NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1 — Organization and Business Operations
Organization
and General
Archimedes
Tech SPAC Partners Co. (the “Company”) is a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on September
15, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization,
reorganization or other similar Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”).
The Company’s focus will be on the artificial intelligence, cloud services and automotive technology sectors. However, the Company
is not limited to the technology industry, or these sectors therein, and the Company may pursue a Business Combination opportunity in
any business or industry it chooses, and it may pursue a company with operations or opportunities outside of the United States.
The
Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
As
of June 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any revenue-generating operations. All activity for the period from September 15, 2020
(inception) through June 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “IPO”) described
below, and, since the closing of the IPO, the search for a prospective initial 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 on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO and will recognize changes
in the fair value of warrant liability as other income (expense).
The
Company’s sponsor is Archimedes Tech SPAC Sponsors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
References
to the Company’s “initial stockholders” refer to the Company’s stockholders prior to the IPO, excluding the holders
of the Representative Shares (See Note 8).
Financing
The
registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on March 10, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On March
15, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 12,000,000 units, (the “Public Units”), at $ 10.00 per Public Unit, generating
gross proceeds of $ 120,000,000 , which is discussed in Note 4.
Each
Public Unit consists of (i) one subunit (the “Public Subunit”), which consists of one share of common stock (the “Public
Share”) and one-quarter of one redeemable warrant, and (ii) one-quarter of one redeemable warrant (collectively, the redeemable
warrants included in the Public Units and Public Subunits, the “Public Warrants”); each whole Public Warrant will be exercisable
to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $ 11.50 per share.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 390,000 private units (the “Private Units”) at a price of
$ 10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EarlyBirdCapital”),
generating gross proceeds of $ 3,900,000 , which is discussed in Note 5. Each Private Unit consists of (i) one subunit (the “Private
Subunits”), which consists of one share of common stock (the “Private Shares”) and one-quarter of one redeemable warrant,
and (ii) one-quarter of one redeemable warrant (collectively, the redeemable warrants included in the Private Units and Private Subunits,
the “Private Warrants”).
Transaction
costs amounted to $ 2,825,347 consisting of $ 2,400,000 of underwriting discount and $ 425,347 of other offering costs.
The
Company granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,800,000 additional Public Units to cover over-allotments,
if any. On March 19, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 1,300,000 Public Units (the “Over-allotment
Units”), generating an aggregate of gross proceeds of $ 13,000,000 , and incurred transaction costs of $ 260,000 in underwriting discount.
In connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company also consummated the sale of an additional
26,000 Private Units at $ 10.00 per Private Unit to the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital, generating gross proceeds of $ 260,000 .
5
Trust
Account
Following
the closing of the IPO on March 15, 2021 and the underwriters’ partial exercise of over-allotment option on March 19, 2021, $ 133,000,000
from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Units was placed in a trust account maintained
by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”). The funds held in the Trust Account
is and will be invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment
Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under
the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, so that the Company is not deemed to be
an investment company under the Investment Company Act. except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account
that may be released to the Company to pay its income or other tax obligations, the proceeds will not be released from the Trust Account
until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination or the redemption of 100 % of the outstanding Public Subunits if the Company
has not completed a Business Combination in the required time period. The proceeds held in the Trust Account may be used as consideration
to pay the sellers of a target business with which the Company completes a Business Combination. Any amounts not paid as consideration
to the sellers of the target business may be used to finance operations of the target business.
Initial
Business Combination
The
Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of
the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement
to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, 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 sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended
(the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.
The
shares of common stock subject to redemption are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion
of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from
Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least
$ 5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued
and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
The
Company will continue in existence only until 18 months from the closing of the IPO (the “Combination Period”). However,
if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations
except for the purpose of winding up and (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem
100 % of the outstanding Public Subunits, at a per-subunit price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the
Trust Account, including any interest not previously released to the Company (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding
Public Subunits, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as holders of Public Subunits (including
the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law. Public stockholders will also forfeit the
one-quarter of one warrant included in the Public Subunits being redeemed. As promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption,
subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and its board of directors, the Company will dissolve and liquidate, subject to
its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
A
public stockholder will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account (including interest earned on his, her or its portion of
the Trust Account to the extent not previously released to the Company) only in the event of (i) the redemption of 100% of the outstanding
Public Subunits if the Company has not completed a Business Combination in the required time period, (ii) if that public stockholder
converts such Public Subunits, or sells such Public Subunits to the Company in a tender offer, in connection with a Business Combination
which the Company consummates or (iii) the Company seeks to amend any provisions of its amended and restated certificate of incorporation
that would affect the public stockholders’ ability to convert or sell their Public Subunits to the Company in connection with a
Business Combination or affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Subunits if the
Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. This redemption right shall apply in the event of the
approval of any such amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, whether proposed by the Sponsor,
initial stockholders, executive officers, directors or any other person. In no other circumstances will a public stockholder have any
right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account.
6
The
Sponsor, initial stockholders, officers and directors have agreed (1) to vote any shares of common stock owned by them in favor of any
proposed Business Combination, (2) not to convert any shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial Business
Combination and (3) not to sell any shares in any tender in connection with a proposed initial Business Combination.
The
Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $ 10.00 per Public Subunit
by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered or
contracted for or products sold to the Company, but the Company cannot assure that it will be able to satisfy its indemnification obligations
if it is required to do so. 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 believes that the Sponsor’s
only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company believes it is unlikely that the Sponsor will be able to satisfy its
indemnification obligations if it is required to do so.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash outside the Trust Account of $ 803,506 available for its working capital needs. All remaining cash
and securities were held in the Trust Account and is generally unavailable for the Company’s use prior to an initial Business Combination
and is restricted for use either in a Business Combination or to redeem Public Subunits. As of June 30, 2021, none of the amount on deposit
in the Trust Account was available to be withdrawn as described above.
Prior
to the completion of the IPO, the Company’s liquidity needs had been satisfied through receipt of $ 25,000 from the sale of Founder
Shares (see Note 6), advances from the Sponsor in an aggregate amount of $ 125,000 under an unsecured promissory note, which were repaid
upon the IPO (see Note 6). Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO and Private Placement, the Company’s liquidity needs have
been satisfied through the net proceeds from the IPO and Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account.
In
addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor, initial stockholders,
officers, directors and their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans, as defined below (see
Note 6). To date, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
Based
on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs
through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from the issuance date of these financial statements. Over
this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective
initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting
the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

Note 2 — Revision
of Prior Period Financial Statements
As a result of recent guidance to Special Purpose Acquisition Companies
by the SEC regarding redeemable equity instruments, the Company revisited its application of ASC 480-10-S99 on the Company’s financial
statements. The Company had previously classified a portion of its Public Subunits (and the underlying shares of common stock) in permanent
equity. Subsequent to the re-evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that all of its Public Subunits should be classified
as temporary equity. The identified errors impacted the Company’s Form 8-K filing on March 19, 2021 containing the IPO balance sheet
as of March 15, 2021 and Form 10-Q filing on July 27, 2021 containing financial statements as of March 31, 2021. In accordance with SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects
of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements;” the Company evaluated the errors
and has determined that the related impacts were not material to any prior 8-K and 10-Q reports, but that correcting the cumulative impact
of such errors would be significant to our statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Accordingly, the Company
has corrected such immaterial errors by adjusting its prior financial statements and classified all Public Subunits as temporary equity.
The Company will also correct previously reported financial information for such immaterial errors in future filings, as applicable. The
following summarizes the effect of the revision on each financial statement line item.
Impact
of the Revision
The impact
of the revision on the audited balance sheet as of March 15, 2021 and unaudited interim condensed financial statements as of and for the

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which
include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating
results for the period for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
through December 31, 2021.
The accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form
8-K and the final prospectus filed by the Company with the SEC on March 19, 2021 and March 12, 2021, respectively.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (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 auditor 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.
8
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 unaudited condensed financial
statement in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statement. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments
with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company has $ 803,506 of cash held outside
of the Trust Account as of June 30, 2021 and no cash held outside of the Trust Account as of December 31, 2020. The Company did not have
any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
At June 30, 2021, the Company had $ 133,003,878
in the Trust Account which may be utilized for Business Combination. As of June 30, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were invested
in Treasury Securities consisting of money market funds.
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. 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.
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.
The fair value of the
Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents,
prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and due to related party are estimated to approximate the carrying values as
of June 30, 2021 due to the short maturities of such instruments.
The Company’s warrant
liability is based on a valuation model utilizing management judgment and pricing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with
less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material
change in fair value. The fair value of the warrant liability is classified as Level 3. See Note 7 for additional information on assets
and liabilities measured at fair value.
9
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal
Depository Insurance Coverage of $ 250,000 . At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has not experienced losses on this account
and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject
to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured
at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including 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, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common
stock feature certain redemption rights that is considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence
of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity,
outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
Net Income (Loss)
Per Common Share
The Company complies
with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The statements of operations include a presentation of
income (loss) per redeemable public share and income (loss) per founder non-redeemable share following the two-class method of income
(loss) per share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the public redeemable shares and founder non-redeemable
shares, the Company first considered the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares. This is calculated using the total net
income (loss) less any dividends paid. For purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share, any remeasurement of the accretion to
redemption value of the common stock subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders. Subsequent
to calculating the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares, the Company split the amount to be allocated using a ratio of 76 %
for the public shares and 24 % for the founder non-redeemable shares for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and a ratio of 68 %
for the public shares and 32 % for the founder non-redeemable shares for the six months ended June 30, 2021, reflective of the respective
participation rights.
The earnings per share
presented in the condensed statements of operations is based on the following:

In connection with the
underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on March 19, 2021, 325,000 Founder Shares were no longer
subject to forfeiture. These shares were excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding until they were no longer
subject to forfeiture.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities
and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the Company’s earnings.
As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the periods presented.
10
Offering Costs associated with the Initial
Public Offering
The Company complies with the requirements of
the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A - “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs
consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO and were
charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. Accordingly, as of March 15, 2021, offering costs in the aggregate
of $ 2,825,347 have been charged to stockholders’ equity (consisting of $ 2,400,000 of underwriting discount and $ 425,347 of other
offering costs).
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”. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued at each
reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified
on 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. The Company has determined the warrants are a derivative instrument.
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 statements 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.
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 June 30, 2021, respectively. 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.
The Company’s deferred tax assets were deemed
to be de minimis as of June 30, 2021.
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, cash flows and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date
of the condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
11
Recently Adopted Accounting
Standards
In August 2020, the FASB
issued ASU 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.
The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for scope exception, and it
simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021.
Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 4 — Initial Public Offering
Pursuant
to the IPO on March 15, 2021, the Company sold 12,000,000 Public Units at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Public Unit. Each Public Unit
consists of (i) one Public Subunit, which consists of one Public Share and one-quarter of one Public Warrant, and (ii) one-quarter of
one Public Warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $ 11.50 per share. Each
whole warrant will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of an initial Business Combination and will expire on the fifth anniversary
of the completion of an initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
On March
19, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 1,300,000 Public Units, at a purchase price of $ 10.00
per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $ 13,000,000 .
Following the closing of the IPO on March 15,
2021 and the underwriters’ partial exercise of over-allotment option on March 19, 2021, $ 133,000,000 from the net proceeds of the
sale of the Public Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Units was placed in the Trust Account. The funds held in Trust Account
is and will be invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment
Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under
the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, so that the Company is not deemed to be an
investment company under the Investment Company Act.
Note 5 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the
Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital purchased an aggregate of 390,000 Private Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement
(the “Private Placement”), generating gross proceeds of $ 3,900,000 .
On March 19, 2021, simultaneous with the exercise
of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital purchased an aggregate of 26,000 additional Private Units, at a purchase
price of $ 10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $ 260,000 .
The Private Units (and underlying Private Subunits,
Private Shares, and Private Warrants) are identical to the Public Units except that the Private Warrants included in the Private Units:
(i) will not be redeemable by the Company and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, so long as they are held by the initial
purchasers or any of their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or any
of their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis
as the Public Warrants.
The Company’s initial stockholders have
agreed (A) to vote the Private Shares contained in the Private Subunits in favor of any proposed Business Combination, (B) not to convert
any Private Subunits in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial Business Combination or sell any Private Shares
to the Company in a tender offer in connection with a proposed initial Business Combination and (C) that the Private Subunits shall not
participate in any liquidating distribution from the Trust Account upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. In the
event of a liquidation prior to the initial Business Combination, the Private Units will likely be worthless.
12
Note 6 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On January 4, 2021, the Sponsor paid $ 25,000 ,
or approximately $ 0.009 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 2,875,000 shares of common stock, par value $ 0.0001
(the “Founder Shares”). Up to 375,000 Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which
the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised. On March 10, 2021, the Company effected a stock dividend of 0.2 shares for
each founder share outstanding, resulting in an aggregate of 3,450,000 founder shares outstanding and held by the Sponsor and the Company’s
directors (up to 450,000 of which are subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised
in full). On March 19, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 1,300,000 Public Units. As a result,
125,000 founder shares were forfeited as of June 30, 2021.
On the date of the IPO, the Founder Shares were placed
into an escrow account maintained in New York, New York by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as escrow agent. Subject
to certain limited exceptions, these shares will not be transferred, assigned, sold or released from escrow (subject to certain limited
exceptions) for a period ending on (1) with respect to 50% of the founder shares, the earlier of one year after the date of the consummation
of the Company’s initial Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the Company’s shares of common stock
equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any
20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after Company’s initial Business Combination and (2) with respect to
the remaining 50% of the founder shares, one year after the date of Company’s consummation of the initial Business Combination,
or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to the initial Business Combination, the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange
or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash,
securities or other property.
Due to Related Party
The balance of $ 10,000 represents the amount accrued
for the administrative support services provided by affiliate of the Chief Executive Officer.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On January 4, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan
the Company up to $ 300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO (the “Promissory Note”). These loans were non-interest
bearing, unsecured and were due at the earlier of March 31, 2021 or the closing of the IPO.
On February 1, 2021, the Sponsor funded to the
Company $ 100,000 pursuant to the Promissory Note. On February 10, 2021, the Sponsor funded to the Company an additional $ 25,000 pursuant
to the Promissory Note, for an aggregate amount of $ 125,000 . On March 15, 2021, the Promissory Note in an aggregate amount of $ 125,000
was fully repaid by the Company to the Sponsor.
Related Party Loans
In order to meet the working capital needs following
the consummation of the IPO if the funds not held in the Trust Account are insufficient, the Sponsor, initial stockholders, officers,
directors and their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount
they deem reasonable in their sole discretion (“Working Capital Loans”). Each Working Capital Loan would be evidenced by a
promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the holder’s
discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the notes may be converted into units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would consist of (i) one
subunit, which consists of one share of common stock and one-quarter of one warrant, and (ii) one-quarter of one warrant, where the common
stock and warrants would be identical to the common stock and warrants included in the Private Units. In the event that the initial Business
Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts,
but no other proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. At June 30, 2021, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
13
Administrative Service Fee
Commencing on the Effective Date of the registration
statement through the acquisition of a target business, the Company will pay an affiliate of the Chief Executive Officer, an aggregate
fee of $ 10,000 per month for providing the Company with office space and certain office and secretarial services. As of June 30, 2021,
the Company has recorded $ 37,097 for the period from March 10, 2021 through June 30, 2021.
Note 7 — Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents information about
the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and indicates the

The estimated fair value
of the warrant liability on March 15, 2021 and June 30, 2021 is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte-Carlo simulation
model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility (pre-merger and post-merger), expected term, dividend yield
and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on management’s understanding of the
volatility associated with instruments of other similar entities. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity
similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is simulated based on management assumptions
regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the
Company anticipates to remain at zero. The assumptions used in calculating the estimated fair values represent the Company’s best
estimate. However, inherent uncertainties are involved. If factors or assumptions change, the estimated fair values could be materially
different.

Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares and Representative
Shares (as defined below) issued and outstanding on the date of the IPO, as well as the holders of the Private Units and any units the
Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates may be issued in payment of Working Capital Loans made to the Company (and all underlying
securities), will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to an agreement signed on March 10, 2021. The holders of a majority of these
securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company use its best efforts to register such securities. The holders of the
majority of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on
which these shares of common stock are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Representative Shares, Private Units
and units issued to the Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates in payment of Working Capital Loans made to the Company (or underlying
securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, EarlyBirdCapital may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on March
10, 2021. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed
subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination; provided, however, that EarlyBirdCapital may participate in a “piggy-back”
registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the registration statement. The Company will bear the
expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriters Agreement
EarlyBirdCapital and I-Bankers Securities, Inc.
(the “Underwriters”) have a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 1,800,000 Public Units
to cover over-allotments, if any. The Underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds
of the IPO, or $ 2,400,000 (or up to $ 2,760,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment is exercised in full). On March 15, 2021, the
Company paid, in aggregate, a fixed underwriting discount of $ 2,400,000 .
On March 19, 2021, the Underwriters partially
exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 1,300,000 Public Units and were, in aggregate, paid a fixed underwriting discount of $ 260,000 .
EarlyBirdCapital will have the right of first
refusal for a period commencing from the consummation of the IPO until the consummation of the initial Business Combination (or the liquidation
of the Trust Account in the event that the Company fails to consummate the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period)
to act as book running manager, placement agent and/or arranger for all financings where the Company seeks to raise equity, equity-linked,
debt or mezzanine financings relating to or in connection with the initial Business Combination.
In addition, under certain circumstances EarlyBirdCapital
will be granted, for a period of one year from the closing of the IPO, the right to act as lead underwriter for the next U.S. registered
public offering of securities, undertaken by any of the Company’s officers, for the purpose of raising capital and placing 90 % or
more of the proceeds in a trust or escrow account to be used to acquire one or more operating businesses in the technology industry that
have not been identified at the time of the IPO.
Business Combination Marketing Agreement
The Company has engaged EarlyBirdCapital as an
advisor in connection with the Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss the potential
Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing
the Company’s securities in connection with the initial Business Combination, assist the Company in obtaining stockholder approval
for the Business Combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination.
The Company will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of its initial Business Combination in an amount
equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable); provided
that up to 30% of the fee may be allocated at the Company’s sole discretion to other FINRA members (including, with EarlyBirdCapital’s
prior consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, companies affiliated with the Company or its officers or directors) that assist
the Company in identifying or consummating an initial Business Combination.
Representative Shares
On January 13, 2021, the Company has issued to
EarlyBirdCapital and its designees an aggregate of 350,000 representative shares at $ 0.0001 per share (the “Representative Shares”).
On March 10, 2021, the Company effected a stock dividend of 0.2 shares of common stock for every share of common stock outstanding, resulting
in an additional 70,000 representative shares issued to EarlyBirdCapital for no consideration and an aggregate of 420,000 representative
shares outstanding. The holders of the Representative Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares without the Company’s
prior consent until the completion of the initial Business Combination. In addition, the holders of the Representative Shares have agreed
(i) to waive their conversion rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such shares in connection with the
completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with
respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The Representative Shares have been deemed compensation
by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following March 10, 2021 pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1)
of the FINRA Manual. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), these securities will not be sold during the IPO, or sold, transferred, assigned,
pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic
disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the March 10, 2021 or commencement of sales
of the IPO, except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the IPO and their bona fide officers or partners, provided
that all securities so transferred remain subject to the lock-up restriction above for the remainder of the time period.

Note 9 — Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock — The
Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock at par value of $ 0.0001 per share. As of June 30, 2021, there were
no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Common Stock — The Company
is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. At June 30, 2021, there were 4,161,000
shares of common stock issued and outstanding, excluding 13,300,000 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption.
Public Warrants
Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion
of an initial Business Combination. The warrants will expire on the fifth anniversary of the completion of an initial Business Combination,
at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
However, no warrants will be exercisable for cash
unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the
warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement
covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 90 days following the consummation
of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any
period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant
to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another
exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. In such event, each holder would
pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing
(x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price
of the warrants and the “fair market value”(defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value”
for this purpose will mean the average reported last sale price of the shares of common stock for the 5 trading days ending on the trading
day prior to the date of exercise.
The Company may call the warrants for redemption
(excluding the Private Warrants and any warrants underlying additional units issued to the Sponsor, initial stockholders, officers, directors
or their affiliates in payment of Working Capital Loans made to the Company), in whole and not in part, at a price of $ 0.01 per warrant,
●
at any time after the warrants become exercisable,
●
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder,
●
If, and only if, the reported last sale price of the shares of common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations), for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period commencing after the warrants become exercisable and ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders; and
●
if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such warrants.
In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional
shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business
Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share (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, initial stockholders
or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by them prior to such issuance), (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 initial
Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) 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 greater
of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the price at which the Company issues the additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities,
and the $ 18.00 redemption trigger price will be adjusted to 180 % of this amount.
Note 10 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions
that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements was issued. The Company did
not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
References to the “Company,” “Archimedes
Tech SPAC Partners Co.” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Archimedes Tech SPAC Partners Co. The following
discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion
and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections
about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that
may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels
of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,”
“plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of
such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to,
those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.
Overview
We were formed on September 15, 2020 for
the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar
business combination with one or more target businesses. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to
a particular industry or geographic region, though we intend to focus our search on a business operating in the technology industry. We
intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of this offering, our securities, debt or a combination of cash, securities and debt,
in effecting a business combination.
All activity through June 30, 2021 relates to
our formation, IPO, which was consummated on March 15, 2021, and search for a prospective initial business combination target.
Results of Operations
As of June 30, 2021, we have not commenced any
operations. All activity for the period from September 15, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2021 relates to our formation, IPO and, after
our IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion
of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds
derived from the IPO and placed in the Trust Account.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had
a net loss of $70,540, which was comprised of operating costs of $150,901, interest income of $3,353 from marketable securities held in
our Trust Account, and unrealized gain on change in fair value of warrants of $77,008.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had
a net loss of $154,573, which was comprised of operating costs of $232,342, interest income of $3,878 from marketable securities held
in our Trust Account, and unrealized gain on change in fair value of warrants of $73,891.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 15, 2021, we consummated the IPO of 12,000,000
Public Units at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $120,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO,
we consummated the sale of 390,000 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital,
generating gross proceeds of $3,900,000.
On March
19, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 1,300,000 Public Units, at a purchase price of $10.00
per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $13,000,000. In connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment
option, we also consummated the sale of an additional 26,000 Private Units at $10.00 per Private Unit to the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital,
generating gross proceeds of $260,000.
17
Following the closing of the IPO on March 15,
2021 and the underwriters’ partial exercise of over-allotment option on March 19, 2021, $133,000,000 from the net proceeds of the
sale of the Public Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Units was placed in the Trust Account and the remaining net proceeds was
deposited in our operating bank account.
As of June 30, 2021, we had $803,506 in our operating
bank account for our working capital needs.
Prior to the completion of the IPO, our liquidity
needs had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 for the founder shares, and the loan under an unsecured promissory
note from the Sponsor of $125,000. We fully paid the note to the Sponsor on March 15, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO
and Private Placement, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not
held in the Trust Account.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs
in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor, initial stockholders, officers, directors and their affiliates may, but are not
obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans. To date, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that
we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business
Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying
and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying
for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business
Combination.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial
statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the
reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have identified the following
as our critical accounting policies:
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject
to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured
at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including 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, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common
stock feature certain redemption rights that is considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence
of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity,
outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for each of the periods. The calculation of diluted loss per common
share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) IPO, (ii) exercise of overallotment and (iii) Private
Placement since the exercise price of the warrants is higher than the market price. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 6,858,000
shares of common stock in the aggregate.
18
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any off-balance
sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk
As of June 30, 2021, we were not subject to any
market or interest rate risk. The net proceeds held in the Trust Account have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or
bonds with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in certain money market funds that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due to the short-term
nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls
and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
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 June 30, 2021. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, during the period covered by this report, our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective and, accordingly, provided reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by
us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter,
we have enhanced in our internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for the Private Warrants through adoption of liability
accounting for our Private Warrants as well as the retention of third-party professionals to provide quarterly warrant valuation analysis. As
a result, we believe the material weakness in internal controls disclosed in the Form 10-Q for the three-month ended March 31, 2021 has
been addressed. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, except as previously noted, that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
19
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 are any of the risks described in our final prospectus for our IPO filed with the
SEC on March 12, 2021. Any of these 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, other than as described below, there have been no material changes
to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus for our IPO filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On March 15, 2021, the Company consummated its
IPO of 12,000,000 Public Units. Each Public Unit consists of i) one Public Subunit, which consists of one Public Share and one-quarter
of one Public Warrant and ii) one-quarter of one Public Warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one
share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for $11.50 per share. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating
gross proceeds to the Company of $120,000,000. The Company paid the underwriters, in aggregate, a fixed underwriting discount of $2,400,000.
The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 1,800,000 Public Units to
cover over-allotments.
On March 15, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation
of the IPO, the Company completed the Private Placement of an aggregate of 390,000 Private Units to the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital at
a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $3,900,000.
On March 19, 2021, the underwriters partially
exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 1,300,000 Public Units. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating
gross proceeds to the Company of $13,000,000. The Company paid the underwriters, in aggregate, a fixed underwriting discount of $260,000.
Simultaneously with the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company completed the Private Placement of an aggregate of 26,000 Private
Units to the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of
$260,000.
As of June 30, 2021, a total of $133,003,878 was
held in the Trust Account, $133,000,000 of which is the proceeds from the IPO and Private Placement and $3,878 of which was interest income
generated by the proceeds in Trust.
For a description of the use of the proceeds generated
in our IPO, see Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report.
