VAM Investments SPAC is a Special Purpose Acquisition Company ("SPAC") and was incorporated on 7 April 2021 for the purpose of effecting the Offering and the Admission and, subsequently, a merger, demerger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganisation or similar business combination with, or acquisition of, a business or company (a "Target") (a "Business Combination") operating in the consumer products and services sector (the "Target Sector") that is headquartered or operating in the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, although it may pursue a Business Combination opportunity in any geography, industry or sector.

Throughout H1 2021, the Company has not engaged in any activities other than the activities necessary to prepare for the Offering and the Admission. The Company was not an operating company and had no business activities as at 30 June 2021. As such there was minimal credit, liquidity and market risk exposure.

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Condensed Interim Financial Statements are set out below.
The condensed interim financial statements for the period 7 April 2021 up to and including 30 June 2021 (the "Condensed Interim Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance with, and comply with, International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as adopted by the EU ("IFRS-EU").

The Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The Condensed Interim Financial Statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 26 September 2022.
The preparation of the Condensed Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS may require the use of certain critical accounting estimates, judgements and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. It may also require management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. No areas were identified where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements.
The Condensed Interim Financial Statements are expressed in thousands of euros, rounded off to the closest thousand euros. Rounding gaps may result in minor differences regarding certain totals in the tables presented in the Condensed Interim Financial Statements.
These Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention, unless stated otherwise. The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The Condensed Interim Financial Statements are presented in Euro ("Euro") or ("€"), which is the Company's functional currency.
Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The majority of the Company's transactions are denominated in Euro. Shareholder subscriptions are received in Euro. The majority of expenses are denominated and paid in Euro. Accordingly, management has determined that the functional currency of the Company is Euro.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Euro at the exchange rate at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into Euro using the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date.
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from translation, if any, are included in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income.
Subscription receivable relates to an amount due from the shareholder for its equity contribution. As collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets.

Subscriptions receivables are recognized initially at their transaction price, the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components when they are recognized at fair value. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance (if any).
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
These amounts represent liabilities for services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial period, which are unpaid. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequent measurement at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost as described below are measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL").
Financial assets measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets measured at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses, are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it classifies as a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL that are measured at fair value and net gains or losses, including any interest, are recognized in profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

The amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured on initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount and, for financial assets, adjusted for any loss allowance.
The Company was not an operating company and had no business activities at date of the Condensed Interim Financial Statements. As such there was minimal credit, liquidity and market risk exposure.
The Company does not use foreign exchange contracts and/or foreign exchange options and does not deal with such financial derivatives. On the statement of financial position date, financial instruments are reviewed to see whether or not an objective indication exists for the impairment of a financial asset or a group of financial assets.
The Company's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain the Company's capital structure, the Company may issue new shares or sell assets to maintain an optimal capital structure.
Subscription receivable relates to a receivable from the shareholder for its equity contribution. As of 30 June 2021, the subscription receivable carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the asset.
As at 30 June 2022, the Company's issued share capital consisted of 1 ordinary share, with a nominal value of €1.00. An ordinary share entitles its owner to a voting right and dividends (if paid).
The share premium reserve relates to the contribution on issued shares in excess of the nominal value of the shares (above par value), if applicable.
As at 30 June 2021, there were no outstanding contingencies and commitments.
