Overview




We are an early-stage blank check company incorporated on January 22, 2021 as a
Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital
stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar
business combination with one or more businesses. We are actively pursuing
discussions with potential business combination partners, and we have not yet
entered into a definitive business combination agreement with any specific
business combination target. However, our management team has engaged in
discussions with potential business combination partners in their capacity as
officers of Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. V ("Hennessy V"), and we may
pursue potential business combination partners that had previously been in
discussions with Hennessy V's management team. We intend to effectuate our
initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public
offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, our capital stock, debt
or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

The issuance of additional shares of our common or preferred stock in our initial Business Combination:

? may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in our initial public


   offering;

? may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if preferred stock is

issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock;

? could cause a change of control if a substantial number of shares of our common

stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our

net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation

or removal of our present officers and directors; and

? may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock


   and/or Public Warrants.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant indebtedness to finance our initial Business Combination, it could result in:

? default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an

initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;






                                       21

? acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all

principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that

require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a

waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

? our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the


   debt is payable on demand;

? our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains

covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt is


   outstanding;

? our inability to pay dividends on our common stock;

? using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on

our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common

stock if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other

general corporate purposes;

? limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our

business and in the industry in which we operate;

? increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and

competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

? limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital

expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our

strategy and other purposes; and

? other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.






As of September 30, 2022, we had cash of approximately $1,073,000 and working
capital of approximately $592,000. Further, we have begun to, and expect to
continue to, incur significant costs in the pursuit of an initial Business
Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete
our initial Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events





We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date.
Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities and
those necessary to prepare for and consummate our initial public offering and,
subsequent to completion of our initial public offering on October 1, 2021,
identifying and completing a suitable initial Business Combination. Following
our initial public offering, we will not generate any operating revenues until
after completion of our initial Business Combination, if at all. We currently
generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash
equivalents after our initial public offering. Since our initial public
offering, we have incurred increased expenses as a result of being a public
company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as
well as for professional and consulting fees and travel associated with
evaluating various initial Business Combination candidates, as well as costs in
connection with negotiating and executing a definitive agreement and related
agreements and proxy materials. Our expenses have, and will likely continue to,
increase substantially since the closing of our initial public offering on
October 1, 2021.



We account for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued in
connection with our initial public offering as warrant liabilities and not
equity. As a result, we are required to measure the fair value of the Warrants
when they are issued and then at the end of each reporting period and to
recognize changes in the fair value from the prior period in our operating
results for each current period. Such amounts can be material and can be either
other income or other expense. We account for all of the Class A common stock
issued in our initial public offering as redeemable stock and not permanent
equity and so we report negative stockholders' equity and expect to continue to
do so.



                                       22





General and administrative expenses - For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2022, we had a loss from operations of approximately $580,000 and
$1,736,000, respectively, consisting primarily of costs for being a public
company of approximately $183,000 and $546,000, compensation of approximately
$249,000 and $747,000, respectively (approximately $122,000 and $365,000,
respectively, of which is deferred), approximately $50,000 and $150,000,
respectively, of franchise taxes, approximately $45,000 and $135,000,
respectively, of administrative fees to our Sponsor, approximately $28,000 and
$97,000, respectively, of costs associated with searching for a suitable
business combination and other costs.



For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the period from January 22,
2021 (inception) to September 30, 2021, our net loss and loss from operations
was $4,000 and $6,000, respectively, consisting primarily of formation costs
since our activities were primarily devoted or organizational activities and
those activities necessary to preparation for our Public Offering.



Other income (expense) - In addition to operating costs, for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2022, we had other income of approximately $3,539,000
and $14,726,000, respectively, representing the reduction in fair value of our
warrant liability during the periods and interest income of approximately
$1,496,000 and $1,908,000, respectively. As a result of market conditions
occurring in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic, low interest rates on
available investments had been insufficient to cover our franchise tax
obligations until June 30, 2022 after interest rates increased in 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Our liquidity needs prior to the completion of our initial public offering were
satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the founder shares and up
to $500,000 in loans from our Sponsor under an unsecured promissory note,
$195,000 of which was borrowed prior to, and then fully repaid at, the October
1, 2021 closing of our initial public offering. The net proceeds from: (1) the
sale of our units in our initial public offering (including the additional units
sold on October 21, 2021 pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters'
over-allotment option), after deducting offering expenses of approximately
$990,000 and underwriting commissions of approximately $6,819,000 (excluding
total deferred underwriting commissions of $11,933,000), and (2) the sale of the
Private Placement Warrants (including the additional Private Placement Warrants
sold on October 21, 2021 in connection with the partial exercise of the
underwriters' over-allotment option) for a purchase price of approximately
$10,819,000, was $343,940,000. Of this amount, approximately $340,930,000, which
includes approximately $11,933,000 of total deferred underwriting commissions,
was deposited into the Trust Account. The remaining approximately $3,010,000
will not be held in the Trust Account. The funds in the Trust Account will be
invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or
less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest only in direct U.S.
government obligations.



We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account,
including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which
interest shall be net of taxes payable), if any, to complete our initial
Business Combination. We have made and will make withdrawals from the Trust
Account to pay our taxes, including franchise taxes and income taxes. Delaware
franchise tax is based on our authorized shares or on our assumed par and
non-par capital, whichever yields a lower result. Under the authorized shares
method, each share is taxed at a graduated rate based on the number of
authorized shares with a maximum aggregate tax of $200,000 per year. Under the
assumed par value capital method, Delaware taxes each $1,000,000 of assumed par
value capital at the rate of $400; where assumed par value would be (1) our
total gross assets divided by (2) our total issued shares of common stock,
multiplied by (3) the number of our authorized shares. Based on the number of
shares of our common stock authorized and outstanding and our total gross
assets, our annual franchise tax obligation is expected to be capped at the
maximum amount of annual franchise taxes payable by us as a Delaware corporation
of $200,000. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of
interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. We
expect the only taxes payable by us out of the funds in the Trust Account will
be income and franchise taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is
used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial Business
Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as
working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses,
make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.



                                       23






Prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, in addition to our
costs associated with operating as a listed public company, our principal use of
working capital will be to fund our activities to identify and evaluate target
businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses,
travel to and from the offices or similar locations of prospective target
businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and
material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and
complete an initial Business Combination, and to pay taxes to the extent the
interest earned on the Trust Account is not sufficient to pay our taxes.



In addition, we may pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to
assist us with our search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund
a "no-shop" provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from
"shopping" around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms
more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed
business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If
we entered into an agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity
from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to
fund a "no-shop" provision would be determined based on the terms of the
specific business combination and the amount of our available funds at the time.
Our forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise)
could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue searching for, or
conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.



As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at September 30, 2022, we
had approximately $1,073,000 in cash and working capital of approximately
$592,000. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant
costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans. We believe that we have
sufficient working capital at September 30, 2022 to continue our operations for
at least 12 months. However, if the Company cannot complete a Business
Combination before October 1, 2023, it could be forced to wind up its operations
and liquidate unless it receives an extension approval from its shareholders.
This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the
financial statements are issued. The Company's plan to deal with this
uncertainty is to complete a Business Combination prior to October 1, 2022.
There is no assurance that the Company's plan to consummate a Business
Combination will be successful or successful within the required timeframe. The
condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.


Our Sponsor, an affiliate of our Sponsor or our officers and directors may, but
none of them is obligated to, loan us funds as may be required to fund our
working capital requirements. If we complete our initial Business Combination,
we would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account
released to us. In the event that our initial Business Combination does not
close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust
Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account
would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be
convertible into Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Warrant at the option of the
lender. The Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued
to our Sponsor, our direct anchor investors and our other anchor investors. The
terms of such loans by our Sponsor, an affiliate of our Sponsor or our officers
and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist
with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other
than our Sponsor, an affiliate of our Sponsor or our officers and directors, if
any, as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and
provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our

Trust
Account.



                                       24





We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following our initial
public offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our
business. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target
business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial 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 initial
Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing
either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become
obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of
our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional
securities or incur debt in connection with such initial Business Combination.
In addition, we intend to target businesses with enterprise values that are
greater than we could acquire with the net proceeds of our initial public
offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, and, as a result, if
the cash portion of the purchase price exceeds the amount available from the
Trust Account, net of amounts needed to satisfy redemptions by public
stockholders, we may be required to seek additional financing to complete such
proposed initial Business Combination. We may also obtain financing prior to the
closing of our initial Business Combination to fund our working capital needs
and transaction costs in connection with our search for and completion of our
initial Business Combination. There is no limitation on our ability to raise
funds through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities or through
loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial Business
Combination, including pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop
arrangements we may enter into following the consummation of our initial public
offering. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only
complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial
Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business
Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be
forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition,
following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we
may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Off-balance sheet financing arrangements





As of September 30, 2022, we have no obligations, assets or liabilities which
would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. 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 entered into any agreements for non-financial assets.





Contractual obligations



At September 30, 2022, we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease
obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities. In connection
with our initial public offering, we entered into an Administrative Support
Agreement with Hennessy Capital Group LLC, an affiliate of our Sponsor, pursuant
to which the Company pays Hennessy Capital Group LLC $15,000 per month for
office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support.



Also, commencing on September 29, 2021, the date our securities were first
listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, we have agreed to compensate each of our
President and Chief Operating Officer as well as our Chief Financial Officer
$29,000 per month prior to the consummation of our initial Business Combination,
of which $14,000 per month is payable upon the completion of our initial
Business Combination and $15,000 per month is payable currently for their
services. Since January 1, 2022, we have been compensating a Vice President at
the rate of $25,000 per month, $12,500 of which is paid currently for his
services and $12,500 of which is payable upon the closing of our initial
Business Combination. An aggregate of approximately $249,000 and $747,000,
respectively, was charged for operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2022. Deferred compensation - related parties includes
approximately $449,000 under this obligation for the period from September 29,
2021 to September 30, 2022.

Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or our liquidation, the Company will cease paying or accruing these monthly fees.





In connection with identifying an initial Business Combination candidate and
negotiating an initial Business Combination, we may enter into engagement
letters or agreements with various consultants, advisors, professionals and
others in connection with an initial Business Combination. The services under
these engagement letters and agreements can be material in amount and in some
instances can include contingent or success fees. Contingent or success fees
(but not deferred underwriting compensation) would be charged to operations in
the quarter that our initial Business Combination is consummated. In most
instances (except with respect to our independent registered public accounting
firm), these engagement letters and agreements are expected to specifically
provide that such counterparties waive their rights to seek repayment from

the
funds in the Trust Account.



                                       25

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies





The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity
with U.S. GAAP 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 financial statements, and income and expenses
during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those
estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting estimates
and policies:



Accounting estimates:




A critical accounting estimate to our financial statements is the estimated fair
value of our warrant liability. Fair value is defined as the price that would be
received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP
establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used
in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3
measurements). These tiers include:

? Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for

identical instruments in active markets;

? Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are

either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar

instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar

instruments in markets that are not active; and

? Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data

exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as

valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant


   inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.




In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be
categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those
instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair
value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the

fair
value measurement.



The estimated fair value of the warrant liability at inception of the Warrants,
October 1, 2021, was determined using Level 3 inputs. At October 1, 2021, we
utilized an independent valuation consultant that used a binomial lattice
simulation methodology to value the Warrants. Inherent in a binomial options
pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility,
expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. We estimate the
volatility of our shares based on historical volatility that matches the
expected remaining life of the Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on
the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity
similar to the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The expected life of the
Warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The
dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which we anticipate to remain at
zero.




Since the hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in
active markets, at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our Public Warrants
were trading in an active market. As such, at September 30, 2022 and December
31, 2021, we valued our Public Warrants based on publicly observable inputs
(Level 1 inputs) from the trading in the Public Warrants in an active market
($0.26 and $0.84, respectively, per warrant on September 30, 2022 and December
31, 2021). Since the Private Placement Warrants are substantially similar to the
Public Warrants but do not trade, we valued them based on the value of the
Public Warrants (significant other observable inputs - Level 2).

For reference, each $0.10 change in fair value of our Warrants translated to approximately $1,858,000 gain or loss.

Mandatory Liquidation and Going Concern


With approximately $1,073,000 in cash and approximately $592,000 of working
capital at September 30, 2022, the Company believes, but cannot assure, that it
has the resources to continue its operations beyond one year plus the normal
time to report its financial statements. However, if the Company cannot complete
a Business Combination before October 1, 2023, it could be forced to wind up its
operations and liquidate unless it receives an extension approval from its
shareholders. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year
after the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company's plan to
deal with this uncertainty is to complete a Business Combination prior to
October 1, 2022. There is no assurance that the Company's plan to consummate a
Business Combination will be successful or successful within the required
timeframe. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.



                                       26

Net Income or Loss per Share of Common Stock:





We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share." Net income or loss per
share of common stock is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period plus, to the extent dilutive, the incremental
number of shares of common stock to settle Warrants, as calculated using the
treasury stock method.



We have not considered the effect of the Warrants sold in our initial public
offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 18,576,712 shares of
Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share,
since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As
a result, diluted income (loss) per share of common stock is the same as basic
income (loss) per share of common stock for the period presented.



We have two classes of shares: our Class A common stock and our Class B common
stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata among the two classes of common
stock. Net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing the
net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the respective period. The changes in redemption value that
are accreted to Class A common stock subject to redemption (see below) are
representative of fair value and therefore is not factored into the calculation
of earnings per share.

The following table reflects the net income per share after allocating income between the shares based on outstanding shares.

The Company did not have two classes of stock outstanding during the periods
ended September 30, 2021 and therefore net loss of approximately $4,000 and
$6,000, respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the
period from January 22, 2021 (inception) to September 30 2021 was allocated 100%
to Class B stockholders, net of shares that were subject to forfeiture, leading
to net loss per share in that period of $0.00 and $0.00 respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:





The fair value of our 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 sheets primarily
due to their short-term nature, except for derivative warrant liabilities (See
Note 6).



Offering Costs:



We comply with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5A - "Expenses of Offering." Costs incurred in
connection with preparation for our initial public offering totaled
approximately $19,741,000 including our costs of approximately $990,000 together
with $18,750,000 of underwriters' discount, have been allocated to equity
instruments ($19,018,000) and warrant liability ($722,000), based on their
relative values, and charged to temporary equity or expense (in the case of the
portion allocated to warrant liability) upon completion of our initial public
offering.



Income Taxes:




The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes under FASB ASC, 740, "Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the balance sheet carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.
Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized.



The Company's currently taxable income consists of interest income on the Trust
Account net of taxes. The Company's general and administrative costs are
generally considered either start-up or business combination costs and are not
currently deductible. Further, warrant costs and income from change in fair
value of derivative warrant liabilities may not be deductible or includible in
taxable income. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and
the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and period from January 22, 2021
(inception) to September 30, 2021 the Company recorded income tax expense of
approximately $300,000 and $0, respectively, and approximately $320,000 and $0,
respectively. This occurs because, in 2022, there is substantial taxable
interest income earned on the Trust Account which, was partially offset by
deductible franchise taxes, so there was income for tax purposes, and in 2021
there was no interest income. In the three months ended September 30, 2021 and
for the period from January 22, 2021 (inception) to September 30, 2021, there
was no interest income because the Company's Public Offering had not happened at
that time. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2022 was approximately 10% and 2%, respectively, which differs
from the expected income tax rate primarily due to substantial income reported
from warrant fair value adjustments which is not taxable, offset partially by
the start-up costs (discussed above) which are not currently deductible and
business combination costs which may not be deductible or taxable. At September
30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has a deferred tax asset of
approximately $440,000 and $80,000, respectively, primarily related to start-up
costs. Management has determined that a full valuation allowance of the deferred
tax asset is appropriate at this time.



FASB ASC 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. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2022 or
December 31, 2021. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related
to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for
the payment of interest and penalties at September 30, 2022 or December 31,
2021. 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 subject to income tax examinations by major taxing

authorities since inception.

Redeemable Common Stock:



All of the 34,092,954 public shares sold as part of the units in our initial
public offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of
public shares if we hold a stockholder vote or if there is a tender offer for
shares in connection with a business combination. In accordance with FASB ASC
480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity" ("ASC 480"), redemption provisions
not solely within our control requires the security to be classified outside of
permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and
liquidation of all of the entity's equity instruments, are excluded from the
provisions of ASC 480. Although we did not specify a maximum redemption
threshold, our charter provides that in no event will we redeem our public
shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets (i.e., total assets
less intangible assets and liabilities) to be less than $5,000,001 upon the
closing of a business combination.



While redemptions cannot cause our net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,000,
all shares of Class A common stock are redeemable and classified as such on our
balance sheet until such time as a redemption event takes place. The value of
Class A common stock that may be redeemed is equal to $10.00 per share (which is
the assumed redemption price) multiplied by 34,092,954 shares of Class A common
stock.



We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust
the carrying value of the securities at the end of each reporting period.
Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Class A common stock
are affected by adjustments to additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, at
September 30, 2022, all of the 34,092,954 public shares were classified outside
of permanent equity. Class A common stock subject to redemption consist of:

Derivative warrant liabilities


We account for Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified
instruments based on an assessment of the warrant's specific terms and
applicable authoritative guidance FASB ASC 480 and ASC 815, Derivatives and
Hedging ("ASC 815"). The assessment considers whether the Warrants are
freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a
liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the Warrants meet all of the
requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the
Warrants are indexed to our own shares, among other conditions for equity
classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional
judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent
quarterly period end date while the Warrants are outstanding.



For issued or modified Warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity
classification, the Warrants are required to be recorded as a component of
additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified
Warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the
Warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of
issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair
value of the Warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the
statements of operations. Costs associated with issuing the Warrants accounted
for as liabilities are charged to operations when the Warrants are issued. The
fair value of the Warrants was estimated using a binomial lattice simulation
approach.
