HUDSON ACQUISITION I CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
JUNE 30, 2024
NOTE 1 — NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND
BUSINESS
Hudson Acquisition I Corp. (“Hudson”
or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 13, 2021. The Company’s business purpose is to
effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or
more businesses (our “Initial Business Combination”). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Throughout this report, the terms “our,”
“we,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to Hudson Acquisition I Corp.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced
core operations. All activity for the period from January 13, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation
and raising funds through the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and efforts in
identifying a target to consummate an Initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the
completion of an Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income
from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
The registration statement pursuant to which the
Company registered its securities offered in the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 14, 2022. On October 18, 2022,
the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering and sold 6,000,000 units (the “Units”) at a price to the public of $10.00
per Unit, resulting in total gross proceeds of $60,000,000 (before underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses). Each
Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) and one right to receive
one-fifth (1/5) of a share of the Common Stock upon the consummation of an Initial Business Combination (“Right”).
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Company’s sponsor, Hudson SPAC Holding LLC (the “Sponsor”) should have purchased a total of 340,000
units (the “Initial Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per the Initial Private Placement Unit (the “Private
Placement”) (see Note 3).
On October 21, 2022, the Company closed the sale
of 845,300 units (the “OA Units”) at $10.00 per unit as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment
option (the “Overallotment Offering”) in connection with the previously announced Initial Public Offering pursuant to the
underwriting agreement by and between the Company and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC dated October 14, 2022. Each OA Unit consists of one
share of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share and one right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of one share of the Common
Stock upon the consummation of an Initial Business Combination (the “Right”). Such OA Units were registered pursuant to the
Company’s registration statement. As a result of the Overallotment Offering, the Company received gross proceeds of $8,453,000 (before
deducting certain underwriting discount and fees), part of which was placed in the Trust Account. On October 21, 2022, simultaneously
with the consummation of the Overallotment Offering, the Company completed the private placement of additional 31,500 units (the “Overallotment
Private Placement Units”) pursuant to the Unit Private Placement Agreement dated October 14, 2022 by and between the Company and
the Sponsor, in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00 per
Overallotment Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $315,000, a portion of which was placed in the Trust Account.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering
and Overallotment, an amount of $69,479,795 was placed in a Trust Account in the United States maintained by Continental Stock Transfer&
Trust Company, as trustee. The funds held in the Trust Account were invested only in United States government Treasury bills, bonds or
notes having a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under
the Investment Company Act and that invest solely in U.S. treasuries, so that the Company is not deemed to be an investment company under
the Investment Company Act. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the
Company to pay for income or other tax obligations, the remaining proceeds will not be released from the Trust Account until the earlier
of the completion of an Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation. The proceeds held in the Trust Account may be
used as consideration to pay the sellers of a target business with which the Company will complete the Initial Business Combination to
the extent not used to pay redeeming stockholders. Any amounts not paid as consideration to the sellers of the target business may be
used to finance operations of the target business.
No compensation of any kind (including finder’s,
consulting or other similar fees) will be paid to any of the Company’s existing officers, directors, stockholders, or any of their
affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Initial Business Combination (regardless
of the type of transaction that it is). However, such individuals will receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
them in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses, performing business
due diligence on suitable target businesses and business combinations as well as traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar
locations of prospective target businesses to examine their operations. Since the role of present management after our Initial Business
Combination is uncertain, the Company has no ability to determine what remuneration, if any, will be paid to those persons after the Initial
Business Combination.
The Company intends to use the excess working
capital available for miscellaneous expenses such as paying fees to consultants to assist with the search for a target business and for
director and officer liability insurance premiums, with the balance being held in reserve in the event due diligence, legal, accounting
and other expenses of structuring and negotiating business combinations exceed estimates, as well as for reimbursement of any out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by insiders, officers and directors in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf as described below.
The allocation of the net proceeds available to
the Company outside of the Trust Account, along with the interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account available to pay for income
and other tax liabilities, represents the best estimate of the intended uses of these funds. In the event that the assumptions prove to
be inaccurate, the Company may reallocate some of such proceeds within the above-described categories. If the estimate of the costs of
undertaking due diligence and negotiating the Initial Business Combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or the amount
of interest available to the Company from the Trust Account is insufficient as a result of the volatile interest rate environment, the
Company may be required to raise additional capital, the amount, availability and cost of which is currently unascertainable. In this
event, the Company could seek such additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or third parties. The Sponsor
has agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 to be used for working capital purposes pursuant to a Promissory
Note. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $534,208 in borrowings under the Promissory Note (see Note 4). If the Company is unable to
obtain the necessary funds, the Company may be forced to cease searching for a target business and liquidate without completing the Initial
Business Combination.
The Company will likely use substantially all
of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, including the funds held in the Trust Account, in connection with the Initial Business
Combination and to pay expenses relating thereto, including the deferred underwriting discounts payable to the underwriters. To the extent
that the Company’s capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect the Initial Business Combination, the proceeds
held in the Trust Account which are not used to consummate an Initial Business Combination will be disbursed to the combined company and
will, along with any other net proceeds not expended, be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such
working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for
strategic acquisitions.
To the extent that the Company is unable to consummate
an Initial Business Combination, the Company will pay the costs of liquidation from the remaining assets outside of the Trust Account.
If such funds are insufficient, the Sponsor has agreed to pay the funds necessary to complete such liquidation and has agreed not to seek
repayment of such expenses.
If no business combination is completed prior
to the mandatory liquidation date, the proceeds then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the
Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes (less $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), will be
used to fund the redemption of the public shares. The Sponsor, directors, director nominees and officers will enter into a letter agreement
with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect
to any Founder Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within such time period.
In connection with the shares purchased by the
founders, the founders waive any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distributions by the Company from the
Trust Account which will be established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders and into which substantially all of
the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering will be deposited (the “Trust Account”), in the event of a liquidation of the
Company upon the Company’s failure to timely complete an Initial Business Combination.
Extension Amendment
On July 17, 2023, the Company held the Special
Meeting. On June 28, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 8,928,125 shares of common stock outstanding,
in which 8,556,625 were entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, approximately 84% of which were represented in person
or by proxy at the Special Meeting. The stockholders approved the proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to
give the Company the option to extend the date by which the Company must effect a Business Combination beyond July 18, 2023 up to nine
(9) times for an additional (1) month each time to April 18, 2024 upon the deposit into the Trust Account of $80,000 for each calendar
month. This amendment increased the time the Company has to consummate an Initial Business Combination from the original maximum amount
of 15 months to 18 months from the Initial Public Offering date. In connection with the votes to approve the proposals above, the holders
of 4,427,969 shares of common stock of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for approximately $10.43 per
share, leaving approximately $25 million in the Trust Account.
On July 17, 2023, the Company filed a certificate
of amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
(the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Amendment amends
the Certificate of Incorporation to (i) give the Company the option to extend the date by which the Company must effect a Business Combination
beyond July 18, 2023 up to nine (9) times for an additional (1) month each time to April 18, 2024 upon the deposit into the Trust Account
of $80,000 for each calendar month and (ii) eliminate the limitation that the Company may not redeem public shares to the extent
that such redemption would result in the Company having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of less than $5,000,001.
On April
17, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Amendment amends the Certificate of Incorporation to (i) give the Company the option to extend
the date by which the Company must effect a Business Combination beyond April 18, 2024, up to nine (9) times for an additional (1) month
each time to January 18, 2025, upon the deposit into the Trust Account of $25,000 for each calendar month and (ii) to remove the
geographic limitations for a Business Combination., which requires the deletion of Section J of the Sixth Article in the Charter: “J.
At no time, the Corporation shall undertake a Business Combination with any entity being based in or having the majority of its operations
in China (including Hong Kong and Macau).” In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment, the holders
of 2,315,868 shares of Public Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares (and did not withdraw their redemption)
for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.10 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $25,712,132. Following such
redemptions, 101,463 Public Shares remained outstanding.
On July 10, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate
of Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware. The Certificate of Amendment amends the Certificate of Incorporation to (i) give the Company the option to extend the date
by which the Company must effect a Business Combination beyond January 18, 2025, up to nine (9) times for an additional (1) month each
time to October 18, 2025, and will no longer require monthly deposits into the Trust Account as of July 5, 2024 (See Note 9).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $135,131
in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $2,006,280, which excludes franchise tax payable, income tax payable, and
excise tax payable. The Company may raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or its stockholders,
officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers and directors and the Sponsor may but are not obligated to (except
as described above), loan the Company funds, from time to time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet
the Company’s working capital needs. Based on the foregoing, the Company believes it will have sufficient working capital and borrowing
capacity from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors to meet its needs through
the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or at least one year from the date that the financial statements were issued.
In connection with the Company’s assessment
of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until
October 18, 2025 (see Note 9), assuming the monthly extension requirements are satisfied, to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination
Period”). Following the first extension, the Company was able to extend the date by which an Initial Business Combination must be
consummated beyond July 18, 2023 up to nine times for an additional one month each time to April 18, 2024 upon the deposit into the Trust
Account of $80,000 each calendar month. Following the second extension, the Company was able to extend the date by which an Initial Business
Combination must be consummated beyond April 18, 2024 up to an additional nine times for an additional one month each time to January
18, 2025 upon the deposit into the Trust Account of $25,000 each calendar month. Following the third extension, the Company is able to
extend the date by which an Initial Business Combination must be consummated beyond January 18, 2025, up to an additional nine times for
an additional one month each time to October 18, 2025, with extension payments in connection with the first and second extension ending
on July 5, 2024. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination
is not consummated by October 18, 2025, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has
determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution
raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to complete a Business Combination
prior to the end of the Combination Period. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the
Company be required to liquidate after the end of the Combination Period.
NOTE 2 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying
unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete
presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying
unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period
ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on July 23, 2024. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”),
and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that
are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements
of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports
and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder
approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth
companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that
have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange
Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to
opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election
to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard
is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company,
can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the
Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an
emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences
in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in
conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise
significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances
that existed at the date of the financial statement, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near
term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments
with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents
as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
The Company classifies its Marketable Securities
as held-to-maturity in accordance with ASC Topic 320 “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities
are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded
at amortized cost on the accompanying condensed balance sheet and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.
When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market securities, the investments are classified
as trading securities. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in interest earned on
investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments
held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Offering Costs
Offering costs consist of professional fees, filing,
regulatory and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject
to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at
fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that is either within the control
of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified
as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features
certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future
events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the
stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value
immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each
reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional
paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the
common stock subject to possible redemption reflected on the condensed balance sheet is reflected in the following table:

Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method
of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and
a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized
tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not
aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company
is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
Net (Loss) Income per Share of Common Stock
The Company has two outstanding classes of shares,
which are referred to as redeemable common stock and non-redeemable common stock. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the
two classes of stock. The 101,463 redeemable shares of common stock for which the outstanding Public Rights are exercisable
were excluded from diluted earnings and losses per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 because they are contingently
exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per share of common stock is the same
as basic net (loss) income per share of common stock for the period. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator
used to compute basic and diluted net (loss) income per share for each class of shares.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal
Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management
believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and
liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates
the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would
be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and
the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
| ● | Level
1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; |
| ● | Level
2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices
for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| ● | Level
3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions,
such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure
fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is
categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Unit Purchase Option
At the closing of the Initial Public Offering,
the Company sold to the underwriter, for an aggregate of $100, an option (the “UPO”) to purchase 57,500 Units, including over-allotment.
The over-allotment option was not exercised in full on October 21, 2022, therefore, the UPO was reduced pro-rata to 57,044 Units, and
had a fair value of $25,099. The UPO will be exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, between the close of the business combination
and fifth anniversary of the date of the Initial Public Offering at a price per Unit equal to $11.50 (or 115% of the public unit offering
price). The Company accounts for the Unit Purchase Option, inclusive of the receipt of $100 cash
payment, as an offering cost of the Initial Public Offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ deficit. The Unit Purchase
Option and such units purchased pursuant to the Unit Purchase Option, as well as the common stock underlying such units, the rights included
in such units, the shares of common stock that are issuable for the rights included in such units, have been deemed compensation by FINRA
and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). The Unit Purchase Option grants to holders demand
and “piggy back” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective date of the registration
statement with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon
exercise of the Unit Purchase Option. The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than
underwriting commissions which will be paid for by the holders themselves. The exercise price and number of units issuable upon exercise
of the Unit Purchase Option may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or the Company’s
recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the option will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a
price below its exercise price.
Representative Shares
The Company agreed to issue to the underwriter
at the closing of the Initial Public Offering up to 136,906 representative shares (“Representative Shares”), due to the partial
exercise of the over-allotment, which will be issued upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination. The representative shares
had an initial fair value of $327,205 and is included as deferred underwriting commissions in the accompanying balance sheets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020,
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options
(Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)
(“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current
models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative
scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces
additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity.
ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for
all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and should
be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2020. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In December
2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which
will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information
for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid
disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09
will become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU would
have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a
material effect on the Company’s financial statement.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia-Ukraine war, and the Middle East geopolitical tension on the economy and the capital markets and has concluded
that, while it is reasonably possible that such events could have negative effects on the Company’s financial position and outlook
for an Initial Business Combination, the specific impacts are not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The current challenging economic climate may lead
to adverse changes in cash flows, working capital levels and/or debt balances, which may also have a direct impact on the Company’s
future operating results and financial position after any such Initial Business Combination in the future. The ultimate duration and magnitude
of the impact and the efficacy of government interventions on the economy and the financial effect on the Company is not known at this
time. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and not in the Company’s control.
NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, on October
18, 2022, the Company sold 6,000,000 Units at a price to the public of $10.00 per Unit, resulting in total gross proceeds of $60,000,000
(before underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses). Each Unit consists of one share of Common Stock of the Company,
par value $0.0001 per share and one Right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of a share of the Common Stock upon the consummation of an Initial
Business Combination.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Sponsor should have purchased a total of 340,000 Initial Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per the Private
Placement. However, on October 18, 2022, simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor partially consummated
the Private Placement by subscribing to 238,500 Private Placement Units instead of the full Initial Private Placement Units, generating
gross proceeds of approximately $2,385,000 instead of the full $3,400,000, part of the proceeds of which were placed in the Trust Account.
The Trust Account was nonetheless fully-funded. On November 30, 2022, the Company received an additional remittance of $515,000 underlying
the Sponsor’s purchase of the Private Placement Units, reducing the balance to $500,000. Additionally, on December 1, 2022, the
Sponsor applied the outstanding balance on the Promissory Note of $500,000 towards the remaining stock subscription balance, which fully
funded the Sponsor’s purchase of the Private Placement Units. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to
the Private Placement. The Purchased Private Placement Units are identical to the Units, except that (a) the Purchased Private Placement
Units and their component securities will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the consummation of the Company’s
Initial Business Combination except to permitted transferees and (b) the shares and rights included as a component of the Purchased Private
Placement Units, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, will be entitled to registration rights, respectively.
If the Company does not complete the Initial Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date, the proceeds from the sale of
the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the public shares (subject to the requirements
of applicable law) and the rights included as part of the Private Placement Units will expire worthless.
On October 21, 2022, the Company closed the sale
of 845,300 OA Units at $10.00 per unit as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option in connection
with the previously announced Initial Public Offering pursuant to the underwriting agreement by and between the Company and Chardan Capital
Markets, LLC dated October 14, 2022. Each OA Unit consists of one share of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share and
one right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of one share of the Common Stock upon the consummation of an Initial Business Combination. Such OA
Units were registered pursuant to the Company’s registration statement. As a result of the Overallotment Offering, the Company received
gross proceeds of $8,453,000 (before deducting certain underwriting discount and fees), part of which was placed in the Trust Account.
On October 21, 2022, simultaneously with the consummation of the Overallotment Offering, the Company completed the private placement of
additional 31,500 Private Placement Units pursuant to the Unit Private Placement Agreement dated October 14, 2022 by and between the Company
and the Sponsor, in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00
per Overallotment Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $315,000, a portion of which was placed in the Trust Account.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Overallotment,
an amount of $69,479,795 was placed in a Trust Account in the United States maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company,
as trustee.
NOTE 4 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Private Placement Units
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Sponsor should have purchased a total of 340,000 units (the “Initial Private Placement Units”) at a price
of $10.00 per the Initial Private Placement Unit (the “Private Placement”) (see Note 3). On October 21, 2022, the Company
closed the sale of 845,300 units (the “OA Units”) at $10.00 per unit as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise
of their over-allotment option (the “Overallotment Offering”) in connection with the previously announced Initial Public Offering
pursuant to the underwriting agreement by and between the Company and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC dated October 14, 2022. Each OA Unit
consists of one share of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share and one right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of one share
of the Common Stock upon the consummation of an Initial Business Combination (the “Right”). Such OA Units were registered
pursuant to the Company’s registration statement. As a result of the Overallotment Offering, the Company received gross proceeds
of $8,453,000 (before deducting certain underwriting discount and fees), part of which was placed in the Trust Account. On October 21,
2022, simultaneously with the consummation of the Overallotment Offering, the Company completed the private placement of additional 31,500
units (the “Overallotment Private Placement Units”) pursuant to the Unit Private Placement Agreement dated October 14, 2022
by and between the Company and the Sponsor, in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option,
at a purchase price of $10.00 per Overallotment Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $315,000, a portion of which was
placed in the Trust Account.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On April 5, 2021, as further amended on April
28, 2021 and September 8, 2022, the Company entered into a promissory note with the Sponsor for principal amount up to $1,000,000. The
promissory note is non-interest bearing and matures on the earlier of: (i) the date of the consummation of the Company’s Initial
Business Combination or (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time. A maximum of
$1,000,000 of such loans may be converted into Units, at the price of $10.00 per Unit at the option of the Sponsor.
On May 6, 2021, the Company made a drawdown of
$300,000 on the promissory note. On April 15 and August 19, 2022, the Company made additional drawdowns of $100,000 and $100,000 on the
promissory note, respectively.
On December 1, 2022, the Sponsor applied the outstanding
balance on the Promissory Note of $500,000 towards the payments for Private Placement Units.
On July 20, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor
amended and restated the promissory note, dated as of April 5, 2021, providing for loans up to $1,000,000 in the aggregate. The promissory
note bears no interest and all unpaid principal under the promissory note will be due and payable in full upon the earlier of (i) the
date of the consummation of the Company’s Initial Business Combination or (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. At the
election of the Sponsor, up to $1.0 million of the loans under the promissory note may be settled in Units at a conversion rate of $10.00
per Unit, with each private unit comprised of one share of common stock of the Company and one right to one-fifth of a share of the Company’s
common stock. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $590,811 and $403,708, respectively, was outstanding under the promissory note.
In connection with the approval of the extension
amendment proposal, on July 18, 2023, the Sponsor entered into a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note issued by the Company
in favor of the Sponsor (the “Extension Note”), providing for loans up to the aggregate principal amount of $720,000. On July
24, 2023, pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended by the Certificate of Amendment, $80,000
was deposited into the Trust Account for a one-month extension. $80,000 will be deposited into the Trust Account each month the Company
determines to extend the date by which it must consummate an Initial Business Combination. The Company elected to extend such date until
April 18, 2024, therefore, an aggregate deposit of $720,000 of the proceeds of the Extension Note will be made into the Trust Account.
The Extension Note bears no interest and all unpaid principal under the Extension Note will be due and payable in full upon the earlier
of (i) the date of the consummation of the Company’s Initial Business Combination or (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was $240,000, respectively, outstanding under the Extension Note.
Administrative Support Agreement
Commencing on October 14, 2022, the Company has
agreed to pay the Sponsor or its affiliate a total of $20,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative
support. Upon completion of our Initial Business Combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three
months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $60,000 and $60,000, respectively, on administrative support fees. For the six
months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $120,000 and $120,000, respectively, on administrative support fees.
Due to Related Party
In January 2024, the Company entered into an agreement
in which the Company will pay $60,000 to a consulting company, owned by the Company’s current CEO, Mr. Warren Wang, for a two-month
advisory service that was incurred and paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
NOTE 5 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration Rights
The holders of the (i) the Founder Shares, which
were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, and (ii) Private Placement Units, which were sold
simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights
agreement signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of the majority of these securities are
entitled to make up to three demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares can
elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which the Founder Shares are to be
released from escrow. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration
statements filed subsequent to our consummation of our Initial Business Combination.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters received a cash underwriting
discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $1,369,060 and were paid offering expenses of $100,000 upon closing of the Initial Public Offering including
the overallotment. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had recorded deferred underwriting commissions of $2,723,060
payable only upon completion of the Initial Business Combination, which consisted of commissions and representative shares issuable in
connection with the Initial Public Offering. The Company agreed to issue to the underwriter at the closing of the Initial Public Offering
up to 136,906 representative shares, due to the partial exercise of the over-allotment, which will be issued upon the completion of the
Initial Business Combination. The representative shares had an initial fair value of $327,205.
Excise Tax
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 imposes a 1%
Excise Tax on the repurchase of corporate stock by a publicly traded U.S. corporation following December 31, 2022. For purposes of the
Excise Tax, a repurchase will generally include redemptions, corporate buybacks and other transactions in which the corporation acquires
its stock from a shareholder in exchange for cash or property, subject to exceptions for de minimis transactions and certain reorganizations.
As a result, subject to certain rules, the Excise
Tax will apply to any redemption by a U.S.-domiciled SPAC taking place after December 31, 2022, including redemptions (i) by shareholders
in connection with the SPAC’s Initial Business Combination or a proxy vote to extend the lifespan of the SPAC, (ii) by SPACs if
the SPAC does not complete a de-SPAC transaction within the required time set forth in its constituent documents, or (iii) in connection
with the wind-up and liquidation of the SPAC. The financial responsibility for such Excise Tax resides with the Company and the Sponsor.
This amount of 1% has been included in the accompanying financial statements.
At this
time, it has been determined that the IR Act tax provisions have an impact to the Company’s accompanying financial statements as
there were redemptions by the public stockholders in July 2023 and April 2024; as a result, the Company recorded $718,821 and $461,700 excise
tax liability as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company will continue to monitor for updates to the Company’s
business along with guidance issued with respect to the IR Act to determine whether any adjustments are needed to the Company’s
tax provision in future periods.
During the second quarter of 2024, the IRS issued
final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of the excise tax. Pursuant to those regulations, the Company would need
to file a return and remit payment for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 on or before
October 31, 2024.
The Company is currently evaluating its options
with respect to payment of this obligation. If the Company is unable to pay its obligation in full, it will be subject to additional
interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 10% interest per annum and a 5% underpayment penalty per month or portion
of a month up to 25% of the total liability for any amount that is unpaid from November 1, 2024 until paid in full.
Unit Purchase Option
At the closing of the Initial Public Offering,
the Company sold to the underwriter, for an aggregate of $100, an option (the “UPO”) to purchase 57,500 Units, including over-allotment.
The over-allotment option was not exercised in full on October 21, 2022, therefore, the UPO was reduced pro-rata to 57,044 Units, and
had a fair value of $25,099. The UPO will be exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, between the close of the business combination
and fifth anniversary of the date of the Initial Public Offering at a price per Unit equal to $11.50 (or 115% of the public unit offering
price). The Company accounts for the Unit Purchase Option, inclusive of the receipt of $100 cash
payment, as an offering cost of the Initial Public Offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ deficit. The Unit Purchase
Option and such units purchased pursuant to the Unit Purchase Option, as well as the common stock underlying such units, the rights included
in such units, the shares of common stock that are issuable for the rights included in such units, have been deemed compensation by FINRA
and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). The Unit Purchase Option grants to holders demand
and “piggy back” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective date of the registration
statement with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon
exercise of the Unit Purchase Option. The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than
underwriting commissions which will be paid for by the holders themselves. The exercise price and number of units issuable upon exercise
of the Unit Purchase Option may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or the Company’s
recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the option will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a
price below its exercise price.
Agreement
with Aiways Automobile Europe GmbH
On May 14, 2024, the Company
set forth the terms of a proposed business combination transaction, between HUDA and Aiways Automobile Europe GmbH (“Aiways”)
via a Letter Agreement. In connection with the proposed transaction, Aiways agreed to make a non-refundable payment of $1.0 million to
the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2024 to be used to support the proposed transaction. The Company recorded the receipt
of the non-refundable payment as an advance from target company for de-SPAC transaction in the accompanying balance sheets. Upon closing
of the initial business combination, Aiways shareholders shall receive newly issued shares in exchange for advancing the Company funds
for working capital purposes.
NOTE 6 — COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE
REDEMPTION
The Company’s common stock features certain
redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events.
Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’
equity section of the Company’s balance sheets in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”.
NOTE 7 — STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Authorized Shares
The total number of shares of capital stock, par
value of $0.0001 per share, which the Company is authorized to issue is 200,000,000 shares of common stock. Except as otherwise required
by law, the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power with respect to the Company.
Founder’s Shares
At inception, January 13, 2021, the Company issued
2,875,000 Founder Shares of common stock for total receivable of approximately of $25,000 received on May 11, 2021. These Founder Shares
included up to 375,000 shares of which were subject to forfeiture by the stockholder if the underwriters did not fully exercise their
over-allotment option. On December 10, 2021, pursuant to the Underwriter Addendum, the aggregate number of Founder Shares were reduced
to 1,725,000. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share surrender. In connection with the
partial exercise of the over-allotment option on October 21, 2022, 13,675 Founder Shares were forfeited. The remaining Founder Shares
represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 2,082,825
shares outstanding.
Initial Public Offering
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased a total of 340,000 Initial Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit.
On October 21, 2022, simultaneously with the consummation
of the Overallotment Offering, the Company completed the private placement of additional 31,500 units (the “Overallotment Private
Placement Units”) pursuant to the Unit Private Placement Agreement dated October 14, 2022 by and between the Company and the Sponsor,
in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Overallotment
Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $315,000, a portion of which was placed in the Trust Account.
Rights
Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving
company in the Initial Business Combination, each holder of a public right will automatically receive one-fifth (1/5) of a share of common
stock upon consummation of the Initial Business Combination. In the event the Company is not be the surviving company upon completion
of the Initial Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order
to receive the one-fifth (1/5) of a share underlying each right upon consummation of the Initial Business Combination. The Company will
not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole
share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. As a result, holders
of Rights must hold such Rights in multiples of 5 in order to receive shares for all of the holder’s rights upon closing of an Initial
Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within the required time period and the public
shares are redeemed for the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds for their rights and
the rights will expire worthless.
NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair
value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have
received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company
seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable
inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities).
The following table presents information about
the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and indicates
the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

NOTE 9 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through
the date the financial statements are available to be issued. Other than below, there are no subsequent events identified that would require
disclosure in the financial statements.
Extension
Amendment
On
July 5, 2024, the Company held the Special Meeting. On June 4, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 1,816,463 shares
of common stock outstanding, and 2,184,288 shares of common stock and units entitled to be voted at the Special Meeting, approximately
98% of which were represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting. The stockholders approved the proposal to amend the Company’s
Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to an amendment to the Charter in the form set forth in Annex A to
the Proxy Statement to extend the date by which the Company must effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses from January 18, 2025, up to nine (9) times for an additional
one (1) month each time to October 18, 2025, and will no longer require monthly deposits into the Trust Account as of July 5, 2024. The
stockholders also approved an amendment to the Charter to amend the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
pursuant to the Charter in the form set forth in forth in Annex B to the Proxy Statement to amend Article Sixth of the Charter by adding
a definition of IPO Rights, and Sixth (A)(ii) by adding “and IPO Rights” and (“and rights”) to read: “or
(ii) provide its holders of IPO Shares and IPO Rights with the opportunity to sell their shares and rights to the Corporation by means
of a tender offer (“Tender Offer”)”.
On
July 10, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Amendment amends the Certificate of Incorporation to (i) give
the Company the option to extend the date by which the Company must effect a Business Combination beyond January 18, 2025, up to nine
(9) times for an additional (1) month each time to October 18, 2025, and will no longer require monthly deposits into the Trust Account
as of July 5, 2024.
In
connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment, the holders of 3,200 shares of Public Shares properly exercised their right
to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.08 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $35,456,84.
Nasdaq Compliance
On July 23, 2024, the Company received notice
from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that its securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market. On December 15,
2023, the staff of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) notified the Company that the market value of its listed securities had been below
the minimum $50,000,000 required for continued listing as set forth in Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “Rule”) for the previous
30 consecutive trading days. Therefore, in accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or
until June 12, 2024, to regain compliance with the Rule. However, the Company did not regain compliance with the Rule.
In addition, based on the Staff’s review
of the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed June 24, 2024, the Staff determined that the Company does not comply Listing Rule
5450(b)(2)(A), requiring a minimum 1,100,000 Publicly Held Shares, and Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C), requiring a minimum of $15 million
Market Value of Publicly Held Shares requirement.
Based on the Company’s equity information
as of July 22, 2024, the Company does not comply with the requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Listing
Rule 5550.
Additionally, the Staff has concerns that the
Company may also no longer comply with the minimum 400 Total Holders requirement of Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) due to the substantial number
of shareholder redemptions and low number of shares remaining outstanding.
Finally, the Company failed to timely file its
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, as required by Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).
Accordingly, these matters each serve as additional
and separate basis for delisting.
Under Listing Rule 5810, a company that fails
to comply with the continued listing requirements is normally afforded a compliance period or the ability to submit a plan of compliance
in order to be granted time to regain compliance. However, given that the Company fails to comply with multiple continued listing requirements
by such significant margins, and that each of these requirements is related to the security’s liquidity necessary to maintain a
fair and orderly market, the Staff has determined to apply more stringent criteria pursuant to its discretionary authority set forth in
Listing Rule 5101. Accordingly, the Staff has concluded that continued listing is inappropriate and to delist the Company’s securities
in order to maintain the quality of and public confidence in the Nasdaq market, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices,
to promote just and equitable principles of trade, and to protect investors and the public interest.
Accordingly, the Staff has determined that the
Company’s securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market. In that regard, unless the Company requests an appeal of this
determination by July 30, 2024, as described below, trading of the Company’s ordinary shares, warrants, and units will be suspended
at the opening of business on August 1, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”),
which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
The Company may appeal the Staff’s
determination to a Hearings Panel, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. Hearings are typically
scheduled to occur approximately 30-45 days after the date of the hearing request. A request for a hearing regarding a delinquent filing
will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities only for a period of 15 days from the date of the request.
When the Company requests a hearing, it may also
request a stay of the suspension, pending the hearing. The request should include an explanation of why an extended stay is appropriate.
A Panel will review the request for an extended stay and notify the Company of its conclusion as soon as is practicable but in any event
no later than 15 calendar days following the deadline to request the hearing.
Requests for a hearing and for an extended stay
should be submitted electronically through Nasdaq’s Listing Center, and must be received no later than 4:00 Eastern Time on June
30, 2024. If a request is not received by that date and time, trading in the Company’s shares will be suspended on the second business
day following the deadline. The request for a hearing should be accompanied by confirmation of a wire transfer of the fee for a hearing.
The fee for a hearing is $20,000.
In response to the Nasdaq delisting notice, the
Company has taken the following actions:
| ● | On
July 23, 2024, the Company applied to transfer from Nasdaq Global Market to Nasdaq Capital Market. |
| ● | On
July 24, 2024, the Company requested a hearing and paid the fee for the hearing. |
| ● | On
July 24, 2024, the Company received hearing instructions from Nasdaq, and has secured the hearing date for August 22, 2024. |
The Company submitted its written submission to Nasdaq
on August 2, 2024.
The Company has also confirmed with Nasdaq that,
in the event that the Company is delisted, the delisting will not preclude the combined entity (the de-SPAC entity) from receiving initial
listing approval for listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market. In fact, the combined entity will be held to the same quantitative initial listing
standards irrespective of the listing status of the SPAC as a business combination resulting in a change of control and/or a de-SPAC business
combination necessitates initial listing approval.
The Company filed its Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2023 on July 23, 2024. The Company filed its Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2024 on August 2, 2024.
On August 12, 2024, the Company received a notification from Nasdaq
that it has cured its filing discrepancies under Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).
The Company has come up with a series of action
plans to regain compliance, and is confident the plan will resolve Listing Rules 5450(a)(2), 5450(b)(2)(A), and 5450(b)(2)(C) after the
hearing on August 22, 2024.

future events or otherwise.
Overview
We are a blank check company
formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 13, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset
acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate
our Initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the initial public offering, our capital stock, debt or a combination
of cash, stock and debt.
We expect to continue to incur
significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete an Initial Business Combination
will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in
any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2024 were organizational activities
and those necessary to prepare for our initial public offering and identifying a target for an Initial Business Combination. We do not
expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Initial Business Combination. We generate non-operating income
in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company
(for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the six months ended June
30, 2024, we had a net loss of $108,631, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the trust account of $549,620
and interest earned on the operating cash account of $1,257, offset by general and administrative expenses of $469,509, franchise tax
expense of $24,000, and provision for income taxes of $166,000.
For the six months ended June
30, 2023, we had net income of $433,379, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the trust account of $1,547,115,
offset by general and administrative expenses of $558,736 and franchise tax expense of $100,000.
Factors That May Adversely
Affect Our Results of Operations
Our results of operations and
our ability to complete an Initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty
and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things,
downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply
chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and
the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully
predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact
our business and our ability to complete an Initial Business Combination.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
On October 18, 2022, we consummated
our Initial Public Offering of 6,000,000 Units, at a price to the public of $10.00 per Unit, resulting in total gross proceeds of $60,000,000.
On October 18, 2022, simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor partially consummated the Private
Placement by subscribing to 238,500 units instead of the full Initial Private Placement Units, generating gross proceeds of approximately
$2,385,000 instead of the full $3,400,000, part of the proceeds of which were placed in the Trust Account. The Trust Account was nonetheless
fully funded.
On October 21, 2022, we closed
the sale of 845,300 Over-allotment Units at $10.00 per unit as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their Over-allotment
Option in connection with the previously announced Initial Public Offering pursuant to the underwriting agreement by and between us and
Chardan Capital Markets, LLC dated October 14, 2022. Each Over-allotment Unit consists of one share of Common Stock of the Company, par
value $0.0001 per share and one Right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of one share of the Common Stock upon the consummation of an Initial
Business Combination. Such Over-allotment Units were registered pursuant to our registration statement. As a result of the Overallotment
Offering, we received gross proceeds of $8,453,000 (before deducting certain underwriting discount and fees), part of which was placed
in the Trust Account. On October 21, 2022, simultaneously with the consummation of the Overallotment Offering, we completed the Overallotment
Private Placement of additional 31,500 units pursuant to the Unit Private Placement Agreement dated October 14, 2022 by and between us
and our Sponsor, in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00
per Overallotment Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $315,000, a portion of which was placed in the Trust Account.
For the six months ended June
30, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $252,660. Net loss of $108,631 was offset by a non-cash charge for interest earned
on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $549,587. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $910,877 of cash
from operating activities.
For the six months ended June
30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $269,729. Net income of $433,379 consisted of a non-cash charge for interest earned
on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,547,115. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $844,007 of cash
from operating activities.
As of June 30, 2024, we had
cash held in the trust account of $1,190,740. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any
amounts representing interest earned on the trust account to complete our Initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay
taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Initial Business Combination,
the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses,
make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of June 30, 2024, we had
$135,131 of cash held outside of the trust account. We intend to use the funds held outside the trust account primarily to identify and
evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or
similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements
of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete an Initial Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital
deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor
or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete an Initial Business
Combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. In the event that an Initial Business
Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts, but
no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment.
If our estimate of the costs
of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an Initial Business Combination are less than the
actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Initial Business Combination.
Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Initial Business Combination or because we become obligated
to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our Initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue
additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Initial Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities
laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Initial Business Combination. If we are unable to
complete our Initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations
and liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our Initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need
to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Going Concern
In connection with our assessment
of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we have until October
18, 2025, assuming the monthly extension requirements are satisfied, to consummate a Business Combination. Following the first extension,
we are able to extend the date by which an Initial Business Combination must be consummated beyond July 18, 2023 up to nine times for
an additional one month each time to April 18, 2024 upon the deposit into the Trust Account of $80,000 each calendar month. Following
the second extension, we are able to extend the date by which an Initial Business Combination must be consummated beyond April 18, 2024
up to an additional nine times for an additional one month each time to January 18, 2025 upon the deposit into the Trust Account of $25,000
each calendar month, with monthly extension payments ceasing on July 5, 2024. Following the third extension, we are able to extend the
date by which an Initial Business Combination must be consummated beyond January 18, 2025 up to nine times for an additional one month
each time to October 18, 2025. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination
is not consummated within the Combination Period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. Management has determined
that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution
raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to complete a Business Combination prior
to the end of the Combination Period. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required
to liquidate after the end of the Combination Period.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance
sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2024.
Contractual
Obligations
We
do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement
to pay the sponsor a monthly fee of $20,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support provided to the Company.
We began incurring these fees on October 18, 2022 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the consummation
of an Initial Business Combination or our liquidation.
As of June 30, 2024, we had
recorded deferred underwriting commissions of $2,723,060 payable only upon completion of our Initial Business Combination, which consisted
of deferred underwriting commissions and representative shares (see Note 5).
Critical Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual
results could materially differ from those estimates.
The
Company’s significant accounting estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and
estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of representative shares and unit purchase option.
Cybersecurity
Risk Management and Strategy
We
recognize the critical importance of developing, implementing, and maintaining robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard our information
systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our data.
Managing Material Risks
& Integrated Overall Risk Management
We
have strategically integrated cybersecurity risk management into our broader risk management framework to promote a company-wide culture
of cybersecurity risk management. This integration ensures that cybersecurity considerations are an integral part of our decision-making
processes at every level. Our management team continuously evaluates and addresses cybersecurity risks in alignment with our business
objectives and operational needs.
Oversee Third-party Risk
Because
we are aware of the risks associated with third-party service providers, we have implemented stringent processes to oversee and manage
these risks. We conduct thorough security assessments of all third-party providers before engagement and maintain ongoing monitoring to
ensure compliance with our cybersecurity standards. The monitoring includes annual assessments of the SOC reports of our providers and
implementing complementary controls. This approach is designed to mitigate risks related to data breaches or other security incidents
originating from third-parties.
Risks from Cybersecurity
Threats
We
have not encountered cybersecurity challenges that have materially impaired our operations or financial standing.
Item 3. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required
for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and
Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their desired control objectives.
As
required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer
and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024 because the material weaknesses in our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 and as described below, continues to exist as of June 30, 2024.
In
connection with management’s report on internal controls over financial reporting included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2022, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was
not effective as of December 31, 2022. We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and those material
weaknesses were not fully remediated as of June 30, 2024. The following material weaknesses continue to exist in our internal control
over financial reporting:
|
1. |
delinquent filings with the SEC including Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023, and Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023; |
|
2. |
complex accounting, specifically the accounting for representative shares and the Unit Purchase Option; and |
|
3. |
the timely forfeiture of founder shares upon the over-allotment in connection with the Initial Public Offering. |
A
material weakness, as defined in the SEC regulations, is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as
deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Management
plans to remediate the material weakness by enhancing our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements
and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding accounting applications.
The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately
have the intended effects.
Changes in Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
Other
than the remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Factors
that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report include the risk factors described in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk
factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
Item 2. Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On October 18, 2022, we consummated
our Initial Public Offering of 6,000,000 Units, at a price to the public of $10.00 per Unit, resulting in total gross proceeds of $60,000,000.
On October 18, 2022, simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor partially consummated the Private
Placement by subscribing to 238,500 units instead of the full Initial Private Placement Units, generating gross proceeds of approximately
$2,385,000 instead of the full $3,400,000, part of the proceeds of which were placed in the Trust Account. The Trust Account was nonetheless
fully-funded.
On October 21, 2022, we closed
the sale of 845,300 Over-allotment Units at $10.00 per unit as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their Over-allotment
Option in connection with the previously announced Initial Public Offering pursuant to the underwriting agreement by and between us and
Chardan Capital Markets, LLC dated October 14, 2022. Each Over-allotment Unit consists of one share of Common Stock of the Company, par
value $0.0001 per share and one Right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of one share of the Common Stock upon the consummation of an Initial
Business Combination. Such Over-allotment Units were registered pursuant to our registration statement. As a result of the Overallotment
Offering, we received gross proceeds of $8,453,000 (before deducting certain underwriting discount and fees), part of which was placed
in the Trust Account. On October 21, 2022, simultaneously with the consummation of the Overallotment Offering, we completed the Overallotment
Private Placement of additional 31,500 units pursuant to the Unit Private Placement Agreement dated October 14, 2022 by and between us
and our Sponsor, in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00
per Overallotment Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $315,000, a portion of which was placed in the Trust Account.
For
a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Defaults Upon
Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety
Disclosures
None.
