TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1—Description
of Organization and Business Operations
BYTE Acquisition Corp. (the
“Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 8, 2021. The Company was
formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination
with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). While the Company may pursue an initial business combination target
in any business or industry, it intends to focus its search for targets in the Israeli technology industry, including those engaged in
cybersecurity, automotive technology, fintech, enterprise software, cloud computing, semiconductors, medical technology, AI and robotics
and that offer a differentiated technology platform and products. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such,
the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company
had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from January 8, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s
formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) and since the closing of the initial public offering,
the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion
of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest and other income on investments
of the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The
Company’s sponsor is Byte Holdings LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the “Sponsor”). The registration
statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on March 17, 2021. On March 23, 2021, the Company consummated
its Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in
the Units, the “Public Shares”), at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 300.0 million, and incurring underwriting
fees and other offering costs of approximately $ 17.2 million, inclusive of approximately $ 10.5 million in deferred underwriting commissions
(see Note 6). The underwriter was granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering
to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $ 10.00 per Unit. On April 7, 2021, the underwriter exercised
the over-allotment option in part and purchased an additional 2,369,251 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross
proceeds of $ 23,692,510 (see Note 11).
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 1,030,000
Units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total gross proceeds of
$ 10.3 million (see Note 4) .
Upon the closing of the Initial
Public Offering and the Private Placement, $300.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain
of the proceeds of the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and will be invested in U.S. government
securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment
Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market
fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the
completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders,
as described below. In addition, the Company transferred an excess amount of $900,000 into the Trust Account upon closing of the Initial
Public Offering. If the over-allotment was not exercised, such amount would be transferred back into the Company’s operating bank
account.
The Company’s management
has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private
Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination.
The Company must complete its initial Business Combination with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal
to at least 80 % of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions held in the
Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination
if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or
otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company
under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
5
BYTE
ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company will provide its
shareholders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public
Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business
Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination
or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro
rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account (at $ 10.00 per share), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion
of a Business Combination, including any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to
the Company to pay its tax obligations. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect
to the Company’s warrants. The Class A ordinary shares were recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity in accordance
with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”).
If the Company seeks shareholder
approval, the Company will complete a Business Combination only if it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving
a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who vote at a general meeting of the Company.
If a shareholder vote is not required under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold
a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association,
conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender
offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing
a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor agreed to vote
its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Units (the “Private Placement
Shares”) and any Public Shares purchased in or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination and
to waive its redemption rights with respect to any such shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination.
However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $ 5,000,001 .
In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Business Combination, and instead
may search for an alternate Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares, without
voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules,
the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any
affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined
under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming
its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15 % of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.
The Sponsor agreed (a) to waive
its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business
Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance
or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination
within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or
pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public
Shares in conjunction with any such amendment and (iii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect
to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination.
The Company will have until
24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or March 23, 2023 (the “Combination Period”) to complete a Business
Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all
operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than 10 business days thereafter,
redeem 100% of the outstanding 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 (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided
by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders
(including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such
redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate,
subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable
law.
6
BYTE
ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Sponsor agreed to waive
its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination
within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares
will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the
Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust
Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts
will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event
of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the
Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($ 10.00 ).
The Sponsor 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 by a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar
agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (1) $10.00 per Public
Share and (2) 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 $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of trust assets, less taxes payable. This 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 nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover,
in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent
of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify
the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent
public accountants), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the
Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
As of June 30, 2021, the Company
had approximately $ 1.8 million in its operating bank account and working capital of approximately $ 2.7 million.
The Company’s liquidity
through the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $ 25,000 from the Sponsor to cover certain
offering costs on behalf of the Company in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares (as defined below), the loan under the Note
from the Sponsor of approximately $ 149,000 (see Note 5) to the Company, and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement
not held in the Trust Account. The Company fully repaid the Note on March 25, 2021. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs
in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s officers, directors and Initial Shareholders may, but are not obligated
to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 5). To date, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
Based on the foregoing, management
believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation
of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing
accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective
target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating
and consummating the Business Combination.

Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the condensed
balance sheet. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2—Basis
of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles
(“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and for the period from January
8, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December
31, 2021.
The accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form
8-K and the final prospectus filed by the Company with the SEC on March 29, 2021 and March 19, 2021, respectively.
In April 2021, the Company
identified an error in its accounting treatment for both its public and private warrants (Warrants) as presented in its audited balance
sheet as of March 23, 2021 included in its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed March 29, 2021. The Warrants were reflected as a component
of equity as opposed to liabilities on the balance sheet. The impact of the error correction is reflected in the unaudited condensed financial
statements contained herein which resulted in a $ 14.4 million increase to derivative liabilities and offsetting decrease to Class A ordinary
shares subject to possible redemption to the March 23, 2021 balance sheet. There was an impact on the offering costs allocated to warrant
liability.
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
auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive
compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote
on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1)
of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until
private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class
of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS
Act provides that an emerging growth 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 an 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 condensed financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth
company nor an emerging growth company that 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 financial
statements in conformity with U.S. 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. 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 unaudited condensed financial statements, which management
considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual
results could differ significantly from those estimates.
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 had no cash equivalents
held outside the Trust Account as of June 30, 2021.
Investments Held in Trust Account
The Company’s portfolio
of investments is comprised solely of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company
Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally
have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised
of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the
Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in
money market funds are presented on the condensed balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting
from the change in fair value of these securities is included in income from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited
condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available
market information.
Concentration of Credit
Risk
Financial instruments that
potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times,
may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $ 250,000 , and investments held in Trust Account. At June 30, 2021, the Company
has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
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,” equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheet.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the
price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. 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). These consist of:
●
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices 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.

BYTE
ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In
some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In
those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input
that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Derivative Warrant
Liabilities
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 and forward purchase agreements, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain
features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC
815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as
equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
The Public Warrants and
the Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement are recognized as
derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. In addition, based on management’s evaluation, the tender offer provision
fails the indexation criteria as contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-25. As a result, the Company accounts for the Public Warrants as
a liability. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to
fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and
any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed statements of operations. The initial estimated fair value
of the warrants was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. The subsequent estimated fair value of the Public Warrants is based on
the listed price in an active market for such warrants while the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants continues to be
measured using a Monte Carlo simulation.
Offering Costs Associated
with the Initial Public Offering
Offering costs consisted of
legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement that were directly
related to the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued
in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering
costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the condensed statements
of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion
of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement. Deferred underwriting commissions are 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.
Class A Ordinary Shares
Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to
mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A
ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or
subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary
equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary
shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence
of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2021, 28,971,558 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented
as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheet.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income
taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized
in an enterprise’s financial statement 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. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman
Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. 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, 2021. 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 considered an
exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or
the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented. The Company’s management does not
expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
Net income (loss) per share
is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods. The Company
has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase up to an aggregate
of 16,699,626 of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of the diluted income per share, since their inclusion
would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.
The Company’s unaudited
condensed statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per ordinary share for shares subject to possible redemption
in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income (loss) per ordinary share, basic and diluted, for Class
A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income or loss on investments held
by the Trust Account, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.
Net income (loss) per share,
basic and diluted, for non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), adjusted for income or loss on
investments held in the Trust Account attributable to ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, by the weighted average number of
non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the period.
Non-redeemable common stock
includes Founder Shares (as defined below) and non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares, which have been classified as non-redeemable as
of June 30, 2021, to maintain permanent equity of at least $5,000,001. These shares do not have any redemption features. Non-redeemable
ordinary shares participate in the income or loss on investments held in the Trust Account based on non-redeemable shares’ proportionate
interest.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s
Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”),
which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. The ASU
also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception,
and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 8, 2021 (inception).
Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management

Note 3—Initial
Public Offering
On
March 23, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 Units, at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds
of $ 300.0 million, and incurring underwriting fees and other offering costs of approximately $ 17.2 million, inclusive of approximately
$ 10.5 million in deferred underwriting commissions .
On
April 7, 2021, the underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in part and purchased the Over-Allotment Units, generating gross proceeds
of $ 23,692,510 , and 532,687 Founder Shares were subsequently forfeited by the Sponsor.
Each Unit consists of one Class
A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder
to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).
Note 4—Private
Placement
Simultaneously with the closing
of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 1,030,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $ 10.00
per Private Placement Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $ 10.3 million.
The proceeds from the sale
of the Private Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company
does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the private placement warrants underlying the Private Placement
Units (the “Private Placement Warrants”) will expire worthless.

Founder Shares
On January 22, 2021, the Sponsor
paid an aggregate of $ 25,000 to cover certain offering costs of the Company in consideration for 8,625,000 of the Company’s Class
B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 1,125,000 shares subject to forfeiture
by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder
Shares would collectively represent 20 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares upon the completion of the Initial Public
Offering (excluding the Private Placement Shares). On April 7, 2021, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in part, and
532,687 Founder Shares were subsequently forfeited by the Sponsor.
The Sponsor agreed, subject
to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the
completion of a Business Combination; and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares
equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and
the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 120 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the
date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that

Related Party Loans
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

Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without interest,
or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $ 1,500,000 of the notes may be converted upon completion of a Business Combination into private
placement-equivalent units at a price of $ 10.00 per unit. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. In the event that
a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital
Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms
of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of June

Administrative
Services Agreement
The
Company entered into an agreement that provides that, commencing on effective date of the Initial Public Offering, the Company agreed
to pay the Sponsor $ 10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services. Upon completion of
a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. During the three months ended June 30, 2021
and the period from January 8, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021 the Company incurred $ 30,000 and $ 40,000 of such fees, reported

date of the Initial Public Offering requiring the Company to register a sale of any of the securities held by them, including any other
securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The holders
of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities.
In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent
to the completion of a Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration
statements.

Agreement
The
Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial
Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions .
On April 7, 2021, the underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in part and purchased the
Over-Allotment Units, generating gross proceeds of $ 23,692,510 (see Note 11).
The
underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $6.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing
of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters were entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $10.5 million in
the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event
that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

The
Company is registering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants in the registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part because the warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of its initial business combination,
which may be within one year of this offering. However, because the warrants will be exercisable until their expiration date of up to
five years after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, in order to comply with the requirements of Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act following the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, under the terms of the
warrant agreement, the Company agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of
its initial business combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part or a new registration statement covering the registration under the Securities Act of
the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and thereafter will use its best efforts to cause the same to become
effective within 60 business days following its initial business combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class
A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the
warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective
by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration
statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants
on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. In addition, if the
Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy
the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require
holders of the Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9)
of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company elects to do so, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a
registration statement, but it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent
an exemption is not available.
Redemption
of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00:
Once
the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the outstanding warrants for redemption (except as described with respect to the
Private Placement Warrants):
●
in
whole and not in part;
●
at
a price of $0.01 per warrant;
●
upon
a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
●
if,
and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions,
share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending
three business days before the Company sends to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”).
If
and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register
or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
Redemption
of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00:
Once
the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:
● in whole and not in part;
● at a price of $0.10 per Public Warrant;
● upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder;
● if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per Public Share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and
● if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.
If
the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that
wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise
price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including
in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except
as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally,
in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination
within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive
any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held
outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection
with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $ 9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with
such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of
any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates,
as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent
more than 60 % of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination, and (z) the volume
weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the
day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $ 9.20 per share, then
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
Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except
that (x) the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants
will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited
exceptions, (y) the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held
by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees and (z) the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable
upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will be entitled to registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by
someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company
and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Transfers
to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants was
transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 measurement in May 2021, when the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded
in an active market. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level
2 measurement in May 2021, as the key inputs to the valuation model became directly or indirectly observable from the Public Warrants
listed price.
The
initial estimated fair value of the warrants was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. The subsequent estimated fair value of the
Public Warrants is based on the listed price in an active market for such warrants while the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants
continues to be measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and for the period from January 8,
2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021, the Company recognized a loss resulting from changes in the fair value of derivative warrant
liabilities of approximately $ 4.4 million and $ 4.7 million, respectively, which is presented in the accompanying condensed statements
of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
References
to the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to BYTE Acquisition Corp. The following discussion
and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed
financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis
set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking
statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,”
“could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,”
“estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Such statements include,
but are not limited to, possible business combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, as well as all other statements
other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include,
but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.
Overview
We
are a blank check company incorporated on January 8, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger,
share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities
(the “Business Combination”), that we have not yet identified. While we may pursue an initial business combination target
in any business or industry, we intent to focus our search for targets in the Israeli technology industry, including those engaged in
cybersecurity, automotive technology, fintech, enterprise software, cloud computing, semiconductors, medical technology, AI and robotics
and that offer a differentiated technology platform and products. Our sponsor is Byte Holdings LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited
partnership (our “Sponsor”).
Our
registration statement for our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on March 17,
2021. On March 23, 3021, we consummated its Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to
the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross
proceeds of $300.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $17.2 million, inclusive of approximately $10.5 million in
deferred underwriting commissions. On April 7, 2021, the underwriter exercised the over-allotment
option in part and purchased an additional 2,369,251 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating additional gross proceeds
of $23,692,510.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 1,030,000
Units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total gross proceeds of
$10.3 million.
18
Upon
the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $300.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale
of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and certain of proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust
Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested in United States “government
securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 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, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the
distribution of the Trust Account to the shareholders.
If
we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or March 23, 2023,
we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than 10 business
days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding 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 (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses),
divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights
as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible
following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate,
subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable
law.
Results
of Operations
Our
entire activity since inception through June 30, 2021 related to our formation, the preparation for the Initial Public Offering, and
since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We have neither engaged
in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial
Business Combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. We expect to
incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance),
as well as for due diligence expenses.
For
the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had net loss of approximately $4.7 million, which primarily consisted of a noncash loss of approximately
$4.4 million resulting from changes in fair value of derivative liabilities, approximately $294,000 general and administrative expenses
and a non-operating expense of approximately $68,000 related to offering costs for derivative liabilities, partially offset by income
from investments held in the Trust Account of $10,000.
For
the period from January 8, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021, we had net loss of approximately $5.9 million, which primarily consisted
of a noncash loss of approximately $4.7 million resulting from changes in fair value of derivative liabilities, approximately $457,000
general and administrative expenses and a non-operating expense of approximately $845,000 related to offering costs for derivative liabilities,
partially offset by income from investments held in the Trust Account of $11,000.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of June 30, 2021, we had approximately $1.8 million in our operating bank account and working capital of approximately $2.7 million.
Our
liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering had been satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor
to cover certain expenses on our behalf in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares (as defined below), a loan under a note agreement
from our Sponsor of approximately $149,000 (the “Note”), and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement
not held in the Trust Account. We fully repaid the Note on March 25, 2021. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection
with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated
to, provide us working capital loans. To date, there were no amounts outstanding under any working capital loans.
Based
on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from our Sponsor or an affiliate
of our Sponsor, or our officers and directors to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or
one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and
evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for
travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business
Combination.
19
We
continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of
the date of the condensed balance sheet. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Contractual
Obligations
We
do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term
liabilities, other than an administrative services agreement to pay our Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial
and administrative support services provided to us.
Critical
Accounting Policies
This
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation
of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our unaudited condensed financial statements. On an ongoing basis,
we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base
our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We
have identified the following as its critical accounting policies:
Derivative
Liabilities
We
do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial
instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants and forward purchase agreements, to determine if such instruments are derivatives
or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and
FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including
whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
The
warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities
in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments
to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and
any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed statements of operations. The initial estimated fair value of
the warrants was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. The subsequent estimated fair value of the Public Warrants is based on the
listed price in an active market for such warrants while the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants continues to be measured using
a Monte Carlo simulation.
Class
A common stock subject to possible redemption
We
account for our Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares
subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable
Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the
holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity.
At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our Class A ordinary shares feature certain
redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly,
at June 30, 2021, 28,971,558 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity,
outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our unaudited condensed balance sheet.
20
Net
Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
Net
income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during
the periods. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase
up to an aggregate of 16,699,626 of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of the diluted income per share, since
their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.
The
Company’s unaudited condensed statements of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per ordinary share for shares subject
to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income (loss) per ordinary share,
basic and diluted, for Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income
or loss on investments held by the Trust Account, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption outstanding
since original issuance.
Net
income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), adjusted
for income or loss on investments held in the Trust Account attributable to ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, by the weighted
average number of non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the period.
Non-redeemable
common stock includes Founder Shares and non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares as these shares do not have any redemption features.
Non-redeemable ordinary shares participate in the income or loss on investments held in the Trust Account based on non-redeemable shares’
proportionate interest.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and
Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s
Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required
under current U.S. GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify
for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted
ASU 2020-06 on January 8, 2021 (inception). Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s 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 the accompanying condensed financial statements.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of June 30, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
JOBS
Act
The
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain
reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act
are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies.
We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised
accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result,
the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company
effective dates.
21
Additionally,
we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject
to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions
we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over
financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth
public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted
by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about
the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items
such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee
compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until
we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.
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. As of June 30, 2021, we were not subject to any significant market or interest rate risk. The net proceeds
of the Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the Trust Account, were invested in U.S. government securities with a maturity of
185 days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there
will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.
We
have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception and we do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect
to the market or interest rate risk to which we are exposed.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting
officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter
ended June 30, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation and
in light of the SEC Staff Statement, our Certifying Officers concluded that, solely due to the Company’s misapplication of the
accounting for the Company’s warrants as liabilities, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30,
2021. The Company had a material weakness related to the accounting for warrant liabilities.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021, covered by
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting, other than the remediation steps taken to address the material weakness. Management has implemented remediation
steps to address the material weakness and to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we expanded and improved
our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing access
to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications
and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals.

PART II – OTHER
INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Factors that could cause our
actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on May 27, 2021. Any of these factors could result in a significant or
material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that
we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have
been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021 as filed
with the SEC on May 27, 2021.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities
Unregistered Sales
On January 22, 2021, our Sponsor
paid an aggregate of $25,000 for certain offering costs on our behalf in exchange for issuance of 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares (the
“Founder Shares”). The holders of the Founder Shares agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,125,000 Founder Shares, on
a pro rata basis, to the extent that the option to purchase additional units is not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the
Founder Shares will represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On April 7,
2021, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in part, and 532,687 Founder Shares were subsequently forfeited by our Sponsor.
No underwriting discounts or
commissions were paid with respect to such sales.
Use of Proceeds
In connection with the Initial
Public Offering, we incurred offering costs of approximately $17.2 million (including deferred underwriting commissions of approximately
$10.5 million). Other incurred offering costs consisted principally of preparation fees related to the Initial Public Offering. After
deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion, which amount will be payable upon consummation of
the Initial Business Combination, if consummated) and the Initial Public Offering expenses, $300.0 million of the net proceeds from our
Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds from the Private Placement Units (or $10.00 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering)
was placed in the Trust Account. The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement
Units are held in the Trust Account and invested as described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
There has been no material
change in the planned use of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as is described in the Company’s
final prospectus related to the Initial Public Offering.
