Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period from April 20, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021 have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering and, after 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 will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held after the Initial Public Offering and will recognize other income and expense related to the change in fair value of the derivative warrant liability and forward purchase agreement liability. 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.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of $1,608,198, which resulted from a gain on the change in fair value of the derivative warrant liability of $1,853,680 and interest income on investments held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) in the amount of $307,310, partially offset by operating costs of $319,948 and a loss on the change in fair value of the forward purchase agreement liability of $232,844.
For the period from April 20, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021, we had net loss of $10,606, which resulted solely from operating and formation costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On December 3, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units (the “Units”) generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale of 10,500,000 warrants to our Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants”), generating gross proceeds of $10,500,000. On December 3, 2021, the underwriter purchased an additional 3,000,000 Units pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $30,000,000. Also, in connection with the exercise of the over-allotment option, our Sponsor purchased an additional 1,200,000 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant, generating additional gross proceeds of $1,200,000.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $185,494, which was due to non-cash adjustments to net income related to the change in fair value of the derivative warrant liability of $1,853,680 and interest income on investments held in the Trust Account of $307,310, partially offset by net income of $1,608,198 and non-cash adjustment to net income related to the change in fair value of the forward purchase agreement liability of $232,844 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $134,454.
As of June 30, 2022, we had cash of $783,767 held outside the Trust Account. 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 finance transaction costs in connection with our initial business combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). As of June 30, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
Based on the foregoing, it is possible that the $783,767 in cash held outside the Trust Account on June 30, 2022 might not be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least 12 months from the date of this Quarterly Report, assuming that an initial business combination is not consummated during that time. Until consummation of our initial business combination, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial business combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the initial business combination.
