NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Organization and Operations
BOA Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was 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 (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering (see below for more information on the Public Offering), and recognizes changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities as other income (expense).
Additional background on the Company and its Public Offering are available in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).
Corporate Organization and Initial Public Offering
The Company was incorporated in Delaware on October 26, 2020. The Company’s sponsor is Bet on America LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
On February 26, 2021, the Company consummated its Public Offering of
Public Warrants
Each Unit consists of

No fractional shares will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. Each Public Warrant will become exercisable on the later of

Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, the Company consummated a private sale (the “Private Placement”) of

Transaction costs incurred during the Public Offering amounted to $

Following the closing of the Public Offering on February 26, 2021, $
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, the proceeds from the Public Offering and the Private Placement will not be released from the Trust Account until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares that have been properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem
6
Initial Business Combination
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an initial Business Combination. The initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least
The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the initial Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under New York Stock Exchange rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the initial Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $
If the Company holds a stockholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an initial Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes.
Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes (less $
The Sponsor and the Company’s directors, director nominees and officers have entered into a sponsor letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 6, Related Party Transactions) held by them if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates acquires shares of Class A common stock in or after the Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
7
Separate Trading of Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants
On March 31, 2021, the Company announced that, commencing March 31, 2021, the holders of the Company’s Units could elect to separately trade the Class A common stock and Public Warrants comprising the Units. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Those units not separated will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BOAS.U,” and each of the shares of Class A common stock and Public Warrants that are separated will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “BOAS” and “BOAS WS,” respectively.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management is continuing to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and search for a target company, the specific impacts are not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these financial statements and the specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $
Going Concern
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, the Company has until February 26, 2023 to consummate an initial Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate an initial Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after February 26, 2023. The Company’s sponsor, officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by GAAP and normally included in Annual Reports on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted from this report; however, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to condensed financial statements included in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.
It is the opinion of management that all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information, have been included. The Company has no items of other comprehensive income or loss; therefore, its net income or loss is identical to its comprehensive income or loss. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year or for any future interim periods.
Use of Estimates
In the course of preparing the condensed financial statements, management makes various assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and in the disclosures of commitments and contingencies. Changes in these assumptions, judgments and estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Although management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Estimates made in preparing these condensed financial statements include, among other things, (1) the measurement of derivative warrant liabilities and (2) accrued expenses. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on results in future periods.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies.
The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that the Company (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards based on public company effective dates.
The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Public Offering, (b) in which the Company’s total annual gross revenue is at least $
9
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company’s cash balances held at commercial banks may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. The Company has not experienced any credit losses to date.
Cash held in Trust Account
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash held in Trust Account. The Company’s Trust Account is maintained with a high-quality financial institution, with the compositions and maturities of the Trust Account’s investments are regularly monitored by management.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Certain financial assets and liabilities, such as the derivative warrant liability, are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Nonfinancial assets and liabilities, if any, are recognized at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
The Company categorizes the inputs to the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, established by the FASB, that prioritizes the significant inputs used in measuring fair value. These levels are:
Level 1—inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Examples of Level 1 inputs include financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, listed securities and U.S. government treasury securities.
Level 2— inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies. Examples of Level 2 inputs include nonexchange-traded derivatives such as over-the-counter forwards, swaps and options.
Level 3—inputs that are generally unobservable from objective sources and typically reflect management’s estimates and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
10
Derivative Warrant Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. 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 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 common stock, 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 reporting period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
The Company further evaluated the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”, which are discussed in Note 3, Fair Value Measurements, Note 4, Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit), and Note 6, Related Party Transactions) in accordance with ASC 815-40 , Contracts in an entity’s own equity (“ASC 815-40”), and concluded that a provision in the warrant agreement related to certain tender or exchange offers precludes the Warrants from being accounted for as a component of equity. As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants were measured at fair value at inception (on the date of the Public Offering) and recorded as derivative warrant liabilities on the condensed balance sheets. The Warrants are subject to remeasurement at each reporting date until exercised or expiration in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), with changes in fair value recognized on the statements of operations in the period of change. Subsequent to becoming publicly traded on March 31, 2021, the fair value of the Public Warrants was determined based on their quoted trading price. Prior to being publicly traded, the fair value of the Public Warrants was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation approach, while the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. See Note 3, Fair Value Measurements, for more information regarding the methods used to fair value the Warrants.
Allocation of Issuance Costs
The Company accounts for the allocation of its issuance costs to its Warrants using the guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt with conversion and other options (“ASC 470-20”), applied by analogy. Under this guidance, if debt or stock is issued with detachable warrants, the proceeds need to be allocated to the two instruments using either the fair value method, the relative fair value method, or the residual value method. The guidance also requires companies to use a consistent approach in allocating issuance costs between the instruments. Accordingly, the Company allocated its issuance costs of $
11
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were
The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company has two classes of shares, Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss), on a pro rata basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from net income (loss) per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The Company has not considered the effect of the Warrants sold in the Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase

contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any other dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in earnings of the Company.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“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 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 new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2024, although early adoption is permitted. The ASU allows the use of the modified retrospective method or the fully retrospective method. The Company is still in the process of evaluating the impact of this new standard; however, the Company does not believe the initial impact of adopting the standard will result in any changes to the Company’s statements of financial position, operations or cash flows.
NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a recurring basis. These assets and liabilities include the investments held in Trust Account, and derivative warrant liabilities.
The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and where they are classified within the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Investments Held in Trust Account. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the investments held in Trust Account were entirely comprised of U.S. Treasury Bills. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account.
Derivative Warrant Liabilities. The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within derivative warrant liabilities on the condensed balance sheets. The derivative warrant liabilities were measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed statements of operations.
The Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The measurement of the Public Warrants as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker BOAS WS. The fair value of the Private Warrants continues to be estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and was classified as Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs.
The following table presents information and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants as of the following dates:

The following contains additional information regarding inputs used in the pricing model:

● | Risk-free rate – the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of valuation equal to the remaining expected life of the warrants. |
● | Volatility – the Company estimated the volatility of its common stock warrants based on implied volatility and actual historical volatility of a group of comparable publicly traded companies observed over a historical period equal to the expected remaining life of the Warrants. |

NOTE 4 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue
Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue
If the Company enters into an initial Business Combination, it may (depending on the terms of such an initial Business Combination) be required to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock which the Company is authorized to issue at the same time as the Company’s stockholders vote on the initial Business Combination to the extent the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with the initial Business Combination.
In addition,
Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue
Holders of the Class A common stock and holders of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, except as required by law.
The Sponsor, the Company’s officers and directors entered into a sponsor letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 6, Related Party Transactions) and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation and (iii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Public Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within such time period.
Warrant Liabilities — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a)

● | if, and only if, the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $ |
● | If, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying such warrants. |
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 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. 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 the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
NOTE 5 — CLASS A COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE REDEMPTION
The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of future events. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were

The Company’s Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors 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. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loan 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 $
NOTE 7 — INCOME TAXES
The Company’s provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, in addition to discrete items. The Company’s effective tax rate was
NOTE 8 — NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
The Company has two classes of shares, Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss), on a pro rata basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from net income (loss) per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on October 26, 2021. Our business purpose is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this Quarterly Report as our initial business combination. On February 26, 2021, we consummated an initial public offering.
Recent Developments
Proposed Business Combination
Under the Business Combination Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, (a) each outstanding series A voting ordinary share of $0.01 each in the capital of Selina, outstanding series B voting ordinary share of $0.01 each in the capital of Selina, and outstanding series C voting ordinary share of $0.01 each in the capital of Selina (each, a “Selina Preferred Share”) shall become and be redesignated as a Selina Ordinary Share in accordance with the governing documents of Selina (the “Selina Preferred Share Redesignation”); (b) Selina’s convertible loan notes, the put and call options, the term loan, the 2018 warrant instruments, and the 2020 warrant instrument (collectively, the “Selina Convertible Instruments”) may be converted into Selina Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the Selina Convertible Instruments and the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Selina Convertible Instrument Conversion”); and (c) immediately following the Selina Preferred Share Redesignation and the Selina Convertible Instrument Conversion, Selina shall effect a share subdivision, whereby each Selina Ordinary Share will be subdivided into such number of Selina Ordinary Shares calculated in accordance with Section 2.1(c) of the Business Combination Agreement to cause the value of the outstanding Selina Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time to equal $10.00 per share (the “Share Subdivision” and, together with the Selina Preferred Share Redesignation and the Selina Convertible Instrument Conversion, the “Capital Restructuring”).
In addition, immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each issued and outstanding share of our Class B common stock, will be automatically converted into one (1) share of our Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of our Charter (such conversion, the “Class B Conversion”), (ii) in accordance with and as required by the Charter, we will provide an opportunity for our stockholders
22
to redeem all or a portion of their outstanding shares of Class A common stock as set forth therein (the “Stockholder Redemption”) and (iii) each issued and outstanding Unit will be automatically separated and the holder thereof will be deemed to hold one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one Public Warrant (the “Unit Separation”).
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, after giving effect to the Capital Restructuring, the Class B Conversion, Stockholder Redemption, and the Unit Separation, at the Effective Time, (i) each issued and outstanding share of our Class A common stock will automatically be converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive one (1) Selina Ordinary Share and (ii) each Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically and irrevocably be assumed by and assigned to Selina and converted into a corresponding warrant to purchase a Selina Ordinary Share (each, a “Selina Warrant”).
Concurrently with and following the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Selina, and the PIPE Investors entered into a series of subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”), which provide for the PIPE Investment, and (ii) Bet on America Holdings LLC, an affiliate of our Sponsor in its capacity as one of the PIPE Investors, agreed to a conditional backstop obligation for an additional commitment to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,500,000 Selina Ordinary Shares at a price per share of $10.00 in the event that the cash proceeds condition in the Business Combination Agreement is not satisfied at Closing. The closing of the PIPE Investment is conditioned upon the consummation of the Business Combination.
Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are subject to customary conditions of the respective parties, including receipt of approval from our stockholders and Selina’s shareholders for consummation of the transactions and certain other actions related thereto by our stockholders.
Other than as specifically discussed, this Quarterly Report does not assume the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.
Note Subscription Agreements, Indenture and Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement
In connection with the Business Combination, on April 22, 2022, Selina entered into convertible note subscription agreements (the “Note Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which Selina agreed to issue and sell, in private placements expected to close concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, $147,500,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible notes (the “Notes”) for an aggregate purchase price equal to 80.00% of the principal amount of the Notes (“Purchase Price”). The Notes will mature four years after their issuance.
As additional consideration for the Purchase Price, the Note Subscription Agreements provide that each Investor will receive a warrant to purchase a number of Selina Ordinary Shares equal to approximately one-third of the number of Selina Ordinary Shares into which the principal amount of such Investor’s Note converts (the “Investor Warrants”). The Investor Warrants will be issued pursuant to the terms of an Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement, to be entered into by the Company, Selina and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination (the “A/R Warrant Agreement”). The Investor Warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment and are identical to our Public Warrants in all other material respects, except (i) the Investor Warrants are not subject to redemption and (ii) a holder of an Investor Warrant may exercise such Investor Warrant on a cashless basis under the circumstances described in the A/R Warrant Agreement. Upon transfer of the Investor Warrant, such Investor Warrant will thereafter be redeemable by Selina and the holder of the Investor Warrant may no longer exercise such Investor Warrant on a cashless basis.
Sponsor Letter Agreement
In connection with the execution of the Subscription Agreements, certain Investors who subscribed for over $4,000,000 in principal amount of Notes also entered into letter agreements (the “Sponsor Agreements”) with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to transfer, at the closing of the Business Combination, shares of our Class B common stock owned by the Sponsor (or Selina Ordinary Shares exchange therefor) to such Investors (the “Sponsor Shares”). The number of Sponsor Shares to be transferred to such Investors was determined by multiplying an Investor’s aggregate principal investment in the Notes by a percent ranging from 2.5% to 7.5% based on the principal amount of the Notes for which such Investor subscribed. The Sponsor Shares will be transferred from the 25% sponsor share pool established pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement that was entered into by the Company, the Sponsor, and Selina in connection with the execution of the of the Business Combination Agreement.

Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. All activity from our inception through the date of our Public Offering, February 26, 2021, was in preparation for our Public Offering. Since our Public Offering, our activity has been limited to the evaluation of Business Combination candidates. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the Initial Public Offering. We 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.
Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2022 versus the three months ended June 30, 2021
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $1,536,557, which was primarily due to a gain from the change in fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities of $1,566,583, income tax expense of $9,130 and interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $313,919. This was partially offset by $284,817 in operating costs and $50,000 of franchise tax expense.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net income of $2,470,037, which was primarily due to a gain from the change in fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities of $2,666,342. This was partially offset by $149,778 in operating costs and $50,000 of franchise tax expense.
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2022 versus the six months ended June 30, 2021
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $4,981,336, which was primarily due to a gain from the change in fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities of $5,473,241, income tax expense of $9,130 and interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $317,317. This was partially offset by $700,107 in operating costs and $100,000 of franchise tax expense.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net income of $1,089,679, which was primarily due to a gain from the change in fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities of $1,846,825. This was partially offset by $438,197 of issuance costs attributed to the warrant liability, $222,422 in operating costs, and $100,000 of franchise tax expense.
As described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in “Part 1. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements,” we account for the Warrants issued in connection with our Public Offering and Private Placement as derivative instruments which were initially recorded at their fair value. These derivative instruments are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, we had cash of $10,434 held outside the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily for due diligence fees and other expenses related to the Business Combination.
As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and marketable securities in the Trust Account of $230,329,107. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our initial Business Combination.
Material cash requirements
As of June 30, 2022, we do not have any debt, lease obligations or other capital commitments.
The underwriters are entitled to deferred fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering, or $8,050,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the trust account solely in the event that we complete our initial business combination.
24
Sources of cash
Prior to the completion of the Public Offering, our liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of founder shares to Bet on America LLC, or the “Sponsor.”
On February 26, 2021, we consummated the Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per unit generating net proceeds of $217,111,865. Transaction costs were $12,888,135, including $4,600,000 of underwriting fees, $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $238,135 of other offering costs in connection with the Public Offering. Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 6,575,000 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $6,575,000. Following the closing of the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $230,000,000 was placed in a Trust Account and following the payment of certain transaction expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $750,142. Net income of $4,981,336 was impacted by the non-cash changes in fair value of the derivative warrant liability of $5,473,241, as well as the interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $317,317. Additionally, changes in operating assets and liabilities used $59,080 of cash used in operating activities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $643,337. Net income of $1,089,679 was adjusted for the interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $3,473, the issuance costs attributed to the warrant liabilities of $438,197, and the non-cash change in fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities of $1,846,825. Additionally, changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $320,915 of cash used in operating activities.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies and/or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial 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 our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $10,434 and $760,576 in cash not held in the Trust Account and available for working capital purposes, respectively. The Company believes it may need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating the business. If the Company’s estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate the business prior to the initial Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete the initial Business Combination or to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of the initial Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, the Company will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, the Company has until February 26, 2023, to consummate an initial business combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate an initial business combination by this time. If an initial business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
25
Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after February 26, 2023. The Company’s sponsor, officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our management makes a number of significant estimates, assumptions and judgments in the preparation of our financial statements. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in “Part I. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” for a discussion of the estimates and judgments necessary in our accounting for derivative warrant liabilities, common stock subject to possible redemption, and net income (loss) per common share. Any new accounting policies or updates to existing accounting policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements have been included in the notes to our condensed financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The application of our critical accounting policies may require management to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the condensed financial statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments. Different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Please refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in “Part 1. Financial Information – Item 1. Financial Statements” for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and their anticipated effect on our business.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022. Based upon their evaluation, and in light of the material weakness in internal controls described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of June 30, 2022.
A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
26
We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 related to the appropriate accounting for complex financial instruments. The Company’s management concluded that our control around the interpretation and accounting for certain complex features of the Class A Common Stock subject to redemption, and the warrants issued by the Company was not effectively designed or maintained. This material weakness resulted in a material error in our accounting for these complex financial instruments and a restatement of the Company’s interim financial statements on Form 10-Q/A for each of the following periods: March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021. Because of this material weakness, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2021, based on the criteria in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission.
Subsequent to December 31, 2021, we identified two additional material weaknesses. The first related to corporate governance controls over financial reporting which primarily related to the financial statement close process and ineffective communications with our external auditors. While no errors were identified, we concluded that the ineffective communication with our auditor is indicative of an opportunity to improve internal governance controls around effectively communicating information critical to financial reporting.
The second related to the reconciliation controls that are part of the monthly financial statement close process. Specifically, the operation of the reconciliation process allowed for timing differences for the interest earned on funds held in the Trust Account. The Company determined the control was not operating in a way that would prevent potential future misstatement.
Remediation Plan
After identifying the material weaknesses, we have commenced our remediation efforts by taking the following steps:
● | We have increased communication among our personnel, our third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications, and our external auditors. |
● | We have also retained the services of a valuation expert to assist in valuation analysis of the Warrants on a quarterly basis. |
● | We are establishing additional monitoring and oversight controls designed to ensure the accuracy and completeness of our financial statements and related disclosures. |
● | We have updated our account reconciliation process to provide complete and accurate reporting of balances each reporting period. |
We continue to evaluate, design and implement controls and procedures under a remediation plan designed to address these material weaknesses. If our remedial measures are insufficient to address the material weaknesses, or if additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control are discovered or occur in the future, our financial results could be adversely affected.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports, prevent fraud and operate successfully. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our ability to accurately report financial results could be adversely affected and our reputation and operating results would be harmed. Any failure to further develop, as necessary, or to maintain effective internal controls could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In light of the material weakness discussed above, we plan to continue to enhance our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements.
