The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other factors:

• we have no operating history and no revenues, and you have no basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective;
• our ability to select an appropriate target business or businesses;
• our ability to complete a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”);
• our expectations around the performance of a prospective target business or businesses;
• our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors following our initial Business Combination;
• our officers and directors allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with our business or in approving our initial Business Combination;
• our potential ability to obtain additional financing to complete our initial Business Combination;
• our pool of prospective target businesses;
• our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination due to the uncertainty resulting from the recent COVID-19 pandemic;
• the ability of our officers and directors to generate a number of potential Business Combination opportunities;
• our public securities’ potential liquidity and trading;
• the use of proceeds not held in the trust account or available to us from interest income on the trust account balance;
• the trust account not being subject to claims of third parties;
• our financial performance following our initial public offering (“IPO”); and
• the other risks and uncertainties discussed herein, in our filings with the SEC and in our final prospectus relating to our IPO, filed with the SEC on September 2, 2021.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 20, 2021. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination that we have not yet identified. Our sponsor is Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

Our registration statement for our IPO was declared effective on September 1, 2021. On September 7, 2021, we consummated an IPO of 24,000,000 Units (and with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $240.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $17.5 million, of which approximately $12.0 million and approximately $668,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions and offering costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities, respectively. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 7,500,000 and 1,200,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Odeon Group, LLC, respectively, for an aggregate of 8,700,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds of $8.7 million.

Upon the closing of the IPO and the Private Placement, $241.2 million ($10.05 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and of the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated 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.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO 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.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by December 7, 2023 (the “Combination Period”), which may be extended by our board of directors in their sole discretion on a monthly basis, by depositing $20,000 per month into the Trust Account, up to and including to June 7, 2024, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of such interest may be used 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 the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The issuance of additional shares in a Business Combination:

• may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in our IPO, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B common stock resulted in the issuance of Class A common stock on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B common stock;
• may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A common stock if preference shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A common stock;
• could cause a change in control if a substantial number of our Class A common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;
• may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and
• may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock.

Similarly, if we issue debt or otherwise incur significant debt, it could result in:

• default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;
• acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
• our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt is payable on demand;
• our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt is outstanding;
• our inability to pay dividends on our Class A common stock;
• using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our Class A common stock if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;
• limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;
• increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and
• limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

Initial Proposed Business Combination

On April 3, 2023, Insight Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Avila Amalco Sub Inc., an Alberta corporation (“Amalco Sub”) and Avila Energy Corporation, an Alberta corporation (“Avila”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “Avila BCA”) pursuant to which the Company will acquire Avila for consideration of shares of the Company following its redomicile into the Province of Alberta. The terms of the Avila BCA, which contained customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions and other terms relating to the mergers and the other transactions contemplated thereby, are summarized below. The Company’s entry into the Avila BCA was previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed on April 4, 2023, and is incorporated herein by reference.

On August 10, 2023, the Company and Avila entered into a Letter Agreement providing for the mutual termination of the Avila BCA. The Letter Agreement provides for the mutual release of claims against the other party and also provides that Avila will pay to SPAC $300,000 in partial reimbursement of expenses incurred by SPAC in connection with the Avila BCA (the “Avila Payment”). The Avila Payment is due and payable as follows: 1) up to $300,000 immediately upon Avila’s receipt of net proceeds from any financing, public or private, in excess of U.S. $3,000,000, -or- (2) (i) $50,000 by December 1, 2023, (ii) $100,000 by February 1, 2024 and (iii) $150,000 by April 1, 2024. The termination of the Avila BCA was previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed on August 11, 2023, and is incorporated herein by reference.

As previously disclosed, on March 29, 2023, the Company entered into a forward share purchase agreement (the “Forward Share Purchase Agreement”) with Avila, Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP, Meteora Capital Partners, LP and Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (collectively, “Seller”) for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction (the “Forward Purchase Transaction”). The Forward Share Purchase Agreement was terminated as a result of the termination of the Avila BCA on August 10, 2023, as described above.

On August 30, 2023, the Company, Sponsor and Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”), an investor, entered into an agreement (the Subscription Agreement”) in which Polar has agreed to fund the Sponsor up to $1,000,000, pursuant to written draw down requests (a “Capital Call”), and the Sponsor will in turn loan such funds to the Company, to cover the Company’s working capital expenses (each a “Sponsor Loan”). In September 2023, Polar funded Sponsor $150,000 under the Subscription Agreement and the Sponsor loaned the Company $150,000 from Polar. All subsequent Capital Calls are subject to the mutual consent of the Company, Sponsor and Polar. All Capital Calls funded by Polar shall not accrue interest and are repayable by the Sponsor at the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. At the option of Polar, all Capital Calls funded by Polar may be repaid by the Company through the issuance of 1 share of Class A Common Stock for each $10 of the outstanding Capital Calls funded by Polar. Sponsor is also responsible to reimburse Polar for its reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with the Subscription Agreement up to $5,000. In the event, a business combination does not occur and the Company’s liquidates, then all Capital Calls funded by Polar out of cash held in the Sponsor’s bank accounts and/or the Company’s bank accounts, excluding the Company’s Trust Account. The Sponsor Loans shall not accrue interest and shall be repaid by the Company at the closing of the business combination.

In consideration of the funds received, the Company will issue, at the closing of its business combination, to Polar one (1) shares of the company’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar funds through the Capital Calls (“Subscription Shares”). The Subscription Shares shall not be subject to any transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies. The Subscription Shares (i) to the extent feasible and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations shall be registered as part of any registration statement issuing shares before or in connect ion with the Business Combination Closing or (ii) if no such registration statement is filed in connection with the Business Combination Closing, shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the Company or the surviving entity following the Business Combination Closing, which shall be filed no later than 30 days after the Business Combination Closing and declared effective no later than 90 days after the Business Combination Closing. The Sponsor shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any securities owned by the Sponsor until the Subscription Shares have been transferred to the Investor and the registration statement has been made effective.

In the event the Sponsor of the Company default in their obligations under the Subscription Agreement (a “Default”), then the Sponsor shall be required to transfer to Polar 0.1 share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock for each $1 that Polar has funded under the Capital Calls as of the date of such Default and shall be required repeat such issuance for each month the such Default continues.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is attached to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 as Exhibit 10.10, which was filed on October 25, 2023, and incorporated herein by reference.

Recent Developments – Execution of the Alpha Modus Business Combination Agreement

Effective as of October 13, 2023, the Company, IAC Merger Sub Inc., a Florida corporation (“Merger Sub”) and Alpha Modus, Corp., a Florida corporation (“Alpha Modus”), entered into a business combination agreement and plan of merger (the “Alpha Modus BCA”) pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Alpha Modus with Alpha Modus as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has unanimously approved and declared advisable the Alpha Modus BCA, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby (the “Proposed Transactions”). A copy of the Alpha Modus BCA is filed as Exhibit 2.1 in the current report on Form 8-K dated October 17, 2023. In connection with entering into the Alpha Modus BCA, in October 2023, the Company formed IAC Merger Sub Inc, a Florida corporation.

On December 28, 2023, the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the proposed business combination with Alpha Modus, Corp. based in Metro-Charlotte, NC (the “Business Combination”).

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of March 31, 2024, we had $53,377 in our operating bank account for operating expenses and working capital deficit of $4,655,624.

Our liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the IPO were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain offering costs on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of the Founder Shares, and the loan from the Sponsor of approximately $163,000 under the Note. We repaid $157,000 of the Note balance on September 7, 2021 and repaid the remaining balance of approximately $6,000 in full on September 13, 2021, at which time the Note was terminated. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, our liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. 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”). As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

On August 17, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $480,000 (the “Note”) to the Sponsor, in exchange for the Sponsor advancing $480,000 to the Company to fund six one-month extensions of the amount of time the Company has to complete its initial business combination, from March 7, 2023 to September 7, 2023. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon the closing of an initial business combination by the Company. In addition, at the option of the holder, the Note may be paid by the Company through the issuance of private placement warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per unit. The loan will be forgiven, except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Company’s trust account, by the Sponsor, if Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination. On November 6, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a written agreement (the “Rescission Agreement”) to rescind and nullify that certain promissory note in the principal amount of $480,000 and executed on August 17, 2023 (the “Note”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor the principal amount of $480,000 subject to the terms and conditions of the Note. Upon execution and delivery of the Rescission Agreement, the Note, in its entirety, is hereby irrevocably rescinded, abrogated, cancelled and rendered null and void ab initio and of no force or effect whatsoever, and the positions among the Company and the Sponsor shall be restored to what would have existed had they not entered into the Note.

On August 30, 2023, the Company, Sponsor and Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”), an investor, entered into an agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) in which Polar has agreed to fund the Sponsor up to $1,000,000, pursuant to written draw down requests (a “Capital Call”), and the Sponsor will in turn loan such funds to the Company, to cover the Company’s working capital expenses (each a “Sponsor Loan”). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Polar funded Sponsor additional $200,000 under the Subscription Agreement and the Sponsor loaned the Company $200,000 from Polar. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Polar funded Sponsor $600,000 under the Subscription Agreement and the Sponsor loaned the Company $600,000 from Polar. . As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 there were $800,000 and $600,000 outstanding due to Polar, respectively.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company had until November 7, 2023 (or up to June 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extend), to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. We have determined that the insufficient liquidity as well as the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to complete a Business Combination by close of business on June 7, 2024. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after June 7, 2024.

Risks and Uncertainties

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury.

The Company held a meeting on March 6, 2023 where the stockholders voted to approve a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the Combination Period, from March 7, 2023, monthly for up to six additional months at the election of the Company, ultimately until as late as September 7, 2023 (the “Extension”, and such extension date the “Extended Date”). In connection with the March 6, 2023 meeting, 21,151,393 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed with a total redemption payment of $215,621,387. As a result, the Company booked a liability of $2,156,214 for the excise tax based on 1% of shares redeemed during the reporting period. For interim periods, an entity is not required to estimate future stock repurchases and stock issuances to measure its excise tax obligation. Rather, an entity can generally record the obligation on an as-incurred basis. In other words, the excise tax obligation recognized at the end of a quarterly financial reporting period is calculated as if the end of the quarterly period was the end of the annual period for which the excise tax obligation is payable.

Pursuant to the AM BCA, (i) in the event the business combination contemplated by the AM BCA occurs, then the surviving company shall pay the Company’s excise tax liability; (ii) if Alpha Modus does not obtain its shareholders approval of the business combination, or Alpha Modus breaches the AM BCA, then Alpha Modus will be responsible to pay the Company’s excise tax liability; and (iii) if an Alpha Modus material adverse effect occurs and the business combination does not close, or if Alpha Modus fails to close the business combination for any reason other than a material breach by the Company, then Alpha Modus will be responsible to pay the Company’s excise tax liability. In all other circumstances the Company will be responsible to pay the Company’s excise tax liability, except if the Company liquidates prior to December 31, 2023, in which event there will be no excise tax liability. The Company will not use any of the funds held in the Trust Account and any additional amounts deposited into the Trust Account, as well as any interest earned thereon, to pay for the Company’s excise tax liability. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holders, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax by the Company have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

In October 2023, the Israel-Hamas war commenced. As a result of the war, instability in the Middle East and various other regions of the world may occur and effect the world economy. Various nations, including the United States, as a reaction to the Israel-Hamas war have begun taking actions that may further affect the world economy. Such effects on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to March 31, 2024 was in preparation for our formation, the IPO and search for a business combination target. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had net loss of approximately $634,000, which consisted of approximately $60,000 of loss on change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, approximately $353,000 in general and administrative costs, approximately $75,000 in general and administrative costs – related party, approximately $39,000 franchise tax expenses, approximately $227,000 interest expense – debt discount and approximately $21,000 income tax expense, partially offset by approximately $141,000 of gain on investments held in Trust Account.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had net income of approximately $935,000, which consisted of approximately $1.9 million of gain on investments held in Trust Account and approximately $273,000 in other income, partially offset by approximately $176,000 change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, approximately $506,000 in general and administrative costs, approximately $75,000 in general and administrative costs – related party, income tax expense of approximately $416,000 and approximately $50,000 franchise tax expenses.

Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares), are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and stockholder rights agreement signed prior to the consummation of the IPO. These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $4.8 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the IPO. An additional fee of $0.50 per unit, or $12.0 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. 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. On April 3, 2023, the Company received a waiver from one of the underwriters of its Initial Public Offering pursuant to which such underwriter waived all rights to $5.4 million of its $8.4 million deferred underwriting commissions payable upon completion of an initial Business Combination. In connection with this waiver, the underwriter also agreed that the remainder of the deferred underwriting fee of $3.0 million will be payable upon the consummation of the business combination. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $6,600,000 and $6,600,000 were outstanding under deferred underwriting fee payable, respectively.

Services Agreement

On September 1, 2021, we entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which we agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to or incurred by members of our management team until the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred approximately $30,000 and $30,000, respectively, under the services agreement in the statements of operations. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $190,000 and $160,000, respectively, was included in accrued expenses—related party on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Board has also approved payments of up to $15,000 per month, through the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation, to members of our management team for services rendered to us. In addition, the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or the Company’s or their affiliates. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred approximately $45,000 and $45,000, respectively, under the services agreement in the statements of operations. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $270,000 and $225,000, respectively, was included in due to related party on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company has not identified any critical accounting estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K.

JOBS Act

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the consolidated financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the executive compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our IPO or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Subsequent Events

During the preparation of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Board learned that between March 2, 2023 and December 5, 2023, the Company withdrew an aggregate amount of $2,497,248.57 from the Trust Account pursuant to seven separate written withdrawal requests to Continental Stock Transfer and Trust (“Continental”), the trustee for the Trust Account for the payment of taxes. Jeff Gary, consistent with his position as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, signed and delivered each of the seven separate written withdrawal requests to Continental. Between March 10, 2023 and December 11, 2023 the Company paid an aggregate amount of $1,447,889.17 of which $1,130,000, in four payments, was paid for estimated income tax payments for 2022 and 2023 and $317,889.17, in three payments, was paid for Delaware franchise taxes. Mr. Gary, acting in his capacity as CFO, made each of the seven payments for estimated taxes and Delaware franchise taxes. The Board learned further that between March 2, 2023 and December 31, 2023, Mr. Gary used the remaining $1,049,359.40, that was withdrawn from the Trust Account for tax purposes to pay other business expenses of the Company. Each of the transactions described above was recorded on the books of the Company and no money was used for anything other than tax payments or appropriate Company business related expenses. The $1,049,359.40 that was withdrawn from the Trust Account for tax purposes to pay business expenses of the Company was fully paid back to the Trust Account by the Sponsor on March 15, 2024 and on March 26, 2024, and the Sponsor wired an additional $36,285.07 in to the Trust Account to reimburse the Trust Account for interest that would have accrued on the funds that were erroneously withdrawn from the Trust Account. As a result, there has been no financial loss to shareholders or the Trust Account. The Sponsor’s reimbursement of the Trust Account in the amount of $1,085,644.32 is memorialized in a Capital Contribution Agreement, dated May 9, 2024 between Insight Acquisition Corp. and Insight Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.20.

On July 20, 2023 Mr. Gary effected the transfer of $480,000 from the Company’s operating account to the Sponsor and on August 7, 2023, Mr. Gary effected the transfer of an additional $411,000 from the Company’s operating account to the Sponsor. The Board learned on or about November 14, 2023, that Mr. Gary had transferred funds from the Company’s operating account to the Sponsor. Mr. Gary informed the Board that the money was being used by the Sponsor to pay Company expenses. The Board directed Mr. Gary to have the Sponsor return all such funds to the Company. The Sponsor transferred $891,000 to the Company between October 10, 2023 and November 2, 2023.

As a result of the above conduct by Mr. Gary, the Board adopted resolutions taking the following actions:

1. On April 21, 2024, Mr. Gary was removed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

2. On April 21, 2024, Mr. Gary was appointed as an Assistant Finance Manager of the Company and shall report to the new Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

3. On April 21, 2024, Michael Singer, the Executive Chairman of the Company, was appointed to the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

4. On April 21, 2024, Mr. Gary resigned as a director of the Company and the Board has accepted Mr. Gary’s resignation.

5. Mr. Gary shall be removed from all Company bank accounts, including the Trust Account and Mr. Gary’s authority to withdraw funds from the Company bank accounts, including the Trust Account has been terminated.

6. On April 21, 2024, the Board engaged Glenn Worman as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and that Mr. Worman will approve and sign the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K .

Mr. Worman’s background is as follows:

10. Mr. Gary shall not be the Company’s designee to be a member of the board of directors of the post-transaction company in the Company’s planned business combination with Alpha Modus Corp.

The removal of Mr. Gary as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the appointment of Mr. Gary as an Assistant Finance Manager of the Company, Mr. Gary’s resignation as a director of the Company, the appointment of Michael Singer as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the appointment of Glenn Worman as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company was previously disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 24, 2024 and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

On May 9, 2024, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a capital contribution agreement, which memorialized that the $1,085,644.32 deposited by the Sponsor in the Company’s trust account in March 2024, were to be considered a capital contribution to the Company. A copy of the Capital Contribution Agreement, effective as of May 9, 2024, between the Company and the Sponsor is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.14.

On May 15, 2024, the Company, Sponsor and Polar entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Subscription Agreement (the Amendment”) pursuant to which Polar’s aggregate advance under the Subscription Agreement was reduced from $1,000,000 to $975,000 and in the event the Company consummates the business combination with Alpha Modus Corp., then the Company will not be obligated to issue to Polar one (1) share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar advances to the Company under at Subscription Agreement at the closing of the business combination. However, if the Company consummates a business combination with an entity other than Alpha Modus, Corp., then the Company is obligated to issue to Polar one (1) share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar advances to the Company under at Subscription Agreement at the closing of the business combination with an entity other than Alpha Modus, Corp. (the “Subscription Shares”). The Subscription Shares shall be subject to no transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies. The Subscription Shares (i) to the extent feasible and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations shall be registered as part of any registration statement issuing shares before or in connection with the closing of the business combination or (ii) if no such registration statement is filed in connection with the closing of the business combination, shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the Company or the surviving entity following the closing of the business combination, which shall be filed no later than 30 days after the closing of the business combination and declared effective no later than 90 days after the closing of the business combination. Sponsor shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any securities owned by the Sponsor until the Subscription Shares have been transferred to the Investor and the registration statement has been made effective.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.15.

On June 5, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting the Company’s stockholders approved the filing of a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) with the Delaware Secretary of State to modify the terms and extend time by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination (the “Business Combination”) from June 7, 2024 to December 7, 2024, provided that the Company deposits the lesser of $20,000 and $0.02 for each outstanding share of common stock sold in the Company’s initial public offering into the Trust Account, as defined in the Charter for each one-month extension. In connection with the stockholder’s vote at the Special Meeting and the planned filing of the Third Amendment, 481,865 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, were tendered for redemption.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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 period ended March 31, 2024, 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 officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2024 due to the Company’s inability to timely file the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, and the subsequent March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 Form 10-Qs, as well as the over withdrawal of the trust funds, incorrect transfer of funds to the Sponsor account, as noted below, and restatement of prior periods, which resulted in material weaknesses.

Between March 2, 2023 and December 5, 2023, the Company withdrew an aggregate amount of $2,497,248.57 from the Trust Account pursuant to seven separate written withdrawal requests to Continental Stock Transfer and Trust (“Continental”), the trustee for the Trust Account for the payment of taxes. While the Company paid an aggregate amount of $1,447,889.17 for tax payments, the remaining amount of $1,049,359.40, that was withdrawn from the Trust Account for tax purposes, was used to pay other business expenses of the Company. On March 15, 2024, the Sponsor deposited $1,049,359.40 into the Trust Account, and on March 26, 2024, the Sponsor deposited an additional amount $36,285.07 in to the Trust Account to reimburse the Trust Account for interest that would have earned on the $1,049,359.40 that was erroneously withdrawn from the Trust Account. This resulted in a material weakness. Subsequent to the period ended, the funds were returned by the Sponsor to the Company’s Trust Account.

Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2023, funds were transferred from the Trust account to the Company’s operating bank account and then to the Sponsor, which is not in accordance with the trust agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2023 we did not have controls in place to prevent or detect such transfer of funds. This resulted in a material weakness. Subsequent to the period ended, the funds were returned by the Sponsor to the Company’s operating bank account.

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.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024. In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessments and those criteria, management determined that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of March 31, 2024 due to the deficiencies noted above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management intends to remediate the identified material weakness by implementing a more timely reporting schedule and incorporating additional reviews of the financial statement support for future quarters.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 14, 2024. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. Except as set forth below, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 14, 2024, except we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
