−Removed: Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: Disclosure controls are procedures
−Removed: that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act,
−Removed: such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
−Removed: Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
−Removed: including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: Our management evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer (our
−Removed: “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021, pursuant to
−Removed: Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, solely due to the events
−Removed: that led to the Company’s restatement of its financial statements to reclassify the Company’s Public Warrants, as well as the
−Removed: revision for the temporary equity subject to possible redemption, as described in Form 8-K filed on January 20, 2022, our disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures were not effective.
−Removed: do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud.
−Removed: Disclosure controls and
−Removed: procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
−Removed: disclosure controls and procedures are met.
−Removed: Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there
−Removed: are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs.
−Removed: Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all
−Removed: our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any.
−Removed: The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain
−Removed: assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
−Removed: goals under all potential future conditions.
−Removed: Our internal control over
−Removed: financial reporting did not result in the proper classification of our warrants.
−Removed: Since their issuance on June 24, 2021 ,
−Removed: our warrants have been accounted for as liabilities within our balance sheet.
−Removed: On April 12, 2021, the SEC Staff issued the SEC Staff Statement
−Removed: in which the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the Public warrants to
−Removed: be classified as equity on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to liabilities.
−Removed: After discussion and evaluation, taking into consideration
−Removed: the SEC Staff Statement, including with our independent auditors, we have concluded that our Public warrants should be classified as
−Removed: equity with no subsequent fair value remeasurement is required.
−Removed: In addition, as previously
−Removed: disclosed, the Company concluded it should classify all ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in temporary equity.
−Removed: accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities
−Removed: from Equity (ASC 480), paragraph 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares
−Removed: subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.
−Removed: The Company had previously classified a portion of its ordinary
−Removed: shares in permanent equity.
−Removed: Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently,
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: The Company considered that the threshold would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus would be
−Removed: required to be disclosed outside equity.
−Removed: As a result, the Company restated its previously filed financial statements to classify
−Removed: ordinary shares subject to redemption as temporary equity and to recognize accretion from the initial book value to redemption
−Removed: value at the time of its Initial Public Offering and in accordance with ASC 480.
−Removed: The change in the carrying value of redeemable
−Removed: shares of ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
−Removed: As a result, management
−Removed: identified these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for warrants and
−Removed: ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.
−Removed: 20, 2022, the Company revised its prior position on accounting for warrants and concluded that the Company’s previously
−Removed: issued (i) audited balance sheet as of June 24 , 2021 included in the Company’s
−Removed: Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 30 , 2021 and (ii) audited
−Removed: interim financial statements as of June 30, 2021 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 included in the Company’s
−Removed: Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 16, 2021 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), in each
−Removed: case, should be corrected to classify public warrants as equity and all of the public shares as temporary equity and should no
−Removed: longer be relied upon.
−Removed: On January 20, 2022, the Company filed a Form 8-K to disclose non-reliance on previously issued financial
−Removed: 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
−Removed: restate its quarterly report for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
−Removed: However, the non-cash adjustments to the balance do not impact
−Removed: the amounts previously reported for the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, and total assets.
−Removed: To remediate these material
−Removed: weaknesses, we developed a remediation plan with assistance from our accounting advisors and have dedicated significant resources and
−Removed: efforts to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: While we have processes to identify and appropriately
−Removed: apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the complex accounting standards
−Removed: that apply to our financial statements.
−Removed: Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials
−Removed: and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting
−Removed: applications.
−Removed: The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives
−Removed: will ultimately have the intended effects.
−Removed: Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
−Removed: Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting
−Removed: or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the
−Removed: SEC for newly public companies.
−Removed: in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
−Removed: Other than the remedial activities undertaken following the restatement of our financial statements, as described above, there
−Removed: 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
−Removed: Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
−Removed: control over financial reporting.
+Added: Controls and Procedures.
+Added: Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
+Added: Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
+Added: Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
+Added: In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
+Added: (i) we did not maintain an effective control environment;
+Added: and (ii) we lacked formal policies and procedures to establish a risk assessment process and internal control framework and lacked an audit committee and the internal audit function to establish formal risk assessment process and internal control framework.
+Added: The material weaknesses could result in misstatements to our account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
+Added: Our management has implemented remediation steps to improve our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: Specifically, we plan to (i) hire personnel expertized in technical accounting and financial reporting and provide internal training to our accounting team on U.S.
+Added: GAAP knowledge;
+Added: (ii) improve our accounting and financial reporting procedures and provide access to third-party professionals;
+Added: (iii) adopt various reporting systems to ensure the completeness, timeliness and accuracy our financial reporting;
+Added: (iv) identify and evaluating risks we face;
+Added: (v) adopting control activities to be taken to mitigate risks with written policies and procedures;
+Added: (vi) ensure efficient internal and external communication environment and all parts we are adhering to standard practices;
+Added: and (vii) monitor regularly to verify that internal controls are functioning properly.
+Added: Our management will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our remediation plans and will make the changes we determine to be appropriate.
+Added: Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
+Added: In making this evaluation, management considered the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting described above.
+Added: Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
+Added: Notwithstanding the assessment that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective and that material weaknesses existed as of December 31, 2022, we believe that we have performed sufficient supplementary procedures to ensure that the consolidated financial statements contained in this filing fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the reporting periods covered herein in all material respects.
+Added: Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
+Added: As discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we completed the Business Combination on September 16, 2022.
+Added: Prior to the Business Combination, we were a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more operating businesses.
+Added: As a result, previously existing internal controls are no longer applicable or comprehensive enough as of the assessment date as our operations prior to the Business Combination were insignificant compared to those of the consolidated entity post-Business Combination.
+Added: In addition, the previously identified and disclosed material weaknesses in connection with the accounting for certain complex financial instruments (such as the warrants) have been absorbed in the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting of the consolidated entity post-Business Combination as discussed above.
+Added: The design of internal controls over financial reporting for the Company post-Business Combination has required and will continue to require significant time and resources from management and other personnel.
+Added: We have, since the closing of the Business Combination, engaged in the process of design and implementation of our internal control over financial reporting in a manner commensurate with the scale of our operations However, the design of internal control over financial reporting for our company post-Business Combination has required, and will continue to require, significant time and resources from management and other personnel.
+Added: As a result, management was unable, without incurring unreasonable effort or expense to conduct an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.
+Added: Accordingly, we are excluding management’s report on internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 215.02 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance’s Regulation S-K Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations.
+Added: Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
+Added: On September 16, 2022, we consummated the Business Combination.
+Added: See Note 3 — Reverse Recapitalization to the consolidated financial statements.
+Added: We are currently integrating policies, processes, people, technology and operations for the combined company.
+Added: Management will continue to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting as we execute integration activities.
+Added: Other than as noted above, and in connection with the implementation of the remedial measures 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 quarter ended December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
+Added: The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely.
+Added: Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
+Added: In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
+Added: Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
+Added: We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

−Removed: not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests;

−Removed: addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature.
−Removed: This duty has been defined as a requirement
−Removed: to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person
−Removed: carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience
−Removed: which that director has.
−Removed: 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,
−Removed: or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position.
−Removed: However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be
−Removed: forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors.
−Removed: This can be done by
−Removed: way of permission granted in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval

−Removed: of our directors and officers presently has, and in the future any of our directors and our officers may have additional, fiduciary or
−Removed: contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present acquisition opportunities
−Removed: to such entity.
−Removed: Accordingly, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law, if any of our officers or directors becomes
−Removed: aware of an acquisition opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations,
−Removed: he or she will need to honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such acquisition opportunity to such entity,
−Removed: and only present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity.
−Removed: Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides
−Removed: that, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law, we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered
−Removed: to any officer or director unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or
−Removed: officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable
−Removed: for us to pursue.
−Removed: We do not believe, however, that any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our directors or officers would

−Removed: sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to our founder shares, private placement shares
−Removed: and public shares in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination.
−Removed: Additionally, our sponsor, officers and directors
−Removed: have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if we fail to consummate
−Removed: 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
−Removed: the period of time to consummate a business combination).
−Removed: If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable
−Removed: 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
−Removed: our public shares, and the private placement units and underlying securities will be worthless.
−Removed: With certain limited exceptions, 50%
−Removed: of the founder shares will not be transferable, assignable or salable by our sponsor until the earlier of (i) six months after the date
−Removed: of the consummation of our initial business combination or (ii) the date on which the closing price of our ordinary shares equals or
−Removed: exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days

−Removed: or other property.
−Removed: With certain limited exceptions, the private placement units and underlying securities will not be transferable, assignable
−Removed: or salable by our sponsor until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.
−Removed: Since our sponsor and officers and
−Removed: directors may directly or indirectly own ordinary shares, rights and warrants following the IPO, our officers and directors may have
−Removed: a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention
−Removed: or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our
−Removed: initial business combination.
−Removed: conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor.

−Removed: to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, and only present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity, subject
−Removed: to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law.
−Removed: We do not believe, however, that any of the foregoing fiduciary duties or contractual

−Removed: specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 480 and ASC 815,
−Removed: “ Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”).
−Removed: The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial

−Removed: Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
−Removed: Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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.

−Removed: fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair

−Removed: The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts
−Removed: and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

−Removed: method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
−Removed: statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.
−Removed: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
−Removed: measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
−Removed: to be recovered or settled.
−Removed: Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
−Removed: period that includes the enactment date.
−Removed: Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax

−Removed: Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “ Earnings per Share .” In order to determine
−Removed: the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed
−Removed: income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable ordinary shares and non-redeemable ordinary shares and the undistributed income (loss)
−Removed: is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid.
−Removed: The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based
−Removed: on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable ordinary shares.
−Removed: Any remeasurement of

−Removed: As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering

−Removed: inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities).
−Removed: The following fair value hierarchy is
−Removed: used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and
−Removed: prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
−Removed: An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions
−Removed: for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
−Removed: inputs other than Level 1 inputs.
−Removed: Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities
−Removed: and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
−Removed: inputs based on the assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
