EXPLANATORY NOTE
On July 12, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a Monterey Capital Acquisition Corporation, “ConnectM,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), consummated its previously announced business combination pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 31, 2022 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Chronos Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and ConnectM Operations, Inc. (f/k/a ConnectM Technology Solutions Inc., “Legacy ConnectM”), following the approval at a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company held on July 10, 2024 (the “Special Meeting”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy ConnectM, with Legacy ConnectM surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “business combination”). On the Closing Date, the Company changed its name from “Monterey Capital Acquisition Corporation” to “ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc.”
Unless the context otherwise requires, the “registrant” and the “Company” refer to MCAC prior to the Closing and to the Combined Company and its subsidiaries following the Closing and “ConnectM” refers to ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc., and its subsidiaries prior to the Closing and the business of the Combined Company and its subsidiaries following the Closing. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K have the same meaning as set forth in the definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 17, 2024 by MCAC.
The Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), is now listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “CNTM”. The Company intends to list the warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”) on the OTC Market. The unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements included herein reflect the operations of ConnectM for prior periods, as ConnectM is the accounting acquirer and predecessor. Until the Merger, MCAC neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue, and based on its business activities, MCAC was a “shell company” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, AND GOING CONCERN
Nature of Operations
ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc. (successor to Monterey Capital Acquisition Corporation [“MCAC”]) (“ConnectM” or the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware company on September 23, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, merging with, engaging in capital stock exchange with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, engaging in contractual arrangements, or engaging in any other similar business combination with a single operating entity, or
The Company selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Business Combination
On July 12, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), MCAC consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination” or “Merger”) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 31, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among MCAC, Chronos Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MCAC prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (“Merger Sub”) and ConnectM Technology Solutions Inc. (“Legacy ConnectM”). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, on the Closing Date, (i) MCAC changed its name to “ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc.” and Legacy ConnectM changed its name to “ConnectM Operations, Inc.,” and (ii) Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy ConnectM, with Legacy ConnectM being the surviving company in the Business Combination. After giving effect to the Business Combination, Legacy ConnectM became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, among other matters, at the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”), (i) each share of Legacy ConnectM common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock at an exchange ratio of

On July 15, 2024, the common stock of the combined company began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “CNTM.”

2023 Equity Incentive Plan
At the Special Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved the ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”), which became effective at the Closing Date. The 2023 Plan allows the Company to grant equity and cash incentive awards to eligible service providers. The 2023 Plan will be administered by the Company’s compensation committee. The administrator of the 2023 Plan will have the authority to, among other things, interpret the plan and award agreements, select grantees, determine the vesting, payment and other terms of awards, and modify or amend awards, and accelerate vesting or exercisability of awards.
Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement
On the Closing Date, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Sponsor, certain prior stockholders of the Company, certain stockholders of Legacy ConnectM, the Company’s officers, directors and holders of
Forward Purchase Agreement
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, MCAC and Meteora Special Opportunity Fund (“Meteora”), entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement for a Forward Purchase Transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Meteora intended to purchase in the open market through a broker shares of Class A Common Stock, after the date of the Forward Purchase Agreement from holders of our Class A Common Stock (other than MCAC or affiliates of MCAC), including from those who have elected to redeem shares of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to the redemption rights set forth in our charter, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, up to a maximum of

On the Closing Date, Meteora purchased
From time to time following the Closing, Meteora could sell Recycled Shares at any time and at any sales price, without payment by Meteora of any Early Termination Obligation (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement), until such time as the proceeds from the sales equal
From time to time following the closing of the merger and prior to the earliest to occur of (a) the third anniversary of the Closing and (b) the date specified by Meteora in a written notice to be delivered to the Company at Meteora’s discretion after the occurrence of any of a (x) Trigger Event (defined below) or (y) Delisting Event (each as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement) (in each case, the “Maturity Date”), Meteora could sell, in its sole discretion, sell some or all of the shares. On the Maturity Date, the escrow agent would have transferred to Meteora an amount in cash equal to the product of (x)(i) the number of shares as set forth in the initial Pricing Date Notice (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement) less (b) the number of Terminated Shares (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement) (the “Matured Shares”) multiplied by (y) the Initial Price (the “Maturity Consideration”) and Meteora shall transfer to the escrow agent for the benefit of the Company the Matured Shares less the Penalty Shares (each as defined below). On the last trading day of each week following the merger, Meteora would pay to the Combined Company the product of the number of shares sold multiplied by the Reset Price. The “Reset Price” was initially to be the Initial Price and was to be adjusted on the first scheduled trading day of each week commencing with the first week following the thirtieth day after the Closing to be the lowest of (a) the then-current Reset Price, (b) the Initial Price and (c) the VWAP Price of the Shares of the prior week, but not lower than $
In the event that the VWAP Price of the Class A Common Stock was to fall below $
In addition, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Forward Purchase Agreement, ConnectM and the Combined Company agree, from and after December 31, 2022, not to incur in excess of $
Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to Meteora an amount equal to the reasonable and documented attorney fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related thereto actually incurred by Meteora or its affiliates in connection with this Forward Purchase Transaction not to exceed (a) $
9
On August 2, 2024, the Company and Meteora entered into an amendment to the Forward Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”). Under the terms of the Amendment, Meteora in its sole discretion may sell Recycled Shares at any time and at any sales price, without payment by Meteora of any Early Termination Obligation (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement), until such time as the proceeds from such sales equal
Under the terms of the Amendment, the Maturity Consideration was replaced by the Settlement Amount Adjustment (as defined below), whereby on the tenth Local Business Day immediately following the last day of the Valuation Period (as defined below), Meteora shall remit to the Company an amount equal to the Settlement Amount (as defined below) and will not otherwise be required to return to the Company any of the Prepayment Amount and the Company shall remit to Meteora the Settlement Amount Adjustment (as defined below) provided, that if the Settlement Amount less the Settlement Amount Adjustment is a negative number and either clause (x) of Settlement Amount Adjustment applies (as defined below) or the Company has elected pursuant to clause (y) of Settlement Amount Adjustment to pay the Settlement Amount Adjustment in cash, then neither Meteora nor the Company shall be liable to the other party for any payment under this section.
The Settlement Amount will be (a) in the event the Valuation Date is determined by clause (c) in the definition of the Valuation Date, a cash amount equal to (1) the Number of Shares less the number of Terminated Shares as of the Valuation Date, multiplied by (2) the closing price of the Shares on the Exchange Business Day immediately preceding the Valuation Date, (b) in all other cases, a cash amount equal to the Number of Shares less the number of Terminated Shares as of the Valuation Date, less the number of Unregistered Shares (as defined below), multiplied by the volume weighted daily VWAP Price over the Valuation Period. The Settlement Amount Adjustment is a cash amount equal to the product of (1) the Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date multiplied by (2) $
The Valuation Date is defined as the earliest to occur of (a) the third anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination and (b) the date specified by Meteora in a written notice to be delivered to Counterparty at Meteora’s discretion (not earlier than the day such notice is effective) after the occurrence of any of a (x) Seller VWAP Trigger Event or (y) a Delisting Event and (c) the date specified by Meteora in a written notice to be delivered to the Company at Meteora’s sole discretion (which Valuation Date shall not be earlier than the date of such notice, and, in each case the “Maturity Date”). The Valuation Period is defined as the period commencing on the Valuation Date and ending at 4:00 pm on the Exchange Business Day on which 10% of the total volume traded in the Shares over the period, excluding any volumes traded during the opening and closing auctions, has reached an amount equal to the Number of Shares outstanding as of the Valuation Date plus the Estimated Maturity Shares, less Terminated Shares, less the number of Shares owned by Seller that are neither registered for resale under an effective resale Registration Statement nor eligible for resale under Rule 144 without

Operations Prior to Business Combination with Legacy ConnectM
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from September 23, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering, activities necessary to identify a potential target and prepare for a business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of the Business Combination, at the earliest or if at all. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO (as defined below).

The Company’s management had broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds were intended to be applied generally toward consummating a business combination. The Company was required to complete
In connection with any proposed initial business combination, the Company was required to either (1) seek stockholder approval of such initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to convert their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination or do not vote at all, into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), or (2) provide its stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), in each case subject to the limitations described herein.
If the Company determined to engage in a tender offer, such tender offer would have been structured so that each stockholder may tender all of his, her or its shares rather than some pro rata portion of his, her or its shares. The decision as to whether the Company would have sought stockholder approval of a proposed business combination or would allow stockholders to sell their shares to the Company in a tender offer would have been made by the Company, solely in the Company’s discretion, and would have been based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval. If the Company determined to allow stockholders to sell their shares to the Company in a tender offer, it would have filed tender offer documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) which would have contained substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules.
The Company would have proceeded, and did proceed, with the Business Combination if the Company did not have net tangible assets of at least $
If a stockholder vote was not required by law and the Company did not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company would have, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conducted the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and filed tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
If, however, stockholder approval of the transactions was required by law, or the Company decided to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company would have offered to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder would have been able to elect to redeem their public shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.
12
Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, if the Company sought stockholder approval of its initial business combination and the Company did not conduct redemptions in connection with its initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation would have provided 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 Exchange Act), would have been restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of
The Company’s sponsor, officers and directors (the “initial stockholders”) agreed not to propose any amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the Company’s public stockholders’ ability to convert or sell their shares to the Company in connection with a business combination as described herein or affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem

If the Company was unable to complete its initial business combination within the Additional Extension Options Two, absent any amendments of the IMTA Agreement and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which requires requisite stockholder approval, the Company would have: (i) ceased all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeemed
The Company’s initial stockholders agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if the Company failed to complete its initial business combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders acquired public shares in or after the IPO date, they would be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such public shares if the Company failed to complete a Business Combination within the prescribed time frame. The underwriter agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 7) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company did not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts would have been included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that would 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 would have been less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party 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 (1) $

On April 10, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company no longer complies with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Rule”) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. Under the Rule, the Company is required to maintain at least 400 total holders (the “Total Holder Requirement”). The Notice indicates that the Company has 45 calendar days (the “Deadline”) to submit a plan (the “Compliance Plan”) to regain compliance with the Rule. Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company regained compliance with the Rule.
Due to its current liabilities for taxes and transaction costs in relation to the Business Combination and potential liabilities under the DeliveryCircle Purchase Agreement (as defined and discussed in Note 11), the funds available after the closing of the Business Combination may not be sufficient to meet the expenditures required for operating its business for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company may need to raise additional capital through equity or debt issuances. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed consolidated 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.
Risks and Uncertainties
Results of operations may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond its control. The business could be impacted by 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 conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war, 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 and Israel and Hamas, the U.S. and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions which could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Company’s securities. The Company cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) was signed into federal law. The IRA provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.
Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or
15
otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary and are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US 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. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 13, 2024. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (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 auditor 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 non-binding 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company
16
which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Offering Costs
Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO and were charged to temporary equity, equity and/or expense upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The fair value of the Representative Shares was accounted for as compensation under ASC 718, was included in the offering costs at the IPO date. In addition, under the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 Topic 5T, Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s), the Company included in offering costs amounts incurred by the Sponsor through the sale of Founder Shares to Anchor Investors on behalf of the Company (Note 5). The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares was deemed a contribution from the Sponsor for offering costs and working capital.
Business Combination Costs
Costs incurred in relation to a potential business combination may include legal, accounting and other expenses. Any such costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $
Net Income (Loss) per share of Common Stock
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”). Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of Common Stock outstanding during the period.
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations include a presentation of net income (loss) per share subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. With respect to the accretion of the Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption and consistent with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the Company deemed the fair value of the Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption to approximate the contractual redemption value and the accretion has no impact on the calculation of net income (loss) per share.
The Company’s Public Warrants (see Note 3) and Private Warrants (see Note 4) could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. However, these warrants were excluded when calculating diluted net income (loss) per share because the warrants were anti-dilutive as their exercise price was in excess of the average Class A common stock price over the periods presented. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as basic net income (loss) per share for all periods presented.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in a treasury trust fund investing in U.S. Treasury Bills and U.S. Treasury Notes. These securities are presented on the unaudited condensed balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Earnings on these securities are included in dividend and interest income in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations and are automatically reinvested. The fair value for these securities is determined using quoted market prices in active markets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. Cash and securities held in the Trust
18
Account are comprised of securities held by a financial institution, which are insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"), comprised of $250,000 coverage for cash and $250,000 for securities. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.
Share-Based Payment Arrangements
The Company accounts for stock awards in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” which requires that all equity awards be accounted for at their fair value. Fair value is measured on the grant date and is equal to the underlying value of the stock.
Costs equal to these fair values are recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards that are expected to vest, or in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately and have no future service condition. For awards that vest over time, cumulative adjustments in later periods are recorded to the extent actual forfeitures differ from the Company’s initial estimates; previously recognized compensation cost is reversed if the service or performance conditions are not satisfied, and the award is forfeited.
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is 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 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 sold as part of the Initial Public Offering, features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, all common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The redemption values as of June 30, 2024, includes $
