Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on
September 29, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock
exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar
business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our
business combination using cash from the proceeds of the initial public offering
and the sale of the private placement warrants, our capital stock, debt or a
combination of cash, stock and debt.
All activity through June 30, 2021 relates to our formation, initial public
offering, and search for a prospective initial business combination target.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date.
Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2021 were organizational
activities and those necessary to prepare for the initial public offering,
described below and after our initial public offering, identify a target company
for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues
until after the completion of our 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 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, 2021, we had a net loss of $107,503, which
consisted primarily of a non-cash gain from the change in fair value of the
Warrants of $66,000 and $176,490 related to formation costs, costs related to
our initial public offering and franchise tax.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $247,604, which
consisted primarily of a non-cash gain from the change in fair value of the
Warrants of $60,500 and $312,425 related to formation costs, costs related to
our initial public offering and franchise tax.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of the initial public offering, our only source of
liquidity was an initial purchase of common stock by the Sponsor and loans from
our Sponsor.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was
$847,799. Net loss of $247,604 was affected by the non-cash gain on the change
in fair value of the Warrants of $60,500, interest earned on investment held in
the Trust Account of $4,321 and changes in operating assets and liabilities,
which used $535,374 of cash from operating activities.
As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and marketable securities of $200,004,321 held
in the Trust Account. 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 taxes paid and deferred underwriting commissions) to
complete our initial Business Combination.
On February 17, 2021, the Company sold 17,500,000 Units pursuant to its initial
public offering, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of
one share of common stock and one-half of one warrant to purchase one share of
common stock ("Public Warrant").
On February 25, 2021, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in
part and purchased an additional 2,500,000 Units, generating an aggregate of
gross proceeds of $25,000,000 and incurred $500,000 in cash underwriting fees.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital,
Inc. ("EarlyBirdCapital"), the underwriters of the IPO, purchased in a private
placement, an aggregate of 500,000 units (the "Private Units") at a price of
$10.00 per Private Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000. Each
Private Unit consists of one share of common stock and one-half of one warrant.
Among the Private Units, 470,000 were purchased by the Sponsor and 30,000 were
purchased by EarlyBirdCapital.
On February 25, 2021, simultaneously with the closing of the over-allotment the
Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 50,000 Private
Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, to the Sponsor and
EarlyBirdCapital., generating total gross proceeds of $500,000.
Following the initial public offering and the private placement, a total of
$200,000,000 was placed in the trust account. We incurred $4,611,216 in
transaction costs, including $4,000,000 of underwriting discount, the fair value
of the representative shares of $522 and $611,738 of other cash offering costs.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account,
including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account to
complete our business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. To the
extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as
consideration to complete our 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.
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 a business combination.

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 such loaned amounts,
but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to
$2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $0.90
per warrant, at the option of the lender.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the
expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of
the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence
and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary
to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior
to our business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional
financing either to complete our business combination or because we become
obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation
of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or
incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance
with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing
simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. If we are unable
to complete our business combination because we do not have sufficient funds
available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust
account. In addition, following our business combination, if cash on hand is
insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our
obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2021.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease
obligations or long-term liabilities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in
accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic
480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Common stock subject to mandatory
redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at
fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that
feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or
subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within
the Company's control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times,
common stock is classified as stockholders' equity. The Company's common stock
feature certain redemption rights that is considered to be outside of the
Company's control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events.
Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at
redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity
section of the Company's balance sheet.
Derivative warrant liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow,
market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial
instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such
instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of
derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as
liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
