NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1- Description of Organization and Business Operations
NorthView Acquisition Corporation (the âCompanyâ or âNorthviewâ) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 19, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (âBusiness Combinationâ). The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination target. While the Company may pursue an initial Business Combination target in any business, industry or geographical location, it intends to focus its search on businesses that are focused on healthcare innovation.
The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, NV Profusa Merger Sub Inc. (âMerger Subâ), a Delaware corporation incorporated on October 13, 2022, formed solely in contemplation of the Merger with Profusa (See Note 6). Merger Sub has not commenced any operations and has only nominal assets and no liabilities or contingent liabilities, nor any outstanding commitments other than in connection with the Merger.
On December 22, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering (âIPOâ) of 18,975,000 units (the âUnitsâ), which included 2,475,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, one right (the âRightsâ), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (the âWarrantsâ). Each Right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $189,750,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 7,347,500 warrants (the âPrivate Placement Warrantsâ), which included 697,500 Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters, to NorthView Sponsor I, LLC (âthe Sponsorâ), I-Bankers Securities, Inc., and Dawson James Securities, Inc. at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,347,500, which is discussed in Note 4.
Transaction costs amounted to $7,959,726 consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting discount, $3,570,576 of Representativeâs Shares cost, $259,527 of Representativeâs Warrants cost and $679,623 of other offering costs.
The Companyâs Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
Following the closing of the Public Offering on December 22, 2021, an amount of $191,647,500 ($10.10 per Unit), excluding $741,228 that was wired to the Companyâs operating bank account on December 31, 2021 for working capital purposes, from the net proceeds of the sale of the public units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a Trust Account (âTrust Accountâ) and invested in United States government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in United States Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act as determined by the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the IPO will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Companyâs initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Companyâs amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Companyâs obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the extended period (or any additional extension from the closing of our IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination) (the âCombination Periodâ), or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholdersâ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of all of the Companyâs public shares if the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Companyâs creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Companyâs public stockholders.
5
The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The per share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the fee payable to I-Bankers and Dawson James pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement (see Note 6).
If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, it will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholdersâ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Companyâs remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Companyâs obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Companyâs rights and warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period.
All of the Public Shares, or shares of our common stock sold as part of the IPO, contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with our liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with our initial business combination and in connection with certain amendments to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants), the initial carrying value of common stock classified as temporary equity was the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The common stock is subject to ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, we have the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. We have elected to recognize the changes immediately. While redemptions cannot cause the Companyâs net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001, the Public Shares are redeemable and will be classified as such on the condensed consolidated balance sheets until such date that a redemption event takes place.
The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within such time period); and (iii) vote their Founder Shares and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the initial Business Combination.
6
The Companyâs Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.10 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be released to the Company to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.
Liquidityand Going Concern
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $55,610 in cash and a working capital deficit of $1,947,395. Prior to the completion of the Companyâs IPO, the Companyâs liquidity needs had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the Sponsor of $25,000 for the founder shares to cover certain of the offering costs and the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of $204,841, which was fully paid upon the IPO. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, the Companyâs liquidity needs have been satisfied through the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination, the initial stockholders or an affiliate of the initial stockholders or certain of the Companyâs officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 5). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
The Company has until May 22, 2023 or as late as December 22, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by May 22, 2023 or as late as December 22, 2023. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the required date, there will be an option to either extend the time available for us to consummate our initial business combination or execute a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. In connection with the Companyâs assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (âFASBâ) Accounting Standards Update (âASUâ) 2014-15, âDisclosure of Uncertainties About an Entityâs Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,â management has determined that mandatory liquidation, and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a business combination, raises substantial doubt about the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after May 22, 2023 or as late as December 22, 2023.
The Company held a meeting on March 10, 2023 to vote on the proposal to amend the Companyâs amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination or, if it fails to do so, cease its operations and redeem or repurchase 100% of the shares of the Companyâs common stock issued in the Companyâs initial public offering, from March 22, 2023, monthly for up to nine additional months at the election of the Company, ultimately until as late as December 22, 2023 (the âExtensionâ, and such extension date the âExtended Dateâ). On March 21, 2023, the Company paid an extension fee of $48,707. On March 22, 2023, 18,000,868 shares of the Companyâs common stock were redeemed with a total redemption payment of $184,845,836.
Risksand Uncertainties
Management is continuing to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that it could have a negative effect on the Companyâs 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the âIR Actâ) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock occurring on or after January 1, 2023, by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations, by certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations, by âcovered surrogate foreign corporationsâ (as defined in the IR Act) and by certain affiliates of the foregoing. 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 âTreasuryâ) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and to prevent the 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 âPIPEâ or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or 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 Companyâs ability to complete a Business Combination.
On March 22, 2023, the Companyâs stockholders redeemed 18,000,868 shares for a total of $184,845,836. The Company determined that an excise tax liability should be recorded due to the redeemed shares. As of March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a charge to stockholdersâ deficit of $1,848,455 of excise tax liability calculated as 1% of shares redeemed.
Note 2- Significant Accounting Policies
Basisof Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (âGAAPâ) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future periods.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companyâs audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K annual report filed by the Company with the SEC on March 6, 2023.
Principlesof Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
EmergingGrowth Company Status
The Company is an âemerging growth company,â as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the âJOBS Actâ), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
8
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 Companyâs unaudited condensed consolidated 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 ofEstimates
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 significantly from those estimates.
Concentrationof Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account.
Cash andCash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Cashand Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less and in money market funds which invest in U.S. Treasury securities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, pursuant to the trust agreement dated as of December 20, 2021 between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (âCSTâ), the trustee of the Trust Account, $877,438 of interest income from the Trust Account was withdrawn by the Company for the payment of its taxes.
At December 31, 2022 the Company classified its US Treasury bills as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 320 âInvestments - Debt and Equity Securities.â Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.
9
A decline in the market value of held-to-maturity securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in an impairment that reduces the carrying costs to such securitiesâ fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and the duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year-end, forecasted performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry in which the investee operates.
Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Such amortization and accretion are included in the âinterest incomeâ line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest income is recognized when earned.
The carrying value, excluding gross unrealized holding (gain) loss, and fair value of held to maturity securities on and December 31, 2022 are as follows:
| Carrying<br><br> Value as of<br> December 31,<br> 2022 | Gross<br><br> Unrealized<br> Gains | Gross<br><br> Unrealized<br> Losses | Fair<br> Value<br> as of<br> December 31,<br> 2022 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | $ | 1,034 | $ | â | $ | â | $ | 1,034 |
| U.S.<br> Treasury Bills | 194,223,748 | 43,626 | â | 194,267,374 | ||||
| $ | 194,224,782 | $ | 43,626 | $ | â | $ | 194,268,408 |
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company changed its accounting policy for the investments in trust to the fair value method.
As of March 31, 2023, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in mutual funds that invest in U.S Treasury Securities. The Companyâs investments held in the Trust Account are now classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in in the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Fair Valueof Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Companyâs assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the warrant liabilities and investments in the Trust Account.
IncomeTaxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, âIncome Taxes.â ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed consolidated 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. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Companyâs deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. Our effective tax rate was 46.49% and 0.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, due to changes in fair of warrant liabilities, and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterpriseâs financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company has identified the United States as its only âmajorâ tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Companyâs management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
10
DerivativeFinancial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments, such as warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, âDerivatives and Hedgingâ. Derivative instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
WarrantLiabilities
The Company accounts for the 17,404,250 warrants issued in connection with the IPO (the 9,487,500 Public Warrants, the 7,347,500 Private Placement Warrants, and the 569,250 Representative Warrants inclusive of the underwritersâ over-allotment option) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company has classified each warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liabilities will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Companyâs unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations (See Note 8).
OfferingCosts associated with the Initial Public Offering
The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1, SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5A â âExpenses of Offeringâ, and SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5T â âAccounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s)â. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction of equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $7,959,726 as a result of the IPO (consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting fees, $3,570,576 of Representativeâs Shares cost, $259,527 of Representativeâs Warrants cost and $679,623 of other offering costs). The Company recorded $7,701,178 of offering costs as a reduction of temporary equity in connection with the common stock included in the Units. The Company immediately expensed $258,548 of offering costs in connection with the Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and Representativeâs Warrants that were classified as liabilities.
NetIncome (Loss) Per Common Stock
The Company has two categories of shares, which are referred to as common stock subject to possible redemption and common stock. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two categories of shares. The 17,404,250 potential shares of common stock for outstanding warrants to purchase the Companyâs shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock is the same as basic net income (loss) per share of common stock for the periods presented. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income per share for each category of common stock:
| For<br> the three months ended<br> March 31, 2023 | For<br> the three months ended<br> March 31, 2022 | |||||||

CommonStock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Companyâs common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO (âpublic common stockâ) contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Companyâs liquidation, or if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Companyâs initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies public common stock outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The public common stock was issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants) and as such, the initial carrying value of public common stock classified as temporary equity was the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amount of public common stock reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:
| Gross proceeds | $ | 189,750,000 | |

RecentlyIssued Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (âASUâ) 2016-13 â Financial Instruments â Credit Losses(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (âASU 2016-13â). This update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Since June 2016, the FASB issued clarifying updates to the new standard including changing the effective date for smaller reporting companies. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Companyâs unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note3 â Initial Public Offering
PublicUnits
On December 22, 2021, the Company sold 18,975,000 Units, (which included 2,475,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each unit that the Company is offering has a price of $10.00 and consists of one share of common stock, one right, and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein.
PublicWarrants
Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by such stockholders or their affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance (the âNewly Issued Priceâ)), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for funding the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the Business Combination (such price, the âMarket Valueâ) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described in the section âRedemption of warrantsâ will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO or 30 days after the completion of its initial Business Combination, and will expire five years after the completion of the Companyâs initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file, and within 60 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, to have declared effective, a registration statement relating to those shares of common stock, and to maintain a current prospectus relating to such shares of common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within the above specified period following the consummation of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.
13
Redemptionof Warrants
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:
| â | in whole and not in part; |
|---|---|
| â | at a price of $0.01 per<br> warrant; |
| --- | --- |
| â | upon a minimum of 30 daysâ<br> prior written notice of redemption (the â30-day redemption periodâ); |
| --- | --- |
| â | if, and only if, the last<br> sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending<br> on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
| --- | --- |
If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a âcashless basis.â In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a âcashless basis,â management will consider, among other factors, the Companyâs cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on the stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x)Â the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the âfair market valueâ (defined below) by (y)Â the fair market value. The âfair market valueâ shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.
Note 4â Private Placement
The Companyâs Sponsor, I-Bankers and Dawson James have purchased an aggregate of 7,347,500 Private Placement Warrants (which included 697,500 Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option) at a price of $1.00 per warrant ($7,347,500 in the aggregate) in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. Of such amount, 5,162,500 Private Placement Warrants were purchased by the Sponsor and 2,185,000 Private Placement Warrants were purchased by I-Bankers and Dawson James.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants included in the units sold in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants: (i) will not be redeemable by the Company and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the Units being sold in the IPO.

Note 5â Related Party Transactions
FounderShares
In April 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.005 per share, to cover certain of the offering costs in exchange for an aggregate of 5,175,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the âFounder Sharesâ). In October 2021, the Sponsor irrevocably surrendered to the Company for cancellation and for no consideration 862,500 shares of common stock. On December 20, 2021, the Company effected a 1.1- for-1 stock dividend of its common stock, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 4,743,750 shares of common stock. The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 618,750 shares subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised by the underwriters in full. On December 22, 2021, the over-allotment option was fully exercised and such shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the Companyâs public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property (the âLock-upâ). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the Companyâs common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the Lock-up.
PromissoryNote â Related Party
On April 19, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $150,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. This loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and was to be due at the earlier of September 30, 2021 or the closing of the IPO. On November 5, 2021, the Company amended the promissory note to increase the principal amount up to $200,000 with a due date at the earlier of April 30, 2022 or the closing of the IPO.
Through the IPO, the Company borrowed $200,000 under the promissory note and an additional $4,841 was advanced from the Sponsor. These amounts were repaid in full upon the closing of the IPO out of the offering proceeds that had been allocated to the payment of offering expenses (other than underwriting commissions). The Company paid $25,000 in excess which was owed back to the Company upon the closing of the IPO, and was returned by the Sponsor on June 15, 2022.
15
RelatedParty Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the initial stockholders or an affiliate of the initial stockholders or certain of the Companyâs officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the âWorking Capital Loansâ). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, such loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible, at the option of the lender, into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant of the post Business Combination entity. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
As disclosed in the subsequent events footnote, on April 27, 2023, the Company signed a Convertible Working Capital Promissory Note (âthe Noteâ) with the Sponsor for $1,200,000. The Note is non-interest bearing and is due the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or the date of liquidation. The Sponsor may elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. On April 27, 2023, the Company drew $168,589 against the Note.
AdministrativeService Fee
Commencing on the effective date of the IPO, the Company began paying its Sponsor a total of $5,000Â per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and other administrative and consulting services. Upon completion of the Companyâs Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, $15,000 had been incurred and billed relating to the administrative service fee. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $40,000 and $25,000, respectively. relating to the administrative service fee was not paid and recorded as due to related party.
Note 6- Commitments and Contingencies
RegistrationRights
The holders of the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the closing date of the IPO requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain âpiggy-backâ registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable Lock-up period described in Note 5. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

UnderwritersAgreement
The underwriters had a 30-day option from the date of IPO to purchase up to an additional 2,475,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any. On December 22, 2021, the over-allotment was fully exercised.
The underwriters received a cash underwriting discount of approximately 1.82% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $3,450,000.
BusinessCombination Marketing Agreement
Under a Business Combination marketing agreement, the Company engaged I-Bankers and Dawson James as advisors in connection with the Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with the stockholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target businessâs attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing the Companyâs securities in connection with the potential Business Combination, assist the Company in obtaining stockholder approval for the Business Combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company was obligated to pay I-Bankers and Dawson James a cash fee for such marketing services upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination in an amount of 3.68% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $6,986,250. The agreement was amended on November 7, 2022 and calls for the 3.68% business combination fee to be paid as (a) 27.5% cash and (b) 72.5% to be rolled into equity at closing.
RepresentativeâsShares
On December 22, 2021, the Company issued 450,000 shares (Representative Shares) of common stock (which included 37,500 Representative Shares issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option) at the consummation of the IPO to I-Bankers and Dawson James (and/or their designees). I-Bankers and Dawson James (and/or their designees) have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of the initial Business Combination. In addition, I-Bankers and Dawson James (and/or their designees) have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. The fair value of the Representativeâs Shares issued are recognized as offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity and are recorded as a reduction of equity (see Note 1). The fair value of the Representativeâs Shares of $3,570,576 was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation with the following inputs at December 22, 2021:
| December 22,<br><br> 2021 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Input | |||
| Risk-free interest rate | 0.76 | % | |
| Expected term (years) | 2.27 | ||
| Expected volatility | 11.4 | % | |
| Stock price | $ | 10.00 | |
| Fair value of Representativeâs Shares | $ | 7.93 |
17
RepresentativeâsWarrants
The Company granted to I-Bankers and Dawson James (and/or their designees) 569,250 warrants (which included 74,250 warrants issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option) exercisable at $11.50 per share (or an aggregate exercise price of $6,546,375) at the closing of the IPO. The Representative Warrants issued are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and recorded as liabilities at fair value each reporting period (see Notes 1 and 8). The warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holderâs option, at any time during the period commencing on the later of the first anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement of which the IPO forms a part and the closing of the initial Business Combination and terminating on the fifth anniversary of such effectiveness date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, I-Bankers and Dawson James have agreed that neither they nor their designees will be permitted to exercise the warrants after the five year anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement of which the IPO forms a part. The warrants and such shares purchased pursuant to the warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the effectiveness of the registration statement of which the IPO forms a part pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110I(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement of which the IPO forms a part, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement of which the IPO forms a part except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners. The warrants grant to holders demand and âpiggy backâ rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective date of the registration statement of which the IPO forms a part with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions, which will be paid for by the holders themselves. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or the Companyâs recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares at a price below its exercise price. The Company will have no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the warrants. The holder of the warrants will not be entitled to exercise the warrants for cash unless a registration statement covering the securities underlying the warrants is effective or an exemption from registration is available.
MergerAgreement
On November 7, 2022, NorthView entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the âMerger Agreementâ), by and among Merger Sub., and Profusa, Inc., a California corporation (âProfusaâ). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Profusa (the âMergerâ), with Profusa surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NorthView. In connection with the Merger, NorthView will change its name to âProfusa, Inc.â
The Business Combination is subject to customary closing conditions, including the satisfaction of the minimum available cash condition of $15,000,000, the receipt of certain governmental approvals and the required approval by the stockholders of NorthView and Profusa. There is no assurance that the Business Combination will be completed.
The aggregate consideration to be received by the Profusa stockholders is based on a pre-transaction equity value of $155,000,000. The exchange ratio will be equal to (a) $155,000,000, divided by an assumed value of NorthView Common Stock of $10.00 per share. Subject to certain future revenue and stock-price based milestones, Profusa stockholders will have the right to receive an aggregate of up to an additional 3,875,000 shares of NorthView Common Stock.
Note 7- Stockholdersâ Deficit
Preferredstock â The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 and with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Companyâs board of directors. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no preferred stock issued or outstanding.
CommonStockâ The Company is authorized to issue a total of 100,000,000 shares of common stock at par value of $0.0001 each. In April 2021, the Company issued 5,175,000 shares of common stock to its Sponsor for $25,000, or approximately $0.005 per share. In October 2021, the Sponsor irrevocably surrendered to the Company for cancellation and for no consideration 862,500 shares of common stock. On December 20, 2021, the Company effected a 1.1- for-1 stock dividend of its common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 4,743,750 Founder Shares issued and outstanding. On December 22, 2021, the Company has also issued 450,000 shares (Representativeâs Shares) of common stock (which included 37,500 Representative Shares issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option) at the consummation of the IPO to I-Bankers and Dawson James (and/or their designees). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 5,193,750 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, excluding 974,132 and 18,975,000 shares of common stock subject to redemption, respectively.
Common stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Unless specified in the Companyâs amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or as required by applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Companyâs common stock that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by the stockholders. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors (prior to consummation of the initial Business Combination). The Companyâs stockholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.

Note 8- Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The Companyâs financial instruments are classified as either Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. These tiers include:
| â | Level<br> 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments<br> in active markets; |
|---|---|
| â | Level<br> 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly<br> or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets<br> or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| --- | --- |
| â | Level<br> 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring<br> an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques<br> in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
| --- | --- |
The following tables present information about the Companyâs assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The Company did not have any assets in the Trust Account measured at fair value as of December 31, 2022.
The Public Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and the Representativeâs Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model for the initial valuation of the Public Warrants. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the aggregate value of Public Warrants was $759,000 and $450,656, respectively.
19
The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Private Placement Warrants and the Representativeâs Warrants. The Company allocated the proceeds received from (i) the sale of Units (which is inclusive of one shares of Common Stock and one-half of one Public Warrant) and (ii) the sale of Private Placement Warrants, first to the warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds allocated to Common Stock subject to possible redemption (temporary equity) based on their relative fair values at the initial measurement date. The Private Placement Warrants and the Representativeâs Warrants were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the measurement dates due to the use of unobservable inputs. Inherent in pricing models are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term.
The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model for the warrant liabilities were as follows at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:
| March 31, 2023 | December 31,<br><br> 2022 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Input | ||||||
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.76 | % | 4.74 | % | ||
| Expected term (years) | .80 | .90 | ||||
| Expected volatility | 8.4 | % | 7.7 | % | ||
| Exercise price | $ | 11.50 | $ | 11.50 | ||
| Fair value of Common stock | $ | 10.34 | $ | 10.13 |
The following table provides a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Companyâs Level 3 financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There was a transfer out of Level 3 to Level 1 for the fair value of the Public Warrants when they began to trade separately from the Units during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Note9 - Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based on the Companyâs review, except as set forth below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
On April 27, 2023, the Company signed the Note with the Sponsor for $1,200,000. The Note is non-interest bearing and is due the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or the date of liquidation. The Sponsor may elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. On April 27, 2023, the Company drew $168,589 against the Note.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as âmay,â âshould,â âcould,â âwould,â âexpect,â âplan,â âanticipate,â âbelieve,â âestimate,â âcontinue,â or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (âSECâ) filings.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on April 19, 2021 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a âBusiness Combinationâ). We consummated our initial public offering on December 22, 2021 and are currently in the process of locating suitable targets for our business combination. We intend to use the cash proceeds from our Public Offering and the Private Placement described below as well as additional issuances, if any, of our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt to complete the Business Combination.
We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.
RecentDevelopments
On November 7, 2022, NorthView entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the âMerger Agreementâ), by and among NorthView, NV Profusa Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of NorthView (âMerger Subâ), and Profusa, Inc., a California corporation (âProfusaâ).
The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things, at the closing (the âClosingâ) of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Profusa (the âMergerâ), with Profusa surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NorthView. In connection with the Merger, NorthView will change its name to âProfusa, Inc.â The Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the âBusiness Combination.â
The Business Combination is subject to customary closing conditions, including the satisfaction of the minimum available cash condition of $15,000,000, the receipt of certain governmental approvals and the required approval by the stockholders of NorthView and Profusa. There is no assurance that the Business Combination will be completed.
The aggregate consideration to be received by the Profusa stockholders is based on a pre-transaction equity value of $155,000,000. The exchange ratio will be equal to (a) $155,000,000, divided by an assumed value of NorthView Common Stock of $10.00 per share.
21
Subject to certain future revenue and stock-price based milestones, Profusa stockholders will have the right to receive an aggregate of up to an additional 3,875,000 shares of NorthView Common Stock (the âEarnout Sharesâ). One-quarter of the Earnout Shares will be issued if, between the 18-month anniversary and the two year anniversary of the Closing, the combined companyâs common stock achieves a daily volume weighted average market price of at least $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 consecutive trading day period (âMilestone Event Iâ). One-quarter of the Earnout Shares will be issued if, between the first and second anniversary of the Closing, the combined companyâs common stock achieves a daily volume weighted average market price of at least $14.50 per share for a similar number of days (âMilestone Event IIâ). One-quarter of the Earnout Shares will be issued if the combined company achieves at least $5,100,000 in revenue in fiscal year 2023, and one-quarter of the Earnout Shares will be issued if the combined company achieves at least $73,100,000 in revenue in fiscal year 2024, (or up to one-half of the Earnout Shares if both milestones are achieved).
Additionally, if Milestone Event I or Milestone Event II are achieved by the second anniversary of the Closing, NorthViewâs sponsor, NorthView Sponsor I, LLC and Profusa stockholders, will be issued additional shares up to the amount of any shares forgone as an inducement to obtaining Additional Financings (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
Resultsof Operations
As of March 31, 2023, we had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 19, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2023 relates to our formation and the Initial Public Offering, and, subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income and unrealized gains from the cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We expect to incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had net income of $440,895, which consisted of interest income and unrealized loss on securities held in the Trust Account of of $1,841,840, offset by operating costs of $443,717, a loss of $574,137 for the change in fair value of our warrant liabilities, and income tax provision of $383,091. We are required to revalue our liability-classified warrants at the end of each reporting period and reflect in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations a gain or loss from the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities in the period in which the change occurred.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had net income of $3,709,017, which consisted of a gain of $3,877,929 from change in fair value of our warrant liabilities and interest income of $72,684, offset by formation and operating costs of $241,596.
Liquidityand Going Concern
As of March 31, 2023, we had $55,610 in cash and a working capital deficit of $1,947,395.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $966,607. Net income of $440,895 was impacted primarily by trust interest income of $1,845,005, unrealized loss on investments of $3,165, change in deferred tax provision of $35,597 and change in fair value of our warrant liabilities of $574,137. Changes in operating assets and liabilities reflected a use of cash of $104,202 from operating activities during such period.
Prior to the completion of the initial public offering, our liquidity needs had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the sponsor of $25,000 for the founder shares to cover certain of the offering costs and the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the sponsor of $204,841, which was fully paid upon the initial public offering. Subsequent to the consummation of the initial public offering and private placement, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through the proceeds from the consummation of the private placement not held in the trust account.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended business combination, the initial stockholders or an affiliate of the initial stockholders or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us working capital loans. On April 27, 2023 the Company drew $168,589 on a working capital loan with the Sponsor.
22
The Company has until May 22, 2023 or as late as December 22, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by May 22, 2023 or as late as December 22, 2023. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the required date, there will be an option to either extend the time available for us to consummate our initial business combination or execute a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. In connection with the Companyâs assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (âFASBâ) Accounting Standards Update (âASUâ) 2014-15, âDisclosure of Uncertainties About an Entityâs Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,â management has determined that mandatory liquidation, and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a business combination, raises substantial doubt about the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after May 22, 2023 or as late as December 22, 2023.
Off-BalanceSheet Financing Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
ContractualObligations
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we did not have any long-term debt, capital or operating lease obligations.
We entered into an administrative services agreement with our sponsor pursuant to which we pay for office space and secretarial and administrative services provided to members of our management team, in an amount of $5,000 per month. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, $15,000 had been incurred and billed relating to the administrative service fee. As of March 31, 2023, $40,000 relating to the administrative service fee was not paid yet and recorded as due to related party.
NorthView previously engaged I-Bankers as an advisor to assist in holding meetings to discuss the potential business combination and the target businessâ attributes, introduce NorthView to potential investors that are interested providing funding in connection with a Business Combination, assist NorthView in obtaining stockholder approval for such business combination and assist NorthView with its press releases and public filings in connection with such business combination (the âBusiness Combination Marketing Agreementâ). In connection with such engagement, NorthView agreed to pay IBS a cash fee (the âBusiness Combination Feeâ) for such services upon the consummation of a business combination in an amount equal to 3.68% of the gross proceeds of its initial public offering (exclusive of any applicable findersâ fees which might become payable). NorthView had also previously entered into an engagement letter (the âEngagement Letterâ) contemplating the Business Combination Fee. In connection with the Business Combination, NorthView and I-Bankers amended the Business Combination Marketing Agreement and the Engagement Letter to revise a portion of the Business Combination Fee to be partially payable in NorthView securities and partially payable in cash upon the closing of the Merger with Profusa, with such securities to be subject to lock-up provisions.
CriticalAccounting Policies
Managementâs discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our financial information. We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2 â Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies require that management apply significant judgments in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Judgments are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, industry trends and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and, therefore, actual results could differ from our estimates.
WarrantLiabilities
We account for the warrants issued in connection with the IPO in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, we classified each warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liabilities will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
23
NetIncome (Loss) Per Common Stock
We have two categories of shares, which are referred to as common stock subject to possible redemption and common stock. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two categories of shares. The 17,404,250 potential shares of common stock for outstanding warrants to purchase our shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock is the same as basic net income (loss) per share of common stock for the periods presented.
CommonStock Subject to Possible Redemption
Our common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO (âpublic common stockâ) contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with our liquidation, or if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, we classify public common stock subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within our control. The public common stock was issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants) and as such, the initial carrying value of public common stock classified as temporary equity was the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20.
RecentAccounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (âASUâ) 2016-13 â Financial Instruments â Credit Losses(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (âASU 2016-13â). This update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Since June 2016, the FASB issued clarifying updates to the new standard including changing the effective date for smaller reporting companies. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
Our management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
JOBSAct
The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an âemerging growth companyâ under the JOBS Act and are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an âemerging growth company,â we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an independent registered public accounting firmâs attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the independent registered public accounting firmâs report providing additional information about the audit and the condensed consolidated financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEOâs compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our initial public offering or until we are no longer an âemerging growth company,â whichever is earlier.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECâs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting 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 March 31, 2023.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changesin Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings.
None.
Item 1A.Risk Factors.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC, except as set forth below:
Anew 1% U.S. federal excise tax could be imposed on us in connection with redemptions.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the âIRAâ) was signed into federal law. The IRA provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded U.S. corporations, by certain U.S. subsidiaries of publicly traded non-U.S. corporations, by âcovered surrogate foreign corporationsâ (as defined in the IRA) and by certain affiliates of the foregoing (each, a âcovered corporationâ). Because our securities are trading on the Nasdaq, we are a âcovered corporationâ for this purpose. 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 Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and to prevent the avoidance of the excise tax. The IRA applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.
If we complete a business combination after December 31, 2022, any redemption or other repurchase that occurs in connection with the business combination, or any other redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022 may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases, (ii) the nature and amount of the equity issued in connection with the business combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with the business combination but issued within the same taxable year of the business combination), and (iii) the content of regulations and other guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by us, 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 any business combination and in our ability to complete any such business combination.
On March 22, 2023, the Companyâs stockholders redeemed 18,000,868 shares for a total of $184,845,836. The Company determined that a liability for excise tax should be recorded due to the redeemed shares. As of March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a charge to stockholdersâ deficit of $1,848,455 of excise tax liability calculated as 1% of shares redeemed.
26
Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On December 22, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 18,975,000 Units, which included 2,475,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters, generating gross proceeds of $189,750,000. I-Bankers Securities, Inc. and Dawson James Securities, Inc. acted as joint book-running managers of the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statements on Form S-1 (Nos. 333-257156 and 333-261763). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on December 20, 2021.
Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 7,347,500 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and I-Bankers and Dawson James at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $7,347,500.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants sold in the IPO except that the Private Placement Warrants: (i) are not redeemable by the Company and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees.
We paid a total of $3,450,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $609,623 for other costs and expenses related to the IPO. I-Bankers and Dawson James, representatives of the several underwriters in the IPO, received a portion of the underwriting discounts and commissions related to the IPO. We also repaid the promissory note to the Sponsor from the proceeds of the IPO. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and incurred offering costs, the total net proceeds from our IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants was $193,037,877, of which $191,647,500 (or $10.10 per unit sold in the IPO) was placed in the trust account. Other than as described above, no payments were made by us to directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates.
