Overview
We
are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange,
asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate
our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Placement Warrants that occurred simultaneously
with the closing of the IPO, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. We have until July 29, 2023 to complete
a Business Combination as described below.
On
July 12, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”)
with Chijet Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Chijet”), each of the referenced holders of Chijet’s outstanding
shares (collectively, the “Sellers”), Chijet Motor Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chijet (“Pubco”),
and Chijet Motor (USA) Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”). Chijet indirectly holds an over
85% interest in Shandong Baoya New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd., a Chinese company (“Baoya”), which is a producer and manufacturer
of electric vehicles. In addition, Chijet indirectly holds an over 64% interest in FAW Jilin Automobile Co., Ltd., a Chinese company
(“FAW Jilin”), which manufactures and sells traditional fuel vehicles. On September 6, 2022, the Business Combination Agreement
was amended to extend the due diligence period until and ended on September 20, 2022, which was subsequently extended to September 30,
2022 pursuant to the second amendment of the Business Combination Agreement, dated September 16, 2022. On September 26, 2022, the Company
terminated the Business Combination Agreement and the Company is not obligated to pay any penalties pursuant to the terms of the Business
Combination Agreement as a result of the termination.
On
December 23, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders in lieu of an annual meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”).
At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business
Combination from January 29, 2023 to July 29, 2023 (the “Combination Period”), or such earlier date as determined by the
Company’s board of directors and (ii) provide for the right of a holder of Class B common stock of the Company to convert into
Class A common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of an initial Business Combination. Subsequently, the
Charter Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and stockholders holding all of the issued and outstanding
Class B common stock of the Company elected to convert their Class B common stock into Class A common stock of the Company on a one-for-one
basis. The Combination Period is extended to July 29, 2023, provided that an additional amount of $50,000 will be deposited into the
Trust Account for each month after January 29, 2023. In addition,3,162,500 shares of Class B common stock of the Company were cancelled,
and 3,162,500 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued to such converting Class B stockholders. The 3,162,500 shares of Class A common
stock issued pursuant to the conversion are subject to the same restrictions applicable to the Class B common stock before the conversion,
including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial
Business Combination as described in the prospectus for our IPO. Additionally, stockholders holding 11,819,790 shares of the Company’s
Class A common stock (“Public Shares”) exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in
the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $121,034,650 (approximately $10.24 per share) was removed from the Company’s Trust
Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company had 830,210 Public Shares outstanding.

We
intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the private placement of the Private
Placement Units, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial Business Combination (including pursuant to forward
purchase agreements or backstop agreements we entered into following the consummation of the IPO or otherwise), shares issued to the
owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.
The
issuance of additional shares in connection with an initial Business Combination to the owners of the target or other investors:
●
may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in the IPO;
●
may subordinate the rights of holders of our common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our common
stock;
●
could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock is issued, which may affect, among other things,
our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers
and directors;
●
may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person
seeking to obtain control of us; and
●
may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock and/or rights.
Similarly,
if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or the owners of a target, it could result in:
●
default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt
obligations;
●
acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain
covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
●
our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;
●
our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such
financing while the debt security is outstanding;
●
our inability to pay dividends on our common stock;
●
using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends
on our common stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund other general corporate
purposes;
●
limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;
●
increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government
regulation;
●
limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements,
and execution of our strategy; and
●
other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.
We
expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial Business Combination plans. We cannot assure you that our
plans to raise capital or to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.

Results
of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events
We
have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational
activities and those necessary to prepare for the IPO and since the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination and
activities in connection with the proposed business combination with Chijet, which was terminated on September 26, 2022. We do not generate
any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We have been generating non-operating income in the
form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents after the IPO. Subsequent to the Company’s special meeting of stockholders
held on December 23, 2022, stockholders holding 11,819,790 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion
of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $121,034,650 (approximately $10.24 per share) was removed from the Company’s
Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company had 830,210 Public Shares outstanding.
After
the IPO, we incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance),
as well as expenses as we conduct due diligence related to a Business Combination. Our expenses increases substantially after the closing
of the IPO.
For
the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, we had a net income of $577,351 and $257,372, respectively, which consisted of operating
costs of $415,358 and $1,402,914, respectively, income taxes of $68,415 and $68,415, respectively, offset by interest earned on marketable
securities held in the Trust Account of $1,061,124 and $1,728,701, respectively.
For
the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $135,423 and $230,696, respectively, due solely to the operating
costs.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company had cash of $962,177 on its balance sheet, including $754,873 distributed from the Trust Account for the tax payments, as of
December 31, 2022, and $877,099 in cash as of March 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company had total current
liabilities of $ current liabilities of $2,369,573 and $536,712, respectively, and total current assets of $10,008,855 and $128,953,272,
respectively. As of December 31, 2022, we had working capital deficit of $1,325,763, a decrease of working capital of $1,981,456 as compared
to March 31, 2022, primarily as a result of a decrease in cash and prepaid expenses and an increase in total current liabilities. The
significant increase in accrued expenses as of December 31, 2022 was in connection with the due diligence on Chijet. In addition, on
October 15, 2022, the Company issued the Sponsor Affiliate Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1,265,000 to the Sponsor Affiliates
in connection with the extension of the Initial Combination Period from October 29, 2022 to January 29, 2023. Due to the stockholders’
redemption in December 2022 (as described below), cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account decreased to $8,965,045 as of
December 31, 2022 compared to $127,760,867 as of March 31, 2022. Subsequent to the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held
on December 23, 2022, stockholders holding 11,819,790 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion
of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $121,034,650 (approximately $10.24 per share) was removed from the Company’s
Trust Account to pay such holders.
We
expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of a Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete
the Business Combination will be successful.
For
the nine months ended December 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities amounted to $669,795, mainly due to the unrealized income
earned on investment held in the Trust Account in amount of $1,728,701, and the decrease in accrued expenses to related parties by $15,000,
offset by the net income of $257,372, the decrease in prepaid expenses by $233,673 and the increase in accrued expenses and taxes payable
by $514,446 and $68,415, respectively. Comparatively, cash of $597,770 used in operating activities during the nine months ended December
31, 2021 was due to the net loss of $230,696, plus the increase in prepaid expenses by $339,030 and the decrease in accrued expenses
to related parties and accrued expenses by $25,000 and $862, respectively.
Cash
flow of $510,127 used in investing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 was due to the distribution from the Trust
Account in amount of $754,873 for taxes payments, offset by the investment of $1,265,000 in the Trust Account to extend the Initial Combination
Period from October 29, 2022 to January 29, 2023. Cash flow of $127,765,000 used in investing activities during the nine months ended
December 31, 2021 was due to the investment of cash in the Trust Account.
18
Cash
flow of $1,265,000 provided by financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 was due to the proceeds from related
parties’ loans totaled $1,265,000 in connection with the extension of the Initial Combination Period from October 29, 2022 to January
29, 2023. In addition, subsequent to the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held on December 23, 2022, stockholders holding
11,819,790 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust
Account. As a result, $121,034,650 (approximately $10.24 per share) was removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders.
Cash flow of $128,839,900 from financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 was due primary to the proceeds from
the sale of Units at the closing of the Company’s IPO in amount of $126,500,000, net of underwriting discounts of $2,530,000, the
proceeds from the sale of Private Placement Units in amount of $5,195,000, offset by the payment to the offering costs of $325,000 and
the repayment of $100 to due to related party.
As
of December 31, 2022, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $8,965,045, after the $121,034,650 (approximately
$10.24 per share) was removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay the redeeming holders, substantially all of which has been
invested in U.S. treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less. Interest income earned on the balance in the Trust Account may be
available to us to pay taxes. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing
interest earned on the Trust Account to complete our initial Business Combination. In December 2022, we withdrew interest of $754,873
to pay franchise and income taxes. We estimate our annual franchise tax obligations, based on the number of shares of our common stock
authorized and outstanding after the completion of the IPO, to be $200,000, which is the maximum amount of annual franchise taxes payable
by us as a Delaware corporation per annum, which we may pay from funds from the IPO held outside of the Trust Account or from interest
earned on the funds held in our Trust Account and released to us for this purpose. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the
amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. We expect the interest earned on the amount in the
Trust Account will be sufficient to pay our income taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part,
as consideration to complete our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working
capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As
of December 31, 2022, we had available cash of $962,177, including $754,873 distributed from the Trust Account for the tax payments.
We will use these funds to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses,
travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review
corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete an initial Business
Combination.
In
order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination,
our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may
be required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial Business
Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but
no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible
into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 165,000
shares of Class A common stock if $1,500,000 of notes were so converted since the 150,000 rights included in such units would result
in the issuance of 15,000 shares upon the closing of our Business Combination), at the option of the lender.
Such
units would be identical to the private placement units. The terms of such working capital loans by our sponsor or its affiliates, or
our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect
to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to
loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.
We
expect our primary liquidity requirements during that period to include approximately $400,000 for our portion of legal, accounting,
due diligence, travel and other expenses associated with structuring, negotiating and documenting successful business combinations; $50,000
for legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements; $75,000 for Nasdaq continued listing fees; $155,000 for working
capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses and reserves (including taxes net of anticipated interest income); and approximately
$20,000 as fees to our Chief Financial Officer.
These
amounts are estimates and may differ materially from our actual expenses. In addition, we could use a portion of the funds not being
placed in trust to pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business or as a
down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from “shopping”
around for transactions with other companies on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed
initial business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into an agreement where we paid for
the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop”
provision would be determined based on the terms of the specific business combination and the amount of our available funds at the time.
Our forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise) could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue
searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.
We
do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following the IPO in order to meet the expenditures required for conducting the
due diligence related to a proposed Business Combination and operating our business during this process. However, if our estimates of
the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial Business Combination, including
the proposed Business Combination, are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or we are unable to complete the proposed Business
Combination, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we
may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem
a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional
securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. In addition, we intend to target businesses larger than we could
acquire with the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the private placement units, and may as a result be required to seek additional
financing to complete such proposed initial Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only
complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial
Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the
Trust Account. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional
financing in order to meet our obligations.

Party Transactions
We
pay Weixuan Luo, our Chief Financial Officer, monthly fees of $5,000 for her services commencing on August 1, 2020. Upon completion of
our initial Business Combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. We will also issue to our officers and
directors an aggregate of 300,000 post business combination shares within 10 days following the Business Combination with the same lock-up
restrictions as the Founder Shares and same registration rights as our Founder Shares.
Our
sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business
combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers, directors or
our or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling
on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
Prior
to the consummation of the IPO, our sponsor agreed to loan us up to $500,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. These
loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due upon completion of our initial Business Combination. As of December 31, 2022 and
March 31, 2022, the loan payable to the Sponsor was $500,000.
In
addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, our sponsor or an affiliate
of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete
our initial Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial Business Combination does not close,
we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust
Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent
units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 165,000 shares of Class A common stock
if $1,500,000 of notes were so converted since the 150,000 rights included in such units would result in the issuance of 15,000 shares
upon the closing of our Business Combination), at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the private placement units.
The terms of such working capital loans by our sponsor or its affiliates, or our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined
and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an
affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all
rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.
Pursuant
to a registration rights agreement we entered into with our initial stockholders, our sponsor and I-Bankers on or prior to the closing
of the IPO, we are required to register certain securities for sale under the Securities Act. These holders, and holders of units issued
upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, are entitled under the registration rights agreement to make up to three demands that
we register certain of our securities held by them for sale under the Securities Act and to have the securities covered thereby registered
for resale pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders have the right to include their securities in other
registration statements filed by us. We will bear the costs and expenses of filing any such registration statements.
On
October 15, 2022, the Company issued the Sponsor Affiliate Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1,265,000 to the Sponsor Affiliates,
in connection with the extension of the Initial Combination Period from October 29, 2022 to January 29, 2023. The Sponsor Affiliate Notes
bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business
Combination, or (b) the date of the liquidation of the Company.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations; Quarterly Results
As
of December 31, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not
have any commitments or contractual obligations. No unaudited quarterly operating data is included in this prospectus, as we have conducted
no operations to date.
20
Factors
That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations
Our
results of operations and our ability to complete a Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause
economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by,
among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest
rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including
resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in Ukraine. We cannot at this
time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively
impact our business and our ability to complete Business Combination.
