NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS, AND LIQUIDITY
EVe Mobility Acquisition Corp (the “Company” or “EVe”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 23, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a 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.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 23, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) as described below, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income or gains on investments on the cash and investments held in a trust account from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial
Public Offering was declared effective on December 14, 2021. On December 17, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public
Offering of
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale of

above amounted to $
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 Placement Units,
although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. NYSE American,
LLC rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal

The Company will provide its public shareholders
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 shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether
the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, in its sole
discretion. The public shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust
Account (approximately $
The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or vote at all.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company
seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended
and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder
or any other person with whom such shareholder 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

by an additional month each time, upon two days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, up to June 17, 2024.. If the
Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (including any extended period of time as described
above), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no
more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem
The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights
to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account 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 Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust
Account, the Sponsor has 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 June 9, 2023, the Company transferred its listing from The New York Stock Exchange to the NYSE American LLC, where it has been approved to list.
Extraordinary General Meeting
On June 14, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) and the shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial Business Combination from June 17, 2023 to December 17, 2023 (the “Extended Date” and, such extension, the “Initial Extension”) and allow the Board without another shareholder vote, to elect to further extend the date to consummate an initial Business Combination after the Extended Date up to six times, by an additional month each time, upon two days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, up to June 17, 2024 (each, an “Additional Monthly Extension”). Additionally, the shareholders approved the right of a holder of Class B ordinary shares to convert such Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis at any time and from time-to-time prior to the closing of an initial Business Combination at the election of the holder (the “Optional Conversion”).

The Company intends to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and 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, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
If the Company’s estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to an initial Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete an initial Business Combination or because the Company becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of its public shares upon completion of an initial Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Company has until December 17, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination, with the option to extend up to six times upon approval by the Company’s board of directors, up until June 17, 2024. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, or the Company’s shareholders have not approved an extension, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Although the Company intends to consummate a Business Combination on or before December 17, 2023 or June 17, 2024 if the Company’s board of directors elects to extend at their option, and may seek an extension, it is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination, or obtain an extension, by this time. This, as well as its liquidity condition, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There have been no changes to these conditions from prior periods. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 17, 2023.

Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management continues to evaluate the impact of ongoing geopolitical instability events, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Hamas conflict. As a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Israel-Hamas conflict and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these financial statements and the specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these financial statements.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations 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 comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 14, 2023. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 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, 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, 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 shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
10
EVE MOBILITY ACQUISITION CORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2023
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 an emerging growth 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 unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of 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 confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Company had operating
cash (i.e. cash held outside the Trust Account) of $
Investments Held in Trust Account
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds, which are invested in U.S. Treasury securities. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Interest income is included in the interest income on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited statements of income.
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022,
the investments held in Trust Account were $
Convertible Instruments – Working Capital Loans
When the Company issues convertible debt it first evaluates the balance sheet classification of the convertible instrument in its entirety to determine whether the instrument should be classified as a liability under ASC 480 and second whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. A conversion feature of a convertible debt instrument would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, were it a stand-alone instrument, meets the definition of an “embedded derivative” as defined in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Generally, characteristics that require derivative treatment include, among others, when the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company’s equity, as defined in ASC 815-40, or when it must be settled either in cash or by issuing stock that is readily convertible to cash. When a conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative, it would be separated from the host instrument and classified as a derivative liability carried on the balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in its fair value recognized currently in the statements of income. The Working Capital Note has a conversion feature that allows for converting the loan into units. The Company performed an evaluation as outlined and determined that it qualifies for exemption as an equity instrument and is not bifurcated.

EVE MOBILITY ACQUISITION CORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2023
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of income. The Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4) are equity classified (see Note 7).
Non-Redemption Agreements
The Sponsor entered into Non-Redemption Agreements with various shareholders of the Company (the “Non-Redeeming Shareholders”). The Company complies with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic (“SAB”) 5A and SAB 5T to account for the indirect economic interest of the Founder Shares acquired by the Non-Redeeming Shareholders. The excess of the fair value of such Founder Shares was determined to be an offering cost. Accordingly, in substance, the indirect economic interest in the Founder Shares was recognized by the Company as a capital contribution by the Sponsor to induce these Non-Redeeming Shareholders not to redeem the Non-Redeemed Shares, with a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital to recognize the fair value of the Founder Shares subject to transfer as an offering cost.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
All of the
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value
immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end
of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Class A ordinary shares are affected by charges
against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. The redemption value of the redeemable Class A ordinary shares as of September 30,
2023 increased because of interest income earned on the investments held in the Trust Account. As such, the Company recorded an increase
in the carrying amount of the redeemable Class A ordinary shares of $

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
The Company complies with the requirements of
ASC Topic 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs (“ASC 340”) and SAB 5A - Expenses of Offering. Offering costs directly
attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity. Offering costs for
equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. For the period from March 23, 2021 (inception)
through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred offering costs amounting to $
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 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 statements 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 enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statements 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements.

The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements.
Net Income Per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure
requirements of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded
from net loss per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Therefore, the per share calculation allocates income and losses
shared pro rata between Class A and Class B ordinary shares. As a result, the calculated net income per share is the same for Class A
and Class B ordinary shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering, the partial
exercise of the over-allotment option, and private placement to purchase an aggregate of

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheet for current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
Level 1 | — | Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
Level 2 | — | Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. |
Level 3 | — | Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities. |
See Note 8 for additional information on assets measured at fair value.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of an initial Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of an initial Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed; provided that if the Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement. If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the 60th business day following the closing of an initial Business Combination, holders of the warrants will have the right, during the period beginning on the 61st business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the SEC, and during any other period when the Company fails to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to exercise such warrants on a “cashless basis.”

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on March 23, 2021 formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We have not selected any business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement units, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the forward purchase agreements (or backstop agreements we may enter into or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing or other sources.
22
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities for the period from March 23, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2023, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the initial public offering, described below, and since the closing of our initial public offering, the search for a prospective initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held after the initial public offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as due diligence expenses.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had net income of $465,886 and $5,111,793, respectively, which resulted from interest income on investments held in Trust Account of $846,472 and $6,295,768, partially offset by operating and formation costs of $380,586 and $1,183,975, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $961,767 and $687,889, respectively, which resulted from interest income on investments held in Trust Account of $1,158,662 and $1,520,902, partially offset by operating and formation costs of $196,895 and $833,013, respectively.
Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern
On December 17, 2021, we consummated an initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”) of 25,000,000 units, including the issuance of 3,000,000 units as a result of the underwriter’s partial exercise of its over-allotment option, at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale of 1,140,000 units (the “private placement units”) to EVe Mobility Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) and Moelis & Company Group, LP (“Moelis LP”), at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $11,400,000. The proceeds from the sale of the private placement units were added to the net proceeds from the initial public offering held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”). If we do not complete an initial business combination by December 17, 2023 , the proceeds from the sale of the private placement units will be used to fund the redemption of the public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the warrants included in the private placement units will expire worthless.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $263,009, which was due to interest income on investments held in the Trust Account of $6,295,768, partially offset by net income of $5,111,793 and changes in working capital of $920,966.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $514,716, which was due to changes in working capital of $318,297, partially offset by net income of $687,889 and interest income on investments in the Trust Account of $1,520,902.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by investing activities was $199,154,339, which was entirely attributable to proceeds from the Trust Account for payment to redeeming shareholders.
23
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $198,996,947, which was attributable to payments of $199,154,339 to redeeming shareholders of Class A ordinary shares; partially offset by proceeds of $157,392 in connection with a related party working capital note.
There were no cash flows from investing activities or financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $5,291 and $110,908 in cash held outside of the Trust Account and working capital deficits of $1,056,305 and $29,722, respectively. Upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, capital in excess of the funds deposited in the Trust Account and/or used to fund offering expenses was released to the Company for general working capital purposes.
The Company intends to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and 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, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
If the Company’s estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to an initial Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete an initial Business Combination or because the Company becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of its public shares upon completion of an initial Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Company has until December 17, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination, with the option to extend up to six times upon approval by the Company’s board of directors, up until June 17, 2024. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, or the Company’s shareholders have not approved an extension, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Although the Company intends to consummate a Business Combination on or before December 17, 2023 or June 17, 2024 if the Company’s board of directors elects to extend at their option, and may seek an extension, it is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination, or obtain an extension, by this time. This, as well as its liquidity condition, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 17, 2023.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Contractual Obligations
Founder Shares
On April 7, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 in consideration for 7,187,500 shares of Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). On September 3, 2021, the Company effected a share capitalization of an additional 2,395,833 Class B ordinary shares, resulting in an aggregate of 9,583,333 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. On September 27, 2021, the Company surrendered 1,916,666 Class B ordinary shares for no consideration, resulting in an aggregate of 7,666,667 Class B ordinary shares. On December 14, 2021, the Company effected a share capitalization of 766,666 Class B ordinary shares, resulting in the initial shareholders holding an aggregate of 8,433,333 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 1,100,000 Class B ordinary shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor and its permitted transferees will own, on an as-converted basis, 25% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On December 17, 2021, with the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares were no longer subject to forfeiture, leaving 100,000 Class B ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. On January 14, 2022, the Company forfeited the remaining portion of the over-allotment option, thus, 100,000 Class B ordinary shares were forfeited.
24
The Sponsor has agreed that, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares will not be transferred, assigned, or sold until the earlier of (i) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) subsequent to an initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after an initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial business combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting on June 14, 2023, the Shareholders approved the right of a holder of Class B ordinary shares to convert such Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis at any time and from time-to-time prior to the closing of an initial Business Combination at the election of the holder. The Sponsor converted all of its Class B ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis into Class A ordinary shares. The Sponsor will not have any redemption rights in connection with the Converted Shares, and the Converted Shares will be subject to the restrictions on transfer included in the letter agreement entered into by the Sponsor in connection with the IPO.
Due from Sponsor
Due from Sponsor consists of operating costs associated with EVe Mobility Sponsor LLC that were paid by the Company and are reimbursable by the Sponsor on demand. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $3,626 was due from Sponsor.
Administrative Support Agreement
On December 14, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services. Upon completion of the Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. Under this agreement, the Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000 in administrative support expenses in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 which were recorded within operating and formation costs in the unaudited condensed statements of income. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $74,516 and $4,516, respectively, related to this agreement were owed to the Sponsor, which is included within accrued expense on the condensed balance sheets.
Related Party Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds held in the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination is not completed, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units.
On May 15, 2023, the Company issued to the Sponsor a convertible working capital note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000 in order to finance working capital requirements and transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination (the “Working Capital Note”). The principal of this Working Capital Note may be drawn down from time to time prior to the Maturity Date (as defined below) at the request of the Company (each, a “Drawdown Request”). Each Drawdown Request must state the amount to be drawn down, and must not be an amount less than $10,000 unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Sponsor. The Working Capital Loans may be settled, at the option of the Sponsor, in units of the Company, comprised of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one warrant (“Working Capital Units”), at a conversion price of $10.00 per Working Capital Unit. The Working Capital Loans will not bear any interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon the earlier of (i) June 17, 2024 and (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination.

The Working Capital Units, including the underlying securities, are identical to the Private Placement Units and may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of an initial Business Combination, and will be entitled to registration rights. The warrants underlying the Working Capital Units (“Working Capital Warrants”) will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including that each whole Working Capital Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to the same adjustments applicable to the Private Placement Warrants. The Working Capital Units, including the underlying securities, will not be registered under the Securities Act, and will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements thereof provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding amount of the working capital note was $157,392 and $0, respectively.
On October 31, 2023 and November 6, 2023, the Company increased the borrowings of the Working Capital Note by $70,604 and $54,396, respectively, to increase the outstanding amount to $282,392.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of 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 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:
Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering
The Company complies with the requirements of ASC Topic 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs (“ASC 340") and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A - Expenses of Offering. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. For the period from March 23, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred offering costs amounting to $14,355,310 as a result of the Initial Public Offering (consisting of a $4,400,000 underwriting discount, $9,350,000 of deferred offering costs, and $605,310 of other offering costs). For the period from March 23, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the Company recorded $14,071,008 of offering costs as a reduction of temporary equity and $284,302 of offering costs as a reduction of permanent equity.
Convertible Instruments – Working Capital Loans
When the Company issues convertible debt it first evaluates the balance sheet classification of the convertible instrument in its entirety to determine whether the instrument should be classified as a liability under ASC 480 and second whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. A conversion feature of a convertible debt instrument would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, were it a stand-alone instrument, meets the definition of an “embedded derivative” as defined in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815"). Generally, characteristics that require derivative treatment include, among others, when the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company’s equity, as defined in ASC 815-40, or when it must be settled either in cash or by issuing stock that is readily convertible to cash. When a conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative, it would be separated from the host instrument and classified as a derivative liability carried on the balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in its fair value recognized currently in the statements of income. The Working Capital Note has a conversion feature that allows for converting the loan into units. The Company performed an evaluation as outlined and determined that it qualifies for exemption as an equity instrument and is not bifurcated.
Warrants
We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of income. The public warrants and private placement warrants are equity classified.

Non-Redemption Agreements
The Sponsor entered into Non-Redemption Agreements with various shareholders of the Company (the “Non-Redeeming Shareholders”). The Company complies with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic (“SAB”) 5A and SAB 5T to account for the indirect economic interest of the Founder Shares acquired by the Non-Redeeming Shareholders. The excess of the fair value of such Founder Shares was determined to be an offering cost. Accordingly, in substance, the indirect economic interest in the Founder Shares was recognized by the Company as a capital contribution by the Sponsor to induce these Non-Redeeming Shareholders not to redeem the Non-Redeemed Shares, with a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital to recognize the fair value of the Founder Shares subject to transfer as an offering cost.
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
All of the 25,000,000 Public Shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the partial exercise of the over-allotment option contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Public Shares have been classified outside of permanent equity. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the redemption value of the Company’s redeemable Class A ordinary shares was $65,820,103 and $258,678,674 respectively. The decrease in the carrying value resulted from shareholders’ redemptions totaling $199,154,339; partially offset by the income earned on the Trust Account of $6,295,768.
We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Class A ordinary shares are reported as charges against accumulated deficit.
Net Income Per Ordinary Share
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Re-measurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net income per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Therefore, the per share calculation allocates income and losses shared pro rata between Class A and Class B ordinary shares. As a result, the calculated net income per share is the same for Class A and Class B ordinary shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 13,070,000 shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted net income per share is the same as basic net income per share for the periods presented.
Recent Accounting Standards
We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
This item is not applicable as we are a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of September 30, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
28
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against us or any members of our management team.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 14, 2023, as updated and supplemented below. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations of financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

Our search for a Business Combination, and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate a Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected by the geopolitical conditions resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine during the ongoing military conflict, increasing geopolitical tensions with Russia. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Additionally, in response to Hamas’s attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, Israel has launched extensive air strikes against targets in the Gaza Strip and, on October 27, 2023, Israeli military forces launched an invasion of Gaza. The escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict could cause disruptions to global economic conditions and effect the stability of the Middle East region.
Although the length and impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Israel-Hamas conflict, and resulting sanctions are highly unpredictable, these conflicts and resulting sanctions could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions. Additionally, these conflicts and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets. In addition, the impact of sanctions against Russia and the potential for retaliatory acts from Russia, could result in increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies.
Any of the abovementioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict, could adversely affect our search for a Business Combination and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate a Business Combination. The extent and duration of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the resulting sanctions and any related market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial, particularly if current or new sanctions continue for an extended period of time or if geopolitical tensions result in expanded military operations on a global scale. Any such disruptions may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. If these disruptions or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which we may ultimately consummate a Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected.
