NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on January 14, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).
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.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, 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 generates
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 March 4, 2021. On March 9, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,376,598 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 partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment options in the amount of 2,876,598 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $253,765,980 , which is described in Note 4.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,100,214 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings Sponsor III, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $7,650,321 , which is described in Note 5.
Transaction costs amounted to $14,386,571 , consisting of $5,075,320 of underwriting fees, $8,881,809 of deferred underwriting fees and $429,442 of other offering costs.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on March 9, 2021, an amount of $253,765,980 ($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”), and will be invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule2a-7promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
Initial Business Combination
On June 7, 2021, the Company, a Delaware corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Bear Merger Company I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”), Bear Merger Company II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub” and together with First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), and Dave Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Dave”), pursuant to which, among other things: (a) First Merger Sub will merge with and into Dave (the “First Merger”), with Dave being the surviving corporation of the First Merger (such company, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, the “Surviving Corporation”); and (b) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Second Merger Sub being the surviving company of the Second Merger. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”), including the Mergers, will constitute a “Business Combination” as contemplated by the Company’s existing amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of Dave, including holders of restricted shares of the Dave’s Common Stock (“Dave Restricted Stock”) (such holders, collectively, the “Dave Stockholders”) and holders of vested Dave Options (as defined below), will receive aggregate merger consideration with an implied value of $3,500,000,000 (the “Equity Value”), consisting of a number of shares of Company Common Stock (as defined and more fully described below), with each deemed to have a value of $10.00 per share, equal to the Equity Value divided by $10.00 (the “Aggregate Stock Consideration”).

For more detailed information about the Merger Agreement and the proposed business combination, see our Current Report on
Form 8-K
filed with the SEC on June 7, 2021 (File No. 001-40161)
and the prospectus included in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on October 6, 2021 (File No. 333-260083)
(the “Form S-4”), as amended, and other filings that the Company makes with the SEC discussing the proposed Transactions. Unless specifically stated, this Quarterly Report does not give effect to the proposed Transactions and does not contain the risks associated with the proposed Transactions. Such risks and effects relating to the proposed Transactions are included in the Form S-4. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, 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 one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80 % of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions) at the time of the agreement to enter into 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 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.
The Company will provide the holders of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock (the “Public Stockholders”), par value $0.0001 per share, sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Shares”) 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 held in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per Public Share). The 5,000,001 . If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection

amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Public Shares will be recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. The Company will not redeem the Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $7

with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.
The 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 redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15 % or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors (the “initial stockholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or
pre-initial
Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by March 9, 2023 (the “Combination Period”), the Company 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 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

However, if the initial stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 7) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 .
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) not will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $119,603 in its operating bank accounts and working capital of deficit $1,231,127 .
Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity needs had been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from Sponsor to cover for certain formation and offering costs in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares and the loan of up to $300,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to the Note (see Note 6).
On March 9, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,376,598 Units, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment options in the amount of 2,876,598 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $253,765,980 , which is described in Note 4.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,100,214 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $7,650,321 , which is described in Note 5.
Transaction costs amounted to $14,386,571 , consisting of $5,075,320 of underwriting fees, $8,881,809 of deferred underwriting fees and $429,442 of other offering costs.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on March 9, 2021, an amount of $253,765,980 ($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 the Trust Account.
For the period from January 14, 2021 through September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $2,050,955 . Net loss of $7,805,910 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $16,166 , changes in fair value of warrant liability of $3,819,820 , and transaction costs allocated to warrant liabilities of $600,571 . Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $1,350,730 of cash for operating activities.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $119,603 in its operating bank accounts and working capital of deficit $1,231,127 . As of September 30, 2021, the Company had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $253,782,146 consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by the Company to pay taxes. Through September 30, 2021, the Company has not withdrawn any interest earned from the Trust Account.
The Company intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete a Business Combination. To the extent that the Company’s capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue growth strategies.
The Company intends to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (see Note 6). If we complete a Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a 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 for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

NOTE 2. REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2021, management determined it should revise its previously reported financial statements. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company determined that at the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering (including the sale of the shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment) it had improperly valued its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption at the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering and the closing of the sale of shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment, it had improperly classified certain of its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption. The Company previously determined the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per Class A common stock while also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001 . Management determined that the Class A common stock issued during the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered outside the Company’s control. Therefore, management concluded that temporary equity should include all Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, resulting in the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption being equal to their redemption value. As a result, management has noted a reclassification adjustment related to temporary equity and permanent equity. This resulted in an adjustment to the initial carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional
paid-in
capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A common stock. In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A common stock subject to redemption, the Company also revised its earnings per share calculation to allocate net income (loss) evenly to Class A and Class B common stock. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of common stock share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company.
There has been no change in the Company’s total assets, liabilities or operating results.
The impact of the revision on the Company’s financial statements is reflected in the following table.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form
10-Q
and Article 8 of Regulation S-X
of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed consolidated or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus for its Initial Public Offering as filed with the SEC on March 8, 2021. The interim results for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and for the period from January 14, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the 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 statement with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated 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 revenues and 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 warrant liability. 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 no t have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021.
Offering Costs
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock issued were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $13,786,001 were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, and $600,570 of the offering costs were related to the warrant liabilities and charged to the statement of operations.
Warrant Liabilities
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815 We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in 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 our own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional
paid-in
capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash
gain or loss on the statements of operations. 10

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, if any, are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A 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, Class A 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 September 30, 2021, 25,376,598 shares of 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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
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. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A common stock resulted in charges against additional
paid-in
capital and accumulated deficit. At September 30, 2021, the Class A common stock reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Income Taxes
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’s 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. Deferred tax assets were deemed to be de minimis as of September 30, 2021.
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 the interest and penalties as of September 30, 2021. 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 provision for income taxes was deemed to be de minimis for the periods ended September 30, 2021.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock for the period. The Company applies the
two-class
method in calculating earnings per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 16,516,041 shares of Class A common stock in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the periods presented.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000 . The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximate the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 25,376,598 Units, which includes a partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 2,876,598 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 9).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,100,214 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, or $7,650,320 in the aggregate, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment options in the amount of 2,876,598 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $253,765,980 . Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Founder Shares
On January 19, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering and formation costs of the Company in consideration for 6,468,750 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”). On January 22, 2021, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 60,000 Founder Shares to members of the Company’s board of directors, resulting in the Sponsor holding 6,408,750 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 843,750 shares that are subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares will equal, on an 20 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering. In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the forfeiture of the remaining over-allotment option, 124,600 Founder Shares were forfeited and 719,150 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture resulting in an aggregate of 6,344,150 Founder Shares issued and outstanding.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and for the period from January 14, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $30,000 and $70,000 in fees for these services, respectively, of which $60,000 is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 2021.
Related Party Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

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 closing on the merger agreement, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on March 4, 2021, the holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Subscription Agreements
On June 7, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) pursuant to which, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, the PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 21,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in a private placement for $10.00 per share (the “Private Placement”). The proceeds from the Private Placement will be partially used to fund the Repurchase and for general working capital purposes following the Closing.
Each Subscription Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the mutual written agreement of the parties to such Subscription Agreement, and (c) February 3, 2022, if the Closing has not occurred by such date.
On August 17, 2021, Alameda Research agreed to pre-fund its obligation under the Subscription Agreement between the Company and Alameda Research (the “Alameda Subscription Agreement”) to subscribe for 1,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for $15,000,000 of the aggregate proceeds of the Private Placement. In connection therewith, Alameda Research received a promissory note, dated August 17, 2021, issued by Dave in the principal amount of $15,000,000 (the “Promissory Note”), and the Company and Alameda Research entered into an amendment to the Alameda Subscription Agreement, dated August 17, 2021 (the “Subscription Agreement Amendment”), to (i) correct a scrivener’s error in with respect to the name of Alameda Research reflected therein and (ii) provide for the satisfaction of Alameda Research’s obligation to pay the $15,000,000 purchase price under the Alameda Subscription Agreement by way of a full discharge of Dave’s obligations to pay the principal under the Promissory Note, which full discharge will automatically occur upon the Company’s issuance to Alameda Research of the shares of Class A Common Stock at the closing of the Private Placement. As of the date hereof, all of the PIPE Investors have consented to the Subscription Agreement Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby.

NOTE 9. WARRANT LIABILITIES
As of September 30, 2021, there are 6,344,150 Public Warrants outstanding and 5,100,214 Private Warrants outstanding. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act).
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 best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing 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 will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A 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 Class A 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 the initial stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60 % of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115 % of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180 % of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
As of September 30, 2021, there were 5,100,214 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. The Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be
non-redeemable
so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. 18

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
At September 30, 2021, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $253,782,146 in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury Securities. Through September 30, 2021, the Company withdrew no interest earned on the Trust.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on our balance sheet. 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 consolidated statements of operations.
The Private Placement Warrants were initially valued using a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Modified Black Scholes model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility as of the IPO date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. The expected volatility as of subsequent valuation dates was implied from the Company’s own public warrant pricing. A Black Scholes Model was used in estimating the fair value of the public warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available, using the same expected volatility as was used in measuring the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the warrants from the Units, the close price of the public warrant price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.
The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model Public Warrants and the Black-Scholes-Merton model for the Private Placement Warrants were as follows:

Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 14, 2021 the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
On June 7, 2021, the Company, a Delaware corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Bear Merger Company I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”), Bear Merger Company II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub” and together with First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), and Dave Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Dave”), pursuant to which, among other things: (a) First Merger Sub will merge with and into Dave (the “First Merger”), with Dave being the surviving corporation of the First Merger (such company, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, the “Surviving Corporation”); and (b) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Second Merger Sub being the surviving company of the Second Merger. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”), including the Mergers, will constitute a “Business Combination” as contemplated by the Company’s existing amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
Recapitalization
Prior to the closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”), Dave will cause (collectively, the “Recapitalization”): (a) each share of Dave’s preferred stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “Effective Time”) to automatically convert into a number of shares of Dave’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Dave Common Stock”), at their respective conversion ratio; (b) a dual-class Dave common stock structure to be implemented consisting of (x) Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Dave Class A Common Stock”), with respect to which each holder thereof has one (1) vote per share on each matter subject to the vote of the Dave stockholders, and (y) Class V common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Dave Class V Common Stock” and together with the Dave Class A Common Stock (including any vested shares of restricted Dave Common stock), the “Dave Stock”), with respect to which each holder thereof has ten (10) votes per share on each matter subject to the vote of the Dave stockholders; (c) each authorized share of the Dave Common Stock to automatically convert, effective as of the Recapitalization, into a share of Dave Class A Common Stock; and (d) immediately thereafter, each share of Dave Class A Common Stock held by Jason Wilk, the Chief Executive Officer
and Co-Founder of
Dave (“Mr. Wilk”), as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Recapitalization to be exchanged or converted into one (1) share of Dave Class V Common Stock. Merger Consideration
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of Dave, including holders of restricted shares of the Dave’s Common Stock (“Dave Restricted Stock”) (such holders, collectively, the “Dave Stockholders”) and holders of vested Dave Options (as defined below), will receive aggregate merger consideration with an implied value of $3,500,000,000 (the “Equity Value”), consisting of a number of shares of Company Common Stock (as defined and more fully described below), with each deemed to have a value of $10.00 per share, equal to the Equity Value divided by $10.00 (the “Aggregate Stock Consideration”).
20
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, (a) each share of Dave Class A Common Stock held by the Dave Stockholders will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly issued Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 (“Company Class A Common Stock”), equal to an exchange ratio (the “Per Share Dave Stock Consideration”) determined by dividing the Aggregate Stock Consideration by the sum of (without duplication): (i) the aggregate number of shares of Dave Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and following the consummation of the Recapitalization (including all shares of Dave Restricted Stock, whether vested or unvested); (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Dave Stock that are issuable upon the exercise or settlement of all Dave Options and Dave
Non-Plan
Options (in each case, as defined below) that are unexpired, issued, outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming, for purposes of this calculation, that all such Dave Options and Dave Non-Plan
Options are exercised on a net exercise basis based on the assumption, solely for purposes of this calculation, that the fair market value of each share underlying such Dave Options or Dave Non-Plan Options
equals (x) the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration multiplied by (y) ten dollars ($10.00)); and (iii) the aggregate number of shares of Dave Stock that are issuable upon the exercise or settlement of all Dave Warrants that are unexpired, issued, outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming, for purposes of this calculation, that all such Dave Warrants are vested and exercised on a net exercise basis based on the assumption, solely for purposes of this calculation, that the fair market value of each share underlying such Dave Warrants equals the (x) Per Share Dave Stock Consideration multiplied by (y) ten dollars ($10.00)) (the “Dave Stock Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares”) and (b) each share of Dave Class V Common Stock held by the Dave Stockholders will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly authorized and issued Class V common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 (“Company Class V Common Stock” and together with the Company Class A Common Stock, “Company Common Stock”), equal to the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration. Each option to purchase shares of capital stock of Dave (“Dave Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) (other than certain options to purchase shares of capital stock of Dave granted outside of the terms and conditions of Dave’s stock plans (“Dave
Non-Plan Options”))
will be automatically assumed by the Company and converted into an option to acquire an adjusted number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock (pursuant to a ratio based on the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration) (each such resulting option, a “Rollover Option”) at an adjusted exercise price per share and will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Dave Option, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the parties to the Merger Agreement may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Options. The shares of Dave Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Dave Options that are outstanding, unexercised and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (such options, the “Unvested Dave Options”) are not included in the calculation of the “Dave Stock Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares” for purposes of the calculation of the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration, and the shares of the Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Rollover Options representing at the Effective Time Unvested Dave Options (such shares, “Unvested Rollover Option Shares”) are not considered a part of the Aggregate Stock Consideration. The Unvested Rollover Option Shares will reduce the shares of Company Class A Common Stock initially available for issuance under the new equity incentive plan that the Company will adopt as of the Closing. Each
Dave Non-Plan Option
that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically cancelled for no consideration. Each award of the Dave Restricted Stock that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically assumed by the Company and converted into an award of restricted stock with respect to an adjusted number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock (pursuant to a ratio based on the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration) (the “Rollover Restricted Stock”) and will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Dave Restricted Stock, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the parties to the Merger Agreement may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Restricted Stock.
Each warrant to purchase shares of capital stock of Dave (“Dave Warrants”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically terminated in accordance with the terms of the applicable Dave Warrant and be of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time.
High Vote Shares
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Closing, the Company’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation will be further amended and restated (the “Company A&R Charter”) to, among other things, (a) establish a dual-class Company Common Stock structure consisting of Company Class A Common Stock and Parent Class V Common Stock, and (b) provide that each share of Company Class A Common Stock will be entitled to one (1) vote per share and each share of Company Class V Common Stock will be entitled to ten (10) votes per share (the “High Vote”). In connection with the Transactions, the shares of Company Common Stock received as consideration by Mr. Wilk will be shares of Company Class V Common Stock, and will entitle Mr. Wilk to the High Vote until such time as such shares of Company Class V Common Stock are exchanged pursuant to the terms of the Company A&R Charter for an equal number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock (i) at the option of Mr. Wilk, (ii) upon a transfer to an unaffiliated third party, (iii) upon termination of Mr. Wilk’s employment with the Company, Dave or any of their subsidiaries for “Cause” (as defined in the Company A&R Charter) or the resignation by Mr. Wilk other than for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Company A&R Charter) and following such resignation Mr. Wilk no longer provides services in a capacity as an officer, employee or director of the Company, (iv) upon Mr. Wilk’s death or incapacity or (v) the date that the number of shares of capital stock of the Company, including any shares of capital stock of the Company underlying any securities (including restricted stock units, options, or other convertible instruments) convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable into shares of capital stock of the Company, held by Mr. Wilk and certain permitted transferees is less than 35% of the number of shares of Class V Common Stock held by Mr. Wilk and such permitted transferees at the Effective Time (whichever is earlier). Mr. Wilk’s shares of Company Class V Common Stock will provide him with approximately 70% of the voting power of the Company Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Effective Time (and prior to any repurchases of shares of the Company Class V Common Stock by Parent pursuant to the Repurchase (as defined and further discussed below)), assuming no redemptions by the Company’s stockholders.
21
The parties to the Merger Agreement have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of Dave and the Company and its subsidiaries prior to the Closing. The Closing is subject to certain customary conditions.
Repurchase Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company, Dave, Mr. Wilk and Kyle Beilman, the Chief Financial Officer of Dave (“Mr. Beilman” and together with Mr. Wilk, the “Selling Holders”), entered into a repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company has agreed to repurchase a certain number of shares of Company Common Stock from the Selling Holders (including shares of Company Class V Common Stock issued to Mr. Wilk in connection with the Transactions), at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, on the business day immediately following the effective time of the Second Merger (the “Repurchase”). The Repurchase is contingent on the amount of Parent Cash (as defined in the Merger Agreement) being in excess of $300 million. If Parent Cash exceeds $300 million, the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Repurchase will be equal to the amount by which Parent Cash exceed $300 million (the “Aggregate Repurchase Price”), $10.00 (provided that in no event will the Aggregate Repurchase Price exceed $60 million). 80% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Repurchase will be allocated to Mr. Wilk, with Mr. Beilman allocated the remaining 20%.

and the prospectus included in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on October 6, 2021 (File No. 333-260083)
(the “Form S-4”), as amended, and other filings that the Company makes with the SEC discussing the proposed Transactions. Unless specifically stated, this Quarterly Report does not give effect to the Transactions and does not contain the risks associated with the Transactions. Such risks and effects relating to the proposed Transactions are included in the Form S-4. Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations (other than searching for a Business Combination after our Initial Public Offering) nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through September 30, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate
non-operating
income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We 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 in connection with completing a Business Combination. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $2,676,840, which consists of formation and operational costs of $1,319,447 and the change in fair value of warrant liability of $1,360,659, offset by interest income earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $3,266.
For the period from January 14, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $7,805,910, which consists of formation and operational costs of $3,401,685, a change in fair value of warrant liability of $3,819,820, and transaction costs allocated to warrant liabilities of $600,571, offset by interest income earned including those on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $16,166.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 9, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,376,598 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 partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment options in the amount of 2,876,598 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $253,765,980.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,100,214 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings Sponsor III, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $7,650,321.
Transaction costs amounted to $14,386,571, consisting of $5,075,320 of underwriting fees, $8,881,809 of deferred underwriting fees and $429,442 of other offering costs.
For the period from January 14, 2021 through September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $2,050,955. Net loss of $7,805,910 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $16,166, changes in fair value of warrant liability of $3,819,820, and transaction costs allocated to warrant liabilities of $600,571. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $1,350,730 of cash for operating activities.
22
As of September 30, 2021, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $253,782,146 consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through September 30, 2021, we have not withdrawn any interest earned from the Trust Account.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered
off-balance
sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance
sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance
sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial
assets. Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement, commencing on March 4, 2021, to pay the Sponsor up to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $8,881,809 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Subscription agreements
On June 7, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) pursuant to which, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, the PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 21,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in a private placement for $10.00 per share (the “Private Placement”). The proceeds from the Private Placement will be partially used to fund the Repurchase and for general working capital purposes following the Closing.
Each Subscription Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the mutual written agreement of the parties to such Subscription Agreement, and (c) February 3, 2022, if the Closing has not occurred by such date.
On August 17, 2021, Alameda Research agreed to pre-fund its obligation under the Subscription Agreement between the Company and Alameda Research (the “Alameda Subscription Agreement”) to subscribe for 1,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for $15,000,000 of the aggregate proceeds of the Private Placement. In connection therewith, Alameda Research received a promissory note, dated August 17, 2021, issued by Dave in the principal amount of $15,000,000 (the “Promissory Note”), and the Company and Alameda Research entered into an amendment to the Alameda Subscription Agreement, dated August 17, 2021 (the “Subscription Agreement Amendment”), to (i) correct a scrivener’s error in with respect to the name of Alameda Research reflected therein and (ii) provide for the satisfaction of Alameda Research’s obligation to pay the $15,000,000 purchase price under the Alameda Subscription Agreement by way of a full discharge of Dave’s obligations to pay the principal under the Promissory Note, which full discharge will automatically occur upon the Company’s issuance to Alameda Research of the shares of Class A Common Stock at the closing of the Private Placement. As of the date hereof, all of the PIPE Investors have consented to the Subscription Agreement Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Warrant Liabilities
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815 We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in 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 our own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional
paid-in
capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash
gain or loss on the statements of operations. 23
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our 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 feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common share outstanding during the period. We apply the
two-class
method in calculating earnings per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
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. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
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 SEC’s 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 the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company has made changes in its internal control over financial reporting to enhance our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our condensed consolidated financial statements, including providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The Company can offer no assurance that these changes will ultimately have the intended effects.
Remediation of a Material weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We recognize the importance of the control environment as it sets the overall tone for the Company and is the foundation for all other components of internal control. Consequently, we designed and implemented remediation measures to address the material weakness previously identified and enhance our internal control over financial reporting. In light of the material weakness, we enhanced our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our condensed consolidated financial statements, including providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The foregoing actions, which we believe remediated the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, were completed as of the date of June 30, 2021.
