INDUSTRIAL TECH ACQUISITIONS II, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Industrial Tech Acquisitions II, Inc. (the “Company”)
is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 4, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting
a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more
businesses (the “Business Combination”). While the Company may pursue an initial Business Combination target in any business,
industry or geographical location, the Company intends to focus its search on targets operating in the technology-focused areas including
software, mobile and Internet of Things (“IoT”) applications, digital and energy transformation, cloud and cyber communications
as well as high bandwidth services, including LTE, remote sensing and 5G communications.
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal
year end.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced
any operations. All activity for the period from January 4, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation,
the IPO (as defined below), and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not
generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates
non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO.
The Company’s sponsor is Industrial Tech
Partners II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
The registration statement (“IPO Registration
Statement”) for the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective on January 11, 2022. On
January 14, 2022, the Company consummated its IPO of 17,250,000 units (the “Units”), which included 2,250,000 Units issued
pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common
stock of the Company (the “Public Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (the “Public Warrants”).
Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of
$10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $172,500,000, which is discussed in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the
Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 8,037,500 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a purchase
price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $8,037,500, which is discussed in Note 4.
Transaction costs amounted to $10,799,030 consisting
of $3,450,000 of underwriting commissions, $6,900,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $449,030 of other offering costs, partially
offset by the reimbursement of $1,035,000 of offering expenses by the underwriters. The Company’s remaining cash after payment
of the offering costs is held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) for working capital purposes.
The Company’s Business Combination must
be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net balance in the Trust Account
(excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time
of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the
post-Business Combination 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”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully
effect a Business Combination.
On January 14, 2022, an amount of $175,950,000
($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed
in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and would be invested in United States “government securities” within the
meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain
conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.
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 $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the
Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of the initial
Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s

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 in its discretion. 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 at a per-share price, payable in cash,
equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business
Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise
and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in
the Trust Account is initially $10.20 per Public Share. The per-share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem
their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters.
All of the Public Shares 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 initial Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require
common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares were issued with other
freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants), the initial carrying value of Class A common stock classified as temporary equity would
be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Class A common stock is subject to ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable
that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) 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 (ii) 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 has elected to recognize
the changes immediately. While redemptions cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001, the Public
Shares are redeemable and would be classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.
If the Company is unable to complete the initial
Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up,
(ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but 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 its franchise and income taxes (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay
dissolution expenses), 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 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 its initial Business Combination
within the Combination Period.
The Sponsor, officers and directors 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 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, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the
Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the
Combination Period.
The Company’s Sponsor has agreed that it
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) $10.20 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 $10.20 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 the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified
whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities
of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

On November 21, 2022, the Company entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with NEXT Renewable
Fuels, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NEXT”), and ITAQ Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into NEXT, and NEXT will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, which will change its corporate name to “NXTCLEAN Fuels Inc.,” or such other name as mutually agreed
to by the Company and NEXT (the merger of Merger Sub into NEXT and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement collectively,
the “NEXT Business Combination”). Each stockholder of NEXT will receive newly-issued Company securities, including, as applicable,
shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and/or options or warrants pursuant to which the Company’s Class A common stock
will be issued, as further described below.
Merger Agreement Amendment
On April 14, 2023, the Company, NEXT and the Merger
Sub entered into Amendment No.1 to the Merger Agreement (the “Amendment”). The parties entered into the Amendment in
connection with the acquisition by Lakeview RNG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NEXT, of assets associated with the Red Rock Biofuels development
in Lake County, Oregon, which was effective on April 14, 2023 (the “Lakeview Transaction”). The Amendment revised the consideration
to be paid by the Company in the merger to provide for the issuance of a new class of preferred stock of the Company, to be designated
the Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) which is to be issued to the holders of the NEXT preferred stock
that was issued in connection with the Lakeview Transaction. Pursuant to the Amendment, each share of the NEXT preferred stock, which
has a stated value of $750,000 per share, shall be automatically converted into 75,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which has a
stated value of $10.00 per share. The issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to the holders of the NEXT preferred stock is in addition
to the issuance of the Company’s common stock to the holders of the NEXT common stock as provided in the Merger Agreement. The terms
of the issuance of the Company’s common stock remain unchanged.
Extension
On April 10, 2023, the Company held a special
meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend
the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business
Combination from April 14, 2023 to December 14, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company) (the
“Extension Amendment”). Stockholders holding 15,901,113 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro
rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, $165,137,380 ($10.38 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay
such holders. Following redemptions, the Company had 1,348,887 Public Shares outstanding.
On April 12, 2023, the Company issued a promissory
note (the “Extension Note”) in the principal amount of up to $280,000 to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed
to loan to the Company up to such amount in connection with the extension of the Company’s time to consummate a business combination
from April 14, 2023 to December 14, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company) (the “Extension”).
The Company will deposit $35,000, or approximately $0.026 per Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the Extension, into
the Company’s Trust Account (i) in connection with the first drawdown under the Extension Note and (ii) for each of the up to seven
subsequent calendar months (commencing on May 15, 2023 and ending on the 14th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that
is needed by the Company to complete an initial Business Combination. Such amounts will be distributed either to: (i) all of the holders
of Public Shares upon the Company’s liquidation or (ii) holders of Public Shares who elect to have their shares redeemed in connection
with the consummation of the Business Combination. The Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a)
the date of the consummation of the Business Combination or (b) the date of the liquidation of the Company. As of June 30, 2023, the Company
has deposited a total of $105,000 into the Trust Account in connection with the Extension payments. As of June 30, 2023, there was $0
outstanding under the Extension Note.
On April 12, 2023, the Company issued a second
promissory note in the principal amount of up to $300,000 to the Sponsor (the “Working Capital Loan Note” and, together with
the Extension Note, the “Notes”). The Working Capital Loan Note was issued in connection with advances the Sponsor has made,
and may make in the future, to the Company for working capital expenses. The Working Capital Loan Note bears no interest and is due and
payable upon the earlier to occur of (a) the date of the consummation of the Business Combination or (b) the date of the liquidation of
the Company, subject to the availability of funds outside of the Trust Account. As of June 30, 2023, there were $50,000 outstanding under
working capital loans.

Risks and Uncertainties
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 is not determinable as of the date of these condensed 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 condensed financial statements.
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.
As a result of the Extension Amendment, 15,901,113 shares of the Company’s
common stock were redeemed with a total redemption payment of $165,137,380. The Company recorded a liability of $1,651,374 for the excise
tax based on 1% of shares redeemed during the reporting period. For interim periods, an entity is not required to estimate future stock
repurchases and stock issuances to measure its excise tax obligation. Rather, an entity can generally record the obligation on an as-incurred
basis. In other words, the excise tax obligation recognized at the end of a quarterly financial reporting period is calculated as if the
end of the quarterly period was the end of the annual period for which the excise tax obligation is payable.
Liquidity, Going Concern and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $475,262
in its operating bank accounts which consisted of $101,435 classified as restricted cash to be utilized for tax payments only, and a working
capital deficit of $1,607,862, which excludes franchise and income taxes payable as such amounts can be paid from the interest earned
in the Trust Account. As of June 30, 2023, $2,389,034 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which
is available to pay the Company’s tax obligations.
In addition, in order to finance transaction
costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers
and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company working capital loans.
On April 12, 2023, Industrial Tech Acquisitions
II, Inc., a Delaware corporation issued a promissory note in the principal amount of up to $280,000 to the Sponsor, pursuant to which
the Sponsor agreed to loan to the Company up to such amount in connection with the extension of the Company’s time to consummate
a business combination from April 14, 2023 to December 14, 2023 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of
the Company). As of June 30, 2023, there was $0 outstanding under the Extension Note.
On April 12, 2023, the Company issued a second
promissory note in the principal amount of up to $300,000 to the Sponsor (the “Working Capital Loan Note” and, together with
the Extension Note, the “Notes”). The Working Capital Loan Note was issued in connection with advances the Sponsor has made,
and may make in the future, to the Company for working capital expenses. The Working Capital Loan Note bears no interest and is due and
payable upon the earlier to occur of (a) the date of the consummation of the Business Combination or (b) the date of the liquidation of
the Company, subject to the availability of funds outside of the Trust Account. As of June 30, 2023, there were $50,000 outstanding under
working capital loans.
In connection with the Company’s assessment
of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of
Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until December 14, 2023 (or such
earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company), to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the
Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to
fund the working capital needs of the Company until one year from the issuance of these financial statements. If a Business Combination
is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined
that the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, coupled with the Company’s
current liquidity, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been
made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 14, 2023. The Company
intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

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 year ended December 31, 2022, as
filed with the SEC on March 29, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”). The interim results for the three and six months ended June
30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“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 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. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these condensed financial
statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current
information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments
with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents
as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company held $475,262 and $451,473 in cash as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As
of June 30, 2023, $101,435 of the operating cash balance was classified as restricted cash to be utilized for tax payments only.
Investment held in Trust Account
At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, substantially
all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are primarily invested in U.S. Treasury securities.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible
Redemption
The Company’s Class A common stock sold
as part of the Units in the IPO contains a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with
the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business
Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies such Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent
equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Public Shares sold as part of the Units in
the IPO will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants) and as such, the initial carrying value of Public
Shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Public Shares are
subject to ASC 480-10-S99 and are currently not redeemable as the redemption is contingent upon the occurrence of events mentioned above.
According to ASC 480-10-S99-15, no subsequent adjustment is needed if it is not probable that the instrument will become redeemable.
At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Class
A common stock reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
The Company complies with the requirements of
ASC 340-10-S99-1, SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering,” and SEC Staff Accounting bulletin
Topic 5T – “Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s).” Offering costs consist principally
of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO. Offering costs directly attributable
to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction of equity. Offering costs for equity contracts
that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $10,799,030
as a result of the IPO (consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting commissions, $6,900,000 of deferred underwriting commissions and $449,030
of other offering costs), partially offset by the reimbursement of $1,035,000 of offering expenses by the underwriters. The Company immediately
expensed $27,670 of offering costs in connection with the Private Placement Warrants that were classified as liabilities.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company accounts for Private Placement Warrants
for shares of the Company’s common stock that are not indexed to its own shares as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet.
The Private Placement Warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as
a component of other income (expense), net on the statements of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes
in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liability related
to the warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC
740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities
and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation
allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of
June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. Our effective
tax rate was 148.33% and 4.56% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 31.15% and 0.98% for the six months
ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, due to changes in fair value of over-allotment option and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty
in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process
for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits
to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties
related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest
and penalties as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 taxation by
major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of
income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect
that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Net (Loss) Income per Share of Common Stock
Net (loss) income per share of common stock is
computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Remeasurement adjustment
associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from (loss) income per share of common stock as the redemption
value approximates fair value.
The Company’s statement of operations includes
a presentation of earnings per share for Class A and Class B common stock, applying the two-class method in calculating earnings per share
pursuant to ASC 260. Net (loss) income per common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the
redemption value approximates fair value. The Company has not considered the effect of the Private Placement Warrants in the calculation
of diluted (loss) income per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of June
30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could potentially be exercised or converted
into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per common stock is
the same as basic net (loss) income per share of common stock for the periods presented.
The following table reflects the calculation
of basic and diluted net (loss) income per common stock (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets
and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” approximates
the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the warrant liabilities (see
Note 8).

Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s assets
and liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
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. U.S. 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). The Company’s financial
instruments are classified as either Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. 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. |
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments
to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including
issued stock purchase warrants to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives,
pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments,
including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, will be re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
Derivative warrant liabilities will be classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require
the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06—
“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 for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. 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.
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements.
NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On January 14, 2022, the Company sold 17,250,000
Units, (which included 2,250,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option) at a purchase price of $10.00
per Unit. Each Unit that the Company offered had a price of $10.00 and consists of one share of Class A common stock, and one-half of
one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per
share, subject to adjustment. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the initial Business
Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination,
or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
On January 14, 2022, an amount of $175,950,000
($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed
in a Trust Account and would be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16)
of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7
promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
The Company’s Sponsor purchased an aggregate
of 8,037,500 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant ($8,037,500 in the aggregate) in a private placement that closed simultaneously
with the closing of the IPO. On January 14, 2022, in connection with the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment
option, the Company sold an additional 2,250,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement
Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $22,500,000. Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at
$11.50 per share. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held
by the Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the
Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable
by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the Units being sold in the IPO.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
The Sponsor, officers and directors 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 and Public Shares in connection
with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify
the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial
Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights
or pre-initial Business Combination activity 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, although they
will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails
to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The Company accounts for the Private Placement
Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the
criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability due to the existence of provisions whereby adjustments
to the exercise price of the Private Placement Warrants is based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed”
option and the existence of the potential for net cash settlement for the warrant holders (but not all stockholders) in the event of
a tender offer.
The accounting treatment of derivative financial
instruments requires that the Company record the Private Placement Warrants as derivative liabilities at fair value upon the closing
of the IPO. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability
will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company
will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the
warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On January 12, 2021, the Company issued 4,312,500
shares of Class B common stock to the initial stockholders for $25,000 in cash, or approximately $0.006 per share. The founder shares
included an aggregate of up to 562,500 shares subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised by the underwriters
in full. As of January 14, 2022, the over-allotment option was fully exercised and such shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer,
assign or sell their founder shares until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the date of the consummation of the Company’s
initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar
transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities
or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Company’s initial
stockholders with respect to any founder shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of Class A 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 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the founder shares will no
longer be subject to such transfer restrictions.
As previously disclosed in our IPO Registration
Statement, Meteora Capital Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and an affiliate of a member of our Sponsor (“Meteora”),
acted as a consultant to us in connection with our IPO. Upon the closing of the IPO, Meteora and one of its affiliates, together purchased
a total of 1,250,000 Units sold in the IPO at $10.00 per Unit.
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on the date of the IPO, the Company
has agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative
support. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For each
of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred and paid $30,000 and $60,000 in fees for these services, respectively.
For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred and paid $30,000 and $60,000 in fees for these services,
respectively.
Consulting Agreement
The Sponsor entered into a verbal consulting
agreement with Meteora pursuant to which it agrees to provide consulting services and advice, post the IPO, through the business combination
process for $172,500. The amount was paid and expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Promissory Notes — Related Party
On January 8, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured
promissory note to the Sponsor (the “IPO Promissory Note”), 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 the IPO. This loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier
of December 31, 2021 or the closing of the IPO.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there
was no amount outstanding under the IPO Promissory Note. The outstanding amount was repaid at the closing of the IPO on January 14, 2022.
The loan was repaid in full upon the closing of
the IPO out of the offering proceeds that have been allocated to the payment of offering expenses (other than underwriting commissions).
The Company overpaid $26,615 to the Sponsor, which was returned by the Sponsor on January 19, 2022.
On April 12, 2023, the Company issued a promissory
note in the principal amount of up to $280,000 to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to the Company up to such
amount in connection with the extension of the Company’s time to consummate a business combination from April 14, 2023 to December
14, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company). The Company will deposit $35,000, or approximately
$0.026 per Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the Extension, into the Company’s Trust Account for each of the
up to seven subsequent calendar months (commencing on May 15, 2023 and ending on the 14th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof,
that is needed by the Company to complete an initial Business Combination. Such amounts will be distributed either to: (i) all of the
holders of Public Shares upon the Company’s liquidation or (ii) holders of Public Shares who elect to have their shares redeemed
in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the
earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Business Combination or (b) the date of the liquidation of the Company. As of June
30, 2023, the Company has deposited a total of $105,000 into the Trust Account in connection with the Extension payments. As of June 30,
2023, there was $0 outstanding under the Extension Note.
On April 12, 2023, the Company issued a second promissory note in the
principal amount of up to $300,000 to the Sponsor. The Working Capital Loan Note was issued in connection with advances the Sponsor has
made, and may make in the future, to the Company for working capital expenses. The Working Capital Loan Note bears no interest and is
due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (a) the date of the consummation of the Business Combination or (b) the date of the liquidation
of the Company. As of June 30, 2023, there was $50,000 outstanding under the Working Capital Loan Note.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection
with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers
and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company
completes the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay such Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account
released to the Company. Otherwise, such Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the
event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust
Account to repay such Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such Working Capital Loans.
Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant
at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability,
and exercise period. As of June 30, 2023, there was $50,000 outstanding under the Working Capital Loan Note.
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS
Registration Rights
The holders of the founder shares, Private Placement
Warrants, shares of Class A common stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants, and securities that may be issued upon conversion
of Working Capital Loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities
held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO. 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.

Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters had a 45-day option from the
date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. As of January 14, 2022, the over-allotment
was fully exercised. The underwriters received a cash underwriting discount of approximately 2% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $3,450,000.
Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to
a deferred underwriting discount of 4.0% of the gross proceeds of the IPO upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business
Combination. The underwriters also agreed to reimburse the Company $1,035,000 for certain expenses incurred by the Company in connection
with the IPO if the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full. The Company received the reimbursement on January
14, 2022, upon full exercise of the over-allotment option.
Legal Fees
During 2022, the Company entered into a contingent
fee arrangement with a third-party legal firm. The fees, contingent upon a successful Business Combination, are $1,000,000. These fees
will only become payable upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination. In the event the Company does not complete a business
combination, the Company is solely obligated to pay $150,000 under the contingent fee arrangement. The Company has accrued $477,945 in
services provided through June 30, 2023 under this contract.
Financing Fees
During 2022, the Company entered into a contingent
fee arrangement with a third-party broker-dealer for the sale of securities. All fees to the third-party broker-dealer are contingent
upon the consummation of such sales. As compensation for services, the Company agreed to pay the broker-dealer a cash placement fee equal
to the sum of six percent (6.0%) of the first $50,000,000 of gross proceeds of any sale of securities to investors (excluding Identified
Investors), plus five percent (5.0%) of the gross proceeds of any sale in excess of $50,000,000, plus three percent (3.0%) of that portion,
if any, of the gross proceeds of any sale of securities. Such fees are payable upon the consummation of each such sale. The Company also
agreed to reimburse the broker-dealer for certain expenses up to $100,00 (i) monthly, (ii) upon the consummation of any sale of securities,
and (iii) upon any termination of the agreement. Further, the Company agreed to a structuring fee, contingent upon the closing of a Business
Combination, of $1,000,000 which will be offset by any funds raised under the fee arrangement. Such structuring fees are payable upon
the consummation of an initial Business Combination.

SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE REDEMPTION
Preferred Stock — The Company
is authorized to issue a total of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock at par value of $0.0001 each. At June 30, 2023 and December 31,
2022, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class A Common Stock —
The Company is authorized to issue a total of 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at par value of $0.0001 each. At June 30, 2023
and December 31, 2022, there were 1,348,887 and 17,250,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, which were presented
as temporary equity on the balance sheet as shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.
Class B Common Stock —
The Company is authorized to issue a total of 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock at par value of $0.0001 each. Up to 562,500 of
the founder shares were subject to forfeiture if the underwriters did not exercise their over-allotment option in full. Since the over-allotment
option was exercised in full, the forfeiture provision terminated and none of the founder shares are subject to forfeiture. As of June
30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 4,312,500 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. As of June 30, 2023, the over-allotment
option was fully exercised and such shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer,
assign or sell their founder shares until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the date of the consummation of the Company’s
initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar
transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities
or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Company’s initial
stockholders with respect to any founder shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of Class A 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 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the founder shares will no longer be
subject to such transfer restrictions.
The shares of Class B common stock will automatically
convert into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at the time of its initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis,
subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment
as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued
in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which shares
of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number
of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted
basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the IPO plus all shares of
Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination.
Except as otherwise provided in the Delaware General
Corporation Law, holders of the Class A common stock and holders of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all
matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders, with each share of common stock entitling the holder to one vote.
Public Warrants – Each warrant
entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A 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 of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities
for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price
of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by
the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder
shares held by the Sponsor 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 higher of the Market
Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal
to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The warrants will become exercisable on the later
of 12 months from the closing of the IPO or 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and will expire five years
after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption
or liquidation.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any
shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless
a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective
and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying its obligations described below with respect to
registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise
of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under
the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event
that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant
will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless, in which case the purchaser of
a unit containing such warrants shall have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the shares of Class A common stock underlying
such unit. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company
may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the Private Placement Warrants):
| ● | in
whole and not in part; |
| ● | at
a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
| ● | upon
not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder;
and |
| ● | if,
and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on each of 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on
the third business day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
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.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” the management
will consider, among other factors, the Company’s cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect
on the stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. If the
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 Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A
common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market
value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale
price of the Class A 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.
The Company issued 8,037,500 Public Warrants in
connection with the IPO and accounted for them in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that the
Public Warrants meet the criteria for equity treatment due to the existence of provisions whereby adjustments to the exercise price of
the warrants is based on a variable that is an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option and no circumstances
under which the Company can be forced to net cash settle the warrants.
Private Warrants – The Private
Placement Warrants were accounted for as liability in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within liabilities on the balance sheet.
The warrant liability is measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within the
change in fair value of warrant liability in the statements of operations (see Note 8).

INDUSTRIAL TECH ACQUISITIONS II, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model
to value the Private Placement Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at
the measurement dates due to the use of unobservable inputs. Inherent in pricing models are assumptions related to expected share-price
volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility
that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the Treasury zero-coupon yield curve
on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed
to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term.
The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation
model for the warrant liability were as follows at initial measurement:

NOTE 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions
that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review,
other than noted below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed
financial statements.
On July 10, 2023, the Company received a deficiency
notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying
the Company that for the last 37 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”)
was below the minimum of $35 million required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2)
(the “Market Value Standard”). This notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s
securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market and the Company’s Class A common stock, warrants and units will continue to trade under
the symbols “ITAQ,” “ITAQW” and “ITAQU,” respectively. The Staff also noted in a footnote that “the
Company also does not meet the requirements under Listing Rules5550(b)(1) and 5550(b)(3).” Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) is “Equity
Standard: Stockholders' equity of at least $2.5 million.” Listing Rule 5550(b)(3) is “Net Income Standard: Net income from
continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years.”
The Company’s listing is not based on the Equity Standard or the Net Income Standard.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C),
the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until January 8, 2024 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with
the Market Value Standard. The Notice states that to regain compliance, the Company’s MVLS must close at $35 million or more for
a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period, at which time Nasdaq will provide written notification that the
Company h The Company intends to actively monitor the Company’s MVLS between now and January 8, 2024, and may, if appropriate, evaluate
available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the MVLS requirement. While the Company is exercising diligent
efforts to maintain the listing of its securities on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain
compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.as achieved compliance under the Market Value Standard and the matter will be closed.
The Company anticipates that the closing under
the Merger Agreement will be completed prior to the expiration of the Compliance Period. In connection with closing on the Merger Agreement,
the Company, after giving effect to the Merger and any redemption of the publicly traded Class A Common Stock of the Company in connection
with such stockholder approval, will, as a condition to continued listing on Nasdaq, be required to meet the Nasdaq initial listing requirements.
The Company believes that it will meet such requirements, and thus will be in compliance with all applicable Nasdaq listing requirements
prior to the expiration of the Compliance Period. The Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 in connection with the Merger
Agreement and the meeting of stockholders at which it will seek stockholder approval of the Merger.
On July 13, 2023, in connection with the Extension
Note, the Company deposited $35,000 into the Trust Account.

Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the
laws of the State of Delaware on January 4, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock
purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. While we may pursue an initial Business Combination
target in any business, industry or geographical location, we intend to focus our search on targets operating in the technology-focused
areas including software, mobile and IoT applications, digital and energy transformation, cloud and cyber communications as well as high
bandwidth services, including LTE, remote sensing and 5G communications. We have not selected any specific Business Combination target
and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination
target. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement
Warrants, 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.
Next Business Combination and Extension
On November 21, 2022, the Company, NEXT and Merger
Sub entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub will be merged with and into NEXT, and NEXT will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, which will change its name to “NXTCLEAN Fuels Inc.,” or such other name as mutually agreed to by
the Company and NEXT; and (ii) each stockholder of NEXT will receive newly-issued Company securities, including, as applicable, shares
of Class A common stock and/or options or warrants pursuant to which Class A common stock will be issued. Prior to, and contingent upon,
the closing of the NEXT Business Combination, the Company is to effect a recapitalization pursuant to which all convertible debt shall
be converted into common stock.
On April 10, 2023, the Company held a special
meeting of stockholders. At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Extension Amendment, extending the date by which
the Company must consummate a Business Combination from April 14, 2023 to December 14, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the
board of directors of the Company). Stockholders holding 15,901,113 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro
rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, $165,137,380 ($10.38 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay
such holders. Following redemptions, the Company had 1,348,887 Public Shares outstanding. In connection with the extension, we will deposit
$35,000, or approximately $0.026 per Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the extension, into the Trust Account each
month, with the initial payment being made on April 14, 2023, with up to seven subsequent payments to be made on the 14th of the month,
commencing May 14, 2023. Such amounts will be added to the Trust Account. As of June 30, 2023, the funds in the Trust Account were
$14,499,588.
On April 14, 2023, the Company, NEXT and the Merger
Sub entered into Amendment No.1 to the Merger Agreement. The parties entered into the Amendment in connection with the acquisition
by Lakeview RNG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NEXT, of assets associated with the Red Rock Biofuels development in Lake County, Oregon,
which was effective on April 14, 2023. The Amendment revised the consideration to be paid by the Company in the merger to provide for
the issuance of a new class of preferred stock of the Company, to be designated the Series A Preferred Stock, which is to be issued to
the holders of the NEXT preferred stock that was issued in connection with the Lakeview Transaction. Pursuant to the Amendment, each share
of the NEXT preferred stock, which has a stated value of $750,000 per share, shall be automatically converted into 75,000 shares of Series
A Preferred Stock, which has a stated value of $10.00 per share. The issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to the holders of the NEXT
preferred stock is in addition to the issuance of the Company’s common stock to the holders of the NEXT common stock as provided
in the Merger Agreement. The terms of the issuance of the Company’s common stock remain unchanged.
On April 14, 2023, in connection with the execution
and delivery of the Amendment and execution of the agreement relating to the Lakeview Transaction, the Company and NEXT entered into voting
and support agreements (collectively, the “Preferred Stock Voting Agreements”) with certain holders of NEXT preferred stock
issued in connection with the Lakeview Transaction. Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Voting Agreements, the holders agreed to vote all
of such stockholder’s shares of NEXT (i) in favor of the NEXT Business Combination, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby and the other matters to be submitted to the NEXT’s stockholders for approval in connection with the transactions, and each
holder agreed to take (or not take, as applicable) certain other actions in support of the Merger Agreement and the transactions, and
(ii) to vote the shares in opposition to: any acquisition proposal and any and all other proposals (x) for the acquisition of NEXT, or
(y) which are in competition with or materially inconsistent with the Merger Agreement, in each case in the manner and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Preferred Stock Voting Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders shall not be required to take
any action or deliver any instrument in the event that the Merger Agreement has been amended or modified, without the holders’ consent,
(i) in a manner that is disproportionately adverse to the holders of the NEXT preferred stock held by such holders as compared to the
holders of the other classes or series of NEXT equity securities or (ii) that would result in the holders not receiving NXTCLEAN Fuels
Inc. Series A Preferred Stock as contemplated by certain subscription agreements, dated as of April 14, 2023, by and between the holders
and NEXT. The Preferred Stock Voting Agreements prevent transfers of the securities held by the holders thereto between the date of the
Preferred Stock Voting Agreement and the date of closing of the NEXT Business Combination, except for certain permitted transfers where
the recipient also agrees to comply with the Preferred Stock Voting Agreement.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor
generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from January 4, 2021 (Inception) through June 30, 2023 were organizational activities,
those necessary to prepare for the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination, negotiation the Merger Agreement, obtaining
stockholder approval of an extension of the date by which the Company must complete its first Business Combination, negotiating financing
in connection with the Merger with NEXT and seeking stockholder approval. 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 June 30, 2023, we had
a net loss of $33,717, which consists of operating costs of $380,367, change in fair value of warrant liability of $52,043 and provision
for income taxes of $103,483, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account and bank account of $502,176.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had
a net income of $656,661, which consists of operating costs of $363,006 and provision for income taxes of $31,408, offset by interest
income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account and bank account of $248,747 and change in fair value of warrant liability of
$802,328.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had
a net income of $1,085,227, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account and bank account of $2,397,288
and change in fair value of warrant liability of $128,157, offset by operating costs of $949,261 and provision for income taxes of $490,957.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had
a net income of $3,184,693, which consists of operating costs of $856,662 and offering costs allocated to warrants at the IPO date of
$27,670, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account and bank account of $250,009 and change in fair
value of warrant liability of $3,850,424.
Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results
of Operations
Our results of operations and our ability to complete
an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the
financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial
markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines
in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants,
and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or
more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to
complete an initial Business Combination.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
On January 14, 2022, we consummated our IPO of
17,250,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we completed
the private sale of an aggregate of 8,037,500 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating
gross proceeds of $8,037,500.
Following the IPO, the full exercise of the over-allotment
option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $175,950,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $10,799,030
in the IPO related costs, including $3,450,000 of underwriting commissions, $6,900,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $449,030
of other offering costs, partially offset by the reimbursement of $1,035,000 of offering expenses by the underwriters.
On April 10, 2023, we held a special meeting of
stockholders at which our stockholders approved the extension of the date by which we must consummate a Business Combination from April
14, 2023 to December 14, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by our board of directors). In connection with the vote to approve
the extension, the holders of our Public Shares had the right, with certain limited exceptions, to have their Public Shares redeemed.
In connection with such extension, stockholders holding 15,901,113 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares, and, as
a result, $165,137,380 ($10.38 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders, leaving a balance of approximately $14
million after the redemption payments. As a result of the redemptions, the number of Public Shares decreased from 17,250,000 shares
to 1,348,887 shares. In connection with the extension, we will deposit $35,000, or approximately $0.026 per Public Share that was
not redeemed in connection with the extension, into the Trust Account each month, with the initial payment being made on April 14, 2023,
with up to seven subsequent payments to be made on the 14th of the month, commencing May 14, 2023. Such amounts will be added to
the Trust Account.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used
in operating activities was $1,265,687. Net income of $1,085,227 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the
Trust Account of $2,389,034, change in fair value of the warrant liability of $128,157 and change in the deferred tax provision of $107,031.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $273,308 in cash for operating activities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used
in operating activities was $1,084,702. Net income of $3,184,693 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the
Trust Account of $249,501, financing costs of warrant issuance of $27,670, and change in fair value of the warrant liability of $3,850,424.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $197,940 in cash for operating activities.
As of June 30, 2023, we had marketable securities
held in the Trust Account of $14,499,588 (including $2,389,034 of interest income) consisting of securities held in a money market fund
with a maturity of 180 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through June
30, 2023, we have withdrawn $1,344,476 of interest earned from the Trust Account to pay taxes obligation and $165,137,380 in connection
with redemptions.
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 June 30, 2023, we had cash of $475,262 which
consisted of $101,435 classified as restricted cash to be utilized for tax payments only. 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, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their
affiliates 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 Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option
of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
In connection with the Company’s assessment
of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASU 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability
to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until December 2023, to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that
the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity
to fund the working capital needs of the Company until one year from the issuance of these financial statements. If a Business Combination
is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined
that the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities
should the Company be required to liquidate in April 2023. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory
liquidation date.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements
as of June 30, 2023.
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 an affiliate of the Sponsor a total
of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination
or liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting
discount of 4.0% of the gross proceeds of the IPO upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination.
During 2022, we entered into a contingent fee
arrangement with a third-party legal firm. The fees, contingent upon a successful Business Combination, are $1,000,000. These fees will
only become payable upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination. In the event we do not complete a business combination,
we are solely obligated to pay $150,000 under the contingent fee arrangement. We have accrued $477,945 in services provided through June
30, 2023 under this contract.
During 2022, we entered into a contingent fee
arrangement with a third-party advisor for the sale of securities. All fees to the third-party advisor are contingent upon the consummation
of such sales. As compensation for services, we agreed to pay the advisor a cash placement fee equal to the sum of six percent (6.0%)
of the first $50,000,000 of gross proceeds of any sale of securities to investors (excluding Identified Investors), plus five percent
(5.0%) of the gross proceeds of any sale in excess of $50,000,000, plus three percent (3.0%) of that portion, if any, of the gross proceeds
of any sale of securities. Further, we agreed to a structuring fee, contingent upon the closing of a Business Combination, of $1,000,000
which will be offset by any funds raised under the fee arrangement. These fees are payable upon the consummation of an initial 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
The Company accounts for Private Placement Warrants
for shares of the Company’s common stock that are not indexed to its own shares as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet.
The Private Placement Warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a
component of other income (expense), net on the statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes
in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liability related
to the warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible
Redemption
The Company’s Class A common stock sold
as part of the Units in the IPO contains a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with
the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business
Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies such Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity
as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Public Shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO
will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants) and as such, the initial carrying value of Public Shares classified
as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Public Shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99
and are currently not redeemable as the redemption is contingent upon the occurrence of events mentioned above. According to ASC 480-10-S99-15,
no subsequent adjustment is needed if it is not probable that the instrument will become redeemable.
Net (Loss) Income Per Share of Common Stock
Net (loss) income per share of common stock is
computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Remeasurement adjustment
associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from (loss) income per share of common stock as the redemption
value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06—
“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 for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. 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.
Management does not believe that any other recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined
by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls
and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure
controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the Exchange Act, under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15I and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based
on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end
of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, due to the lack of controls needed to assure we are differentiating expenses incurred
in connection with business combination transactions and should be expensed, from those that apply to financing transactions which should
be deferred and recorded as a reduction of proceeds upon the completion of a financing transaction. In addition, we lacked controls and
procedures over financial reporting and review of financial statements, as well as over recording of accruals. The above deficiencies
constitute material weakness in our internal controls as of June 30, 2023. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary
to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements
included in this Quarterly Report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the period presented.
Management intends to implement additional remediation
steps to improve our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over the review of all transactions and expenses. While
we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to continue to enhance our system of
evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that apply to our condensed financial statements, including through enhanced analyses
by our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation
plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
We believe our efforts will enhance our controls relating to accounting for complex financial transactions, but we can offer no assurance
that our controls will not require additional review and modification in the future as industry accounting practice may evolve over time.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls
and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits
must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances
of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Other than as discussed above, there have been
no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART
–I - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
To the knowledge of our management team, there
is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any
of our property.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2
of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Quarterly Report. However, as of the date of this Quarterly Report,
other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our (i)
IPO Registration Statement, (ii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on August 15,
2022, (iii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on November 9, 2022, (iv) 2022
Annual Report, (v) Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2022, and (iv) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the period ended March 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on May 15, 2023. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material
adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or
ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors
from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
and Use of Proceeds.
None. For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our initial
public offering and private placement, see Part II, Item 5 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as
filed with the SEC on April 11, 2022. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering
and private placement as described in the IPO Registration Statement.
