+Added: As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in such Annual Report on Form 10-K,
+Added: except for the below risk factor.

−Removed: Our Warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our Warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.
−Removed: On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”).
−Removed: Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on warrants that have certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers or warrants which do not meet the criteria to be considered indexed to an entity’s own stock, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing our Warrants.
−Removed: As a result of the SEC Statement, we reevaluated the accounting treatment of our 6,000,000 Public Warrants and 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants, and determined that the Warrants should be reclassified as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.
−Removed: As a result, included on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q are derivative
−Removed: liabilities related to embedded features contained within our Warrants.
−Removed: Accounting Standards Codification 815-40, “Derivatives and
−Removed: Hedging —Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity”, provides for the remeasurement of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a resulting non-cash gain or
−Removed: loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statement of operations.
−Removed: As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly, based on factors, which are outside of our control.
−Removed: Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or
−Removed: losses on our Warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.
−Removed: We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
−Removed: Following issuance of the SEC Staff Statement on April 12, 2021, and after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, our management and our audit committee concluded that, in light of the SEC Statement, it was appropriate to restate our previously issued audited balance sheet as of March 18, 2021, which we filed with the SEC on Form 8-K on March 24, 2021, to account for the warrants as liabilities measured at fair value, rather than equity securities (the “Restatement”).
−Removed: See “—Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” As a result of these events, which led to the Restatement, we have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Additionally, our management re-evaluated our application of ASC 480-10-S99-3A to our accounting classification of public shares.
−Removed: After consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, our management and our audit committee concluded that it was appropriate to restate our previously issued Restated Balance Sheet and unaudited interim financial statements included in our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2021 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on May 28, 2021 and August 16, 2021, respectively.
−Removed: As part of such process, we identified an additional material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
−Removed: Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud.
−Removed: We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weakness.
−Removed: If we identify any new material weakness in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements.
−Removed: In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and the price of our securities may decline as a result.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.
+Added: Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination, and results of operations.
+Added: We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments.
+Added: In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements.
+Added: Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly.
+Added: Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations.
+Added: In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination, and results of operations.
+Added: On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules relating to, among other items, enhancing disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies and increasing the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions.
+Added: These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in revised form, may materially increase the costs and time required to negotiate and complete an initial business combination and could potentially impair our ability to complete an initial business combination.
