NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Aura Fat Projects Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on December 6, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target. The Company will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region in its identification and acquisition of a target company.

As of May 31, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from December 6, 2021 (inception) through May 31, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected November 30 as its fiscal year end.

The Company’s sponsor is Aura FAT Projects Capital LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on April 12, 2022. On April 18, 2022, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units (“Units”), which includes the exercise of the over-allotment option in full of 1,500,000 Units, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private sale of 5,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Aura FAT Projects Capital LLC generating gross proceeds to the Company in the amount of $5,000,000.

Transaction costs amounted to $5,724,785 consisting of $1,150,000 of underwriting fees paid in cash, $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable (which are held in a trust account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”)), and $549,785 of costs related to the Initial Public Offering. Cash of $677 was held outside of the Trust Account on May 31, 2024 and was available for working capital purposes. As described in Note 6, the $4,025,000 deferred underwriting fees are contingent upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will complete the initial Business Combination only if the post-Business Combination company in which its public shareholders own shares will own or acquire 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or is otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, an amount of $117,300,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and may only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), 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. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations and up to $100,000 of interest that may be used for its dissolution expenses, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or certain amendments to the memorandum and articles of association prior thereto or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or as extended by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association) (the “Combination Period”) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, and (c) the redemption of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of its public shareholders.

The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require the Company to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or share exchange listing requirements.

The public shareholders are entitled to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be $10.20 per public share, however, there is no guarantee that investors will receive $10.20 per share upon redemption.

The shares of ordinary share subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are not classified as a “penny stock” upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

The Company will have only 15 months (or up to a 21-month if the Company chooses to extend such period, as described in more detail in the final prospectus, or as extended by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to consummate the initial Business Combination. On July 17, 2023, the Company held a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) where its shareholders approved the proposal (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”) to authorize the Company to enter into Amendment No. 1 to the Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement Amendment”) to amend the Trust Agreement to allow the Company to extend beyond July 18, 2023 the date by which the Company must have completed its initial business combination. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement Amendment, the Company has the right to extend beyond July 18, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) by up to 12, 1-month extensions through July 18, 2024 (each of the 12, 1-month extensions, an “Extension”, and each such extended date a “Deadline Date”) the date by which the Company must consummate the initial Business Combination and the Sponsor will deposit into the Trust Account the lesser of (x) $50,000 or (y) $0.045 per share for each Public Share outstanding as of the applicable Deadline Date for each one-month extension (the “Extension Payment”) (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). 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, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above to the Company’s obligations under the laws of Cayman Islands to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. At the Special Meeting, shareholders also approved the NTA Amendment to remove from the existing charter the following limitations: (i) that the Company will only redeem offering shares so long as (after such redemption), the Company’s net tangible assets (“NTA”) will be at least $5,000,001 or any greater NTA or cash requirement that may be contained in the agreement relating to an initial business combination and after payment of the underwriters’ fees and commission (the “Redemption Limitation”), (ii) that the Company shall not redeem offering shares in connection with the consummation of a business combination if the Redemption Limitation is exceeded, and (iii) that the Company shall not consummate a business combination pursuant to a tender offer if the Redemption Limitation is exceeded (the “NTA Proposal”). In connection with the voting on the NTA Proposal, the Extension Amendment Proposal, and the Trust Amendment Proposal at the Special Meeting, holders of 8,708,304 shares of Class A ordinary shares exercised the right to redeem such shares for a payment of $92,514,424 or approximately $10.62 per share.

The Sponsor, officers and directors will enter into a letter agreement with Company, pursuant to which they will agree to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public shares held by them in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association prior thereto or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period for each three month extension, into the Trust Account, or as extended by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association), or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any founder shares held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period although the Company will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

On December 11, 2023, the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that since the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities was less than $50 million, the Company was no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market continued listing criteria set forth in Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), which requires the Company to maintain a Market Value of Listed Securities of at least $50 million (the “MVLS Notice”). The MVLS Notice additionally indicates that the Company, pursuant to the Listing Rules, has a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which it can regain compliance. Further, the MVLS Notice states that, if at any time during the compliance period the Company closes at $50 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

On each of December 15, 2023, January 17, 2024, February 14, 2024, March 14, 2024, April 19, 2024 and May 17, 2024, the Company deposited $50,000 into the Company’s Trust Account for its public shareholders, allowing the Company to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination by six additional months from December 18, 2023 to June 18, 2024.

As of the date of these financial statements, the Company had deposited an aggregate of $50,000 allowing the Company to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination by one additional month from June 18, 2024 to July 18, 2024 (see Note 9).

Going Concern Consideration

As of May 31, 2024, the Company had $677 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of $2,259,145.

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

The Company expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans and will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination. The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, the Company will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs as well as complete an Initial Business Combination by July 18, 2024 then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. On July 17, 2023, the Company amended the Company governing documents to allow for twelve 1-month extensions by depositing the lesser of (x) $50,000, or (y) $0.045 per share for each public share outstanding as of the applicable Deadline Date into trust for each extension requested. Currently extension deposits have been made for extension through July 18, 2024. The liquidity condition and the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to consummate a business combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after July 18, 2024.

Business Combination Agreement

On May 7, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Allrites Holdings Pte Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares, (“Allrites”), and Meta Gold Pte. Ltd., a Singapore exempt private company limited by shares, as the representative for the shareholders of Allrites (See Note 6).

On September 14, 2023, the Company signed a convertible promissory note with the Sponsor for $1,000,000 for working capital purposes. The note is non-interest bearing and payable upon liquidation or completion of a Business Combination (see Note 5).

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 and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of this financial statement. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Additionally, as a result of the military action commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in the country of Ukraine and related economic sanctions, and other international conflicts, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. Further, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable. The unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024. The interim results for the six months ended May 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statement with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023. As of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $677 and $233,088, respectively.

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U. S. Treasury Bills. All the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. As of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Company had $31,740,998 and $30,604,459 in the Trust Account, respectively.

Offering Costs associated with an Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs of $549,784 consist principally of costs incurred in connection with formation of the Company and preparation for the Initial Public Offering. These costs, together with the underwriter discount of $5,175,000, were charged to additional paid-in capital upon completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares 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) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s unaudited balance sheets. On July 17, 2023, in connection with the voting on the NTA Proposal, the Extension Amendment Proposal, and the Trust Amendment Proposal at the Special Meeting, holders of 8,708,304 shares of Class A ordinary shares exercised the right to redeem such shares for a payment of $92,514,424 or approximately $10.62 per share.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increase or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

As of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Class A ordinary shares reflected on the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

Extension funds attributable to common stock subject to redemption		300,000
Accretion of carrying value to redemption value		836,539
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, May 31, 2024	$	31,740,998

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC Topic 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’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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 considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net Income per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary share outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The calculation of diluted income per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 16,500,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. For the respective periods ending May 31, 2024 and May 31, 2023, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income per ordinary share is the same as basic net income per ordinary shares for the periods presented.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 11,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one redeemable warrant. Only whole warrants are exercisable. Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share.

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,000,000 warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000.

Each Private Placement Warrant is identical to the warrants offered by the Initial Public Offering, except as described below. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Private Placement Warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the placement warrants) are identical to the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering except that (a) the placement warrants and their component securities will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the consummation of our initial Business Combination, except to permitted transferees, and (b) will be entitled to registration rights.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On January 7, 2022, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”). Up to 375,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised. The Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture due to full exercise of the over-allotment by the underwriter.

The Company’s initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares (or ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earlier to occur of: (A) 180 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) the date on which the Company complete a liquidation, merger, capital share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Lock-up”). Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Company’s initial shareholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the converted Class A ordinary shares will be released from the Lock-up if (i) the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and other transactions) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (ii) if the Company completes a transaction after the initial Business Combination which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property.

Administrative Services Fee

The Company pays an affiliate of the Sponsor $20,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support and to reimburse the Sponsor for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, and completing an initial Business Combination commencing on the filing of the initial draft registration statement, which was January 27, 2022. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2024, the Company incurred $30,000 and $120,000 respectively, in fees for these services. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2023, the Company has incurred $60,000 and $120,000 respectively, in fees for these services. As of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Company owed $240,000 and $120,000 respectively, in administrative services fees payable.

Allrites Note Receivable

On October 31, 2023, the Company issued a convertible note to Allrites of $100,000 (the “Note Receivable”) to be used for a working capital. This loan is interest bearing at 5% and will convert at the time of a business combination. As of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the amount receivable was $102,850 and $100,342, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s balance sheets.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the consummation of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in this prospectus and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (excluding the Private Placement Warrants and underlying securities and the representative shares) plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination or any private placement-equivalent units and their underlying securities issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of Working Capital Loans made to the Company). The term “equity-linked securities” refers to any debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Class A ordinary shares issued in a financing transaction in connection with the initial Business Combination, including but not limited to a private placement of equity or debt. Securities could be “deemed issued” for purposes of the conversion rate adjustment if such shares are issuable upon the conversion or exercise of convertible securities, warrants or similar securities. Any conversion of Class B ordinary shares described herein will take effect as a compulsory redemption of Class B ordinary shares and an issuance of Class A ordinary shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law. In no event will the Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one-to-one.

Warrants — Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issue additional Class A ordinary shares 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 Class A ordinary 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 or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A ordinary share during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummate the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 12 months from closing of the Initial Public Offering and the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company is not registering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. However, the Company has agreed the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective within 60 business days following the initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing 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 will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

	●	in whole and not in part;

	●	at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

	●	upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption given after the warrants become exercisable (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

	●	if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing once the warrants become exercisable and ending 3 business days before the Company send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If holders of Private Placement Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price, by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary share for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

Representative Shares

The Company issued to the representative or its designees 115,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. These shares are referred to as the “representative shares”. The holders of the representative shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such ordinary shares until the completion of the initial Business Combination.

In addition, the holders of the representative’s shares have agreed (i) that they will not transfer, assign or sell any such shares without the Company’s prior consent until the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) to waive their redemption 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 (iii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. The representative’s shares are deemed to be underwriters’ compensation by FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

	Level 1:	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

	Level 2:	Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

	Level 3:	Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

At May 31, 2024, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $1,835 in cash and $31,738,019 in U.S. Treasury securities. During the six months ended May 31, 2024, the Company did not withdraw any amount from interest income from the Trust Account.

At November 30, 2023, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $1,055 in cash and $30,603,404 in U.S. Treasury securities. During the year ended November 30, 2023, the Company withdrew an amount of $92,514,424 of interest income from the Trust Account in connection with redemption.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:


Description	Level	May 31, 2024		Level	November 30, 2023

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on December 6, 2021 formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

On July 17, 2023, the board held a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) where our shareholders approved the proposal (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”) to authorize the Company to enter into Amendment No. 1 to the Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement Amendment”) to amend the Trust Agreement to allow the Company to extend beyond July 18, 2023 the date by which the Company must have completed its initial business combination. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement Amendment, the Company has the right to extend beyond July 18, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) by up to 12, 1-month extensions through July 18, 2024 (each of the 12, 1-month extensions, an “Extension”, and each such extended date a “Deadline Date”) the date by which the Company must consummate the initial Business Combination and the Sponsor will deposit into the Trust Account the lesser of (x) $50,000 or (y) $0.045 per share for each Public Share outstanding as of the applicable Deadline Date for each one-month extension (the “Extension Payment”) (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). Pursuant to the Extension Amendment Proposal, as of May 31, 2024, we deposited an aggregate amount of $400,000 into the Trust account as part of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth of 12 1-month extensions to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from July 18, 2023 to March 18, 2024. On June 18, 2024, the Company caused to be deposited $50,000 into the Company’s trust account for its public shareholders, allowing the Company to extend the date by which the Company may consummate an initial business combination by one month from June 18, 2024 to July 18, 2024.

At the Special Meeting, shareholders also approved the NTA Amendment to remove from the existing charter the following limitations: (i) that the Company will only redeem offering shares so long as (after such redemption), the Company’s net tangible assets (“NTA”) will be at least $5,000,001 or any greater NTA or cash requirement that may be contained in the agreement relating to an initial business combination and after payment of the underwriters’ fees and commission (the “Redemption Limitation”), (ii) that the Company shall not redeem offering shares in connection with the consummation of a business combination if the Redemption Limitation is exceeded, and (iii) that the Company shall not consummate a business combination pursuant to a tender offer if the Redemption Limitation is exceeded (the “NTA Proposal”). In connection with the voting on the NTA Proposal, the Extension Amendment Proposal, and the Trust Amendment Proposal at the Special Meeting, holders of 8,708,304 shares of Class A ordinary shares exercised the right to redeem such shares for a payment of $92,514,424 or approximately $10.62 per share.

Advances from Related Party

Business Combination Agreement

On May 7, 2023, we, entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Allrites Holdings Pte Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares, (“Allrites”), and Meta Gold Pte. Ltd., a Singapore exempt private company limited by shares, in its capacity as the representative for the shareholders of Allrites. The transactions contemplated by the Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination.”

Allrites Share Recapitalization

Exchange Consideration

As additional consideration for the Business Combination, subject to certain conditions, if Allrites’ recurring revenue recognized solely from the sale of products and services to its contracted subscription customer base in accordance with GAAP measured for each of the first two fiscal years following Closing (each, an “Earnout Period”) exceeds the thresholds of $12,000,000 for the first Earnout Period and $20,000,000 for the second Earnout Period, the Company will issue to the Allrites shareholders: (i) in connection with the first Earnout Period, if earned and payable, 800,000 Company Class A Ordinary Shares, valued at $10.00 per share, for an aggregate value of $8,000,000; and (ii) in connection with the second Earnout Period, if earned and payable, 1,000,000 Company Class A Ordinary Shares, valued at $10.00 per share, for an aggregate value of $10,000,000. If the recurring revenue for the first Earnout Period fails to meet or exceed the Earnout Threshold but the recurring revenue for the second Earnout Period meets or exceeds the Earnout Threshold for the second Earnout Period, AFAR shall issue to the Company Shareholders both the First Earnout and the Second Earnout.

Termination and Break-Up Fee

The Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing by either the Company or Allrites if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to July 18, 2024 (the “Business Combination Deadline”) unless the Company, at its election, receives shareholder approval for a charter amendment to extend the term it has to consummate a business combination (“Extension Option”), for an additional six months for the Company to consummate a business combination pursuant to the charter amendment. A party is not entitled to terminate the Agreement if the failure of the Closing to occur by such date was caused by or the result of a breach of the Agreement by such party.

Subscription Agreements

Share Exchange Agreement

The foregoing description of the Share Exchange Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the form of Share Exchange Agreement.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from December 6, 2021 (inception) through May 31, 2024 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended May 31, 2024, we had a net income of $218,246, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $415,424, interest earned on note receivable of $916 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $18,760, offset by operating costs of $216,854.

For the six months ended May 31, 2024, we had a net income of $443,198, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $824,494 interest earned on note receivable of $2,506 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $12,045, offset by operating costs of $395,847.

For the three months ended May 31, 2023, we had a net income of $822,490, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,428,292, offset by operating and formation costs of $604,307 and an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $1,495.

For the six months ended May 31, 2023, we had a net income of $1,805,669, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,677,905, offset by operating and formation costs of $866,865 and an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $5,371.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On April 18, 2022, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, which includes the exercise of the over-allotment option in full of 1,500,000 Units, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private sale of 5,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor generating gross proceeds to the Company in the amount of $5,000,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Units, a total of $117,300,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $5,724,785 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $1,150,000 of underwriting fees and $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $549,785 of other offering costs.

For the six months ended May 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $199,677. Net income of $443,198 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $824,494 and unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the Trust account of $12,045. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $193,664 of cash for operating activities.

For the six months ended May 31, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $328,046. Net income of $1,805,669 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,677,905 and unrealized loss on marketable securities held in the Trust account of $5,371. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $538,819 of cash for operating activities.

As of May 31, 2024, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $31,740,998 (including $2,715,698 of interest income, net of unrealized losses) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our 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 May 31, 2024, we had cash of $677. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily 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 a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a 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 warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.

If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASU 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we have determined that if we are unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs as well as complete a Business Combination by July 18, 2023, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. On July 17, 2023, the Company amended the Company governing documents to allow for twelve 1-month extensions by depositing $50,000 into trust for each extension requested. Currently extension deposits have been made for extension through July 18, 2024. The liquidity condition and the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We plan to consummate a Business Combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after July 18, 2024.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of May 31, 2024. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor $20,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support and to reimburse the Sponsor for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, and completing an initial Business Combination commencing on the filing of the initial draft registration statement. We began incurring these fees on January 27, 2022 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

The underwriters will be entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, which aggregates to $4,025,000, upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of unaudited financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting policies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports 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 our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2024, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report include the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus for the Initial Public Offering. The risk factor disclosure in our final prospectus for the Initial Public Offering filed with the SEC on April 14, 2022, set forth under the heading “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” is replaced in its entirety with the following risk factor:

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.

We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we will be required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. 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. 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.

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; amending the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; effectively limiting the use of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; increasing the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in revised form, may materially adversely affect our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.

The risk factor disclosure in our final prospectus as set forth under the heading “If we pursue a target company with operations or opportunities outside of the United States for our initial business combination, we may face additional burdens in connection with investigating, agreeing to and completing such initial business combination, and if we effect such initial business combination, we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may negatively impact our operations” is replaced in its entirety with the following risk factor:

If we pursue a target company with operations or opportunities outside of the United States for our initial business combination, we may face additional burdens in connection with investigating, agreeing to and completing such initial business combination, and if we effect such initial business combination, we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may negatively impact our operations.

If we pursue a target company with operations or opportunities outside of the United States for our initial business combination, we would be subject to risks associated with cross-border business combinations, including in connection with investigating, agreeing to and completing our initial business combination, conducting due diligence in a foreign jurisdiction, having such transaction approved by any local governments, regulators or agencies and changes in the purchase price based on fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. If we effect our initial business combination with such a company, we would be subject to any special considerations or risks associated with companies operating in an international setting, including any of the following:

●

costs and difficulties inherent in managing cross-border business operations and complying with different commercial and legal requirements of overseas markets;

●

rules and regulations regarding currency redemption;

	●	complex corporate withholding taxes on individuals;

	●	laws governing the manner in which future business combinations may be effected;

	●	exchange listing and/or delisting requirements;

	●	tariffs and trade barriers;

	●	regulations related to customs and import/export matters;

	●	local or regional economic policies and market conditions;

	●	unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

	●	longer payment cycles;

	●	tax issues, such as tax law changes and variations in tax laws as compared to the United States;

	●	currency fluctuations and exchange controls;

	●	rates of inflation;

	●	challenges in collecting accounts receivable;

	●	cultural and language differences;

	●	employment regulations;

	●	underdeveloped or unpredictable legal or regulatory systems;

	●	corruption;

	●	protection of intellectual property;

	●	social unrest, crime, strikes, riots and civil disturbances;

	●	regime changes and political upheaval;

	●	terrorist attacks, natural disasters and wars;

	●	deterioration of political relations with the United States; and

	●	government appropriation of assets.

Additionally, as a result of the military action commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in the country of Ukraine and related economic sanctions, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. Further, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable.

We may not be able to adequately address these additional risks. If we were unable to do so, we may be unable to complete such initial business combination, or, if we complete such combination, our operations might suffer, either of which may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On January 7, 2022, we issued an aggregate of 2,875,000 Founder Shares to the Sponsor for an aggregate price of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share, pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such issuances. On April 18, 2022, in connection with the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, an aggregate of 375,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture, and 2,875,000 Founder Shares remain outstanding. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of our initial Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment.

On April 18, 2022, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 Units. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, and one redeemable warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The warrants will become exercisable at any time commencing on the later of April 18, 2023, 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or the date of the consummation of our initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the consummation of our initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC (“EF Hutton” is acting as the sole book-running manager and as the representative of the underwriters mentioned in the prospectus for the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-263717) (the “Registration Statement”). The SEC declared the Registration Statement effective on April 14, 2022.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,000,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and, collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Aura FAT Projects Capital LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $5,000,000. The issuances were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to the Private Placement.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except as described below. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Private Placement Warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the placement warrants) are identical to the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering except that (a) the placement warrants and their component securities will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the consummation of our initial Business Combination, except to permitted transferees, and (b) will be entitled to registration rights.

We incurred $5,724,785 of transaction costs, consisting of $1,150,000 in underwriting fees paid in cash, $4,025,000 in deferred underwriting fees, and $549,785 of other offering costs and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering.

After deducting the underwriting fees (excluding the deferred portion of $4,025,000, which amount will be payable upon consummation of our initial Business Combination, if consummated) and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the Private Placement was $118,300,215, of which $117,300,000 was placed in the Trust Account.

For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in the Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report.
