FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, or
the “Securities Act,” and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. The statements contained
in this report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited
to, statements regarding our or our management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In
addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including
any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believe,” “continue,”
“could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,”
“possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “project,” “should,” “would”
and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not
forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q may include, for example, statements about our:
●
ability
to complete our initial business combination;
●
success
in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors following our initial business combination;
●
officers
and directors allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with our business or in approving
our initial business combination, as a result of which they would then receive expense reimbursements;
●
potential
ability to obtain additional financing to complete a business combination;
●
pool
of prospective target businesses;
●
ability
of our officers and directors to generate a number of potential investment opportunities;
●
potential
change in control if we acquire one or more target businesses for shares;
●
public
securities’ potential liquidity and trading;
●
the
lack of a market for our securities;
●
expectations
regarding the time during which we will be an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act;
●
use
of proceeds not held in the trust account or available to us from interest income on the trust account balance; or
●
financial
performance following our IPO.
The
forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments
and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated.
These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions
that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may
vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable
securities laws.

NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
Golden
Path Acquisition Corporation (“Golden Path” or the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman
Islands on May 9, 2018. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”).
Golden Path Merger Sub Corporation (“Merger
Sub”) is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands for the purpose of effecting the Business Combination and to serve as the
vehicle for, and be subsumed by, MC Hologram Inc. (“MC”), pursuant to the Merger with MC Hologram Inc. Merger Sub is wholly
owned by Golden Path and conducts no activities.
Although
the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company
intends to focus on businesses that have a connection to the Asian market. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company
and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not
commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering
completed on June 24, 2021 and in connection with the negotiation and consummation of a business combination with MC Hologram Inc. as
described below. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of dividend income from investing the proceeds derived from the
initial public offering and private placement completed on June 24, 2021. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Financing
The
registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering” as described in Note
4) was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 21, 2021. On June 24,
2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 5,750,000 ordinary units (the “Public Units”), which includes
the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 750,000 Public Units, at $ 10.00 per Public Unit, generating
gross proceeds of $ 57,500,000 .
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 270,500 units (the “Private Units”)
at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement to Greenland Asset Management Corporation (the “Sponsor”), generating
gross proceeds of $ 2,705,000 , which is described in Note 5.
Transaction
costs amounted to $ 2,887,500 , consisting of $ 1,150,000 of underwriting fees, $ 1,437,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $ 300,000 of
other offering costs. In addition, at September 30, 2021, cash of $ 35,878 was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for
the payment of offering costs and for working capital purposes.
Trust
Account
Upon
the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement, $ 58,075,962 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”)
with Wilmington Trust, National Association acting as trustee. The funds held in the Trust Account can be invested in United States government
treasury bills, bonds or notes, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule
2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination
and (ii) the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the Public Offering. Placing
funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to
have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company
waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such
agreements. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence
on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Additionally, the interest earned on the Trust Account
balance may be released to the Company to pay the Company’s tax obligations.

Business
Combination
The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
and sale of the Private Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating
a Business Combination. NASDAQ rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have
a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (less any deferred underwriting commissions
and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will
only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
The
Company will provide its shareholders 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 shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means
of a tender offer. In connection with an Initial Business Combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination
at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against
a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least
$ 5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding
shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the
tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder,
together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group”
(as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted
from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.
If
a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the
Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender
offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the
same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
The
shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially
$10.10 per Public Share, subject to increase of up to an additional $0.30 per Public Share in the event that the Sponsor elects to extend
the period of time to consummate a Business Combination (see below), plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust
Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to shareholders
who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter (as
discussed in Note 9). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s
rights or warrants. The ordinary shares will be recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of
the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.”

to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association with respect to the Company’s

does not seek shareholder approval in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association relating to shareholders’ rights of pre-Business Combination activity and (d) that the Founder Shares
and Private Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated.
However, the shareholders will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased
during or after the Initial Public Offering if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination.
On
September 10, 2021, Golden Path entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for a Business Combination
between Golden Path and MC Hologram Inc. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination will be effected as a stock transaction
and is intended to be qualified as a tax-free reorganization. The Merger Agreement is by and among Golden Path, Merger Sub, and MC, a
Cayman Islands limited liability company as the representative of MC’s stockholders. The aggregate consideration for the Acquisition
Merger is $ 450,000,000 , payable in the form of 44,554,455 newly issued shares of common stock of Merger Sub (“Merger Sub Common
Stock”) valued at $10.10 per share.
Upon
the closing of the Business Combination, the former Golden Path shareholders will receive the consideration specified below and the former
MC stockholders will receive an aggregate of 44,554,455 shares of Merger Sub Common Stock.
Liquidation
The
Company will have until June 23, 2022 to consummate a Business Combination. However, if the Company anticipates that it may not be
able to consummate a Business Combination within 12 months (including the proposed merger with MC Hologram Inc,), the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business
Combination up to nine times, each by an additional month (for a total of 21 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
Sponsor or its affiliate or designees must deposit into the Trust Account $ 191,667
(approximately $0.033 per Public Share), up to an aggregate of $ 1,725,000 ,
or $0.30 per Public Share, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each one month extension. Any funds which may be
provided to extend the time frame will be in the form of a loan to us from our sponsor. The terms of any such loan have not been
definitely negotiated, provided, however, any loan will be interest free and will be repayable only if we compete a business
combination.
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 no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of
the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account,
including interest earned (net of taxes payable and less interest to pay dissolution expenses up to $ 50,000 ), divided by the number of
then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including
the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible
following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed
to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide
for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting
commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period
and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the 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 the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($ 10.00 ).
The
Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products
sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce
the amounts in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.10 per share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account
as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, except as to any claims by
a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s
indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 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. The Company will seek
to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have
all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements
with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

NOTE 2 – REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On
April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement
regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff
Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)”
(the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain provisions that provided for potential changes
to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant, which terms are similar to those contained
in the warrant agreement governing the Company’s warrants.
The
Company’s management evaluated the warrants under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts
in Entity’s Own Equity . ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked
financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other
things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s common stock. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s
common stock if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an
input to the fair value of the warrant. The Company’s Private Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common shares in
the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed
option on equity shares. In addition, the tender offer provision included in the warrant agreement fails the “classified in shareholders’
equity” criteria as contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-25. As a result, the only Private Warrants shall be classified as liabilities
and the Public Warrants shall be classified as equity and the Company reevaluated the accounting treatment of the 5,750,000 warrants
that were issued to the Company’s sponsor in an initial public offering (“Public Warrants”). The Company previously
accounted for the Public Warrants as components of liabilities.
In
further consideration of the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging —
Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815”), the Company concluded that a provision in the warrant agreement related
to certain transfer provisions precludes the Private Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Private Warrants
meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Private Warrants should be recorded as derivative liabilities on
the balance sheet and measured at fair value at inception (on the date of the Initial Public Offering) and at each reporting date in
accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , with changes in fair value recognized in the Statements of Operations in the
period of change.
In
addition, in preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September
30, 2021, the Company concluded it should revise its condensed consolidated financial statements to classify all common stock subject
to possible redemption in temporary equity. In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments,
ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480), paragraph 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 had previously
classified a portion of its common stock in permanent equity. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its
charter provides that currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets
to be less than $ 5,000,001 . The Company considered that the threshold would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable
and thus would be required to be disclosed outside equity. As a result, the Company revised its previously filed financial statements
to classify all common stock as temporary equity and to recognize accretion from the initial book value to redemption value at the time
of its Initial Public Offering and in accordance with ASC 480. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of common stock
resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. Pursuant to ASC Topic 250, Accounting Changes and
Error Corrections issued by the FASB and Staff Accounting Bulletin 99, Materiality (“SAB 99”) issued by the SEC,
the Company determined the impact of the error was immaterial.

GOLDEN
PATH ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Currency expressed in United

● Principles
of consolidation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.
● 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 independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from
the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments
not previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do
not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. 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
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make 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 amounts of 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 may differ 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.
There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
● Cash
and investments held in trust account
At
September 30, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account are held in cash and US Treasury securities. Investment securities in the Company’s
Trust Account consisted of $ 58,075,962 in United States Treasury Bills.
The
Company classifies marketable securities as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classification as of each
balance sheet date. All marketable securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale
securities are recorded in other comprehensive loss. The Company evaluates its investments to assess whether those with unrealized loss
positions are other than temporarily impaired. Impairments are considered other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in
credit risk or if it is likely the Company will sell the securities before the recovery of the cost basis. Realized gains and losses
and declines in value determined to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported
in other income (expense), net in the statements of operations.

● Deferred
offering costs
Deferred
offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly
related to the Initial Public Offering and that were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public
Offering.
● Warrant
liabilities
The Company accounts for its outstanding
Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D and 7F. Management has determined that under the Private
Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the
Private Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Private Warrants to fair value at each reporting period.
Management has further determined that its Public Warrants qualify for equity treatment. Warrant liability is subject to
re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of
operations. The Private Warrants are valued using a Black Scholes model.
● Ordinary
shares subject to possible redemption
The
Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Ordinary shares subject
to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary
shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption
upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other
times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights
that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at
September 30, 2021, 5,750,000 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside
of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
● Offering
costs
The
Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A –
Expenses of Offering . Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet
date that are related to the Initial Public Offering and that were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial
Public Offering.
● 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.
F- 12
GOLDEN
PATH ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Currency expressed in United
States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
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 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the 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 September
30, 2021 due to the short maturities of such instruments. See Note 8 for the disclosure of the Company’s assets and liabilities
that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
● Concentration
of credit risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and trust accounts in a financial institution
which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $ 250,000 . The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts
and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
● Income
taxes
Income
taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “ Income Taxes ” (“ASC 740”). Under
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income
in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC
740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements
uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the
financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. The Company’s
management determined that the British Virgin Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest
and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts
accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. 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 may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the area 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
foreign tax laws.
The
Company’s tax provision is zero for the period ended September 30, 2021.
The
Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands Company, and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements
in the Cayman Islands or the United States.

● Net
loss per share
The
Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 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 common stock and non-redeemable common stock 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 common stock. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value
of the common stock subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders. As of September 30,
2021, the Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering to purchase an aggregate of 1,454,000
shares in the calculation of diluted net loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future
events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive and the Company did not have any other dilutive securities and other
contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into 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.
The
net loss per share presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations is based on the following:

5 — PUBLIC OFFERING
On
June 24, 2021, the Company sold 5,750,000 units at a price of $ 10.00 per Public Unit in the Public Offering. Each Public Unit consists
of one ordinary share of the Company, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Public Shares”), one right (the “Public Rights”)
and one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrant”). Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of an
ordinary share upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half (1/2)
of an ordinary share at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per whole share (see Note 8).
The
Company paid an upfront underwriting discount of $ 1,150,000 , equal to 2% of the gross offering proceeds to the underwriter at the closing
of the Initial Public Offering, with an additional fee of $1,437,500 (the “Deferred Underwriting Discount”) or 2.5% of the
gross offering proceeds payable upon the Company’s completion of the Business Combination. The Deferred Underwriting Discount will
become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Business Combination.
In the event that the Company does not close the Business Combination, the underwriter has waived its right to receive the Deferred Underwriting
Discount. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Underwriting Discount.

7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder
Shares
In
May 2018, the Company issued one ordinary share to the Sponsor for no consideration. In January 2021, the Company effected a 10 for 1
share split, resulting in an aggregate of 10 ordinary shares outstanding. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated
to reflect the share split. On January 6, 2021, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 1,150,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase
price of $25,000, or approximately $0.02 per share. On March 26, 2021, the Company issued an additional 287,500 founder shares to the
Sponsor in connection with a recapitalization.
The
founders and our officers and directors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares (except to certain permitted
transferees) until, with respect to 50% of the Founder Shares, the earlier of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of a
Business Combination, or (ii) the date on which the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per
share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading
day period commencing after a Business Combination, with respect to the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares, upon six months after the
date of the consummation of a Business Combination, or earlier, in each case, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the Company consummates
a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders
having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Administrative
Services Agreement
An
affiliate of the Sponsor agreed, commencing on June 24, 2021 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination
and its liquidation, to make available to the Company certain general and administrative services, including office space, utilities
and administrative services, as the Company may require from time to time. The Company has agreed to pay the affiliate of the Sponsor
$ 10,000 per month for these services.
Related
Party Loan
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor,
or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working
Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation
of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation
of a Business Combination into additional Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. In the event that a Business Combination does
not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds
held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.

Party Extensions Loan
As
discussed in Note 1, the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to nine times, each by an additional
month (for a total of 21 months to complete a Business Combination). In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate
a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees must deposit into the Trust Account $ 191,667 (approximately $0.033
per Public Share), up to an aggregate of $ 1,725,000 , or $0.30 per Public Share, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for
each one month extension. Any such payments would be made in the form of a loan. The terms of the promissory note to be issued in connection
with any such loans have not yet been negotiated. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned
amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the
Company will not repay such loans. Furthermore, the letter agreement with the shareholders contains a provision pursuant to which the
Sponsor has agreed to waive its right to be repaid for such loans in the event that the Company does not complete a Business Combination.
The Sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for the Company to complete
a Business Combination.
Related
Party Advances
In
the event the Sponsor pays for any expense or liability on behalf of the Company, then such payments would be accounted for as loan to
the Company by the Sponsor, Greenland Asset Management Corporation.
As
of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company owed a balance of $ 74,740 and $ 36,784 to Greenland Asset Management Corporation.
NOTE
8 – SHAREHOLDER’S DEFICIT
Ordinary
Shares
The
Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 ordinary shares, with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders of the ordinary shares are
entitled to one vote for each ordinary share.
In
January 2021, the Company effected a 10 for 1 share split, resulting in an aggregate of 10 ordinary shares outstanding. All share and
per-share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share split.
On
January 6, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,150,000 founder shares to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $ 25,000
in cash.
On
March 26, 2021, the Company issued an additional 287,500 founder shares to the Sponsor in connection with a recapitalization.
On
June 24, 2021, the Company sold 5,750,000 units at a price of $ 10.00 per Public Unit in the Initial Public Offering.
Simultaneously
on June 24, 2021, the Company issued 270,500 ordinary shares under the private placement of 270,500 private units at $10 per unit, to
the Sponsor.
As
of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 1,708,000 and 10 ordinary shares issued and outstanding excluding 5,750,000 and 0 shares
are subject to possible conversion.
Rights
Each
holder of a right will receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share 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 exchange
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 Initial Public Offering. 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 ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary share basis and each
holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert its rights in order to receive 1/10 share underlying each right (without
paying additional consideration). The shares issuable upon exchange 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, the rights may expire
worthless.
NOTE
9 – WARRANT LIABILITIES
Each Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof
to purchase one-half (1/2) of one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per full share, subject to adjustment as described in Form S-1 Amendment
No. 2 filed on June 11, 2021. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of
shares. This means that only an even number of warrants may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder.
No Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash
unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants
and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. It is the Company’s current intention to have an effective and current
registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary
shares in effect promptly following consummation of an initial business combination.
The
Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) the consummation of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the effective
date of the registration statement relating to the Initial Offering. No Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company
has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a
current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15
business days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file, and within 60 business days
following a Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise
of the warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of
the Public Warrants is not effective within 60 days, the holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement
and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise the Public 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 Public Warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five
years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company may call its warrants for redemption
(excluding the Private Warrants), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:
●
at
any time while the Public Warrants are exercisable,
●
upon
not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Public Warrant holder,
●
if,
and only if, the reported last sale price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $16.50 per share, for any 20 trading days within
a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the notice of redemption to Public Warrant holders, and
●
if,
and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the issuance of the ordinary shares underlying such
warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter
until the date of redemption.

The Private Warrants are identical to the Public
Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants and the ordinary shares issuable upon
the exercise of the Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination,
subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and will be non-redeemable
so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than
the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such
holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
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. The exercise price and number of ordinary
shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary
dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary
shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. 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 warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution
from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire
worthless.
NOTE
10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
fair value of the Company’s 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 our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The
following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring
basis as of September 30, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine
such fair value.

The Private Warrants are accounted for as liabilities
in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the balance sheets.
The
Company established the initial fair value for the Private Warrants at $ 625,000 on June 24, 2021, the date of the Company’s Initial
Public Offering, using a Black-Scholes model. The Company allocated the proceeds received from the sale of Private Units, first to the
Private Warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds recorded as ordinary shares
subject to possible redemption, and ordinary shares based on their relative fair values recorded at the initial measurement date. The
warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs.
The
key inputs into the binomial model and Black-Scholes model were as follows at their measurement dates:

As

30, 2021 was approximately $ 1,000 .
To
the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair
value requires more judgment. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower
than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised
by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3. Level 3 financial liabilities consist of
the Warrant liability for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant
judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period
based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
References
in this report on form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) to “we,” “us” or the “Company” refer
to Golden Path Acquisition Corporation. References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our
officers and directors, references to the “Sponsor” refer to Greenland Asset Management Corporation. The following discussion
and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set
forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Background
and Overview
Prior
to completion of its initial public offering on June 24, 2021, Golden Path Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempt company (the
“Company”), was a private company incorporated on May 9, 2018. Golden Path is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman
Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization
or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
Our
efforts in identifying prospective target businesses will not be limited to a particular geographic region, although we intend to focus
on businesses that have a connection to the Asian market. We believe that we will add value to these businesses primarily by providing
them with access to the U.S. capital markets.
We
presently have no revenue, have had losses since inception from incurring formation costs and have had no operations other than completing
our initial public offering and since its completion the active solicitation of a target business with which to complete a business combination.
Prior to our initial public offering as described below, we had relied upon the sale of our securities to our Sponsor and loans from
our Sponsor to fund our operations.
On
June 21, 2021, the Company’s registration statement (File No. 333-255297) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to
the initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On
June 24, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 5,000,000 units (the “Units”). In addition, the underwriters exercised
in full the over-allotment option for an additional 750,000 Units, resulting in the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 5,750,000 Units.
Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per ordinary share (“Share”), one redeemable warrant (“Warrant”)
entitling its holder to purchase one-half of one Share at a price of $11.50 per Share, and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one
Share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (“Private Placement”) with its sponsor, Greenland Asset Management Corporation, a British Virgin Islands company
(“Sponsor”) for the purchase of 270,500 Units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating
total proceeds of $2,705,000, pursuant to the Private Placement Unit Purchase Agreement dated June 17, 2021.
The
Sponsor had previously advanced expenses or loaned the Company the sum of $453,364, evidenced in part by a note dated as of December
19, 2020 which loan was payable upon the earlier of completion of the IPO or December 31, 2021. In connection with the completion of
the IPO, the note was repaid in full via an offset of certain amounts due under the Private Placement subscription.
As
of June 24, 2021, an aggregate total of $58,075,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement Unit Purchase Agreement
transaction completed with the Sponsor (as described in Item 3.02 below), Greenland Asset Management Corporation, a British Virgin Islands
company, were deposited in a trust account (“Trust Account”) established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders,
established with Wilmington Trust, National Association acting as trustee.
1
Transaction
costs for the IPO amounted to $2,887,500, consisting of $1,150,000 of underwriting fees, $1,437,500 of deferred underwriting fees and
$300,000 of other offering costs. In addition, at September 30, 2021, cash of $35,878 were held outside of the Trust Account established
at the time of our IPO and is available for the payment of offering costs and for working capital purposes. An audited balance sheet
as of June 24, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds received by the Company in connection with the consummation of the IPO and the
Private Placement Unit Purchase Agreement was previously filed by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on
June 30, 2021.
On September 10, 2021, Golden Path entered into
a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for a Business Combination between Golden Path and MC Hologram
Inc. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination will be effected as a stock for stock transaction and is intended to be
qualified as a tax-free reorganization. The Merger Agreement is by and among Golden Path, Merger Sub, and MC Hologram Inc., a Cayman Islands
limited liability company. The aggregate consideration for the is $450,000,000, payable in the form of 44,554,455 newly issued ordinary
shares of the Company valued at $10.10 per share.
Upon the closing of the Business Combination,
the former MC stockholders will receive an aggregate of 44,554,455 shares of the Company’s Ordinary Shares.
We
are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities
Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to 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 of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy
statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval
of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may
be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.
In
addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended
transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other
words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise
apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
We
will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of
the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed
to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million
as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during
the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” shall have the meaning associated with it in
the JOBS Act.
We
will have until 12 months from the closing of our IPO to consummate our initial business combination. However, if we anticipate that
we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within 12 months (including the proposed combination with MC Hologram), we may, by resolution of our board if requested
by our sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to nine times, each by an additional one month
(for a total of up to 21 months to complete a business combination), subject to the sponsor depositing additional funds into the
trust account as set out below. Pursuant to the terms of our memorandum and articles of association and the trust agreement entered
into between us, Wilmington Trust National Association and Vstock Transfer LLC on the closing of our IPO, in order for the time
available for us to consummate our initial business combination to be extended, our sponsor or its affiliates or designees, upon
five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the trust account $166,667, or $191,667 if the
underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full (approximately $0.033 per public share in either case), up to an
aggregate of $1,500,000 (or $1,725,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), or $0.30 per public
share (for an aggregate of 9 months), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each extension. In the event that we
receive notice from our sponsor five days prior to the applicable deadline of its wish for us to effect an extension, we intend to
issue a press release announcing such intention at least three days prior to the applicable deadline. In addition, we intend to
issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline announcing whether or not the funds had been timely deposited. Our
sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the trust account to extend the time for us to complete our
initial business combination. If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within the applicable time period, we
will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares for a pro rata
portion of the funds held in the trust account and as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the
approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations
under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the
warrants and rights will be worthless.

Results
of Operations
From
our incorporation until late 2020 we were essentially dormant. In late 2020, we commenced preparing for the initial public offering which
was completed in June 2021. Since the initial public offering, our activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination
candidates, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination.
We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing
compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. We expect our expenses to increase substantially after this period.
We
presently have no revenue, have had losses since inception from incurring formation costs and have had no operations other than completing
our initial public offering and since its completion the active solicitation of a target business with which to complete a business combination.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we incurred $395,893 and $4,896 in formation, general and administrative expenses,
respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we incurred $595,952 and $9,787 in formation, general and administrative
expenses, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we had net losses of $394,292 and $4,896, respectively
and net losses of $594,283 and $9,787 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had net losses of $0.05 and $1.65 per share, respectively.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of June 24, 2021, an aggregate total of $58,075,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement Unit Purchase Agreement
transaction completed with the Sponsor (as described in Item 3.02 below), Greenland Asset Management Corporation, a British Virgin Islands
company, were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders, established with Wilmington
Trust, National Association acting as trustee.
Transaction
costs for the IPO amounted to $2,887,500, consisting of $1,150,000 of underwriting fees, $1,437,500 of deferred underwriting fees and
$300,000 of other offering costs. In addition, at September 30, 2021, cash of $35,878 and cash held in escrow of $58,075,962 were held
in Trust Account.
We
intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the initial public offering, including the funds held in the Trust Account, to
acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole
or in part as consideration to effect our 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 business combination if the funds available to us outside
of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
We
intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence
on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their
representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate
and complete a business combination
3
At
the present time, we do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our
business which is solely to source a potential business combination target. This belief is based on the fact that while we may begin
preliminary due diligence of a target business in connection with an indication of interest, we intend to undertake in-depth due diligence,
depending on the circumstances of the relevant prospective acquisition, only after we have negotiated and signed a letter of intent or
other preliminary agreement that addresses the terms of our initial business combination. However, if our estimate of the costs of undertaking
in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial business combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or the amount
of interest available to use from the trust account is minimal as a result of the current interest rate environment, we may be required
to raise additional capital, the amount, availability and cost of which is currently unascertainable. In this event, we could seek such
additional capital through loans or additional investments from our Sponsor or members of our management team, but neither the Sponsor
nor members of our management team are under any obligation to advance funds to, or invest in, us. In the event that the 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 our 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 business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the notes
may be converted upon consummation of our business combination into additional Private Units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The terms
of such loans by our initial Sponsor, officers and directors, or their affiliates, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements
exist with respect to such loans.
Off-balance
sheet financing arrangements
We
have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021. 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
As
of September 30, 2021 we do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities
other than an agreement to pay our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for general and administrative services, including office space,
utilities and administrative services to the Company. We began incurring these fees on June 24, 2021 and will continue to incur these
fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination and the Company’s liquidation.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“GAAP”) 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 financial statements, and income and expenses during
the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company has not identified any significant accounting
policies.
Cash
and Investments
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The Company classifies marketable securities as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classification as of
each balance sheet date. All marketable securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale
securities are recorded in other comprehensive loss. The Company evaluates its investments to assess whether those with unrealized loss
positions are other than temporarily impaired. Impairments are considered other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in
credit risk or if it is likely the Company will sell the securities before the recovery of the cost basis. Realized gains and losses
and declines in value determined to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported
in other income (expense), net in the statements of operations.

Warrant
Related Accounting Policies
The
Company accounts for warrants as 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
ordinary 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. Certain terms and conditions of the public
warrants and private warrants result in the classification of these financial instruments as a liability as opposed to equity. The
classification of these financial instruments as a liability results in the application of derivative liability accounting, which
entails a quarterly valuation of these liabilities with any change in value required to be reflected in our quarterly and annual
financial statements. The determination by us to classify the public warrants and private warrants as a liability results in us
having to incur significant expense in valuing such liabilities on a quarterly and annual basis, and the resulting liability is and
will be reflected on our financial statements, and such classification and ongoing expense may make it more difficult for us to
complete an initial business combination. Management has elected to classify its Private Warrants as liabilities and its Public
warrants as equity.
Ordinary
Shares as Temporary Equity
The
Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Ordinary shares subject
to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary
shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption
upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other
times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. As of September 30, 2021, 5,096,815 ordinary shares subject to possible
redemption which are subject to occurrence of uncertain future events and considered to be outside of the Company’s control , are
presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As
of September 30, 2021, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering,
the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the Trust Account, have been invested in U.S. government treasury
bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due
to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

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.
As
required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021. Based upon their
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were ineffective as a result of our revision of our balance sheet as of
June 24, 2021 and June 30, 2021 to reclassify our public warrants and private warrants as derivative liabilities and reclassify all common
stock as temporary equity and to recognize accretion from the initial book value to redemption value at the time of its Initial Public
Offering and in accordance with ASC 480, as described below.
Revision
of Previously Issued Financial Statements
On
June 30, 2021, we revised our prior position on accounting for public warrants and concluded that our public warrants as of June 24,
2021 should be reclassified as equity because of a misapplication in the guidance on warrant accounting. However, the non-cash adjustments
to the balance do not impact the amounts previously reported for our cash and cash equivalents, and total assets. We revisited our financial
statements to classify all public shares subject to redemption in temporary equity as of June 24, 2021 and June 30, 2021. The Company
had previously classified a portion of its ordinary shares in permanent equity. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption
threshold, its charter provides that currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible
assets to be less than $5,000,001. However, the Company considered that the threshold would not change the nature of the underlying shares
as redeemable and thus would be required to be disclosed outside equity. The non-cash adjustments to the balance do not impact the amounts
previously reported for our cash and cash equivalents, and total assets.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During
the most recently completed fiscal quarter, 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.

Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with its sponsor, Greenland
Asset Management Corporation, a British Virgin Islands company (“Sponsor”) for the purchase of 270,500 Units (the “Private
Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,705,000, pursuant to the Private Placement Unit
Purchase Agreement dated June 17, 2021, a form of which was filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement as Exhibit 10.5 to the
Registration Statement as filed with the Commission and an executed copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit 10.4.
The
Sponsor has previously advanced expenses or loaned the Company the sum of $453,364, evidenced in part by a note dated as of December
19, 2020 (as previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Registration Statement) which loan was payable upon the earlier of completion of
the IPO or December 31, 2021. In connection with the completion of the IPO, the note was repaid in full.
Each
Private Unit purchased by the Sponsor consists of one Shares, one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a Share upon the consummation
of a business combination and one private placement warrant exercisable to purchase one-half of one Share at a price of $11.50 per whole
share.
The
Sponsor was granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Units and the original
Shares (1,437,500 Ordinary Shares) acquired by it. The Sponsor, as holder of the 1,437,500 ordinary shares and the Private Units, and
units that may be issued on conversion of working capital loans which may be obtained by the Company in the future (and any securities
underlying the private placement units and the working capital loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to the registration
rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company
register such securities for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back”
registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of a business combination
and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will
bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statement.
The
Private Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve
a public offering.
