NOTE
1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY
Alset
Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 20, 2021. The Company was formed for the
purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination
with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for
purposes of consummating a Business Combination. 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 May 31, 2022, the Company has not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from October 20, 2021 (inception) through
May 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which
is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination,
at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial
Public Offering. The Company has selected November 30 as its fiscal year end.
The
registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 31, 2022. On February 3, 2022,
the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 8,625,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the shares of common
stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $ 86,250,000 , which includes
the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 1,125,000 Units generating additional gross proceeds to
the Company of $ 11,250,000 , which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private sale of 473,750 units (the “Private Placement
Units”) at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit in private placement to Alset Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”)
generating gross proceeds to the Company in the amount of $ 4,737,500 .
The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
and the sale of Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied toward consummating
a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company
must complete one or more initial Business Combinations with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal
to at least 80 % of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes
payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company
owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target
business 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”). Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, management has agreed that an amount equal
to at least $ 10.10 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including proceeds from the Private Placement Units, will be held in
a trust account (“Trust Account”) , located in the United States and invested only in U.S. government securities, within the
meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment
company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment
Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution
of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.
5
The
Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem
all or a portion of their Public Shares either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination
or (ii) by means of a tender offer in connection with the Business Combination. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder
approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to
redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $ 10.10 per Public
Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion
of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Public Shares subject to redemption will be recorded at a
redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “ Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity .”
All
of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s
liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection
with certain amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. In accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99,
redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside
of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants), the initial
carrying value of Class A common stock classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC
470-20. The Class A common stock is subject to ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, we
have the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that
it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize
changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value
at the end of each reporting period. We have elected to recognize the changes immediately. The accretion or remeasurement will be treated
as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital). The Public
Shares are redeemable and will be classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place. Redemptions
of the Company’s Public Shares may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions, including minimum cash conditions, pursuant to
an agreement relating to the Company’s Business Combination.
The
Company will not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $ 5,000,001 (so that it does
not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which
may be contained in the agreement relating to the Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval of the Business Combination,
the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business
Combination, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a stockholder vote is not required by applicable law or
stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company
will, pursuant to its second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct
the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and file tender offer documents with
the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law
or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company
will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer
rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder
Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business
Combination. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective
of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the
tender offer rules, the Certificate of Incorporation will provide that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder
or any other person with whom such stockholder 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 redeeming its shares with respect to more
than an aggregate of 15 % of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
6
The
holders of the Founder Shares have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Public Shares held
by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation
(i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemptions in connection with a Business Combination
or to redeem 100 % of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined
below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, unless
the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
If
the Company has not completed a Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of Initial Public Offering (or 15 months if we
have filed a proxy statement, registration statement or similar filing for an initial Business Combination within 12 months from the
consummation of Initial Public Offering but have not completed the initial Business Combination within such 12-month period, or up to
21 months if we extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination, at the election of the Company by two separate three
month extensions, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the deposit of up to $ 862,500 ($ 0.10 per unit in either case)
for each three month extension, into the trust account, or as extended by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with our amended
and restated certificate of incorporation), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly
as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash,
equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account
and not previously released to pay taxes (less up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then
outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the
right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption,
subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate,
subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of
other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which
will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The
holders of the Founders Shares have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails
to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the holders of Founder Shares acquire Public Shares in
or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the
Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to
their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) 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 other funds held in the Trust Account that will
be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value
of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($ 10.00 ).
In
order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims
by a third party 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 amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $ 10.00 per Public 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, if less than $ 10.00
per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn
to pay taxes, 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”). Moreover, in the event that an
executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability
for such third-party claims. 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 (except for the Company’s independent registered
accounting firm), prospective target businesses and 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.
7
Going
Concern and Management’s Plan
The
Company expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans and will not generate any operating revenues until after
the completion of its initial business combination. In addition, the Company expects to have negative cash flows from operations as it
pursues an initial business combination target. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in
accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s
Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” the Company does not currently have adequate liquidity to sustain operations, which consist
solely of pursuing a Business Combination.
The
Company may raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or its stockholders, officers, directors,
or third parties. The Company’s officers and directors and the Sponsor may, but are not obligated to (except as described above),
loan the Company funds, from time to time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s
working capital needs. Based on the foregoing, the Company believes it will have sufficient cash to meet its needs through the earlier
of consummation of a Business Combination or the deadline to complete a Business Combination pursuant to the Company’s Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (unless otherwise amended by shareholders).
While
the Company expects to have sufficient access to additional sources of capital if necessary, there is no current commitment on the part
of any financing source to provide additional capital and no assurances can be provided that such additional capital will ultimately
be available. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period
of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans
to raise additional capital (to the extent ultimately necessary) or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful
within the Combination Period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As
is customary for a special purpose acquisition company, if the Company is not able to consummate a Business Combination during the Combination
Period, it will cease all operations and redeem the Public Shares. Management plans to continue its efforts to consummate a Business
Combination during the Combination Period.
Risks
and Uncertainties
Management
is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the economic
effects of the pandemic could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search
for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The balance sheet
does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE
2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The accompanying unaudited financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on February 9, 2022.
In
the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments, which are only of
a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2022 and its results
of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2022 and cash flows for the six months ended May 31, 2022. The results of operations
for the three and six months ended May 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year
ending November 30, 2022.
8
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (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
stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do
not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such 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 the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s 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 balance
sheet.
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 balance sheet, which management considered in formulating
its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The Company had cash of $ 1,620,011 and $ 50,000 as of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively. The Company had no cash equivalents
as of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021.
Investments
held in Trust Account
At
May 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $ 87.2 million in investments in treasury securities held in the Trust Account.
Offering
Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering
The
Company complies with the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A, Offering Costs . Offering costs of $ 475,348 consist principally of costs incurred
in connection with the preparation for the Initial Public Offering. These costs, together with the underwriter’s discount of $ 4,743,750 ,
were allocated between temporary equity, the Public Warrants and the Private Units in a relative fair value method upon completion of
the Initial Public Offering.
9
Class
A common stock subject to possible redemption
The
Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “ Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity ”. Common stock subject to possible redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured
at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including shares of common stock 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, shares of common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity.
The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s
control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at May 31, 2022, the Class A common stock subject to possible
redemption in the amount of $ 87,112,500 are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s
balance sheets.
Net
loss per share
Net
loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes
of shares. The calculation of diluted loss per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection
with the Initial Public Offering because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a
result, diluted earnings per common stock are the same as basic earnings per ordinary share for the periods presented.
The
following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share (in U.S. dollars, except per share amounts):

Income
Taxes
The
Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “ Income Taxes .” Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized.
ASC
740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statements’ recognition and measurement of
tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely
than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized
tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of May
31, 2022 and November 30, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments,
accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since
inception.
The
Company’s deferred tax assets were deemed to be de minimis as of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution,
which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Fair
value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid to transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. US GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs
used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
●
Level
1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
●
Level
2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted
prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active;
and
●
Level
3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions,
such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
Recent
Accounting Standards
In
August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, “ Debt — Debt with Conversion
and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting
for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting
for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current US GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement
conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted
earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 from the Company’s inception. Adoption of the
ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect
on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE
3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant
to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 7,500,000 Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds to the Company
in the amount of $ 75,000,000 . Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public
Warrant”) and one right. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price
of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7). Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share
of Class A common stock upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination.
On
February 3, 2022, the underwriters purchased an additional 1,125,000 Units pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option.
The Units were sold at an offering price of $ 10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds to the Company of $ 11,250,000 .
NOTE
4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENTS
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 440,000 Private Placement Units at a price of
$ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit generating gross proceeds in the amount of $ 4,400,000 . In connection with the full exercise of the
over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 33,750 Private Placement Units at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Unit for
total gross proceeds of $ 337,500 . Each Private Placement Unit is comprised of one Class A common share, one-half of one warrant and one
right. Each private placement right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Class A common stock upon
the consummation of an initial Business Combination. Each whole private placement warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class
A common stock at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).
The
proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust
Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private
Placement Units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable
law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable
upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of
an Initial Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.
NOTE
5 — RELATED PARTIES
Founder
Shares
On
November 8, 2021, the Sponsor received 2,156,250 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”)
for $ 25,000 . The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 281,250 shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’
over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares will equal, on an as-converted basis, to approximately
20 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock after the Initial Public Offering (excluding the placement units
and underlying securities). In connection with the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, these shares are no longer
subject to forfeiture.
The
holder of the Founder Shares have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until
the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x)
if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $ 12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations,
reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days
after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar
transaction that results in all of the Public Stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities
or other property.

Promissory
Note — Related Party
On
November 8, 2021, the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which
the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $ 300,000 . The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the
earlier of (i) May 8, 2022, or (ii) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. As of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, there
was no amount outstanding under the Promissory Note.
Advances
from Related Party
The
Sponsor paid certain offering costs on behalf of the Company and advanced working capital to the Company. These advances are due on demand
and are non-interest bearing. During the six months ended May 31, 2022, the Sponsor paid a total of $ 75,000 of offering and operating
costs on behalf of the Company. During the six months ended May 31, 2022, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of $ 211,153 . As
of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, $ 0 and $ 75,000 was due to the related party, respectively.
General
and Administrative Services
Commencing
on the date the Units are first listed on the Nasdaq, the Company has agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $ 10,000
per month for office space, utilities and secretarial
and administrative support for up to 24 months. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation,
the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, the Company recorded a charge of
$ 30,000 and
$ 40,000 ,
respectively, to the statement of operations pursuant
to the agreement.
Related
Party Loans
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with a 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 (“Working
Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of
a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $ 1,500,000 of the notes may be converted upon completion
of a Business Combination into units at a price of $ 10.00 per unit. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. 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. As of May 31, 2022
and November 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.
NOTE
6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration
Rights
The
holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and
any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working
Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement
to be signed prior to or on the effective date of Initial Public Offering requiring the Company to register such securities for resale.
The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company
register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration
statements filed subsequent to 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. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required
to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until the securities covered thereby are
released from their lock-up restrictions. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration
statements.
13
Underwriting
Agreement
The
Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 1,125,000 additional Units
to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 3,
2022, the underwriters elected to fully exercise their over-allotment option. The Units were sold at an offering price of $ 10.00 per
Unit, generating additional gross proceeds to the Company of $ 11,250,000 .
The
underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $ 0.20 per Unit, or $ 1,725,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial
Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred fee of $ 0.35 per Unit, or $ $ 3,018,750 in the aggregate.
The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company
completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
NOTE
7 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred
Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. As
of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class
A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $ 0.0001
per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, there were
473,750 and 0 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, respectively, (excluding 8,625,000 shares of the Class A Common
Stock subject to possible redemption that were classified as temporary equity in the accompanying balance sheets).
Class
B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000
shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $ 0.0001
per share. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, there
were 2,156,250 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.
Only
holders of the Class B common stock will have the right to vote on the election of directors prior to the Business Combination. Holders
of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of
our stockholders except as otherwise required by law. In connection with our initial Business Combination, we may enter into a stockholders
agreement or other arrangements with the stockholders of the target or other investors to provide for voting or other corporate governance
arrangements that differ from those that were in effect upon completion of the Initial Public Offering.
The
shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into Class A common stock at the time of a Business Combination, on a one-for-one
basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or
deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the
ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders
of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance
or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock
will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, to 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding
upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (excluding the placement units and underlying securities).
Rights
- Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a right will automatically
receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon consummation of the initial Business Combination. The Company will not issue
fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded to the nearest whole share or otherwise
addressed in accordance with Section 155 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as further described herein. We will make the determination
of how we are treating fractional shares at the time of our initial Business Combination and will include such determination in the proxy
materials we will send to stockholders for their consideration of such initial Business Combination .
14
Warrants
— Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation
of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion
of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years
after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The
Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation
to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class
A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A
common stock is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from
registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue
any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified
under the securities laws of the state of residence of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.
The
Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination,
the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file, and within 60 business days following a Business Combination being
declared effective, a registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the
warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed.
Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities
exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the
Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis”
in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to
file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares
under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Redemption
of Warrants When the Price per Share of Class A Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $18.00 — Once the warrants become exercisable,
the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:
●
in
whole and not in part;
●
at
a price of $ 0.01 per Public Warrant;
●
upon
a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, or the 30-day redemption period to each warrant holder; and
●
if,
and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, reorganization, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on
the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to warrant holders.
If
and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register
or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
If
the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that
wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise
price and number of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in
the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as
described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally,
in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public 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 Public Warrants will not receive
any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held
outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.
The
Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering except
the Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not
be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.
