−Removed: In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach,

−Removed: the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

−Removed: Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
−Removed: Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied.

The excise tax is imposed on the

−Removed: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
−Removed: In August 2020,
−Removed: the FASB issued a new standard (ASU 2020-06) to reduce the complexity of accounting for convertible debt and other equity-linked
−Removed: For certain convertible debt instruments with a cash conversion feature, the changes are a trade-off between simplifications
−Removed: in the accounting model (no separation of an “equity” component to impute a market interest rate, and simpler analysis of
−Removed: embedded equity features) and a potentially adverse impact to diluted earnings per share by requiring the use of the if-converted method.
−Removed: The new standard will also impact other financial instruments commonly issued by both public and private companies.
−Removed: For example, the separation
−Removed: model for beneficial conversion features is eliminated simplifying the analysis for issuers of convertible debt and convertible preferred
−Removed: Also, certain specific requirements to achieve equity classification and/or qualify for the derivative scope exception for contracts
−Removed: indexed to an entity’s own equity are removed, enabling more freestanding instruments and embedded features to avoid mark-to-market
−Removed: The new standard is effective for companies that are SEC filers (except for smaller reporting companies) for fiscal years
−Removed: beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within that year, and two years later for other companies.
−Removed: Companies can
−Removed: early adopt the standard at the start of a fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020.
−Removed: The standard can either be adopted on a
−Removed: modified retrospective or a full retrospective basis.
−Removed: The adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2023 did not have a material effect on
−Removed: the Company’s financial statements.
−Removed: does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material

+Added: The amount of the excise tax is generally 1 %

+Added: However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax,
+Added: repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of
+Added: stock repurchases during the same taxable year.
+Added: In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax.
+Added: Department of the Treasury
+Added: (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or
+Added: avoidance of the excise tax.
+Added: The IRA applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.
+Added: Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs
+Added: after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax.
+Added: Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or
+Added: otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection
+Added: with the Company’s initial Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of the Company’s initial
+Added: Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the Company’s
+Added: initial Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination but issued within
+Added: the same taxable year of the Company’s initial Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance
+Added: from the Treasury.
+Added: In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics
+Added: of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined.
+Added: The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand
+Added: to complete the Company’s initial Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete its initial Business Combination.
+Added: As a result of the 4,791,507 shares of Class A common stock redeemed in June 2023, the Company accrued the 1 % excise tax in the amount
+Added: of $ 502,251 as a reduction of retained deficit since additional paid in capital was not available.
+Added: Because the Company did not complete a Business Combination by December
+Added: 31, 2023, any additional redemption or other repurchase that occurs in connection with an initial Business Combination may be subject
+Added: to the excise tax.
