−Removed: issuance of additional shares in a Business Combination:

−Removed: connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting
−Removed: Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going
−Removed: Concern,” the Company had until November 7, 2023 (or up to June 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the
−Removed: fullest extend), to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”).
−Removed: It is uncertain that we will be able to
−Removed: consummate a Business Combination by this time.
−Removed: If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory
−Removed: liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company.
−Removed: We have determined that the insufficient liquidity as well as the mandatory liquidation,
−Removed: should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
−Removed: to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: We intend to complete a Business Combination by close of business on June 7, 2024.
−Removed: No adjustments have
−Removed: been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after June 7, 2024.
−Removed: and Uncertainties
−Removed: continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that
−Removed: the virus could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of our operations and/or search for a target company, the specific
−Removed: impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: The consolidated financial statements do
−Removed: not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
−Removed: February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine.
−Removed: As a result of this action,
−Removed: various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus.
−Removed: the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial
−Removed: The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable
−Removed: as of the date of these consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law.
−Removed: The IR Act provides
−Removed: for, among other things, a new U.S.
−Removed: federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S.
−Removed: domestic corporations
−Removed: and certain U.S.
−Removed: domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023.
−Removed: tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased.
−Removed: The amount of the excise
−Removed: tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase.
−Removed: However, for purposes of calculating
−Removed: the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair
−Removed: market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year.
−Removed: In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax.
−Removed: of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent
−Removed: the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.
−Removed: Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in
−Removed: connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax.
−Removed: Whether and to what extent the
−Removed: Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise will depend on a number
−Removed: of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination,
−Removed: extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE”
−Removed: or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination
−Removed: but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the
−Removed: Company held a meeting on March 6, 2023 where the stockholders voted to approve a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated
−Removed: certificate of incorporation to extend the Combination Period, from March 7, 2023, monthly for up to six additional months at the election
−Removed: of the Company, ultimately until as late as September 7, 2023 (the “Extension”, and such extension date the “Extended
−Removed: In connection with the March 6, 2023 meeting, 21,151,393 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed with
−Removed: a total redemption payment of $215,621,387.
−Removed: As a result, the Company booked a liability of $2,156,214 for the excise tax based on 1%
−Removed: of shares redeemed during the reporting period.
−Removed: For interim periods, an entity is not required to estimate future stock repurchases and
−Removed: stock issuances to measure its excise tax obligation.
−Removed: Rather, an entity can generally record the obligation on an as-incurred basis.
−Removed: In other words, the excise tax obligation recognized at the end of a quarterly financial reporting period is calculated as if the end
−Removed: of the quarterly period was the end of the annual period for which the excise tax obligation is payable.
−Removed: to the AM BCA, (i) in the event the business combination contemplated by the AM BCA occurs, then the surviving company shall pay the
−Removed: Company’s excise tax liability;
−Removed: (ii) if Alpha Modus does not obtain its shareholders approval of the business combination, or Alpha
−Removed: Modus breaches the AM BCA, then Alpha Modus will be responsible to pay the Company’s excise tax liability;
−Removed: and (iii) if an Alpha
−Removed: Modus material adverse effect occurs and the business combination does not close, or if Alpha Modus fails to close the business combination
−Removed: for any reason other than a material breach by the Company, then Alpha Modus will be responsible to pay the Company’s excise tax
−Removed: In all other circumstances the Company will be responsible to pay the Company’s excise tax liability, except if the
−Removed: Company liquidates prior to December 31, 2023, in which event there will be no excise tax liability.
−Removed: The Company will not use any of
−Removed: the funds held in the Trust Account and any additional amounts deposited into the Trust Account, as well as any interest earned thereon,
−Removed: to pay for the Company’s excise tax liability.
−Removed: In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the
−Removed: redeeming holders, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax by the Company have not been determined.
−Removed: The foregoing could
−Removed: cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business
−Removed: In October 2023, the Israel-Hamas war commenced.
−Removed: As a result of the
−Removed: war, instability in the Middle East and various other regions of the world may occur and effect the world economy.

−Removed: the United States, as a reaction to the Israel-Hamas war have begun taking actions that may further affect the world economy.

−Removed: partially offset by approximately $3.1 million of gain on investments held in Trust Account, approximately $273,000 gain on forgiveness
−Removed: of deferred underwriting fee payable, and approximately $86,000 of gain on change in the fair value of the forward purchase agreement
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2022, we had net income of approximately $11.9 million, which consisted of $10.7 million change in the fair
−Removed: value of derivative warrant liabilities and approximately $3.3 million of net gain on investments held in Trust Account partially offset
−Removed: by approximately $1.3 million in general and administrative costs, income tax expense of approximately $625,000 and approximately $206,000
−Removed: franchise tax expenses.

−Removed: The deferred fee will
−Removed: become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business

+Added: became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company changed
+Added: its name to “Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc.,” and the Company is now listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “AMOD”.
+Added: Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization.
+Added: Under this method of accounting, INAQ is treated as the acquired
+Added: company for financial statement reporting purposes.
+Added: See “ Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information and Other
+Added: Data .” Legacy Alpha Modus’s financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the Company’s future
+Added: periodic reports filed with the SEC.
+Added: In connection with the Business
+Added: Combination, approximately 426,136 shares of common stock were redeemed, which represented a significant portion of the publicly traded
+Added: shares outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and resulted in only approximately $1.16 million of cash from the INAQ
+Added: trust account becoming available to Alpha Modus in connection with the closing of the Business Combination.
+Added: In the Business Combination,

+Added: As a result of becoming a
+Added: publicly traded company, we will need to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory
+Added: requirements and customary practices.
+Added: We expect to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’
+Added: and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting and legal and administrative resources,
+Added: including increased audit and legal fees.
+Added: Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
+Added: Basis of Presentation
+Added: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
+Added: are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant
+Added: to the rules and regulations of the SEC and has a year-end of December 31 st .
+Added: Critical accounting policies are those that,
+Added: in management’s view, are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and
+Added: most demanding on their calls on judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently
+Added: uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.
+Added: While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our
+Added: financial statements appearing elsewhere in this annual report, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical
+Added: to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
+Added: Derivative Liabilities
+Added: The Company does not use derivative instruments
+Added: to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
+Added: The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including
+Added: issued stock purchase warrants and the forward purchase agreement, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features
+Added: that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”).
+Added: The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed
+Added: at the end of each reporting period.
+Added: The company earnout shares and sponsor earnout
+Added: shares (“earnout shares”) as defined in the business combination agreement are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance
+Added: with ASC 815.
+Added: In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“ASC 820”), the Company
+Added: recognizes the earnout shares instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value
+Added: at each reporting period for so long as they are outstanding.
+Added: At the date of the merger, the initial fair value of the earnout shares
+Added: have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
+Added: Subsequently, the fair value of the earnout shares have been estimated using
+Added: this same Monte Carlo simulation model.
+Added: Derivative earnout shares liabilities are classified as current liabilities (See note 7 for more
+Added: details on earnout shares).
+Added: Series C Preferred Stock
+Added: During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company
+Added: amended and restated its charter to include the designation of a Series C Preferred Stock.
+Added: The Amended and Restated Charter authorizes
+Added: the issuance of 8,500,000 shares of preferred stock, 7,500,000 shares of which have been designated as Series C Redeemable Convertible
+Added: Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”), and 1,000,000 shares of which will be undesignated.
+Added: Based on the characteristics
+Added: and rights of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company is reporting it as Mezzanine Equity (Temporary Equity) on its consolidated balance
+Added: These shares were valued at the date of issuance using a Monte Carlo Simulation model.
+Added: The Company determined that subsequent
+Added: changes to the carrying value of the series C preferred shares will not be recognized until Redemption becomes probable of occurring.
+Added: See Note 9 – Mezzanine Equity for further details.

+Added: and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related
+Added: items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation
