NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2021
(Unaudited and Restated)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Quantum FinTech Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”)
was incorporated in Delaware on October 1, 2020. The Company is a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger,
share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or
more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). 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.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had not commenced
any operations. All activity through March 31, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial
Public Offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business
Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest.
The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
The registration statements for the Company’s
Initial Public Offering were declared effective on February 4, 2021. On February 9, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering
of 17,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public
Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $175,000,000, which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,562,500 warrants (each, a “Private Warrant” and, collectively, the
“Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant in a private placement to Quantum Ventures LLC (the “Quantum
Ventures”), who purchased 4,450,000 Private Warrants and Chardan Quantum LLC (“Chardan Quantum” and together with Quantum
Ventures, the “Co-Sponsors”) who purchased 1,112,500 Private Warrants, generating gross proceeds of $5,562,500, which is described
in Note 4.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering
on February 9, 2021, an amount of $175,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public
Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), invested in U.S. government
treasury bills, notes or bonds having a maturity of 185 days or less and/or (ii) in money market funds meeting certain conditions under
Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as determined by the Company,
until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account
to the Company’s stockholders, as described below.
On February 12, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised
their over-allotment option, resulting in an additional 2,625,000 Units issued for an aggregate amount of $26,250,000. In connection with
the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company also consummated the sale of an additional 590,625 Private
Warrants at $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating total proceeds of $590,625. A total of $26,250,000 was deposited into the Trust Account,
bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $201,250,000.
Transaction costs amounted to $5,017,526, consisting of $4,528,125
of underwriting fees, and $489,401 of other offering costs.
The Company’s management has broad discretion
with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants, although
substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance
that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete a Business Combination having
an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting
commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into an initial Business Combination.
The Company will only complete a 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”).
The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding
Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the
completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination
or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination
or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their
Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public 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).
There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.
QUANTUM FINTECH ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2021
(Unaudited and Restated)
The Company will proceed with a Business Combination
if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination
and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder
vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company
will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”),
conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and
file tender offer documents with the SEC containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement prior
to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides
to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation
pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with
a Business Combination, Quantum Ventures has agreed to vote its Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial
Public Offering (a) in favor of approving a Business Combination and (b) not to redeem any shares in connection with a stockholder vote
to approve a Business Combination or sell any shares to the Company in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination. Additionally,
each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction
or don’t vote at all.
The Co-Sponsors and the other holders of the Company’s
shares prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “initial stockholders”) have agreed (A) to vote their Founder Shares
and any Public Shares in favor of a Business Combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, prior to and unrelated to a Business
Combination, an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or
timing of the Company’s redemption obligation to redeem all Public Shares if the Company cannot complete a Business Combination
within 18 months (August 9, 2022) (or 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (February 9, 2023) if the Company has
executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for a Business Combination by August 9, 2022) unless the Company
provides public stockholders an opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment, (C) not to convert
any shares (including the Founder Shares) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote
to approve the Company’s Business Combination or sell any shares to the Company in a tender offer in connection with a Business
Combination, and (D) that the Founder Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a Business
Combination is not consummated.
The Company will have until August 9, 2022 (or
February 9, 2023, as applicable) to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to
complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of
winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not 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 taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public
Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive
further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such
redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve
and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements
of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants,
which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The initial stockholders have agreed to waive
their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination
Period. However, if the initial stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be
entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination
Period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution
will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust
Account, Quantum Ventures has agreed to 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 discussed entering into a transaction agreement,
reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $10.00 per Public Share, except as to any claims by a third party who executed
a valid and enforceable agreement with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any
monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of Initial Public
Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the insiders will not be responsible
to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company has sought and will continue to seek to reduce the possibility
that the insiders will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers
(except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which
the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies
held in the Trust Account.
Liquidity and Management’s Plan
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $467,961
in its operating bank accounts, $201,260,785 in marketable securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination
or to repurchase or redeem stock in connection therewith and an adjusted working capital of $960,337, which excludes franchise and income
taxes payable of $33,333, of which such amounts will be paid from interest earned on the Trust Account. As of March 31, 2021, approximately
$11,000 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is available to the Company for taxes and working
capital needs. Through March 31, 2021, the Company had not withdrawn any amounts from the Trust Account for such needs.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2021
(Unaudited and Restated)
In March 2021, the Sponsor committed to provide
the Company an aggregate of $500,000 in loans in connection with the Working Capital Loans as described in Note 5. The Company may raise
additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsors or its stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties.
The Company’s officers and directors and the Sponsors may, but are not obligated to (except as described above), loan the Company
funds, from time to time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital
needs.
Based on the foregoing, the Company believes it
will have sufficient cash to meet its needs through the earlier of consummation of a Business Combination or one year and one day from
the date of issuance of these financial statements.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues 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/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of
the date of the financial statement. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited 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 in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain
information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or
omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information
and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management,
the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2020, as
filed with the SEC on March 31, 2020. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”),
and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that
are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting
firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation
in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive
compensation and stockholder 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 statement 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 the condensed financial statements
in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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 financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise
significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances
that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near
term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
QUANTUM FINTECH ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2021
(Unaudited and Restated)
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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
At March 31, 2021, substantially all of the assets
held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities.
Offering Costs
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting,
and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting
to $5,008,178 were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, and $9,348 of the offering
costs were related to the warrant liability and charged to the statement of operations.
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified
or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance
in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers
whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480,
and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed
to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use
of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants
are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all
of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the
time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required
to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair
value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the Private warrants
was estimated using a binomial lattice model (see Note 9).
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject
to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at
fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including Common stock that features redemption rights that is 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 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, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the
stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method
of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases. 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 recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and
a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized
tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not
aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company
is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax
rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, due to the valuation allowance recorded on the Company’s net operating losses.

Net income per Common Share
Net income per share is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding shares of common stock subject
to forfeiture. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to
purchase an aggregate of 5,562,500 shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent
upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.
The Company’s statement of operations
includes a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method
of income per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted, for Common stock subject to possible redemption is calculated by
dividing the proportionate share of income or loss on marketable securities held by the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise and
income taxes, by the weighted average number of Common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.
Net income per share, basic and diluted,
for non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net income, adjusted for income or loss on marketable securities attributable
to Common stock subject to possible redemption, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period.
Non-redeemable common stock includes
Founder Shares and non-redeemable shares of common stock as these shares do not have any redemption features. Non-redeemable common stock
participates in the income or loss on marketable securities based on non-redeemable shares’ proportionate interest.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal
Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and
liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying
amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
QUANTUM FINTECH ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2021
(Unaudited and Restated)
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would
be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives
the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
|
●
|
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted)
for identical instruments in active markets;
|
|
●
|
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active
markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices
for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
|
|
●
|
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no
market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques
in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
|
In some circumstances, the inputs used
to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement
is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments
to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic
815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative
instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the
fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments
should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified
in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required
within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Recent Accounting Standards
Except as noted below, management does not believe
that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s
condensed financial statements.
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, 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 is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06
would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2A — RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED
FINANCIAL STATEMENT AS OF FEBRUARY 9, 2021
The Company previously accounted for its outstanding
Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and Private Warrants (collectively, with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) issued
in connection with its Initial Public Offering as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities. The warrant agreement governing
the Warrants includes a provision that provides for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of
the holder of the warrant. In addition, the warrant agreement includes a provision that in the event of a tender offer or exchange offer
made to and accepted by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of a single class of stock, all holders of the Warrants would
be entitled to receive cash for their Warrants (the “tender offer provision”).
On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the
Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting
considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting
Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”).
Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business
combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”).
QUANTUM FINTECH ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2021
(Unaudited and Restated)
In further consideration of the SEC Statement,
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. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s
common stock if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input
to the fair value of the warrant. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management,
concluded that the Company’s Private Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common stock in the manner contemplated by
ASC Section 815-40-15 because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares.
In addition, based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded that
the tender offer provision fails the “classified in stockholders’ equity” criteria as contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-25.
As a result of the above, the Company should have
classified the Warrants as derivative liabilities in its previously issued financial statement as of February 9, 2021. Under this accounting
treatment, the Company is required to measure the fair value of the Warrants at the end of each reporting period as well as re-evaluate
the treatment of the Warrants and recognize changes in the fair value from the prior period in the Company’s operating results for
the current period.
In accordance with ASC Topic 340, Other Assets
and Deferred Costs, as a result of the classification of the warrants as derivative liabilities, the Company expensed a portion of the
offering costs originally recorded as a reduction in equity. The portion of offering costs that was expensed was determined based on the
relative fair value of the Public Warrants and shares of common stock included in the Units.
The Company’s accounting for the Warrants
as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities did not have any effect on the Company’s previously reported investments
held in trust or cash.
The following tables summarize the effect of the restatement on each
financial statement line items as of February 9, 2021:

On February 12, 2021, in connection with the underwriters’
exercise of their over-allotment option in full, the fair value of the warrant liability increased by $1,967,438 to $16,091,188.
These amounts have been further restated as discussed
in Note 2B below.
NOTE 2B — RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company is filing this Amendment
1 to Form 10-Q/A (“Form 10-Q/A”) to amend the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31,
2021, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 24, 2021 (the “Original Report”),
to restate the Company’s financial statements and related footnote disclosures as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021
to correct an error noted below that was identified by the Company’s management.
On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director
of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting
considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting
Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “SEC Statement”).
The SEC Statement advises, among other things, that certain settlement terms and provisions generally present in SPAC warrants preclude
such warrants from being accounted for as equity.
As a result of the SEC Statement,
during the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company reevaluated the accounting treatment of the Public Warrants and Private Warrants
(each defined below) in consideration of the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, “Derivatives
and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” and concluded that the public and private warrants should be classified
as a liability measured at fair value at inception (on the date of issuance) and at each reporting, with changes in fair value recognized
in the statement of operations in the period of change, However, subsequent to filing of the Original Report, the Company determined
that the Public Warrants do not contain any of the settlement terms and provisions related to tender offers following a business combination,
and that the Public Warrants meet the criteria for being considered indexed to the issuer’s common stock, therefore, the Public
Warrants should be classified as equity instruments.
QUANTUM FINTECH ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2021
(Unaudited)
As a result, the Company’s
management, together with the Audit Committee, determined on July 8, 2021, that the Company’s financial statements and other
financial data as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the period ended March 31, 2021 should be restated in the Form 10-Q/A as a result of this error. These restatements and revisions result
in non-cash, non-operating financial statement corrections and will have no impact on the Company’s current or previously reported
cash position, operating expenses or total operating, investing or financing cash flows.
The table below summarizes the effects of the restatement of the February
9, 2021 balance sheet and the restatement of the March 31, 2021 financial statements from what was previously filed in the Original Report
as discussed above in Note 2A in the “As Restated” column.

NOTE 3. PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company
sold 20,125,000 Units, inclusive of 2,625,000 Units sold to the underwriters on February 12, 2021 upon the underwriters’ election
to fully exercise their over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one share of common stock
and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one-half share of common
stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (see Note 8).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, Quantum Ventures purchased an aggregate of 4,450,000 Private Warrants and Chardan Quantum purchased 1,112,500 Private
Warrants, in each case, at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,562,500, in a private placement.
On February 12, 2021, in connection with the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, the Company sold
an additional 590,625 Private Warrants to the Co-Sponsors, at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $590,625.
Each Private Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per full share, subject to adjustment
(see Note 8). The proceeds from the Private Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust
Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private
Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law).
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On October 23, 2020, Quantum Ventures purchased
4,312,500 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate price of $25,000. In January
2021, Quantum Ventures sold 813,500 Founder Shares to Chardan Quantum and 35,000 Founder Shares to each of the Company’s directors
and director nominees, in each case at the original price per share, resulting in Quantum Ventures holding a balance of 3,254,000 Founder
Shares. On February 4, 2021, the Company effected a stock dividend of 718,750 shares with respect to its common stock, resulting in the
initial stockholders holding an aggregate of 5,031,250 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 656,250 shares
subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the initial
stockholders will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming
the initial stockholders do not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering). As a result of the underwriters’ election
to fully exercise their over-allotment option on February 12, 2021, no Founder Shares are currently subject to forfeiture.
The initial stockholders have agreed, subject
to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until (1) with respect to 50% of the Founder
Shares, the earlier of six months after the completion of a Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the common
stock equals or exceeds $12.50 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 after a Business Combination and (2) with respect to the remaining
50% of the Founder Shares, six months after the completion of a Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to a
Business Combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of
the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company agreed, commencing on February 4,
2021, to pay Quantum Ventures a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial support. Upon completion of the
Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three months ended
March 31, 2021, the Company incurred and paid $20,000 in fees for these services.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On October 1, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured
promissory note to Quantum Ventures (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal
amount of $200,000. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) January 31, 2021 and (ii) the
completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was no balance and $130,100, respectively,
outstanding under the Promissory Note. The outstanding amount of $153,957 was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering on
February 9, 2021.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in
connection with a Business Combination, Quantum Ventures or an affiliate of Quantum Ventures, 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”). Such Working
Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without interest,
or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon completion of a Business Combination into warrants
at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Warrants. In the event that a Business Combination does
not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds
held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered
into on February 4, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, as well as the holders of the Private Warrants (and underlying securities)
and any warrants issued in payment of Working Capital Loans made to Company (and underlying securities) will have registration and stockholder
rights pursuant to an agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of a majority
of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the
insider shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares
of common stock are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Warrants (and underlying securities) can elect
to exercise these registration rights at any time after the consummation of a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain
“piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business
Combination. The registration and stockholder rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions
resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the
filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day
option to purchase up to 2,625,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting
discounts and commissions. On February 12, 2021, the underwriter’s elected to fully exercise the over-allotment option to purchase
an additional 2,625,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit.
Business Combination Marketing Agreement
The Company engaged the underwriters as advisors
in connection with a Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss the potential Business
Combination and the target business’s attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing
the Company’s securities in connection with the potential Business Combination, assist the Company in obtaining stockholder approval
for the Business Combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination.
NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred Stock — The Company
is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other
rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At March 31, 2021 and December
31, 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Common stock — The Company
is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s common
stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At March 31, 2021, there were 5,623,112 shares of Common stock issued and outstanding,
excluding 19,533,138 shares of Common stock subject to possible redemption. At December 31, 2020, there were 5,031,250 shares of Common
stock issued and outstanding.

NOTE 8. WARRANTS
As of March 31, 2021, there are 10,062,500 warrants
outstanding that are classified and accounted for as equity instruments. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) the
completion of a Business Combination or (b) one year from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. No Public Warrants will be
exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable
upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration
statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 120 days from
the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during
any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant
to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion
of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company
may redeem the Public Warrants:
|
●
|
in whole and not in part;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
at any time after the warrants become exercisable;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the shares of common stock equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations), for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.
|
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption,
management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,”
as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of 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, except as described below, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common stock at a price below its exercise price.
Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business
Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not
receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held
outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional
common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue
price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per 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 initial stockholders or their affiliates,
without taking into account any Founder Shares or Private Warrants held by the initial stockholders or their affiliates, as applicable,
prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more
than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation
of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of its common stock during the
20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its Business Combination (such price,
the “Market Value”) is below $9.50 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to
be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and Newly Issued Price, and the $16.50 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted
(to the nearest cent) to be equal to 165% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
As of March 31, 2021, there are 6,153,125 Private
Warrants that are outstanding that are classified and accounted for as derivative liabilities. Under this accounting treatment, the Company
is required to measure the fair value of the Warrants at the end of each reporting period as well as re-evaluate the treatment of the
Warrants and recognize changes in the fair value from the prior period in the Company’s operating results for the current period.
The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that (i) each
private warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, the Private Warrants and the shares
of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until after the completion
of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants will be exercisable for cash or on
a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their
permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the
Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
At March 31, 2021, assets held in the Trust Account
were comprised of $201,260,785 in money market funds which are primarily invested in U.S. Treasury securities. During the three months
ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account.
The following table presents information about
the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2021, and indicates the fair
value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities
in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on our balance sheet. The warrant liabilities are 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 consolidated statement of operations.
The Private Placement Warrants
were valued using a lattice model, specifically a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology, which is considered
to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Placement
Warrants is the expected volatility of our ordinary shares. The expected volatility of the Company’s ordinary shares was determined
based on the implied volatility of the Public Warrants.

Restatement
This
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been amended and restated to give
effect to the restatement of our unaudited financial statements as of and for the period ended March 31, 2021 (the
“Restatement”). In the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021, originally filed with the SEC
on May 24, 2021 (the “Original Report”), our public warrants were accounted for as liabilities within our balance sheet.
Our management and our audit committee have concluded that our public warrants should be presented as equities.
The Restatement is more
fully described in Notes 2A and 2B to the Notes to Financial Statements entitled “Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements.”
Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the
laws of the State of Delaware on October 1, 2020 for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”).
We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (defined below) and the sale
of the Private Warrants (defined below), our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs
in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor
generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through March 31, 2021 were formation, the initial public offering (“Initial
Public Offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business
Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating
income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public
company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we
had a net income of $1,742,262, which consists of the change in fair value of warrant liability of $1,969,000 and an unrealized gain on
marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $10,785, offset by operating costs of $237,523.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On February 9, 2021, we consummated the Initial
Public Offering of 17,500,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one warrant to
purchase one-half of one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 (the “Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating
gross proceeds of $175,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 5,562,500 private
warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant in a private placement to the Co-Sponsors, generating
gross proceeds of $5,562,500.
On February 12, 2021, in connection with the underwriters’
exercise of their over-allotment option in full, we consummated the sale of an additional 2,625,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit,
generating total gross proceeds of $26,250,000. In addition, we also consummated the sale of an additional 590,625 Private Warrants at
$1.00 per Private Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $590,625.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the full
exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Warrants, a total of $201,250,000 was placed in the Trust Account.
We incurred $5,017,526 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $4,528,125 of underwriting fees and $489,401 of other costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash
used in operating activities was $687,775. Net income of $1,742,262 was affected by unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the
Trust Account of $10,785, the change in fair value of warrant liability of $1,969,000 and transaction costs associated with the IPO of
$9,348. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $459,600 of cash for operating activities.
As of March 31, 2021, we had marketable securities
of $201,260,785 (including $10,785 of unrealized gains) held in a trust (the “Trust Account”), invested in U.S. government
treasury bills, notes or bonds having a maturity of 185 days or less and/or (ii) in money market funds meeting certain conditions under
Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as determined by the Company.
Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through March 31, 2021, we have not withdrawn any
interest earned from the Trust Account.
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 income taxes payable), to complete
our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our
Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the
target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of March 31, 2021, we had cash of $467,961.
We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence
on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their
representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate
and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies
or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, Quantum Ventures or an affiliate of Quantum Ventures, or certain
of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination,
we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a 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. The warrants would be identical to the Private
Warrants.
In March 2021, the Sponsor committed to provide
the Company an aggregate of $500,000 in loans in connection with the Working Capital Loans as described in Note 5. The Company may raise
additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsors or its stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties.
The Company’s officers and directors and the Sponsors may, but are not obligated to (except as described above), loan the Company
funds, from time to time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital
needs.
Based on the foregoing, the Company believes it
will have sufficient cash to meet its needs through the earlier of consummation of a Business Combination or one year and one day from
the date of issuance of these financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities,
which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2021. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships
with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established
for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements,
established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease
obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay Quantum Ventures a monthly fee of $10,000
for office space, utilities and secretarial support. We began incurring these fees on February 4, 2021 and will continue to incur these
fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.
We have engaged Chardan Capital Markets LLC, the
representative of the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering (“Chardan”), as an advisor in connection with a Business
Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target
business’s attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing the Company’s securities
in connection with the potential Business Combination, assist the Company in obtaining stockholder approval for the Business Combination
and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements
and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from
those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Warrant Liability
We account for warrants as either equity-classified
or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance
in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers
whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480,
and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed
to our own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment,
is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all
of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the
time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required
to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair
value of the private warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our common stock subject to possible
conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and 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 our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times,
common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be
outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption
is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our condensed balance sheets.
Net Income Per Common Share
We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings
per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Common stock subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the
interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes, if any, by the weighted average number of shares of Common stock
subject to possible redemption outstanding for the period. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for and non-redeemable common
stock is calculated by dividing total net income less income attributable to Common stock subject to possible redemption, by the weighted
average number of shares of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period presented.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, 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. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would
have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
