Note
1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations
Northern
Lights Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on February 26, 2021 . The Company
was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other
similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “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 June 30, 2022, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period February 26, 2021 (inception) through
June 30, 2022, relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”),
and, since the closing of the initial public offering, the Company has entered into a unit purchase agreement and a securities purchase
agreement (as described below). 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 June 23, 2021. On June 28, 2021, the
Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A Common
Stock included in the Units offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $ 115,000,000 , which is described
in Note 3.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 528,175 private placement units (the “Private
Placement Units”) at a price of $ 10.00 per unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $ 5,281,750 ,
which is described in Note 4.
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering on June 28, 2021, an amount of $ 117,300,000 ($ 10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the
sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”)
which may be invested 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 any open-ended investment company
that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the
Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account to the Company’s
stockholders, as described below.
Transaction
costs of the Initial Public Offering amounted to $ 6,263,677 , of which $ 1,725,000 was for underwriting fees paid at the time of the IPO,
$ 4,025,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions, and $ 513,677 was for other offering costs.
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering $ 938,853 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account available for working capital purposes.
As of June 30, 2022, we have $ 172,441 of cash on our balance sheet and working capital deficit of $ 1,810,112 .
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 the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward
consummating a Business Combination. NASDAQ rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that
together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (less any deferred underwriting
commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of a definitive agreement to enter
a Business Combination . The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires
50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target 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 successfully effect a Business Combination.

TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (Continued)
On
February 11, 2022, the Company and 5AK, LLC (our “Sponsor”) entered into a definitive unit purchase agreement (the “Unit
Purchase Agreement”) with SHF, LLC d/b/a Safe Harbor Financial, a Colorado limited liability company (“SHF”), SHF Holding
Co., LLC, the sole member of SHF (the “Seller”), and Partner Colorado Credit Union, the sole member of the Seller (“PCCU”).
Pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement, upon the closing (the “Closing”) of the Business Combination, we will purchase all
of the issued and outstanding membership interests of SHF in exchange for an aggregate of $ 185,000,000 , consisting of (i) 11,386,139
shares of Class A Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to $ 115,000,000 and (b) $ 70,000,000 in cash. Pursuant to the original terms
of the Unit Purchase Agreement, the Unit Purchase Agreement could be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at
any time prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including, among others, if the Closing had not occurred by June 30, 2022
(the “Outside Date”). On June 30, 2022, the Company, the Sponsor, SHF, the Seller, and PCCU agreed to amend the Unit Purchase
Agreement to extend the Outside Date until July 29, 2022, with the ability for the deadline to be extended through September 28, 2022,
to provide the Company with additional time to complete the Business Combination (the “UPA Extension”) as it awaits regulatory
approval.
Concurrently
with entering into the Unit Purchase Agreement, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (a “Securities Purchase
Agreement”) with certain investors (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which, among other things,
the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and we agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 60,000
shares (the “PIPE Shares”) of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.0001
per share (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”), and warrants to purchase up to a number of shares of Class A
Common Stock equal to 50 %
of shares of the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the PIPE Shares (the “PIPE Warrants”) for gross
proceeds of $ 60.0
million (the “PIPE Financing”). The Securities Purchase Agreement could be terminated under certain customary and
limited circumstances at any time prior to the closing of the PIPE Financing, including, among others, if the closing had not
occurred by June 30, 2022. The Company is currently completing satisfaction of its remaining closing conditions, including
regulatory approvals, and is discussing with the PIPE Investors their continuing interest in the investment contemplated by the
Securities Purchase Agreement.
The
Company’s stockholders approved the Business Combination at the special meeting of stockholders held on June 28, 2022. In connection
with the proposed Business Combination with SHF, the Company provided its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a
portion of their Class A Common Stock upon the completion of such Business Combination. Stockholders holding 7,554,784 shares of Class
A Common Stock submitted redemption requests in connection with the anticipated closing of the Business Combination. Following the extension
of the Outside Date, these stockholders who previously submitted redemption requests in connection with the closing of the Business Combination
may request that such redemption requests be reversed by contacting the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company. It is currently anticipated that all shareholders, with the exception of those parties described in the below Forward Purchase Agreement
section, will have an additional opportunity to redeem shares prior to the closing of the proposed Business Combination.
In
the event the proposed Business Combination with SHF is not consummated, in connection with an alternative proposed initial business
combination, the Company will provide its 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. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company may seek stockholder approval of
a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether
they vote for or against a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible
assets of at least $ 5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks
stockholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination .
The
Company initially had until June 28, 2022 to consummate a Business Combination. If the Company was unable to complete a Business Combination
within 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, such period could (i) be extended by the Company’s stockholders
in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or (ii) at the election of the Company subject
to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the deposit of up to $ 2,300,000 into the Trust Account, be extended up to six additional
months to December 28, 2022. On June 27, 2022, the Company, with proceeds advanced from an affiliate of the Sponsor, deposited $1,150,000
in the Trust Account extending operations for three months from June 28, 2022 to September 28, 2022. If the Company is unable to complete
a Business Combination by September 28, 2022, such period could (i) be extended by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with
the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or (ii) at the election of the Company subject to satisfaction
of certain conditions, including the deposit of up to $1,150,000 into the Trust Account, be extended an additional three months to December
28, 2022. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by December 28, 2022 and such period is not extended by the Company’s
stockholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Company will (i) cease all
operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no 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 the Company 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 liquidation distributions, if any),
subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining
stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution
of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of
applicable law. On June 30, 2022, $168,617 in Trust Account interest income was released to the Company and utilized to pay franchise
taxes .
The
underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company
does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds
held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is
possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price
per Unit ($ 10.00 ). There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Founder Shares (as defined below)
or the shares of Class A Common Stock and the warrants that are included as components of the Private Placement Units. Such warrants
will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the 12-month time period (or up to 18-month time
period).

The
Sponsor has agreed that it will 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 entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality
or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20
per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the day of liquidation of the Trust Account,
if less than $10.20 per 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 (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of
the underwriter of Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”) . However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor
has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that
the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure its stockholders that the Sponsor
would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by
third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses. 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, prospective target businesses or 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.
Liquidity
As
of June 30, 2022, the Company had $ 172,441 in cash and a working capital deficit of $ 1,810,112 . As described above, on June 28, 2021
the Company closed its IPO of 11,500,000 Units at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 115.0 million, and also consummated
the Private Placement of 528,175 Private Placement units to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement unit, generating
gross proceeds of $ 5,281,750 .
The
Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of its IPO were satisfied through the proceeds of $ 25,000 from the sale of
the Founder Shares and proceed from the promissory note from sponsor of $ 92,737 , which was repaid upon closure of the IPO. Subsequent
to the IPO, the Company’s liquidity will be satisfied through a portion of the net proceeds from IPO held outside of the Trust
Account.
The
Company intends to complete its initial Business Combination before September 28, 2022, however, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to consummate the Business Combination by then. In the event that we are unable to consummate the Business
Combination before September 28, 2022, we anticipate identifying and accessing additional capital resources in order to extend the
Business Combination period to December 28, 2022. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will have access to sufficient
capital to extend the deadline to consummate the Business Combination. As a result, in connection with the Company’s
assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards
Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going
Concern,” it is uncertain that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company
beyond September 28, 2022. Should a Business Combination not occur by September 28, 2022, Management has determined that given the
liquidity condition of the Company as well as the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to extend the deadline to consummate the Business
Combination, there is 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. 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 September 28, 2022.

Deferred
offering costs consist of costs incurred in connection with preparation for the PIPE Financing to be executed in conjunction with the
Business Combination. These costs, together with the underwriting discounts and commissions, will be allocated among the freestanding
financial instruments that are included in the PIPE Financing. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had deferred offering costs of $ 201,405
and accrued offering costs of $ 176,405 which are included in accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed balance sheet. There were

Forward
purchase agreement
On
June 16, 2022, the Company, SHF, and Midtown East Management NL LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Midtown East ”),
entered into an agreement (the “ Forward Purchase Agreement ”) for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction (the “ Forward
Purchase Transaction ”). Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement (a) Midtown East intends, but is not obligated,
to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share (“ Class A Common Stock ”),
after the date of the Forward Purchase Agreement from holders of Class A Common Stock, other than the Company or affiliates of the Company,
who have requested that their shares of Class A Common Stock be redeemed or indicated an interest in having their shares of Class A Common
Stock redeemed pursuant to the redemption rights set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in
connection with the Business Combination (such holders, “ Redeeming Holders ”) and (b) Midtown East has agreed to waive
any redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination with respect to any shares of Class A Common Stock it purchases in
accordance with the Forward Purchase Agreement (the “ Subject Shares ”). The number of Subject Shares shall be no more
than the lesser of (i) 5,000,000 and (ii) the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock such that Midtown East does not beneficially
own greater than 9.9 % of the Class A Common Stock on a post-combination pro forma basis. Midtown East will purchase any Additional Shares
(as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement) at the Redemption Price (as defined in Section 9.2 of the Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation of the Company (the “ Certificate of Incorporation ”)), and has undertaken to purchase all Subject
Shares at a price no higher than the Redemption Price.
Subsequent
to entering into the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Company, the Target, and Midtown East entered into assignment and novation agreements
with Verdun Investments LLC (“ Verdun ”) and Vellar Opportunity Fund SPV LLC – Series 1 (“ Vellar ”),
pursuant to which Midtown East assigned its obligations as to 1,666,666 shares of the shares of Class A Stock to be purchased under the
Forward Purchase Agreement to each of Verdun and Vellar. As of June 27, 2022, Midtown East had purchased an aggregate of 1,599,496 shares
of Class A Stock, Verdun had purchased an aggregate of 1,180,376 shares of Class A Stock, and Vellar had purchased an aggregate of 1,025,000
shares of Class A Stock (the “ Purchased Shares ”) in the Forward Purchase Transaction at an average purchase price
per share of $ 10.21 . 630,736 of the Purchased Shares were purchased from a holder of 5 % or more of the Class A Stock. Pursuant to the
Forward Purchase Agreement, Midtown East, Verdun, and Vellar have waived all redemption rights under the Certificate of Incorporation
that would require redemption by the Company of the Purchased Shares.
At
June 30, 2022, Midtown East and its assignees had purchased 3,804,872 in shares pursuant to this agreement. The related amount of $ 38,809,694
has been reclassified from temporary to permanent equity. Also in connection with the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Company recognized
a liability for a freestanding derivative, referred to herein as the “forward purchase option derivative,” on its Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 10 for further detail.
The
primary purpose of entering into the Forward Purchase Agreement is to help ensure the maximum redemption threshold condition in the Unit
Purchase Agreement will be met, increasing the likelihood that the transaction will close.
Risks
and Uncertainties
Management
is currently evaluating 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 the financial statement. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Additionally,
as a result of the military action commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in the country of Ukraine and related
economic sanctions, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, including the proposed Business Combination with
SHF, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, including SHF, may
be materially and adversely affected. Further, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability
to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased
market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and
related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or
ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.
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,
which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period
difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the balance sheets in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the 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. Accordingly, the actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company had $ 172,441 and $ 254,523 , respectively, in cash and no cash
equivalents as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Trust
Account
Upon
the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $ 117,300,000 ($ 10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial
Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement was held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located
in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. government treasury
obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment
Company Act 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which will be invested 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 Trust Account as described below.
On
June 27, 2022, the Company, with proceeds advanced from an affiliate of the Sponsor, deposited $ 1,150,000 in the Trust Account extending
operations for three months from June 28, 2022. On June 30, 2022, $ 168,617 in Trust Account interest income was released to the Company
and utilized to pay franchise taxes.
Income
Taxes
The
Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset
and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed
for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible
amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of June
30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it.
ASC
740-270-25-2 requires that an annual effective tax rate be determined and such annual effective rate applied to year to date income in
interim periods. If management is unable to estimate a portion of its ordinary income, but is otherwise able to reliably estimate the
remainder, ASC 740-270-25-3 provides that the tax applicable to that item be reported in the interim period in which the item occurs.
The tax (or benefit) related to ordinary income (or loss) shall be computed at an estimated annual effective tax rate and the tax (or
benefit) related to all other items shall be individually computed and recognized when the items occur. Management is unable to estimate
a portion of its ordinary income and as a result had computed the company’s tax provision in accordance with ASC 740-270-25-3 The
Company’s effective tax rate was ( 0.75 %)
and 0.00 %
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and ( 1.31 %)
and 0.00 %
for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the period February 26, 2021 to June 30, 2021 respectively. The effective tax rate differs
from the statutory tax rate of 21 %
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the period February 26, 2021 to June
30, 2021, primarily due to changes in fair value in warrant liability, changes in fair value in the Forward Purchase Agreement derivative
liability, and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.
ASC
Topic 740 also 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, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no
amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that
could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering and PIPE Offering
Offering
costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering.
Offering costs are 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 associated with warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as
offering costs allocated to warrants in the condensed statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Public Shares were

Class
A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The
Company accounts for its shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability
instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable shares of common stock (including shares of common stock that feature
redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not
solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares are classified as stockholders’
equity. The Company’s shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control
and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events.
On
June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 4,333,047
and 528,175 shares,
respectively, of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding that were issued as component securities of the Private Placement Units
(Note 4). At December 31, 2021, 11,500,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock were subject to possible redemption. At June 30, 2022, 7,695,128
shares of Class A Common Stock were subject to possible redemption with 3,804,872 shares held by purchasers subject to the forward
purchase agreement who have waived their redemption rights.
If
it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption
value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable,
if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur
and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected
to recognize the changes immediately. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings,
or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).

Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution
which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $ 250,000 . The Company has not experienced
losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Net
Income (Loss) Per Share
Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding for
the period. The calculation of diluted loss per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with
the Initial Public Offering and warrants issued as components of the Private Placement Units (the “Placement Warrants”) since
the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.
The
Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. The contractual formula utilized to calculate the redemption
amount approximates fair value. The Class feature to redeem at fair value means that there is effectively only one class of stock.
Changes in fair value are not considered a dividend of the purposes of the numerator in the earnings per share calculation. Net loss
per common share is computed by dividing the pro rata net loss between the redeemable shares and the non-redeemable shares by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each of the periods. The calculation of diluted loss per common stock
does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the IPO since the exercise of the warrants are contingent
upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive. The warrants are exercisable for 6,014,088
shares of common stock in the aggregate.

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 sheet, primarily due to their
short-term nature.
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 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.
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.

Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and
Other Options (Subtopic 470- 0) 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 U.S. GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement
conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted
earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified
retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. 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 pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a
material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

3 — Public Offering
Pursuant
to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 11,500,000 Units at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share
of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, $ 0.0001 par value, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”).
Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per whole
share (see Note 7).
Note
4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously
with the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 528,175 Private Placement Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Private
Placement Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $ 5,281,750 .
The
Private Placement Units are identical to the Units, except that (a) the Private Placement Units and their component securities will not
be transferable, assignable or saleable until the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination except to permitted
transferees and (b) the Placement Warrants, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) may be exercised
by the holders on a cashless basis and (ii) will be entitled to registration rights.

Founder
Shares
On
March 19, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) to the
Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $ 25,000 . On March 24, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 10,000 shares to the Company’s Chief
Financial Officer and 10,000 shares to each of the Company’s three independent directors. Effective
January 18, 2022, the Sponsor agreed to allocate an additional 90,000 shares to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer which
may be purchased by Mr. Fameree at the same price as the Founder shares were acquired or $ 0.009 per share contingent upon closing of
NLIT’s business combination.
The
option to purchase the Founders Shares provided to the Company’s CFO is in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock
Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured
at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 90,000 options to purchase shares granted to the Company’s CFO was $ 800,725
or $ 8.90 per option. The Founders Shares were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination).
Compensation expense related to the Founders Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under
the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. As of June 30, 2022, the Company determined that a Business Combination is
not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. Stock-based compensation would be recognized
at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the
number of Founders Shares times the grant date fair value per option (unless subsequently modified) less the amount ultimately received
for the purchase of the Founders Shares.
The
Founder Shares which the Sponsor and its permitted transferees will collectively own, on an as-converted basis, represent 20 % of the
Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell
any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) six months after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) the date
on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or similar transaction that results in the Company’s
stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $ 12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock
splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing
at least 150 days after the Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

Party Loans
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor,
or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working
Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation
of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $ 1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation
of a Business Combination into units at a price of $ 10.00 per unit. The Units will be identical to the Private Placement Units. 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. To date, the Company
has no working capital loans outstanding.
On
June 27, 2022, the Company, with proceeds advanced from an affiliate of the Sponsor through a non-interest bearing advance (the “Advance”), deposited $ 1,150,000
in the Trust Account extending operations for three months from June 28, 2022 to September 28, 2022. If
the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate a Business Combination by September 28, 2022, the Company may, by
resolution of the Company’s board if requested by the Sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination
up to one additional time by an additional three months (for a total of up to 18 months to complete a Business Combination from the
consummation of the Company’s IPO), subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds into the Trust Account as set out
below.
Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the trust agreement
entered into between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, in order for the time available for the Company
to consummate the initial Business Combination to be extended, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees, upon five business days
advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the Trust Account $ 1,150,000
since the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full ($ 0.10
per unit), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each of the available three month extensions, providing a total
possible Business Combination period of 18 months at a total payment value of $ 2,300,000
since the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full ($ 0.10
per unit) (the “Extension Loans”). Any such payments would be made in the form of non-interest-bearing loans (the “Extension Loans”). As noted
above, the first such extension was made on June 27, 2022.
If
the Company completes its initial Business Combination, the Company will, at the option of the Sponsor, repay the Extension Loans
out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company or convert a portion or all of the total loan amount into units at
a price of $ 10.00
per unit, which units will be identical to the Private Placement Units. The Sponsor and its affiliate have waived this
conversion right and the Advance will be repaid at the closing of the initial Business Combination utilizing cash. If the Company
does not complete a Business Combination, the Company will repay such loans only from funds held outside of the Trust Account.
Furthermore, the letter agreement among the Company and the Company’s officers, directors, and the Sponsor contains a
provision pursuant to which the Sponsor will agree to waive its right to be repaid for such loans to the extent there is
insufficient funds held outside of the Trust Account in the event that the Company does not complete a Business Combination. The
Sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for the Company to complete
the initial Business Combination. The public stockholders will not be afforded an opportunity to vote on the extension of time to
consummate an initial Business Combination from 12 months to 18 months described above or redeem their shares in connection with
such extensions.
During
the three months ending June 30, 2022, Luminous Capital Inc., an affiliate of the Sponsor, paid $ 222,211 in expenses on behalf of the
Company. This amount was included in accounts payable/accrued expenses at June 30, 2022. On June 30, 2022, $ 168,617 in Trust Account
interest income was released to the Company and utilized to pay franchise taxes.
Administrative
Support Agreement
Commencing
on the date of the Initial Public Offering and until completion of the Company’s Business Combination or liquidation, the
Company may reimburse Luminous Capital Inc., an affiliate of the Sponsor, up to an amount of $ 10,000
per month for office space, secretarial and administrative support. For the three and six months ending June 30, 2022, $ 30,000
and $ 60,000
in support fees was incurred, respectively. $ 10,000
in support fees was incurred for both the period from February 26, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021 and the three months
ending June 30, 2021. $ 10,000
and $ 0 in support fees were due to Luminous Capital Inc. at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Note
7 – Warrant Liability
As
of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has 5,750,000 Public Warrants and the 264,088 Private Placement Warrants, respectively,
outstanding.
Public
Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only
whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (i) the date of the completion of a Business Combination
and (ii) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination
or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
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 issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A Common
Stock is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. 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 from registration is available.

7 – Warrant Liability (Continued)
The
Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of its initial Business
Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement
or a new registration statement covering the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration
statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A Common Stock until the warrants
expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the Company’s initial business
combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company
will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with
Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s 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, it 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, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event
it does not so elect, it 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. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise
their warrants on a cashless basis.
Redemption
of warrants when the price per Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $ 18.00 . Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem
the Public Warrants:
●
in
whole and not in part;
●
at
a price of $ 0.01 per Public Warrant;
●
upon
not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
●
if,
and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and certain issuances of Class A Common Stock and equity-linked
securities) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing no earlier than the date the warrants become exercisable
and ending on the third business day before the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
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.
If
the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the
Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares
of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock
dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance 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 warrants.
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window and the Company liquidates the funds held in
the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution
from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire
worthless.

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 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the
nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger
price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The
Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Placement
Warrants and the Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable
until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Placement Warrants
are exercisable on a cashless basis and non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.
If the Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Placement Warrants
will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
The
Company accounted for the aggregate 6,014,088 warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the 5,750,000 Public Warrants
and the 264,088 Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815-40. Such guidance provides that because
the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability due to the existence
of provisions whereby adjustments to the exercise price of the warrants is based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value
of a ‘‘fixed-for-fixed’’ option and the existence of the potential for net cash settlement for the warrant holders
(but not all common stockholders) in the event of a tender offer.
The
accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record a derivative liability upon the closing of
the Initial Public Offering. Accordingly, the Company classified each warrant as a liability at its fair value and the warrants were
allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to its fair value determined by the Monte Carlo simulation.
This liability is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted
to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company will reassess the
classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be
reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.

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.
In 2021, the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement, after they split from the units
and started trading.
The
Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Public Warrants were initially valued using a Modified Monte Carlo Simulation.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Public warrants were valued using the instrument’s publicly listed trading price
as of the balance sheet date, which is considered to be a Level 1 measurement due to the use of an observable market quote in an active
market.
As
of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, assets held in the Trust Account were entirely held in a mutual fund invested in U.S. Treasury
Securities.
The
Company recognized $ 781,070 in expense and liabilities for the forward purchase option derivative upon the agreement execution of June
16, 2022 with a change in fair value of $ 14,872 recognized from execution to June 30, 2022. The
fair value of the forward purchase option derivative was estimated using a Monte-Carlo Simulation in a risk-neutral framework (a special
case of the Income Approach). Specifically, the future stock price is simulated assuming a Geometric Brownian Motion (“GBM”).
For each simulated path, the forward purchase value is calculated based on the contractual terms and then discounted at the term-matched
risk-free rate. Finally, the value of the forward is calculated as the average present value over all simulated paths. The Company measured
the fair value of the forward purchase option derivative upon execution of the Forward Purchase Agreement and as of June 30, 2022, with
the respective fair value adjustments recorded within its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company will continue to monitor
the fair value of the forward option derivative each reporting period with subsequent revisions to be recorded in the Consolidated Statements
of Operations.
The
Company recognized $ 5,031,474 for the derivative warrant liabilities upon their issuance on June 28, 2021. The Sponsor paid an aggregate
of $ 5,852,750 for Private Placement Warrants with an initial aggregate fair value of $ 224,474 . The excess purchase price over the initial
fair value on the private placement closing date is recognized as a capital contribution from the Sponsor.
The
Company utilizes a binomial Monte-Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of the warrants at each reporting period for warrants that
are not actively traded. The estimated fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent
in a binomial Monte Carlo simulation are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate
and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility of select peer companies
that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is 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 warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed
to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates
remaining at zero.

Note
10 – Forward Purchase Agreement
As
discussed in Note 1 on June 16, 2022, NLIT entered into a Forward Purchase Agreement with Midtown and its assignees for a Forward Purchase
Transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Midtown and its assignees, as of June 30, 2022, had purchased approximately
3,804,872 shares of NLIT’s Class A common stock in exchange for an amount to be paid of $ 38,847,743 (the Prepayment Amount). At
close of the Business Combination, the amount will be paid out of the trust account and will be held in a deposit account for the benefit
of Midtown and its assignees until the Valuation Date. There are a few scenarios in which the Forward Purchase Agreement can be settled
either before or on the Valuation Date:
i) At
any time prior to the Valuation Date, Midtown may elect an optional early termination to
sell some or all of the Forward Purchase shares in the open market. If Midtown sells any
shares prior to the Valuation Date, a pro-rata portion of the Prepayment Amount will be released
from the deposit account and paid to the Company. Midtown shall retain any proceeds from
the sale of such shares in excess of such pro-rata portion paid to the Company. The Business
Combination Target will be entitled to the product of the number of shares sold times the
redemption price or the Reset Price. The Reset Price is adjusted on the first scheduled trading
day of each month following the Business Combination and is the lower of: i) the then current
reset price, ii) $ 10.00 and iii) the VWAP price of the last 10 scheduled trading days of
the prior month but not lower than $ 5.00 .
ii) On
the Valuation Date, if any shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement remain unsold,
Midtown is entitled to the product of the unsold shares multiplied by the Forward Price (which
is equal to the redemption price as outlined in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
dated June 21, 2021) and an incremental $ 2.00 per share for any unsold shares. The incremental
$ 2.00 per share maybe settled in cash or shares at the discretion of the Company.
iii) If
the volume weighted average share price (“VWAP”) of the shares falls below $3.00
per share for 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days (a “VWAP Trigger Event”),
then Midtown may elect to accelerate the Valuation Date to the date of such VWAP Trigger
Event. If Midtown elects to accelerate the Valuation Date, the settlement amount returned
to the Company would follow the methodology in the above section which will equate to the
product of unsold shares multiplied by the Forward Price ad an incremental $2.00 per unsold
share to be settled in cash or shares.
A
break-up fee equal to (i) all (a) structuring fees and (b) attorney fees and other reasonable expenses related thereto incurred by Midtown
or its assignees in connection with the forward purchase agreement, plus (ii) $ 1,000,000 , shall be payable to Midtown upon any failure
to close the Business Combination following the consummation of the Forward Purchase Transaction except where the Business Combination
did not occur as a result of regulatory items or a material breach of Midtown’s obligation under the agreement. Midtown waived
any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the
trust account
In
accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , the Company has determined that the forward option within the Forward Purchase
Agreement is (i) a freestanding financial instrument and (ii) a derivative. This derivative, referred to throughout as the “forward
purchase option derivative” is recorded as a liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has performed
fair value measurements for this derivative as of closing and as of June 30, 2022, which is described in Note 9. The Company remeasures
the fair value of the forward purchase option derivative each reporting period.
Note
11 – Subsequent Events
Management
has evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statement
was issued. Based upon this review, other than the events included in the above notes, the Company did not identify any subsequent events
that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statement.
