NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Globis Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 21, 2020. The Company is a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”).
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 has one wholly owned subsidiary, Globis NV Merger Corp., which was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 5, 2022.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from August 21, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, search for a Business Combination and activities in connection with the proposed acquisition of Forafric Agro Holdings Limited, a Gibraltar private company limited by shares (“FAHL”) (see Note 6). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds held in the Trust Account.
The
registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 10, 2020. On December 15, 2020,
the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $ per Private Warrant and units (the “Placement Units” and, together with the Private Warrants, the “Private Securities”) at a price of $ per Placement Unit in a private placement to Globis SPAC LLC and Up and Up Capital, LLC, an affiliate of Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, the representative of the underwriters (“Up and Up” and, collectively with Globis SPAC LLC, the “Sponsors”), which is described in Note 4.
Transaction
costs amounted to $
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering on December 15, 2020, an amount of $
The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
and the sale of the Private Securities, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing
a Business Combination. The Company must complete a Business Combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least
The 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. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $ per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax or dissolution obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

The
Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $
Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Sponsors and the Company’s officers and directors will agree (a) to waive redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares, Placement Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination and certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
The
Company initially had until December 15, 2021 to complete a Business Combination. The Company may, by resolution of the board of directors
if requested by Globis SPAC LLC, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to two times, each by an additional
three months (up until June 15, 2022), subject to the deposit of additional funds into the Trust Account by one or both of the Sponsors
or their affiliates or designees (the “Combination Period”). The Company’s stockholders will not be entitled to vote
or redeem their shares in connection with any such extension.
On
December 10, 2021, the Company drew down $
The holders of the Founder Shares and Placement Shares have agreed to waive liquidation rights with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsors acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the equity participation shares (see Note 6) 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 other 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 per share value deposited into the Trust Account ($ ).

In
order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsors will agree to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any
claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has
discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $
Liquidity
The
Company has principally financed its operations from inception using proceeds from the sale of its equity securities to its stockholders
prior to the Initial Public Offering and such amount of proceeds from the Initial Public Offering that were placed in an account outside
of the Trust Account for working capital purposes. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $
The Company may raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsors, officers, directors, or their affiliates. Other than as described above and in Note 5, the Company’s officers, directors and the Sponsors and their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs.
The
Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet expenditures required for operating its business following
its issuance of an unsecured promissory note on January 11, 2021, as amended (the “Note”) to Globis SPAC LLC (the “Lender”),
providing for borrowings from time to time of up to an aggregate of $
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in 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.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 11, 2022. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future periods.

(UNAUDITED)
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which invest in U.S. Treasury securities. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the common stock subject to possible redemption reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets is reconciled in the following table:

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC
740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an company’s financial statements and prescribes
a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination
by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.

The
Company’s currently taxable income primarily consists of interest income on the Trust Account. The Company’s operational
costs are generally considered start-up costs and are not currently deductible. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021,
the Company recorded
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted loss per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering and (ii) the private placement, as described in Note 5, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase shares of common stock in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any other dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net loss per share of common stock is the same as basic net loss per share of common stock for the periods presented.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDER’S DEFICIT
Preferred Stock — On December 10, 2020, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation such that it is now authorized to issue up to shares of preferred stock with a par value of $ per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue shares of common stock with a par value of $ per share. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were shares of common stock issued and outstanding, excluding shares of common stock subject to possible redemption which are presented as temporary equity.
Warrants
— At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were
The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within 90 days from the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act provided that such exemption is available.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:
● | in whole and not in part; | |
● | at
a price of $ | |
● | at any time while the warrants are exercisable; | |
● | upon
not less than | |
● | if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the shares of common stock equals or exceeds $ per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations), for any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders; and | |
● | if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption. |
If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.
The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
In
addition, if (x) the Company issues additional common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with
the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $
The Private Warrants and Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants and the Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis, non-redeemable and holders of the Private Warrants and the Placement Warrants have the option to calculate the fair market value based upon the last reported sale price of the shares of common stock for the trading day prior to the date of exercise in lieu of the average reported last sale price of the shares of common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date of exercise.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
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 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 the Company’s 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 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 21, 2020, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination (as defined below) using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 11,500,000 units (the “Units,” which included the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit) and the sale of 4,188,889 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $0.75 per Private Warrant and 100,833 units (the “Placement Units” and, together with the Private Warrants, the “Private Securities”), our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant and each whole Private Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.
Recent Developments
Proposed Business Combination
On December 19, 2021, the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, Forafric Agro Holdings Limited, a Gibraltar private company limited by shares (“FAHL”) and Lighthouse Capital Limited, a Gibraltar private company limited by shares (the “Seller”). On April 20, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement, with FAHL, the Seller and Globis NV Merger Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Globis Nevada”), which provides for the consummation of the following series of separate transactions (collectively, the “Business Combination”): (i) Globis Nevada will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by transferring by way of a redomiciliation and domesticating as a Gibraltar private limited company known as “Forafric Global Limited” (the “Redomiciliation”) and, following the Redomiciliation, altering its authorized and issued share capital and thereafter re-registering as a Gibraltar public company limited by shares and changing its name to “Forafric Global PLC” (referred to herein as “New Forafric”); (ii) New Forafric will form a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Globis NV Merger 2 Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Sub”); (iii) the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving (the “Merger”); (iv) immediately following the effectiveness of the Merger, all of the common stock of Merger Sub issued pursuant to the Merger shall be contributed to New Forafric; and (v) as soon as practicable thereafter New Forafric will acquire 100% of the equity interests in FAHL from the Seller and FAHL will become a direct subsidiary of New Forafric.
As a result of the Merger prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (i) the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock will be exchanged, on a one-for-one basis, into Ordinary Shares, nominal value $0.001 per share of New Forafric (the “Ordinary Shares”); (ii) the Company’s issued and outstanding redeemable warrants that were registered pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (SEC File No. 333-250939) will automatically become redeemable warrants to acquire Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $11.50 per share; (iii) each issued and outstanding warrant of the Company issued in a private placement will automatically become warrants to acquire Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable warrant agreement (no other changes will be made to the terms of any issued and outstanding private placement warrants as a result of the Merger); and (iv) each of the Company’s issued and outstanding Units that has not been previously separated into the underlying common stock and underlying warrant upon the request of the holder thereof, will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one Ordinary Share and one redeemable warrant to acquire one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.
The total consideration to be paid to the Seller in the Business Combination will be (i) 15,100,000 Ordinary Shares, subject to reduction to the extent that the Closing Payment (as defined below) is less than $0, provided that Seller may be issued up to 1,904,762 additional Ordinary Shares determined based on the amount of Remaining Cash (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) at the Closing; plus (ii) the Closing Payment equal to $20,000,000 minus the outstanding amount of all Funded Debt (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) as of the Closing (other than Permitted Debt); provided that Seller may receive up to an additional $20,000,000 determined based on the amount of Remaining Cash at the Closing. The Closing Payment will be funded by remaining funds in the Trust Account after giving effect to any Buyer Share Redemptions (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and the proceeds of any potential private placement financing.
15 |
In addition, the Seller is also entitled to receive, up to 2,000,000 Ordinary Shares (the “Earnout Shares”), subject to New Forafric achieving certain performance and share price thresholds prior to certain future dates, in each case as described in the Business Combination Agreement. The Seller will also be entitled to receive, as additional consideration, 20% of any cash proceeds received by New Forafric from the exercise of outstanding warrants.
PIPE Subscription Agreement
In connection with the Business Combination, on December 31, 2021, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “PIPE Subscription Agreement”) with an accredited investor (the “PIPE Investor”) pursuant to which the PIPE Investor will purchase ordinary shares of New Forafric in a private placement following the Redomiciliation and the Merger and prior to the closing of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreement, the PIPE Investor will purchase, at a purchase price of $10.50 per share, a number of Ordinary Shares (the “PIPE Shares”) that will be equal to the lesser of (i) 4.99% of all issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, after taking into account the completion of the Business Combination and all Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the FAHL Bonds (defined below) and other related subscription agreements, if any, and (ii) 1,904,761 Ordinary Shares (the “PIPE Investment”); accordingly, the maximum aggregate amount to be paid by the PIPE Investor for the PIPE Shares is approximately $20 million. The purpose of the sale of the PIPE Shares is to raise additional capital for use in connection with the Business Combination. The closing of the sale of the PIPE Investment is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination.
Convertible Bonds Offering
In connection with the proposed Business Combination, between December 31, 2021 and January 19, 2022, investors (each, a “Bond Investor”) subscribed for convertible bonds of FAHL in an aggregate principal amount of $12 million in private offerings, and issued pursuant to a bond subscription deed among FAHL, the Seller and the Bond Investors. The FAHL Bonds are unsecured obligations of FAHL and are not transferable without the consent of FAHL. Unless earlier converted or redeemed in accordance with the terms of the FAHL Bonds, the FAHL Bonds will mature and be redeemed on June 15, 2026. Interest accrues on the FAHL Bonds at a rate of 6% per annum and the Bond Investors are entitled to certain customary information rights. Pursuant to the current terms of the FAHL Bonds, upon consummation of the Business Combination, the FAHL Bonds will automatically convert into ordinary shares of New Forafric at a price per share that is a 10% discount to the PIPE Investment, subject to certain adjustments. The number of Ordinary Shares will be equal to the quotient that results from dividing the aggregate principal amount of the respective FAHL Bond by $9.45, subject to certain adjustments. The Bond Investors include affiliates Up and Up Capital, LLC and Globis SPAC LLC, the Sponsors of the Company, who have subscribed for an aggregate principal amount of $9.5 million of the FAHL Bonds, convertible into approximately one million ordinary shares of New Forafric.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through December 31, 2021 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and to search for a Business Combination and activities in connection with the proposed acquisition of FAHL. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $1,056,171, which consisted of general and administrative expenses of $1,065,825, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $9,654. The increase in general and administrative expenses was a result of an increase in legal fees incurred in connection with our proposed Business Combination.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $363,959, which consisted of general and administrative expenses of $366,035, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,076.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On December 15, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 Units, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 4,188,889 Private Warrants to the Sponsors at a price of $0.75 per Private Warrant and 100,833 Placement Units to the Sponsors at a price of $10.00 per Placement Units, generating gross proceeds of $4,150,000.
16 |
Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Securities, a total of $116,150,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $6,541,841 in transaction costs, including $2,300,000 of underwriting fees, $4,025,000 representing 402,500 shares of common stock issued, which the underwriters are entitled to receive upon the consummation of a Business Combination (the “equity participation shares”) and $216,841 of other offering costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $606,598. Net loss of $1,056,171 was impacted by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $9,654. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $459,227 of cash from operating activities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $273,968. Net loss of $363,959 was impacted by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,076. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $92,067 of cash from operating activities.
As of March 31, 2022, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $118,467,492. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, which interest shall be net of taxes payable, to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes and up to $150,000 of dissolution expenses, if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of March 31, 2022, we had cash of $210. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsors or an affiliate of our Sponsors or certain of 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. If we complete a Business Combination, we may repay the notes out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the notes, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. On January 11, 2021, we issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) to Globis SPAC LLC that permits us to borrow from time to time up to $1,000,000 from Globis SPAC LLC or its assignees or successors. On various dates throughout the year ended December 31, 2021, the Note was amended to allow borrowings of up to $5,000,000 and in January 2022, the Note was further amended to increase the principal amount to $7,000,000. The Note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of a Business Combination. As of March 31, 2022, the total amount outstanding under the Working Capital Loans was $4,327,300.
We currently do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and consummating 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 initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2022. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated 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, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of Globis SPAC LLC a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, secretarial, and administrative support services provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on December 15, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.
The underwriters are entitled to receive 402,500 equity participation shares upon the consummation of a Business Combination. The equity participation shares have been placed in escrow until the consummation of a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated, the equity participation shares will be forfeited by the underwriters. The fair value of the equity participation shares is estimated to be $4,025,000, based upon the offering price of the Units of $10.00 per Unit.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We recognize changes in redemption value as they occur and adjust the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value of $3,666,841. Subsequently, we recognized accretion from adjusted book value to redemption amount value of $2,300,000. The change in the carrying value of redeemable common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
Net Loss Per Common Share
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted loss per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the Private Placement since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 15,789,722 shares of common stock in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, we did not have any other dilutive securities or other agreements that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net loss per share of common stock is the same as basic net loss per share of common stock for the periods presented.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
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 March 31, 2022. 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 not effective, due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s accounting for complex financial instruments. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Management has identified a material weakness in internal controls related to the accounting for complex financial instruments. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to continue to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that apply to our financial statements, including through enhanced analyses by our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 that haave materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
