Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on July 20, 2020 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses or IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2023 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below, and since the IPO, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds of the IPO placed in the Trust Account. We expect that we will 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 searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $245,103, which primarily consists of operating expenses of $468,603, Delaware franchise taxes of $50,000 and provision for income taxes $30,159, partially offset by net income from interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $301,261 and interest income from bank of $2,398.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $496,131, which primarily consists of operating expenses of $896,747, Delaware franchise taxes of $102,187 and provision for income taxes $106,493, partially offset by net income from interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $601,523 and interest income from bank of $7,773.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $201,952, which primarily consists of operating expenses of $294,595, accrual of Delaware franchise taxes of $50,000 and provision for income taxes of $14,413, offset by net income from interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $157,056.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $491,144, which primarily consists of operating expenses of $548,212, accrual of Delaware franchise taxes of $102,187 and provision for income taxes of $14,413, offset by net income from interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $173,668.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On October 29, 2021, we consummated the IPO of 11,000 units and on November 5, 2021 the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option for an additional 1,650,000 units, in each case, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $126,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of 2,210,667 private placement warrants to the sponsor at a price of $1.50 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $3,316,000. In connection with the exercise of the Over-Allotment, our sponsor purchased an additional 110,000 private placement warrants at $1.50 per warrant for additional proceeds of $165,000.

Following the closing of the IPO and the Over-Allotment, $127,765,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account and will be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d) (3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account. We incurred $2,654,349, consisting of 1,466,667 Private Placement Warrants valued at $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant or $2,200,000 of underwriting fees and $454,349 of other costs. Offering costs for the Over-Allotment amounted to $330,000 consisting of 220,000 Private Placement Warrants valued at $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant or $330,000 of underwriting fees.

On December 20, 2022, the Company held a Special Meeting in lieu of an Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting stockholders voted on and approved an amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the deadline by which the Company must complete an initial business combination from April 29, 2023 to October 30, 2023. In connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment, the Company was required to give holders of its Class A Common Stock the right to redeem their shares. Holders of an aggregate 10,170,490 shares of Class A Common Stock exercised their redemption rights and did not subsequently reverse that decision.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, cash used in operating activities was $1,146,376 and $414,714, respectively.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $187,741 in cash, $51,910 in investment in mutual funds, $25,802,677 in cash held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its Class A Common Stock in connection therewith and working capital of $416,168, net of franchise taxes payable and income taxes payable. Management expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. The Company believes it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business and to consummate a business combination. If the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, the Company will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following the Business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, the Company may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs, obtain approval for an extension of the deadline or complete a Business Combination by October 30, 2023, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by the specified period. If a Business Combination is not consummated by October 30, 2023, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date that these unaudited condensed financial statements are issued. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2023. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

The underwriters were paid an underwriting fee consisting of 1,686,667 warrants (as the over- allotment option was exercised in full) valued at $1.50 per warrant or $2,530,000 under the same terms as the Private Placement Warrants.

JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

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

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of unaudited 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 unaudited condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of June 30, 2023, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. The net proceeds held in the Trust Account have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in certain money market funds that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are 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, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The securities in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1. The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on October 26, 2021. On October 29, 2021, OPY Acquisition Corp. I (the “Company”) the Company consummated the IPO of 11,000,000 units (“Units”) with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered (the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $110,000,000. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 2,100,667 private placement warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, OPY Acquisition LLC I (the “Sponsor”) generating gross proceeds of $3,051,000.

Offering costs for the IPO amounted to $2,654,349, consisting of 1,466,667 Private Placement Warrants valued at $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant or $2,200,000 of underwriting fees and $454,349 of other costs. Offering costs for the Over-Allotment amounted to $330,000 consisting of 220,000 Private Placement Warrants valued at $1.50 per Private Warrant or $330,000 of underwriting fees.

Following the closing of the IPO, $111,100,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and was invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d) (3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account.

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,650,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On November 5, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised the Over-Allotment Option and purchased 1,650,000 additional Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of $16,500,000.

Upon the closing of the Over-Allotment Option on November 5, 2021, the Company consummated a private sale of an additional 110,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $165,000. As of November 5, 2021, a total of $127,765,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO (including the Over-allotment Units) and the sale of Private Placement Warrants was placed in a U.S. based trust account. As the underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option was exercised in full, 412,500 shares owned by the sponsor are no longer subject to forfeiture.
