NOTE
17 - NET LOSS PER SHARE
As
the Business Combination has been accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, the consolidated financial statements of the merged entity
reflect the continuation of Legacy Stardust Power consolidated financial statements. Legacy Stardust Power equity has been retroactively
adjusted to the earliest period presented to reflect the legal capital of the legal acquirer, GPAC II. As a result, net loss per share
was also retrospectively adjusted for periods ended prior to the Business Combination. See Note 3 for details of this recapitalization.
The
following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted net loss per share:
