REDWOODS ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
Note 1 — Description of Organization
and Business Operations
Redwoods Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”)
is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on March 16, 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 or entities (“Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region
for purposes of consummating a Business Combination.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced
any operations. All activities through March 31, 2022 are related to the Company’s formation and initial public offering (“IPO”
as defined below in Note 3). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination,
at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO.
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s sponsor is Redwoods Capital
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
The registration statement for the Company’s
IPO became effective on March 30, 2022. On April 4, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 10,000,000 units (which does not include
the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters in the IPO) at an offering price of $ 10.00 per unit (the “Public Units’),
generating gross proceeds of $ 100,000,000 . Simultaneously with the IPO, the Company sold to its Sponsor and Chardan Capital Markets LLC
(“Chardan”) 377,500 units and 100,000 units, respectively, at $ 10.00 per unit (the “Private Units”) in a private
placement generating total gross proceeds of $ 4,775,000 , which is described in Note 4.
Upon the closing of the IPO and the private placement
on April 4, 2022, a total of $ 101,000,000 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) maintained by Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company as a trustee and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment
Company Act”), and that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. These funds will not be released until the earlier
of the completion of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation due to the Company’s failure to complete a Business Combination
within the applicable period of time. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s
creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders. In addition, interest income
earned on the funds in the Trust Account may be released to the Company to pay its income or other tax obligations. With these exceptions,
expenses incurred by the Company may be paid prior to a business combination only from the net proceeds of the IPO and private placement
not held in the Trust Account.
Pursuant to Nasdaq listing rules, the Company’s initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses having an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the funds in the Trust account (excluding any deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account), which the Company refers to as the 80% test, at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial Business Combination, although the Company may structure a Business Combination with one or more target businesses whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the trust account balance. If the Company is no longer listed on Nasdaq, it will not be required to satisfy the 80% test. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

REDWOODS ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding
Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) 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 stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or
(ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct
a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public
Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $ 10.10 per Public Share, plus any pro
rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income
tax obligations).
If a stockholder vote is not required by law and
the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions
pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents
with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the
Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with
a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may
elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder
approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor and any of the Company’s officers or directors that
may hold Insider Shares (as defined in Note 6) (the “Initial Stockholders”) and Chardan have agreed (a) to vote
their Insider Shares, the shares underlying the Private Units (“Private Shares”) and any Public Shares purchased during or
after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination and (b) not to convert any shares (including the Insider Shares) in connection
with a stockholder vote to approve, or sell the shares to the Company in any tender offer in connection with, a proposed Business Combination.
The Initial Stockholders and Chardan have agreed
(a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Insider Shares, Private Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with
the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100 % of its Public Shares if the
Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their
Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
The Company will have until 12 months from the
closing of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination. In addition, if the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate
initial business combination within 12 months, the Company’s insiders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, extend
the period of time to consummate a business combination two times by an additional three months each time (for a total of 18 months to
complete a business combination) (the “Combination Period”). In order to extend the time available for the Company to
consummate a Business Combination, the Company’s insiders or their affiliates or designees, upon five days’ advance notice
prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the Trust Account $1,000,000, or $1,150,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment
option is exercised in full ($0.10 per Public Share in either case or an aggregate of $2,000,000 (or $2,300,000 if the over-allotment
option is exercised in full)), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. On April 7, 2022, Chardan exercised the over-allotment
option in full (see Note 8).
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 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and
less certain amount 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
the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to
the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

REDWOODS ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
The Initial Stockholders and Chardan have agreed
to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Insider Shares and Private Shares, as applicable, if the Company fails to complete
a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if any Initial Stockholder or Chardan acquires Public Shares in or after
the IPO, 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 have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commissions
(see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period
and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other 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 $10.10.
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust
Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (excluding the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business
with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement,
reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.10 per Public Share and (ii) 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 $10.10 per share due to reductions
in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, provided that such 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 (whether or not
such waiver is enforceable), nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash of
$ 6,670 and a working capital deficit of $ 204,630 .
The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the
closing of IPO were satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $ 25,000 (see Note 5) for the insider shares to cover certain offering
costs and the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of $ 200,000 (see Note 5). Subsequent to the closing of the IPO,
the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds of $ 1,215,100 from the consummation of the IPO and the private
placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination,
the Sponsor, Initial Shareholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company working capital loans (see Note
5). As of March 31, 2022, 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 use these funds to pay existing accounts payable,
identify and evaluate prospective initial Business Combination candidates, perform due diligence on prospective target businesses, pay
for travel expenditures, select the target business to merge with or acquire, and structure, negotiate and consummate the Business Combination.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the SEC, and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management
of the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and operation results. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

REDWOODS ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
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, 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 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 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.
Use of Estimates
In preparing these financial statements in conformity
with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s management makes 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 and the reported expenses during the reporting
period.
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 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 $ 6,670 in cash and did not have
any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022.
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of
FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs – SEC Materials” (“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs were $ 7,334,539 consisting principally
of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses that are directly related to the IPO and charged to stockholders’ equity upon
the completion of the IPO.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method
of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation
allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC 740 prescribes
a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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 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 March 31, 2022. 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 subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
8
REDWOODS ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
The Company has identified the United States as
its only “major” tax jurisdiction.
The Company may be subject to potential examination
by federal and state taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing
and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s
management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
The provision for income taxes was deemed to be
immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is computed by dividing net
loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding shares of common stock subject
to forfeiture by the Initial Stockholders. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 375,000 shares of common
stock that are subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters (see Note 5). At March
31, 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into
shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per
share for the period presented. As a result of the underwriters’ full exercise their over-allotment option on April 7, 2022, no
insider shares are currently subject to forfeiture.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal
Depository Insurance Coverage of $ 250,000 . The Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account as of March 31, 2022.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and
liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” approximates the carrying
amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified
or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance
in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment
considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant
to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether
the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net
cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This
assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly
period end date while the warrants are outstanding. The Company determined that upon further review of the warrant agreement, the Public
Warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment and private warrants (see Note 7) do not meet
criteria for equity classification.
9
REDWOODS ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject
to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock
subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable
common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption
upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other
times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that
are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. The Company recognizes
changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable c ommon stock to
equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of shares of redeemable
c ommon stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated
deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero .
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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) (“ASU
2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation
of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance
pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures
for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends
the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU
2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024 for the Company and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early
adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have
on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
Pursuant to the IPO on April 4, 2022, the Company
sold 10,000,000 Public Units at $ 10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 100,000,000 . Each Public Unit consists of one share
of common stock (“Public Share”), one right (“Public Right”) and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”).
Each Public Right will convert into one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon the consummation of a Business Combination. Each
Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Public
Warrants will become exercisable on the later of the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or 12 months from
the closing of the IPO, and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or earlier
upon redemption or liquidation.
All
of the 10,000,000 Public Shares sold as part of the Public Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the
redemption of such Public Shares if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection
with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or in connection with the Company’s
liquidation. In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC
480- 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be
classified outside of permanent equity.

T he Company’s
redeemable common stock is subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in
ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes
in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will
become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately
as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The
Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction
to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).
Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the
Sponsor and Chardan purchased an aggregate of 477,500 Private Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Unit for an aggregate purchase price
of $ 4,775,000 in a private placement. The Private Units are identical to the Public Units except with respect to certain registration
rights and transfer restrictions. The net proceeds from the Private Units were added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust
Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private
Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Units
and all underlying securities will expire worthless.
Note 5 — Related Party Transactions
Insider Shares
On January 4, 2022, the Company issued 2,875,000
shares of common stock to the Initial Stockholders (the “Insider Shares”) for an aggregated consideration of $ 25,000 , or approximately
$ 0.001 per share.
As of March 31, 2022, there were 2,875,000 Insider
Shares issued and outstanding, among which, up to 375,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Initial Stockholders to the extent that
the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full, so that the Initial Stockholders would collectively own 20 % of the Company’s
issued and outstanding shares after the IPO (assuming the Initial Stockholders did not purchase any Public Shares in the IPO and excluding
the Private Units). As a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option on April 7, 2022, no insider shares
are currently subject to forfeiture.
The Initial Stockholders have agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Insider Shares until, with respect to 50% of the Insider Shares, the earlier of six months after the consummation of a Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 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 after a Business Combination and, with respect to the remaining 50% of the Insider Shares, until the six months after the consummation of a Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On January 4, 2022 and February 28, 2022, the
Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate amount of $ 200,000 to be used, in part, for transaction costs incurred in connection
with the IPO (the “Promissory Notes”). The Promissory Notes were unsecured, interest-free and due on the closing the IPO.
The Company repaid the outstanding balance of $ 200,000 as of March 31, 2022 to the Sponsor on April 7 and April 8, 2022.

Related Party Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs
in connection with searching for a target business or consummating an intended initial business combination, the initial stockholders,
officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. In the event that the initial
business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such
loaned amounts, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Such loans would be evidenced by promissory notes.
The notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion,
up to $ 500,000 of the notes may be converted upon consummation of the Company’s business combination into private units at a price
of $ 10.00 per unit. The purchase price of these units will approximate the fair value of such units when issued. However, if it is determined,
at the time of issuance, that the fair value of such units exceeds the purchase price, the Company would record compensation expense for
the excess of the fair value of the units on the day of issuance over the purchase price in accordance with Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) 718 - Compensation - Stock Compensation.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had no borrowings
under the working capital loans.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement, commencing
on the effective date of the IPO through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation,
to pay the Sponsor a total of $ 10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support. However, pursuant
to the terms of such agreement, the Sponsor agreed to defer the payment of such monthly fee. Any such unpaid amount will accrue without
interest and be due and payable no later than the date of the consummation of initial Business Combination.
Note 6 — Commitments and
Contingencies
Risks and Uncertainties
Management is currently evaluating the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect
on the Company’s future financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, there has not been a significant
impact as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
future outcome of this uncertainty.
Registration Rights
The holders of the insider shares, the private units, securities underlying the Unit Purchase Option and any units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans or extension loans (and any securities underlying the private units or units issued upon conversion of the working capital loans or extension loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the IPO. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands (or one demand with respect to the securities underlying the Unit Purchase Option) that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Insider Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares of common stock are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the private units and units issued in payment of working capital loans made to us can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing on the date that the Company consummate an initial business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of an initial business combination. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, Chardan may not exercise its demand and “piggyback” registration rights after five and seven years, respectively, after the commencement of sales of this offering and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement
The Company has granted Chardan, the representative
of the underwriters, a 45-day option from the date of this prospectus to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments,
if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On April 7, 2022, Chardan exercised the over-allotment option
in full (see Note 8).
The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting
discount of 2.5 % of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $ 2,500,000 . In addition, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred fee of
3.75 % of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $ 3,750,000 (or $ 4,312,500 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), which will be
paid upon the closing of a Business Combination from the amounts held in the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Unit Purchase Option
Simultaneously with the IPO, the Company sold
to Chardan, for $ 100 , an option (the “Unit Purchase Option”) to purchase 300,000 Units (or 345,000 units if the over-allotment
option is exercised in full) exercisable at $ 11.50 per Unit (or an aggregate exercise price of $ 3,450,000 , or $ 3,967,500 if the over-allotment
option is exercised in full) commencing on the later of six months from the effective date of the registration statement related to the
IPO and the consummation of a Business Combination. The Unit Purchase Option may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the
holder’s option, and expires five years from the effective date of the registration statement related to the IPO. The Units issuable
upon exercise of the Unit Purchase Option are identical to those offered in the IPO. The Company accounts for the Unit Purchase Option,
inclusive of the receipt of $ 100 cash payment, as an expense of the IPO resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity.
The Unit Purchase Option and such units purchased pursuant to the Unit Purchase Option, as well as the common stock underlying such units,
the rights included in such units, the shares of common stock that are issuable for the rights included in such units, the warrants included
in such units, and the shares underlying such warrants, have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day
lock-up pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). The Unit Purchase Option grants to holders demand and “piggy back” rights
for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective date of the registration statement with respect to the registration
under the Securities Act of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the Unit Purchase Option. The Company
will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions which will be paid for by
the holders themselves. The exercise price and number of units issuable upon exercise of the Unit Purchase Option may be adjusted in certain
circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or the Company’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.
However, the option will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below its exercise price.
Right of First Refusal
The Company has granted Chardan a right of first
refusal, for a period of 18 months after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination, to act as lead underwriters or minimally
as a co-manager, with at least 30% of the economics; or, in the case of a three-handed deal 20% of the economics, for any and all future
public and private equity and debt offerings during such period.
Note 7 — Stockholders’
Equity
Common
Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $ 0.0001
per share. Holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At March 31, 2022, there were 2,875,000 shares of common
stock issued and outstanding (excluding 10,000,000 shares subject to possible redemption), of which an aggregate of up to 375,000 shares
are subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full, so that the initial
stockholders would own 20 % of the issued and outstanding shares after the IPO. As a result of the underwriters’ full exercise their
over-allotment option on April 7, 2022, no insider shares are currently subject to forfeiture.
Rights — Each
holder of a right will receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the
holder of such right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon
conversion of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional
shares upon consummation of a Business Combination, as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price
paid for by investors in the IPO. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will
not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration
the holders of the common stock will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into common stock basis and each holder of a right
will be required to affirmatively covert its rights in order to receive 1/10 share underlying each right (without paying additional consideration).
The shares issuable upon conversion of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).

REDWOODS ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
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 rights will not receive
any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of
the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure
to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company
be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, holders of the rights might not receive the shares of common stock underlying
the rights.
Warrants — Each
redeemable warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment
as described in this prospectus. The warrants will become exercisable on the later of the completion of an initial Business Combination
and 12 months from the closing of the IPO. However, no Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective
and current registration statement covering the issuance of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus
relating to such common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the issuance of the common stock issuable
upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 90 days from the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination,
warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to
maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration
under the Securities Act. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a
cashless basis. The warrants will expire five years from the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time or earlier redemption.
In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional
shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the Company’s
initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $ 9.50 per share (with such issue price or effective
issue price to be determined in good faith by our board of directors), (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 the Company’s initial Business Combination,
and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period starting
on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market
Price”) is below $ 9.50 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115 %
of the Market Price, and the $ 16.50 per share redemption trigger price described below will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal
to 165 % of the Market Value.
The Company may redeem the outstanding Public
Warrants at any time while the warrants are exercisable:
● 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, which the Company refers to as the 30-day redemption period;
● if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $ 16.50 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 ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the to the warrant holders.

REDWOODS ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption,
management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,”
as described in the warrant agreement. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the whole warrants for
that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common
stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value”
(defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price
of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption
is sent to the holders of warrants.
Except as described above, no warrants will be
exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue common stock unless at the time a holder seeks to exercise such warrant, a
prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the common stock have been registered or
qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of
the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current prospectus relating
to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, the Company cannot assure that
it will be able to do so and, if the Company does not maintain a current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise
of the warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their warrants and the Company will not be required to settle any such warrant exercise.
If the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the common stock is not
qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside, the Company will not be required
to net cash settle or cash settle the warrant exercise, the warrants may have no value, the market for the warrants may be limited and
the warrants may expire worthless.
The private warrants have terms and provisions
that are identical to those of the warrants being sold as part of the units in the IPO, except that the private warrants (i) will be exercisable
either for cash or on a cashless basis at the holder’s option and (ii) will not be redeemable by the Company, in either case as
long as the private warrants are held by the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees.
Note 8 — Subsequent Events
In accordance with ASC 855,
“Subsequent Events,” the Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date
up to May 16, 2022 the date that the financial statement was issued. Based on this review, except the event described below, the
Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statement.
On April 4, 2022, the Company consummated the
IPO of 10,000,000 units (which does not include the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters in the IPO) at an offering
price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000, which is described in Note 3. Simultaneously with the IPO, the Company
sold to its Sponsor and Chardan 377,500 units and 100,000 units, respectively, at $10.00 per unit in a private placement generating total
gross proceeds of $ 4,775,000 , which is described in Note 4.
On April 7, 2022, Chardan, as the representative
of the underwriters, exercised the over-allotment option and purchased 1,500,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating
gross proceeds of $15,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the over-allotment Units, the Company consummated the sale of an additional
aggregate of 52,500 Private Units with the Sponsor and Chardan at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $525,000.
Total proceeds of $15,150,000 (net of underwriting fees of $375,000) from the sale of the over-allotment units and the additional Private
Units were placed in the Trust Account.
On April 7 and April 8, 2022, the Company repaid $ 200,000 outstanding
balance at March 31, 2022 to the Sponsor, under related party loans evidenced by promissory notes issued on January 4, 2022 and February
28, 2022.
