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

NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
Golden
Path Acquisition Corporation (“Golden Path” or the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman
Islands on May 9, 2018. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”).
Golden
Path Merger Sub Corporation (“Merger Sub”) is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands for the purpose of effecting the
Business Combination and to serve as the vehicle for, and be subsumed by, MC Hologram Inc. (“MC”), pursuant to the Merger
with MC Hologram Inc. Merger Sub is wholly owned by Golden Path and conducts no activities.
Although
the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company
intends to focus on businesses that have a connection to the Asian market. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company
and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As
of March 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through March 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation
and the initial public offering completed on June 24, 2021 and in connection with the negotiation and consummation of a business combination
with MC Hologram Inc. as described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business
Combination at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of dividend income from investing the proceeds derived
from the initial public offering and private placement completed on June 24, 2021. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal
year end.
Financing
The
registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering” as described in Note
4) was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 21, 2021. On June 24,
2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 5,750,000 ordinary units (the “Public Units”), which includes
the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 750,000 Public Units, at $ 10.00 per Public Unit, generating
gross proceeds of $ 57,500,000 .
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 270,500 units (the “Private Units”)
at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement to Greenland Asset Management Corporation (the “Sponsor”), generating
gross proceeds of $ 2,705,000 , which is described in Note 5.
Transaction
costs amounted to $ 2,887,500 , consisting of $ 1,150,000 of underwriting fees, $ 1,437,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $ 300,000 of
other offering costs. In addition, as of March 31, 2022, cash of $ 29,069 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, $ 58,075,002 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”)
with Wilmington Trust, National Association acting as trustee. The funds held in the Trust Account can be invested in United States government
treasury bills, bonds or notes, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule
2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination
and (ii) the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the Public Offering. Placing
funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to
have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company
waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such
agreements. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence
on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Additionally, the interest earned on the Trust Account
balance may be released to the Company to pay the Company’s tax obligations.

Business
Combination
The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
and sale of the Private Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating
a Business Combination. NASDAQ rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have
a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (less any deferred underwriting commissions
and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will
only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the outstanding voting
securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register
as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
The
Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a
Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means
of a tender offer. In connection with an Initial Business Combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination
at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against
a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least
$ 5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding
shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the
tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder,
together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group”
(as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted
from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.
If
a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the
Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender
offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the
same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
The
shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially
$10.10 per Public Share, subject to increase of up to an additional $0.30 per Public Share in the event that the Sponsor elects to extend
the period of time to consummate a Business Combination (see below), plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust
Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to shareholders
who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter (as
discussed in Note 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 common stock of Merger Sub (“Merger Sub Common
Stock”) valued at $ 10.10 per share.
Upon
the closing of the Business Combination, the former Golden Path shareholders will receive the consideration specified below and the former
MC stockholders will receive an aggregate of 44,554,455 shares of Merger Sub Common Stock.
Liquidation
The
Company will have until June 23, 2022 to consummate a Business Combination. However, if the Company anticipates that it may not be able
to consummate a Business Combination within 12 months, 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.
Going concern consideration
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had working capital deficit of $ 320,051
and net loss of $ 309,846
for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit
of its financing and acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. The management’s plan in addressing this uncertainty is through the Initial Public Offering as discussed in Note 4. There
is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a business combination will be successful within the
Combination Period. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor, or
an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company
funds as may be required up to $1,500,000 as discussed in Note 6. Based on the foregoing, the Company believes it will have sufficient
cash to meet its needs to execute its intended initial Business Combination in the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of
the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis
of presentation
These
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and
disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC. The interim financial information provided is unaudited, but includes all adjustments which
management considers necessary for the fair presentation of the results for these periods. Operating results for the interim period ended
March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The information
included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and the financial statements
and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March
31, 2022.
●
Principles
of consolidation
The unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions
and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.
●
Emerging
growth company
The
Company is an “ emerging growth company ,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not
being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from
the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments
not previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do
not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of
such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public
or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which
is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult
or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
●
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of
a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating
its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results may differ from
those estimates.

Cash
and cash equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
●
Cash
and investments held in trust account
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account are held in cash and US Treasury securities. Investment securities in the Company’s
Trust Account consisted of $ 58,081,803 and $ 58,077,063 in United States Treasury Bills, respectively.
The
Company classifies marketable securities as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such classification as of each
balance sheet date. All marketable securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale
securities are recorded in other comprehensive loss. The Company evaluates its investments to assess whether those with unrealized loss
positions are other than temporarily impaired. Impairments are considered other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in
credit risk or if it is likely the Company will sell the securities before the recovery of the cost basis. Realized gains and losses
and declines in value determined to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported
in other income (expense), net in the statements of operations.
●
Deferred
Offering Costs
Deferred
offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly
related to the Initial Public Offering and that were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public
Offering.
●
Warrant
liabilities
The
Company accounts for its outstanding Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D and 7F. Management has determined
that under the Private Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company
classifies the Private Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Private Warrants to fair value at each reporting period.
Management has further determined that its Public Warrants qualify for equity treatment. Warrant liability is subject to re-measurement
at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations. The Private Warrants
are valued using a Black Scholes model.
●
Ordinary
shares subject to possible redemption
The
Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Ordinary shares subject
to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary
shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption
upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other
times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 5,750,000 ordinary shares subject to possible
redemption which are subject to occurrence of uncertain future events and considered to be outside of the Company’s control are
presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
●
Offering
costs
The
Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A –
“ Expenses of Offering ”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through
the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering and that were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion
of the Initial Public Offering.

Fair
value of financial instruments
FASB
ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the
expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation
techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. FASB ASC Topic
820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset
or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller
would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs
reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed
based on the best information available in the circumstances.
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 March
31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 due to the short maturities of such instruments. See Note 9 for the disclosure of the Company’s assets and liabilities
that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
●
Concentration
of credit risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and trust accounts in a financial institution
which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $ 250,000 . The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts
and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
●
Income
taxes
Income
taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “ Income Taxes ” (“ASC 740”). Under
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income
in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC
740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements
uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the
financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. The Company’s
management determined that the British Virgin Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest
and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts
accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under
review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The
Company may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations
may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with
foreign tax laws.
The
Company’s tax provision is zero for the period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

●
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 March
31, 2022, the Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering to purchase an aggregate of 1,454,000
shares in the calculation of diluted net loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future
events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive and the Company did not have any other dilutive securities and other
contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result,
diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.
The
net loss per share presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations is based on the following:

4 — INITIAL 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.
Related
Party Loan
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor,
or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working
Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation
of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation
of a Business Combination into additional Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. In the event that a Business Combination does
not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds
held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.
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.

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

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

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 1,708,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding excluding 5,750,000 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 – WARRANT LIABILITIES
Each
public warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half (1/2) of one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per full share, subject
to adjustment as described in Form S-1 Amendment No. 2 filed on June 11, 2021. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may
exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares. This means that only an even number of warrants may be exercised at any given
time by a warrant holder.
No
public warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary
shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. It is the Company’s current
intention to have an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants
and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares in effect promptly following consummation of an initial business combination.

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 saleable 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.

NOTE
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 our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability.
The
following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring
basis as of March 31, 2022 and 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 balance
sheets.
The
Company established the initial fair value for the private warrants at $ 625,000 on June 24, 2021, the date of the Company’s Initial
Public Offering, using a Black-Scholes model. The Company allocated the proceeds received from the sale of Private Units, first to the
private warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds recorded as ordinary shares
subject to possible redemption, and ordinary shares based on their relative fair values recorded at the initial measurement date. The
warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs.
The
key inputs into the Black-Scholes model for the Private Warrants were as follows at their measurement dates:

(Currency
expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
As
of March 31, 2022, the aggregate value of the private warrants was $ 0.692 million. The change in fair value from June 24, 2021 to March
31, 2022 was approximately $ 67,396 .
To
the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair
value requires more judgment. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower
than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised
by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3. Level 3 financial liabilities consist of
the Warrant liability for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant
judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period
based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
References
in this report on form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) to “we,” “us” or the “Company” refer
to Golden Path Acquisition Corporation. References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our
officers and directors, references to the “Sponsor” refer to Greenland Asset Management Corporation. The following discussion
and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set
forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Background
and Overview
Prior
to completion of its initial public offering on June 24, 2021, Golden Path Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempt company (the
“Company”), was a private company incorporated on May 9, 2018. Golden Path is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman
Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization
or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
Our
efforts in identifying prospective target businesses will not be limited to a particular geographic region, although we intend to focus
on businesses that have a connection to the Asian market. We believe that we will add value to these businesses primarily by providing
them with access to the U.S. capital markets.
We
presently have no revenue, have had losses since inception from incurring formation costs and have had no operations other than completing
our initial public offering and since its completion the active solicitation of a target business with which to complete a business combination.
Prior to our initial public offering as described below, we had relied upon the sale of our securities to our Sponsor and loans from
our Sponsor to fund our operations.
On
June 21, 2021, the Company’s registration statement (File No. 333-255297) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to
the initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On
June 24, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 5,000,000 units (the “Units”). In addition, the underwriters exercised
in full the over-allotment option for an additional 750,000 Units, resulting in the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 5,750,000 Units.
Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per ordinary share (“Share”), one redeemable warrant (“Warrant”)
entitling its holder to purchase one-half of one Share at a price of $11.50 per Share, and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one
Share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (“Private Placement”) with its sponsor, Greenland Asset Management Corporation, a British Virgin Islands company
(“Sponsor”) for the purchase of 270,500 Units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating
total proceeds of $2,705,000, pursuant to the Private Placement Unit Purchase Agreement dated June 17, 2021.
The
Sponsor had previously advanced expenses or loaned the Company the sum of $453,364, evidenced in part by a note dated as of December
19, 2020 which loan was payable upon the earlier of completion of the IPO or December 31, 2021. In connection with the completion of
the IPO, the note was repaid in full via an offset of certain amounts due under the Private Placement subscription.
As
of June 24, 2021, an aggregate total of $58,075,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement Unit Purchase Agreement
transaction completed with the Sponsor (as described in Item 3.02 below), Greenland Asset Management Corporation, a British Virgin Islands
company, were deposited in a trust account (“Trust Account”) established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders,
established with Wilmington Trust, National Association acting as trustee.
1
Transaction
costs for the IPO amounted to $2,887,500, consisting of $1,150,000 of underwriting fees, $1,437,500 of deferred underwriting fees and
$300,000 of other offering costs. In addition, at March 31, 2022, cash of $29,069 was held outside
of the Trust Account established at the time of our IPO and is available for the payment of offering costs and for working capital purposes.
An audited balance sheet as of June 24, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds received by the Company in connection with the consummation
of the IPO and the Private Placement Unit Purchase Agreement was previously filed by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed
by the Company on June 30, 2021.
On September 10, 2021, Golden Path entered into
a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for a Business Combination between Golden Path and MC Hologram
Inc. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination will be effected as a stock for stock transaction and is intended to be
qualified as a tax-free reorganization. The Merger Agreement is by and among Golden Path, Merger Sub, and MC Hologram Inc., a Cayman Islands
exempted company (“MC Hologram”).. The aggregate consideration for the is $450,000,000, payable in the form of 44,554,455
newly issued ordinary shares of the Company valued at $10.10 per share.
Upon the closing of the Business Combination,
the former MC Hologram stockholders will receive an aggregate of 44,554,455 shares of the Company’s Ordinary Shares.
We
are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities
Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain
exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies”
including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy
statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval
of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may
be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.
In
addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended
transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other
words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise
apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
We
will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of
the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed
to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million
as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during
the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” shall have the meaning associated with it in
the JOBS Act.
We
will have until 12 months from the closing of our IPO to consummate our initial business combination. However, if we anticipate that
we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within 12 months, we may, by resolution of our board if requested by
our sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to nine times, each by an additional one month (for a
total of up to 21 months to complete a business combination), subject to the sponsor depositing additional funds into the trust account
as set out below. Pursuant to the terms of our memorandum and articles of association and the trust agreement entered into between us,
Wilmington Trust National Association and Vstock Transfer LLC on the closing of our IPO, in order for the time available for us to consummate
our initial business combination to be extended, our sponsor or its affiliates or designees, upon five days advance notice prior to the
applicable deadline, must deposit into the trust account $166,667, or $191,667 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised
in full (approximately $0.033 per public share in either case), up to an aggregate of $1,500,000 (or $1,725,000 if the underwriters’
over-allotment option is exercised in full), or $0.30 per public share (for an aggregate of 9 months), on or prior to the date of the
applicable deadline, for each extension. In the event that we receive notice from our sponsor five days prior to the applicable deadline
of its wish for us to effect an extension, we intend to issue a press release announcing such intention at least three days prior to
the applicable deadline. In addition, we intend to issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline announcing whether or
not the funds had been timely deposited. Our sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the trust account to extend
the time for us to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within
the applicable time period, we will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public
shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account and as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption,
subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our
obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event,
the warrants and rights will be worthless.

Results
of Operations
From our incorporation until late 2020 we were
essentially dormant. In late 2020, we commenced preparing for the initial public offering which was completed in June 2021. Since the
initial public offering, our activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates and activities in connection
with consummating the proposed business combination with MC Hologram, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing
and completion of our initial business combination. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal,
financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with our efforts to source
a business combination.
We presently have no revenue, have had losses
since inception from incurring formation costs and have had no operations other than completing our initial public offering and since
its completion the active solicitation of a target business with which to complete a business combination and activities in connection
with consummating the proposed business combination with MC Hologram. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred
$258,433 and $56,779 in formation, general and administrative expenses, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021,
we had net losses of $309,846 and $56,779, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and
2021, we had net losses per share of $0.18 and $0.05, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 24, 2021, an aggregate total of $58,075,000 of
the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement Unit Purchase Agreement transaction completed with the Sponsor (as described in
Item 3.02 below), Greenland Asset Management Corporation, a British Virgin Islands company, were deposited in a trust account established
for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders, established with Wilmington Trust, National Association acting as trustee.
Transaction
costs for the IPO amounted to $2,887,500, consisting of $1,150,000 of underwriting fees, $1,437,500 of deferred underwriting fees and
$300,000 of other offering costs. There was no cash balance as of March 31, 2022, cash of $29,069 was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for the payment of offering costs and for working capital purposes.
As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and marketable securities of $58,081,803 held in the trust account. We
intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the initial public offering, including the funds held in the Trust Account, to
acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole
or in part as consideration to effect our business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account, as well as any other
net proceeds not expended, will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds
could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions
and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses
or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our business combination if the funds available to us outside
of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash
used in operating activities was $229,939, consisting primarily of a net loss of $309,846 and change in fair value of warrant liabilities
of $52,406. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities provided cash of $27,501.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash
used in operating activities was $42,418, consisting primarily of a net loss of $456,779 and changes in our operating assets and liabilities
provided cash of $14,361.
At March 31, 2022, we had cash of $29,069 held
outside the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses,
perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective
target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses,
and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination
3
As of May 9, 2022, we have an outstanding working capital loan balance
from the Sponsor in the aggregate amount of $385,000 in order to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination.
On May 9, 2022, we issued a promissory note of $1,000,000 to our Sponsor to evidence the working capital loan of $385,000 provided to
us by our Sponsor in the past, and to provide any additional working capital loan to the Company on an as-needed basis towards the consummation
of a Business Combination. Outstanding working capital loans, if any, under this promissory note will be paid off by applying the proceeds
from the Trust Account after the redemption upon the closing.
Other than as described above, in order to fund working
capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a 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 a Business Combination,
we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a 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 Private Units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender.
Going concern consideration
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had working capital deficit
of $320,051 and net loss of $309,846 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur
significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. The management’s plan in addressing this uncertainty is through the Initial Public Offering
as discussed in Note 4. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a business combination
will be successful within the Combination Period. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business
Combination, the Sponsor, or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated
to, loan the Company funds as may be required up to $1,500,000 as discussed in Note 6. Based on the foregoing, the Company believes it
will have sufficient cash to meet its needs to execute its intended initial Business Combination in the next twelve months from the date
of the issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-balance
sheet financing arrangements
We
have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2022. We do not participate
in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest
entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into
any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities,
or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual
obligations
As
of March 31, 2022 we do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities
other than an agreement to pay our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for general and administrative services, including office space,
utilities and administrative services to the Company. We began incurring these fees on June 24, 2021 and will continue to incur these
fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination and the Company’s liquidation.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during
the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company has not identified any significant accounting
policies.
Cash
and Investments
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company classifies marketable securities as available-for-sale
at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. All marketable securities are recorded at
their estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are recorded in other comprehensive loss. The
Company evaluates its investments to assess whether those with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. Impairments
are considered other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely the Company will sell the
securities before the recovery of the cost basis. Realized gains and losses and declines in value determined to be other than temporary
are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense), net in the statements of operations.
Warrant
Related Accounting Policies
The
Company accounts for warrants as liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable
authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”
(“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet
the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under
ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could
potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions
for equity classification. Certain terms and conditions of the public warrants and private warrants result in the classification of these
financial instruments as a liability as opposed to equity. The classification of these financial instruments as a liability results in
the application of derivative liability accounting, which entails a quarterly valuation of these liabilities with any change in value
required to be reflected in our quarterly and annual financial statements. The determination by us to classify the public warrants and
private warrants as a liability results in us having to incur significant expense in valuing such liabilities on a quarterly and annual
basis, and the resulting liability is and will be reflected on our financial statements, and such classification and ongoing expense
may make it more difficult for us to complete an initial business combination.
4
Ordinary
Shares as Temporary Equity
The
Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Ordinary shares subject
to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary
shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption
upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other
times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 5,750,000 ordinary shares subject to possible
redemption which are subject to occurrence of uncertain future events and considered to be outside of the Company’s control, are
presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As
of March 31, 2022, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering,
the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the Trust Account, have been invested in U.S. government treasury
bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due
to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.
Item
4. 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.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
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 March 31, 2022, 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 the Company's Form 8-K filed on January 20, 2022, our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective.
As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure
that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management
believes that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
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. To remediate this material weakness, 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.
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.

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