There was no activity from December 10, 2020 through December 31, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements with, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus on companies in the technology-focused middle market and emerging growth companies in North America.

At September 30, 2023, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2023 related to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering which was consummated on May 7, 2021 (as defined below) and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate nonF-operating income in the form of interest income or unrealized gains on investments held in the trust account and gains or losses from the change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.3

~~Initial~~NOTES TO FINANCIAL ~~Business Combination~~STATEMENTS

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and sale of the Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. NASDAQ rulesNOTE provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned and less any interest earned thereon that is released for taxes) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination1. ~~The~~ ~~Company~~DESCRIPTION ~~will~~OF 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 1940ORGANIZATION, asBUSINESS ~~amended~~OPERATIONS ~~(the~~AND ~~“Investment~~GOING ~~Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.~~CONCERN

~~The~~Organization Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company may seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, ~~if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.~~General

~~All~~Sponsor 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 Company’s Business Combination and inInitial connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). In accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in 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 the shares of Class A common stock classified as temporary equity was the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. Because of the redemption feature noted above, the shares of Class A common stock are 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. The re-measurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital). While redemptions cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001, the Public Shares are redeemable and will be classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.Financing

FThe Company’s Sponsor is Maquia Investment North America LLC, (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on May 4, 2021. On May 7, 2021, the Company closed its Initial Public Offering of 16,000,000 units (the “Units”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $160 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $7.0 million, inclusive of $5,192,916 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 4). Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Public Shares”) and one-6half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Warrant” and, collectively, the “Warrants”). On May 7, 2021, the Company issued 160,000 shares of Class B common stock to the underwriter for services rendered and recorded $1,209,600 which is recorded as a stock issuance cost.

The ~~Company~~Trust initially had until May 7, 2022 to consummate a Business Combination, which period was extended to November 7, 2022 following the First Extension. On November 4, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders in which the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from November 7, 2022 to May 7, 2023 (the “Second Extension”).Account

~~On May 5, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a non~~F-redemption agreement (“Non-Redemption Agreement”) with one or more unaffiliated third party or parties in exchange for such third party or third parties agreeing not to redeem an aggregate of 847,883 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock sold in its initial public offering (“Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the special meeting of the stockholders called by the Company (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and approve an extension of time for the Company to consummate an initial business combination (the “Extension Proposal”) from May 7, 2023 to February 7, 2024 (the “Extension”). In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such Non-Redeemed Shares, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to such third party or third parties an aggregate of 271,323 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock held by the Sponsor immediately following the consummation of an initial business combination if they continue to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Special Meeting. The Company recorded $879,900 related to the non redemption agreements as a contribution from Sponsor and an adjustment to accumulated deficit in the statement of changes in stockholders’ deficit.5

InTable ~~connection with the Second Extension, the Sponsor made monthly loans~~ of $159,291 through May 7, 2023. In connection with the Third Extension, the Sponsor will make additional monthly loans of $27,268 for each monthly period following May 7, 2023 through February 7, 2024 (or nine monthly contributions in total if the full Combination Period is required). As of December 31, 2022, an aggregate of $318,582 had been deposited into the trust account related to the Second and Third Extensions. As of September 30, 2023, an aggregate of $1,092,086 had been deposited into the trust account related to the Second and Third Extensions. If the Company is unable to complete a 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 no more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding 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 (net of taxes payable and less interest to pay dissolution expenses up to $100,000), 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 liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit.Contents

Specifically, the rising conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and resulting market volatility could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete a business combination. In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Moreover, on October 7th 2023 war erupted in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination and the value of the Company’s securities.Contents

FAll 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 Company’s Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). In accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-810-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 the shares of Class A common stock classified as temporary equity was the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. Because of the redemption feature noted above, the shares of Class A common stock are 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. The re-measurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital). While redemptions cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001, the Public Shares are redeemable and will be classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.

~~NOTE~~If a stockholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules 2.of ~~SUMMARY~~the OFSEC, ~~SIGNIFICANT~~and ~~ACCOUNTING~~file ~~POLICIES~~tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.

~~Basis~~The Sponsor has agreed (a) to vote its Class B common stock, the common stock included in the Private Placement Units (the “Placement Shares”) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of ~~presentation~~a Business Combination, (b) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association with respect to the Company’s pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of a Business Combination unless the Company provides dissenting public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (c) not to redeem any shares (including the Class B common stock) and Private Placement Units (including underlying securities) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a Business Combination (or to sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if the Company does not seek stockholder approval in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights of pre-Business Combination activity and (d) that the Class B common stock and Private Placement Units (including underlying securities) shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However, the Sponsor will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination.

~~Offering~~In ~~Costs~~2023, ~~Associated~~in connection with redemptions that occurred in November 2022, the ~~Initial Public~~Company ~~Offering~~determined it did not withdraw all the interest from the trust account that it was allowed to withdraw to cover federal income and State of Delaware franchise taxes which had accrued in the amount of $261,900 and, therefore, the redemption payment should have been adjusted down to $10.40 per share. As a result, the redeeming stockholders were overpaid in the amount of $208,342. In March 2024, the Company learned that the efforts to recover the overpayment amount from redeeming stockholders had not occurred. Consequently, on March 27, 2024, the Company’s Sponsor replenished the overpayment amount, including interest of $12,016, directly to the Trust. The Company intends to promptly initiate recovery efforts from the redeeming stockholders through CST. Redeeming Stockholders are being notified of this situation and are being instructed to return the Overpayment Amount to CST.

While ASC 740 identifies usage of the effective annual tax rate for purposes of an interim provision, it does allow for estimating individual elements in the current period if they are significant unusual or infrequent. Computing the ETR for the Company is complicated due to the potential impact of the Company’s change in fair value of warrants for any other change in fair value of a complex financial instrument), the timing of any potential Business Combination expenses and the actual interest income that will be recognized during the year. The Company has taken a position as to the calculation of income tax expenses in the current period based on 740F-270-25-3 which states, “if an entity is unable to estimate a part of its ordinary income (or loss) or the related tax (or benefit) but is otherwise able to make a reliable estimate, the tax (or benefit) applicable to the item that cannot be estimated shall be reported in the interim period in which the item is reported.” The Company believes its calculation to be a reliable estimate and allows it to properly take into account the unusual elements that can impact its annualized book income and its impact on ETR. As such, the Company is computing its taxable income (loss) and associated income tax provision based on actual results through September 30, 2023.9

~~The~~Table Company’s effective tax rate was (9.6)% and (27.8)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 7.8% and 2.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of ~~21.0%~~ ~~for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, due to changes in the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.~~Contents

~~Class A~~There ~~Common~~is ~~Stock~~no ~~Subject~~assurance that the Company’s plans to ~~Possible Redemption~~consummate an Initial Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

~~The~~Risks Company accounts for the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of the common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable shares of the common stock (including shares of the common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the issuer’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of the common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the shares of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in the amount of $12,033,190 and $37,247,257, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.Uncertainties

Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may also contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide. Specifically, the rising conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and resulting market volatility could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete a business combination. In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination and the value of the Company’s securities.

~~Warrant Instruments~~F-11

~~The~~Table Company accounts for the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, respectively, in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” whereby under that provision the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability will be re-measured at each balance sheet date until the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants will be estimated using an internal valuation model. The Company’s valuation model utilizes inputs and other assumptions and may not be reflective of the price at which they can be settled. Such warrant classification is also subject to re-evaluation at each reporting period.Contents

~~F-12~~Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

~~NOTE~~The Company accounts for the Class 3A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” ~~INITIAL~~Shares ~~PUBLIC~~of ~~OFFERING~~the common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable shares of the common stock (including shares of the common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the issuer’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of the common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the shares of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in the amount of $11,766,029 and $12,680,351, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheets.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes and any other loans made by the Sponsor or its affiliates (including the loans made to effectuate extensions as described below), the Company’s officers and directors, or the Company’s and their affiliates prior to or in connection with a Business Combination may be converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into additional Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Any such payments would be made in the form of a loan. Any such loans will be non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of a Business Combination out of the proceeds of the trust account released to it. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, such loans will not be repaid.risk

The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

The Company has determined that the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants are derivative instruments. As the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants meet the definition of a derivative, the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants are measured at fair value at issuance and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations in the period of change.

~~Non-redemption~~The ~~agreements~~Company has determined that the conversion option of the First Extension Note is a derivative instrument. The Company has elected to recognize the First Extension Note, including the conversion option, at fair value as permitted under ASC Topic 815. The First Extension Note is measured at fair value at issuance and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations in the period of change. The Company recognized an unrealized gain of $56,706 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and an unrealized loss of $24,445 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 related to the change in fair value of convertible debt of the first extension Note, which is included in change in fair value of derivative liabilities on the accompanying statements of operations.

OnWarrant May 5, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a non-redemption agreement (“Non-Redemption Agreement”) with one or more unaffiliated third party or parties in exchange for such third party or third parties agreeing not to redeem an aggregate of 847,883 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock sold in its initial public offering (“Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the special meeting of the stockholders called by the Company (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and approve an extension of time for the Company to consummate an initial business combination (the “Extension Proposal”) from May 7, 2023 to February 7, 2024 (the “Extension”). In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such Non-Redeemed Shares, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to such third party or third parties an aggregate of 271,323 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock held by the Sponsor immediately following the consummation of an initial business combination if they continue to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Special Meeting. The Company recorded $879,900 related to the non redemption agreements as a contribution from Sponsor and an adjustment to accumulated deficit in the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ deficit.Instruments

FThe Company accounts for the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, respectively, in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” whereby under that provision the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability will be re-15measured at each balance sheet date until the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants will be estimated using an internal valuation model. The Company’s valuation model utilizes inputs and other assumptions and may not be reflective of the price at which they can be settled. Such warrant classification is also subject to re-evaluation at each reporting period.

In addition, if (x) we issue additional shares of Class A common stock or equity~~F-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our 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 our board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to our Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by our Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of our initial business combination on the date of the consummation of our initial business combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of our Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which we consummate our initial business combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.15

~~The~~Table ~~accounting treatment~~ of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record a derivative liability upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Accordingly, the Company classified each Warrant as a liability at its fair value, and the Warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to their fair value determined by the Monte Carlo simulation. 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.Contents

InRelated ~~the~~Party Company’s fiscal quarter ended on June 30, 2021, the warrants detached from the units and started trading, therefore, since the fiscal quarter ended on June 30, 2021, the trading price for the public warrants will be used as the fair value of the public warrants.Loans

~~F-18~~In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes and any other loans made by the Sponsor or its affiliates (including the loans made to effectuate extensions as described below), the Company’s officers and directors, or the Company’s and their affiliates prior to or in connection with a Business Combination may be converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into additional Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

~~Class B Common~~Table ~~Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares~~ of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 2,371,813 and 4,500,528 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding held by the Sponsor, a consultant and the underwriter. On May 4, 2021, the Company effected a cancellation agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company cancelled 1,150,000 founder shares, resulting in the Sponsor holding 4,600,000 founder shares (of which 600,000 of such shares being subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option is not exercised in full) so that the initial stockholders will own 20% of the issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the initial stockholders do not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering and excluding the Founder Shares). The Sponsor also transferred 70,000 Founder Shares to ARC Group Limited in consideration of services provided by such party as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Shares and associated accounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the surrender of 1,150,000 Class B ordinary shares. The Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the consummation of our initial business combination, on a one-for-one basis. In connection with April 21, 2023 Meeting, the Sponsor exchanged 2,128,715 Class B shares for 2,128,715 Class A shares.Contents

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

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement dateNOTE 5. InCOMMITMENTS ~~connection~~AND with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:CONTINGENCIES

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

The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, such holders may only make a demand registration (i) on one occasion and ~~quoted~~(ii) ~~prices~~during ~~for~~the ~~identical~~five ~~assets~~year period beginning on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of the majority of the founder shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these common stock are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) and securities issued in payment of working capital loans (or ~~liabilities~~underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, such holders may participate in ~~markets~~a ~~that~~“piggy-back” ~~are~~registration ~~not~~only ~~active~~during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

Level 1:

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

Level 2:

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

Level 3:

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

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:


		March 31,		December 31,
Description	Level	2024		2023
Assets:
Marketable securities held in the Trust Account	1	$	11,218,498	$	11,957,157

Liabilities:
Note payable – Sponsor	3	$	1,746,823	$	1,803,529
Warrant Liability – Private Placement Warrants	3	$	8,756	$	5,837
Warrant Liability – Public Warrants	1	$	259,646	$	160,117

The Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within liabilities in the balance sheets. The Warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of derivative liabilities in the statement of operations.

Table of Contents

Upon consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Public Warrants and a modified Black-Scholes model to value the Private Placement Warrants. The Company allocated the proceeds received from (i) the sale of Units (which is inclusive of one share of the Class A Common Stock and one-half of one Public Warrant), (ii) the sale of the Private Placement Warrants and (iii) the issuance of the Class B Common Stock, first to the Warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds allocated to the Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption (temporary equity), the Class A Common Stock (permanent equity) and the Class B Common Stock (permanent equity) based on their relative fair values at the initial measurement date. At the initial measurement date, the Warrants were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the measurement dates due to the use of unobservable inputs.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Public Warrants were valued using the publicly available price for the Warrant and are classified as Level 1 on the Fair Value Hierarchy. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company used a modified Black-Scholes model to value the Private Placement Warrants. The Company relied upon the implied volatility of the Public Warrants and the implied volatilities of comparable companies and the closing price as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, per Public Warrant to estimate the volatility for the Private Placement Warrants. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.

As of March 31, 2024, the fair value of the First Extension Note is the aggregate of (i) the liquidation-adjusted present value of the straight debt, discounted by a six-month risk-free yield of 5.4% and spread on extrapolatable corporate bonds of 8.0% prevalent at the time of valuation; (ii) the liquidation-adjusted fair value of the call option using the Black-Scholes method taking the stock price $10.94, six-month risk-free yield of 5.4% and volatility of 17.9% observed in extrapolatable benchmarks, prevalent at the time of the valuation; and (iii) the fair value of the warrants derived at $0.03 from the convertible units. The assumption for the probably of a business combination is 50%.

As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the First Extension Note is the aggregate of (i) the liquidation-adjusted present value of the straight debt, discounted by a six-month risk-free yield of 5.5% and spread on extrapolatable corporate bonds of 8.6% prevalent at the time of valuation; (ii) the liquidation-adjusted fair value of the call option using the Black-Scholes method taking the stock price $11.40, six-month risk-free yield of 5.5% and volatility of 19.4% observed in extrapolatable benchmarks, prevalent at the time of the valuation; and (iii) the fair value of the warrants derived at $0.02 from the convertible units. The assumption for the probably of a business combination is 50%.

There can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company’s plan to regain compliance or that the Company will be successful in implementing its plan to regain compliance with the Rule, by filing the Report with the SEC.

Previous to this, and as reported by the Company, on May 7, 2024, Maquia , received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq (the “May 7th Notice”) that Maquia was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2 requiring a special purpose acquisition company must complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement triggering the issuance of a Staff Delisting Determination under Rule 5810 to delist the Company’s securities. The Company has appealed, the hearing for which is currently set for June 20, 2024.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements in this section regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward- looking statements. When used in this Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report.

Recent Developments

OnTermination ~~August 8, 2023, the Company, Maquia Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary~~ of ~~the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Immersed Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Immersed”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “~~Business ~~Combination~~ ~~Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and Immersed agreed to combine. Pursuant to the Business~~ Combination Agreement, on the date (the “Closing Date”) of the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Proposed Transactions”), Merger Sub, a newly formed, wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Maquia, will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Maquia (the “Surviving Corporation”). The consideration is $150,000,000 and will be paid at closing in shares of Maquia at a per share price equal to the then applicable redemption price.

Results of Operations

We have not generated any revenues to date, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination. Our entire activity up to ~~September 30~~March 31, ~~2023~~2024 was related to our formation, our initial public offering and, since the closing of our initial public offering, a search for an initial business combination target. We have, and expect to continue to generate, non-operating income in the form of interest income and unrealized gains on investments held in the trust account. We expect to continue to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with the search for an initial business combination target.

1For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $162,958, which primarily consisted of general and administrative expenses of $237,978, loss on change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities of $45,744 and income taxes of $33,733, partially offset by unrealized gains on investments of $154,497.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had net loss of $1,210,406, which primarily consisted of change in fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities of $243,846, change in fair value of debt of $765,292, general and administrative expenses of $816,532 and income tax expense of $263,259, partially offset by unrealized gains on investments of $878,523.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $7,236,403, which primarily consisted of change in fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities of $4,235,097, unrealized gain on fair value of debt of $2,759,981 and unrealized gain on the Trust assets of $1,108,337, partially offset by operating expenses of $664,481 and tax expense of $202,531.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Prior to the consummation of our initial public offering, our only source of liquidity was the initial sale of the Founder Shares to our Sponsor and advances under the promissory note with our ~~Sponsor~~sponsor.

Pursuant to our initial public offering, which was consummated in May 2021, the Company sold 17,309,719 units, which includes underwriters’ over-allotment, at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit generating gross proceeds to us in the amount of $173.1 million. Each unit consists of one share of our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-half of one public warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 583,743 placement units, which includes underwriters’ over-allotment, to our ~~Sponsor~~sponsor at a purchase price of $10.00 per placement unit, generating gross proceeds to us in the amount of $5,837,430.

Table of Contents

A portion of the proceeds from the placement units was added to the proceeds from our initial public offering held in the trust account. If we do not complete an initial business combination by the end of the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the placement units held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of the public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the placement units will be worthless.

As indicated in the accompanying ~~consolidated~~ financial statements, at ~~September 30~~March 31, ~~2023~~2024, we had $2196,~~371~~833 in cash, and a working capital deficiency of $4,~~111~~145,~~991~~758.

We presently have no operating revenue. Through ~~September 30~~March 31, ~~2023~~2024, our liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $475,500 held outside of the trust account from the sale of the placement warrants upon the closing of our initial public offering ~~and various loans and advances from our Sponsor as described below~~. In the future, a portion of interest income on the funds held in the trust account may be released to us to pay tax obligations.

2In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor, or our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of an initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes and any other loans made by our sponsor or its affiliates (including the loans made to effectuate extensions as described below), our officers and directors, or our company and its affiliates prior to or in connection with an initial business combination may be converted upon consummation of an initial business combination into additional placement units at a price of $10.00 per placement unit. In the event that an initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the trust account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

On May 3, 2022 the Company issued a convertible note payable (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $1,730,972 (the “Extension Payment”) to the Sponsor in connection with the First Extension. The Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company’s initial business combination is consummated and (ii) the liquidation of the Company. At the election of the Sponsor, up to $1,500,000 of the unpaid principal amount of the Note may be converted into units of the Company (the “Conversion Units”) with the total Conversion Units so issued shall be equal to: (x) the portion of the principal amount of the Note being converted divided by (y) the conversion price of ten dollars ($10.00), rounded up to the nearest whole number of units. On August 4, 2022, the Company amended and restated the Note (the “Amended Note”) in its entirety solely to increase the principal amount thereunder from $1,730,972 to $3,461,944.

On November 14, 2022, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of up to $955,748 to the Sponsor as a result of stockholder approval of the Second Extension and the Company’s implementation thereof, pursuant to which the Sponsor loaned to the Company up to an aggregate of $955,748 (the “Second Extension Funds”) to deposit into the Company’s trust account for each share of the Company’s Class A common stock that was not redeemed in connection with the Second Extension. The outstanding balance under the Second Extension Loan was $955,748 as of September 30, 2023.

On May 22, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $245,412 to the Sponsor in connection with the Third Extension, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to the Company up to $245,412 to deposit into the Company’s Trust Account for the Public Shares, for each calendar month (commencing on May 7, 2023 and each month thereafter) until February 7, 2024, with each monthly contribution being $27,268 based on 1,090,718 Public Shares outstanding following the approval of the Third Extension. The outstanding balance under the Third Extension Loan was $136,340 as of September 30, 2023.

On May 22, 2023, the Company also issued a promissory note (the “May Working Capital Note”) in the principal amount of $250,000 to the Sponsor to fund the Company’s ongoing working capital needs. The May Working Capital Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company’s initial business combination is consummated and (ii) the liquidation of the Company. The outstanding balance as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $210,339 and $0, respectively

On August 2, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note (the “August Working Capital Note”) in the principal amount of up to $150,000 to the Sponsor to fund the Company’s ongoing working capital needs. The August Working Capital Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company’s initial business combination is consummated and (ii) the liquidation of the Company.

We may also need to obtain additional financing either to complete a business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of shares of our Class A common stock upon completion of the business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with the business combination.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s ASC Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” the Company ~~has~~is ~~until~~a ~~February 7,~~Special ~~2024,~~Purpose toAcquisition ~~consummate~~Corporation anthat ~~initial~~was ~~business~~formed ~~combination.~~for Itthe ispurpose ~~uncertain that~~of ~~the~~completing ~~Company~~a ~~will~~merger, becapital ~~able~~stock toexchange, ~~consummate~~asset anacquisition, ~~initial~~stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination bywith ~~this~~one ~~time.~~or Ifmore anbusinesses ~~initial~~or ~~business~~entities ~~combination~~on or before August 7, 2024.

There is no assurance that our plans to consummate an initial business combination will be successful by ~~February~~August 7, 2024. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In connection with the First Extension (as defined below), the Sponsor loaned to the Company an aggregate of $3,461,944, which amount was deposited into the Trust Account. The loan is non-interest bearing and will be payable upon the earlier of consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and its winding up. At the election of the Sponsor, up to $1,500,000 of the loan is convertible into units of the Company identical to the units issued to the Sponsor in the private placement concurrent with the Company’s Initial Public Offering, at a conversion price of $10 per unit.

~~Critical~~In ~~Accounting~~connection ~~Policies~~with the Second Extension (as defined below), the Sponsor made six monthly contributions of $159,291, for a total of $955,746 in contributions through May 7, 2023, which amount was contributed to the Trust Account. In connection with the Third Extension (as defined below), the Sponsor or its designees have agreed to contribute to the Company as a loan an aggregate of $0.025 for each share of Class A commons stock that is not redeemed, for each calendar month (commencing on May 7, 2023 and each month thereafter) until February 7, 2024, with each monthly contribution being $27,267.95 based on 1,090,718 Public Shares outstanding following the approval of the Third Extension

WeOn ~~have~~February ~~identified~~5, 2024, in connection with the ~~following~~ Fourth extension, the Company held a Special Meeting at which time the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from February 7, 2024 to August 7, 2024 (or such earlier date as ~~our~~determined ~~critical~~by ~~accounting~~the ~~policies:~~Board). The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on Feb 7,

~~Use of Estimates~~2

~~The~~Table ~~preparation~~ of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our 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 expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.Contents

2024. In connection with this extension, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a non-redemption agreement with one or more unaffiliated third party or parties in exchange for such third party or third parties agreeing not to redeem an aggregate of 538,093 shares of Maquia Class A Common Stock ~~Subject~~sold in the IPO (“Non-Redeemed Shares”). In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to ~~Possible~~redeem ~~Redemption~~such Non-Redeemed Shares, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to such Third Parties 2.5% per month of the Non-Redeemed Shares up to a maximum of 6 months (depending upon the month the initial business combination is consummated), of the Company’s Class A common stock held by such Third Parties, immediately following the consummation of an initial business combination, if the Third Parties continue to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Fourth Extension Meeting. In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, public stockholders holding 93,402 of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001, properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for a cash payment out of the Company’s trust account in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal leaving a balance of 997,316 class A Common shares in the hands of the Public Shareholders.

~~Founder~~Our ~~shares~~management’s ~~subject~~discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to ~~forfeiture~~ make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. These items are ~~not~~monitored ~~included~~and analyzed by us for changes in ~~weighted~~facts ~~average~~and ~~shares~~circumstances, ~~outstanding~~and ~~until~~material changes in these estimates could occur in the ~~forfeiture~~future. ~~restrictions~~We ~~lapse~~base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

4Our critical accounting estimates have not changed materially from those previously reported in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023, on Form 10-K.

Financial Instruments

We determine fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or instruments in active markets.

Level 2 Inputs: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 Inputs: Significant inputs into the valuation model are unobservable.

We do not have any recurring Level 2 assets or liabilities, see Note 9 of the financial statements for recurring Level 3 liabilities. The carrying value of our financial instruments including its cash and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values principally because of their short-term nature.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We evaluate our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Our derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as of the closing date of our initial public offering (i.e., May 7, 2021) and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within twelve (12) months of the balance sheet date. We have determined that the public warrants and the placement warrants are derivative instruments. As the public warrants and the placement warrants meet the definition of a derivative, the public warrants and the placement warrants are measured at fair value at issuance and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations in the period of change.

Warrant Instruments

We account for the public warrants and the placement warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering and the private placement, respectively, in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” whereby under that provision the public warrants and the placement warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability will be re-measured at each balance sheet date until the public warrants and the placement warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of the public warrants and the placement warrants will be estimated using an internal valuation model. Our valuation model utilizes inputs and other assumptions and may not be reflective of the price at which they can be settled. Such warrant classification is also subject to re-evaluation at each reporting period.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended ~~September 30~~March 31, ~~2023~~2024, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

design and maintain an effective control environment to prevent or detect material misstatements in the financial statements. The following material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting were identified:

●

Controls over the identification, accounting and reporting for complex financial instruments.

●

Controls over calculation and reporting for income taxes.

●

Controls over the protection of funds permitted for withdrawal from the trust, including both the timely payment of income and other tax liabilities and ineffective oversight by the board and our management relating to the Company recurring non- compliance with an investment management trust agreement

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 management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management has expended, and will continue to expend, a substantial amount of effort and resources for the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to properly identify and evaluate the appropriate accounting technical pronouncements and other literature for all significant or unusual transactions, we have expanded and will continue to improve these processes to ensure that the nuances of such transactions are effectively evaluated in the context of the increasingly complex accounting standards.

PART 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~~date ~~Act,~~of ~~we are not required to include risk factors in~~ this Report., Asother ofthan ~~the~~as ~~date~~set offorth ~~this Report~~below, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our (i) Registration Statement on Form S-1 initially filed with the SEC on February 16, 2021, as amended, and declared effective on May 4, 2021 (File No. 333-253167) (the “Registration Statement”), (ii) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on April 4, 2023, (iii) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022, ~~and March 31, 2023,~~ as filed with the SEC on May 10, 2022, August 16, 2022, and November 10, 2022 ~~and May 22~~, ~~2023,~~ respectively , ~~and~~ (iv) DEF 14A as filed with the SEC on April 24, 2023 and Amendment No. 2 to the S4 Registrations Statement filed April 19, 2024. 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. ~~For risks relating to the Merger, please see the proxy statement/prospectus included in a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed by the Company in connection thereto, once available.~~

Market conditions, economic uncertainty or downturns could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and our ability to consummate a business combination.

In recent years, the United States and other markets have experienced cyclical or episodic downturns, and worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions, the Ukraine-Russia conflict, instability in the U.S. and global banking systems, rising fuel prices, increasing interest rates or foreign exchange rates and high inflation and the possibility of a recession. A significant downturn in economic conditions may make it more difficult for us to consummate a business combination.

We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any future economic slowdown or any subsequent recovery generally, or in any industry. If the conditions in the general economy and the markets in which we operate worsen from present levels, our business, financial condition, operating results and our ability to consummate a business combination could be adversely affected. For example, in January 2023, the outstanding national debt of the U.S. government reached its statutory limit. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury Department”) has announced that, since then, it has been using extraordinary measures to prevent the U.S. government’s default on its payment obligations, and to extend the time that the U.S. government has to raise its statutory debt limit or otherwise resolve its funding situation. The failure by Congress to raise the federal debt ceiling could have severe repercussions within the U.S. and to global credit and financial markets. If Congress does not raise the debt ceiling, the U.S. government could default on its payment obligations, or experience delays in making payments when due. A payment default or delay by the U.S. government, or continued uncertainty surrounding the U.S. debt ceiling, could result in a variety of adverse effects for financial markets, market participants and U.S. and global economic conditions. In addition, U.S. debt ceiling and budget deficit concerns have increased the possibility a downgrade in the credit rating of the U.S. government and could result in economic slowdowns or a recession in the U.S. Although U.S. lawmakers have passed legislation to raise the federal debt ceiling on multiple occasions, ratings agencies have lowered or threatened to lower the long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States as a result of disputes over the debt ceiling. The impact of a potential downgrade to the U.S. government’s sovereign credit rating or its perceived creditworthiness could adversely affect economic conditions, as well as our business, financial condition, operating results and our ability to consummate a business combination.

The termination of the business combination agreement with Immersed, Inc. Will severely limit the company’s ability to consummate a business combination with a new target prior to August 7, 2024.

As reported above, the business combination agreement with Immersed Inc was mutually terminated on May 20, 2024. Pursuant to our charter we must complete a business combination no later than August 7, 2024. To accomplish this the Company must locate a suitable target, engage that target with a business combination agreement, and submit the matter to shareholders for approval prior to August 7, 2024. Failure to do this will result in the liquidation of the Company unless the August 7, 2024 date is further extended. In addition, Nasdaq has determined to delist the company for failure to complete a business combination within 36 months of the effective date of its IPO. Although the company has appealed this determination and seeks to extend the completion date to November 7, 2024, there can be no assurance that NASDAQ will grant this extension request. Because of the time limitations and the potential for delisting,

the Company faces significant limitations on its ability to complete the business combination in a timely manner and thus may be forced to liquidate.

Should NASDAQ finally determine to delist the company’s securities, it will have a serious impact on the company’s ability to complete a business combination.

Maquia is subject to compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements in order to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq. Maquia expects that if the Maquia Class A Common Stock fails to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, the Maquia Units and Maquia Warrants will also fail to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements for those securities. If Maquia’s securities do not meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, Nasdaq may delist such securities from trading on its exchange.

The May 7th Notice also indicated that on January 8, 2024 (as reported on the Company’s January 12, 2024 8-K), the Company failed to hold an annual meeting of stockholders within the required twelve-month period of the end of the Company’s fiscal year end. As noted in the Company’s 8-K filed May 21, 2024, the Company held its annual meeting on May 20, 2024 in compliance with the Listing Rule. On June 3, 2024, the Company was advised by the Nasdag Listing Qualifications Department that Nasdaq rules require companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a minimum of 300 public holders for continued listing, and requested that the Company provide a certified list of Maquia shareholders. The Company is in the process of securing the requested report from the Company’s transfer agent and, to the Company’s present knowledge, it now satisfies the 300 public shareholder threshold.

If Nasdaq delists any of Maquia’s securities from trading on its exchange and Maquia is not able to list such securities on another national securities exchange, Maquia expects such securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, Maquia could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

●

our ability to complete an initial Business Combination with a target company contemplating a Nasdaq listing, including the Business Combination;

●

a limited availability of market quotations for Maquia’s securities;

●

reduced liquidity for Maquia’s securities;

●

a determination that the Maquia Class A Common Stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in Maquia Class A Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for Maquia’s securities;

●

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

●

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
