NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
Hainan
Manaslu Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September
10, 2021, and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar
business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). While the Company may pursue an acquisition
opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, the Company intends to focus on industries that complement the
management team’s background, and to capitalize on the ability of the management team and advisor to identify and acquire a business.
However, the Company will not consummate its initial Business Combination with an entity or business with China operations consolidated
through a variable interest entity (“VIE”) structure.
The
Company is an early stage company and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with
early stage companies and emerging growth companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
As
of March 31, 2023, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activities through August 15, 2022 relate to the Company’s
formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”). Since the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s
activity has been limited to the negotiation and consummation of the proposed business combination with Able View Inc.
The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion
of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the funds deposited
in the Trust Account (as defined below).
The
registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 10, 2022. On August 15, 2022,
the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 6,900,000 units (the “Public Units”), which includes 900,000 Public
Units upon the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of
$69,000,000 to the Company, which is described in Note 4.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 341,500 units (the “Private Placement Units”)
at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to Bright Winlong LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating
gross proceeds of $3,415,000 to the Company, which is described in Note 5.
Transaction
costs amounted to $4,258,182, consisting of $1,380,000 of underwriting commissions, $2,242,500 of deferred underwriting commissions and
$635,682 of other offering costs. In addition, cash of $306,586 that was held in of the Trust Account as of August 15, 2022 and transferred
to the company’s operating account on August 16, 2022 is available for the payment of offering costs and for working capital purposes.
Among the net proceeds of $70,341,586 from the Initial Public Offering and the private placement, $70,035,000 was transferred to the
Trust Account and $306,586 was transferred to the Company’s operating bank account upon closing of the Initial Public Offering.
The
aggregate amount of $70,035,000 ($10.15 per Public Unit) held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) established for the benefit
of the Company’s public shareholders and maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, will
be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in
U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment
Company Act”). Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company
to pay its taxes, if any, the funds in the Trust Account will not be released until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s
initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares (as defined below) properly tendered in connection with a shareholder
vote to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to (A) modify the substance or timing of
the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination
within nine months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or up to 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering
if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to
shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (iii) the redemption of all of the Company’s public shares
if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within nine months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering
(or up to 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business
Combination), subject to applicable law.
The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
and sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating
a Business Combination. Nasdaq rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have
a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable
on interest earned) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. 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. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
The
Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of a
Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means
of a tender offer. In connection with an Initial Business Combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination
at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against
a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001
after payment of the deferred underwriting commissions, either immediately prior to, or upon such consummation of, or any greater net
tangible asset or cash requirement that may be contained in the agreement relating to, such Business Combination.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the
tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder,
together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group”
(as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted
from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the public shares without the Company’s prior written consent.
If
a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the
Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender
offer rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing
substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
The
shareholders will be entitled to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially
$10.15 per public share, subject to increase of up to an additional $0.033 per public share per month in the event that the Sponsor elects
to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination (see below), plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in
the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to shareholders
who redeem their public shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter (as
discussed in Note 10). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s
rights or warrants. The ordinary shares will be recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of
the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
The
Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001, after payment of the
deferred underwriting commissions, either immediately prior to, or upon such consummation of, or any greater net tangible asset or cash
requirement that may be contained in the agreement relating to, such Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval,
a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required and
the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended
and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender
offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing
a Business Combination.
The
Sponsor and any of the Company’s officers or directors that may hold Founder Shares (as defined in Note 6) (the “initial
shareholders”) are identical to the ordinary shares included in the Public Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering except
that the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below: the initial shareholders have
entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect
to their Founder Shares, private placement shares (as defined below) and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial
Business Combination, (ii) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares, private placement shares and public shares
held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association
(A) to modify the substance or timing of obligation to provide for the redemption of public shares in connection with an initial Business
Combination or to redeem 100% of public shares if the Company has not consummated the initial Business Combination within the timeframe
set forth therein or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ 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 and
private placement shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within nine months from the closing of the
Initial Public Offering (or up to 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time
to consummate a Business Combination) (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 prescribed time frame).
The
Company will have until June 14, 2023 initially to consummate a Business Combination. However, if the Company anticipates that it may
not be able to consummate a Business Combination within nine months, the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business
Combination up to nine times, each by an additional month each time, for a total of 18 months to complete a Business Combination (the
“Combination Period”). In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor
or its affiliates or designees must deposit into the Trust Account $227,700 (approximately $0.033 per public share), on or prior to the
date of the applicable deadline, for each one month extension. Any funds which may be provided to extend the time frame will be in the
form of a loan to the Company from the Sponsor. Such notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial Business Combination
or at the lender’s discretion, converted upon consummation of our Business Combination into additional Company’s units at
a price of $10.00 per unit. On May 5, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in an amount of $227,700 to Able View Inc.,
pursuant to which such amount had been deposited into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of available time to complete a
business combination until June 14, 2023. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the note payable balance were $0 and $0,
respectively.
If the Company is unable to complete a 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, redeem 100% of the outstanding 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 (net of taxes payable and
less interest to pay dissolution expenses up to $60,000), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will
completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions,
if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of
the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal
dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable
law. The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the
Company does not complete a Business Combination within the combination period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with
the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the public shares. In the event of such distribution,
it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering
price of $10.00 per Public Unit.
The
Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products
sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce
the amounts in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.15 per share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account
as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, except as to any claims by
a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s
indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against
a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek
to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have
all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements
with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Business
Combination Agreement
On
November 21, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”)
with Able View Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Able View”), Able View Global Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company
and wholly owned subsidiary of Able View (“Pubco”), Able View Corporation Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly
owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”), and each of the shareholders of Able View (collectively, the “Sellers”).
Under the Business Combination Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid to the Sellers is $400,000,000 (the “Exchange
Consideration”), which will be paid entirely in shares comprised of newly issued ordinary shares of Pubco, par value $0.0001 per
share (“Pubco Ordinary Shares”), with each share valued at an amount equal to (a) (i) the Exchange Consideration, divided
by (ii) the total number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Able View, divided by (b) the price at which each Company ordinary
share (or after the Merger, each Pubco Ordinary Share) held by the Company’s public shareholders is redeemed or converted in connection
with the Transactions pursuant to the provisions of Company’s organizational documents (the “Redemption”).
In
addition to the Exchange Consideration, the Sellers will have the contingent right to receive to an aggregate of 3,200,000 additional
Pubco Ordinary Shares as earnout consideration after the Closing as follows: (i) an aggregate of 1,600,000 additional Pubco Ordinary
Shares will be issued to the Sellers in the event that Pubco reports net revenue in its audited financial statements for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2023 equal to or in excess of $170,000,000, and (ii) an aggregate of 1,600,000 additional Pubco Ordinary Shares will
be issued to the Sellers in the event that Pubco reports net revenue in its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2024 equal to or in excess of $200,000,000.
Going
Concern Consideration
The
Company initially had nine months from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering to consummate the initial Business Combination.
If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within nine months from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company
will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles
of Association. As a result, this has the same effect as if the Company had formally gone through a voluntary liquidation procedure under
the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands. Accordingly, no vote would be required from our shareholders to commence such a
voluntary winding up, dissolution and liquidation. However, As of the date of this report, the Company has extended one time by an additional
one month each time (for a total of up to 18 months from the consummation of the Public Offering to complete a business combination),
and so it now has until June 14, 2023 to consummate a business combination. The
Company will, as promptly as possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Company’s outstanding public
shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds
held in the Trust Account and not necessary to pay taxes, and then seek to liquidate and dissolve. However, the Company may not be able
to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.
In the event of dissolution and liquidation, the Company’s warrants and rights will expire and will be worthless.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash of
$9,194 and a working capital deficit of $44,875. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs
to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination.
Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may
be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations,
suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing
will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern if a Business Combination is not consummated by June 14, 2023 (unless further extended). These
unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification
of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Risks
and Uncertainties
Management
has evaluated 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 future financial position and/or search for a target company, there has been a significant
impact as of the date of the unaudited condensed financial statement. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the future outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE
2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The interim financial information provided is unaudited, but
includes all adjustments which management considers necessary for the fair presentation of the results for these periods. Operating results
for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2023. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis,
and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.
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 independent registered public accounting firm 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 shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously
approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do
not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of
such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public
or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another
public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition
period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
In
preparing these unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes 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 and the reported expenses during the reporting period.
Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of
a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the 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, actual
results may differ from these estimates.
| ● | Cash and cash equivalent |
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The
amount represented the cash maintained in bank account that was not available to the Company for immediate or general business use.
| ● | Investments held in Trust Account |
At
March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds, which
are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. These securities are presented on the Balance Sheets at fair value at the end of
each reporting period. Earnings on these securities is included in dividend income in the accompanying Statement of Operations and is
automatically reinvested. The fair value for these securities is determined using quoted market prices in active markets.
Income
taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income
in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC
740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their unaudited condensed
financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially
be recognized in the unaudited condensed financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination
by the tax authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were
no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 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 management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change
over the next twelve months.
The
Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently
not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s
tax provision was zero for the periods presented.
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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) 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 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, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly
period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
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 equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants
are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter.
Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
As
the warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering and private placement meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 480 and
ASC 815, therefore, the warrants are classified as equity.
| ● | Ordinary share subject to possible redemption |
The
Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Ordinary shares subject
to mandatory redemption 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. Accordingly, as of
March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 6,900,000 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary
equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheets.
The
Company has made a policy election in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A and recognizes changes in redemption value in accumulated deficit
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. Such changes are reflected in additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals
to zero. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an accretion of $757,326 in accumulated deficit. For the three
months ended March 31, 2022, the Company did not record an accretion in accumulated deficit.
| ● | Fair value of financial instruments |
The
fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets,
primarily due to their short-term nature.
The
fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
Level
1 — |
Valuations
based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and
regularly available in an active market, the valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment. |
|
|
Level
2 — |
Valuations
based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active
for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived
principally from or corroborated by the market through correlation or other means. |
|
|
Level
3 — |
Valuations
based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
The
fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the unaudited condensed balance sheet.
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, and other current assets, accrued expenses, due to the sponsor are estimated to approximate
the carrying values as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to the short maturities of such instruments.
| ● | Net income (loss) per share |
The
Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 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 ordinary shares and non-redeemable ordinary shares and the undistributed loss is calculated
using the total net income (loss) 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 ordinary 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 March 31, 2023, the Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering to
purchase an aggregate of 6,900,000 shares in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants
is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive and the Company did not
have any other dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary share and then
share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the
periods presented.
The
net income (loss) per share presented in the statements of
operations is based on the following:
| |
Three Months ended March 31, 2023 | | |
Three Months ended March 31, 2022 | |
Net income (loss) | |
$ | 561,565 | | |

Parties,
which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control
the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also
considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
| ● | 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.
The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such
account.
| ● | Recent accounting pronouncements |
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s
Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required
under current U.S. GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify
for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted
ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. There are no other ASUs being adopted.
Other
than the above, there are no other recently issued accounting standards which are applicable to the Company.

NOTE
6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder
Shares
In
September 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,725,000 founder shares (“Founder Shares”) to the Sponsor, so that the
Sponsor owns 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering, for an aggregate purchase price
of $25,000.
Promissory
Note — Related Party
On
September 24, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an
aggregate principal amount of $300,000, which was amended and restated on March 14, 2022 (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory
Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2022 or consummation of the Initial Public Offering.
On March 21, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor in
the aggregate principal amount up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “Note”) in exchange for Sponsor
delivering such amount into the Company’s working capital account in order to meet the working capital needs of the Company. The
Note does not bear interest and matures on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2023 or (ii) the closing of a business combination by the
Company.
As
of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Sponsor advanced the Company an aggregate amount of $15,450 and $0, respectively.
Related
Party Working Capital Loans
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of
the Company’s directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital
Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds
of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the
Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust
Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.
Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with
respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest,
or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit. As
of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have outstanding balance on related party working capital loans.
Advances
from a Related Party
As
of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had a temporary advance of $3,003 and $3,003 from a related party for the payment
of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, respectively. The balance is unsecured, interest-free and has no fixed terms of repayment.
NOTE
7 – SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Ordinary
shares
The
Company is authorized to issue 55,000,000 ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the ordinary shares are
entitled to one vote for each ordinary share.
As
of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 2,066,500 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 6,900,000 ordinary shares
subject to possible redemption.
Preference
shares
The
Company is authorized to issue 500,000 preference shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31,
2022, no preference share was issued.
Rights
Each
holder of a right will receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder
of such right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon exchange
of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional shares
upon consummation of a Business Combination as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Public Unit purchase price
paid for by investors in the Initial Public Offering. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in
which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same
per share consideration the holders of the ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary share basis
and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert its rights in order to receive 1/10 share underlying each right
(without paying additional consideration). The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent
held by affiliates of the Company).
If
the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the
Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution
from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless.
Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of a Business
Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, the rights may expire
worthless.
Warrants
Each
holder of a warrant is entitled to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50. Public Warrants may only be exercised
for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become
exercisable after the consummation of a Business Combination. No Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has
an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current
prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business
days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file, and within 60 business days following
a Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the
warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Public
Warrants is not effective within 60 business days, the holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and
during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise the Public Warrants on
a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. If an exemption from registration is
not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years
from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The
Company may call the warrants for redemption, 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 to each warrant holder, |
● | if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the ordinary share equals or exceeds $18 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading days period ending on the third trading day prior to the notice of redemption to Public Warrant holders, and |
● | if,
and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the issuance
of the ordinary share underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire
30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date
of redemption. |
If
the Company calls the warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the warrants
to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable
upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend
or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares
at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company
is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account,
holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the
Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
In
addition, if (x) the Company issues additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection
with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such
issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any
such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (or any private
placement equivalent securities issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of either Working Capital Loans or extension
loans made to the Company) held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”),
(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 a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the
volume weighted average trading price of the ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the
day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) 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 higher of the Market Value and the Newly
Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher
of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The
Private Placement Units are identical to the Public Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering except that Private Placement Units
will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s Business Combination and will
be entitled to registration rights.
NOTE
8 – 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’ deficit. The Company’s
ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events and considered to be
outside of the Company’s control. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 6,900,000 ordinary shares subject to
possible redemption, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s
unaudited condensed balance sheets.
On
August 15, 2022, the Company sold 6,900,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit in the Initial Public Offering.
