CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
−Removed: Disclosure controls and procedures are controls
−Removed: and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the
−Removed: Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
−Removed: controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
−Removed: in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
−Removed: Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: Disclosure controls
−Removed: are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under
−Removed: the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s
−Removed: rules and forms.
−Removed: Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated
−Removed: to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
−Removed: required disclosure.
−Removed: Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer
−Removed: (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 22, 2022, pursuant to
−Removed: Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, our disclosure controls and
−Removed: procedures were not effective.
−Removed: We do not expect that
−Removed: our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud.
−Removed: Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter
−Removed: how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls
−Removed: and procedures are met.
−Removed: Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
−Removed: and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs.
−Removed: Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures,
−Removed: no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies
−Removed: and instances of fraud, if any.
−Removed: The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the
−Removed: likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
−Removed: future conditions.
−Removed: Our internal control
−Removed: over financial reporting did not result in the proper classification of our warrants.
−Removed: Since their issuance on May 16, 2019, our warrants
−Removed: have been accounted for as derivative liabilities within our consolidated balance sheet.
−Removed: We evaluated the warrants under Accounting Standards
−Removed: Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.
−Removed: ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity
−Removed: versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may
−Removed: be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s ordinary shares.
−Removed: ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s ordinary shares if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment
−Removed: to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant.
−Removed: As a result, the Public
−Removed: Warrants shall be classified as equity.
−Removed: After discussion and evaluation with our independent auditors, we have concluded that our Public
−Removed: Warrants should be presented as component of equity.
−Removed: In addition, the Company
−Removed: concluded it should restate its financial statements to classify all ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in temporary equity.
−Removed: In 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 shares
−Removed: in permanent equity.
−Removed: Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently, the Company
−Removed: 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
−Removed: that the threshold would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus would be required to be disclosed outside
−Removed: As a result, the Company restated its previously filed financial statements to classify all ordinary shares as temporary equity
−Removed: and to recognize accretion from the initial book value to redemption value at the time of its IPO and in accordance with ASC 480.
−Removed: change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated
−Removed: As a result, management
−Removed: identified these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for warrants and ordinary
−Removed: shares subject to possible redemption.
−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
−Removed: appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the complex accounting
−Removed: standards that apply to our financial statements.
−Removed: Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature,
−Removed: research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding
−Removed: complex accounting applications.
−Removed: The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance
−Removed: that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
−Removed: For a discussion of management’s consideration of the material
−Removed: weakness identified related to our accounting for a significant and unusual transaction related to the warrants we issued in connection
−Removed: with our initial public offering.
−Removed: Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
−Removed: During the most recently completed fiscal quarter,
−Removed: there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
−Removed: affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: In light of the revision of our financial statements, we plan to enhance our processes
−Removed: to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting
−Removed: standards that apply to our financial statements.
−Removed: Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature,
−Removed: research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding
−Removed: complex accounting applications.
−Removed: The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance
−Removed: that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
−Removed: The Company performed additional analysis
−Removed: and procedures with respect to accounts impacted by the material weakness in order to conclude that its unaudited condensed
−Removed: consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q as of and for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022, are fairly presented, in
−Removed: all material respects, in accordance with GAAP.
