TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT
1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Capital Two, Inc. (the "Company") is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on March 11, 2022. The Company was formed
for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business
combination with one or more businesses (a "Business Combination"). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or
geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and,
as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
of August 9, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 11, 2022 (inception) through
August 9, 2022 relates to the Company's formation and initial public offering ("Initial Public Offering"). The Company
will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate
non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected
December 31 as its fiscal year end.
registration statement for the Company's Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 4, 2022. On August 9,
2022, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units, (the "Units" and, with respect to the Class
A common stock included in the Units sold, the "Public Shares"), including 1,500,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise
of the underwriters' over-allotment option in full, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000, which is discussed in Note
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 634,375 units (the "Placement Units")
at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit in a private placement to Mehana Capital LLC (the "Sponsor"), including 63,000 Placement
Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option in full, generating gross proceeds of $6,343,750,
which is described in Note 4.
the closing of the Initial Public Offering on August 9, 2022, an amount of $117,875,000 ($10.25 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the
sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the "Trust
Account"), and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with maturities of 185 days or less or in money market
funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury
obligations, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust
Account, as described below.
costs related to the issuances described above amounted to $6,637,645, consisting of $1,955,000 of cash underwriting fees, $4,025,000
of deferred underwriting fees, $67,275 of costs related to Representative Shares and $590,370 of other offering costs.
In addition, at August 9, 2022, $951,342 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes.
Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
and the sale of the Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating
a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company
must complete a Business Combination with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least
80% of the value of the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income
earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into an initial Business Combination. 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 of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Company will provide its holders of Public Shares (the "Public Stockholders") with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion
of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve
the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of
a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will
be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.25 per Public
Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its
tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company's
warrants. The Public Shares subject to redemption will be recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion
of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting
Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480").
Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of such
Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder
approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the amended and restated certificate
of incorporation (the "Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation") provides that a Public Stockholder, together with
any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as
defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), will be restricted from
seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares without the Company's prior written consent.
a stockholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the
Company will offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),
and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC
prior to completing a Business Combination.
Sponsor has agreed (a) to vote its Class B common stock, the common stock included in the Placement Units and the Public Shares
purchased in the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination, (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the Company's pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of a Business
Combination unless the Company provides dissenting Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction
with any such amendment; (c) not to redeem any shares (including the Class B common stock) and Placement Units (including underlying
securities) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a Business Combination
(or to sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if the Company does not seek stockholder approval
in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to stockholders'
