DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (AS RESTATED) | NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (AS RESTATED) Organization and General Metal Sky Star Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on May 5, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). The Company’s efforts in identifying prospective target businesses will not be limited to a particular geographic region. 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. The Company’s sponsor is M-Star Management Corporation, a British Virgin Islands incorporated company (the “Sponsor”). At March 31, 2023, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through March 31, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“IPO”) and its Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year-end. The Company will have 9 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 22 months from the closing of our initial public offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination) to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period, it will trigger its automatic winding up, liquidation and subsequent dissolution pursuant to the terms of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. As a result, this has the same effect as if the Company had formally gone through a voluntary liquidation procedure under the Companies Law. Accordingly, no vote would be required from the Company’s shareholders to commence such a voluntary winding up, liquidation and subsequent dissolution. On April 5, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 11,500,000 1,500,000 10.00 115,000,000 The Trust Account As of April 5, 2022, a total of $ 115,682,250 115,000,000 58,200,919 116,673,481 The funds held In the Trust Account will be invested only in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act and that invest solely in United States government treasuries. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its income or other tax obligations, the proceeds will not be released from the Trust Account until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation. Liquidity On April 5, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 11,500,000 10.00 115,000,000 Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company sold to its Sponsor 330,000 10.00 3,300,000 Offering costs amounted to $ 5,704,741 2,300,000 2,875,000 529,741 25,000 115,682,250 As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $ 132,368 178,652 In September 2021, the Company repurchased 1,437,500 25,000 2,875,000 25,000 375,000 20 Going Concern and Management Liquidity Plan As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $ 132,368 949,497 The Company’s liquidity needs up to the closing of the IPO on April 5, 2022 had been satisfied through proceeds from notes payable and advances from related party and from the issuance of common stock. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with working capital. The Company’s management plans to continue its efforts to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period after the closing of the Initial Public Offering. If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain other financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. If we are unable to complete our business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) issued by Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” management has determined that mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements. Restatement on Previously Issued Financial Statements In connection with the preparation of the 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, management of the Company identified that cash held in Trust Account (marketable securities held in Trust Account) and deferred underwriting commissions were improperly classified as current assets and current liabilities instead of noncurrent assets and noncurrent liabilities, respectively. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 210 Balance Sheet, the fund held in the Trust Account should not be classified as current assets as it will be used for other than current operation purposes, and deferred offering commissions should not be classified as current liabilities as it will be settled out of the funds held in the Trust Account, the misclassification resulted in an overstatement of current assets and current liabilities, and an understatement of non-current assets and non-current liabilities as of April 5, 2022, June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
