Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp. V (MCAG) reported a net loss of $2,251,116 for the year ended December 31, 2023, a significant decline from a net income of $4,471 in 2022. The total operating expenses increased to $2,654,975, primarily driven by administrative costs. The company held $5,613,395 in marketable securities within its Trust Account, down from $19,572,432 in the prior year, reflecting substantial redemptions and the impact of interest income. Strategically, MCAG has faced challenges, including the termination of a proposed business combination with AUM Biosciences, leading to an extension of its Business Combination Period to November 16, 2024. Compliance with Nasdaq's listing requirements remains a concern, with the company receiving notices regarding its market value of listed securities (MVLS). Risk factors include reliance on external financing and potential delisting if it fails to meet compliance within the designated timeframe. The company’s financial condition indicates a need for effective management of cash flow and strategic planning to secure a viable target for acquisition, especially given its status as an emerging growth company.
