recognized for stock-based compensation and incurred for services agreements. Payments associated with licensing agreements to acquire exclusive licenses to develop, use, manufacture and commercialize products that have not reached technological feasibility and do not have alternate commercial use are expensed as incurred. | |
Deferred Offering Costs | Deferred Offering Costs Deferred offering costs, consisting of direct accounting fees, legal fees, regulatory fees, transfer agent fees, and printing costs directly related to the Business Combination are capitalized. The deferred offering costs will be reclassified to additional paid in capital upon completion of Business Combination. The amount is recorded as current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. In October 2021, the Company expensed $ 3.4 19 1.8 | |
Income Taxes and Tax Credits | Income Taxes and Tax Credits Income taxes are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes | |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributed to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and, if dilutive, the weighted-average number of potential shares of common stock. | |
Comprehensive Loss | Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company has had no unrealized gains or losses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. | |
Emerging Growth Company Status | Emerging Growth Company Status The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company, or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. | |
Recent Accounting Standards | Recent Accounting Standards The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. | |

Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and stated in U.S. dollars. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification and Accounting Standards Updates of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, and Form 8-K, as amended, originally filed with the SEC on February 15, 2023. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. The subsidiaries were formed to organize the Company’s therapeutic programs in order to optimize multiple commercialization options and to maximize each program’s value. | |

Research and Development Expenses | Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for research activities, including the development of product candidates. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, research and development expenses consist of expenses recognized for stock-based compensation and incurred for initial license fees, annual maintenance license fees, and services agreements. Payments associated with licensing agreements to acquire exclusive licenses to develop, use, manufacture and commercialize products that have not reached technological feasibility and do not have alternate commercial use are expensed as incurred. | |
Deferred Offering Costs | Deferred Offering and Transaction Costs Deferred offering costs, consisting of direct accounting fees, legal fees, regulatory fees, transfer agent fees, and printing costs directly related to the Business Combination are capitalized. The deferred offering costs in the amount of $ 2.0 million were reclassified to additional paid in capital upon the completion of the Business Combination. Approximately $ 7.4 2.4 3.1 1.9 | |
Income Taxes and Tax Credits | Income Taxes and Tax Credits Income taxes are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes | |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributed to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, less shares subject to repurchase, and, if dilutive, the weighted-average number of potential shares of common stock. | |
Comprehensive Loss | Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company has had no comprehensive income or loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. | |
Emerging Growth Company Status | Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 permits an “emerging growth company” to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to not “opt out” of this provision and, as a result, the Company will adopt new or revised accounting standards at the time private companies adopt the new or revised accounting standard and will do so until such time that the Company either (i) irrevocably elects to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualify as an emerging growth company. The Company is also a “smaller reporting company” meaning that the market value of its stock held by non- affiliates plus the proposed aggregate amount of gross proceeds to the Company as a result of this offering is expected to be less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. The Company may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of the stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If the Company is a smaller reporting company at the time that it ceases to be an emerging growth company, the Company may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, the Company may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation. | |
Recent Accounting Standards | Recent Accounting Standards The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Certain assets of the Company are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable: ● Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ● Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. ● Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. The Company’s Backstop Forward Purchase Agreement and Earnout Shares are carried at fair value, determined according to Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 4 - Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities). The carrying values of accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term loans approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these liabilities. |
