Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of shares of Class B common stock by the Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor. On May 18, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $6,600,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $230,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $13,107,291 in transaction costs, including $4,600,000 of underwriting fees, $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $457,291 of other costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, cash used in operating activities was $1,658,848 and $281,095 respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net income of $5,038,524 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $381,309, a gain in fair value of derivative liabilities of $6,679,490, and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which provided $363,427 of cash from operating activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $281,095. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net loss of $530,317 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,950, a gain in fair value of derivative liabilities of $355,840, costs associated with warrant liabilities of $591,948 and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which used $15,064 of cash from operating activities.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash and U.S. treasury securities held in the Trust Account of $230,422,246 and $ 230,040,937, respectively. 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 deferred underwriting commissions and income taxes payable), to complete our Initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes, if any. During the period three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Initial 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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash of $180,995 and $ 639,843 outside of the Trust Account, respectively. 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 an Initial Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the initial stockholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete an Initial Business Combination, we will repay such loaned amounts. In the event that an Initial 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 such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.
On April 12, 2022, we executed a promissory note in the amount of $1,600,000 with our sponsor in order to satisfy working capital requirements. See “Related Party Loans” in Note 5 to our condensed financial statements.
