Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 31, 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 initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Placement Units, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock 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 revenues to date. Our only activities from August 31, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for an initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. 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.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of $2,802,624, which included interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account of $532,675, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $2,606,167, change in fair value of convertible note of $45,300, offset by operating costs of $308,619 and provision for income tax of $72,899.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of $7,338,870, which included interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account of $603,257, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $7,269,834, change in fair value of convertible note of $121,700, offset by operating costs of $583,022 and provision for income tax of $72,899.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $1,855,821, which included operating costs of $347,695 and change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1,508,833, offset by interest earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account of $707.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net income of $4,387,658, which included interest earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account of $36,251 and change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $4,938,000, offset by operating costs of $586,593.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On December 14, 2020, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 40,250,000 units, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 5,250,000 units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $402,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 900,000 Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit in a private placement to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000.

Following our Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Placement Units, a total of $402,500,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $22,583,792 in transaction costs, including $7,000,000 of underwriting fees, net of reimbursement, $15,137,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $446,292 of other offering costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $658,476. Net income of $7,338,870 was affected by interest earned on cash and investments held in the Trust Account of $603,232, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $7,269,834, change in fair value of convertible note of $121,700 and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which used $2,580 of cash from operating activities. As of June 30, 2022, approximately $266,594 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is available to pay the Company's tax obligations. As of June 30, 2022, the Company withdrew an amount of $225,000 to pay franchise and income taxes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $411,700. Net income of $4,387,658 was offset by changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $4,938,000 and interest earned on investments and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $36,251. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $174,893 of cash from operating activities.

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $402,947,153. 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 initial business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. During the period ended June 30, 2022, we withdrew $225,000 to pay franchise and income taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial 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.

As of June 30, 2022, we had $140,476 of cash held 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, and structure, negotiate and complete an initial business combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an 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. If we complete an initial business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that an initial 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 $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Placement Units.

On January 24, 2022, we issued a promissory note in the principal amount of up to $300,000 to our Sponsor. This promissory note was issued in connection with advances our Sponsor has made, and may make in the future, to us for working capital expenses. If we complete a business combination, we would repay this promissory note out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. Otherwise, this promissory note would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. 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 this promissory note but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay this promissory note. At the election of our Sponsor, all or a portion of the unpaid principal amount of this promissory note may be converted into our units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the "Conversion Units"). The Conversion Units and their underlying securities are entitled to the registration rights set forth in this promissory note.

We do 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 an initial 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 initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial 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 initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Going Concern

Until the consummation of a business combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.



In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in
accordance with FASB
ASU 2014-15,
"Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going
Concern" through the liquidation date of December 14, 2022, management has
determined that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate
liquidity needs as well as complete a business combination by December 14, 2022,
then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of
liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and
subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying
amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate
after December 14, 2022.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any
off-balance
sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2022.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $15,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services. We began incurring these fees on December 9, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of our initial business combination and our liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of (i) $0.35 per unit of the gross proceeds of the initial 35,000,000 units sold in our Initial Public Offering, or $12,250,000, and (ii) $0.55 per unit of the gross proceeds from the units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option, or $2,887,500. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event we complete an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies.

Warrant Liabilities



We account for the warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public
Offering in accordance with the guidance contained in
ASC815-40
under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must
be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the warrants as liabilities
at their fair value and adjust the warrants to fair value at each reporting
period. This liability is subject to
re-measurement
at each balance sheets date until exercised, and any change in fair value is
recognized in our statements of operations.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders' equity. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' deficit section of our balance sheets.

Net Income per Share of Common Stock

Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Convertible Promissory Note



The Company accounts for their convertible promissory note under ASC 815,
Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). Under
815-15-25,
the election can be at the inception of a financial instrument to account for
the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825. The Company has made
such election for their convertible promissory note. Using the fair value
option, the convertible promissory note is required to be recorded at its
initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date
thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the notes are recognized as a
non-cash
gain or loss on the statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Standards

In June 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 also requires additional disclosures regarding significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity's portfolio. The Company expects to adopt the provisions of this guidance on January 1, 2023. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's condensed financial statements.

Factors That May Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial business combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial business combination.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.
