NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

~~MARCH~~JUNE 3130, 2023

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Industrial Tech Acquisitions II, Inc. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 4, 2021. The Company was 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 (the “Business Combination”). While the Company may pursue an initial Business Combination target in any business, industry or geographical location, the Company intends to focus its search on targets operating in the technology-focused areas including software, mobile and Internet of Things (“IoT”) applications, digital and energy transformation, cloud and cyber communications as well as high bandwidth services, including LTE, remote sensing and 5G communications.

The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

OnAs ~~November~~of 21June 30, ~~2022~~2023, the Company ~~entered~~had ~~into~~not commenced anany ~~Agreement~~operations. ~~and~~All ~~Plan~~activity offor ~~Merger~~the ~~(as~~period ~~amended,~~from ~~the~~January ~~“NEXT~~4, ~~Merger~~2021 ~~Agreement”~~(inception) ~~with~~through ~~NEXT~~June ~~Renewable Fuels~~30, ~~Inc.,~~2023 arelates ~~Delaware~~to ~~corporation~~the Company’s formation, the IPO (~~“NEXT”~~as defined below), and ~~ITAQ~~subsequent ~~Merger~~to ~~Sub~~the ~~Inc.~~IPO, identifying a ~~Delaware~~target ~~corporation~~company ~~and~~for ~~wholly~~a ~~owned~~Business ~~subsidiary~~Combination. ofThe ~~the~~ Company ~~(“Merger~~will ~~Sub”),~~not ~~pursuant~~generate toany ~~which~~operating ~~Merger~~revenues ~~Sub~~until ~~will~~after bethe ~~merged~~completion ~~with~~of ~~and~~its ~~into~~initial ~~NEXT~~Business Combination, ~~and~~at ~~NEXT~~the ~~will~~earliest. ~~become~~The aCompany ~~wholly~~generates non-~~owned~~operating ~~subsidiary~~income ofin the ~~Company,~~form ~~which will~~of ~~change~~interest ~~its~~income ~~corporate~~on ~~name~~cash toand ~~“NXTCLEAN~~cash ~~Fuels~~equivalents ~~Inc.,”~~from orthe ~~such~~proceeds ~~other~~derived ~~name~~from ~~as mutually agreed to by~~ the ~~Company and NEXT (the “NEXT Business Combination”)~~IPO.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 4, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, the IPO (as defined below), and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO.

The Company’s sponsor is Industrial Tech Partners II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

The registration statement (“IPO Registration Statement”) for the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective on January 11, 2022. On January 14, 2022, the Company consummated its IPO of 17,250,000 units (the “Units”), which included 2,250,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company (the “Public Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (the “Public Warrants”). Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $172,500,000, which is discussed in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 8,037,500 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $8,037,500, which is discussed in Note 4.

Transaction costs amounted to $10,799,030 consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting commissions, $6,900,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $449,030 of other offering costs, partially offset by the reimbursement of $1,035,000 of offering expenses by the underwriters. The Company’s remaining cash after payment of the offering costs is held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) for working capital purposes.

The Company’s Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net balance in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

On January 14, 2022, an amount of $175,950,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and would be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as amended, the “amended and restated certificate of incorporation”), and (c) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination by December 14, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company) (the “Combination Period”), subject to applicable law.

The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is initially $10.20 per Public Share. The per-share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters.

All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants), the initial carrying value of Class A common stock classified as temporary equity would be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Class A common stock is subject to ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. While redemptions cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001, the Public Shares are redeemable and would be classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.

If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Company’s Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

On November 21, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with NEXT Renewable Fuels, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NEXT”), and ITAQ Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into NEXT, and NEXT will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which will change its corporate name to “NXTCLEAN Fuels Inc.,” or such other name as mutually agreed to by the Company and NEXT (the merger of Merger Sub into NEXT and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement collectively, the “NEXT Business Combination”). Each stockholder of NEXT will receive newly-issued Company securities, including, as applicable, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and/or options or warrants pursuant to which the Company’s Class A common stock will be issued, as further described below.

Merger Agreement Amendment

On April 14, 2023, the Company, NEXT and the Merger Sub entered into Amendment No.1 to the Merger Agreement (the “Amendment”). The parties entered into the Amendment in connection with the acquisition by Lakeview RNG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NEXT, of assets associated with the Red Rock Biofuels development in Lake County, Oregon, which was effective on April 14, 2023 (the “Lakeview Transaction”). The Amendment revised the consideration to be paid by the Company in the merger to provide for the issuance of a new class of preferred stock of the Company, to be designated the Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) which is to be issued to the holders of the NEXT preferred stock that was issued in connection with the Lakeview Transaction. Pursuant to the Amendment, each share of the NEXT preferred stock, which has a stated value of $750,000 per share, shall be automatically converted into 75,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which has a stated value of $10.00 per share. The issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to the holders of the NEXT preferred stock is in addition to the issuance of the Company’s common stock to the holders of the NEXT common stock as provided in the Merger Agreement. The terms of the issuance of the Company’s common stock remain unchanged.

Extension

On April 10, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from April 14, 2023 to December 14, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company) (the “Extension Amendment”). Stockholders holding 15,901,113 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, $165,137,380 ($10.38 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company had 1,348,887 Public Shares outstanding.

On April 12, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Extension Note”) in the principal amount of up to $280,000 to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to the Company up to such amount in connection with the extension of the Company’s time to consummate a business combination from April 14, 2023 to December 14, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company) (the “Extension”). The Company will deposit $35,000, or approximately $0.026 per Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the Extension, into the Company’s Trust Account (i) in connection with the first drawdown under the Extension Note and (ii) for each of the up to seven subsequent calendar months (commencing on May 15, 2023 and ending on the 14th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that is needed by the Company to complete an initial Business Combination. Such amounts will be distributed either to: (i) all of the holders of Public Shares upon the Company’s liquidation or (ii) holders of Public Shares who elect to have their shares redeemed in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Business Combination or (b) the date of the liquidation of the Company. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has deposited a total of $105,000 into the Trust Account in connection with the Extension payments. As of June 30, 2023, there was $0 outstanding under the Extension Note.

On April 12, 2023, the Company issued a second promissory note in the principal amount of up to $300,000 to the Sponsor (the “Working Capital Loan Note” and, together with the Extension Note, the “Notes”). The Working Capital Loan Note was issued in connection with advances the Sponsor has made, and may make in the future, to the Company for working capital expenses. The Working Capital Loan Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (a) the date of the consummation of the Business Combination or (b) the date of the liquidation of the Company, subject to the availability of funds outside of the Trust Account. As of June 30, 2023, there were $50,000 outstanding under working capital loans.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy is not determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

As a result of the Extension Amendment, 15,901,113 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed with a total redemption payment of $165,137,380. The Company recorded a liability of $1,651,374 for the excise tax based on 1% of shares redeemed during the reporting period. For interim periods, an entity is not required to estimate future stock repurchases and stock issuances to measure its excise tax obligation. Rather, an entity can generally record the obligation on an as-incurred basis. In other words, the excise tax obligation recognized at the end of a quarterly financial reporting period is calculated as if the end of the quarterly period was the end of the annual period for which the excise tax obligation is payable.

Liquidity, Going Concern and Capital Resources

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2023, the Company had $~~178~~475,~~791~~262 in its operating bank accounts which consisted of $101,435 classified as restricted cash to be utilized for tax payments only, and a working capital deficit of $~~261~~1,~~427~~607,862, which excludes franchise and income taxes payable as such amounts can be paid from the interest earned in the Trust Account. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2023, $12,~~892~~389,~~422~~034 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is available to pay the Company’s tax obligations.

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 the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company working capital loans. ~~As of March 31, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under any working capital loans.~~

7On April 12, 2023, Industrial Tech Acquisitions II, Inc., a Delaware corporation issued a promissory note in the principal amount of up to $280,000 to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to the Company up to such amount in connection with the extension of the Company’s time to consummate a business combination from April 14, 2023 to December 14, 2023 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company). As of June 30, 2023, there was $0 outstanding under the Extension Note.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until December 14, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company), to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company until one year from the issuance of these financial statements. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, coupled with the Company’s current liquidity, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 14, 2023. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

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

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 29, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”). The interim results for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company

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

INDUSTRIAL TECH ACQUISITIONS II, INC.

(Unaudited)

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these condensed financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three ~~and nine~~ months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company held $~~178~~475,~~791~~262 and $451,473 in cash as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, $101,435 of the operating cash balance was classified as restricted cash to be utilized for tax payments only.

Investment held in Trust Account

At ~~March~~June 3130, 2023 and December 31, 2022, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are primarily invested in U.S. Treasury securities.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company’s Class A common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contains a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies such Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Public Shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants) and as such, the initial carrying value of Public Shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Public Shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99 and are currently not redeemable as the redemption is contingent upon the occurrence of events mentioned above. According to ASC 480-10-S99-15, no subsequent adjustment is needed if it is not probable that the instrument will become redeemable.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1, SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering,” and SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5T – “Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s).” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction of equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $10,799,030 as a result of the IPO (consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting commissions, $6,900,000 of deferred underwriting commissions and $449,030 of other offering costs), partially offset by the reimbursement of $1,035,000 of offering expenses by the underwriters. The Company immediately expensed $27,670 of offering costs in connection with the Private Placement Warrants that were classified as liabilities.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for Private Placement Warrants for shares of the Company’s common stock that are not indexed to its own shares as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet. The Private Placement Warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense), net on the statements of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liability related to the warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of ~~March~~ 31June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. Our effective tax rate was 25148.7233% and 04.56% for the three months ended ~~March~~June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 31.15% and 0.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three ~~months~~and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2023 and 2022, due to changes in fair value of over-allotment option and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net (loss) income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Remeasurement adjustment associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from (loss) income per share of common stock as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of earnings per share for Class A and Class B common stock, applying the two-class method in calculating earnings per share pursuant to ASC 260. Net (loss) income per common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. The Company has not considered the effect of the Private Placement Warrants in the calculation of diluted (loss) income per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could potentially be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per common stock is the same as basic net (loss) income per share of common stock for the periods presented.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the warrant liabilities (see Note 8).

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature. 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). The Company’s financial instruments are classified as either Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. 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.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its 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 ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, will be re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative warrant liabilities will be classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06— “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”),” to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On January 14, 2022, the Company sold 17,250,000 Units, (which included 2,250,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit that the Company offered had a price of $10.00 and consists of one share of Class A common stock, and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

The Company’s Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 8,037,500 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant ($8,037,500 in the aggregate) in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. On January 14, 2022, in connection with the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, the Company sold an additional 2,250,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $22,500,000. Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the Units being sold in the IPO.

The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.12

The Company accounts for the Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability due to the existence of provisions whereby adjustments to the exercise price of the Private Placement Warrants is based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option and the existence of the potential for net cash settlement for the warrant holders (but not all stockholders) in the event of a tender offer.

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the Private Placement Warrants as derivative liabilities at fair value upon the closing of the IPO. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On January 12, 2021, the Company issued 4,312,500 shares of Class B common stock to the initial stockholders for $25,000 in cash, or approximately $0.006 per share. The founder shares included an aggregate of up to 562,500 shares subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised by the underwriters in full. As of January 14, 2022, the over-allotment option was fully exercised and such shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell their founder shares until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Company’s initial stockholders with respect to any founder shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the founder shares will no longer be subject to such transfer restrictions.

As previously disclosed in our IPO Registration Statement, Meteora Capital Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and an affiliate of a member of our Sponsor (“Meteora”), acted as a consultant to us in connection with our IPO. Upon the closing of the IPO, Meteora and one of its affiliates, together purchased a total of 1,250,000 Units sold in the IPO at $10.00 per Unit.

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on the date of the IPO, the Company has agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For each of the three and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2023, the Company incurred and paid $30,000 and $60,000 in fees for these services, respectively. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred and paid $30,000 and $60,000 in fees for these services, respectively.

Consulting Agreement

The Sponsor entered into a verbal consulting agreement with Meteora pursuant to which it agrees to provide consulting services and advice, post the IPO, through the business combination process for $172,500. The amount was paid and expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Promissory Notes — Related Party

On January 8, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “IPO Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. This loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the closing of the IPO.

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue a total of 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at par value of $0.0001 each. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 1,348,887 and 17,250,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, which were presented as temporary equity on the balance sheet as shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue a total of 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock at par value of $0.0001 each. Up to 562,500 of the founder shares were subject to forfeiture if the underwriters did not exercise their over-allotment option in full. Since the over-allotment option was exercised in full, the forfeiture provision terminated and none of the founder shares are subject to forfeiture. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 4,312,500 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. As of June 30, 2023, the over-allotment option was fully exercised and such shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at the time of its initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the IPO plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination.

~~Holders~~Except as otherwise provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law, holders of the Class A common stock and holders of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders, with each share of common stock entitling the holder to one vote.

Public Warrants -– Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked ~~securities~~ securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by the Sponsor or its affiliates, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate ~~gross~~ gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) ~~the~~ the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading ~~day~~ day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is ~~below~~ below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO or 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless, in which case the purchaser of a unit containing such warrants shall have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the shares of Class A common stock underlying such unit. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant.

(Unaudited)

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the Private Placement Warrants):

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

●

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

●

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on each of 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” the management will consider, among other factors, the Company’s cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on the stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. If the management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

The Company issued 8,037,500 Public Warrants in connection with the IPO and accounted for them in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that the Public Warrants meet the criteria for equity treatment due to the existence of provisions whereby adjustments to the exercise price of the warrants is based on a variable that is an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option and no circumstances under which the Company can be forced to net cash settle the warrants.

Private Warrants – The Private Placement Warrants were accounted for as liability in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within liabilities on the balance sheet. The warrant liability is measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within the change in fair value of warrant liability in the statements of operations (see Note 8).

The Private Placement Warrants were accounted for as liability in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within liabilities on the balance sheet. The warrant liability is measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within the change in fair value of warrant liability in the statements of operations.

The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Private Placement Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the measurement dates due to the use of unobservable inputs. Inherent in pricing models are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the 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.17

On April 14, 2023, in connection with the execution and delivery of the Amendment No. 1 and execution of the agreement relating to the Lakeview Transaction, the Company and NEXT entered into voting and support agreements (collectively, the “Preferred Stock Voting Agreements”) with certain holders of NEXT preferred stock issued in connection with the Lakeview Transaction. Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Voting Agreements, the holders agreed to vote all of such stockholder’s shares of NEXT (i) in favor of the Merger, the NEXT Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and the other matters to be submitted to the NEXT’s stockholders for approval in connection with the transactions, and each holder agreed to take (or not take, as applicable) certain other actions in support of the NEXT Merger Agreement and the transactions, and (ii) to vote the shares in opposition to: any acquisition proposal and any and all other proposals (x) for the acquisition of NEXT, or (y) which are in competition with or materially inconsistent with the NEXT Merger Agreement, in each case in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in the Preferred Stock Voting Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders shall not be required to take any action or deliver any instrument in the event that the NEXT Merger Agreement has been amended or modified, without the holders’ consent, (i) in a manner that is disproportionately adverse to the holders of the NEXT preferred stock held by such holders as compared to the holders of the other classes or series of NEXT equity securities or (ii) that would result in the holders not receiving NXTCLEAN Fuels Inc. Series A Preferred Stock as contemplated by certain subscription agreements, dated as of April 14, 2023, by and between the holders and NEXT. The Preferred Stock Voting Agreements prevent transfers of the securities held by the holders thereto between the date of the Preferred Stock Voting Agreement and the date of closing of the NEXT Business Combination, except for certain permitted transfers where the recipient also agrees to comply with the Preferred Stock Voting Agreement.18

Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 4, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. While we may pursue an initial Business Combination target in any business, industry or geographical location, we intend to focus our search on targets operating in the technology-focused areas including software, mobile and IoT applications, digital and energy transformation, cloud and cyber communications as well as high bandwidth services, including LTE, remote sensing and 5G communications. We have not selected any specific Business Combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

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

~~Recent~~Next ~~Developments~~Business Combination and Extension

On November 21, 2022, the Company, NEXT and Merger Sub entered into the ~~NEXT~~ Merger Agreement pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub will be merged with and into NEXT, and NEXT will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which will change its name to “NXTCLEAN Fuels Inc.,” or such other name as mutually agreed to by the Company and NEXT; and (ii) each stockholder of NEXT will receive newly-issued Company securities, including, as applicable, ~~shares~~ shares of Class A common stock and/or options or warrants pursuant to which Class A common stock will be issued. Prior to, and contingent upon, the closing of the NEXT Business Combination, the Company is to effect a recapitalization pursuant to which all convertible debt ~~shall~~ shall be converted into common stock.

On April 10, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders. At the Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Extension Amendment, extending the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from April 14, 2023 to December 14, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company). Stockholders holding 15,901,113 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, $165,137,380 ($10.38 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company had 1,348,887 Public Shares outstanding. In connection with the extension, we will deposit $35,000, or approximately $0.026 per Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the extension, into the Trust Account each month, with the initial payment being made on April 14, 2023, with up to seven subsequent payments to be made on the 14th of the month, commencing May 14, 2023. Such amounts will be added to the Trust Account. As of June 30, 2023, the funds in the Trust Account were $14,499,588.

On April 14, 2023, the Company, NEXT and the Merger Sub entered into Amendment No.1 to the Merger Agreement. The parties entered into the Amendment in connection with the acquisition by Lakeview RNG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NEXT, of assets associated with the Red Rock Biofuels development in Lake County, Oregon, which was effective on April 14, 2023. The Amendment revised the consideration to be paid by the Company in the merger to provide for the issuance of a new class of preferred stock of the Company, to be designated the Series A Preferred Stock, which is to be issued to the holders of the NEXT preferred stock that was issued in connection with the Lakeview Transaction. Pursuant to the Amendment, each share of the NEXT preferred stock, which has a stated value of $750,000 per share, shall be automatically converted into 75,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which has a stated value of $10.00 per share. The issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to the holders of the NEXT preferred stock is in addition to the issuance of the Company’s common stock to the holders of the NEXT common stock as provided in the Merger Agreement. The terms of the issuance of the Company’s common stock remain unchanged.

On April 14, 2023, in connection with the execution and delivery of the Amendment and execution of the agreement relating to the Lakeview Transaction, the Company and NEXT entered into voting and support agreements (collectively, the “Preferred Stock Voting Agreements”) with certain holders of NEXT preferred stock issued in connection with the Lakeview Transaction. Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Voting Agreements, the holders agreed to vote all of such stockholder’s shares of NEXT (i) in favor of the NEXT Business Combination, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and the other matters to be submitted to the NEXT’s stockholders for approval in connection with the transactions, and each holder agreed to take (or not take, as applicable) certain other actions in support of the Merger Agreement and the transactions, and (ii) to vote the shares in opposition to: any acquisition proposal and any and all other proposals (x) for the acquisition of NEXT, or (y) which are in competition with or materially inconsistent with the Merger Agreement, in each case in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in the Preferred Stock Voting Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders shall not be required to take any action or deliver any instrument in the event that the Merger Agreement has been amended or modified, without the holders’ consent, (i) in a manner that is disproportionately adverse to the holders of the NEXT preferred stock held by such holders as compared to the holders of the other classes or series of NEXT equity securities or (ii) that would result in the holders not receiving NXTCLEAN Fuels Inc. Series A Preferred Stock as contemplated by certain subscription agreements, dated as of April 14, 2023, by and between the holders and NEXT. The Preferred Stock Voting Agreements prevent transfers of the securities held by the holders thereto between the date of the Preferred Stock Voting Agreement and the date of closing of the NEXT Business Combination, except for certain permitted transfers where the recipient also agrees to comply with the Preferred Stock Voting Agreement.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from January 4, 2021 (Inception) through ~~March~~June 3130, 2023 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, ~~described below, and~~ identifying a target company for a Business Combination, negotiation the Merger Agreement, obtaining stockholder approval of an extension of the date by which the Company must complete its first Business Combination, negotiating financing in connection with the Merger with NEXT and seeking stockholder approval. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

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 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.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

On January 14, 2022, we consummated our IPO of 17,250,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 8,037,500 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $8,037,500.

Following the IPO, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $175,950,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $10,799,030 in the IPO related costs, including $3,450,000 of underwriting commissions, $6,900,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $449,030 of other offering costs, partially offset by the reimbursement of $1,035,000 of offering expenses by the underwriters.

On April 10, 2023, we held a special meeting of stockholders at which our stockholders approved the extension of the date by which we must consummate a Business Combination from April 14, 2023 to December 14, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by our board of directors). In connection with the vote to approve the extension, the holders of our Public Shares had the right, with certain limited exceptions, to have their Public Shares redeemed. In connection with such extension, stockholders holding 15,901,113 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares, and, as a result, $165,137,380 ($10.38 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders, leaving a balance of approximately $14 million after the redemption payments. As a result of the redemptions, the number of Public Shares decreased from 17,250,000 shares to 1,348,887 shares. In connection with the extension, we will deposit $35,000, or approximately $0.026 per Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the extension, into the Trust Account each month, with the initial payment being made on April 14, 2023, with up to seven subsequent payments to be made on the 14th of the month, commencing May 14, 2023. ~~These payments will be made from loans from the Sponsor, which agreed to make the monthly loans to the Company.~~ Such amounts will be added to the Trust Account.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2023, cash ~~used~~ used in operating activities was $~~472~~1,~~732~~265,687. Net income of $1,~~118~~085,~~944~~227 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $12,~~892~~389,~~422~~034, ~~and~~ change in fair value of the warrant liability of $~~180~~128,~~200~~157 ~~offset~~and ~~by the~~ change in the deferred tax provision of $23107,~~885~~031. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $~~457~~273,~~061~~308 in cash for operating activities.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2022, cash ~~used~~ used in operating activities was $~~756~~1,~~972~~084,702. Net income of $23,~~528~~184,~~032~~693 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in ~~the~~ the Trust Account of $1249,~~033~~501, financing costs of warrant issuance of $27,670, and change in fair value of the warrant liability of $3,~~048~~850,~~096~~424. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $~~263~~197,~~545~~940 in cash for operating activities.

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2023, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $~~180~~14,~~179~~499,~~782~~588 (including $12,~~892~~389,~~422~~034 of interest income) consisting of securities held in a money market fund with a maturity of 180 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through ~~March~~June 3130, 2023, we have withdrawn $~~200~~1,~~050~~344,476 of interest earned from the Trust Account to pay taxes obligation and $165,137,380 in connection with redemptions.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2023, we had cash of $~~178~~475,~~791.~~262 which consisted of $101,435 classified as restricted cash to be utilized for tax payments only. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASU 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until December 2023, to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company until one year from the issuance of these financial statements. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate in April 2023. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2023.

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 4.0% of the gross proceeds of the IPO upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

During 2022, we entered into a contingent fee arrangement with a third-party legal firm. The fees, contingent upon a successful Business Combination, are $1,000,000. These fees will only become payable upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination. In the event we do not complete a business combination, we are solely obligated to pay $150,000 under the contingent fee arrangement. We have accrued $477,945 in services provided through June 30, 2023 under this contract.

During 2022, we entered into a contingent fee arrangement with a third-party advisor for the sale of securities. All fees to the third-party advisor are contingent upon the consummation of such sales. As compensation for services, we agreed to pay the advisor a cash placement fee equal to the sum of six percent (6.0%) of the first $50,000,000 of gross proceeds of any sale of securities to investors (excluding Identified Investors), plus five percent (5.0%) of the gross proceeds of any sale in excess of $50,000,000, plus three percent (3.0%) of that portion, if any, of the gross proceeds of any sale of securities. Further, we agreed to a structuring fee, contingent upon the closing of a Business Combination, of $1,000,000 which will be offset by any funds raised under the fee arrangement. These fees are payable upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for Private Placement Warrants for shares of the Company’s common stock that are not indexed to its own shares as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet. The Private Placement Warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense), net on the statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liability related to the warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

Net ~~Income~~ (Loss) Income Per Share of Common Stock

Net ~~income~~ (loss) income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net ~~income~~ (loss) income by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Remeasurement adjustment associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from ~~income~~ (loss) income per share of common stock as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.

~~Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations~~23

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the Exchange Act, under the ~~supervision~~ supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-~~15(e)~~15I and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, due to the lack of controls needed to assure we are differentiating expenses incurred in connection with business combination transactions and should be expensed, from those that apply to financing transactions which should be deferred and recorded as a reduction of proceeds upon the completion of a financing transaction. In addition, we lacked controls and procedures over financial reporting and review of financial statements, as well as over recording of accruals. The above deficiencies constitute material weakness in our internal controls as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2023. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Management intends to implement ~~remediation~~additional ~~steps~~remediation steps to improve our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over the review of all transactions and expenses. While we we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to continue to enhance our system of ~~evaluating~~ evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that apply to our condensed financial statements, including through enhanced analyses by our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. We believe our efforts will enhance our controls relating to accounting for complex financial transactions, but we can offer no assurance that our controls will not require additional review and modification in the future as industry accounting practice may evolve over time.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than as discussed above, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2023 that materially affected, or are ~~reasonably~~ reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART –I II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

To the knowledge of our management team, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Quarterly Report. However, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our (i) IPO Registration Statement, (ii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on August 15, 2022, (iii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on November 9, 2022, (iv) ~~2022~~ 2022 Annual Report, ~~and~~ (v) Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2022, and (iv) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on May 15, 2023. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, including events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, or our prospects.

The funds in our operating account and our Trust Account are held in banks or other financial institutions. Our funds held in non-interest bearing and interest-bearing accounts would exceed any applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. Should events, including limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments occur with respect to the banks or other financial institutions that hold our funds, or that affect financial institutions or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, our liquidity may be adversely affected. For example, on March 10, 2023, the FDIC announced that Silicon Valley Bank had been closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. Although we did not have any funds in Silicon Valley Bank or other institutions that have been closed, we cannot guarantee that the banks or other financial institutions that hold our funds will not experience similar issues.

In addition, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on terms favorable to us in connection with a potential business combination, or at all, and could have material adverse impacts on our liquidity, our business, financial condition or results of operations, and our prospects. Our business may be adversely impacted by these developments in ways that we cannot predict at this time, there may be additional risks that we have not yet identified, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to avoid negative consequences directly or indirectly from any failure of one or more banks or other financial institutions.

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

None. For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our ~~IPO~~initial public offering and ~~the~~ private placement, see Part III, Item 25 of ~~the~~our ~~Company’s~~Annual ~~Quarterly~~ Report on Form 10-QK for the ~~quarter~~ year ended ~~March~~December 31, ~~2022~~2021, as filed with the SEC on ~~May~~April 2311, 2022.
