PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Everest Consolidator Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”) by the prescribed due date because the Company and its independent registered public accounting firm require additional time to complete the review of the unaudited condensed financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and finalize the disclosures required to be included in the Form 10-Q. The Company is working diligently to complete the Form 10-Q and anticipates that it will file the Form 10-Q within the five calendar-day extension period permitted pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

The Company expects to disclose in the 10-Q that management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition and potential mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, assuming a Business Combination is not consummated before August 28, 2024, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company also expects to disclose the ongoing remediation activities relating to its existing material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, as previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2024 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 16, 2024.

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed?

          x Yes    o  No
           
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

  If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

The Company expects to report for the three months ended March 31, 2024, it had a net loss of $1,199,055, which consists of investment income held in the Trust Account of $1,634,399, offset by general and administrative expenses of $2,062,840, expense of $137,622 related to the increase in conditional guarantee balance, interest expense of $184,500, and the provision for income taxes of $448,492. Of the $2,062,840 of general and administrative expenses, approximately $1.6 million relate to business combination costs and the remaining approximately $0.4 million consisted of operating expenses, including but not limited to legal, accounting, and insurance costs.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $857,507, which consists of investment income held in Trust Account of $1,897,729, offset by general and administrative expenses of $2,373,223 and the provision for income taxes of $382,013. General and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted of operating expenses, including but not limited to legal, accounting, and insurance costs, and costs to identify an acquisition target.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the net loss increased to $1,199,055, as compared to $857,507 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to the decrease in dividend and interest income and the increase in income tax expense, partially offset by the decrease in general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the dividend and interest income decreased to $1,634,399, as compared to $1,897,729 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to the decrease in the principal balance in the Trust Account which resulted from the August 2023 and February 2024 redemptions. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the income tax expense increased to $448,492, as compared to $382,013 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to interest and penalties of $119,958 on unremitted income tax liabilities. General and administrative costs remained consistent during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to the Company’s continued efforts towards completion of the Unifund Business Combination.

 

The Company expects to report that, as of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $26,973 held outside of the Trust Account (reserved for tax payment) and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $83,596,299 consisting of securities held in a mutual fund that invests in U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of 180 days or less, and that the Company had a working capital deficit of working capital deficit of $23,339,527. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay income and franchise taxes.

 

The preliminary amounts reported above are still under review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and accounting staff and may differ once reported in the Form 10-Q to be filed by the Company.
