LAKESHORE ACQUISITION I CORP.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations
Organization and General
Lakeshore Acquisition I Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Cayman Islands on January 6, 2021 as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not generated revenue. All activities for the period from January 6, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2022 relate to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “IPO”) described below and its effort in seeking a target business. The Company will not generate any operating revenue until after 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 IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year-end.
The Company’s sponsor is RedOne Investment Limited, a BVI limited liability company (the “sponsor”).
On May 3, 2022, LAAA Merger Corp. was incorporated under Delaware law as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and LAAA Merger Sub Inc. was incorporated under Delaware law as a wholly owned subsidiary of LAAA Merger Corp. Both of these two companies were incorporated for the purpose of effecting its initial business combination and will not have any activities before the closing of the business combination (as described below in “Business Combination” in Note 1).
Financing
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO (as described in Note 3) was declared effective on June 10, 2021. On June 15, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of

Act of 1940, as amended, until the earlier of the consummation of its first business combination and the Company’s failure to consummate a business combination within 15 months from the consummation of the IPO.
Placing funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such agreements.
In addition, interest income earned on the funds in the Trust Account may be released to the Company to pay its income or other tax obligations. With these exceptions, expenses incurred by the Company may be paid prior to a business combination only from the net proceeds of the IPO and private placement not held in the Trust Account.
Business Combination
Pursuant to Nasdaq listing rules, the Company’s initial business combination must occur with one or more target businesses having an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the funds in the Trust Account (excluding any taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account), which the Company refers to as the 80% test, at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial business combination, although the Company may structure a business combination with one or more target businesses whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the Trust Account balance. If the Company is no longer listed on Nasdaq, it will not be required to satisfy the 80% test.
The Company currently anticipates structuring a business combination to acquire
The Company will either seek shareholder approval of any business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to convert their shares into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid, or provide shareholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid.
The Company will proceed with a business combination only if it will have net tangible assets of at least $
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the ordinary shares sold in this offering without the Company’s prior written consent.
In connection with any shareholder vote required to approve any business combination, the Company’s sponsor, the hedge funds and the representatives of underwriters and certain of their affiliates (collectively, “initial shareholders”) will agree (i) to vote any of their respective shares in favor of the initial business combination and (ii) not to convert such respective shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account or seek to sell their shares in connection with any tender offer the Company engages in.
On May 9, 2022, The Company entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with certain parties aiming to acquire
6
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the business combination will be effected in two steps: (i) the Company will reincorporate to the State or Delaware by merging with and into LAAA Merger Corp. (“PubCo”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and a Delaware corporation, with PubCo surviving as the publicly traded entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”); and (ii) immediately after the Reincorporation Merger, LAAA Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo and also a Delaware corporation, will merge with and into ProSomnus, with ProSomnus surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Acquisition Merger”).
Upon closing of the Acquisition Merger, PubCo will acquire

On June 29, 2022, LAAA Merger Corp., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, filed a Form S-4 containing the registration statement with respect to the proposed merger with ProSomnus.
Liquidation
Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, if the Company is unable to complete its initial business combination within 15 months from the date of the IPO, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the initial shareholders or affiliates of the initial shareholders 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). To date, there were no amounts outstanding under any working capital loans.
Going Concern
The Company performed an assessment on its ability to continue as a going concern 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”. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate the initial business combination within 15 months from the date of the IPO. In the event that the Company fails to consummate business combination within the required period, the Company will face mandatory liquidation and dissolution subject to certain obligations under applicable laws or regulations. This uncertainty raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability as a going concern one year from the date the financial statement is issued. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities regarding the possibility of the Company not continuing as a going concern, as a result of failing to consummate business combination within 15 months from the date of the IPO. Management plans to continue its efforts to consummate a business combination within 15 months from the date of the IPO.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any future period.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 31, 2022.
Principals of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries where the Company has the ability to exercise control. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging Growth Company
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) permits emerging growth companies to delay complying with new or revised financial accounting standards that do not yet apply to 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). 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 an 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 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.

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. There were
Marketable Securities Held in the Trust Account
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. (See Note 6).
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares 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) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s public shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. 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 or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $
Offering Costs Associated with the IPO
Offering costs consist underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO. As of June 30, 2022, offering costs associated with the IPO totaled $
Other Current Assets
Other current assets relate to an aggregate amount of $
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution that at times may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage of $
Net Income (Loss) per Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less interest income in trust account less any dividends paid. The company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.
The net income (loss) per share presented in the condensed consolidated statement of operations is based on the following:

Warrants
The Company evaluates the public and private warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrants’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and
11
Hedging (“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 ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. Pursuant to such evaluation, both public and private warrants are classified in shareholders’ equity.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under 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 period, disclosure and transition. The Company has identified Cayman Islands as its only “major” tax jurisdiction, as defined. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on January 6, 2021, the evaluation was performed for the period ended December 31, 2021 and the upcoming 2022 tax year. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to its financial position. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.
The Company may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with foreign tax laws.
The Company’s tax provision was
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 January 1, 2024 for smaller reporting companies and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021.

Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
14
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Risks and Uncertainties
Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of this financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
References to “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” are to Lakeshore Acquisition I Corp., except where the context requires otherwise. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filings.
Overview
We were formed on January 6, 2021 for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to any particular industry or geographic region. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the “IPO”) in effecting our initial business combination.
We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
We presently have no revenue. All activities for the period from January 6, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2022 relate to the formation and the IPO and seeking of a target business. We will have no operations other than the active solicitation of a target business with which to complete a business combination, and we will not generate any operating revenue until after its initial business combination, at the earliest. We will have non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO.
On June 15, 2021, we consummated the IPO of 5,000,000 Public Units, at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of 250,000 Private Units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, in a private placement to the sponsor, hedge funds and the representatives of underwriters and certain of their affiliates, generating gross proceeds of $2,500,000.
On June 28, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 467,000 Public Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $4,670,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option, we sold additional 11,675 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit to the above-mentioned purchasers in a private placement, generating gross proceeds to us of $116,750.
Upon the consummation of the IPO and the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and associated private placements, $54,670,000 of cash was placed in the Trust Account.
As indicated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as of June 30, 2022, we had $131,427 in cash held outside its Trust Account available for the working capital purposes.
We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our Initial Business Combination will be successful. If we are unable to complete its initial business combination within 15 months from the date of the IPO, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining holders of ordinary shares and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the founder shares and Private Units
17
will not participate in any redemption distribution with respect to their founder shares or Private Units, until all of the claims of any redeeming shareholders and creditors are fully satisfied (and then only from funds held outside the Trust Account).
Recent Developments
On May 9, 2022, The Company entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) aiming to acquire 100% of the equity securities of ProSomnus Holdings Inc. (ProSomnus).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the business combination will be effected in two steps: (i) the Company will reincorporate to the State or Delaware by merging with and into LAAA Merger Corp. (“PubCo”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and a Delaware corporation, with PubCo surviving as the publicly traded entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”); and (ii) immediately after the Reincorporation Merger, LAAA Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo and also a Delaware corporation, will merge with and into ProSomnus, with ProSomnus surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Acquisition Merger”).
Upon closing of the Acquisition Merger, PubCo will acquire 100% of the equity securities of ProSomnus. In exchange, the stockholders of ProSomnus will receive an aggregate number of shares of PubCo Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”) with an aggregate value equal to $113,000,000 minus the amount by which the Closing Net Indebtedness (as defined in the Merger Agreement) exceeds $12,000,000.
Additionally, the Company will make available to ProSomnus no less than $40,000,000, prior to the payment of expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination and any outstanding debt of ProSomnus, in cash and cash equivalents (the “Minimum Cash Amounts”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, an aggregate of $10,000,000 will be from equity investors, by (i) waiving their rights of redeeming public shares and (ii) purchasing the company’s ordinary shares at $10.00 per share, or the combination of (i) and (ii); An aggregate of $30,000,000 will be from certain convertible notes investors by purchasing convertible notes of PubCo.
Additionally, the ProSomnus Stockholders may be entitled to receive up to 3.0 million earn-out shares in three tranches:
| ● | the first tranche of 1.0 million earn-out shares will be issued when the volume-weighted average price per share of PubCo Common Stock is $12.50 or greater for 20 trading days in any consecutive 30 trading day period commencing 6 months after the Closing and ending at the third anniversary of the Closing; |
| ● | the second tranche of 1.0 million earn-out shares will be issued when the volume-weighted average price per share of PubCo Common Stock is $15.00 or greater for 20 trading days in any consecutive 30 trading day period commencing 6 months after the Closing and ending at the third anniversary of the Closing; and |
| ● | the third tranche of 1.0 million earn-out shares will be issued when the volume-weighted average price per share of PubCo Common Stock is $17.50 or greater for 20 trading days in any consecutive 30 trading day period commencing 6 months after the Closing and ending at the third anniversary of the Closing. |
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity from January 6, 2021 (inception) up to the consummation of the IPO was in preparation for the IPO. Since the IPO, our activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination. We expect to generate small amounts of non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account. We will 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, 2022, we had a net loss of $149,902. We earned $79,331 of interest income from investments in our Trust Account and incurred $229,233 of general and administrative expenses.
18
For the period from January 6, 2021 (inception) to June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $56,558, which consisted of $56,664 in formation, general and administrative expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, we had $131,427 in cash held outside its Trust Account available for our working capital purposes.
Prior to the consummation of the IPO, our liquidity needs had been satisfied through a payment from the sponsor of $25,000 for the founder shares, the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the sponsor of $450,000. The promissory note from the sponsor was repaid in full on June 14, 2021.
Upon the consummation of the IPO on June 15, 2021 and the closing of the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option on June 28, 2021, and associated private placements, $54,670,000 of cash was placed in the Trust Account. As of June 30, 2022, an aggregate of $54,751,296 was held in the Trust Account in money market funds that invest in cash, U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and other obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Treasury.
In order to meet our working capital needs following the consummation of the IPO, our initial shareholders, officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Each working capital loan would be evidenced by a promissory note and would either be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $500,000 of the working capital loan may be converted upon consummation of our business combination into additional Private Units at a price of $10.00 per unit. If we do not complete a business combination, the working capital loan will only be repaid with funds not held in the Trust Account and only to the extent available.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we 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.
If our estimates of the costs of undertaking due diligence and negotiating our 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 consummate our initial business combination or because we become obligated to convert 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 business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of our initial business combination. Following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
The Company performed an assessment on its ability to continue as a going concern 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”. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate the initial business combination within 15 months from the date of the IPO. In the event that the Company fails to consummate business combination within the required period, the Company will face mandatory liquidation and dissolution subject to certain obligations under applicable laws or regulations. This uncertainty raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability as a going concern one year from the date the financial statement is issued. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities regarding the possibility of the Company not continuing as a going concern, as a result of failing to consummate business combination within 15 months from the date of the IPO. Management plans to continue its efforts to consummate a business combination within 15 months from the date of the IPO.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering Costs Associated with the IPO
Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the IPO. As of June 30, 2022, offering costs associated with the IPO totaled $1,862,538. The amount was consisted of $1,366,750 in underwriters’ fees, plus $495,788 of other expenses. The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering”. The Company allocates offering costs between public shares and public warrants based on the estimated fair values of public shares and public warrants at the date of issuance. Accordingly, $1,780,148 was allocated to public shares and was charged to temporary equity, and $ 82,390 was allocated to public warrants and was charged to shareholders’ equity.
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares 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) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. 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 or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $10.01 per share and $10.00 per share respectively as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. We then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders.
As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented. The calculation of diluted loss per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the IPO and the private placement since the exercise of warrants are contingent on the occurrence of future events.
Warrants
The Company evaluates the public and private warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrants’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“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 ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. Pursuant to such evaluation, both public and private warrants are classified in shareholders’ equity.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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
20
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 January 1, 2024 for smaller reporting companies and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the pronouncement will have on the financial statements.
Except for the foregoing, Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2022. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
Business Combination Marketing Agreement
We have entered into Business Combination Marketing Agreement with representative of our underwriters, and agreed to pay a fee totaling $1,640,100, which equals 3% of the gross offering proceeds, payable upon the completion of the business combination. The fee will become payable from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event we complete our initial business combination. In the event that we do not close a business combination, the representative underwriter has agreed to waive its right to receive the fee.
Registration Rights
The initial shareholders will be entitled to registration rights with respect to their initial shares, as well as the holders of the Private Units and holders of any securities issued to our initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates in payment of working capital loans or extension loans made to us, will be entitled to registration rights with respect to the Private Units (and underlying securities), pursuant to an agreement signed on the effective date of the IPO. The holders of such securities are entitled to demand that we register these securities at any time after we consummate a business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed after our consummation of a business combination.
