ANDI ACQU : REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM - Form 8-K

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Zapata Computing, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zapata Computing, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, convertible preferred stock and stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Substantial Doubt About the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. Nature of the Business

Zapata Computing, Inc. ("Zapata" or "Company"), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on November 2, 2017, and is located in Boston, Massachusetts. Zapata has wholly owned subsidiaries located in Canada, Spain, Japan, the United Kingdom as well as Delaware based Zapata Government Services and Massachusetts based Zapata Security Corporation. The Company offers customers Industrial Generative Artificial Intelligence ("AI") Solutions (as defined below) designed to solve computationally complex problems. These are subscription-based solutions that combine software and services to develop custom industrial generative AI applications. Zapata's software leverages a broad spectrum of computing resources, including classical, high performance, and quantum computing hardware and, in developing and applying its software tools to specific applications, Zapata uses techniques inspired by quantum physics that can then be applied to the appropriate hardware.

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties similar to those of other companies of similar size in its industry, including, but not limited to, the need for successful development of products, competition from substitute products and services from larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, patent litigation, dependence on key individuals, risks associated with changes in information technology, and the ability to raise additional capital to fund operations. The Company's long-term success is dependent upon its ability to successfully market, deliver, and scale its Industrial Generative AI Solutions, increase revenue, meet its obligations, obtain additional capital when needed and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations.

Through the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from sales of Convertible Preferred Stock and issuances of Convertible Notes, each as defined below. The Company has incurred net losses of $29,734 and $23,448 for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $89,526 and $59,792, respectively. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to identify future debt or equity financing and generate profits from its operations. The Company is pursuing all available options for funding, which include seeking public or private investments and funding through its Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC ("Lincoln Park") (see Note 16). There can be no assurance that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of the Company and its wholly- owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").

ZAPATA COMPUTING, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and share amounts)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected within these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the valuation of the Company's common stock, Convertible Preferred Stock, and stock-based awards. The Company's estimates are based on historical information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates or assumptions.

Foreign Currency and Currency Translation

The functional currency for the Company's wholly owned foreign subsidiaries in Canada, Japan, Spain and the United Kingdom is USD, Japanese Yen, Euro and British Pound, respectively. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars ("USD") at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during the period. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as a translation adjustment, which is included in the consolidated statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders' deficit as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Adjustments that arise from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local currency are included in other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at high-quality and accredited financial institutions.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally requires no collateral to secure accounts receivable. Accounts receivable is presented after consideration of an allowance for credit losses, which is an estimate of amounts that may not be collectible. In determining the amount of the allowance at each reporting date, the Company makes judgments about general economic conditions, historical write-off experience and any specific risks identified in customer collection matters, including the aging of unpaid accounts receivable and changes in customer financial conditions. Account balances are written off after all means of collection are exhausted and the potential for recovery is determined to not be probable. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded zero allowance for credit losses.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company's accounts receivable was from three main customers, representing approximately 43%, 31% and 26% of the Company's total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2022, the Company's accounts receivable was from three main customers, representing approximately 37%, 35% and 21% of the Company's total accounts receivable.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had four customers that represented greater than 10% of the Company's total revenue and revenue recognized from these customers represented approximately 35%, 26%, 20% and 17% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had four customers that represented greater than 10% of the Company's total revenue, and revenue recognized from these customers represented approximately 30%, 27%, 19% and 15% of total revenue.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of initial purchase to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the amount of cash equivalents included in cash and cash equivalents totaled $2,693 and $9,763, respectively.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash on deposit to secure a letter of credit totaling $137 as of December 31, 2023, and 2022 that is required to be maintained in connection with the Company's lease arrangements. The letter of credit is expected to be renewed until the lease expiration in 2024. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company classified its restricted cash as non-current asset on the consolidated balance sheet based on the release date of the restrictions.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows:

		December 31,
		2023			2022
Cash and cash equivalents		$	3,332			$	10,073
Restricted cash			137				137
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash		$	3,469			$	10,210

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred transaction costs consist of direct legal, accounting and other fees and costs directly attributable to the Company's Merger, as defined below, with Andretti Acquisition Corp. ("AAC") (see Notes 15 and 16). The Company capitalized deferred transaction costs prior to the close of the Merger, which are included in deferred offering costs within the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. The Company will reclassify the deferred transaction costs related to the Merger to additional paid-in capital to offset the proceeds received upon the closing (the "Closing") of the merger with Andretti Acquisition Corp. (the "Merger"). The deferred transaction costs were $1,943 as of December 31, 2023.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

ZAPATA COMPUTING, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and share amounts)

The Company's cash equivalents are carried at fair value in Level 1, determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 3). The carrying values of the Company's accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company's Senior Notes (see Note 6) are carried at fair value, determined according to level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy described above.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows:

		Estimated Useful Life
Computer equipment		3 years
Furniture and fixtures		5 years
Leasehold improvements		Shorter of remaining lease term or useful life

Costs for capital assets not yet placed into service are capitalized and are depreciated once placed into service. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in loss from operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment. Long-lived assets to be held and used are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized in loss from operations when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset group are less than its carrying amount. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment loss to be recognized is measured based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset group over its fair value.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses on long-lived assets.

Leases

Effective on January 1, 2022, the Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases ("ASC 842"). In accordance with ASC 842, the Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company classifies leases at the lease commencement date, when control of the underlying asset is transferred from the lessor to the lessee, as operating or finance leases and records a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a lease liability on the consolidated balance sheets for all leases with a lease term of greater than twelve months. For all asset classes, the Company has elected to not recognize leases with a lease term of twelve months or less on the balance sheet and will recognize lease payments for such short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis.

The Company enters into contracts that contain both lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components are items or activities that transfer a good or service to the lessee, and may include items such as maintenance, utilities, or other operating costs. Upon its adoption of ASC 842, the Company elected to account for the lease and associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all existing classes of underlying assets. Variable costs associated with leases, such as utilities or maintenance costs, are not included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities, but rather are expensed when the event determining the amount of variable consideration to be paid occurs.

ZAPATA COMPUTING, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and share amounts)

Finance and operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term and are measured using the discount rate implicit in the lease if readily determinable. If the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based upon the available information at the lease commencement date. The Company's incremental borrowing rate reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow the amount of lease payments in the same currency on a collateralized basis, for a similar term in a similar economic environment. ROU assets are further adjusted for items such as initial direct costs, prepaid rent, or lease incentives. Operating lease payments are expensed using the straight-line method as an operating expense over the lease term. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Convertible Notes

The Company performed an analysis of all of the terms and features of the Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Notes, (collectively, the "Convertible Notes"). The Company elected the Fair Value Option to account for the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes were remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date until they were converted to Senior Secured Notes (see Note 9). Changes in the fair value of the Senior Notes were recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company elected the option of combining interest expense and the change in fair value as a single line item within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Differences between the fair value of the Senior Notes and the proceeds received were presented within other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company accounts for the Senior Secured Notes at amortized cost, as they were issued at a substantial premium and do not qualify for the Fair Value Option. The Company concluded that the optional conversion features were not required to be bifurcated and separately accounted for as a derivative. Costs related to the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes are recorded as a debt discount and amortized over the term of the Senior Secured Notes and are recorded in other income (expense), net within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss using the effective interest method.

Segment Information

The Company manages its business as a single operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company's chief executive officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, reviews the Company's financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company does not have material long-term assets outside the U.S.

Classification of Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company has classified its Convertible Preferred Stock outside of stockholders' deficit on the Company's consolidated balance sheets because the holders of such stock have redemption features and certain liquidation rights in the event of a deemed liquidation that, in certain situations, are not solely within the control of the Company and would require the redemption of the then-outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock.

Capitalization of Software Development Costs

The Company incurred software development costs related to development of its quantum computing platform. Given that the Company may sell the platform both as a service as well as a license, the Company evaluates software development costs to determine the point where technological feasibility is established. The Company has determined that technological feasibility is typically concurrently with the release, and therefore there have not been significant costs capitalized through December 31, 2023. Costs incurred in connection with maintenance and customer support are also expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring goods or services promised in a contract to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Performance obligations in contracts represent distinct or separate goods or services that the Company provides to customers.

The Company recognizes revenue using the following steps: 1) identification of the contract, or contracts with a customer, 2) identification of performance obligations in the contract, 3) determination of the transaction price, 4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and 5) recognition of revenue when or as the Company satisfies the performance obligations.

At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct.

The Company currently earns revenue primarily from subscriptions to its software platform, referred to as the Orquestra Platform, and services. The Company's subscriptions to its Orquestra Platform are currently offered as stand-ready access to the Company's cloud environment for access on an annual or multi-year basis. The Company's consulting services may result in either single or multiple performance obligations based on the contractual terms. The Company may also offer services in the form of stand-ready scientific and software engineering services, which are typically only offered in conjunction with the Orquestra Platform. The Company evaluates its contracts at inception to determine if the promises represent a single, combined performance obligation or multiple performance obligations. The Company allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations identified. Judgment is required to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation. The Company utilizes a stand-alone selling price methodology based on observable or estimated prices for each performance obligation. The Company considers market conditions, entity-specific factors, and information about the customer that is reasonably available to the entity when estimating stand-alone selling price for those performance obligations without an observable selling price. The Company's contracts do not contain rights of return, and any variable consideration as the result of service level agreements has been immaterial. The Company does not have other contractual terms that give rise to variable consideration.

Revenue from subscriptions to the Company's Orquestra Platform to date have only been sold as access to the platform in its hosted environment and are therefore recognized over the contract term on a ratable basis, as the promise represents a stand-ready performance obligation.

Revenue from consulting services is generally recognized over time. The Company's contracts typically contain fixed-fee transaction prices. The Company determines and records a provision for loss contracts at the contract level when the current estimate of total costs of the contract at completion exceeds the total consideration the Company expects to receive. The Company has not recorded any provision for loss contracts at December 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

For consulting services, the Company measures progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation as the services are provided, and revenue is generally recognized based on the labor hours expended over time. Through this method, the Company recognizes revenue based on the actual labor hours incurred to date compared to the current estimate of total labors hours to satisfy the performance obligation. The Company believes this method best reflects the transfer of control to the customer. This method requires periodic updates to the total estimated hours to complete the contract, and these updates may include subjective assessments and judgments. The Company had limited contracts for which, based on the Company's determination of the enforceability of payment terms, revenue was recognized at a point in time when payment became enforceable.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and share amounts)

Revenue from services sold in the form of stand-ready scientific and software engineering services are recognized over the contract term on a ratable basis, as the obligation represents a stand-ready obligation.

The Company's payment terms vary by contract and do not contain significant financing components. Amounts collected in advance of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company's balances resulting from contracts with customers include the following:

Contract Acquisition Costs-The Company incurs and pays commissions at the commencement of the contract. The period of the related revenue stream is typically less than one year in duration, and as such, the Company applies the practical expedient to expense the costs in the period in which they were incurred.

The Company capitalizes contract acquisition costs for contracts where the period of the related revenue stream exceeds one year. As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, capitalized contract acquisition costs of $38, $281, and $84, respectively, were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and zero, $142, and zero were included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets, respectively. There was $75 and $275 of amortization of contract acquisition costs recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Accounts Receivable-Accounts receivable represents amounts billed or unbilled to customers that have yet to be collected and represents an unconditional right to receive this consideration from its customers. Account balances are written off against the allowance in the period in which the Company determines that is it probable that the receivable will not be recovered. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company had zero allowance for doubtful accounts.

Deferred Revenue-Deferred revenue represents payments received for which revenue has not yet been recognized.

Balances from contracts with customers for the year ended December 31, 2023, consist of the following:

		End of Year			Beginning of Year
Accounts receivable		$	1,341			$	600
Unbilled accounts receivable			597				827
Deferred revenue			744				500

All deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022 was recognized as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in deferred revenue is due to increased customer billings for revenue not yet delivered for consulting services and subscriptions relating to timing of satisfaction of the Company's performance obligations.

Balances from contracts with customers for the year ended December 31, 2022, consist of the following:

		End of Year			Beginning of Year
Accounts receivable		$	600			$	938
Unbilled accounts receivable			827				33
Deferred revenue			500				821

All deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 was recognized as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022. All revenue from contracts with customers was generated in the U.S. and was recognized over time during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes expenses related to supporting product offerings. The Company's primary cost of revenue is personnel costs, including salaries and other personnel-related expense. Cost of revenue also includes costs relating to the Company's information technology and systems, including depreciation, network costs, data center maintenance, database management and data processing costs. The Company allocates these overhead expenses based on headcount, and thus these expenses are reflected in cost of revenue and each operating expense category.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of expenses and overhead costs incurred in developing new products. The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Advertising expenses, which are included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, primarily include promotional expenditures, and are expensed as incurred. The amount incurred for advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 was immaterial.

In addition, sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including salaries and wages, benefits, commissions, bonuses and stock-based compensation expense for the Company's employees engaged in sales and sales support, business development, marketing, corporate partnerships, and customer service functions. Sales and marketing expenses also include costs incurred for market research, tradeshows, branding, marketing, promotional expense, and public relations, as well as facilities and other supporting overhead costs, including depreciation and amortization.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and other related costs, for personnel and consultants in the Company's executive and finance functions. General and administrative expenses also include professional fees for legal, finance, accounting, intellectual property, auditing, tax and consulting services, travel expenses and facility-related expenses, which include allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and other operating costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses or sales and marketing expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures all stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and non-employees based on the fair value of the awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company measures restricted stock awards using the difference, if any, between the purchase price per share of the award and the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant.

The Company grants stock options and restricted stock awards that are subject to service-based vesting conditions. Compensation expense for awards to employees and directors with service-based vesting conditions is recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. Compensation expense for awards to non-employees with service-based vesting conditions is recognized in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash in exchange for the goods or services, which is generally over the vesting period of the award. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the same manner in which the award recipient's payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipient's service payments are classified.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss includes net loss as well as other changes in stockholders' deficit that result from transactions and economic events other than those with stockholders. The comprehensive loss for the Company equals its net loss plus changes in foreign currency translation for all periods presented.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or in the Company's tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent it believes, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to income tax expense. Potential for recovery of deferred tax assets is evaluated by estimating the future taxable profits expected and considering prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the consolidated financial statements by applying a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination by the taxing authorities. If the tax position is deemed more likely than not to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the consolidated financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of any resulting tax reserves, or unrecognized tax benefits, that are considered appropriate as well as the related net interest and penalties. The Company had accrued no amounts for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Emerging Growth Company

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Following the completion of the Merger on March 28, 2024 (see Note 16), the Company qualified as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). Pursuant to the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by FASB or the SEC either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies. The Company intends to take advantage of the exemption for complying with new or revised accounting standards within the same time periods as private companies, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public and nonpublic companies, the Company will adopt the new or revised standard at the time nonpublic companies adopt the new or revised standard and will do so until such time that the Company either (i) irrevocably elects to "opt out" of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company. As a result, the Company's financial statements may not be comparable to those public companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. The Company may choose to early adopt any new or revised accounting standards whenever such early adoption is permitted for nonpublic companies.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASU 2016-13"), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 became effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06,Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815 - 40) ("ASU 2020-06"). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity's own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB's simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in GAAP. The ASU's amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2020-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires all public entities, including public entities with a single reportable segment, to provide in interim and annual periods one or more measures of segment profit or loss used by the chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. Additionally, the standard requires disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items as well as incremental qualitative disclosures. The guidance in this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on its related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires enhanced income tax disclosures, including specific categories and disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. The requirements of the ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its related disclosures.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present the Company's fair value hierarchy for its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level within the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Assets:
Cash equivalents:
Money market mutual funds		$	9,763			$	-			$	-			$	9,763
		$9,763			$-			$-			$9,763

Money market funds were valued by the Company based on quoted market prices in active markets, which represent a Level 1 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company's Senior Notes were revalued at each remeasurement date prior to extinguishment (see Note 6), using inputs that are generally unobservable and reflect management's estimates of assumptions that market participants would have used in pricing the liability, which represented Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

The following table presents the change in fair value of the Senior Notes for the year ended December 31, 2023:

		Amounts
Balance as of December 31, 2022		$	-
Proceeds from issuance of Senior Notes			5,625
Change in fair value of Senior Notes			1,260
Extinguishment of Senior Notes			(6,885	)
Balance as of December 31, 2023		$	-

The Senior Notes were recorded at fair value upon issuance, equal to the cash proceeds received on the issuance date of the Senior Notes. The loss on extinguishment of the Senior Notes was calculated as the fair value of the Senior Notes immediately after the extinguishment less the fair value of the Senior Notes immediately before the extinguishment, and is recorded within other income (expense), net on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

The fair value of the Senior Notes was based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represented a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company's valuation of the Senior Notes utilized a probability weighted method with a scenario-based valuation analysis, which incorporated assumptions and estimates to value the Senior Notes and the probability and estimated timing of the conversion or repayment of the Senior Notes. The Company assessed these assumptions and estimates at issuance, on a quarterly basis, and at the date of extinguishment of the Senior Notes, December 15, 2023.

The following table presents the assumptions and estimates incorporated into the valuation of the Senior Notes at the initial issuance date and the date of extinguishment of December 15, 2023:

6. Debt

Senior Notes

On June 13, 2023, the Company entered into a senior note purchase agreement with and issued senior promissory notes to certain lenders. Under the agreements, the Company was permitted to issue convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes accrued interest at a rate of 20.0% per annum, had a maturity date of June 13, 2024, and could be extended one year from the maturity date at the option of the Company. There were no principal or interest payments due until maturity. On the maturity date, one-fourth of the accrued unpaid interest of the Senior Notes would be payable by the Company in shares of common stock of the Company.

The Company was permitted to prepay the Senior Notes and any accrued interest prior to the maturity date. Upon notice of a prepayment by the Company, each noteholder had the option to (in lieu of receiving the prepayment) convert the portion of their respective note subject to prepayment into shares of common stock of the Company at a price per share equal to the fair market value on the date notice of the prepayment is provided.

ZAPATA COMPUTING, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and share amounts)

Upon a change of control of the Company prior to the maturity date, each noteholder had the option to receive consideration equal to the amount that the noteholder would have received as though their respective note was converted into Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B-2 Preferred Stock") effective immediately prior to the change of control. The consideration received would be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest and any principal of each noteholder's respective note by (ii) the lesser of 0.85 times the original issue price of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and $250,000 divided by the Company's aggregate outstanding shares of common stock on the conversion date (the "Capped Price").

In the event that the Company completed an equity financing prior to the maturity date in which it sold and issued shares of the Company's equity securities with gross proceeds exceeding $6,000, each noteholder had the option to convert any accrued and unpaid interest and outstanding principal of their respective note into shares of the newly issued equity securities at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) 0.85 times the price per share to be paid by the investors in the equity financing and (ii) the Capped Price. Additionally, if the Company consummated an initial public offering ("IPO") before the maturity date, each Senior Note would automatically convert into shares of common stock equal to the quotient of (i) the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest and any principal of such noteholder's convertible note outstanding by (ii) the IPO conversion price, which is equal to the lesser of 0.85 times the price per share to be paid by the investors in the IPO and the Capped Price.

In the event of a private investment in public equity ("PIPE") contemporaneously and in connection with the completion of a business combination between the Company and a special purpose acquisition company (a "De-SPAC Transaction"), while the Senior Notes remain outstanding, the Company would cause the special purpose acquisition company to agree in writing with each noteholder to permit its convertible note to be surrendered and exchanged at the closing of the PIPE for shares of capital stock of the surviving company ("Pubco") at the lesser of (i) 0.85 times the price per share to be paid by the PIPE subscribers and (ii) the Capped Price. In the event the De-SPAC Transaction does not include a PIPE, while the Convertible Notes remain outstanding, the Company would cause the special purpose acquisition company to enter into a written agreement with each noteholder to permit its Senior Note to be surrendered and exchanged at the closing of the De-SPAC Transaction for shares of capital stock of Pubco at the lesser of (i) 0.85 times the price per share to be paid by the investors in the special purpose acquisition company's IPO and (ii) the Capped Price.

Senior Secured Notes

On December 15, 2023, the Company entered into a Security Agreement and Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement (collectively, the "Senior Secured Notes Agreements") with new and existing noteholders. Under the Senior Secured Notes Agreements, the Company was authorized to issue convertible notes (the "Senior Secured Notes") in an aggregate principal amount of up to $14,375 and offered to exchange its outstanding Senior Notes for Senior Secured Notes. The Senior Secured Notes accrue interest at a compound rate of 15.0% per annum and mature on December 15, 2026. The Senior Secured Notes Agreements allowed existing noteholders the option to surrender their existing Senior Notes in exchange for Senior Secured Notes of an equal aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. All existing holders of Senior Notes exercised this option. The total principal and accrued interest of Senior Notes exchanged amounted to $5,625 and $557, respectively. The Company determined that the exchange is a debt extinguishment, and recorded a loss on the Senior Notes of $6,864, which was calculated as the fair value of the Senior Notes immediately after the exchange less their fair value immediately before the exchange. The loss on extinguishment of the Senior Notes was recorded within other income (expense), net within the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had issued Senior Secured Notes with an aggregate principal value of $9,057, comprised of $6,182 from the conversion of the Senior Notes and $2,875 of newly issued Senior Secured Notes. The Senior Secured Notes were issued at a substantial premium. Accordingly, the Company accounted for the Senior Secured Notes under the amortized cost model. The premium associated with the Senior Secured Notes, which was recorded as a loss on the issuance date of $11,086 was recorded within other income (expense) and as additional paid-in capital.

ZAPATA COMPUTING, INC.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and share amounts)

From the issuance date of the Senior Secured Notes through December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $63 in interest expense, which is recorded in other income (expense), net within the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Senior Secured Notes were $157 and were accounted for as a discount.

If upon such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or deemed liquidation event, the assets of the Company available for distribution to it stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full. After such distributions have been made, the remaining assets available for distribution shall be distributed among the common stockholders on a pro rata basis based upon the number of shares held by each common stockholder.

Conversion-Each share of Series Seed Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock, and Series B-2 Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock based on a conversion price of $2.516, $4.5187, $5.2676, and $5.0042 per share, respectively, adjustable for certain dilutive events.

Stock Option Valuation

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value option grants on the date of grant and to determine the related compensation expense. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent management's best estimations. The Company bases its expected volatility on the volatilities of certain publicly-traded peer companies. Management believes that the historical volatility of the Company's stock price does not best represent the expected volatility of the stock price. The Company is a privately-held company and therefore lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the stock options granted. The Company uses the simplified method (an expected term based on the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term) to calculate the expected term for awards that qualify as "plain-vanilla" options as it does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term for options granted to employees. The expected dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's history and expectation of dividend payouts.

In determining the exercise prices for options granted, the Company has considered the fair value of the common stock as of the measurement date. The fair value of the common stock has been determined by management with consideration to a third-party valuation, which contemplates a broad range of factors, including the illiquid nature of the investment in the Company's common stock, the Company's historical financial performance and financial position, the Company's future prospects and opportunity for liquidity events, and recent sale and offer prices of common and Convertible Preferred Stock, if any, in private transactions negotiated at arm's length.

The following table presents, on a weighted-average basis, the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted:

		Year Ended December 31,
		2023		2022
Fair value per share of underlying common stock		$3.39		$5.26
Risk-free interest rate		4.19% - 4.23%		1.61% - 2.95%
Expected term (in years)		5.31 - 6.02		5.74 - 6.08
Expected volatility		48.99% - 49.59%		47.94% - 49.25%
Expected dividend yield		0%		0%

All stock options granted have time-based vesting conditions and vest over a four-year period. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 was $1.70 and $2.58 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, there was $1,341 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. The Company expects to recognize the unrecognized compensation amount over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.74 years.

Restricted Common Stock

The Company may grant nonvested restricted common stock to employees, directors, and consultants with or without cash consideration. These grants contain certain restrictions on the sale of the shares. Nonvested restricted common stock are not considered issued or outstanding for accounting purposes until they vest. Upon termination of the relationship with a holder of such shares, the Company has the right to repurchase the nonvested restricted common stock shares at the price paid by the holder or, if there was no consideration, a price per share defined in the agreement.

The nonvested restricted common stock were issued during the year ended December 31, 2017, at the then current fair value. Amounts paid for nonvested restricted common stock is recorded as a liability until such shares vest. During the year ended December 31, 2022, all of the unvested restricted shares outstanding became fully vested. There was no nonvested restricted common stock at December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2023.

A reconciliation of the Company's statutory income tax rate to the Company's effective income tax rate for each reporting period is as follows:

		December 31,
		2023			2022
Income at U.S. statutory rate		$	(6,272	)		$	(4,822	)

Permanent differences			2,600				98
Tax credits			(166	)			(214	)
Other			60				(366	)
Total provision for income taxes		$	20			$	53

The provision for income taxes differs from the expense that would result from applying statutory rates to income before income taxes. The differences primarily result from changes in valuation allowance.

Deferred income taxes reflect impact of carryforwards and temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. The carryforwards and temporary differences, which give rise to a significant portion of the Company's deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, are as follows:

		Year Ended December 31,
		2023			2022
Deferred tax assets:
Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards		$	15,264			$	11,940
Research and development credits			551				331

Net deferred tax assets (liabilities)		$	-			$	-

As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company is in a net deferred tax asset position before valuation allowance. The future realization of the tax benefits from existing temporary differences and tax attributes ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient future taxable income. In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers projected future taxable income, scheduled reversal of existing deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, and determined that it is more likely than not that the Company's net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The change in the valuation allowance for years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was an increase of $4,289 and $6,085, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and share amounts)

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards totaling $62,138, which are available to reduce the Company's future taxes and have an unlimited carryforward period. The Company had an immaterial amount of net operating losses generated prior to 2018 that expire in 2037. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards totaling $37,692. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had federal research and development tax credits of $345 and $186, respectively that generally expire at various dates through 2038. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had state research and development tax credits of $261 and $184 that generally expire at various dates through 2038.

The future realization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be limited by the change in ownership rules under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 382"). Under Section 382, if a corporation undergoes an ownership change (as defined), the corporation's ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes to offset income may be limited. The Company has not completed a study to assess whether a change of ownership has occurred, or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since its formation. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards or research and development credit carryforward before utilization.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and in various state and foreign jurisdictions in which it operates and is therefore subject to tax examination by various taxing authorities. Since the Company is in a loss carryforward position, the Company is generally subject to examination by the U.S. federal, foreign, state and local income tax authorities for all tax years in which a loss carryforward is available. The Company is currently not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction for any tax years. The Company has not recorded any interest or penalties on any unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions recognized in the consolidated financial statements following a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit will more likely than not be realized. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2023, no interest or penalties have been accrued.

12. Retirement Plan

The Company maintains a defined-contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "401(k) Plan"). The Company's 401(k) Plan covers all eligible employees and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis. Employees of the Company may participate in the 401(k) plan immediately upon hiring, as there are no age or service requirements. The Company does not match employee contributions.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

License and Collaboration Agreements

During 2018, the Company entered into an exclusive patent license agreement (the "license agreement"), with a term that continued unless terminated by the Company or the licensor. The license agreement contained annual license maintenance fee payments, milestone payments, as well as payments based on a percentage of net sales. Under the license agreement, the Company issued shares of its common stock to the licensor representing four percent of the Company's capital stock on a fully diluted basis.

ZAPATA COMPUTING, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and share amounts)

The license agreement obligated the Company to pay fixed annual license maintenance fees of $100 for the year ended December 31, 2022, and $100 per year thereafter until the Company or the licensor terminates the license.

The license agreement obligated the Company to pay fixed milestone payments upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds. The payments total $150, and the maximum sales threshold is $25,000. The Company did not trigger any payments to the licensor during the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022.

The license agreement obligated the Company to pay a royalty calculated as two percent of net sales. The license agreement also requires the Company to make payments related to any sublicensing agreements, with varying amounts based on the type of sublicense. The Company paid zero in royalties during the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022. On February 10, 2023, the Company terminated the license agreement by written notice to the licensor. Subsequent to the termination of the license agreement, all licensing rights held by the Company were forfeited to the licensor. The Company did not owe any accrued obligations or payments to the licensor after the license agreement was terminated.

Andretti Agreements

On February 10, 2022, the Company entered into a sponsorship agreement for marketing services to be provided by Andretti Autosport Holding Company, LLC (f/k/a Andretti Autosport Holding Company, Inc., "Andretti Global"). The total commitment under the sponsorship agreement is $8,000 and is due and payable over the period of February 2022 through July 2024. Through December 31, 2023, the Company has paid $3,500 under the agreement and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $2,783 and $2,435 respectively, in sales and marketing expense related to the sponsorship agreement. There was $1,500 included in accounts payable as of December 31, 2023 related to the sponsorship agreement. The remaining commitment of $3,000 will be due and payable from January to July 2024.

Advisory Agreement

On September 13, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party for advisory services to be provided in connection with a merger or similar transactions. Pursuant to the agreement, in the event of a merger with a special purpose acquisition company in which gross cash raised in the merger is below $40,000 the Company is obligated to pay the third party a cash fee of $750 at the closing date of such transaction and cause to be issued to the third party common stock of the special purpose acquisition company in an amount equal to $500. In March 2024, the payment terms were amended to provide for a cash fee of $1,250, to be paid by the issuance of a Senior Secured Note with a principal amount of $1,000 and the remaining $250 in six monthly installments in cash of $42 per month commencing on May 15, 2024. The Senior Secured Note issued to the third party has the same terms as the Senior Secured Notes issued to other noteholders. Additionally, in the event of an offering of securities by the Company, the third party is entitled to a cash placement fee equal to 5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by each purchaser of securities sold to investors introduced to the Company by the third party.

14. Net Loss per Share

The Company applies the two-class method when computing net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders as the Company has issued shares that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net income (loss) per share for each class of common and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to share in the undistributed earnings as if all income (loss) for the period had been distributed. The Company considers its Convertible Preferred Stock to be participating securities as in the event a dividend is paid on common stock, the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive dividends on a basis consistent with the common stockholders. There is no allocation required under the two-class method during periods of loss since the participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company.

ZAPATA COMPUTING, INC.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and share amounts)

Basic net loss per share available to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share available to common shareholders was computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. For purposes of this calculation, Convertible Preferred Stock and outstanding stock options to purchase common shares were considered common stock equivalents but had been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share available to common shareholders as their effect was anti-dilutive. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss available to common shareholders, diluted net loss per share available to common shareholders is the same as basic net loss per share available to common shareholders, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company reported net loss available to common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022.

The following table sets forth the computation of net loss per common share:

		Year Ended December 31,
		2023			2022

Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted		$	(5.82	)		$	(4.68	)

The Company excluded the following potential common shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

		Year Ended December 31,
		2023			2022
Convertible preferred stock (as converted to common stock)			14,222,580				14,222,580

Entrance into Business Combination Agreement

On September 6, 2023, the Company entered into a business combination agreement with Andretti Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability ("AAC") and Tigre Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of AAC ("Merger Sub") to effectuate a business combination between AAC and the Company. Pursuant to the proposed terms in the business combination agreement, immediately prior to the Closing of the Merger, AAC will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by migrating out of the Cayman Islands and domesticating as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to Zapata Computing Holdings Inc. At the effective time of the business combination, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of AAC. The parent company following completion of the business combination is referred to as the "Surviving Company".

Subject to the terms of the business combination agreement, the existing shareholders of the Company will receive new shares of the combined company (the "New Company Common Stock") and AAC holders of common stock will exchange their securities of AAC for shares of New Company Common Stock in the Domestication (as defined below). At the effective time of the Merger, the existing stockholders of the Company will be entitled to receive shares of New Company Common Stock and all holders of options to purchase shares of Zapata common stock will be entitled to receive options to purchase New Company Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Zapata option holders immediately prior to the effective time. The aggregate value of the consideration that holders of Zapata securities collectively shall be entitled to receive in the Merger shall not exceed $200,000, with each share of New Company Common Stock valued at $10.00 per share. In addition, the holders of the Senior Secured Notes may elect to exchange their notes for shares of New Company Common Stock in accordance with their terms.

One of AAC's affiliates, Andretti Global, has preexisting contractual relationships with the Company. In February 2022, Andretti Global entered into i) an enterprise solution subscription agreement and ii) a sponsorship agreement with the Company (see Note 13), both of which expire on December 31, 2024. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $1,733 and $1,534, respectively, in revenue related to the enterprise solution subscription agreement. Andretti Global also entered into a managed service agreement with the Company in October 2022. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $245 and zero, respectively, in revenue related to the enterprise managed service agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $2,783 and $2,435, respectively, in sales and marketing expense related to the sponsorship agreement. The Company recognizes expense for the agreement over the period of service and will recognize $2,783 for year ending December 31, 2024. The remaining committed future payments under the sponsorship agreement at December 31, 2023 include $1,500 in accounts payable at December 31, 2023 and payments of $3,000 due from January to July 2024. The Company considered that these agreements were executed prior to the business combination agreement and were not executed in contemplation of the business combination. Accordingly, Andretti Global is not considered a related party prior to the consummation of the Merger with AAC.

notes and accrued interest thereon into shares of New Company Common Stock in accordance with their terms. For accounting purposes, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization whereby the Company was treated as the accounting acquirer and AAC was treated as the acquired company. On April 1, 2024, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, the New Company Common Stock was listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and the Public Warrants were listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new trading symbols "ZPTA" and "ZPTAW," respectively.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and share amounts)

following the last day of the valuation period commencing on the Valuation Date, as described in the Forward Purchase Agreement (the "Valuation Period"), Sandia will pay the Surviving Company a cash amount equal to (A) the number of shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement as of the Valuation Date less the number of unregistered shares, multiplied by (B) the volume-weighted average price over the Valuation Period (the "Settlement Amount"); provided, that if the amount of the Settlement Amount Adjustment (as defined below) payable by the Surviving Company to Sandia is less than the Settlement Amount, then the Settlement Amount Adjustment will be automatically netted from the Settlement Amount and any remaining amount paid in cash. The Surviving Company will pay to Sandia on the Cash Settlement Payment Date an amount (the "Settlement Amount Adjustment") equal to (1) the Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date multiplied by $2.00 per share if the amount is to be paid in cash, or (2) if the Settlement Amount Adjustment exceeds the Settlement Amount, the Surviving Company may at its election pay the Settlement Amount Adjustment to Sandia in shares of New Company Common Stock, in an amount equal to the product of the Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date multiplied by $2.25; provided, that in certain circumstances as described in the Forward Purchase Agreement, including if a Delisting Event (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement) occurs during the Valuation Period, such amount must be paid in cash.

In addition, during the term of the agreement, Sandia may elect to terminate the transaction in whole or in part by providing a written notice to the Surviving Company, which will specify the quantity by which the number of shares will be reduced (the "Terminated Shares"). The Surviving Company shall be entitled to an amount from the third party, equal to the product of (x) the number of Terminated Shares and (y) the Reset Price (as defined below) on the date of notice.

As of the Closing of the Merger, the reset price (the "Reset Price") is $10.00 per share and will be subject to reset on a monthly basis (each a "Reset Date"), with the first such Reset Date occurring 180 days after the closing date of the Merger to be greater of (a) $4.50 and (b) the 30-day volume weighted average price of shares of New Company Common Stock immediately preceding such Reset Date. Except as described below, the Reset Price will be reduced immediately to any lower price at which the Counterparty closes any agreement to sell or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any shares of New Company Common Stock or securities of the Surviving Company or any of its subsidiaries convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, shares of New Company Common Stock or other securities (a "Dilutive Offering and, such reset, a Dilutive Offering Reset").

In the event of a Dilutive Offering Reset, the Maximum Number of Shares will be increased to an amount equal to the quotient of (i) 1,500,000 divided by (ii) the quotient of (a) the price of such Dilutive Offering divided by (b) $10.00. In such event, Sandia has the right to purchase more Additional Shares, up to the Maximum Number of Shares, for which the Surviving Company will be required to provide a cash prepayment to Sandia netted against the purchase price for such shares, and such Additional Shares will be subject to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement.

In addition, the Surviving Company reimbursed Sandia $60 at the Closing for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for costs incurred in connection with the transaction, and (b) $50 in expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Recycled Shares. The Surviving Company will also pay to the third party a quarterly fee of $5 payable at the Closing of the Merger in consideration of certain legal and administrative obligations in connection with this transaction.
