CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
−Removed: Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: Under the supervision and with the participation
−Removed: of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness
−Removed: of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, as such term is defined in Rules
−Removed: 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer
−Removed: has concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September
−Removed: 30, 2023, because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
−Removed: of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
−Removed: of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
−Removed: Specifically, the Company’s
−Removed: management has concluded that our control around the interpretation and accounting for certain complex financial instruments and accruals
−Removed: was not effectively designed or maintained.
−Removed: This material weakness resulted in the restatement of the Company’s balance sheet as
−Removed: of March 23, 2021 and its interim financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2023.
−Removed: Additionally,
−Removed: this material weakness could result in a misstatement of the warrant liability, Class A ordinary shares, accruals, and related accounts
−Removed: and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a
−Removed: timely basis.
−Removed: Disclosure controls and procedures are designed
−Removed: to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
−Removed: within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
−Removed: management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate
−Removed: to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: We do not expect that our disclosure controls
−Removed: and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud.
−Removed: Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and
−Removed: operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
−Removed: Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits
−Removed: must be considered relative to their costs.
−Removed: Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation
−Removed: of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances
−Removed: of fraud, if any.
−Removed: The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of
−Removed: future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
−Removed: Changes in Internal Control over Financial
−Removed: There was no change in our internal control over
−Removed: financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that
−Removed: has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting except for the below:
−Removed: Our principal executive officer and principal
−Removed: financial officer performed additional accounting and financial analyses and other post-closing procedures including consulting with subject
−Removed: matter experts related to the accounting for certain complex financial instruments.
−Removed: The Company’s management has expended, and will
−Removed: continue to expend, a substantial amount of effort and resources for the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial
−Removed: While we have processes to properly identify and evaluate the appropriate accounting technical pronouncements and other literature
−Removed: for all significant or unusual transactions, we have expanded and will continue to improve these processes to ensure that the nuances
−Removed: of such transactions are effectively evaluated in the context of the increasingly complex accounting standards.

+Added: a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
+Added: We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.
+Added: The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
+Added: Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
+Added: Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level
+Added: b) Inherent Limitations on Internal controls
+Added: Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
+Added: Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
+Added: A control system, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met.
+Added: The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their cost.
+Added: c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
+Added: During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no other changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, which were identified in connection with our management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to have a material effect on our internal control over financial reporting.
