NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE
30, 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 June 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced
any operations. All activities through June 30, 2022 are related to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“IPO”
as defined below in Note 4) and, subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. 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 at an offering price of
$ 10.00 per unit (the “Public Units’), generating gross proceeds of $ 100,000,000 . Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO,
the Company sold to the Sponsor and Chardan Capital Markets LLC (“Chardan”), in a private placement, 377,500 units and 100,000
units, respectively, at $ 10.00 per unit (the “Private Units”), generating total gross proceeds of $ 4,775,000 , which is described
in Note 5.
The
Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Public Units to cover over-allotments, if any.
On April 7, 2022, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full 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 option, 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 .
Transaction
costs amounted to $ 8,365,339 , consisting $ 2,875,000 of underwriting fees, $ 4,312,500 of deferred underwriting fees (payable only upon
completion of a Business Combination) and $ 1,177,839 of other offering costs.
Upon
the closing of the IPO and the sale of Private Units on April 4, 2022, and the exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of
the additional Private Units on April 7, 2022, a total of $ 116,150,000 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
JUNE
30, 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 $1,150,000 ($0.10 per Public
Share or an aggregate of $2,300,000), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline.
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.

NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE

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 7) 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 June 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $ 447,382
and a working capital of $ 596,255 .
The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the
closing of IPO were satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $ 25,000 (see Note 6) 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 6). 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 (including the
over-allotment option) and the private placements 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 6). As of June 30, 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 unaudited condensed 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

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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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 $ 447,382 in cash and did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022.
Investments Held in Trust Account
As of June 30, 2022, the assets held in the Trust
Account were held in cash and U.S. Treasury securities. The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury securities as trading securities in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320, “Investments—Debt
and Equity Securities.” Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period.
Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in gain on investments held in Trust Account
in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of all assets held in the Trust Account are determined using available
market information and classified as Level 1 measurements.
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”. Offering costs were $ 8,365,339 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 June 30, 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.
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.

Net
Loss Per Share
The
Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The unaudited condensed statements
of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per redeemable share and income (loss) per non-redeemable share following the two-class
method of income per share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable
shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares
and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed
income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any
remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the common shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends
paid to the public shareholders. As of June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could,
potentially, be exercised or converted into common shares 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.
The
net income (loss) per share presented in the unaudited condensed statement of operations is based on the following:

Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration
of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution and money market funds held in the Trust Account. The Company has
not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account. As of
June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $ 116 million and $Nil, respectively, was over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) limit.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures” defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the
buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach,
income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs,
which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable
and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market
data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that
the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three
levels based on the inputs as follows:
Level 1 — Valuations
based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that
the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not
being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly
available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant
degree of judgment.
Level 2 — Valuations
based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted
prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other
than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally
from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.
Level 3 — Valuations
based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The fair value of the Company’s certain
assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”
approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, and other
current assets, accrued expenses, due to sponsor are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of June 30, 2022 and December 31,
2021 due to the short maturities of such instruments. See Note 9 for the disclosure of the Company’s assets and liabilities that
were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants (Public Warrants
or Private 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.
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. The Company has elected to account
for its Public Warrants as equity and the Private Warrants as liabilities.

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 common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying
amount of shares of redeemable common 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 unaudited condensed financial statements.

4 — Initial Public Offering
On April 4, 2022, pursuant to its initial public
offering (the “IPO”), the Company sold 10,000,000 Public Units at $ 10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 100,000,000 .
The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Public Units to cover over-allotments, if
any. On April 7, 2022, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full and purchased 1,500,000 Public Units at a price of
$ 10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 15,000,000 . 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 11,500,000 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.

The
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).

of $ 4,775,000 in a private placement. Simultaneously with the closing of the over-allotment option, 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 . The Private Units are identical to the Public Units except with respect to certain registration rights and transfer restrictions
and the private warrants, which 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. 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.

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 June 30, 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. For the three months and six
months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $ 30,000 and $ 30,000 , respectively, in fees for these services, of which $ 30,000 and none

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

Underwriting
Agreement
Pursuant to an underwriting agreement in connection
with the IPO, the Company granted Chardan, the representative of the underwriters, a 45-day option from the date of the prospectus for
the IPO to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Public 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 4).
The
underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of 2.5 % of the gross proceeds of the IPO (including the exercise of the over-allotment
option), or $ 2,875,000 . In addition, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred fee of 3.75 % of the gross proceeds of the IPO (including
the exercise of the over-allotment option), or $ 4,312,500 , 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 (including the closing of the over-allotment option), the Company sold to Chardan, for $ 100 , an option (the “Unit
Purchase Option”) to purchase 345,000 units exercisable at $ 11.50 per unit (or an aggregate exercise price of $ 3,967,500 ) 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 a book-running manager or placement agent, with at least 30% of the economics, for any and all future public and
private equity, equity linked and debt offerings of the Company or any of its successors or subsidiaries.
Note 8 — 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 June 30, 2022, there were 3,405,000 shares of common stock
issued and outstanding (excluding 11,500,000 shares subject to possible redemption).

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).
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.
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.

9 —Fair Value Measurements
The
fair value of the Company’s consolidated financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that
the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets
and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize
the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following
fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order
to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1:
Quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the
asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:
Observable inputs other
than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted
prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs based
on the assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following table presents information about
the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy

to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
We
are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on March 16, 2021. We were formed for the purpose of entering into a merger,
share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or
more target businesses, which we refer to herein as our “initial business combination.” Our efforts to identify a prospective
target business are not limited to any particular industry or geographic region, although we intend to focus on the carbon neutral and
energy storage industries. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering (“IPO” as defined
below) and the private placement of Private Units (as defined below), our securities, debt or a combination of cash, securities and debt,
in effecting our initial business combination.
The
issuance of additional shares of capital stock in connection with our initial business combination:
●
may significantly dilute
the equity interest of our stockholders who would not have pre-emption rights in respect of any such issuance;
●
may subordinate the rights
of holders of shares of common stock if we issue shares of preferred stock with rights senior to those afforded to our shares of
common stock;
●
could cause a change in
control if a substantial number of our shares of common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use
our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;
●
may have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control
of us; and
●
may adversely affect prevailing
market prices for our securities.
19
Similarly,
if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt, it could result in:
●
default and foreclosure
on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;
●
acceleration of our obligations
to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require
the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
●
our immediate payment of
all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;
●
our inability to obtain
necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the
debt security is outstanding;
●
using a substantial portion
of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common stock
if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund other general corporate purposes;
●
limitations on our flexibility
in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;
●
increased vulnerability
to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and
●
limitations on our ability
to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy,
and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.
We
expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete
an initial business combination will be successful.
Results
of Operations
We
have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities through June 30, 2022 were organizational
activities and those necessary to prepare for our IPO, which is described below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company
for an initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business
combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held in the Trust Account,
which is described below. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has
occurred since the date of our audited financial statements. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial
reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing,
an initial business combination.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had
a net loss of $208,826 which consisted of general and administrative expenses of $193,440, franchise tax of $39,300, change in fair value
of warrant liabilities of $122,483, and interest earned on the investments held in the Trust Account of $146,397. For the three months
ended June 30, 2021, we had no income or loss.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had
a net loss of $213,836 which consisted of general and administrative expenses of $198,450, franchise tax of $39,300, change in fair value
of warrant liabilities of $122,483, and interest earned on the investments held in the Trust Account of $146,397. For the period from
March 16, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $3,511 which consisted of formation costs.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
On April 4, 2022, we completed our initial public
offering (“IPO”) of 10,000,000 units (the “Public Units”), at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds
of $100,000,000. Each Public Unit consisted of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001, one redeemable warrant and one right to receive
one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination. Simultaneously with the closing
of the IPO, we completed the sale of 477,500 units (the “Private Units”) in a private placement, at a price of $10.00 per
Private Unit, generating gross proceeds of $4,775,000. The Private Units are identical to the Public Units sold in the IPO, except that
the private warrants will be non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held
by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.
20
We granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day
option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Public Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On April 7, 2022, the underwriters exercised
the over-allotment option in full and purchased an additional 1,500,000 Public Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at a price
of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $15,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the exercise of the over-allotment option,
we consummated the sale of 52,500 Private Units (the “Over-Allotment Private Units”) in a private placement, at a purchase
price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds of $525,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we
issued to Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”), the representative of the underwriters, for an aggregate of $100.00,
an option (the “UPO”) to purchase up to 345,000 units. The UPO is exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, commencing
on the later of the consummation of the initial business combination and six months from the date of the prospectus for the IPO and expiring
on the fifth anniversary of the date of the prospectus, at a price of $11.50 per unit.
Following
the IPO and the private placement (including the Over-Allotment Units and the Over-Allotment Private Units), a total of $116,150,000
was placed in a trust account located in the United States established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders (the
“Trust Account”). We incurred $8,365,339 of transaction costs, consisting of $2,875,000 of underwriting fees, $4,312,500
of deferred underwriting fees (payable only upon completion of an initial business combination) and $1,177,839 of other offering costs.
We
intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO and the private placement, including the funds held in the Trust Account,
in connection with our initial business combination and to pay our expenses relating thereto, including deferred underwriting discounts
and commissions payable to the underwriters in the IPO in an amount equal to 3.75% of the total gross proceeds raised in the IPO upon
consummation of our initial business combination. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to
effect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended
will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety
of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research
and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which
we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account
were insufficient to cover such expenses.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $447,382
and a working capital of $596,255. We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to allow us to operate for at least the next 12 months
(or up to 18 months if our time to complete an initial business combination is extended), assuming that an initial business combination
is not consummated during that time. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for identifying and evaluating prospective business
combination candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants
or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses,
selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the initial business combination.
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with searching for a target business or consummating the initial business combination,
our 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, we 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 initial business combination into units
at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Units. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined
and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.
21
We
do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following the IPO in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our
business. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating
our initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate
our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our
initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of
our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination.
Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of
our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds
available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our initial business combination,
if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2022. We do not participate
in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest
entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into
any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities,
or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual
Obligations
Promissory
Notes – Related Party
On January 4, 2022 and February 28, 2022, Redwoods Capital LLC (the
“Sponsor”) agreed to loan us 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 outstanding balance of $200,000 under the Promissory Notes was repaid on April 7 and April 8, 2022. As of June 30, 2022,
the Company had no borrowings under the Promissory Note.
Administrative
Services Agreement
We
have entered into an administrative services agreement pursuant to which we will pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month (subject
to deferral as described herein) for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services. Upon completion of our
initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.
Underwriting
Agreement
Pursuant
to an underwriting agreement in connection with the IPO, the underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.25 per unit, or
$2,875,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the IPO and full exercise of the over-allotment option. In addition, $0.375 per unit,
or $4,312,500 in the aggregate, will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred commissions will
become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete an initial business
combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Right
of First Refusal
Subject
to certain conditions, we granted Chardan, for a period of 18 months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination,
a right of first refusal to act as a book-running manager or placement agent, with at least 30% of the economics, for any and all future
public and private equity, equity linked and debt offerings by us or any of our successors or subsidiaries. In accordance with FINRA
Rule 5110(g)(6)(A), such right of first refusal shall not have a duration of more than three years from the commencement of sales of
this offering.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements and related
disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the unaudited condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially
differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Investments Held in Trust Account
As of June 30, 2022, the assets held in the Trust
Account were held in cash and U.S. Treasury securities. The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury securities as trading securities in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320, “Investments—Debt
and Equity Securities.” Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period.
Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in gain on investments held in Trust Account
in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of all assets held in the Trust Account are determined using available
market information and classified as Level 1 measurements.
22
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures” defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the
buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach,
income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs,
which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable
and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market
data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that
the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three
levels based on the inputs as follows:
Level 1 —
Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block
discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active
market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 —
Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in
active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets,
(iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated
by market through correlation or other means.
Level 3 —
Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The fair value of the Company’s certain
assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”
approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, and other
current assets, accrued expenses, due to sponsor are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of June 30, 2022 and December 31,
2021 due to the short maturities of such instruments. See Note 9 to unaudited condensed financial statements for the disclosure of the
Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Common
Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We
account for our common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability
instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights
that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our
control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common
stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future
events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the
stockholders’ equity section of our condensed balance sheets. We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur
and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases
or decreases in the carrying amount of shares of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or
accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero.
Net
Income (Loss) Per Share
The
Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income
(loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss)
allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net
loss less any dividends paid. We then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any re-measurement of the accretion to redemption value of the common shares
subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders.
Offering
Costs
Offering
costs were consisting principally of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that
are related to the IPO and were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. The Company allocates offering
costs between public shares and public rights based on the relative fair values of public shares and public rights.

4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting
officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the fiscal quarter ended June
30, 2022, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive
officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During
the quarter ended June 30, 2022, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
As
a smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item. We have provided a comprehensive list of risk factors
in the final prospectus for our IPO as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2022.
Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On April 4, 2022, we consummated the IPO of 10,000,000
Public Units, each Public Unit consisting of one share of common stock, one redeemable warrant and one right, for $10.00 per Public Unit,
generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at a price of
$11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock
upon the consummation of an initial business combination. We had granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day option to purchase up to
1,500,000 additional Public Units to cover over-allotments.
Subsequently, the underwriters fully exercised
the over-allotment option in full and, on April 7, 2022, purchased 1,500,000 Public Units at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Unit
for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000. The securities in the IPO, including the exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment
option, were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-263407). The SEC declared the registration
statement effective on March 30, 2022.
On
April 4, 2022, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we sold an aggregate of 477,500 Private Units in a private placement with
the Sponsor and Chardan, at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds of $4,775,000. The Private Units are identical
to the units sold in the IPO, except that (a) the Private Units and underlying securities will not be transferable, assignable or salable
until the consummation of our initial business combination, except to permitted transferees, and (b) the private warrants, so long as
they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by us, (ii) may be exercised by the
holders on a cashless basis, and (iii) will be entitled to registration rights.
On
April 7, 2022, simultaneously with the closing of the exercise of the over-allotment option, we consummated the sale of an additional
aggregate of 52,500 Private Units in a private placement to the Sponsor and Chardan, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit,
generating gross proceeds of $525,000. The Private Units were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
A total of $116,150,000 of the net proceeds from
the sale of the Public Units in the IPO and the private placement of the Private Units on April 4, 2022 and April 7, 2022 were deposited
in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
