REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of P3 Health Partners Inc. (f/k/a Foresight Acquisition Corp.)
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of P3 Health Partners Inc. (f/k/a Foresight Acquisition Corp.) (the Company ) as of December 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the periods ended January 1, 2021 through December 2, 2021 and from August 20, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements ). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the periods January 1, 2021 through December 2, 2021 and from August 20, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company's business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination and the Company's cash and working capital as of December 2, 2021 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as going concern. Management's plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements to not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the PCAOB ) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company's auditor since 2020.

NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
P3 Health Partners Inc. (f/k/a Foresight Acquisition Corp.) (the Company ) was incorporated in Delaware on August 20, 2020. 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 (the Business Combination ).
The Company has three non-operating, wholly-owned subsidiaries, which were formed to facilitate the merger with P3 Health Group Holdings (see below), FAC Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ( Merger Sub ), FAC-A Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation ( Merger Corp-A ), and FAC-B Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation ( Merger Corp-B and, together with Merger Corp-A, the Merger Corps and each, a Merger Corp ).
The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector 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.
Business Combination
On December 3, 2021 (the Closing Date ), the Company consummated the previously announced business combinations (the Business Combinations ) pursuant to (1) the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of May 25, 2021 (as amended, the Merger Agreement ), by and among P3 Health Group Holdings ( P3 ), and FAC Merger Sub LLC, and (2) the transaction and combination agreement, dated as of May 25, 2021 (as amended, the Transaction and Combination Agreement and together with the Merger Agreement, the Transaction Agreements ), by and among Foresight and the Merger Corps, CPF P3 Blocker-A, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ( Blocker-A ), CPF P3 Blocker-B, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ( Blocker-B and, together with Blocker-A, the Blockers and each, a Blocker ), CPF P3 Splitter, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ( Splitter ), Chicago Pacific Founders Fund-A, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ( Blocker A Seller ), and Chicago Pacific Founders Fund-B, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ( Blocker B Seller and, together with Blocker A Seller, the Blocker Sellers and each, a Blocker Seller ), pursuant to which, among other things, P3 Health Group Holdings merged with and into Merger Sub (the P3 Merger ), with Merger Sub as the surviving company, which was renamed P3 Health Group, LLC ( P3 LLC ), and the Merger Corps merged with and into the Blockers, with the Blockers as the surviving entities and wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the Business Combinations ). Upon completion of the Business Combinations (the Closing ), the Company and P3 LLC were organized in an Up-C structure in which all of the P3 LLC operating subsidiaries are held directly or indirectly by P3 LLC, and the Company directly owned approximately 17.1% of P3 LLC and became the sole manager of P3 LLC.
On December 3, 2021, certain investors (the Subscribers ) purchased from the Company an aggregate of 20,370,307 shares of Class A Common Stock (the PIPE Shares ), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $203.7 million, pursuant to separate subscription agreements (the Subscription Agreements ) entered into effective as of May 25, 2021, as amended by the Consent and Amendment to Subscription Agreement, entered into on November 19, 2021. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company gave certain registration rights to the Subscribers with respect to the PIPE Shares. The sale of PIPE Shares was consummated concurrently with the Closing.
In connection with the Closing, the Company also issued (i) 8,732,517 shares of Class A Common Stock to the Blocker Sellers (including 723,291 shares of Class A Common Stock held by the escrow agent) pursuant to the Transaction and Combination Agreement, and (ii) 202,024,923 shares of Class V Common Stock to the P3 Sellers other than the Blocker Sellers (including 17,923,782 shares of Class V Common Stock held by the escrow agent), pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
Business Prior to the Business Combination
As of December 2, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from August 20, 2020 (inception) through December 2, 2021 relates to the Company's formation and the initial public offering ( Initial Public Offering ), which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company has generated non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
The registration statement for the Company's Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 9, 2021. On February 12, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 31,625,000 units (the Units and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the Public Shares ), which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 4,125,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $316,250,000, which is described in Note 3.
On October 4, 2021, all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at the direction of the holders. The transfer restrictions and agreement to waive redemption rights and rights to liquidating distributions apply to the shares of Class A Common Stock received upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 832,500 units (each, a Private Placement Unit and, collectively, the Private Placement Units ) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to Foresight Sponsor Group, LLC (the Sponsor ) and FA Co-Investment LLC (an affiliate of one of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering) ( FA Co-Investment and, together with the Sponsor, the Sponsors ) generating gross proceeds of $8,325,000, which is described in Note 4.
Transaction costs amounted to $6,827,967, consisting of $6,325,000 of underwriting fees, and $502,967 of other offering costs.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on February 12, 2021, an amount of $316,250,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the Trust Account ), invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act ), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company's stockholders, as described below except that interest earned on the Trust Account can be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of December 2, 2021, the Company had $100,935 in its operating bank accounts, $316,267,136 in marketable securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem stock in connection therewith and a working capital deficit of $20,793,627, which excludes franchise taxes payable of $200,000. On August 19, 2021, the sponsor committed to provide up to $300,000 in working capital loans as needed by the Company in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination. The loans, if issued, will be non-interest bearing, unsecured and will be repaid upon the consummation of an initial business combination. If the Company had not consummated the initial business combination, all amounts loaned to the Company would have been forgiven except to the extent the Company had funds available outside of the Trust Account to repay such loans. On October 27, 2021, the sponsor committed to provide up to an additional $600,000 in working capital loans as needed by the Company in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination. The loans will follow the same structure as the $300,000 working capital loans as described above. The total commitment provided by the Sponsor will total $900,000, none of which had been borrowed as of December 2, 2021.
Until the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company used the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating target businesses, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar location of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses and structuring, negotiating and completing a Business Combination, which was the Business Combination with P3. The Company completed its Business Combination with P3 on December 3, 2021.
In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board's ( FASB ) Accounting Standards Update ( ASU ) 2014-15, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, management has determined that its future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including its rate of growth, ability to manage costs and its ability to raise additional capital when needed. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding when needed, it will have to curtail it activities and reduce costs. As a result of these matters, substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company's financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy is not determinable as of the date of these financial statements. 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 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ( U.S. GAAP ) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act ), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company's financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
The preparation of 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. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the private warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly 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 December 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Cash Held in Trust Account
At December 2, 2021, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held cash.
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ( ASC ) Topic 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company's control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders' equity. The Company's Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company's control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity section of the Company's balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.
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 Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB ) Accounting Standards Codification ( ASC ) 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 ordinary shares, 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 operations. The fair value of the private warrants was estimated using a binomial lattice simulation approach (see Note 11).
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020. 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 is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the year ended December 2, 2021 due to the valuation allowance recorded on the Company's net operating losses and permanent differences.
Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share.
The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 10,819,167 shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Concentration of 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 had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
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). These tiers include:
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet 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.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB ) issued Accounting Standards Update ( ASU ) 2020-06, Debt Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) ( ASU 2020-06 ) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity's own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity's own equity ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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 Company's financial statements.

Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant ( Public Warrant ).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsors have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 832,500 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $8,325,000, in a private placement. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock ( Private Placement Share or, collectively, Private Placement Shares ) and one-third of one warrant (each, a Private Placement Warrant ). Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account.
NOTE 5 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In October 2020, the Sponsors purchased an aggregate of 7,906,250 shares (the Founder Shares ) of the Company's Class B common stock for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 1,031,250 shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters' over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares will equal 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (not including the Private Placement Shares). As a result of the underwriters' election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, no Founder Shares are currently subject to forfeiture.
The Sponsors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A 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 a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
On October 4, 2021, all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at the direction of the holders. The transfer restrictions and agreement to waive redemption rights and rights to liquidating distributions apply to the shares of Class A Common Stock received upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock.
