Overview


We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 15, 2020. We were incorporated for the purpose of consummating a Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

Our Prior Sponsor was Kismet Sponsor Limited, a British Virgin Islands company. On February 22, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, including 3,000,000 additional Over-Allotment Units to cover the over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Over-Allotment Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $13.1 million, of which approximately $8.1 million was for deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the Private Placement of 4,400,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Prior Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $6.6 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $7,000.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $230.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of a portion of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in the Trust Account with Continental acting as trustee and invested in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

On June 15, 2022, the Prior Sponsor transferred to New Sponsor, 6,250,000 Founder Shares and 4,400,000 Private Placement Warrants to purchase our Class A Ordinary Shares held by the Prior Sponsor. On June 30, 2022, the Prior Sponsor transferred all the membership interests of the New Sponsor to Quadro in the Sponsor Transaction. In connection with the Sponsor Transaction, the Prior Sponsor also assigned to the New Sponsor all of its rights and obligations under the (i) Letter Agreement dated as of February 17, 2021, (ii) Registration Rights Agreement and (iii) Promissory Note. In addition, we and Kismet LLC mutually terminated the Administrative Services Agreement. As a result, we are no longer be obligated to pay a $10,000 monthly fee to Kismet pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement.





                                       22




Following the Sponsor Transaction, we plan to continue to focus on companies in the internet and other technology enabled sectors operating internationally, including the wider area of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, but will not consider companies operating in Russia or Belarus or any other country that may adversely affect our Nasdaq listing

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. Our initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable, if any, on the income accrued on the Trust Account) at the time the Company signs a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, we will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination in the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes that were paid by us or are payable by us, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company's obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $53,000 in our operating bank account and working capital deficit of approximately $107,000.

Our liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from the Prior Sponsor to cover certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, a loan of approximately $111,000 from the Prior Sponsor pursuant to the IPO Note originally issued on September 23, 2020 and amended on January 22, 2021, and a portion of the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. We repaid the IPO Note in full on February 24, 2021. Subsequent to the repayment, the facility was no longer available to us. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

On April 13, 2022, we issued the Promissory Note in the amount of up to $200,000 to the Prior Sponsor. The Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable on April 14, 2023. On May 25, 2022, we and the Prior Sponsor amended the Promissory Note agreement and increased the principal amount to $400,000. On June 30, 2022, the Prior Sponsor assigned all of its rights and obligations under the Promissory Note to the New Sponsor in connection with the Sponsor Transaction. As of June 30, 2022, we have drawn approximately $319,000 under the Promissory Note.





Going Concern



We may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from our Sponsor, our officers or directors or their affiliates. Our Sponsor, officers, directors and or their affiliates, may, but are not obligated to, loan our Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet our working capital needs. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, reducing overhead expenses, and extending the terms and due dates of certain accrued expenses and other liabilities. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, we have determined that the liquidity condition, mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to complete a Business Combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after February 22, 2023. The unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto under "Item 1. Financial Statements" do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.





                                       23





Contractual Obligations



We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, except that, commencing on February 17, 2021, through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation, we agreed to pay Kismet, LLC, an affiliate of the Prior Sponsor, $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. Fees for such services for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were waived.

On June 30, 2022, in connection with the Sponsor Transaction, we and Kismet LLC mutually terminated the Administrative Services Agreement. As a result, we are no longer be obligated to pay a $10,000 monthly fee pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement.





Results of Operations


Our entire activity since inception up to June 30, 2022, was in preparation for our formation and the Initial Public Offering, and since the completion of the Initial Public Offering, the search for Business Combination candidates. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of approximately $1.0 million, which consisted of a non-operating gain of approximately $864,000 resulting from the change in fair value of derivative assets and liabilities and approximately $292,000 of net gain on the investments held in the Trust Account, partially offset by approximately $107,000 general and administrative expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $83,000, which consisted of approximately $253,000 general and administrative expenses, partially offset by approximately $165,000 in change in fair value of warrant liabilities and approximately $6,000 of net gain on the investments held in Trust Account.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of approximately $5.1 million, which consisted of a non-operating gain of approximately $5.1 million resulting from the change in fair value of derivative assets and liabilities and approximately $313,000 of net gain on the investments held in the Trust Account, partially offset by approximately $300,000 general and administrative expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $871,000, which consisted of approximately $331,000 general and administrative expenses, approximately $153,000 in change in fair value of warrant liabilities and approximately $395,000 in offering costs associated with issuance of warrants, partially offset by approximately $9,000 of net gain on the investments held in Trust Account.

Commitments and Contingencies



Registration Rights


The holders of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants (and any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. On June 30 2022, in connection with the Sponsor Transaction, the Prior Sponsor assigned to the New Sponsor all of its rights and obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

Pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts (i) to file within 30 days after the closing of the initial Business Combination a registration statement with the SEC for a secondary offering of the Forward Purchase Shares (defined below) and the Forward Purchase Warrants (defined below) (and underlying Class A Ordinary Shares), (ii) to cause such registration statement to be declared effective promptly thereafter but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the initial filing, and (iii) to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earliest of (A) the date on which the Prior Sponsor or its assignees cease to hold the securities covered thereby and (B) the date all of the securities covered thereby can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, the Forward Purchase Agreement provides for "piggy-back" registration rights to the holders of the Forward Purchase Securities to include their securities in other registration statements filed by us.





Forward Purchase Agreement



In connection with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement with the Prior Sponsor, which provides for the purchase of $20.0 million Forward Purchase Units, which at the option of the Prior Sponsor can be increased to $50.0 million, with each Forward Purchase Unit consisting of one Forward Purchase Shares and one-third of one Forward Purchase Warrant to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share, for a purchase price of $10.00 per Forward Purchase Unit, in a private placement to occur concurrently with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The purchase under the Forward Purchase Agreement is required to be made regardless of whether any Class A Ordinary Shares are redeemed by the Public Shareholders. The Forward Purchase Securities will be issued only in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of the Forward Purchase Securities may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination, expenses in connection with the initial Business Combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company.





Underwriting Agreement



We granted the underwriters a 45-day option from February 17, 2021 to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 22, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4.6 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per Unit, or approximately $8.1 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical, as these policies are the most important to the depiction of our financial statements and require significant, difficult or complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are presented below:

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Subtopic 815-15, "Derivatives and Hedging - Embedded Derivatives". The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

We account for our warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement and Forward Purchase Units as derivative assets/liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 815-40 "Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Equity's Own Equity". Accordingly, we recognize the warrant and Forward Purchase Units as assets/liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our condensed statements of operations. The fair value of warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering was initially measured using Monte-Carlo simulation and subsequently been measured on the market price of such warrants when separately listed and traded at each measurement date. The fair value of warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement was initially measured using Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and subsequently using the market value of the Public Warrants. The fair value of the Forward Purchase Units has been measured using John C. Hull's Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives model at each measurement date.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A Ordinary Shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholders' equity (deficit). Our Class A Ordinary Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 23,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders' equity (deficit) section of the condensed balance sheets under "Item 1. Financial Statements".

We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC 260. We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per Ordinary Share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per Ordinary Share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 12,066,667 Class A Ordinary Shares because their exercise is contingent upon future events. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.





                                       26





Share-Based Compensation


We comply with the accounting and disclosure requirement of ASC 718. We record share- based compensation to employees and non-employees over the requisite service period based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. Share-based awards with graded-vesting schedules are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. We recognize the expense for share-based compensation awards subject to performance-based milestone vesting over the remaining service period when management determines that achievement of the milestone is probable. Management evaluates when the achievement of a performance-based milestone is probable based on the expected satisfaction of the performance conditions at each reporting date. Share-based compensation is recognized in general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed statements of operations under "Item 1. Financial Statements". We issued option awards that contain both a performance condition and service condition. The option awards vest upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination and will expire in five years after the date on which they first become exercisable. We have determined that the consummation of an initial Business Combination is a performance condition subject to significant uncertainty. As such, the achievement of the performance is not deemed to be probable of achievement until the consummation of the event, and therefore no compensation has been recognized for the period from inception to June 30, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the unaudited condensed financial statements under "Item 1. Financial Statements".

Status as an Emerging Growth Company

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an "emerging growth company" and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the unaudited condensed financial statements under "Item 1. Financial Statements" may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an "emerging growth company," we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Company's Chief Executive Officer's compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.





                                       27




Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations

Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
