CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
−Removed: controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
−Removed: reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
−Removed: the SEC’s rules and forms.
−Removed: Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
−Removed: ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
−Removed: to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed
−Removed: under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the
−Removed: SEC’s rules and forms.
−Removed: Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated
−Removed: and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely
−Removed: decisions regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and
−Removed: chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March
−Removed: 22, 2022, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, our
−Removed: disclosure 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: internal control over financial reporting did not result in the proper classification of our warrants.
−Removed: Since their issuance on May 16,
−Removed: 2019, our warrants have been accounted for as derivative liabilities within our consolidated balance sheet.
−Removed: We evaluated the warrants
−Removed: under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.
−Removed: ASC Section 815-40-15
−Removed: addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states
−Removed: that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s ordinary
−Removed: Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s ordinary shares if the terms of the warrant require
−Removed: an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant.
−Removed: the Public Warrants shall be classified as equity.
−Removed: After discussion and evaluation with our independent auditors, we have concluded that
−Removed: our Public Warrants should be presented as component of equity.
−Removed: addition, the Company concluded it should restate its financial statements to classify all ordinary shares subject to possible redemption
−Removed: in temporary equity.
−Removed: In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing
−Removed: Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480), paragraph 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary
−Removed: shares 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: considered that the threshold would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus would be required to be disclosed
−Removed: outside equity.
−Removed: As a result, the Company restated its previously filed financial statements to classify all ordinary shares as temporary
−Removed: equity 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: The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated
−Removed: a result, management identified these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting
−Removed: for warrants and ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.
−Removed: remediate these material weaknesses, we developed a remediation plan with assistance from our accounting advisors and have dedicated
−Removed: significant resources and efforts to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: While we have
−Removed: processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing
−Removed: the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements.
−Removed: Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to
−Removed: accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals
−Removed: with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications.
−Removed: The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time,
−Removed: and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
−Removed: For a discussion of management’s
−Removed: consideration of the material weakness identified related to our accounting for a significant and unusual transaction related to the
−Removed: warrants we issued in connection with our initial public offering.
−Removed: in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
−Removed: the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially
−Removed: affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: In light of the revision of our
−Removed: financial statements, we plan to enhance our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better
−Removed: evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements.
−Removed: Our plans at this time
−Removed: include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel
−Removed: and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications.
−Removed: The elements of our remediation plan can
−Removed: only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
−Removed: Company performed additional analysis and procedures with respect to accounts impacted by the material weakness in order to conclude
−Removed: that its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q as of and for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022,
−Removed: are fairly presented, in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP.
