EXPLANATORY NOTE
On October 28, 2021, subsequent to the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, the fiscal quarter to which this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
(this “Quarterly Report”) relates, Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp. II. (“MCAD” and now known as Better Therapeutics, Inc.), a Delaware corporation that is our predecessor, consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 6, 2021 (as amended, modified, supplemented or waived, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among MCAD, Better Therapeutics, Inc. (“BTX” and now known as Better Therapeutics OpCo, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, and MCAD Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of MCAD. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, following the approval by the Company’s stockholders on October 27, 2021, Merger Sub was merged with and into BTX, with BTX being the surviving company in the merger.
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Business Combination, each BTX share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, approximately 0.9475 (the “Exchange Ratio”) shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”). At the Effective Time, all options of BTX that were outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time were assumed by MCAD and automatically converted based upon the Exchange Ratio into options to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Assumed Options”), and all awards of BTX restricted stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were assumed by MCAD and automatically converted into an award of restricted Common Stock.
At the Closing and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, MCAD (1) issued an aggregate of 15,174,729 shares of Common Stock to existing stockholders of BTX (including shares of restricted stock), and (ii) assumed BTX options exercisable for an aggregate of 853,015 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $8.67.
Unless stated otherwise, this Quarterly Report contains information about the Company before the Business Combination. References to the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we” in this Quarterly Report refer to Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp., II and its consolidated subsidiaries before the consummation of the Business Combination and to Better Therapeutics, Inc., after the Business Combination, as the context suggests.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the information in this Quarterly Report does not reflect the consummation of the Business Combination, which, as discussed above, occurred subsequent to the period covered hereunder.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on July 31, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business transaction with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). On April 6, 2021,
the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with MCAD Merger Sub, and Better Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, (“Better Therapeutics”) relating to a proposed Business Combination transaction between the Company and Better Therapeutics (the “Transaction”).
The Company has one subsidiary, MCAD Merger Sub Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Delaware on April 6, 2021 (“MCAD Merger Sub”.) (see Note 10)
Business Combination
As previously announced, On October 28, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), as contemplated in the Merger Agreement and described in the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal” of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 12, 2021, MCAD Merger Sub merged with and into Better Therapeutics with Better Therapeutics surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with the new name Better Therapeutics OpCo, Inc. (the “Business Combination”). In addition, in connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company changed its name to “Better Therapeutics, Inc.” (See Note 10)
Business Prior to the Business Combination
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period July 31, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, identifying a target company for a Business Combination and activities in connection with the proposed acquisition of Better Therapeutics (see Note 10). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate
non-operating
income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, though it is the Company’s intention to pursue prospective targets in North America. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 7, 2021. On January 12, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 5,000,000 units (the “Units”) and, with respect to the shares of common stock included in the Units sold, (the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000, which is described in Note 4.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 185,000 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement to Mountain Crest Capital LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”), generating gross proceeds of $1,850,000, which is described in Note 5.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 12, 2021, an amount of $50,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), of which $500,000 was deposited on January 13, 2021, and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule
2a-7
of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account as described below.
On January 14, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in an additional 750,000 Units issued for an aggregate amount of $7,500,000. In connection with the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company also consummated the sale of an additional 15,000 Private Units at $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $7,650,000. A total of $7,500,000 was deposited into the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $57,500,000.
Transaction costs amounted to $5,131,593 consisting of $1,150,000 of underwriting fees, $2,012,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $1,969,093 of other offering costs. As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, a total of 187,500 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
(Unaudited)
 
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and net of amounts previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
There was no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. 
The Company provided its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders were entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially
$10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The
per-share
amount to be distributed to stockholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commission the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 7).
The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor has agreed to (a) vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 6), Private Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares held by it in favor of a Business Combination and (b) not to redeem any shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a Business Combination or sell any such shares to the Company in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Sponsor has agreed to (i) waive its redemption rights with respect to Founder Shares, Private Shares and any Public Shares it may acquire during or after the Initial Public Offering in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination and (ii) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders an opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment. However, the Sponsor will be entitled to liquidating distributions with respect to any Public Shares acquired if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination or liquidates within the Combination Period (defined below).

The Company
had
 until October 12, 2021 (or until April 12, 2022 if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination by October 12, 2021 but has not completed the Business Combination within such
9-month
period) to consummate a Business Combination. However, if the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate a Business Combination by October 12, 2021, and the Company has not entered into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination by such date, the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to two times, each by an additional three months (for a total of 15 months to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliate or designees must deposit into the Trust Account $500,000, or $575,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full ($0.10 per Public Share in either case, or an aggregate of $1,000,000 (or $1,150,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full)), on or prior to the date of the applicable d
e
adline, for each three month extension.
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company 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 and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, 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), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Private Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of its respective affiliates acquire Public Shares after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 7) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Going Concern Consideration
At September 30, 2021, we have $248,460 in its operating bank accounts, $57,506,681 in securities held in the Trust Account, to be for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its common stock in connection therewith and working capital of $47,142.
Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating, and consummating the Business Combination.

If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. On October 28, 2021, the Company completed the Business Combination and received $50,000,000 in proceeds from the PIPE investors, $9,237,400 from the Trust Account after redemptions, and borrowed $10,000,000 under the secured term loan agreement with Hercules Capital, Inc. We believe there is sufficient capital to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 — RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2021, management determined it should restate its previously reported financial statements. The Company determined, at the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering it had improperly valued and classified its Common stock subject to possible redemption. The Company previously determined the Common stock subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value, while also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than
 
$5,000,001. Management determined that the common stock issued during the Initial Public Offering can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered outside the Company’s control. Therefore, management concluded that the redemption value should include all Common stock subject to possible redemption, resulting in the Common stock subject to possible redemption being equal to its redemption value. As a result, management has noted a reclassification adjustment related to temporary equity and permanent equity. This resulted in a restatement to the initial carrying value of the Common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional
paid-in
capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Common stock.
In connection with the change in presentation for the Common stock subject to redemption, the Company also restated its net income (loss) per common share calculation to allocate net income (loss) evenly all Common stock. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, all common shares share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company.
There has been no change in the Company’s total assets, liabilities or operating results.
The impact of the restatement on the Company’s financial statements is reflected in the following table.

NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
 
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form
10-Q
and Article 8 of Regulation
S-X
of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the period ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and Stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to
non-emerging
growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Comp
a
ny, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
At September 30, 2021 substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. At December 31, 2020 the Company had no assets held in the Trust Account.
Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs consisted of legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $5,131,593
were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (see Note 1). As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, there were
 $0 and $61,894 of deferred offering costs recorded in the accompanying balance sheets.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.
At September 30, 2021, the Common stock reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The Company’s effective tax rates for the periods presented differ from the expected (statutory) rates due to
start-up
costs not being currently deductible, the recording of full valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and permanent differences.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating net income (loss) per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from net income (loss) per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The Company has not considered the effect of the rights sold in the Initial Public Offering and the private placement that convert into 795,000 common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the conversion of the rights into common stock are contingent upon the occurrence of future events.. The rights are exercisable to purchase
 
795,000
 shares of common stock in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the net income (loss) of the Company. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per common stock is the same as basic net income (loss) per common stock for the periods presented.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financ
i
al institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the Company’s balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
 
   
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
 
   
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
 
   
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2020-06,
“Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic
470-20)
and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
815-40):
Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU
2020-06”),
which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU
2020-06
removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU
2020-06
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU
2020-06
effective as of January 15, 2021. The adoption of ASU
2020-06
did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 4 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 5,750,000 Units, inclusive of 750,000 Units sold to the underwriters on January 14, 2021 upon the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and one right (“Public Right”). Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive
one-tenth
of one share of common stock at the closing of a Business Combination.

NOTE 5 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and Chardan (and/or their designees) purchased an aggregate of 185,000 Private Units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,850,000, in a private placement. The Sponsor purchased 135,000 Private Units and Chardan purchased 50,000 Private Units. On January 14, 2021, in connection with the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, the Company sold an additional 15,000 Private Units to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $150,000. Each Private Unit consists of one share of common stock (“Private Share”) and one right (“Private Right”). Each Private Right entitles the holder to receive
one-tenth
of one share of common stock at the closing of a Business Combination.
The proceeds from the Private Units were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Units and all underlying securities will expire worthless.
NOTE 6 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On October 16, 2020, the Company issued 1,437,500 shares of common stock (the “Founder Shares”) to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. The 1,437,500 Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 187,500 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor. As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option on January 14, 2021, no Founder Shares are currently subject to forfeiture.
The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until, with respect to 50% of the Founder Shares, the earlier of nine months after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a
30-trading
day period following the consummation of a Business Combination and, with respect to the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares, nine months after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination, or earlier in each case if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on January 12, 2021 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. However, pursuant to the terms of such agreement, the Company may delay payment of such monthly fee upon a determination by the Company’s Audit Committee that the Company lacks sufficient funds held outside the Trust Account to pay actual or anticipated expenses in connection with a Business Combination. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred and paid $30,000 and $90,000, respectively, in fees for these services. For the period from July 31, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, the Company did not incur any fees for these services.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On August 1, 2020, the Company issued the Promissory Note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate amount of $500,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. The Promissory Note is
non-interest
bearing and payable on the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was $0 and $61,894 in borrowings outstanding under the Promissory Note.

Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time, as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Each Working Capital Loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The Working Capital Loans would either be paid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the holder’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be converted into private units at a price of $10.00 
per unit. The private units would be identical to the Private Units. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. For the period ended September 30, 2021, the company had no outstanding related party loans. 
Related Party Extension Loans
As discussed in Note 1, the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to two times, each by an additional three months (for a total of 15 months to complete a Business Combination). In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees must deposit into the Trust Account $500,000, or $575,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full ($0.10 per Public Share in either case, or an aggregate of $1,000,000 (or $1,150,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full)), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each three month extension. Any such payments would be made in the form of a
non-interest
bearing, unsecured promissory note. Such notes would either be paid upon consummation of a Business Combination, or, at the relevant insider’s discretion, converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into additional Private Units at a price of $10.00
per Private Unit. The Sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for the Company to complete a Business Combination. For the period ended September 30, 2021, the company had no outstanding related party loans. 
NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on January 7, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, the Private Units, and any shares that may be issued in payment of Working Capital Loans (and all underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founders Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares of common stock are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Units (and underlying securities) and securities issued in payment of Working Capital Loans can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing on the date that the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Chardan may not exercise its demand and “piggyback” registration rights after five (5) and seven (7) years, respectively, after the effective date of the Initial Public Offering and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.30 per Unit, or $1,725,000. 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.

In addition, the Company has agreed to issue Chardan and/or its designees at the close of a Business Combination, a deferred discount equal to 0.5% of the amount sold in the Initial Public Offering in the form of the Company’s shares of common stock, at a price of $10.00 per share (28,750 shares). The Company recorded the value of the shares to be issued in the amount of $287,500 as an expense of the Initial Public Offering, resulting in a charge to stockholders’ equity, with a corresponding credit to deferred underwriting fee payable.
NOTE 8 —
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE REDEMPTION 
Common Stock
— The Company is authorized to issue 30,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At September 30, 2021, there were 7,557,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, including 5,750,000
shares of common stock subject to possible redemption which are presented as temporary equity and 1,807,500 in common stock presented as permanent equity.
 
At December 31, 2020, there were 1,437,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, no shares subject to possible redemption or presented in temporary equity.
Rights
— Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a Public Right will automatically receive
one-tenth
(1/10) of one share of common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of a Public Right converted all shares held by him, her or it in connection with a Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with respect to its
pre-business
combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of a Business Combination, each holder of a Public Right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the
one-tenth
(1/10) of a share underlying each Public Right upon consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of Public Rights in order to receive his, her or its additional shares of common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination. The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company). If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of Public Rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the common stock will receive in the transaction on an
as-converted
into common stock basis.
The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of Public Rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. As a result, the holders of the Public Rights must hold rights in multiples of 8 in order to receive shares for all of the holders’ rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Rights, and the Public Rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the Public Rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, the rights may expire worthless.
Representative Shares
In January 2021, the Company intended to issue to Chardan and/or its designees 170,000 shares of common stock (the “Representative Shares”). The Company accounted for the Representative Shares as an expense of the Initial Public Offering, resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The Company estimated the fair value of Representative Shares to be $1,700,000 based upon the offering price of the Units of $10.00 per Unit. The holders of the Representative Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Representative Shares have been deemed compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and are therefore subject to a
lock-up
for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA’s NASD Conduct Rules. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statements related to the Initial Public Offering, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statements related to the Initial Public Offering except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the Initial Public Offering and their bona fide officers or partners.
NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are
re-measured
and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and
non-financial
assets and liabilities that are
re-measured
and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
 
  Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
 
  Level 2:
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
 
  Level 3:
Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

NOTE 10 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On April 6, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as it may be amended or restated from time to time the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Merger Sub and Better Therapeutics. Under the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Better Therapeutics’ common stock in exchange for 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment.
The Merger Agreement has been amended as of August 30, 2021 and September 27, 2021. Upon closing of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Better Therapeutics (the “Merger”) with Better Therapeutics surviving the Merger, renamed Better Therapeutics OpCo, Inc., as a wholly owned subsidiary of MCAD. In addition, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, MCAD will be renamed “Better Therapeutics, Inc.” The combined company after the Business Combination is referred to as the “Combined Company.”

On the date the Transaction is effective (the “Effective Time”), among other items: each share of Better Therapeutics common stock (other than its restricted stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and automatically converted into such Better Therapeutics Shareholder’s right to receive, without interest, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Better Therapeutics common stock (other than Better Therapeutics restricted stock) held by such Better Therapeutics Shareholder and (ii) the “Exchange Ratio” determined by dividing (A) the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) by (B) the issued and outstanding number of shares of Better Therapeutics common stock as of the closing.
In connection with the proposed Transaction, the Company has obtained commitments from interested accredited investors (each a “Subscriber”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock which will be issued in connection with the closing (the “PIPE Shares”), for an aggregate cash amount of $50,000,000 at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, in a private placement (the “PIPE”). Certain offering related expenses are payable by the Company, including customary fees payable to the placement agents. Such commitments are being made by way of the Subscription Agreements (the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”), by and among each Subscriber and the Company. The closing of the sale of PIPE Shares (the “PIPE Closing”) will be contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The PIPE Closing will occur on the date of, and immediately prior to, the consummation of the Transaction.
On August 18, 2021, Better Therapeutics entered into a $50.0 million secured term loan agreement with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”). The term loan has a maturity date of August 1, 2025, which can be extended to February 1, 2026, and is secured by substantially all of Better Therapeutics’ assets. Payments due for the term loan are interest-only until March 1, 2023 (subject to extension to September 1, 2023 or September 1, 2024 upon the achievement of certain milestones), after which principal shall be repaid in equal monthly installments. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. The outstanding principal bears interest at the greater of (a) 8.95% or (b) 8.95% plus the prime rate minus 3.25%. Prepayment of the outstanding principal is permitted under the secured term loan agreement and subject to certain prepayment fees. In connection with the secured term loan agreement, Better Therapeutics paid an initial facility charge of $212,500. In addition, Better Therapeutics will be required to pay an end of term charge of the greater of (a) $892,500 and (b) 5.95% of the aggregate outstanding principal upon repayment of the loan. The secured term loan agreement contains customary representations, warranties,
non-financial
covenants, and events of default. Better Therapeutics is permitted to borrow the loans in four tranches based on the completion of certain milestones which include, as set forth more fully in the secured term loan agreement: (i) $15.0 million upon the closing of the Business Combination, (ii) $10.0 million when Better Therapeutics achieves certain positive clinical trial results sufficient to submit a
de-novo
classification request with respect to
BT-001,
(iii) $10.0 million when Better Therapeutics has received FDA approval for such marketing of
BT-001
for the improvement of glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes and received, prior to March 15, 2023, net cash proceeds of at least $40.0 million dollars from equity financings, and (iv) $15.0 million on or before June 15, 2023, subject to Hercules’, approval.
Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Company entered into a joinder agreement to the Hercules term loan and borrowed $10.0 million.
PIPE and Cowen Investments
Upon the closing of the Business Combination, Cowen and Company LLC (“Cowen”), placement agent for the PIPE Investment, also entered into a subscription agreement (the “Cowen Subscription Agreement” and together with the PIPE Subscription Agreements, the “Subscription Agreements”) for 70,000 shares of Common Stock at $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of $700,000 in lieu of such amount of its placement fee (the “Cowen Investment”). The Cowen Investment was also consummated concurrently with the Closing.
Chardan Equity Issuance
Upon the closing of the Business Combination, MCAD issued to Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, 28,750 shares of Common Stock, representing a deferred discount equal to 0.5% of the amount sold in MCAD’s initial public offering in the form of stock at a price of $10.00 per share (the “Chardan Issuance”).
MCAD Redemptions and Conversion of Rights
In connection with the MCAD stockholder vote on the Business Combination, MCAD stockholders redeemed an aggregate of 4,826,260 shares of Common Stock. At the Closing of the Business Combination, all outstanding rights automatically converted into
one-tenth
(1/10) of a share of Common Stock. The separate trading of Units and Rights of MCAD was terminated upon the closing of the Business Combination.
Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination, the PIPE Investment, the Cowen Investment, the Chardan Issuance and the conversion of rights, there were 23,599,718 shares of Common Stock outstanding, and 853,015 shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding stock options of BTX at a weighted average exercise price of $8.67 per share.
Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement
At the Closing, the Company entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement”) with certain existing stockholders of MCAD with respect to the shares of Common Stock they own at the Closing, and the BTX stockholders of MCAD with respect to the Merger Consideration. The MCAD Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement will require the Company to, among other things, file a resale shelf registration statement on behalf of the stockholders no later than 30 days from the Closing. The MCAD Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement also provides certain demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights to the stockholders, subject to underwriter cutbacks and issuer blackout periods. The Company agrees to pay certain fees and expenses relating to registrations under the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
References in this report (the “Quarterly Report”) to “we,” “us” or the “Company” refer to Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp. II. References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officers and directors, and references to the “Sponsor” refer to Mountain Crest Capital LLC. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form
10-Q
including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the completion of the Proposed Business Combination (as defined below), the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including that the conditions of the Proposed Business Combination are not satisfied. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been amended and restated to give effect to the restatement of our financial statements as of the IPO date of January 12, 2021, March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Management identified errors made in its historical financial statements where, at the closing of our Initial Public Offering, we improperly valued and classified our common stock subject to possible redemption. We previously determined the common stock subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per share of ordinary share while also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Management determined that the common stock issued during the Initial Public Offering can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered outside of the Company’s control. Therefore, management concluded that the redemption value should include all common stock subject to possible redemption, resulting in the common stock subject to possible redemption being equal to their redemption value. As a result, management has noted a reclassification error related to temporary equity and permanent equity. This resulted in a restatement to the initial carrying value of the common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and common stock.
Overview
Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on July 31, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business transaction with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). On April 6, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with MCAD Merger Sub, and Better Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, (“Better Therapeutics”) relating to a proposed Business Combination transaction between the Company and Better Therapeutics (the “Transaction”).
As previously announced, On October 28, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), as contemplated in the Merger Agreement and described in the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal” of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 12, 2021, MCAD Merger Sub merged with and into Better Therapeutics with Better Therapeutics surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with the new name Better Therapeutics OpCo, Inc. (the “Business Combination”). In addition, in connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company changed its name to “Better Therapeutics, Inc.”
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period July 31, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, identifying a target company for a Business Combination and activities in connection with the proposed acquisition of Better Therapeutics (see Note 10). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception to September 30, 2021 were organizational activities necessary for preparing the Initial Public Offering, as described below, and following the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We generate
non-operating
income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing a Business Combination.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $238,944, which consists of formation and operating costs of $240,394 offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,450.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $550,398, which consists of formation and operating costs of $557,079, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $6,681.
For the period from July 31, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $1,000, which consists of formation and operating costs.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 7, 2021. On January 12, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 5,000,000 units (the “Units”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 185,000 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement with Mountain Crest Capital LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”), generating gross proceeds of $1,850,000.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 12, 2021, an amount of $50,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), of which $500,000 was deposited on January 13, 2021, and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of
Rule 2a-7
of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account as described below.
On January 14, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in an additional 750,000 Units issued for an aggregate amount of $7,500,000. In connection with the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company also consummated the sale of an additional 15,000 Private Units at $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $7,650,000. A total of $7,500,000 was deposited into the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $57,500,000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $357,211. Net loss of $550,398 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $6,681 and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which provided $199,868 of cash for operating activities.
For the period from July 31, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $1,000, which consists of the net loss.
As of September 30, 2021, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $57,506,681 consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 180 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through September 30, 2021, we have not withdrawn any interest earned from the Trust Account.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of September 30, 2021, we had cash of $248,460. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be converted into private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The private units would be identical to the Private Units.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking
in-depth
due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating, and consummating the Business Combination.
On October 28, 2021, the Company completed the Business Combination and received $50,000,000 in proceeds from the PIPE investors, $9,237,400 from the Trust Account after redemptions, and borrowed $10,000,000 under the secured term loan agreement with Hercules Capital, Inc. We believe there is sufficient capital to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of these financial statements.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered
off-balance
sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating
off-balance
sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any
off-balance
sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any
non-financial
assets.
Contractual obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. However, pursuant to the terms of such agreement, the Company may delay payment of such monthly fee upon a determination by the Company’s Audit Committee that the Company lacks sufficient funds held outside the Trust Account to pay actual or anticipated expenses in connection with a Business Combination. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred and paid $30,000 and $90,000, respectively, in fees for these services.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.30 per Unit, or $1,725,000. 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.
In addition, the Company has agreed to issue Chardan and/or its designees at the close of a Business Combination, a deferred discount equal to 0.5% of the amount sold in the Initial Public Offering in the form of the Company’s shares of common stock, at a price of $10.00 per share for a total of 28,750 shares.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Table of Contents
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating net income (loss) per share. The remeasurement associated with the redeemable stock is excluded from income (loss) per stock as the redemption amount approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2020-06,
Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic
470-20)
and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
815-40)
(“ASU
2020-06”)
to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU
2020-06
eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU
2020-06
amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the
if-converted
method for all convertible instruments. ASU
2020-06
is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. We adopted ASU
2020-06
effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU
2020-06
did not have an impact on our financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Business Combination
On April 6, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as it may be amended or restated from time to time the “Merger Agreement”), by and among MCAD Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Better Therapeutics, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“BTX”). Completion of the transaction is subject to approval of the Company’s stockholders and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other customary closing conditions.
The Merger Agreement has been amended as of August 30, 2021 and September 27, 2021. Upon closing of the transaction update by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Better Therapeutics (the “Merger”) with Better Therapeutics surviving the Merger, renamed Better Therapeutics OpCo, Inc., as a wholly owned subsidiary of MCAD. In addition, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, MCAD was renamed “Better Therapeutics, Inc.” The combined company after the Business Combination is referred to as the “Combined Company.”
In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into subscription agreements dated as of April 6, 2021, with certain institutional and accredited investors, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement, concurrent with the consummation of the Business Combination, an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock for $10.00 per share for an aggregate cash amount of $50,000,000.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), 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.
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. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded and identified a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting related to the inaccurate accounting for the value and classification of shares to be issued to the underwriting at the closing of our Initial Public Offering as well as inaccurate accounting for certain accrued expenses and prepaid expenses, before the Company’s independent registered public accountants completed their review and provided authorization in previous filings. We also identified a material weakness due to the events that led to the Company’s restatement of its financial statements to reclassify all redeemable equity instruments to temporary equity from permanent equity, during the period covered by this report, a material weakness existed, and our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
To address these material weaknesses, management has devoted, and plans to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of its internal control over financial reporting and to provide processes and controls over the internal communications within the Company, financial advisors and independent registered public accounting firm. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance these processes to better evaluate our research and understanding of the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. We plan to include enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. 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 fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act and believe that, except as described above, our disclosure controls and procedures were otherwise effective at a reasonable assurance level and, accordingly, provided reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter of 2021 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are in the process of implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting to remediate certain material weaknesses that occurred in connection with our Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
for the period ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021, as more fully described above. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our final prospectus for our Initial Public Offering filed with the SEC on January 11, 2021, our registration statement on Form
S-4
filed with the SEC on April 23, 2021, as subsequently amended on July 13, 2021 and August 12, 2021 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q/A
for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on June 28, 2021 and June 30, 2021, filed with SEC on August 20, 2021. 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. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus for our Initial Public Offering filed with the SEC on January 11, 2021, our registration statement on Form
S-4
filed with the SEC on April 23, 2021, as subsequently amended, other than as described below.
We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes. Our management also evaluates the effectiveness of our internal controls and we will disclose any changes and material weaknesses identified through such evaluation in those internal controls. As described elsewhere in this Report, since the IPO date and through September 30, 2021, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to the inaccurate accounting for the value of shares to be issued to the underwriter at the closing of our Initial Public Offering as well as inaccurate accounting for certain accrued expenses and prepaid expenses and the Company’s restatement of its financial statements to reclassify all redeemable equity instruments to temporary equity from permanent equity, during the period covered by this report, a material weakness existed and our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. We have implemented a remediation plan, described under Part I, Item 4, Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures, to remediate the material weakness but can give no assurance that the measures we have taken will prevent any future material weaknesses or deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting. Even though we believe we have strengthened our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On January 12, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 5,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value (“Common Stock”), and one right (“Right”) to receive
one-tenth
(1/10) of a share of common stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters a
45-day
option to purchase up to 750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Option Units”). Chardan Capital Markets, LLC acted as the sole book running managers of the offering. The securities sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form
S-1
(No.
333-251557).
The SEC declared the registration statement effective on January 7, 2021. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with Mountain Crest Capital LLC and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC of 185,000 units (the “Private Units”), generating total proceeds of $1,850,000.
On January 14, 2021, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option and the Company issued the Over-Allotment Option Units to the underwriters. The total aggregate issuance by the Company of the Over-Allotment Option Units at a price of $10.00 per unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $7,500,000. On January 14, 2021, simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 15,000 Private Units, generating gross proceeds of $150,000. The Private Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering. The Private Units are identical to the Public Units sold in the Initial Public Offering.
A total of $57,500,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO (including the Over-Allotment Option Units), were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders.
We paid a total of $1,150,000 underwriting discounts and commissions and $1,969,093 for other offering costs and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $2,012,500 in underwriting discounts and commissions.
