−Removed: Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed
−Removed: under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the
−Removed: SEC’s rules and forms.
−Removed: Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated
−Removed: and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely
−Removed: decisions regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: Our management evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal
−Removed: financial and accounting officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
−Removed: as of December 31, 2021, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers
−Removed: concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, solely due to the events that led to the Company's restatement of its financial statements to reclassify the Company's Public Warrants, as well as the restatement for the temporary equity subject to possible redemption, as described in the Explanatory Note to this Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
−Removed: do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud.
−Removed: Disclosure controls and
−Removed: procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
−Removed: disclosure controls and procedures are met.
−Removed: Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there
−Removed: are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs.
−Removed: Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all
−Removed: our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any.
−Removed: The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain
−Removed: assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
−Removed: goals under all potential future conditions.
−Removed: control over financial reporting did not result in the proper classification of our warrants.
−Removed: Since their issuance on February 11, 2021,
−Removed: our warrants have been accounted for as liabilities within our balance sheet.
−Removed: On April 12, 2021, the SEC Staff issued the SEC Staff
−Removed: Statement in which the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the Public Warrants
−Removed: to be classified as equity on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to liabilities.
−Removed: After discussion and evaluation, taking into consideration
−Removed: the SEC Staff Statement, including with our independent auditors, we have concluded that our Private warrants should be presented as liabilities
−Removed: with subsequent fair value remeasurement.
−Removed: previously disclosed, the Company concluded it should restate its financial statements to classify all ordinary shares subject to
−Removed: possible redemption in temporary equity.
−Removed: In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments,
−Removed: ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480), paragraph 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely
−Removed: within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.
−Removed: Company had previously classified a portion of its ordinary shares in permanent equity.
−Removed: Although the Company did not specify a
−Removed: maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares in an amount that
−Removed: would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.
−Removed: The Company considered that the threshold would not change the
−Removed: nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus would be required to be disclosed outside equity.
−Removed: As a result, the Company
−Removed: restated its previously filed financial statements to classify ordinary shares subject to redemption as temporary equity and to
−Removed: recognize accretion from the initial book value to redemption value at the time of its IPO and in accordance
−Removed: with ASC 480.
−Removed: The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional
−Removed: paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
−Removed: As a result, management
−Removed: identified these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for warrants and ordinary
−Removed: shares subject to possible redemption.
−Removed: remediate these material weaknesses, we developed a remediation plan with assistance from our accounting advisors and have dedicated
−Removed: significant resources and efforts to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance our system of evaluating
−Removed: and implementing the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements.
−Removed: Our plans at this time include
−Removed: providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel
−Removed: and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications.
−Removed: The elements of our remediation
−Removed: plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended
−Removed: Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
−Removed: required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-
−Removed: d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
−Removed: internal control over financial reporting.

−Removed: reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that
−Removed: could have a material effect on the financial statements.

−Removed: Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
−Removed: because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
−Removed: Management assessed
−Removed: the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2021.

+Added: The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).
+Added: The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
+Added: The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
+Added: (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S.
+Added: generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company;
+Added: and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
+Added: Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
+Added: Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
+Added: Management, with the participation of
+Added: its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
+Added: financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
+Added: Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

+Added: over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.

+Added: Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
+Added: On December 9, 2022, we consummated the Business Combination.
+Added: See Note 1—“Nature of business and organization” and Note 3—“Reverse Capitalization” to the consolidated financial statements.
+Added: We are currently integrating policies, processes, people, technology and operations for the combined company.
+Added: Management will continue to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting as we execute integration activities.
+Added: Other than as noted above,
+Added: there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d)
+Added: and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
+Added: likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
+Added: Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
+Added: However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud.
+Added: A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
+Added: Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
+Added: Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
+Added: These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake.
+Added: Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by the collusion of two or more people or by management override of controls.
+Added: The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions;
+Added: over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
+Added: Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

−Removed: the foregoing, the Company believes it will have sufficient cash to meet its needs to execute its intended initial Business Combination in the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

−Removed: These consolidated financial statements do not include
−Removed: any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should

−Removed: 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
−Removed: of presentation
−Removed: accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S.
−Removed: Dollars in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
−Removed: in the United States of America (“U.S.
−Removed: GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
−Removed: In the opinion of management,
−Removed: all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made that are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial
−Removed: position, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows.
−Removed: of Consolidation
−Removed: consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.
−Removed: All significant intercompany
−Removed: transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.
−Removed: are those entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power;
−Removed: or has the power to
−Removed: govern the financial and operating policies, to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a
−Removed: majority of votes at the meeting of directors.
−Removed: accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the activities of the Company and each of the following entities:
−Removed: Schedule of Subsidiary
−Removed: Merger Sub Corp.
−Removed: Cayman Islands company Incorporated on May 25, 2021
−Removed: Owned by Venus
−Removed: growth company
−Removed: Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our
−Removed: Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements
−Removed: that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required
−Removed: to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding
−Removed: executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory
−Removed: vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
−Removed: Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
−Removed: standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do

−Removed: The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
−Removed: that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.
−Removed: The Company has elected not to opt out of
−Removed: such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public
−Removed: or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
−Removed: adopt the new or revised standard.
−Removed: This may make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public
−Removed: company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition
−Removed: period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
−Removed: preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
−Removed: the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
−Removed: statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
−Removed: estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment.
−Removed: It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of
−Removed: a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered
−Removed: in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events.
−Removed: Accordingly, the actual results
−Removed: could differ significantly from those estimates.
−Removed: and cash equivalents
−Removed: Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
−Removed: The Company did no t have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 or 2020.

−Removed: Impairments are considered other than temporary if
−Removed: 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
−Removed: Realized gains and losses and declines in value determined to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification
−Removed: method and are reported in other income (expense), net in the statements of operations and comprehensive (income) loss.
−Removed: Company accounts for warrants (Public Warrants or Private Warrants) as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based
−Removed: on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board
−Removed: (“FASB”) ASC 480 and ASC 815, “ Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”).
−Removed: The assessment considers

+Added: The variable interest holder, if any, that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE.

+Added: 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.
−Removed: public warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary
−Removed: shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares.
−Removed: It is the Company’s current
−Removed: intention to have an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants

−Removed: price of the warrants and the “Fair Market Value” (defined below) by (y) the Fair Market Value.
−Removed: The “Fair Market Value”
−Removed: 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
−Removed: For example, if a holder held 300 warrants to purchase 150 shares and the Fair Market Value on the date prior to exercise was
