Although the Company is not limited to a particular geographic region, the Company intends to focus on operating businesses in the healthcare, education, entertainment and financial services sectors that have their principal operations in China. AGBA Merger Sub I Limited (“AMSI”) is a company incorporated on November 26, 2021, under the laws of the British Virgin Island for the purpose of effecting the business combination. AMSI is wholly owned by AGBA. AGBA Merger Sub II Limited (“AMSII”) is a company incorporated on November 26, 2021, under the laws of the British Virgin Island for the purpose of effecting the business combination. AMSII is wholly owned by AGBA. All activities through September 30, 2022 relate to the Company’s formation, completion of its initial public offering which occurred on May 16, 2019 and negotiation and consummation of the proposed business combination with TAG Holdings Limited (“TAG.”) The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a business combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering, which proceeds are held in trust. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end and tax year end. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Financing The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Offering” as described in Note 4, “IPO”) was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 13, 2019. The Company consummated the Public Offering on May 16, 2019 of 4,600,000 units at $ 10.00 per unit (the “Public Units”) and sold to the sponsor to purchase 225,000 units at $ 10 per unit (the “Private Units”). The Company received net proceeds of $ 46,716,219 . The Company incurred $ 2,559,729 in initial public offering related costs, including $ 2,175,948 of underwriting fees and $ 383,781 of initial public offering costs. Trust Account Upon the closing of the Public Offering and the private placement, $ 46,000,000 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The funds held in the Trust Account can be invested in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the Company’s failure to consummate a business combination within 36 months (unless extended) from the closing of the Public Offering. Placing funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such agreements. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Additionally, the interest earned on the Trust Account balance may be released to the Company to pay the Company’s tax obligations. 5 Business Combination Pursuant to Nasdaq listing rules, the Company’s initial business combination must occur with one or more target businesses having an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the funds in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriter’s fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account), which the Company refers to as the 80% test, at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial business combination, although the Company may structure a business combination with one or more target businesses whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the Trust Account balance. If the Company is no longer listed on Nasdaq, it will not be required to satisfy the 80% test. The Company currently anticipates structuring a business combination to acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. The Company may, however, structure a business combination where the Company merges directly with the target business or where the Company acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but the Company will only complete such business combination if the post-transaction company owns 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise owns a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% test. As set forth in the memorandum of association, the objects for which are established are unrestricted and the Company shall have full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the Companies Law or as the same may be revised from time to time, or any other law of the British Virgin Islands. The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association contains provisions designed to provide certain rights and protections to its ordinary shareholders prior to the consummation of the initial business combination. These provisions cannot be amended without the approval of 65% (or 50% if approved in connection with the initial business combination) of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares attending and voting on such amendment. Since inception, the Company has sought to amend provisions of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to shareholders’ rights three times (at the February 5, 2021, November 2, 2021 and May 3, 2022 shareholders’ meeting). Each time, the Company provided dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares in connection with any such vote on any proposed amendments to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. The Company will either seek shareholder approval of any business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to convert their shares into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid, or provide shareholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid. These shares have been recorded at redemption value and are classified as temporary equity, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The Company will proceed with a business combination only if it will have net tangible assets of at least $ 5,000,001 upon consummation of the business combination and, solely if shareholder approval is sought, a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company voted are voted in favor of the business combination. In connection with any shareholder vote required to approve any business combination, the initial shareholder s have agreed (i) to vote any of their respective shares, including the ordinary shares sold to the initial shareholders in connection with the organization of the Company (the “Initial Shares”), ordinary shares included in the Private Units sold in the private placement, and any ordinary shares which were initially issued in connection with the Public Offering, whether acquired in or after the effective date of the Public Offering, in favor of the initial business combination and (ii) not to convert such respective shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account or seek to sell their shares in connection with any tender offer the Company engages in. 6 On November 3, 2021, the Company entered into the business combination agreement, which provides for a business combination between AGBA and TAG and certain of TAG’s wholly owned subsidiaries – OnePlatform Holdings Limited (“OPH”), TAG Asia Capital Holdings Limited (“Fintech”), TAG International Limited (“B2B”), TAH Asset Partners Limited (“B2BSub”), and OnePlatform International Limited (“HKSub”). OPH through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is engaged in business-to-business (or B2B) services, while Fintech through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is engaged in the financial technology or fintech business. B2BSub is a wholly-owned subsidiary of B2B, and HKSub is a wholly owned subsidiary of B2BSub. In the business combination agreement, as amended, B2B, B2BSub, HKSub, OPH, Fintech, together with their respective subsidiaries are referred to as the “Group Parties”. Pursuant to the business combination agreement, as amended, OPH will first become a subsidiary of B2B through a merger with HKSub, with OPH as the surviving entity (the “OPH Merger”). Subsequently, (i) AMSI will merge with and into B2B; and AMSII will merge with and into Fintech (together with (i), the “Acquisition Merger”). In consideration of the Acquisition Merger, AGBA will issue 55,500,000 ordinary shares with a deemed price per share US$ 10.00 (“Aggregate Stock Consideration”) to TAG, in its capacity as sole shareholder of B2B and Fintech. At the closing of the Acquisition Merger, AGBA shall issue the full amount of the Aggregate Stock Consideration, less three percent (3%) of the Aggregate Stock Consideration (the “Holdback Shares”), to TAG, in its capacity as sole shareholder of B2B and Fintech, subject to compliance with applicable law. Subject to the provisions of the business combination Agreement, AGBA will release the Holdback Shares at the end of six (6) months following the closing of the Acquisition Merger, which may be extended for an additional three-month period (the “Survival Period”), provided that the AGBA will be entitled to retain some or all of the Holdback Shares to satisfy certain indemnification claims during the Survival Period. The business combination agreement, as amended, provides that, among other things, (i) the Outside Closing Date (as defined in the business combination agreement) of the proposed transactions contemplated by the business combination agreement shall be extended to December 31, 2022 from October 31, 2022, and (ii) each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to finalize all Additional Agreements (as defined in the business combination agreement) and other ancillary documents contemplated by the business combination agreement no later than December 31, 2022. Liquidation and going concern The Company initially had 12 months from the consummation of this offering to consummate the initial business combination. If the Company does not complete a business combination within 12 months from the consummation of the Public Offering, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. As a result, this has the same effect as if the Company had formally gone through a voluntary liquidation procedure under the Companies Law. Accordingly, no vote would be required from our shareholders to commence such a voluntary winding up, dissolution and liquidation. However, the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a business combination ten times (for a total of up to 42 months from the consummation of the Public Offering to complete a business combination). As of the date of this report, the Company has extended ten times by an additional three months each time (for a total of up to 39 months from the consummation of the Public Offering to complete a business combination), and so it now has until November 16, 2022 to consummate a business combination. Pursuant to the terms of the current amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the trust agreement between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, in order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate our initial business combination, the Company’s insiders or their affiliates or designees, upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the Trust Account $0.15 per public share, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline . The insider, AGBA Holding Limited, has received non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory notes equal to the amount of any such deposits (i.e., $460,000 for each of the first three extensions since May 2020, $594,467 for each of the next three extensions, $546,991 for each of next two extensions, and $504,431 for each of two extensions in May 2022 and August 2022) that will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. Such notes would either be paid upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, converted upon consummation of our business combination into additional Private Units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The Company’s shareholders have approved the issuance of the Private Units upon conversion of such notes, to the extent the holder wishes to so convert such notes at the time of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. In the event that the Company receives notice from the Company’s insiders five days prior to the applicable deadline of their intent to effect an extension, the Company intends to issue a press release announcing such intention at least three days prior to the applicable deadline. In addition, the Company intends to issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline announcing whether or not the funds had been timely deposited. If the Company is unable to consummate the Company’s initial business combination by November 16, 2022, the Company will, as promptly as possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100 % of the Company’s outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not necessary to pay taxes, and then seek to liquidate and dissolve. However, the Company may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders. In the event of dissolution and liquidation, the public rights will expire and will be worthless. 7 Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements if a business combination is not consummated by November 16, 2022. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ● Basis of presentation These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The interim financial information provided is unaudited, but includes all adjustments which management considers necessary for the fair presentation of the results for these periods. Operating results for the interim period ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022. ● Principles of consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation. Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the activities of the Company and each of the following entities: Name Background Ownership AGBA Merger Sub I Limited (“AMSI”) A British Island company Incorporated on November 26, 2021 100% Owned by AGBA AGBA Merger Sub II Limited (“AMSII”) A British Island company Incorporated on November 26, 2021 100% Owned by AGBA 8 ● Emerging growth company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ● Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. ● Cash and investments held in trust account At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account are held in cash and US Treasury securities. The Company classified investments that are directly invested in U.S. Treasuries as available for sales and money market funds are classified in accordance with the trading method. All marketable securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are recorded in other comprehensive loss. The Company evaluates its investments to assess whether those with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. Impairments are considered other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely the Company will sell the securities before the recovery of the cost basis. Realized gains and losses and declines in value determined to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. 9 ● Warrants liabilities The Company accounts for the warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D and 7F under which the private warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the private warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the private warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our consolidated statement of operations. The private warrants are valued using a Black Scholes model. ● Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to possible redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at and September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 3,362,871 and 3,646,607 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has made a policy election in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A and recognizes changes in redemption value in accumulated deficit immediately as if the end of the first reporting period after the IPO was the redemption date. ● Fair value of financial instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows: Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Level 2 — Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means. Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. 10 The fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, and other current assets, accrued expenses, due to sponsor are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 due to the short maturities of such instruments. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. September 30, Quoted Prices In Active Markets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Other Unobservable Inputs Description 2022 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets: U.S. Treasury Securities held in Trust Account* $ 38,928,442 $ 38,928,442 $ - $ - Liabilities: Warrant liabilities $ 13,500 $ - $ - $ 13,500 December 31, Quoted Prices In Active Markets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Other Unobservable Inputs Description 2021 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets: U.S. Treasury Securities held in Trust Account* $ 40,441,469 $ 40,441,469 $ - $ - Liabilities: Warrant liabilities $ 490,000 $ - $ - $ 490,000 * included in cash in the cash and investments held in trust account on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. ● Concentration of credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and Trust Accounts in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $ 250,000 . The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. ● Income taxes The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. 11 ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement 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’s management determined that the British Virgin Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 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 may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing, and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with foreign tax laws. The Company’s tax provision is zero and it has no deferred tax assets. The Company is considered to be an exempted British Virgin Islands Company, and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the British Virgin Islands or the United States. ● Net loss per share The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. In order to determine the net loss attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed loss allocable to both the redeemable ordinary shares and non-redeemable ordinary shares and the undistributed loss is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed loss ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable ordinary shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the IPO to purchase an aggregate of 2,412,500 shares in the calculation of diluted net loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive and the Company did not have any other dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary share and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented. The net loss per share presented in the statements of operations is based on the following: For the Nine Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Net loss $ ( 153,751 ) $ ( 515,988 ) Accretion of carrying value to redemption value ( 1,676,342 ) ( 4,036,497 ) Net loss including accretion of carrying value to redemption value $ ( 1,830,093 ) $ ( 4,552,485 ) For the Three Months Ended For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Net income (loss) $ 429,335 $ ( 209,743 ) Accretion of carrying value to redemption value ( 613,051 ) ( 595,544 ) Net loss including accretion of carrying value to redemption value $ ( 183,716 ) $ ( 805,287 ) 12 For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 Redeemable ordinary shares Non- Redeemable ordinary shares Redeemable ordinary shares Non- Redeemable ordinary shares Basic and diluted net loss per share: Numerators: Allocation of net loss including carrying value to redemption value $ ( 1,312,547 ) $ ( 517,546 ) $ ( 3,399,922 ) $ ( 1,152,563 ) Accretion of carrying value to redemption value 1,676,342 - 4,036,497 - Allocation of net income (loss) $ 363,795 $ ( 517,546 ) $ 636,575 $ ( 1,152,563 ) Denominators: Weighted-average shares outstanding 3,487,135 1,375,000 4,056,087 1,375,000 Basic and diluted net loss per share $ 0.10 $ ( 0.38 ) $ 0.16 $ ( 0.84 ) For the three months ended September 30, 2022 For the three months ended September 30, 2021 Redeemable ordinary shares Non- Redeemable ordinary shares Redeemable ordinary shares Non- Redeemable ordinary shares Basic and diluted net loss per share: Numerators: Allocation of net loss including carrying value to redemption value $ ( 130,399 ) $ ( 53,317 ) $ ( 597,860 ) $ ( 207,427 ) Accretion of carrying value to redemption value 613,051 - 595,544 - Allocation of net income (loss) $ 482,652 $ ( 53,317 ) $ ( 2,316 ) $ ( 207,427 ) Denominators: Weighted-average shares outstanding 3,362,871 1,375,000 3,963,110 1,375,000 Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share $ 0.14 $ ( 0.04 ) $ ( 0.00 ) $ ( 0.15 ) 13 ● Related parties Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. ● Recent accounting pronouncements The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on the current information. NOTE 3 — CASH AND INVESTMENT HELD IN TRUST ACCOUNT As of September 30, 2022, investment securities in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $ 38,928,442 in United States Treasury Bills and $ 0 in cash. As of December 31, 2021, investment securities in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $ 40,441,469 in United States Treasury Bills and $ 0 in cash. The Company classifies its United States Treasury securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale marketable securities are recorded at their estimated fair value on the accompanying September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value, including gross unrealized holding gain as other comprehensive income and fair value of held to marketable securities on September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is as follows: Carrying Value as of September 30, 2022 (Unaudited) Gross Unrealized Holding Gain Fair Value as of September 30, 2022 (Unaudited) Available-for-sale marketable securities U.S. Treasury Securities $ 38,928,442 $ - $ 38,928,442 Carrying Value as of December 31, 2021 (Audited) Gross Unrealized Holding Gain Fair Value as of December 31, 2021 (Audited) Available-for-sale marketable securities: U.S. Treasury Securities $ 40,441,469 $ - $ 40,441,469 NOTE 4 — PUBLIC OFFERING On May 16, 2019, the Company sold 4,600,000 units at a price of $ 10.00 per Public Unit in the Public Offering. Each Public Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, $0.001 par value per share (the “Public Shares”), one redeemable warrant (the” Public Warrants”) and one right (the “Public Rights”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half (1/2) of one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 6). Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon consummation of an initial business combination. In addition, the Company has granted Maxim Group LLC, the underwriter of the Public Offering, a 45-day option to purchase up to 225,000 Public Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any. If the Company does not complete its business combination within the necessary time period described in Note 1, the Public Rights will expire and be worthless. Since the Company is not required to net cash settle the rights and the rights are convertible upon the consummation of an initial business combination, the management determined that the Public Rights are classified within shareholders’ equity as “Additional paid-in capital” upon their issuance in accordance with ASC 815-40. The proceeds from the sale are allocated to Public Shares and Public Rights based on the relative fair value of the securities in accordance with ASC 470-20-30. The value of the Public Shares and Public Rights will be based on the closing price paid by investors. 14 The Company paid an upfront underwriting discount of $ 1,150,000 ( 2.5 %) of the per unit offering price to the underwriter at the closing of the Public Offering, with an additional fee of $ 1,840,000 (the “Deferred Discount”) of 4.0 % of the gross offering proceeds payable upon the Company’s completion of the business combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its business combination. In the event that the Company does not close the business combination, the underwriter has waived its right to receive the Deferred Discount. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount. Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, the Company consummated a private placement of 210,000 Private Units, at $ 10.00 per unit, purchased by the sponsor. Simultaneously with the sale of the over-allotment units, the Company consummated a private placement of 15,000 Private Units, at $ 10.00 per unit, purchased by the sponsor. The Private Units are identical to the units sold in the Public Offering except that the private warrants are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis. NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Insider Shares In October 2018, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, subscribed for an aggregate of 1,000 of ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $ 1 , or approximately $ 0.001 per share. On February 22, 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,149,000 Ordinary Shares to AGBA Holding Limited for an aggregate purchase price of $ 25,000 in cash. The initial shareholders have agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their insider shares until, with respect to 50% of the insider shares, the earlier of six months after the consummation of a business combination and the date on which the closing price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing after a business combination and, with respect to the remaining 50% of the insider shares, until the six months after the consummation of a business combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to a business combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares, securities or other property. Administrative Services Agreement The Company is obligated to pay AGBA Holding Limited, a company owned by the insiders, a monthly fee of $ 10,000 for general and administrative services. However, pursuant to the terms of such agreement, the Company may delay payment of such monthly fee upon a determination by the Company’s audit committee that the Company lack sufficient funds held outside the trust to pay actual or anticipated expenses in connection with the initial business combination. Any such unpaid amount will accrue without interest and be due and payable no later than the date of the consummation of our initial business combination. Related Party Loan In order to meet the working capital needs following the consummation of the Public Offering, the initial shareholders, officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $ 500,000 of the notes may be converted upon consummation of our business combination into Private Units at a price of $ 10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued units to acquire 55,000 ordinary shares (which includes 5,000 shares issuable upon conversion of rights) and warrants to purchase 25,000 ordinary shares if $ 500,000 of notes were so converted). The Company’s shareholders have approved the issuance of the units and underlying securities upon conversion of such notes, to the extent the holder wishes to so convert them at the time of the consummation of our initial business combination. If the Company does not complete a business combination, the loans will not be repaid. 15 Related Party Extensions Loan The Company initially had 12 months from the consummation of this offering to consummate the initial business combination. However, as of the date of this report, the Company has extended the period of time to consummate a business combination nine times by an additional three months each time (for a total of up to 39 months from the consummation of the Public Offering to complete a business combination). Pursuant to the terms of the current amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the trust agreement between us and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, in order to extend the time available for us to consummate its initial business combination, the Company’s insiders or their affiliates or designees, upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the Trust Account $0.15 per public share, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. The insiders have received non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory notes equal to the amount of any such deposits (i.e., $460,000 for each of the first three extensions since May 2020, $594,467 for each of the next three extensions, $546,991 for each of next two extensions, and $504,431 for each of the recent extension in May 2022 and August 2022). Such notes would either be paid upon consummation of its initial business combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, converted upon consummation of its business combination into additional Private Units at a price of $10.00 per unit. On each of May 11, 2020, August 12, 2020, and November 10, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in an amount of $460,000 to the sponsor, pursuant to which such amount had been deposited into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of available time to complete a business combination until February 16, 2021. On each of February 5, May 11, August 11, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note, in an amount of $594,467, to the sponsor, pursuant to which such amount had been deposited into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of available time to complete a business combination until November 16, 2021. On each of November 10, 2021 and February 7, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in an amount of $546,991, to the sponsor, pursuant to which such amount had been deposited into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of available time to complete a business combination until May 16, 2022. On each of May 9, 2022, and August 9, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in an amount of $540,331, to the sponsor, pursuant to which such amount had been deposited into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of available time to complete a business combination until November 16, 2022. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the note payable balance of $ 5,266,243 and $ 3,710,390 , respectively. Upon the completion of business combination, these promissory notes were fully converted. On May 3, 2022, the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination two times for three additional months each time from May 16, 2022 to November 16, 2022. On May 9, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in an amount of $ 504,431 to the sponsor, pursuant to which such amount had been deposited into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of available time to complete a business combination until August 16, 2022. On August 9, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in an amount of $ 504,431 to the sponsor, pursuant to which such amount had been deposited into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of available time to complete a business combination until November 16, 2022. All these Notes are non-interest bearing and are payable upon the closing of a business combination. In addition, the Notes may be converted, at the lender’s discretion, into additional Private Units at a price of $ 10.00 per unit. Related Party Advances In the event the sponsor pays for any expense or liability on behalf of the Company, then such payments would be accounted for as loan to the Company by the sponsor. The sponsor, AGBA Holding Limited, has paid the expenses incurred by the Company an aggregate of $ 1,645,353 on a non-interest bearing basis as of September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company owed a balance of $ 1,645,353 and $ 952,761 to AGBA Holding Limited, respectively. 16 NOTE 6 – SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT Ordinary Shares The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 ordinary shares at par $ 0.001 . The Company’s shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. In connection with any vote held to approve our initial business combination, all of the initial shareholders, as well as all of the officers and directors, have agreed to vote their respective ordinary shares owned by them immediately prior to this offering and any shares purchased in this offering or following this offering in the open market in favor of the proposed business combination. In October 2018, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, subscribed for an aggregate of 1,000 of ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $ 1 , or approximately $ 0.001 per share. On February 22, 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,149,000 founder shares to the sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $ 25,000 in cash. On May 16, 2019, the Company issued 225,000 ordinary shares under the private placement of 225,000 Private Units at $ 10 per unit, to the sponsor. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 1,375,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding excluding 3,362,871 and 3,646,607 shares were subject to possible redemption, respectively. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The table below presents the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), including the reclassification out of AOCI. Available- for-sale securities Balance as of January 1, 2022 $ - Other comprehensive income before reclassifications - Amounts reclassified from AOCI into interest income - Balance as of September 30, 2022 $ - Available- for-sale securities Balance as of January 1, 2021 $ 10,173 Other comprehensive income before reclassifications 482 Amounts reclassified from AOCI into interest income ( 10,655 ) Balance as of September 30, 2021 $ - 17 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 an ordinary share upon consummation of the initial business combination. In the event the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of the initial business combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of a share underlying each right upon consummation of the business combination. The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the British Virgin Islands law. As a result, you must hold rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive shares for all of your rights upon closing of a business combination. If we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period and the Company redeems the public shares for the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds for their rights and the rights will expire worthless. Public Warrants Each Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half (1/2) of one ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per full share, subject to adjustment. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares. This means that only an even number of warrants may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. No Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. It is the Company’s current intention to have an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares in effect promptly following consummation of an initial business combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 90 days following the consummation of our initial business combination, Public Warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the day prior to the date of exercise. For example, if a holder held 300 warrants to purchase 150 shares and the fair market value on the date prior to exercise was $15.00, that holder would receive 35 shares without the payment of any additional cash consideration. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The warrants will become exercisable on the later of the completion of an initial business combination and May 13, 2020. The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth anniversary of our completion of an initial business combination, or earlier upon redemption. The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (including any outstanding warrants issued upon exercise of the unit purchase option issued to Maxim Group LLC), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant: ● at any time while the warrants are exercisable, ● upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, ● if, and only if, the last sales price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $16.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days before the Company send the notice of redemption, and ● if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the ordinary shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company would issue a notice of redemption, each warrant holder can exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the ordinary shares may fall below the $16.50 trigger price as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price per full share after the redemption notice is issued and not limit our ability to complete the redemption. 18 The redemption criteria for the warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide warrant holders a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide a sufficient differential between the then-prevailing share price and the warrant exercise price so that if the share price declines as a result of our redemption call, the redemption will not cause the share price to drop below the exercise price of the warrants. If the Company call the warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the whole warrants for that number of ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. Whether the Company will exercise our option to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis” will depend on a variety of factors including the price of our ordinary shares at the time the warrants are called for redemption, the Company’s cash needs at such time and concerns regarding dilutive share issuances. NOTE 7 – ORDINARY SHARE SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE REDEMPTION The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “ Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity .” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events and considered to be outside of the Company’s control. Accordingly, at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 3,362,871 and 3,646,607 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. On May 16, 2019, the Company sold 4,600,000 units at a price of $ 10.00 per Public Unit in the Public Offering. On February 8, 2021, 636,890 shares were redeemed by certain shareholders at a price of approximately $ 10.49 per share, including interest generated and extension payments deposited in the Trust Account, in an aggregate amount of $ 6,680,520 . On November 10, 2021, 316,503 shares were redeemed by certain shareholders at a price of approximately $ 10.94 per share, including interest generated and extension payments deposited in the Trust Account, in an aggregate amount of $ 3,462,565 . On April 29, 2022, 283,736 shares were redeemed by certain shareholders at a price of approximately $ 11.24 per share, in an aggregate principal amount of $ 3,189,369 . For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 Total ordinary shares issued 5,975,000 5,975,000 Share issued classified as equity ( 1,375,000 ) ( 1,375,000 ) Share redemption ( 1,237,129 ) ( 953,393 ) Ordinary shares, subject to possible redemption 3,362,871 3,646,607 19 NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. September 30, 2022 Quoted Prices In Active Markets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Other Unobservable Inputs Description (Unaudited) (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets: U.S. Treasury Securities held in Trust Account* $ 38,928,442 $ 38,928,442 $ — $ — Liabilities: Warrant liabilities $ 13,500 $ — $ — $ 13,500 December 31, 2021 Quoted Prices In Active Markets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Other Unobservable Inputs Description (Audited) (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets: U.S. Treasury Securities held in Trust Account* $ 40,441,469 $ 40,441,469 $ - $ - Liabilities: Warrant liabilities $ 490,000 $ - $ - $ 490,000 * included in cash and investments held in trust account on the Company’s balance sheet. The private warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. 20 The Company established the initial fair value for the private warrants on May 16, 2019, the date of the Company’s IPO, using a Black-Scholes model. The Company allocated the proceeds received from the sale of Private Units, first to the private warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds recorded as ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, and ordinary shares based on their relative fair values recorded at the initial measurement date. The warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs. The key inputs into the binomial model and Black-Scholes model were as follows at their measurement dates: September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 May 16, 2019 (Initial measurement) Input Share price $ 11.44 $ 11.02 $ 10.00 Risk-free interest rate 0.30 % 1.21 % 2.18 % Volatility 0.20 % 47 % 55 % Exercise price $ 11.50 $ 11.50 $ 11.50 Warrant life 5 years 5 years 5 years As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate value of the private warrants was $ 0.013 and $ 0.49 million, respectively. The change in fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $ 477,000 . The change in fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $ 90,000 . To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3. Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the private warrant liability for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Risks and Uncertainties Management has evaluated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, there has been a significant impact as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the future outcome of this uncertainty. Registration Rights The holders of our insider shares issued and outstanding on the date of this prospectus, as well as the holders of the Private Units (and all underlying securities) and any securities our initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans made to us, are be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into concurrently without initial public offering. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of a business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. 21 Underwriting Agreement The underwriter is entitled to a cash underwriting discount of six and half percent (6.5%), or $0.65 per unit, of the gross proceeds of the initial public offering. Two and one-half percent (2.5%), or $0.25 per share, is not contingent and has been paid at the closing of the initial public offering. Four percent (4.0%), or $0.40 per unit, is contingent on the closing of a business combination and will be deferred by the underwriters and be placed in the Trust Account. Such deferred amount will only be payable to the underwriters upon closing of a business combination. Further, the deferred amount paid to the underwriters upon the closing of a business combination will be reduced by two percent (2.0%), or $0.20 per unit, for each unit that is redeemed by shareholders in connection with the business combination. If the business combination is not consummated, the deferred amount will be forfeited by the underwriters. The underwriters will not be entitled to any interest accrued on the deferred amount. Unit Purchase Option The Company sold to Maxim for $ 100 , an option to purchase 276,000 units exercisable, at $ 11.50 per unit commencing at any time between the first and fifth anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our initial public offering. The purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and expires on May 13, 2024 . The Company accounted for the unit purchase option, inclusive of the receipt of $ 100 cash payment, as an expense of the Public Offering resulting in a charge directly to shareholders’ equity. The Company estimates that the fair value of the unit purchase option is approximately $ 747,960 , or $ 2.71 per Unit, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the unit purchase option to be granted to the underwriters is estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 35 %, (2) risk-free interest rate of 2.18 % and (3) expected life of four years between first and fifth anniversary dates of the effective date. The option and the units, as well as the ordinary shares and warrants to purchase ordinary shares that may be issued upon exercise of the option, have been deemed compensation by The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or the commencement of sales in the Public Offering pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA’s rules, during which time the option may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, or be subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative or put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities. Additionally, the option may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated prior to May 13, 2020, except to any underwriters and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners. The option grants to holders demand and “piggy back” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective date of the registration statement of which forms a part with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the option. We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions which will be paid for by the holders themselves. The exercise price and number of units issuable upon exercise of the option may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the option will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Right of First Refusal Subject to certain conditions, the Company granted Maxim, for a period of 18 months after the date of the consummation of the business combination, a right of first refusal to act as lead underwriters or minimally as a co-manager, with at least 30% of the economics; or, in the case of a three-handed deal, 20% of the economics, for any and all future public and private equity and debt offerings. In accordance with FINRA rule 5110(f)(2)(E)(i), such right of first refusal shall not have a duration of more than three years from the effective date of the registration statement for our initial public offering. NOTE 9 – RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR YEAR PRESENTATION Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes In Shareholders’ Deficit for period ended September 30, 2022, to reclassify the Capital contribution from extension deposit to the trust account. NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2022, up through the date the Company issued the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. On November 10, 2022, the Company convened its extraordinary general meeting (the “Special Meeting”) to approve the business combination with TAG and certain of TAG’s wholly owned subsidiaries. An aggregate of 3,339,229 Ordinary Shares were redeemed in connection with the Special Meeting. The final redemption price is $ 11.617 per share redeemed.
