Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on February 23, 2021 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or
similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Initial Business Combination”).
Our sponsor is Focus Impact Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for our initial public offering was declared effective on October 27, 2021. On November 1,
2021, we consummated our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 23,000,000 Units, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase 3,000,000 units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit.
Simultaneously with the closing of Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale of 11,200,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to the
Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to us of $11,200,000.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, $10.20 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering (including the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) and the proceeds of the sale of the
Private Placement Warrants, are held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and will be invested only in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. The trust account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of the Initial Business Combination, (b) the
redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A common
stock the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the Initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete the Initial Business Combination by the Termination Date or (ii) with respect to any
other provisions relating to the rights of holders of our Class A common stock, and (c) the redemption of our public shares if we have not consummated the Initial Business Combination by the Termination Date, subject to applicable law.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will have until the Termination Date to complete the Initial Business Combination. If we do not complete the Initial Business Combination by the
Termination Date, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal
to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes (less 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 stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any),
subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations
under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
Extension of Combination Period
On April 25, 2023, we held the Extension Meeting to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to (i) extend the Termination Date from the Original Termination Date to the Charter Extension Date and
to allow us, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate an Initial Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after the Charter Extension Date, by
resolution of the our board of directors if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until May 1, 2024, or a total of up to twelve months after the Original Termination Date, unless the
closing of our Initial Business Combination shall have occurred prior to such date and (ii) remove the limitation that we may not redeem shares of public stock to the extent that such redemption would result in us having net tangible assets (as
determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of less than $5,000,000. The shareholders of the Company approved the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal
at the Extension Meeting and on April 26, 2023, we filed the Extension Amendment and the Redemption Limitation Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, the holders of 17,297,209 shares of Class A common stock properly exercised their right to
redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.40 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $179,860,588.
As disclosed in the proxy statement relating to the Extension Meeting, the Sponsor agreed that if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, it or one or more of its affiliates, members or third-party designees
will contribute to us as a loan, within ten (10) business days of the date of the Extension Meeting, of the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $487,500 or (b) $0.0975 per share that is not redeemed in connection with the Extension Meeting, to be
deposited into the Trust Account. In addition, in the event we do not consummate an Initial Business Combination by August 1, 2023, the Lender may contribute to us the lesser of (a) $162,500 or (b) $0.0325 per each share of public stock that is not
redeemed in connection with the Extension Meeting as a loan to be deposited into the Trust Account for each of nine one-month extensions following August 1, 2023. Because the Extension Amendment Proposal was approved, the Sponsor deposited $487,500
into the Trust Account, and the Termination Date was extended to August 1, 2023. From August 2023 through December 2023, the Sponsor deposited an aggregate of $812,500 into the Trust Account extending the Termination Date to January 1, 2024.

On December 29, 2023, we held the Second Extension Meeting to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to (i) extend the Termination Date from January 1, 2024 to the Second Charter Extension Date
and to allow us, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate an Initial Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to seven times by an additional one month each time after the Second Charter
Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until November 1, 2024, or a total of up to ten months after January 1,
2024, unless the closing of our Initial Business Combination shall have occurred prior to such date. Our stockholders approved the Second Extension Amendment Proposal at the Second Extension Meeting and on December 29, 2023, we filed the Second
Extension Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
In connection with the vote to approve the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 3,985,213 shares of Class A common stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption
price of approximately $10.95 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $43,640,022.
As disclosed in the proxy statement relating to the Second Extension Meeting, the Sponsor agreed that if the Second Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the Lender would deposit into the Trust Account the lesser
of (a) $120,000 and (b) $0.06 per public share that is not redeemed in connection with the Second Extension Meeting. In addition, in the event the Company does not consummate an Initial Business Combination by April 1, 2024, the Lender may
contribute to the Company the lesser of (a) $40,000 or (b) $0.02 per each public share that is not redeemed in connection with the Second Extension Meeting as a loan to be deposited into the Trust Account for each of seven one-month extensions
following April 1, 2024. Because the Second Extension Amendment Proposal was approved, the Sponsor deposited $103,055 into the Trust Account, and the Termination Date was extended to April 1, 2024. In each of March 2024 and April 2024, the Sponsor
deposited $34,352 into the Trust Account extending the Termination Date to June 1, 2024, which can be extended to November 1, 2024 (with required funding of the Trust Account).
On March 27, 2024, the Company transferred $75,773 to the Trust Account related to excess funds withdrawn and the timing of the payment of taxes. The excess withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account is reported on
the condensed consolidated balance sheet as restricted cash.
Promissory Notes
In association with the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, on May 9, 2023, we issued the Promissory Note to the Sponsor and the Sponsor funded deposits into the Trust Account. The Promissory Note does not
bear interest and matures upon closing of our Initial Business Combination. In the event that we do not consummate an Initial Business Combination, the Promissory Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any.
Up to the total principal amount of the Promissory Note may be converted, in whole or in part, at the option of the Lender into warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per warrant, which warrants will be identical to the Private Placement
Warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the Initial Public Offering. As of March 31, 2024, an aggregate of $1,500,000 has been drawn under the Promissory Note.
In connection with the extension of the Termination Date, on December 1, 2023, the Company issued the Second Promissory Note to the Sponsor and the Sponsor funded deposits into the Trust Account. The Second
Promissory Note does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s Initial Business Combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate an Initial Business Combination, the Second Promissory Note will be repaid only from
amounts remaining outside of the trust account, if any. As of March 31, 2024, an aggregate of $650,000 has been drawn under the Second Promissory Note.
As of the date of this filing, the Company has deposited an aggregate of $1,471,758 into the Trust Account to extend the Termination Date to June 1, 2024, which can be extended to November 1, 2024 (with required
funding of the Trust Account).
Conversion of Class B common stock to Class A common stock
On December 21, 2023, the Sponsor, converted 5,000,000 shares of the company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B common stock”) to shares of Class A common stock. Notwithstanding the
conversions, the Sponsor will not be entitled to receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of shares of Class A common stock issued upon conversion of the Class B common stock. The converted shares of Class A common
stock hold no interest in the Trust Account and are non-redeemable. Following such conversion and taking into account the redemptions described above, we have an aggregate of 6,717,578 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding and an
aggregate of 750,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard
On October 16, 2023, the Company, received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was no longer in
compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2), which requires a minimum of 400 total holders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Minimum Public Holders Rule”).
Based on the Company’s plan of compliance submitted to Nasdaq on November 17, 2023, Nasdaq granted the Company an extension until April 15, 2024 to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule. On April 12,
2024, the Company regained compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule.
Additionally, on December 21, 2023, the Sponsor, converted 5,000,000 shares of the company’s Class B common stock to Class A common stock. The converted shares of Class A common stock hold no interest in the Trust
Account and are non-redeemable.
Proposed Business Combination
On September 12, 2023, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement, by and among FIAC, Amalco Sub and DevvStream. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among other things FIAC will acquire DevvStream

Public Warrant and Private Placement Warrant, will be assumed by New PubCo and automatically converted into the right to exercise such warrant for a number of New PubCo Common Shares equal to the Reverse Split Factor at an exercise price
equal to the Adjusted Exercise Price. Any fractional shares or warrants to be issued pursuant to the FIAC Continuance will be rounded down to the nearest whole share or warrant; and
(ii)
Pursuant to the Amalgamation, New PubCo shall issue, and the holders of Company Shares collectively shall be entitled to receive a number of New PubCo Common Shares equal to (a) the Amended Common
Amalgamation Consideration (as defined below), plus (b) solely to the extent any Multiple Voting Company Shares and Subordinated Voting Company Shares are required to be issued to Approved Financing Sources (as defined below) pursuant to
Approved Financings (as defined below) in connection with the Closing, a number of New PubCo Common Shares equal to (i) each such Company Share multiplied by (ii) the Per Common Share Amalgamation Consideration (as defined below) in respect
of such Company Share.
The “Amended Common Amalgamation Consideration” means, with respect to the Company Shares, Company Options and Company Warrants, a number of New PubCo Common Shares equal to the product of (A) the Reverse Split
Factor, multiplied by (B) the Common Amalgamation Consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, “Fully Diluted Common Shares Outstanding” shall not include any Subordinated Voting Company Shares to be issued (including pursuant to the exercise and
conversion of Company Warrants) to any Approved Financing Source pursuant to an Approved Financing. The “Approved Financing Source” means a person engaged by DevvStream after the date of the First Amendment to act as an investment bank, financial
advisor, broker or similar advisor in connection with any financing which has been approved by FIAC in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (an “Approved Financing”). The “Reverse Split Factor” means an amount equal to
the lesser of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing the Final Company Share Price by $0.6316 and (b) one. The “Final Company Share Price” means the closing price of the Subordinated Voting Company Shares on the Cboe Canada stock exchange, as of the
end of last trading day prior to the Closing (and if there is no such closing price on the last trading day prior to the Closing, the closing price of the Subordinated Voting Company Shares on the last trading day prior to the Closing on which
there is such a closing price), converted into United States dollars based on the Bank of Canada daily exchange rate on the last business day prior to the Closing. The “Adjusted Exercise Price” means $11.50 multiplied by a fraction (x) the
numerator of which is the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of common stock purchasable immediately
thereafter.
Sponsor Side Letter
In connection with signing the Business Combination Agreement, FIAC and the Sponsor entered into a letter agreement, dated September 12, 2023, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to forfeit (i) 10% of its founder
shares effective as of the consummation of the FIAC Continuance at the closing of the Proposed Transactions and (ii) with the Sponsor's consent, up to 30% of its founder shares and/or private placement warrants in connection with financing or
non-redemption arrangements, if any, entered into prior to consummation of the Business Combination if any, negotiated by the Effective Date. Pursuant to the Sponsor Side Letter, the Sponsor also agreed to (1) certain transfer restrictions with
respect to our securities, lock-up restrictions (terminating upon the earlier of: (A) 360 days after the Closing Date, (B) a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of New PubCo’s
stockholders having the right to exchange their equity for cash, securities or other property or (C) subsequent to the Closing Date, the closing price of the New Pubco Common Shares equaling or exceeding $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock
splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing) and (2) to vote any FIAC shares held by it in favor of the Business
Combination Agreement, the arrangement resolution and the Proposed Transactions, and provided customary representations and warranties and covenants related to the foregoing.
Amendment No. 1 to the Sponsor Side Letter
Concurrently with the execution of the First Amendment, FIAC and the Sponsor entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Sponsor Side Letter, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor agreed and acknowledged that
(i) each share of Class B common stock (other than those subject to forfeiture pursuant to the Sponsor Side Letter) shall convert only into a number of New PubCo Common Shares (and not any other FIAC shares prior to such automatic conversion) equal
to the Reverse Split Factor and (ii) that each Private Placement Warrant shall only convert into the right to exercise such warrants for New PubCo Common Shares equal to the Reverse Split Factor. No fractional shares shall be issued and the total
number of New PubCo Common Shares to be received by the Sponsor shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share after aggregating all New PubCo Common Shares held by the Sponsor. As a third-party beneficiary of the Sponsor Side Letter, DevvStream
consented in all respects to the Sponsor Side Letter Amendment.
Company Support & Lock-up Agreement
In connection with signing the Business Combination Agreement, Devvstream, FIAC and the Core Company Securityholders entered into the Company Support Agreements, dated September 12, 2023, pursuant to which (i) each
of the Core Company Securityholders agreed to vote any Company Shares held by him, her or it in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, the arrangement resolution and the Proposed Transactions, and provided customary representations and
warranties and covenants related to the foregoing, and (ii) each of the Core Company Securityholders has agreed to certain transfer restrictions with respect to DevvStream securities prior to the Effective Time and lock-up restrictions with respect
to the New PubCo Common Shares to be received by such Core Company Securityholder under the Business Combination Agreement, which lock-up restrictions are consistent with those agreed to by the Sponsor in the Sponsor Side Letter.

Registration Rights Agreement
At the closing of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that the FIAC, the sponsor, and the Legacy Devvstream Holders will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which,
among other things, the Legacy Devvstream Holders and the sponsor will be granted customary registration rights with respect to shares of the post-Business Combination company.
Financial and Capital Market Advisors
The Company has engaged J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC, acting through its Cohen & Company Capital Markets division, to act as its (i) its financial advisor and capital markets advisor in connection with the
Business Combination and (ii) its placement agent in connection with a private placement of debt, equity, equity-linked or convertible securities or other capital or debt raising transaction in connection with the Business Combination.
The Company will pay CCM the sum of (i) an advisory fee in an amount equal to $2,500,000 simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination plus (ii) a transaction fee in connection with the Offering of an
amount equal to 4.0% of the sum of (A) the gross proceeds raised from investors and received by Company or DevvStream simultaneously with or before the closing of the Offering and (B) the proceeds released from the Trust Account in connection with
the Business Combination with respect to any stockholder of the Company that (x) entered into a non-redemption or other similar agreement or (y) did not redeem the Company’s common stock, in each instance to the extent such stockholder was
identified to the Company by CCM; provided, however, CCM shall receive no fee for any gross proceeds received from, or non-redemptions obtained from any investors holding capital stock of DevvStream (other than any investor who acquired their
capital stock of DevvStream in open market activities). The Transaction Fee shall be payable to CCM simultaneously with the closing of the Transaction. In addition, the Company may, in its sole discretion, pay to CCM a discretionary fee in an
amount up to $500,000, simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination, if the Company determines in its discretion and reasonable judgment that the performance of CCM in connection with its leadership role in connection with the
Transaction warrants such additional fee, taking into account, without limitation, (a) timing of the Transaction, (b) quality and delivery of services and advice hereunder, and (c) overall valuation attributable to the Transaction. No Advisory Fee,
Offering Fee or Discretionary Fee shall be due to CCM if the Company does not complete the Business Combination.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going
Concern,” management believes that the funds which we have available following the completion of the Initial Public Offering may not enable it to sustain operations for a period of at least one-year from the issuance date of this financial
statement. Based on the foregoing, management believes that we may not have sufficient working capital to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period,
the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Initial Business Combination.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue
as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should we be unable to complete an Initial Business Combination, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We
have until June 1, 2024, which can be extended to November 1, 2024 (with required funding of the Trust Account) to consummate a business combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate an Initial Business Combination by this time.
If an Initial Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to
liquidate after June 1, 2024, which can be extended to November 1, 2024 (with required funding of the Trust Account).
Risks and Uncertainties
Our results of operations and ability to complete an Initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of
which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines
in consumer confidence and spending and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to
which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an Initial Business Combination.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”)
On August 16, 2022, the IR Act was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations
and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The
amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of
certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to
carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.
On December 27, 2022, the Treasury published Notice 2023-2, which provided clarification on some aspects of the application of the excise tax. The notice generally provides that if a publicly traded U.S. corporation
completely liquidates and dissolves, distributions in such complete liquidation and other distributions by such corporation in the same taxable year in which the final distribution in complete liquidation and dissolution is made are not subject to
the excise tax. Although such notice clarifies certain aspects of the excise tax, the interpretation and operation of aspects of the excise tax (including its application and operation with respect to SPACs) remain unclear and such interim
operating rules are subject to change.

Table of Contents
Because the application of this excise tax is not entirely clear, any redemption or other repurchase effected by the Company, in connection with an Initial Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be
subject to this excise tax. Because any such excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holders, it could cause a reduction in the value of the Company’s Class A common stock, cash available with which to effectuate an
Initial Business Combination or cash available for distribution in a subsequent liquidation. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a business combination will depend on a number of factors,
including (i) the structure of the business combination, (ii) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the business combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection
with the business combination (or any other equity issuances within the same taxable year of the business combination) and (iv) the content of any subsequent regulations, clarifications, and other guidance issued by the Treasury. Further, the
application of the excise tax in respect of distributions pursuant to a liquidation of a publicly traded U.S. corporation is uncertain and has not been addressed by the Treasury in regulations, and it is possible that the proceeds held in the Trust
Account could be used to pay any excise tax owed by the Company in the event the Company is unable to complete a business combination in the required time and redeem 100% of the remaining Class A common stock in accordance with the Company’s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in which case the amount that would otherwise be received by the public stockholders in connection with the Company’s liquidation would be reduced.
Results of Operations
As of March 31, 2024, we have not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 23, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2024 relates to our formation and the Initial Public Offering, and since
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective and consummation of an 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 the completion of our Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. 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 March 31, 2024, we had net loss of $2,234,269 resulting from operating costs of $1,687,227, the change in fair value of warrants of $681,000, and provision for income taxes of $121,281,
partially offset by interest income from operating account of $1,249 and trust earnings of $253,990.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had net income of $1,522,559 resulting from interest income from operating account of $5,283 and $2,534,447 in trust earnings partially offset by $522,843 in provision
for income taxes and $494,328 in operating costs.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities.
Administrative Services Agreement
We agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support provided to us. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or our liquidation,
we will cease paying these monthly fees.
Registration and Stockholder Rights
The holders of the founder shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private
Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans and upon conversion of the founder shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights and stockholder agreement to be signed
prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the founder shares, only after conversion to the Class A common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities
are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the
completion of the Initial Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
Underwriter Agreement
The underwriters were entitled to a deferred underwriting fee of approximately $0.376 per unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $8,650,000 in the aggregate (including the commission related to the
underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option) upon the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination. In the third quarter 2023, the underwriters waived any right to receive the deferred underwriting fee and will therefore receive
no additional underwriting fee in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination. As a result, the Company recognized $309,534 of income and $8,340,466 was recorded to accumulated deficit in relation to the reduction of the deferred
underwriting fee. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the deferred underwriting fee is $0, respectively.
To account for the waiver of the deferred underwriting fee, the Company analogized to the SEC staff’s guidance on accounting for reducing a liability for “trailing fees”. Upon the waiver of the deferred underwriter
fee, the Company reduced the deferred underwriting fee liability to $0 and reversed the previously recorded cost of issuing the instruments in the Initial Public Offering, which included recognizing a contra-expense of $309,534, which is the amount
previously allocated to liability classified warrants and expensed upon the Initial Public Offering, and reduced the accumulated deficit and increased income available to Class B common stock by $8,650,000, which was previously allocated to the
Class A common stock subject to redemption and accretion recognized at the Initial Public Offering date.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Warrants
We account for the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” whereby under that provision
the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, we classified the warrant instrument as a liability at fair value and will adjust the instrument to fair value at each reporting period.
This liability will be re-measured at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of warrants was estimated using an internal
valuation model. Our valuation model utilized inputs such as assumed share prices, volatility, discount factors and other assumptions and may not be reflective of the price at which they can be settled. Such warrant classification is also subject
to re-evaluation at each reporting period.

Inflation
We do not believe that inflation had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the period presented.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are
applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder
approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had
a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company
can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have 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, we, 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 our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or
impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
