4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under
the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms,
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and
Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In
connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as of June 30, 2023, an evaluation was performed under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)under the Exchange Act). Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2023,
our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due solely to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting related to the accounting of complex financial instruments due to the errors related to the classification of our warrants
and Class A ordinary shares. In addition, in the second quarter of 2022, the Company did not originally account for and classify convertible
promissory notes, accrued expenses and accounts payable, and foreign exchange transactions properly. To respond to this material weakness,
we have devoted, and plan to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of our internal
control over financial reporting. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we
plan to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that apply to our unaudited condensed financial statements,
including through enhanced analyses by our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting
applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives
will ultimately have the intended effects. Accordingly, management believes that the condensed financial statements included in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for
the periods presented.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter of the fiscal year covered by this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
