ROSECLIFF ACQUISITION CORP I
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Rosecliff Acquisition Corp I (the “Company”)
is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on November 17, 2020. 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 March 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced
any operations. All activity for the period from November 17, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s
formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial
Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. 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 December 31 as its fiscal year
end.
The registration statement for the Company’s
Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 11, 2021. On February 17, 2021 the Company consummated the Initial Public
Offering of 25,300,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public
Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 3,300,000 Units, at
$ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 253,000,000 , which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 4,706,667 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of
$ 1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Rosecliff Acquisition Sponsor I LLC (the “Sponsor”) generating
gross proceeds of $ 7,060,000 , which is described in Note 4.
Transaction costs amounted to $ 14,373,127 , consisting
of $ 5,060,000 in cash underwriting fees, $ 8,855,000 in deferred underwriting fees, and $ 458,127 of other offering costs.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering
on February 17, 2021, an amount of $ 253,000,000 ($ 10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public
Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the
United States and was invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds
meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations,
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.
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 Warrants,
although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally 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 that together have a fair market value equal to at least
80 % of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on
the income 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. There is no assurance that
the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.
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 upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business
Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. 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 held in the Trust Account (initially $ 10.00 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.

ROSECLIFF ACQUISITION
CORP I
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
The Company will only proceed with a Business
Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $ 5,000,001 following any related redemptions and, if the Company seeks
stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. 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 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 (“SEC”) 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.
The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption
rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it 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.
The Company will have until February 17, 2023
to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company has not completed a Business Combination within
the Combination Period, 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 Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to
liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares it will receive if the Company fails to complete
a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of its respective affiliates acquire Public Shares,
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 the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual 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, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective
target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account nor will it apply 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 public 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.

(UNAUDITED)
Liquidation and Going Concern
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash
used in operating activities was $ 303,514 . Net income of $ 7,053,847 was affected by change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $ 7,514,642
and interest income on investment held in the Trust Account of $ 4,329 . Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $ 161,610
of cash for operating activities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash
used in operating activities was $ 149,987 . Net income of $ 3,221,641 was affected by transaction costs associated with Initial Public
Offering of $ 438,283 , change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $ 3,810,600 and interest income on investment held in the Trust Account
of $ 7,140 . Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $ 7,829 of cash for operating activities.
As of March 31, 2022, we had U.S. Treasury Funds
held in the Trust Account of $ 253,031,569 consisting of fixed income securities. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account
may be used by us to pay taxes. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing
interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital
stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the
Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions
and pursue our growth strategies.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $ 465,918
in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $ 2,287,950 . We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account
primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and
from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents
and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination. In order to finance
transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliated of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s
officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined below) (see Note 5).
In connection with the Company’s assessment
of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 205-40, “Disclosure
of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until February 17, 2023 to consummate
a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. Additionally,
the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the issuance of
these financial statements. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent
dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination
not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company intends to complete the proposed Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. However, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by February 17, 2023. In addition, the Company may need to raise
additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors or third parties. The
Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor 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, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the
Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, the Company 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 through the liquidation date of February 17, 2023.
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in above to the financial statements, if the Company
is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs as well as complete a Business Combination by the close of business
on February 17, 2023, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. This date for mandatory liquidation
and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements
do 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 condensed financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.
GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of
the Securities Act. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly,
they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations,
or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting
of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows
for the periods presented.

(UNAUDITED)
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021,
as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future periods.
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 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 that is neither an emerging growth company nor an
emerging growth company that 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 condensed financial statements
in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
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 financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near
term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements
is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information
becomes available and 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 did not have any cash equivalents
as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Investment Held in Trust Account
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the
majority of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds, which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities.
The Company presents its investments in money market funds on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains
and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in interest income in the accompanying condensed
statements of operations. The estimated fair value of investments held in the Trust Account is determined using available market information.
Offering Costs
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting
and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs
were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared
to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred in the statements of operations.
Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock issued were initially charged to temporary equity and then accreted to common
stock subject to redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible
Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A common
stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic
480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption are
classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class
A common stock that features 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) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times,
Class A common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain
redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future
events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 25,300,000 Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is
presented as temporary deficit, respectively, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed
balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption
value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of
each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial
book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A common stock resulted in charges against
additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the
Class A common stock reflected in the condensed balance sheets is reconciled in the following table:

Warrant Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments
to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including
issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives,
pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The Company accounts for warrants
in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815 and determined that the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment
thereunder. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition
of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including
whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment,
which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period
end date while the warrants are outstanding.
Accordingly, the Company recognizes the
8,433,333 Public Warrants and 4,706,667 Private Placement Warrants as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair
value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any
change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed statements of operations. The Public Warrants are valued by the
closing price of the observable market quote in an active market. The Private Placement Warrants are valued using an observable
market quote for a similar asset in an active market. See Notes 8 and 10.
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 statement 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. As of March 31, 2022 and December
31, 2021, the Company had deferred tax assets of which had a full valuation allowance recorded against them. The Company’s deferred
tax assets were deemed to be de minimis as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The Company’s current taxable income primarily
consists of interest earned on the Trust Account. The Company’s general and administrative costs are generally considered start-up
costs and are not currently deductible. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded no income tax expense. The
Company’s effective tax rate for three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately 21 %, which differs from the expected income
tax rate due to the start-up costs (discussed above), the change in value of warrant liabilities, and the transaction costs allocated
to the warrant liabilities which are not currently deductible.

ROSECLIFF ACQUISITION CORP I
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
ASC 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 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 March 31, 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
is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
Net Income Per Common Share
The Company complies with accounting
and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. The Company has two classes of common stock, which
are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of stock.
Net income per common share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the
respective period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the
redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted income per
share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering and (ii) the private placement
since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 13,140,000
shares of Class A common stock in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other
contracts that could potentially be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company.
As a result, diluted net income per share of common stock is the same as basic net income per share of common stock for the periods presented.
The following table reflects the calculation
of basic and diluted net income per share of common stock (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit 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 account.
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 Measurement,” approximates the carrying
amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, other than the warrant liabilities
(see Note 9).
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would
be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. U.S. 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.
10
ROSECLIFF ACQUISITION CORP I
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure
fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is
categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments
to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic
815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative
instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the
fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments
should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified
in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required
within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued 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 GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to
qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU
2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with
early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any other
recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the
Company’s condensed financial statements.
NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the
Company sold 25,300,000 Units, which includes a full exercise by the underwriter of its overallotment option in the amount of 3,300,000
Units, at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant
(each, a “Public Warrant”). 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 9).
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Sponsor has purchased an aggregate of 4,706,667 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $ 1.50 per Private Placement
Warrant ($ 7,060,000 in the aggregate) from the Company in a private placement. 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 9). A portion of the proceeds
from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants 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
Warrants 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.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
During the period ended December 31, 2020, the
Sponsor paid $ 25,000 to cover certain of the Company’s offering costs in exchange for 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class
B common stock (the “Founder Shares”). On February 11, 2021, the Company effected a 1:1.1 stock split of its Class B common
stock, resulting in an aggregate of 6,325,000 shares outstanding. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated to
reflect the stock split. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 825,000 shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the
underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares would equal, on an as-converted
basis, approximately 20 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering.
As a result of the underwriter’s election to fully exercise its over-allotment option, no Founder Shares are currently subject
to forfeiture.
The Sponsor has 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, reorganization 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.

had advances owed to the Sponsor in the amount of $ 16,152 .
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on February 11, 2021 through the earlier
of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $ 10,000
per month for office space, support and administrative services. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company accrued
$ 30,000 and $ 20,000 in fees for these services, respectively, of which such amount is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying
condensed balance sheets.
Related Party Loans
In order to fund working capital deficiencies
or 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”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds
of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the
Trust Account. 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.
Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with
respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest,
or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $ 1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business
Combination entity at a price of $ 1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of March 31,
2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus 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 condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Various social and political circumstances in
the U.S. and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade tensions between the United States
and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies
with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes
and global health epidemics), may also contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S.
and worldwide. Specifically, the rising conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and resulting market volatility could adversely affect the
Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination. In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. and other
counties have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls,
tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete a
Business Combination and the value of the Company’s securities.
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement
entered into on February 11, 2021, 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 Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement
Warrants or warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be
entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares,
only after conversion to shares of Class A common stock). 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 the 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 termination of the applicable lock-up period. The
registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in
registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such
registration statements.

the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Termination of the Previously Announced
Business Combination Agreement
On March 11, 2022, the Company and GT Gettaxi
Limited entered into a Termination of the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to which the parties mutually agreed to terminate the
Business Combination Agreement, effective immediately. As per the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November
11, 2021, the Company requested that the Target’s management undertake a thorough analysis of its financial projections. Following
the conclusion of that process, and extensive mutual efforts to negotiate an appropriate valuation adjustment, both parties agreed to
terminate the Business Combination Agreement.
As a result of the termination of the Business
Combination Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement is of no further force and effect, and certain transaction agreements entered
into in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated
as of November 9, 2021 and to be effective as of the closing of the Business Combination, by and among the Company, a Delaware limited
liability company, and certain holders, will either be terminated or no longer be effective, as applicable, in accordance with their
respective terms.
The Company intends to continue to pursue the
consummation of a business combination with an appropriate target.
NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’
DEFICIT
Preferred Stock — The Company
is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other
rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At March 31, 2022 and December

Class A Common Stock —
The Company is authorized to issue 80,000,000 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. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 25,300,000 shares of Class
A common stock issued and outstanding, which are presented as temporary equity.
Class B Common Stock —
The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 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. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 6,325,000 shares of Class
B common stock issued and outstanding.
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 the Company’s stockholders,
except as otherwise required by law.
The shares of Class B common stock will automatically
convert into Class A common stock at the time of a Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis,
subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment
as provided herein. 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
the shares of Class B common stock will convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority
of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such anti-dilution 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, 20% of the sum of all shares of common stock issued and outstanding upon the
completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued
in connection with the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any
seller in the initial Business Combination.
NOTE 8. WARRANTS
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there
were 8,433,333 Public Warrants outstanding. Public Warrants may only be exercised in whole and only for a whole number of shares. 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.

MARCH 31, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
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 underlying the warrants
is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, 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 the exercising holder, or an exemption 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 a registration statement covering the issuance, under the Securities Act, of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise
of the warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business
days after the closing of a Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus
relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, if the shares of Class
A common stock are, at the time of any exercise of a warrant, not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy 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 warrants
(except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
●
in whole and
not in part;
●
at a price
of $0.01 per warrant;
●
upon not less
than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
● if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”) equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted).
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.
Redemption of Warrants When the Price per
share of Class A common stock Equals or Exceeds $10.00 — Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding
warrants:
●
in whole and
not in part;
●
at $0.10 per
warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, provided that holders will be able to exercise their
warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares based on the redemption date and the fair market
value of the shares of Class A common stock;
●
if, and only
if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted); and
● if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.
The exercise price and number of shares of Class
A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share
dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the
Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Class A 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.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional
shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial
Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue
price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such
issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as
applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent
more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Company’s initial Business Combination
on the date of the consummation of such initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading
price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the
Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise
price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued
Price, the $18.00 and $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to
180% and 100%, respectively, of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there
were 4,706,667 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying
the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon
the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of
a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a
cashless basis and be non-redeemable, except as described above, so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted
transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees,
the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
NOTE 9. 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 fair value hierarchy (see Note 2) is used to classify assets and
liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities.
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, assets
held in the Trust Account were comprised of $ 253,031,569 and $ 253,027,240 in a U.S. Fixed income securities fund. During the period ended
March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account.
The following tables present information about
the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021
and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

(UNAUDITED)
The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities
in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the Company’s accompanying March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 condensed
balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value
presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed statements of operations.
The Company initially valued its Private Placement
Warrants utilizing a lattice model, specifically a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology and subsequently
valued the Private Placement Warrants through March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement
of operations. The estimated fair value of the warrant liabilities was determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a binomial options
pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield.
The Company estimates the volatility of its shares of common stock based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining
life of the Private Placement Warrants. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant
date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the Private Placement Warrants. The expected life of the warrants were
assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates
to remain at zero.
The measurement of the Public Warrants after
the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active
market. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the closing price of the Public Warrant was used
as the fair value for the Warrants as of each relevant date. At December 31, 2021 the Private Placement Warrants transferred to Level
2 due to the use of an observable market quote for a similar asset in an active market.
Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized
at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs. The estimated fair value of the Public
Warrants previously transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement for the year ended December 31, 2021 was
$ 6,831,000 . The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 2 fair value
measurement for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $ 2,588,667 . The Company did not have any Level 3 Financial Instruments during the
period-ended December 31, 2020. There were no transfer during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions
that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review,
the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed financial statements.

Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the
laws of the State of Delaware on November 17, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition,
stock purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination
using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrant, our capital stock, debt or
a combination of cash, stock and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs
in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Recent Developments
On March 11, 2022, the Company and GT Gettaxi
Limited entered into a Termination of the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to which the parties mutually agreed to terminate the
Business Combination Agreement, effective immediately. As per the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November
11, 2021, the Company requested that the Target’s management undertake a thorough analysis of its financial projections. Following
the conclusion of that process, and extensive mutual efforts to negotiate an appropriate valuation adjustment, both parties agreed to
terminate the Business Combination Agreement.
As a result of the termination of the Business
Combination Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement is of no further force and effect, and certain transaction agreements entered
into in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated
as of November 9, 2021 and to be effective as of the closing of the Business Combination, by and among the Company, a Delaware limited
liability company, and certain holders, will either be terminated or no longer be effective, as applicable, in accordance with their
respective terms.
The Company intends to continue to pursue the
consummation of a business combination with an appropriate target.

Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor
generated any revenues to date. Our only activities for the period from November 17, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2022 were organizational
activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business
Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate
non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result
of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we
had a net income of $7,053,847, which consists of change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $7,514,642 and interest earned on investment
held in Trust Account of $4,329, offset by formation and operating costs of $465,124.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we
had a net income of $3,221,641, which consists of change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $3,810,600 and interest earned on investment
held in Trust Account of $7,140, offset by formation and operating costs of $157,816 and transaction costs allocated to warrant liability
of $438,283.
Liquidation and Going Concern
On February 17, 2021, we consummated the Initial
Public Offering of 25,300,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $253,000,000 which is described in Note 3. Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 4,706,667 Private Placement Warrant at a price of
$1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $7,060,000, which is described
in Note 4.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash
used in operating activities was $303,514. Net income of $7,053,847 was affected by change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $7,514,642
and interest income on investment held in the Trust Account of $4,329. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $161,610
of cash for operating activities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash
used in operating activities was $149,987. Net income of $3,221,641 was affected by transaction costs associated with Initial Public
Offering of $438,283, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $3,810,600 and interest income on investment held in the Trust Account
of $7,140. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $7,829 of cash for operating activities.
As of March 31, 2022, we had U.S. Treasury Funds
held in the Trust Account of $253,031,569 consisting of fixed income securities. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account
may be used by us to pay taxes. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing
interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital
stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the
Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions
and pursue our growth strategies.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $465,918
in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $2,287,950. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account
primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and
from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents
and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies
or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their
affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such
loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the
Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000
of such loans may be convertible into Units at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The Units would be identical
to the Private Placement Warrants.
In connection with the Company’s assessment
of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s ASU 205-40, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s
Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until February 17, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain
that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity
to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the issuance of these financial statements. If a Business Combination
is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined
that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution,
raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying
amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after February 17, 2023. The Company intends to complete
the proposed Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to consummate any Business Combination by February 17, 2023. In addition, the Company may need to raise additional capital through loans
or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors
and Sponsor 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, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional
financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, the Company 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 through the
liquidation date of February 17, 2023
18
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in above to the financial statements, if the Company
is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs as well as complete a Business Combination by the close of business
on February 17, 2023, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. This date for mandatory liquidation
and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities,
which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2022. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships
with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established
for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements,
established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease
obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of one of our executive
officers a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, support and administrative services. We began incurring these fees on February 11,
2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee
of $0.35 per Unit, or $8,855,000 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.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements
and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ
from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting policies.
Warrant Liabilities
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge
exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase
warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480
and ASC 815. The Company accounts for warrants in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815 and determined that the Warrants
do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments
pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for
equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions
for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance
and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
Accordingly, the Company recognizes the 8,433,333
Public Warrants and 4,706,667 Private Placement Warrants as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each
reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value
is recognized in the Company’s condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants were measured at fair value
using a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology.
The measurement of the Public Warrants after
the separation of the Public Warrants from the Units is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active
market. For periods subsequent to the separation of the Public Warrants from the Units, the closing price of the Public Warrant was used
as the fair value for the warrants as of each relevant date. At December 31, 2021 the Private Placement Warrants transferred to Level
2 due to the use of an observable market quote for a similar asset in an active market. See Notes 8 and 9.
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A common stock subject
to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480. Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption
is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock
that feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain
events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’
equity. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence
of uncertain future events. Accordingly, 25,300,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary
equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of our condensed balance sheets.
19
Net Income Per Common Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure
requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of common stock, which are referred
to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of stock. Net income
per common share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective
period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption
value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06,
“Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and ASU 2020-06, which simplifies accounting for convertible
instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are
required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation
in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those
fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any other recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under
the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due solely to the material weakness
in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s accounting for complex financial instruments. As a result,
we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present
fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Management intends to implement remediation steps
to improve our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we intend to expand
and improve our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We have improved this process by enhancing access
to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications
and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal
quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Factors that could cause our actual results to
differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report include the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the SEC on March 31, 2022. Any of those factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations
or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business
or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022, other than as described below. We may disclose changes to such
factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Changes in laws or regulations or how such
laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws or regulations, may adversely affect our business,
including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, and results of operations.
We are subject to laws and regulations enacted
by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements,
our Business Combination may be contingent on our ability to comply with certain laws and regulations and any post-Business Combination
company may be subject to additional laws and regulations. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be
difficult, time consuming and costly. A failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have
a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, and results
of operations. In addition, those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may change from time to time, including
as a result of changes in economic, political, social and government policies, and those changes could have a material adverse effect
on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, and results of operations.
On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules
that would, among other items, impose additional disclosure requirements in business combination transactions involving special purpose
acquisition companies (“SPACs”) and private operating companies; amend the financial statement requirements applicable to
business combination transactions involving such companies; update and expand guidance regarding the general use of projections in SEC
filings, as well as when projections are disclosed in connection with proposed business combination transactions; increase the potential
liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and impact the extent to which SPACs could become subject
to regulation under the Investment Company Act. These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in revised form, may materially
adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination and may increase the
costs and time related thereto.
Our search for a Business Combination,
and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate a Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected by the geopolitical
conditions resulting from the recent invasion of Ukraine by Russia and subsequent sanctions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals
and entities and the status of debt and equity markets, as well as protectionist legislation in our target markets.
United States and global markets are experiencing
volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the recent invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February
2022. In response to such invasion, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to
eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and
restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions
from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United
States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine during the ongoing military conflict,
increasing geopolitical tensions with Russia. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the resulting measures that have been taken, and
could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have created global
security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military
conflict in Ukraine is highly unpredictable, the conflict could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity
prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions. Additionally, Russian military actions and the resulting sanctions
could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.
21
Any of the abovementioned factors, or any other
negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine
and subsequent sanctions, could adversely affect our search for a Business Combination and any target business with which we may ultimately
consummate a Business Combination. The extent and duration of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, resulting sanctions and any related market
disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial, particularly if current or new sanctions continue for an extended period
of time or if geopolitical tensions result in expanded military operations on a global scale. Any such disruptions may also have the
effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
with the SEC. If these disruptions or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate
a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which we may ultimately consummate a Business Combination, may be
materially adversely affected.
In addition, the recent invasion of Ukraine by
Russia, and the impact of sanctions against Russia and the potential for retaliatory acts from Russia, could result in increased cyber-attacks
against U.S. companies.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
and Use of Proceeds.
On February 17, 2021, we consummated the Initial
Public Offering of 25,300,000 Units. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of
$253,000,000. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-252478).
The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statements effective on February 11, 2021.
Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial
Public Offering, the Sponsor consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 4,706,667 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”)
at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $7,060,000. Each whole Private Warrant is exercisable
to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from
registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical
to the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable,
assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial
Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the Private Placement Warrant, an aggregate of $253,000,000 was placed
in the Trust Account.
We paid a total of $5,060,000 in underwriting
discounts and commissions and $457,127 for other costs and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering.
For a description of the use of the proceeds
generated in our Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
