EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-Q (this “Amendment”) amends the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of AlphaTime Acquisition Corp (“AlphaTime”, “we”, “us” or “our”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 15, 2023 (the “Original Form 10-Q”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to add to Part I, Item 4, “Controls and Procedures,” a statement reflecting the conclusion of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31 2023. This statement was inadvertently omitted from the Original Form 10-Q. The complete text of Part I, Item 4, as amended and restated, is included in this Amendment.

In connection with the foregoing, and pursuant to the rules of the SEC, we are including with this Amendment certain new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Accordingly, we are including the complete text of Part II, Item 6, as amended and restated, in this Amendment, which reflects the filing of Exhibit 31.3 and Exhibit 31.4.

Other than with respect to the foregoing, this Amendment does not modify or update in any way the disclosures made in the Original Form 10-Q. This Amendment does not otherwise update information in the Original Form 10-Q to reflect facts or events occurring subsequent to the filing date of the Original Form 10-Q. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-Q and with any of our filings made with the SEC subsequent to filing of the Original Form 10-Q.

PART II

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls & Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms because of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, during the first quarter of 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
