NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1 — Organization and Business Operations
TG
Venture Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a newly organized, blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation
on February 8, 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 (the “Business Combination”).
As
of March 31, 2022, the Company
had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 8, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2022 relates
to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering described below. The Company will not generate any operating
revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating
income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering
(the “IPO”).
The
Company’s sponsor is Tsangs Group Holdings Limited (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s
IPO was declared effective on November 2, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On November 5, 2021, the Company consummated
the IPO of 11,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Common stock included in the Units being offered,
the “Public Shares” and the warrants included in the Units being offered, the “Public Warrants”) at $10.00
per Unit, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment of 1,500,000 Units, generating gross proceeds
to the Company of $115,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3.
Simultaneously
with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement of 5,500,000 Warrants (the “Private Placement
Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of
$5,500,000, which is described in Note 4.
Transaction
costs amounted to $3,040,822 consisting of $1,150,000 of underwriting commissions, $575,000 of fair value of the Units issued
to ThinkEquity LLC (“ThinkEquity”), the representative of the underwriters (see Note 6), $579,110 of fair value of
the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) sold to advisors in excess of proceeds (see Note 5), and $736,712 of other offering
costs, and was all charged to stockholders’ equity.
While
the Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the cash held outside of the Trust
Account (as hereinafter defined), substantially all of the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private
Placement Warrants, which are placed in the Trust Account, are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination.
The Company’s Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal
to at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the taxes payable on the interest earned on the
Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However,
the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of
the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not
to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment
Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
Following
the closing of the IPO on November 5, 2021, $117,300,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of Units in the IPO
and a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were deposited into a trust account (the “Trust
Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and are invested
only in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under
Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect
to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income
tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private
Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of: (a) the completion of the initial Business
Combination; (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation: (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to
allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or certain amendments to the Company’s charter prior
thereto or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within 18 months
from the closing of this offering May 5, 2023; or (ii) with respect to any other provision
relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity; and (c) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares
if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the required time frame (subject to the requirements
of applicable law).
Public
stockholders have the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business
Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on
deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to voting on the initial Business Combination, including interest earned
on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes, divided
by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account
is initially anticipated to be $10.20 per public share.
The
Company will only proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 immediately
prior to or upon the consummation of such Business Combination, and, if the Company seeks public stockholder approval, a majority
of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by applicable law or
stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons,
the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender
offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC
prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law
or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, the
Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the
tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed
to vote its Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a
Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting, and if they
do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.
The Company
has 18 months from the closing of the IPO until May 5, 2023 to complete the initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”).
If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will: (i) cease all operations
except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to
lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount 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 its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares,
which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further
liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption,
subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject
in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and
the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants,
which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The
initial stockholders, Sponsor, executive officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant
to which they have agreed to (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares if we are forced to liquidate;
(ii) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder
vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of
incorporation: (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with
the Company’s initial Business Combination or certain amendments to the charter prior thereto or to redeem 100% of the Company’s
Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combined Period or (B) with respect
to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; and (iii) to waive
their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to
complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions
from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination
within the Combination Period; (iv) the Founder Shares are shares of the Company’s Class B common stock that will automatically
convert into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business Combination, on a one-for-one
basis, subject to adjustment as described herein, and (v) are entitled to registration rights. If the Company submits the initial
Business Combination to the public stockholders for a vote, the initial stockholders, officers and directors have agreed pursuant
to the letter agreement to vote any shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after this offering (including
in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination.
The
Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered
or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of
intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account
to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per Public Share; and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of
the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets,
less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business
who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable)
nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification
obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations
and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company
cannot assent that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will
indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
The
Company’s liquidity needs up to March 31, 2022 had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 (see Note
5) for the Founder Shares and the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of up to $400,000 (see Note 5). As
of March 31, 2022, the Company had $344,087 in its operating bank account and working capital of $651,807. As of December 31,
2021, the Company had $664,626 in its operating bank account, and working capital of $825,580.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs
in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s
officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans, as defined below (see Note 5) and proceeds
outside of the Trust account and Private Placement Warrants. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding
under any Working Capital Loans.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that the
Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business
Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable,
identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses,
paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating
the Business Combination.
In connection with the Company’s assessment
of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined
that the date for mandatory liquidation and dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern through May 5, 2023, the scheduled liquidation date of the Company if it does not complete a Business Combination prior to such
date.
Risks
and Uncertainties
Management
is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus
could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position and/or search for a target company, the specific impact
is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note
2 — 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 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 Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022, which contains the audited financial statements and notes
thereto. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future interim periods.
Emerging
Growth Company Status
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various
reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not
limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 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 approval of any golden parachute payments not
previously approved.
Further,
Section102 (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
financial statement with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which
has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting
standards used.
Use
of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial
statements in conformity with US GAAP requires 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 unaudited condensed financial statements. Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. 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 unaudited condensed financial statements, 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. The significant accounting estimate reflected in the Company’s financial
statements includes, but is not limited to, valuation of Founder Shares.
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 had cash of $344,087 and $664,626 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company did not
have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Investments Held in Trust Account
On March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the assets
held in the Trust Account consist of United States Treasury securities. The Company classifies its United States Treasury securities as
held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB 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 and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. During the three months ended March 31, 2022
and the period from February 8, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the Company did not withdraw any of the interest income from
the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations.
A decline in the market value of held-to-maturity
securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in an impairment that reduces the carrying costs to such securities’
fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment
is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery
and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered
in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and the duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent
to year-end, forecasted performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry in which the
investee operates.
Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over
the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Such amortization and
accretion are included in the “interest income” line item in the statement of operations. Interest income is recognized when
earned.
The carrying value, excluding
gross unrealized holding loss and fair value of held to maturity securities on March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows:

Deferred
Offering Costs
The
Company complies with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs”. Deferred offering costs consists of legal, accounting,
underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Public Offering. Offering
costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments to be issued in the IPO based on a relative fair value basis, compared
to total proceeds received. Upon closing of the IPO on November 5, 2021, offering costs associated with the Class A common stock
and the warrants were charged to stockholders’ equity. Upon the IPO on November 5, 2021 offering costs amounted to $3,040,822,
all of which was allocated to stockholders’ equity.
Share
Based Compensation
The
Company complies with ASC 718 Compensation- Stock Compensation, regarding interests in founder shares acquired by directors and
advisors of the Company as compensation. The interests in the founder shares vested upon the Company completing the initial public
offering and compensation expense has been recorded accordingly at that date based upon the initial grant date fair value. The
determination of the fair value of the share-based compensation awards represents a significant estimate within the financial
statements. The fair value is based upon a Monte Carlo valuation that considers the probability of an initial public offering,
business combination and other risk factors.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to
its 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. 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. |
Common
stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The
Company will account for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480
“Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a
liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including shares of common stock that
feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain
events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified
as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Common stock will feature certain redemption rights that are considered to
be outside of the Company’s control and will be subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common
stock subject to possible redemption will be presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’
equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.
The
Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A common
stock subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view
the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Effective with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges
against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.
The
Class A common stock subject to possible redemption reflected on the balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021
is reconciled in the following table:

Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify
as embedded derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”).
Derivative instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes
in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in the balance sheet
as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within
12 months of the balance sheet date.
Warrants
The
Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s
specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC
480”) and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC
480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity
classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether
the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s
control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as
of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
ASC 480-10-S99,
addresses concerns raised by the SEC regarding the financial statement classification and measurement of securities subject to
mandatory redemption requirements or whose redemption is outside the control of the issuer. If the stock subject to mandatory
redemptions provisions represents the only shares in the reporting entity, it must report instruments in the liabilities section
of its statement of financial position. The stock subject must then describe them as shares subject to mandatory redemption, so
as to distinguish the instruments from other financial statement liabilities. The Company concludes that the Company’s warrants
defined in Note 7 do not exhibit any of the above characteristics and, therefore, are outside the scope of ASC 480.
For
issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded
as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all of
the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance,
and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company accounts for the 11,500,000 Public Warrants (Note 3) and 5,500,000 Private
Placement Warrants (Note 4) as equity-classified instruments.
Net
Loss Per Common Share
The
Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net loss
per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Earnings and losses
are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The Company had not considered the effect of the Private Placement to purchase
an aggregate of 5,500,000 of our Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since their exercise is contingent
upon future events. As a result, diluted net loss per common stock is the same as basic net loss per common stock. The table below
presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share for each class
of common stock.

Basic
and diluted net loss per share for Class A common stock and for Class B common stock is calculated as follows:

Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement
and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry
forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a
portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC
740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not
to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest
and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties
related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for
interest and penalties as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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 has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income tax
examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of
deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s
management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution
which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. At March 31, 2022 and December 31,
2021, the Company had not experienced losses on this account.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “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”), which simplifies the
accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models that separate the embedded conversion features
from the host contract for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 allows for a modified or full retrospective method of transition.
This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early
adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06 upon its incorporation. The impact to our financial statements was
not material.
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 statements.

3 — Initial Public Offering
On
November 5, 2021, the Company sold 11,500,000 Units, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option
to purchase 1,500,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each unit consists of one Public Share, an aggregate of 11,500,000
Public Shares, and one redeemable Public Warrant, an aggregate of 11,500,000 Public Warrants. Each Public Warrant entitles the
holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note
7).
Note
4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously
with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,500,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per
warrant in a private placement, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,500,000. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder
thereof to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments
(see Note 7), and will expire worthless if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination.
The
Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants except that they will not be transferable, assignable or saleable
until 30 days after the Business Combination except to certain permitted transferees.
Note
5 — Related Party Transactions
Founder
Shares
In
2021, the Sponsor and other founders (the “Initial Stockholder”) paid $ in exchange for shares of
Common stock (the “Founder Shares”). The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation
that the total size of the IPO would be a maximum of 11,500,000 Units if the underwriter’s over-allotment option was exercised
in full, and therefore that such Founder Shares represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the IPO.
Two
of the initial stockholders, TriPoint Capital Management, LLC (“TriPoint”), a Delaware limited liability company,
and HFI Limited (“HFI”), a Cayman Islands company, serve in an advisory capacity to the Sponsor with the Company being
a primary beneficiary, and their participation in the purchase of Founder Shares is considered as part of their compensation as
advisors. Accordingly, upon consummation of the IPO on November 5, 2021, the Company recorded the excess fair value above the
purchase price of the 300,000 Founder Shares purchased by TriPoint and HFI as an offering cost of $579,110, which were charged
to stockholders’ equity.
On
November 2, 2021, the Sponsor entered into an Agreement with the (see Note 8).
The
Initial Stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A)
six months after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x)
if the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends,
reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least
150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital
stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the
right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property, except with respect to permitted transferees.
Promissory
Note — Related Party
The
Sponsor issued a promissory note allowing the Company to borrow up to $400,000 under an unsecured promissory note to be used
for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. The Company had borrowed $227,690 under the promissory note. At December 31, 2021,
the Company fully repaid the outstanding promissory note. At March 31, 2022, the Company did not have any outstanding promissory
notes.
Working
Capital Loans
Our sponsor has committed that they are willing and
able to provide the Company with any additional funds it needs to carry out its operations. In order to finance transaction costs
in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s
officers and directors have committed to loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”).
If the Company completes an initial Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust
Account released to the Company. Otherwise, such loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event
that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account
to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $3,000,000 of
such loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post Business Combination entity, at a price of $1.00 per warrant
at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor. As of March 31,
2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
Administrative
Service Fee
The
Company entered into an administrative services agreement on November 2, 2021, pursuant to which the Company will pay an affiliate
of the Sponsor, $445 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the
initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. Total expense
under the administrative services agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and for the period from February 8, 2021
(inception) through March 31, 2021 were $1,335 and $0, respectively.
Note
6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Registration
Rights
The
holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans
(and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be
issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights
pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the Effective Date of the registration statement of which
this prospectus forms a part, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares,
only after conversion to the Class A common stock). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands,
excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back”
registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the initial
Business Combination.
Underwriting
Agreement
On
November 5, 2021, the Company paid a cash underwriting discount of 1.0% per Unit, or $1,150,000. In addition, the underwriting
agreement provides the option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments, if any, at the Proposed
Public Offering price of $10.00 less the underwriting discount of 1%. The over-allotment was exercised in full upon the IPO on
November 5, 2021.
Representative
Units
Simultaneous
with the closing of the IPO, the Company issued to ThinkEquity, as part of representative compensation upon the consummation of
the IPO, 57,500 Representative Units (the “Representative Units”). The Representative Units consist of one share of
Class A common stock and one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share,
subject to adjustment. The Representative Units are identical to the Units except, and so long as the Representative Units are
held by ThinkEquity (and/or its designees) or its permitted transferees, they (i) may not (including the Class A common stock
issuable upon exercise of the warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders
until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis,
(iii) will be entitled to registration rights and (iv) will not be exercisable more than five years from the Effective Date of
the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(i). ThinkEquity has
agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to the warrants underlying the Representative Units in connection with
the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account
with respect to such warrants if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing
of the IPO.

7 — Stockholder’s Equity
Preferred
Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class
A Common stock — The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value
of $0.0001 per share. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 57,500 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding
(excluding 11,500,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption).
Class
B Common stock — The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of
$0.0001 per share. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 2,889,149 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.
The
shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of the Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business
Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations,
and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
Warrants
– At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 5,500,000 Private Placement Warrants are
currently outstanding. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a
price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares
of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial
Business Combination at a Newly Issued Price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective
issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its
affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or its affiliates, prior to such issuance), (y)
the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available
for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of
redemptions), and (z) The Market Value (defined as the volume weighted average reported trading price of Class A Common Stock
for twenty trading days starting on the trading day prior to the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination)
is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the
greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will
be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
Each
warrant is exercisable at any time commencing on the later of 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination
and 12 months from the closing of the IPO and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the earlier to occur of (i) the
date that is five (5) years after the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination, (ii) at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time on the Redemption Date as provided in the Warrant Agreement and (iii) the liquidation of the Trust Account (the “Expiration
Date”). The Company in its sole discretion may extend the duration of the Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date; provided,
however, that the Company will provide at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of any such extension to registered
holders and, provided further that any such extension shall be applied consistently to all of the Warrants. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, for so long as any Private Warrant is held by the Sponsor and/or their designees, such Private
Warrant may not be exercised after five years from the Effective Date of the Registration Statement. The warrants will expire
at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the warrant expiration date, which is five years after the completion of the initial Business
Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. On the exercise of any warrant, the warrant exercise price will be paid
directly to the Company and not placed in the Trust Account.
The
Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have
no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares
of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the
Company’s satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the
Company will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable
upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence
of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not
satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant
may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event
that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a Unit containing such warrant will
have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the share of Class A common stock underlying such Unit.
The
Company is not registering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. However, the
Company has agreed that as soon as practicable after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its
best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise
of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those
shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration
statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within 60 business
days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration
statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants
on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.
Redemption
of warrants:
Once
the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:
|
● |
In whole and not in part; |
|
|
|
|
● |
at a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
|
|
|
|
● |
upon not less than 30 days’ prior
written notice of redemption given after the warrants become exercisable to each warrant holder; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
if, and only if, the last sale price
of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior
to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
If
the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the management will have the option to require all holders that
wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise
their warrants on a “cashless basis,” the management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number
of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on the stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class
A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering
the warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the
number of shares of Class A 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”
shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading
day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. If the Company’s management
takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares
of Class A common stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case.
Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect
of a warrant redemption.

8 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred
after the balance sheet date up to the date the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Except as disclosed in the footnotes
elsewhere and below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited
condensed financial statements.
