Note 1 — Organization and Business Operation
−Removed: TradeUP Acquisition Corp.
−Removed: (the “Company”)
−Removed: is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 6, 2021.
−Removed: The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting
−Removed: a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses
−Removed: (the “Business Combination”).
−Removed: The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
−Removed: As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the
−Removed: Company had not commenced any operations.
−Removed: For the period from January 6, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2023, the Company’s efforts
−Removed: have been limited to organizational activities as well as activities related to the Initial Public Offering (as defined below) and the
−Removed: Business Combination.
−Removed: The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the
−Removed: The Company had and will continue to generate non-operating income in the form of dividend income from the proceeds derived
−Removed: from the Initial Public Offering (as defined below).
−Removed: The registration statement for the Company’s
−Removed: initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) became effective on July 14, 2021.
−Removed: On July 19, 2021, the Company consummated
−Removed: the Initial Public Offering of 4,000,000 units (the “Public Units”), at $ 10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds
−Removed: of $ 40,000,000 which is described in Note 4.
−Removed: On July 21, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and
−Removed: purchased 430,000 units (the “Option Units”, together with the Public Units, the “Units”) at a price of $ 10.00
−Removed: per Option Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 4,300,000 .
−Removed: Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, $ 0.0001 par value per share
−Removed: (the “Common Stock”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the
−Removed: holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share.
−Removed: The Units were sold at an offering price
−Removed: of $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 44,300,000 in total.
−Removed: Transaction costs in connection with the Initial Public Offering
−Removed: and the issuance and sale of Option Units amounted to $ 3,019,474 , consisting of $ 886,000 of underwriting fees, $ 1,550,500 of Business
−Removed: Combination Fee (defined in Note 8 below) and $ 582,974 of other offering costs.
−Removed: Following the expiration of the over-allotment option,
−Removed: 42,500 Founder Shares (defined below) were subsequently forfeited.
−Removed: Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
−Removed: Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 295,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Placement Shares”) at a
−Removed: price of $ 10.00 per share in a private placement sale (the “Private Placement”) to the Company’s founders, or initial
−Removed: stockholders, include Tradeup INC.
−Removed: and the Company’s sponsor, TradeUP Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
−Removed: (the “Sponsor”), among which, the Sponsor purchased 236,000 Private Placement Shares and Tradeup INC.
−Removed: purchased 59,000 Private
−Removed: Placement Shares, generating gross proceeds of $ 2,950,000 , which is described in Note 5.
−Removed: On July 21, 2021, the Company consummated the
−Removed: sale of additional 17,200 Private Placement Shares with the Sponsor and Tradeup INC.
−Removed: at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement share,
−Removed: among which, the Sponsor purchased 13,760 Private Placement Shares and Tradeup INC.
−Removed: purchased 3,440 Private Placement Shares, generating
−Removed: total proceeds of $ 172,000 .
−Removed: Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering
−Removed: on July 19, 2021, the issuance and sale of Option Units on July 21, 2021 and the issuance and sale of Private Placement Shares, $ 45,186,000
−Removed: from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and from the sale of Private Placement Shares was placed in a trust account (the “Trust
−Removed: Account”) maintained by Wilmington Trust, National Association as a trustee.
−Removed: The aggregate amount of $ 45,186,000 ($ 10.20 per Unit)
−Removed: was invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act
−Removed: having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment
−Removed: Company Act which invest only in direct U.S.
−Removed: government treasury obligations.
−Removed: Pursuant to the trust agreement, the trustee is not permitted
−Removed: to invest in other securities or assets.
−Removed: By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments, and by having a business
−Removed: plan targeted at acquiring and growing businesses for the long term (rather than on buying and selling businesses in the manner of a merchant
−Removed: bank or private equity fund), the Company intends to avoid being deemed an “investment company” within the meaning of the
−Removed: Investment Company Act.
−Removed: The Initial Public Offering is not intended for persons who are seeking a return on investments in government
−Removed: securities or investment securities.
−Removed: The Trust Account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of either:
−Removed: (i) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination;
−Removed: (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in
−Removed: connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation that would affect the
−Removed: substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of its public shares in connection with an initial
−Removed: Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of its public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination by the
−Removed: Combination Deadline (as defined below);
−Removed: or (iii) absent an initial Business Combination by the Combination Deadline, its return of the
−Removed: funds held in the Trust Account to its public stockholders as part of its redemption of the public shares.
−Removed: The proceeds deposited in the
−Removed: Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of
−Removed: the Company’s public stockholders.
−Removed: In order to mitigate the potential risks of being
−Removed: deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, the Company instructed
−Removed: Wilmington Trust, National Association, as a trustee to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S.
−Removed: government treasury obligations and money
−Removed: market funds held in the Trust Account on July 14, 2023 and to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of consummation
−Removed: of the Company’s initial business combination or liquidation.
−Removed: Following such liquidation, the Company will likely continue to receive,
−Removed: minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount its public stockholders would receive
−Removed: upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.
−Removed: The Company’s initial Business Combination
−Removed: must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80 % of the assets held in
−Removed: the Trust Account (excluding the Business Combination Fee and taxes payable and interest previously released for working capital purposes
−Removed: on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination.
−Removed: However, the Company
−Removed: will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities
−Removed: of the target or otherwise acquires an interest in the target sufficient for the post-transaction company not to be required to register
−Removed: as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).
−Removed: assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.
−Removed: The shares of Common Stock subject to redemption
−Removed: was recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance
−Removed: with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case,
−Removed: the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $ 5,000,001 upon such consummation
−Removed: of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted
−Removed: in favor of the Business Combination.
−Removed: The Company initially had until January 19, 2023 to complete its initial Business Combination.
−Removed: December 22, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “2022 Special Meeting”), at which the stockholders
−Removed: approved amending the amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date before which the Company must complete a Business
−Removed: Combination from January 19, 2023, by one month up to six times, to July 19, 2023, or such earlier date as determined by the board of
−Removed: directors of the Company (such monthly extension is herein referred to as the “Extension”).
−Removed: On July 17, 2023, the Company
−Removed: held a special meeting in lieu of its 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2023 Special Meeting”), at which the stockholders
−Removed: approved amending the amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date before which the Company must complete a Business
−Removed: Combination (the “Combination Deadline”) from July 19, 2023 to July 14, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the board
−Removed: of directors of the Company (such monthly extension is herein referred to as the “Extension”).
−Removed: Upon the stockholders’
−Removed: approval, on July 17, 2023, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation which
−Removed: became effective upon filing.
−Removed: If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination by the Combination Deadline, the Company
−Removed: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business
−Removed: days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the
−Removed: Trust Account including dividend earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company for working
−Removed: capital purposes or to pay the Company’s taxes (less up to $ 50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number
−Removed: of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including
−Removed: the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible
−Removed: following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve
−Removed: and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements
−Removed: of other applicable law.
−Removed: There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s Warrants,
−Removed: which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination by the Combination Deadline.
−Removed: The founders (not including
−Removed: the anchor investors who purchase units in the Initial Public Offering and certain membership interest in the Sponsor, if any), officers
−Removed: and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed (i) to waive their redemption
−Removed: rights with respect to any Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the completion
−Removed: of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares
−Removed: and public shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate
−Removed: of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial
−Removed: Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination
−Removed: by the Combination Deadline or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business
−Removed: Combination activity and (iii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares
−Removed: and Private Placement Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination by the Combination Deadline,
−Removed: although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the
−Removed: Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination by the Combination Deadline.
−Removed: If the Company submits its initial Business Combination
−Removed: to its stockholders for a vote, the Company will complete its initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares
−Removed: of Common Stock voted are voted in favor of the initial Business Combination.
−Removed: In no event will the Company redeem its public shares of
−Removed: Common Stock in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $ 5,000,001 .
−Removed: In such case, the Company would not proceed
−Removed: with the redemption of public shares of Common Stock and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business
−Removed: The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable
−Removed: 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
−Removed: target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account
−Removed: to below (i) $ 10.20 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the
−Removed: liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn
−Removed: to pay taxes.
−Removed: This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to
−Removed: seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public
−Removed: Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
−Removed: Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is
−Removed: deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Company’s Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability
−Removed: for such third party claims.
−Removed: On December 22, 2022, at the 2022 Special Meeting,
−Removed: the stockholders approved amending the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated July 14, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”),
−Removed: by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “Trustee”) to extend the liquidation date from
−Removed: January 19, 2023 to July 19, 2023.
−Removed: In connection with the votes to approve the extension proposal, 3,519,780 public shares were rendered
−Removed: for redemption with 910,220 public shares remained outstanding.
−Removed: On July 17, 2023, at the 2023 Special Meeting,
−Removed: the stockholders approved amending the Trust Agreement to extend the liquidation date from July 19, 2023 to July 14, 2024.

−Removed: Liquidity and Going Concern

−Removed: The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs
−Removed: to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination.
−Removed: In connection with the Company’s assessment
−Removed: of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
−Removed: 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined
−Removed: that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: The management’s
−Removed: plan in addressing this uncertainty is through the Promissory Notes – related parties and the Working Capital Loans, as defined
−Removed: below (see Note 7).

−Removed: board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company.

−Removed: itself, not its stockholders from which shares are repurchased.
−Removed: The amount of the excise tax is generally 1 % of the fair market value
−Removed: of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase.
−Removed: However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations

−Removed: Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business
−Removed: Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and

+Added: therapies targeting CD19 and CD22, proteins expressed on the surface of almost all B-cell leukemias and lymphomas, in exchange for 105,000,000
+Added: shares of Estrella’s Series AA Preferred Stock (the “Separation”).
+Added: As part of the Separation, Estrella entered into a License Agreement

+Added: the Company expects to commence in the first half of 2024.
+Added: Merger and reverse recapitalization
+Added: As described above and further discussed in Note 3, the Business Combination
+Added: was consummated on September 29, 2023.

+Added: of the business combination, which is payable to the UPTD’s shareholder related to redemption of public shares of UPTD’s Common
+Added: Stock before business combination.
+Added: For the three months ended September 30, 2023, loss from operations was approximately $ 1.9 million.
+Added: The Company’s ability to fund its operations is dependent on the amount of cash on hand and its ability to raise debt or additional
+Added: equity financing.
+Added: The Company has expended substantial funds on its research and development business, has experienced losses and negative
+Added: cash flows from operations since its inception and expects losses and negative cash flows from operations to continue until its technology
+Added: receives regulatory approval and the Company generates sufficient revenue and positive cash flow from operations, if ever.

+Added: The fair value is amortized as
+Added: compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.
+Added: Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model includes various assumptions, including the fair market value of the Common Stock of the Company,
+Added: expected life of stock options, the expected volatility and the expected risk-free interest rate, among others.
+Added: These assumptions reflect
+Added: the Company’s best estimates, but they involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside the control of

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
−Removed: The fair value of the Company’s assets and

−Removed: In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares
−Removed: and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable Common Stock

+Added: (1) whether any
+Added: expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct
+Added: costs for any expired or existing leases.
+Added: For lease terms of twelve months or fewer, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy
+Added: election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities.
+Added: If any of the following criteria
+Added: are met, the Company classifies the lease as a finance lease:
+Added: lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;
+Added: lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably
+Added: certain to exercise;
+Added: lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset;
+Added: present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee,
+Added: that is not otherwise included in the lease payments substantially exceeds all of the fair
+Added: value of the underlying asset;

+Added: lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term.
+Added: In the event of lease modification, the Company
+Added: followed ASC 842-10-25 through 25-12, “lessee accounting for a modification that is not accounted for as a separate contract,”
+Added: to remeasure and reallocate the remaining consideration in the lease agreement, and reassess the classification of the lease at the effective

+Added: asset consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets.
+Added: The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived
+Added: assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.
+Added: The assessment
+Added: of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax
