Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Item
9A. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures
that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act,
such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer (our
“Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021, pursuant to
Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, solely due to the events
that led to the Company’s restatement of its financial statements to reclassify the Company’s Public Warrants, as well as the
revision for the temporary equity subject to possible redemption, as described in Form 8-K filed on January 20, 2022, our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective.
We
do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and
procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure
controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all
our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all potential future conditions.
Our internal control over
financial reporting did not result in the proper classification of our warrants. Since their issuance on June 24, 2021 ,
our warrants have been accounted for as liabilities within our balance sheet. On April 12, 2021, the SEC Staff issued the SEC Staff Statement
in which the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the Public warrants to
be classified as equity on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to liabilities. After discussion and evaluation, taking into consideration
the SEC Staff Statement, including with our independent auditors, we have concluded that our Public warrants should be classified as
equity with no subsequent fair value remeasurement is required.
In addition, as previously
disclosed, the Company concluded it should classify all ordinary shares 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 ordinary shares
subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. 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.
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 restated its previously filed financial statements to classify
ordinary shares subject to redemption 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 ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. As a result, management
identified these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for warrants and
ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.
On January
20, 2022, the Company revised its prior position on accounting for warrants and concluded that the Company’s previously
issued (i) audited balance sheet as of June 24 , 2021 included in the Company’s
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 30 , 2021 and (ii) audited
interim financial statements as of June 30, 2021 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 included in the Company’s
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 16, 2021 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), in each
case, should be corrected to classify public warrants as equity and all of the public shares as temporary equity and should no
longer be relied upon. On January 20, 2022, the Company filed a Form 8-K to disclose non-reliance on previously issued financial
statements. On the same day, the Company filed a Form 8K/A to restate its balance sheet as of June 24, 2021 and a Form 10Q/A to
restate its quarterly report for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. However, the non-cash adjustments to the balance do not impact
the amounts previously reported for the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, and total assets.
63
To remediate these material
weaknesses, we developed a remediation plan with assistance from our accounting advisors and have dedicated significant resources and
efforts to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to identify and appropriately
apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the complex accounting standards
that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials
and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting
applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives
will ultimately have the intended effects.
Management’s
Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting
or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the
SEC for newly public companies.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the remedial activities undertaken following the restatement of our financial statements, as described above, there
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange
Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.

65
Director
Independence
The
Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our Board of Directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined
generally as a person who has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer
of an organization that has a relationship with the company). Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement, we have two “independent
directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules prior to completion of the IPO. Our board has determined
that each of Messrs. Xu Zhang and Hai Lin and Jun Liu are independent directors under applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules. Following the
completion of our initial public offering, our independent directors had regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors
are present.
Committees
of the Board of Directors
Our
Board of Directors has three standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee and a nominating committee. Each committee
operate under a charter that has been approved by our board and have the composition and responsibilities described below. Subject to
phase-in rules and a limited exception, the Nasdaq rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed
company be comprised solely of independent directors, and the Nasdaq rules require that the compensation committee of a listed company
be comprised solely of independent directors.
Audit
Committee
We
have established an audit committee of the Board of Directors. The members of our audit committee are Messrs. Jun Liu, Hai Lin and Xu
Zhang. Mr. Jun Liu serves as chairman of the audit committee.
Each
member of the audit committee is financially literate and our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Liu qualifies as an “audit
committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.
We
adopted an audit committee charter, which detailed the principal functions of the audit committee, including:
● the
appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and any other independent registered
public accounting firm engaged by us;
● pre-approving
all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by
us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;
● reviewing
and discussing with the independent auditors all relationships the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;
● setting
clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors;
● setting
clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
● obtaining
and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent auditors describing (i) the independent auditor’s internal quality-control
procedures and (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm,
or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within, the preceding five years respecting one or more
independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;
● reviewing
and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior
to us entering into such transaction; and
● reviewing
with management, the independent auditors, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including
any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues
regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.
66
Compensation
Committee
We
have established a compensation committee of the Board of Directors. The members of our Compensation Committee are Messrs. Xu Zhang and
Hai Lin and Jun Liu. Mr. Hai Lin serves as chairman of the compensation committee. We adopted a compensation committee charter, which
detail the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:
● reviewing
and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating
our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration
(if any) of our Chief Executive Officer’s based on such evaluation;
● reviewing
and approving the compensation of all of our other officers;
● reviewing
our executive compensation policies and plans;
● implementing
and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;
● assisting
management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
● approving
all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;
● producing
a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and
● reviewing,
evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.
The
charter also provide that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant,
legal counsel or other adviser and is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser.
However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation
committee shall consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by the Nasdaq and the SEC.
Nominating
Committee
We
have also established a nominating committee of the board of directors, which consist of Messrs. Xu Zhang, Hai Lin and Jun Liu. Mr. Xu
Zhang serves as chairman of the Nomination committee. The nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons
to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. The nominating committee considers persons identified by its members, management,
shareholders, investment bankers and others.
Guidelines
for Selecting Director Nominees
The
guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in the Nominating Committee Charter, generally provide that persons to be nominated:
● should
have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service;
● should
possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the board of directors and bring a
range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and
● should
have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of the stockholders.
The
Nominating Committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity
and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The nominating committee may require
certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and
will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The nominating
committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons.
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None
of our officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, (i) as a member of the compensation committee or Board of Directors
of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our compensation committee, or (ii) as a member of the compensation committee
of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our Board of Directors.
67
Code
of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. We have filed a
copy of our form of Code of Ethics and the charters of
the audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee as exhibits to the registration statement filed in connection
with our IPO prior to its effectiveness. You will be able to review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s
web site at www.sec.gov . In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from
us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form
8-K.
Conflicts
of Interest
Under
Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:
● duty
to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;
● duty
to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;
● directors
should not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;
● duty
not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and
● duty
to exercise independent judgment.
In
addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement
to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person
carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience
which that director has.
As
set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing,
or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be
forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by
way of permission granted in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval
at general meetings.
Each
of our directors and officers presently has, and in the future any of our directors and our officers may have additional, fiduciary or
contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present acquisition opportunities
to such entity. Accordingly, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law, if any of our officers or directors becomes
aware of an acquisition opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations,
he or she will need to honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such acquisition opportunity to such entity,
and only present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides
that, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law, we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered
to any officer or director unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or
officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable
for us to pursue. We do not believe, however, that any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our directors or officers would
materially undermine our ability to complete our business combination.
68
Potential
investors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:
● None
of our officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest
in allocating his or her time among various business activities.
● In
the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which
may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our management may have conflicts
of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
● Our
sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to our founder shares, private placement shares
and public shares in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination. Additionally, our sponsor, officers and directors
have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if we fail to consummate
our initial business combination within 12 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 21 months from the closing of the IPO if we extend
the period of time to consummate a business combination). If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable
time period, the proceeds of the sale of the private placement units held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of
our public shares, and the private placement units and underlying securities will be worthless. With certain limited exceptions, 50%
of the founder shares will not be transferable, assignable or salable by our sponsor until the earlier of (i) six months after the date
of the consummation of our initial business combination or (ii) the date on which the closing price of our ordinary shares equals or
exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days
within any 30-trading day period commencing after our initial business combination and the remaining 50% of the founder shares may not
be transferred, assigned or sold until six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, or earlier,
in either case, if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or
other similar transaction which results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities
or other property. With certain limited exceptions, the private placement units and underlying securities will not be transferable, assignable
or salable by our sponsor until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. Since our sponsor and officers and
directors may directly or indirectly own ordinary shares, rights and warrants following the IPO, our officers and directors may have
a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial
business combination.
● Our
officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention
or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our
initial business combination.
The
conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor. Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers
and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple
entities. Below is a table summarizing the entities to which our officers and directors currently have fiduciary duties or contractual
obligations:

(1) Each
of the entities listed in this table has priority and preference relative to our company
with respect to the performance by each individual listed in this table of his obligations
and the presentation by each such individual of business opportunities.
69
Accordingly,
if any of the above officers or directors become aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for any of the above entities
to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations
to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, and only present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity, subject
to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. We do not believe, however, that any of the foregoing fiduciary duties or contractual
obligations will materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination, because the specific focuses of a majority
of these entities differ from our focus and the type or size of the transaction that such companies would most likely consider are of
a size and nature substantially different than what we are targeting.
We
are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors.
In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with such a company, we, or a committee of independent directors, would
obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent firm that commonly renders valuation opinions for
the type of company we are seeking to acquire or an independent accounting firm, that such an initial business combination is fair to
our company from a financial point of view.
In
the event that we submit our initial business combination to our public shareholders for a vote, our sponsor, officers and directors
have agreed, pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement entered into with us, to vote any founder shares and private placement shares
held by them (and their permitted transferees will agree) and any public shares purchased during or after the offering in favor of our
initial business combination.
Limitation
on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Cayman
Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification
of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public
policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and
restated memorandum and articles of association provides for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted
by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud or willful default. We
may purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the
cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers
and directors.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, requires our executive officers, directors, and persons
who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. These executive officers,
directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms
filed by such reporting persons.
Based
solely on our review of such forms furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe
that, during 2021, our directors, executive officers, and ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing
requirements except that the Form 3s for all our directors and officers were filed late due to administrative
delays. Such Form 3s were filed on July 2, 2021.
70
Item 11.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
None
of our officers or directors have received any cash or non-cash compensation for services rendered to us. No compensation or fees of any kind, including finder’s, consulting fees and other similar fees, will be paid to our founders, members of our management team or their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to, or in order to effectuate the consummation of, our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). Commencing on the date that
our securities are first listed on the NASDAQ through the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation,
we will pay an affiliate of our sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Our sponsor,
officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations.
Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers, directors or our or their
affiliates.
After
the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting,
management or other fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known,
in the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination.
It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time such materials are distributed, because the directors of the
post-combination business will be responsible for determining officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our officers
will be determined by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors.
We
do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation
of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment
or consulting arrangements to remain with us after the initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or
consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting
a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business
combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any
agreements with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

Item 12.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
The
following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our shares of common stock as of March 8, 2022 by:
● each
person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock;
● each
of our officers and directors; and
● all
of our officers and directors as a group.
Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment
power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them. The following table does not reflect beneficial ownership
of the warrants or rights offered in the IPO or the private warrants and private rights included in the private placement as the
warrants are not exercisable and the rights are not convertible within 60 days of the date of this Form 10-K. As our IPO registration
statement and Form 8A were not declared effective by the SEC until June 21, 2021, we were not a filing company under the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended until June 21, 2021. As of March 8, 2022, there were 7,458,000 ordinary shares (assuming all
of the ordinary shares are separated from the units) issued and outstanding and upon which we base the information in the table
below.

Item 13.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
On
January 6, 2021, our sponsor purchased 1,150,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.02 per
share. We issued an additional 287,500 founder shares (at $.0.02 per share) to our sponsor as adjustment of the founder shares in anticipation
of the increased offering size from $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 of gross proceeds.
Our
sponsor has purchased an aggregate of 270,500 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (consisting of 270,500 units in a private placement
that will close simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering). Each unit consists of one private placement share, one
private placement right granting the holder thereof the right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon the consummation
of an initial business combination, and one private placement warrant. Each private placement warrant entitles the holder upon exercise
to purchase one-half of one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per whole share. The private placement units (including the underlying
securities) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by it until 30 days after the completion
of our initial business combination.
We
entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with Greenland Asset Management Corporation, an affiliate of our sponsor, pursuant
to which we will pay a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services to such affiliate. Upon completion
of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. Accordingly, in the event the consummation
of our initial business combination takes the maximum 21 months, an affiliate of our sponsor will be paid a total of $210,000 ($10,000
per month) for office space, administrative and support services and will be entitled to be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses.
Our
sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business
combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers, directors or
our or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling
on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
Our
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 December 31,
2021, the note was fully repaid with no outstanding balance.
In
addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate
of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete
an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. 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 our trust
account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit
(which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 165,000 ordinary shares if $1,500,000 of notes were so converted (including
15,000 shares upon the closing of our initial business combination in respect of 150,000 rights included in such units), as well as 150,000
warrants to purchase 75,000 shares) at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the placement units issued to the initial
holder. The terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with
respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not
believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our
trust account.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had temporary advances of $164,740
and $36,784 from a related party, respectively. The balance is unsecured, interest-free and has no fixed terms of repayment.
Related
Party Policy
We
have adopted a code of ethics requiring us to avoid, wherever possible, all conflicts of interests, except under guidelines or resolutions
approved by our Board of Directors (or the appropriate committee of our board) or as disclosed in our public filings with the SEC. Under
our code of ethics, conflict of interest situations will include any financial transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any
indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) involving the company. A form of the code of ethics was filed as an exhibit to the registration
statement for our IPO as filed with the SEC.
73
In
addition, our audit committee, pursuant to a written charter, will be responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions
to the extent that we enter into such transactions. An affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the audit committee present at
a meeting at which a quorum is present will be required in order to approve a related party transaction. A majority of the members of
the entire audit committee will constitute a quorum. Without a meeting, the unanimous written consent of all of the members of the audit
committee will be required to approve a related party transaction. A form of the audit committee charter was filed as an exhibit to the
registration statement for our IPO. We also require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’
questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.
Director
Independence
The
NASDAQ listing standards require that a majority of our Board of Directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined
generally as a person who has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer
of an organization that has a relationship with the company). Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement for our IPO, we have
two “independent directors” as defined in the NASDAQ listing standards and applicable SEC rules prior to completion of the
IPO. Our board has determined that each of Messrs. Xu Zhang and Hai Lin and Jun Liu are independent directors under applicable SEC and
NASDAQ rules. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our board of
directors. Since the formation of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve all
auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject
to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the audit committee prior to

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Golden
Path Acquisition Corporation
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Golden Path Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) as of December
31, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and
cash flows ended December 31, 2021 and related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion,
the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform
an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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”). 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.
The
Company’s entire activity from inception up to June 24, 2021 was in preparation for the initial public offering. Since the consummation
of initial public offering, the Company’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates. The Company
has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
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, Merger Sub is wholly owned by Golden Path.
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 December 31, 2021, cash of $ 48,955 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, 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 10). 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.”
The
Sponsor and any of the Company’s officers or directors that may hold Founder Shares (as defined in Note 6) (the “shareholders”)
and the underwriters will agree (a) to vote their Founder Shares, the ordinary shares included in the Private Units (the “Private
Shares”) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination, (b) not
to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association with respect to the Company’s
pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of a Business Combination unless the Company provides dissenting public
shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (c) not to redeem any shares
(including the Founder Shares) and Private Shares into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder
vote to approve a Business Combination (or to sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if the Company
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 ordinary share of Merger Sub (“Merger Sub Ordinary
Share”) 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 Ordinary Share.
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, 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 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
● Basis
of presentation
These
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. Dollars in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made that
are necessary to present fairly the financial position, and the results of its operations and its cash flows.
● Principles
of consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions
and balances between the Company and its subsidiary are eliminated upon consolidation.
Subsidiaries
are those entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; or has the power to
govern the financial and operating policies, to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a
majority of votes at the meeting of directors.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the activities of the Company and the following entity:

● 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 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and 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 consolidated 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 did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 or 2020.
● Cash
and investments held in trust account
At
December 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account are US Treasury securities. Investment securities in the Company’s
Trust Account consisted of $ 58,077,063 and $ 0 in United States Treasury Bills as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The
Company classified investments that are directly invested in U.S. Treasuries as available for sales and money market funds are classified
in accordance with the trading method. All marketable securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses
for available-for-sale securities are recorded in other comprehensive income (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 and comprehensive (income) loss.

● 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 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”) 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. 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 consolidated statements of operations. The Company has elected to account for its Public Warrants as
equity and the Private Warrants as liabilities.
● 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) is classified as a liability instrument and is 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 December 31, 2021, the Company’s ordinary shares feature
certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control. 5,750,000 ordinary shares subject to possible
redemption 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
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. 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 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 December 31, 2021 and 2020 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
Topic 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’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 June 30,
2021. 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 year ended December 31, 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 ordinary shares and non-redeemable ordinary 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 ordinary shares. Any remeasurement of
the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public
stockholders. As of December 31, 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 ordinary share 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 consolidated statement of operations is based on the following:

4 – 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.
NOTE
5 – PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated a private placement of 270,500 Private Units at $ 10.00 per unit,
purchased by the sponsor.
The
Private Units are identical to the units sold in the Initial Public Offering except that the warrants included in the Private Units (the
“Private Warrants”) are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis so long as the Private Warrants continue
to be held by the initial purchasers of the Placement Units or their permitted transferees.

6 – 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. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the aggregated administrative services charge was $ 60,000 and $ 0 , respectively.
Related
Party Loans
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.
Related
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 December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company owed a balance of $ 164,740 and $ 36,784 to Greenland Asset Management Corporation.

7 – SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY
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 December 31, 2021 and 2020, 1,708,000 and 10 ordinary shares issued and outstanding excluding 5,750,000 and 0 shares are subject to
possible-redemption.
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
8 – WARRANTS
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. 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 the 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 will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being 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
will be 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.

9 – 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 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 assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring
basis as of December 31, 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 consolidated
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.

As

31, 2021 was approximately $ 14,990 .
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 Private 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.

10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Risks
and Uncertainties
Management
is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that
the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of its operations and/or search for
a target company, there has been a significant impact as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the future outcome of this uncertainty.
Registration
Rights
Pursuant
to a registration rights agreement entered into on June 24, 2021 the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Units (and their underlying
securities) and any Units that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and underlying securities) are entitled to
registration rights. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the
Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to
registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation 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 statements.

Merger
Agreement
On
September 10, 2021, we, MC, and the Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement.
Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the Cayman Islands
Companies Act (As Revised), the parties intend to effect a business combination transaction whereby the Merger Sub will merge with and
into MC, with MC being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”) on the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and simultaneously with the closing, the Company will change its name
to “MicroCloud Hologram Inc.”
The
Board of Directors of both the Company and MC and the stockholders of MC have approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated
by it.
Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, the Merger is structured as a stock for stock transaction and is intended to be qualified as a tax-free reorganization.
The terms of the Merger provide for a valuation of MC and its subsidiaries and businesses of $ 450,000,000 . Based upon a per share value
of $ 10.10 per share, the stockholders of MC will receive approximately 44,554,455 ordinary shares of the Company which will represent
approximately 84.07 % of the combined outstanding shares following the closing, assuming no redemptions by our stockholders and assuming
conversion of our outstanding rights into 602,050 ordinary shares.
Consummation
of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to customary conditions of the respective parties, including the
approval of the Merger Agreement by our shareholders. Other than as specifically discussed, this report does not assume the closing of
the business combination with MC.
