Risk Factors (Cont.)
Our government grants are subject to uncertainty, which could harm our business and results of operations.
The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and divert management's attention, and the increases in legal, accounting and compliance expenses that will result from being a public company may be greater than we anticipate.
Our management has limited experience in operating a public company.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses could continue to adversely affect the combined company's ability to report its results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.
If we experience a significant disruption in our information technology systems, including security breaches, or if we fail to implement new systems and software successfully, our business operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
International sales by us and our industry partners expose us and our industry partners to the risk of fluctuation in currency exchange rates and rates of foreign inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Changes in interest rates and capital availability may impact investment and financing decisions by our industry partners, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Any failure by us to manage acquisitions and other significant transactions successfully may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
We believe our company culture has contributed to our success, and if we cannot maintain this culture as we grow and, in particular, become a public company, our business could be harmed.
Causes of supply chain challenges, including COVID-19, could result in delays or increased costs for us and our partners deploying our technologies.
We and our industry partners have a limited operating history utilizing our technology and different feedstocks, which may make it difficult to evaluate our future viability and predict our future performance.
We have not yet generated material revenues from marketing of CarbonSmart products and sale of equipment and our revenue forecast must be considered in light of the uncertainty and risks frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development.
Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.
Changes in U.S. and foreign tax laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, results of operations or financial conditions.
Political and economic uncertainty, including changes in policies of the Chinese government or in relations between China and the United States, may impact our revenue and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our operations in China are limited to our joint venture and the license of our process technology to our partners in China. Our ability or the ability of our partners to operate in China may be impaired by changes in Chinese laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation,
environmental regulation, restrictions on foreign investment, and other matters.
Changes in China's economic, political, or social conditions or legal system or government policies could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
We may be subject to risks that the Chinese government may intervene or influence our operations at any time.
Products produced by our process technologies compete with or are intended to displace comparable products produced using fossil resources. The market prices for these alternatively produced products and commodities are subject to volatility and there is a limited referenceable
market for the more sustainable, waste based products that our process technologies enable.
Process performance at LanzaTech's plants is dependent on the quality and quantity of the feedstock supplied from the host facility
The deployment of the technology for alternative waste gas feedstocks can lead to unforeseen issues due to the change in the upstream industrial process.
Our patent rights may not provide commercially meaningful protection against competition, and we may be unable to detect infringement of our patents.
Differences and uncertainties with respect to legal systems outside the United States could adversely affect the legal protection available to us.
