Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 7, 2022, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). We are actively searching and identifying suitable Business Combination target. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the sale of warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to the Company’s sponsor Acri Capital Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), potential additional shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

On June 14, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 8,625,000 units (the “Units”) (including 1,125,000 Units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option). Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Public Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant, each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock (the “Class A common stock”) at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $86,250,000 on June 14, 2022.

Business Combination with Foxx

On February 18, 2024, we entered into a business combination agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among us, Acri Capital Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Purchaser”, or “PubCo” upon and following the Business Combination), Acri Capital Merger Sub II Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (“Merger Sub”, together with us and the Purchaser, the “Purchaser Parties”), and Foxx Development Inc., a Texas corporation (“Foxx”), pursuant to which (i) Parent will merger with and into Purchaser (the “Reincorporation Merger”), and (ii) Foxx will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (the “Acquisition Merger”). The Reincorporation Merger, the Acquisition Merger, and other transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement, are collectively referred to as the “Foxx Business Combination”. Following consummation of the Foxx Business Combination (the “Closing”), Purchaser will become a publicly traded company. 

On May 31, 2024, ACAC, PubCo, Merger Sub, and Foxx entered into an amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA Amendment”). Pursuant to the BCA Amendment, ACAC, PubCo, Merger Sub, and Foxx agreed to revise the lock-up provision, which shall now provide that, each Pre-Closing Company Stockholder (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) who holds more than 5% of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Foxx (“Foxx Common Stock”) immediately prior to closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) except the Pre-Closing Company Stockholders who hold Foxx Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of certain convertible notes of Foxx, the Sponsor, and affiliates of the foregoing, will, subject to certain customary exceptions, agree not to sell any share of common stock of the PubCo (“PubCo Common Stock”) held by them until the earlier to occur of: (A) six months after the Closing, or (B) the date on which the last reported sale price of the PubCo Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the Closing, or earlier, in any case, if subsequent to the Closing, the PubCo completes a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of ACAC’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property.

Additional Information about the Transaction and Where to Find It

The Business Combination has been approved by the boards of directors of ACAC, PubCo and Foxx, and will be submitted to stockholders of ACAC and the stockholders of Foxx for their approval. ACAC started mailing of a definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents to its stockholders on August 1, 2024, and the record date established for voting on the proposed transaction was on July 19. 2024. The special meeting of the stockholders of ACAC is scheduled to be held on August 27, 2024. ACAC stockholders are urged to read the definitive proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333- 280613) that was filed publicly by the Purchaser and declared effective by the SEC on July 29, 2024. ACAC stockholders will also be able to obtain a free copy of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, as well as other filings containing information about ACAC, without charge, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).

Special Meeting III and Extension Notes 

On April 9, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting III”), at which the stockholders of the Company approved, among other things, the proposal to amend the then-effective Company Charter to allow the Company until April 14, 2024 to consummate the Business Combination, and, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the deadline to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Deadline”) on a monthly basis for up to nine (9) times, up to January 14, 2025, by depositing the lesser of (i) $50,000 and (ii) $0.033 for each public share into the Trust Account. Upon the stockholders’ approval, on April 10, 2024, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Charter which became effective upon filing (the Charter upon the amendment, the “Third Amended Charter”). In connection with the Special Meeting III, 1,439,666 shares of Class A common stock of the Company were redeemed and cancelled.

Pursuant to the Third Amended Charter, the Company may extend the Combination Deadline on a monthly basis from April 14, 2024 for up to nine times, up to January 14, 2025, by depositing $50,000 each month into the Trust Account. Following the Special Meeting III, the Sponsor deposited four monthly payments, and Foxx deposited one monthly payment into the Trust Account to extend the Combination Deadline to September 14, 2024. The five monthly payments were evidenced by four promissory notes issued by the Company to the Sponsor and one promissory note issued by the Company to Foxx, each in the principal amount of $50,000.

Working Capital Note

The Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. Any such loans would be on an interest-free basis and would be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to us upon completion of the Business Combination. We may issue such working capital notes to the Sponsor, officers, directors, of their affiliates, evidencing the terms of such loans.

On December 5, 2023 and June 11, 2024, respectively, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note of $500,000 (collectively, the “Working Capital Notes”)  to the Sponsor. The proceeds of the Working Capital Notes, which may be drawn down from time to time until the Company consummates its initial business combination, and will be used as general working capital purposes.

The Working Capital Notes are non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the Company. The holder of the Working Capital Notes has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Working Capital Notes, in whole or in part, respectively, into private placement warrants of the Company, as described in the prospectus of the Company (File Number 333-263477), by providing the Company with written notice of its intention to convert the Working Capital Notes at least two business days prior to the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. The number of Warrants to be received by the holder in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the holder, by (y) $1.00.

The issuance of the Working Capital Notes were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard

On July 23, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “ Letter ”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“ Nasdaq ”) that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) for the Company was below the $35 million minimum MVLS requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Capital Market”) under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “ MVLS Rule ”). The Letter is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company will have 180 calendar days, or until January 20, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. To regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, the MVLS for the Company must be at least $35 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time during this Compliance Period. If the Company regains compliance with the MVLS Rule, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation and will close the matter.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule by the Compliance Date, Nasdaq will provide written notification that its securities will be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Nasdaq rules permit the Company an opportunity to appeal Nasdaq’s determination.

The Company is monitoring its MVLS and is evaluating options to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date except the preparation and completion of the IPO and the search for a target candidate following the consummation of the IPO. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2024 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the IPO and search for a target candidate. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of the Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the IPO. We expect that we will 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 in connection with searching for, and completing, the Business Combination.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we had net loss of $245,297 and net income of $90,945, respectively, mainly from income on our investment less our formation and operating costs and tax expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we had net loss of $142,648 and net income of $454,603, respectively, mainly from income on our investment less our formation and operating costs and tax expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity needs up to June 30, 2024 had been satisfied through initial payment from the Sponsor of $25,000, proceeds from the Private Placement of $5,240,000, and loan from sponsor of $2,503,327.

On June 14, 2022, we consummated the IPO of 8,625,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per unit (including 1,125,000 units issued upon the fully exercise of the over-allotment option), generating gross proceeds of $86,250,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and exercise of the over-allotment option in full by the underwriters, we consummated the sale of 5,240,000 warrants as Private Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, with each warrant entitling the registered holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, generating gross proceeds of $5,240,000. Following the closings of the IPO and the sales of the Private Warrants on June 14, 2022, a total of $87,975,000 (or $10.20 per share) was placed in the Trust Account.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $4,665 and a working capital deficit of $3,346,481 (excluding taxes payable which will be paid out from Trust).

On February 8, 2023, in connection with the Special Meeting I, 4,981,306 shares of Class A common stock of the Company were rendered for redemption at $10.33 per share. On July 11, 2023, in connection with the Special Meeting II, 388,644 shares of Class A common stock of the Company were redeemed and cancelled at $10.82 per share. On May 9, 2024, in connection with the New Extension Amendment Proposal, 1,439,666 shares of Class A common stock of the Company were redeemed and cancelled at $11.24 per share, resulting in approximately $21.2 million remaining in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2024.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, excluding deferred underwriting commissions, to complete the Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete the 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.

We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete the Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If the Company completes the Business Combination, it would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrant, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to the Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete the Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon completion of the Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Pursuant to the Third Amended Charter, the Company may extend the Combination Deadline on a monthly basis from April 14, 2024 for up to nine times, up to January 14, 2025, by depositing $50,000 each month into the Trust Account. As of the date of this report, between July 12, 2023 and March 12, 2024, an aggregate of $675,000 of extension payments, or nine monthly extension payments of $75,000, were deposited into the Trust Account, which enabled the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate the Business Combination on a monthly basis from July 14, 2023 to April 14, 2024. Following the Special Meeting III, the Sponsor deposited four monthly payments, and Foxx deposited one monthly payment, into the Trust Account, to extend the Combination Deadline to September 14, 2024. The five monthly payments were evidenced by four promissory notes issued by the Company to the Sponsor and one promissory note issued by the Company to Foxx (the “Foxx Note”), each in the principal amount of $50,000.

In connection with each monthly extension payments, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes (each an “Extension Note”) to the Sponsor.

Each of the Extension Notes is non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Business Combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the Company. The holder of the Extension Notes has the right, but not the obligation, to convert each Extension Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into Private Warrants of the Company, as described in the Prospectus, by providing the Company with written notice of its intention to convert the Extension Notes at least two business days prior to the closing of the Business Combination. The number of Private Warrants to be received by the holder in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the holder, by (y) $1.00.

The Foxx Note is non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the Company. The Foxx Note is not convertible into any securities of the Company.

If we are unable to complete the Business Combination by the Combination Deadline, we may seek approval from our stockholders holding no less than 65% or more of the votes to approve to extend the Combination Deadline, and if we fail to obtain approval from our stockholders for such extension or we do not seek such extension, the Company will cease all operations.

As a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 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

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

The holders of the Founder Shares, the Private Warrants, and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the IPO. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of the Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing the 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 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 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. We have identified the following critical accounting policies and estimates:

Investments held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $21,214,423 and $36,672,846 of the assets held in the Trust Account, respectively, were held in money market funds, which are invested in short term U.S. Treasury securities.

The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying balance sheet and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs – SEC Materials” (“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consisting principally of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses that are directly related to the IPO and charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO.

Warrants

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 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, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock 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. We determined that upon further review of the proposed form of warrant agreement, management concluded that the warrants included in the units issued in the IPO pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ 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. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2024, common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $11.58 per share as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero.

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 common stock and non-redeemable common stock and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net 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 common stock. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the common stock subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. We evaluated the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and believe that the adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) 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 (who also serves as our chief financial officer) (our “Certifying Officer”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include an attestation report of internal controls from our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as set forth in Item 4(a) above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On August 12, 2024, an aggregate of $50,000 (the “August Monthly Extension Payment”) was deposited into the trust account of the Company for the public shareholders, which enabled the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from August 14, 2024 to September 14, 2024. The Extension is the fifth of the nine one-month extensions permitted under the Company’s governing documents.

In connection with the August Monthly Extension Payment, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note of $50,000 to Foxx Development Inc (the “Foxx Note”). The Foxx Note is non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the Company. The Foxx Note is not convertible into any securities of the Company.

The issuance of the Foxx Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

A copy of the Foxx Note is attached as Exhibit 10.6 to this this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The disclosures set forth in this Item 5 are intended to be summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Foxx Note.
