those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and, subsequent to 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 expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the Initial Public Offering. We expect that we will incur increased 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 searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of $950,222, which consisted of change in fair value of derivative liability of $1,193,513 and interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $7,205 and unrealized gain on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $9,363, offset by formation and operational costs of $259,859.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of $3,574,952, which consisted of change in fair value of derivative liability of $4,057,430 and interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $28,110, offset by formation and operational costs of $509,632 and unrealized loss on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $956.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of ordinary shares by the Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor.
On October 27, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 350,000 Private Units to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit generating gross proceeds of $3,500,000.
On November 24, 2020, the Company sold an additional 479,626 Units for total gross proceeds of $4,796,260 in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. Simultaneously with the partial closing of the over-allotment option, we also consummated the sale of an additional 9,592 Private Units at $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $95,925.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Units, a total of $104,796,260 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $6,168,976 in transaction costs, including $2,095,925 of underwriting fees, $3,667,869 of deferred underwriting fees and $405,182 of other costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $345,045. Net income of $3,574,952 was impacted by interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $28,110 and change in fair value of derivative liability of $4,057,430, offset by unrealized loss on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $956. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $164,587 of cash from operating activities.
At September 30, 2021, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $104,832,690. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, which interest shall be net of taxes payable and excluding deferred underwriting commissions, to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a 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.
At September 30, 2021, we held $206,219 of cash outside of 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, structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a 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. If we complete a Business Combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. 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
