BNIX Bannix Acquisition Corporation

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Restated)

Note 1—Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

Bannix Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 21, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting mergers, capital stock exchange, asset acquisitions, stock purchases, reorganization or similar business combinations with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target with respect to the Business Combination.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 21, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “IPO”) (as defined below). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

Financing

The Company’s sponsors are Subash Menon and Sudeesh Yezhuvath (through their investment entity Bannix Management LLP), Suresh Yezhuvath (“Yezhuvath”) and Seema Rao (“Rao”) (the “Sponsors”).

The registration statements for the Company’s IPO were declared effective on September 9, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On September 14, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of 6,900,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock (the “Public Shares”), one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

Concurrent with the IPO, the Company consummated the issuance of 406,000 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”) as follows: the Company sold 181,000 Private Placement Units to certain investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,460,000 and issued an additional 225,000 private placement units to the Sponsor in exchange for the cancellation of $1,105,000 in loans and a promissory note due to them (see Note 5). Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of common stock, one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination.

Transaction costs incurred related to the IPO were $8,746,087, consisting of $1,845,000 in underwriter’s discount paid at the time of the offering, $225,000 in underwriting expense to be paid in the future, $2,861,040 in fair value of representative shares to the underwriters, $3,244,453 in fair value of Anchor Investors shares, $10,834 fair value of Associate shares and $559,760 in other offering costs. Of the total incurred, $33,223 was allocated to the warrants and charged to expense and $8,712,864 was charged to temporary equity.

Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on September 14, 2021, an amount of $69,690,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds from this offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of this offering, or within any period of extension, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

Initial Business Combination

The Company has 15 months from the closing of the offering to consummate the initial Business Combination. However, if the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate the initial Business Combination within 15 months, the Company may, by resolution of the board if requested by the initial stockholders, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to two times, each by an additional three months (for a total of up to 21 months to complete a Business Combination) (the “Combination Period”), subject to the Sponsors depositing additional funds into the Trust Account as set out below. Pursuant to the terms of the bylaws and the trust agreement entered into between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company on the date of this prospectus, in order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate the initial Business Combination, the Sponsors, upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the Trust Account for each three-month extension, $690,000 ($0.10 per share in either case) on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, up to an aggregate of $1,380,000, or approximately $0.20 per share. In the event that the Company receives notice from the Sponsors five days prior to the applicable deadline of its wish for the Company to effect an extension, the Company intends to issue a press release announcing such intention at least three days prior to the applicable deadline. In addition, the Company intends to issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline announcing whether or not the funds had been timely deposited. The Sponsors and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for the Company to complete the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to consummate the initial Business Combination within the applicable time period, the Company will, promptly but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account and promptly following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the rights and warrants will be worthless. Additionally, pursuant to Nasdaq rules, any initial Business Combination must be approved by a majority of the independent directors.

The Company anticipates structuring the initial Business Combination so that the post-transaction company in which the public stockholders own shares will own or acquire substantially all of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. The Company may, however, structure the initial Business Combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than substantially all of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders or for other reasons, but the Company will only complete such Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, the stockholders prior to the initial Business Combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and the Company in the Business Combination transaction. For example, the Company could pursue a transaction in which the Company issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of shares or other equity interests. In this case, the Company would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, the stockholders immediately prior to the initial Business Combination could own less than a majority of the outstanding shares subsequent to the initial Business Combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% of net assets test. If the initial Business Combination involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses even if the acquisitions of the target businesses are not closed simultaneously.

Although the Company believes that the net proceeds of the offering will be sufficient to allow the Company to consummate a Business Combination, because the Company has not yet identified any prospective target business, the Company cannot ascertain the capital requirements for any particular transaction. If the net proceeds of this offering prove to be insufficient, either because of the size of the Business Combination, the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, or because the Company becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of the Public Shares upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, the Company will be required to seek additional financing, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Furthermore, the Company may issue a substantial number of additional shares of common or preferred stock to complete the initial Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan upon or after consummation of the initial Business Combination. The Company does not have a maximum debt leverage ratio or a policy with respect to how much debt the Company may incur. The amount of debt the Company will be willing to incur will depend on the facts and circumstances of the proposed Business Combination and market conditions at the time of the potential Business Combination. At this time, the Company is not party to any arrangement or understanding with any third party with respect to raising additional funds through the sale of the securities or the incurrence of debt. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of the initial Business Combination.

Nasdaq rules require that the initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding advisory fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. If the board is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, the Company will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or an independent accounting firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. The Company does not intend to purchase multiple businesses in unrelated industries in connection with the initial Business Combination.

The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely at its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially approximately $10.10 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations).

The initial carrying value of the common stock subject to redemption is recorded at an amount equal to the proceeds of the public offering less (i) the fair value of the public warrants and less (ii) offering costs allocable to the common stock sold as part of the units in the IPO. Such initial carrying value is classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that in no event will it redeem the public shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 both immediately before and after the consummation of the Business Combination (so that the Company is not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). Redemptions of the Company’s public shares may also be subject to a higher net tangible asset test or cash requirement pursuant to an agreement relating to the Business Combination. For example, the Business Combination may require: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash to be transferred to the target for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration the Company would be required to pay for all shares of common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to the Company, it will not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, and all shares of common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.

The Sponsors, officers and directors and Representative (as defined in Note 6) have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below) and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (iii) 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.

The Company’s Sponsors have agreed that they will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.10 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.10 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked its Sponsors to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether its Sponsors have sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Company’s Sponsors’ only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its Sponsors would be able to satisfy those obligations.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $228,182 in cash and working capital of $178,333.

The Company’s liquidity needs through March 31, 2022 were satisfied through (1) a capital contribution from the Sponsors of $28,750 for common stock (“Founder Shares”) and (2) loans from Sponsors and related parties in order to pay offering costs. In addition, in order to fund transaction costs in connection with a possible Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsors, an affiliate of the Sponsors, and/or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans. As of March 31, 2022, the Company owed $43,890 to Sponsors and related parties. See Note 5 for further disclosure of Sponsor and related party loans.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company may not have sufficient funds and borrowing capacity to meet its operating needs through the consummation of a Business Combination through the initial term of the Company which expires on December 14, 2022. Over this time period, the Company will be utilizing these funds to pay existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. As of the date of the filing of this report, management has indicated that it does intend to extend the term of the Company after its initial term expires.

The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of the date of the filing of this report. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations, the Company has until December 14, 2022 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by that time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. We have determined that the insufficient funds to meet the operating needs of the Company through the liquidation date as well as the mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of 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. 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.

Consideration of Inflation Reduction Act Excise Tax

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

Note 2– Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

In connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s management further evaluated the warrants under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s common stock. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded that the Company’s Public Warrants are indexed to the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Company should have classified the Public Warrants as a component of equity in its previously issued financial statements.

Additionally, the Company evaluated the impacts of the transfer of shares to Anchor Investors and other investors. The transfer of shares to the Anchor Investors and other investors were valued as of the grant date and that value was allocated to the offering costs of the Company.

Associated with the reclassification of the Public Warrants to equity and the valuation of the Anchor Investor shares, the allocation of offering costs was re-allocated.

The Company’s accounting for the Public Warrants as derivative liabilities instead of as components of equity did not have any effect on the Company’s previously reported investments held in trust, operating expenses, or cash.

The impact of the restatement on the Company’s financial statements is reflected in the following tables:

Note 3—Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the period presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2022.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the period January 21, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on November 3, 2022. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 contained herein has been derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2021, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “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, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. 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.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in financial institutions, which, at times, may exceed the insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $69,671,440 and $69,870,946 was held in excess of insured limits, respectively.

Offering Costs related to the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC Subtopic 340-10-S99-1, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through March 31, 2022 that were directly related to the IPO. Upon consummation of the IPO, offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the IPO on a relative fair value basis compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with the Private Warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred and presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the shares of common stock were charged to temporary equity (common stock subject to possible redemption) upon the completion of the IPO. Offering costs associated with the Public Warrants were included in additional paid-in capital on the statements of changes in stockholders’ equity.

Anchor Investors and Other Investors

The Company complies with SAB Topic 5.A to account for the valuation of the Founder Shares acquired by the Anchor Investors and Other Investors. The Founder Shares acquired by the Anchor Investors and Other Investors represent a capital contribution for the benefit of the Company and are recorded as offering costs and reflected as a reduction in the proceeds from the offering and offering expenses in accordance with ASC 470 and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. As such, upon sale of the Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors and the granting of the Founder Shares to the Other Investors the valuation of these shares were recognized as a deferred offering cost and charged to temporary equity and the statement of operations based on the relative fair value basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s cash and current liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, due to their short-term nature.

Fair value is defined as the price which would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Fair Value of Trust Account

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the assets in the Trust Account were held in a money market fund with a broker. These financial assets were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company classifies its investments in the Trust Account as available-for-sale in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 320 “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities.” Available-for-sale securities are those securities not classified as trading securities or as held-to-maturity securities. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value.

Fair Value of Warrant Liability

The Company accounted for the 7,306,000 warrants issued in connection with the IPO and private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” whereby under that provision, the Private Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as a liability and the Public Warrants met the criteria for equity treatment. Accordingly, the Company classified the Private Warrants as a liability at fair value in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is re-measured at each balance sheet date until the Private Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statements of operations.

Common Stock Subject to 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 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 and subsequently measured at redemption value. At all other times, shares of common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s shares of common stock sold as part of the IPO feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, all 6,900,000 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at their net carrying value and classified as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. The initial carrying value of the common stock subject to redemption is recorded at an amount equal to the proceeds of the public offering ($69,000,000) less (i) the fair value of the public warrants ($5,796,000) and less (ii) offering costs allocable to the common stock sold as part of the units in the public offering ($8,712,864). In accordance with the alternative methods described in ASC Subtopic 480-10-S99-3A(15), “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities.” The Company has made an accounting policy election to accrete changes in the difference between the initial carrying amount and the redemption amount ($10.10 per share) over the period form the IPO date to the expected redemption date. For purposes of accretion, the Company has estimated that it will take 15 months for a Business Combination to occur and accordingly will accrete the carrying amount to the redemption value using the effective interest method over that period. Such changes are reflected in additional paid in capital, or in the absence of additional paid-in capital, in accumulated deficit.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

For purposes of calculating diluted income per common stock, the denominator includes both the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents is dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents potentially include shares and warrants using the treasury stock method.

As of March 31, 2022, 7,306,000 warrants were excluded from the diluted income per share calculation since the exercise price of the warrants is greater than the average market price of the common stock. As a result, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized. The effect of a change in tax rates or laws on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be realized from operations.

Tax benefits of uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain a position taken on an income tax return. The Company has no liability for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized as income tax expense. The Company does not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any significant interest expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — “Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2021 and the adoption of the ASU 2020-06 did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 4— Initial Public Offering

On September 14, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO and sold 6,900,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, which was inclusive of the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000. Each Unit that the Company sold had a price of $10.00 and consisted of one share of common stock, one warrant to purchase one share of common stock and one right. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of the completion of the initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the offering and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Each right entitles the holder to buy one tenth of one share of common stock. The common stock, warrants and rights comprising the Units will begin separate trading on the 52^nd day following September 13, 2021, the date of the filing of the final prospectus unless the underwriters, I-Bankers Securities, Inc., inform the Company of their decision to allow earlier separate trading, subject to the Company’s having filed the Current Report on Form 8-K with the accompanying audited balance sheet and having issued a press release announcing when such separate trading will begin. At the time that the common stock, warrants and rights comprising the Units begin separate trading, holders will hold the separate securities and no longer hold Units (without any action needing to be taken by the holders), and the Units will no longer trade.

All of the 6,900,000 shares of common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

The common stock is subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value over the period from the IPO date to the expected redemption date. The change in the carrying value of redeemable common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

As of March 31, 2022, the common stock reflected on the balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:

Note 5—Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Units, the Company sold 181,000 Private Placement Units to certain investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,460,000 and issued an additional 225,000 Private Placement Units to a Sponsor in exchange for the cancellation of approximately $1,105,000 in loans and a promissory note due to them. Each Private Placement Unit consisted of one share of common stock, one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share and one right.

Note 6—Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

In February 2021, the Sponsors subscribed for 2,875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for $28,750, or $0.01 per share, in connection with formation. In June 2021, 1,437,500 shares of the Founder Shares were re-purchased by the Company for a total of $14,375. In connection with the upsize of the IPO, on June 10, 2021, an additional 287,500 Founder Shares were issued via a 20% stock dividend, resulting in total Founder Shares outstanding of 1,725,000. All share amounts and related figures were retroactively adjusted.

In March 2021, Suresh Yezhuvath granted an aggregate of 16,668 Founder Shares to other investors (“Other Investors”) at no costs.

The Sponsors, Other Investors, Anchor Investors, directors and officer have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. The Company refers to such transfer restrictions as the “lock-up”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

Working Capital Loans – Sponsors

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsors or an affiliate of the Sponsors or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the loans.

Pre-IPO Promissory Note—Sponsor

On February 15, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to Yezhuvath, as and when required, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of this offering. The note was non-interest bearing and unsecured. As of March 31, 2022, all $300,000 of the note had been drawn down and fully repaid upon the closing of the IPO through the issuance of 30,000 Private Placement Units.

Pre-IPO Loans – Sponsors

Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company entered into an additional loan agreement with Yezhuvath to finance the expenses associated with preparing for the IPO as follows:

The Company entered into a loan agreement with Yezhuvath with the following terms:

Yezhuvath agreed to make an additional loan to the Company of $225,000 pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment which would only be drawn down at the time of the Business Combination. The proceeds would be used to pay a portion of the incremental underwriting discount on the over-allotment shares which the underwriter has agreed to defer the receipt of until a Business Combination is consummated. Yezhuvath has agreed to forgive this amount without any additional securities being issued against it.

On April 12, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Rao for an amount of $270,000. The loan did not bear interest and was unsecured. In connection with the successful IPO, the loan was forfeited and not repaid by the Company and was considered a capital contribution without any additional securities being issued.

Except as noted above, the Company does not anticipate any future borrowings from Sponsors or affiliates as working capital loans. As of March 31, 2022 there are no outstanding balances payable to related parties under any working capital loan agreements.

Due to Related Parties

The balance in Due to Related Parties totaling $43,890 consists of the following transactions:

Administrative Support Agreement

Commencing on the date of the IPO, the Company has agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of the management team, in the amount of $5,000 per month. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, it will cease paying these monthly fees. For the period ended March 31, 2022, the Company had incurred $15,000 pursuant to the agreement. For the period from January 21, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, the Company did not incur any fees for these services.

Note 7—Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of related party loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of this offering. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company registers such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company.

Underwriters Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 900,000 Units to cover over-allotments, which it fully exercised on the date of the IPO.

The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of 3% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or an aggregate of $2,070,000. Of this amount, $225,000 will be payable to the underwriters by a Sponsor solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a Business Combination marketing fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the sale of Units in the IPO upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

The Company issued the underwriter (and/or its designees) (the “Representative”) 393,000 shares of common stock for $0.01 per share (the “Representative Shares”) upon the consummation of the IPO. The Company accounted for the estimated fair value ($2,861,000) of the Representative Shares as an offering cost of the IPO and allocated such cost against temporary equity for the amount allocated to the redeemable shares and to expense for the allocable portion relating to the warrant liability. These shares of common stock issued to the underwriter are subject to an agreement in which the underwriter has agreed (i) not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, the underwriter (and/or its designees) has agreed (i) to waives its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such shares if it fails to complete the Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO. Accordingly, the fair value of such shares is included in stockholders’ equity. As of March 31, 2022, the Representative has not yet paid for these shares, and the amount owed of $3,930 is included in prepaid expenses on the balance sheets.

Other Investors

Other Investors were granted an aggregate of 16,668 Founder Shares at no costs from Suresh Yezhuvath in March 2021. The Company valued the Founder Shares at approximately $0.65 per share or $10,834 in the aggregate at the date of the grant.

The Other Investors have not been granted any stockholder or other rights that are in addition to those granted to the Company’s other public stockholders. The Other Investors will have no rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares held by them. The Other Investors will have the same rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the common stock underlying the Units they purchase at the IPO as the rights afforded to the Company’s other public stockholders.

The Company complies with SAB Topic 5.A to account for the valuation of the Founder Shares acquired by the Other Investors. The Founder Shares acquired by the Other Investors represent a capital contribution for the benefit of the Company and are recorded as offering costs and reflected as a reduction in the proceeds from the offering and offering expenses in accordance with ASC 470 and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. As such, upon the granting of the Founder Shares to the Other Investors the valuation of these shares were recognized as a deferred offering cost and charged to temporary equity and the statement of operations based on the relative fair value basis.

Anchor Investors

The Anchor Investors entered into separate letter agreements with the Company and the Sponsors pursuant to which, subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Anchor Investors purchased, upon the closing of the IPO on September 14, 2021, 181,000 Private Placement Units and 762,000 Founder Shares on September 9, 2021 (“Anchor Shares” in the total). The Company valued the Founder Shares at $7.48 per share at the date of the purchase.

The Anchor Investors have not been granted any stockholder or other rights that are in addition to those granted to the Company’s other public stockholders and purchased the Founder Shares for nominal consideration with an excess of the fair value of $3,244,453. Each Anchor Investor has agreed in its individually negotiated letter agreement entered into with the Company to vote its Anchor Shares to approve the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Anchor Investors will have no rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Anchor Shares held by them. The Anchor Investors will have the same rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the common stock underlying the Units they purchase at the IPO (excluding the common stock included in the Private Placement Units purchased) as the rights afforded to the Company’s other public stockholders.

The Company complies with SAB Topic 5.A to account for the valuation of the Founder Shares acquired by the Anchor Investors. The Founder Shares acquired by the Anchor Investors represent a capital contribution for the benefit of the Company and are recorded as offering costs and reflected as a reduction in the proceeds from the offering and offering expenses in accordance with ASC 470 and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. As such, upon sale of the Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors the valuation of these shares were recognized as a deferred offering cost and charged to temporary equity and the statement of operations based on the relative fair value basis.

Note 8 — Warrant Liability

The Company accounted for the 7,306,000 warrants issued in connection with the IPO and private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” whereby under that provision, the Private Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classified the Private Warrants as a liability at fair value and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. This liability will be re-measured at each balance sheet date until the Private Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Private Warrants was estimated using a modified Black-Scholes model. The valuation models utilize inputs such as assumed share prices, volatility, discount factors and other assumptions and may not be reflective of the price at which they can be settled. Such warrant classification is also subject to re-evaluation at each reporting period.

Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s Sponsors or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Company’s Sponsors or its affiliates, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the Market Value, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the Market Value.

The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 12 months from the closing of this offering or upon completion of its initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Redemption of warrants

The Company may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the private warrants, and any warrants underlying Units issued to the Sponsors, initial stockholders, officers, directors or their affiliates in payment of related party loans made to the Company), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” If management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock—On September 9, 2021, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to authorize the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock at par value of $0.01 each and with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors.

Common Stock—The Company was authorized to issue a total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock with par value of $0.01 each. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 3,961,500 shares of common stock issued and 2,524,000 shares of common stock outstanding, excluding 6,900,000 shares subject to possible redemption. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote. In connection with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, authorized shares were increased to 100,000,000. As of the consummation of the Company’s IPO on September 14, 2021, there were 9,424,000 shares of common stock issued, inclusive of those subject to possible redemption, consisting of (1) 6,900,000 shares related to the Units sold in the IPO, (2) 406,000 shares related to the Private Placement Units sold concurrently with the IPO, (3) 1,725,000 Founder Shares and (4) 393,000 Representative Shares.

Treasury Stock—On June 21, 2021 the Sponsors agreed to deliver the Company 1,437,500 shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Sponsors. The amount payable to Yezhuvath of $7,735 was repaid as part of the Private Placement Units issued to him (see Note 5) and the amount of $7,000 payable to Bannix Management LLP is included in Due to Related Parties as of March 31, 2022.

Rights—Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in the Business Combination, each holder of a right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock upon consummation of the Business Combination, even if the holder of a right converted all shares held by him, her or it in connection with the Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to its pre-Business Combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of the Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive his, her or its additional share of common stock upon consummation of Business Combination. The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company). If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of the rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of shares of common stock will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into common stock basis.
