Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on March 4, 2021 and formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the initial public offering and the sale of the Private Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

We presently have no revenue, have had losses since inception from incurring formation costs and have had no operations other than the active solicitation of a target business with which to complete a business combination. We have relied upon the sale of our securities and loans from our officers and directors to fund our operations.

On December 13, 2021, we consummated our initial public offering (“IPO”) of 9,000,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock for $11.50 per share, and one right (the “Right”) to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of Common Stock upon consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $90,000,000. On December 9, 2021, the underwriters of the IPO fully exercised their over-allotment option, and the closing and sale of an additional 1,350,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) occurred on December 13, 2021. The issuance by the Company of the Over-Allotment Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $13,500,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the over-allotment units on December 13, 2021, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with the Sponsor of 4,721,250 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating total proceeds of $4,721,250. These securities (other than our IPO securities) were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended pursuant to Section 4(2) of the securities Act.

The Private Warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the IPO except that the Private Warrants will be non-redeemable and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the Sponsor or their permitted transferees. Additionally, our Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of the Private Warrants or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Registration Statement) until 30 days after the Company completes its initial business combination.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the initial business combination and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally towards consummating a business combination.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity from inception up to December 13, 2021 was in preparation for the initial public offering. Since the initial public offering, 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 incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. We expect our expenses to increase substantially after this period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 we had a net income of $262,934 which was comprised of general and administrative expenses, dividend income and interest income.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 we had a net income of $317,367 which was comprised of general and administrative expenses, dividend income and interest income.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 we had a net income of $814 which was comprised of general and administrative expenses, dividend income and interest income.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 we had a net income of $62,302, which was comprised of general and administrative expenses and dividend income.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 we generated net cash used in operating activities of $837,438, which was comprised of net income of $262,934, interest income and dividend income earned in cash and investments held in trust account of $985,835 change in prepaid expenses of $20,250, change of accrued liabilities of $17,455 and change in income tax payable of $76,832.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 we generated net cash used in operating activities of $814,563, which was comprised of net income of $317,367, interest income and dividend income earned in cash and investments held in trust account of $2,313,587, non-redemption agreement expense of $452,026, change in prepaid expenses of $144,405, change of accrued liabilities of $109,958 and change in income tax payable of $475,268.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2024, we had cash of $11,295.  Until the consummation of the initial public offering, the only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of common stock by our Sponsor, monies loaned by the Sponsor under a certain unsecured promissory note and advances from our Sponsor.

On December 13, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 10,350,000 units (the “Public Units”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 1,350,000 Public Units, at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $103,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 4,721,250 Warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to Soul Venture Partners LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $4,721,250. 

Transaction costs amounted to $4,832,697, consisting of $1,811,250 of underwriting fees, $2,587,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $433,947 of other offering costs. In addition, at December 13, 2021, cash of $1,498,937 were held outside of the Trust Account and is available for the payment of offering costs and for working capital purposes net with $104,535,000 transferred to the Trust Account on December 13, 2021.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account to complete our initial business combination (less deferred underwriting commissions). We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. We estimate our annual franchise tax obligations, based on the number of shares of our common stock authorized and outstanding after the completion of this offering, to be $200,000, which is the maximum amount of annual franchise taxes payable by us as a Delaware corporation per annum, which we may pay from funds from this offering held outside of the trust account or from interest earned on the funds held in our trust account and released to us for this purpose. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. We expect the interest earned on the amount in the trust account will be sufficient to pay our income and franchise taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we will have available to us the approximately $480,000 of proceeds held outside the trust account. We will use these funds to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete an initial business combination.

The Company’s IPO prospectus dated December 8, 2021 provides that the Company initially had until 15 months from the closing of the IPO to complete its initial business combination, or, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within 15 months, we may, but are not obligated to, extend the period of time to consummate a business combination two times by an additional three months each time (for a total of up to 21 months to complete a business combination) by depositing $0.10 for each public share that has not been redeemed (or an aggregate of $1,035,000 if there are no redemptions) into the trust account for each three (3) month extension.

However, as approved by our stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on March 13, 2023 (the “Meeting”), on March 13, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the investment management trust agreement with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, allowing us to extend the time available for us to consummate an initial business combination for an additional six (6) months from March 13, 2023 to September 13, 2023 without having to make any extension payment. In connection with the stockholders vote to amend the investment management trust agreement at the Meeting, 5,873,364 shares of common stock were tendered for redemption. On March 13, 2023, the Company decided to extend the available time to complete a business combination for an additional six (6) months from March 13, 2023 to September 13, 2023. Public stockholders were not offered the opportunity to vote on or redeem their shares in connection with any such extension.

Subsequently on September 8, 2023 at a special meeting of stockholders, Inception Growth’s stockholders approved an amendment of Inception Growth’s certificate of incorporation and a further amendment to the Trust Agreement, such that Inception Growth has the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination by nine times for an additional one (1) month each time from September 13, 2023 to June 13, 2024 by depositing into the trust account the lesser of (i) $100,000 and (ii) an aggregate amount equal to $0.04 multiplied by the number of Public Share that has not been redeemed for each one-month extension. On each of September 8, 2023, October 5, 2023, November 1, 2023, November 29, 2023, January 4, 2024, February 5, 2024, February 27, 2024, April 3, 2024 and May 6, 2024, Inception Growth deposited $100,000 into Inception Growth’s trust account in order to extend the amount of time it has available to complete a business combination.

Further, subsequently on June 4, 2024 at the annual meeting of stockholders, Inception Growth’s stockholders approved an amendment of Inception Growth’s certificate of incorporation and a further amendment to the Trust Agreement, such that Inception Growth has the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination by six times for an additional one (1) month each time from June 13, 2024 to December 13, 2024 by depositing into the Trust Account the lesser of (i) $50,000 and (ii) an aggregate amount equal to $0.04 multiplied by the number of Public Share that has not been redeemed for each one-month extension. On each of June 6, 2024, July 8, 2024, August 1, 2024, September 5, 2024, October 2, 2024 and November 12, 2024, Inception Growth deposited $50,000 into Inception Growth’s Trust Account in order to extend the amount of time it has available to complete a business combination. Currently, Inception Growth has until December 13, 2024 to complete a business combination.

If the Company does not complete a business combination by December 13, 2024 (or such date as may be extended), 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 Law. Accordingly, no vote would be required from our shareholders to commence such a voluntary winding up, dissolution and liquidation. If the Company is unable to consummate the Company’s initial business combination by December 13, 2024 (or such date as may be extended), 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 public rights will expire and will be worthless.

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 December 13, 2024 (or such date as may be extended). These unaudited condensed consolidated 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. 

Off-balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2024.  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

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than an agreement to pay our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and administrative services to us. We began incurring these fees on March 4, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination and our liquidation. Also, we are committed to the below:

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Warrants (and their underlying securities) and the warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and their underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the Public Offering. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that we register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued in payment of Working Capital Loans made to us (or underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after we consummate a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

We are committed to pay the Deferred Discount of the Initial Public Offering, to the underwriter upon the Company’s consummation of the business combination. The deferred fee can be paid in cash.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any significant accounting policies.

We account 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”) 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 our own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of our 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 upon the IPO and private placements meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 480, therefore, the warrants are classified as equity.

We account for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stocks subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stocks (including common stocks 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 our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stocks are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our common stocks feature certain redemption rights that are subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events and considered to be outside of our control. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023, 1,264,184 and 2,950,891 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our balance sheet. 

We comply with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Public Offering and that were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Public Offering.

We calculates net income (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, we first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable ordinary shares and non-redeemable ordinary shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net income (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 ordinary shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to the redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of ordinary share is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. As of September 30, 2024, we has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,896,250 shares in the calculation of diluted net 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 we did not have any other dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As of September 30, 2024, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the Trust Account, have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

We determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Original Form 10-K”) contained an unintentional error in its content. In connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the “Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s management, in consultation with its advisors, identified two errors made in certain of the Company’s previously issued financial statements, arising from the manner in which the Company accounted for the deferred underwriting compensation in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and the classification of non-redemption agreement expenses. The Company previously overstated $337,500 deferred underwriting compensation and classified the non-redemption agreement expenses as additional paid-in capital item. The Company’s management determined, after consultation with its advisors, that the deferred underwriting compensation should be decreased to the maximum allowed by the underwriting agreement, and the non-redemption agreement expenses should be reclassified as profit and loss item. The Company has restated amount of $337,500 deferred underwriting compensation in Form 10K. The subsequent events footnote disclosure of promissory notes were omitted. The Company subsequently filed an amended Form 10-K on March 14, 2024 to rectify the errors.

To remediate these material weaknesses, we developed a remediation plan with assistance from our accounting advisors and have dedicated significant resources and efforts to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. For a discussion of management’s consideration of the material weakness identified related to our accounting for a significant and unusual transaction related to the warrants we issued in connection with our initial public offering.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter of September 30, 2024 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 Legal Proceedings

The Company is not party to any legal proceedings as of the filing date of this Form 10-Q. 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our final prospectus for our Initial Public Offering filed with the SEC on December 8, 2021. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus dated December 8, 2021 other than as stated below.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On December 13, 2021, we consummated our initial public offering (“IPO”) of 9,000,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock for $11.50 per share, and one right (the “Right”) to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of Common Stock upon consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $90,000,000. On December 9, 2021, the underwriters of the IPO fully exercised their over-allotment option, and the closing and sale of an additional 1,350,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) occurred on December 13, 2021. The issuance by the Company of the Over-Allotment Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $13,500,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the over-allotment units on December 13, 2021, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with the Sponsor of 4,721,250 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating total proceeds of $4,721,250. These securities (other than our IPO securities) were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended pursuant to Section 4(2) of the securities Act.

The Private Warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the IPO except that the Private Warrants will be non-redeemable and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the Sponsor or their permitted transferees. Additionally, our Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of the Private Warrants or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Registration Statement) until 30 days after the Company completes its initial business combination.

As of December 31, 2021, a total of $104,535,351 was held in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders, which included $103,500,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO (including the exercise of the over-allotment option) and $4,721,250 of the Private Placements and subsequent interest income. Following tax withdrawal, redemptions and extensions, the amount of funds remaining in the trust account as of September 30, 2024 was approximately $14,704,087.

We paid a total of $1,811,250 in underwriting discounts and commissions (not including the deferred underwriting commission payable at the consummation of initial business combination) and approximately $433,947 for other costs and expenses related to our formation and the initial public offering.
