Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for our initial public offering. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of earnings on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. Our expenses have increased substantially after the closing of our initial public offering 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 year ended December 31, 2022, we had net income of $567,541. Net income is comprised primarily of earnings on marketable securities held in the trust account of $1,312,150 and unrealized earnings on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $379,763, offset by insurance expense amortization of $463,980, legal and accounting expenses of $397,266, listing fees of $175,357, formation and operating costs of $72,777, advertising and marketing expenses of $12,233 and administrative expenses of $2,759.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
Until the consummation of the initial public offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of founder shares by our sponsor, IWH Sponsor LP, for $25,000 and a $228,080 loan from our sponsor which has been repaid in full as of December 31, 2021.
On December 13, 2021, we consummated the initial public offering of 11,500,000 units, at $10.00 per unit, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 units, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 6,850,000 warrants to our sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, generating gross proceeds of $6,850,000.
A total of $117,300,000 of the proceeds from the initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental, acting as trustee.
Transaction costs of the initial public offering amounted to $6,822,078, consisting of $2,300,000 of underwriting discount, $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $497,078 of actual offering costs. Of these amounts, $302,696 was allocated to the public warrants and charged against additional paid-in capital and $6,519,382 were allocated to Class A Ordinary Shares reducing the initial carrying amount of such shares.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $37,262. Net income of $567,541 was adjusted by interest earned and unrealized earnings on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $379,763 and a $225,040 decrease in operating assets and liabilities.
