Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 25, 2021, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. All activity for the period from February 25, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2022 related to our formation, 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 Business Combination, at the earliest. 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 searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net income of $918,866, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,128,435, offset by formation and operating costs of $209,569.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net income of $834,330, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,491,206, offset by formation and operating costs of $656,876.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $257,130, which consisted of formation and operating costs of $260,172, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $3,042.
For the period from February 25, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, we had net loss of $262,455, which consisted of formation and operating costs of $265,497, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $3,042.
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 pandemic could have a negative effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations and/or the search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
On July 2, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 Public Shares, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Public Shares, at $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000. Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 640,000 Private Placement Shares at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $6,400,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Shares, a total of $250,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $12,480,145 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $4,400,000 of underwriting fees, $7,700,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $380,145 of other costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $257,047. Net income of $834,330 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,491,206. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $399,829 of cash for operating activities.
For the period from February 25, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $1,143,300. Net loss of $262,455 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $3,042 and formation costs paid through issuance of Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor of $5,000.
