The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial
statements and the notes related thereto which are included in "Item 8.
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below
includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially
from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many
factors, including those set forth under "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements," "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on
December 10, 2019 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 Securities, 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 initial
Business Combination plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital
or to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.
Recent Developments
On December 10, 2020, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with
Innoviz, Merger Sub, Perception and Antara. Pursuant to the Business Combination
Agreement, and subject to shareholder approval, Merger Sub will merge with and
into our company, with our company surviving the merger. As a result of the
Merger, and upon consummation of the Transactions, we will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Innoviz, with our stockholders becoming securityholders of
Innoviz.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date.
Our only activities from December 10, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2020
were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial
Public Offering identifying a target for our Business Combination, and
activities in connection with the proposed acquisition of Innoviz. We do not
expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our
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 year ended December 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $1,034,535, which
consists of operating costs of $1,134,618 offset by interest income on
marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $94,642 and an unrealized
gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $5,441.
For the period from December 10, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, we
had net loss of $348, which consisted of operating costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On May 5, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 15,000,000 Units
at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated
the sale of 262,500 units ("Private Placement Units") at a price of $10.00 per
Private Placement Unit and the sale of 1,875,000 warrants ("Private Placement
Warrants" and together with the Private Placement Units, the "Private Placement
Securities") at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private
placement, generating gross proceeds of $4,500,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement
Securities, a total of $150,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account and we had
$840,854 of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs
related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital
purposes. We incurred $8,737,297 in transaction costs, including $3,000,000 of
underwriting fees, $5,250,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $487,297 of
other offering costs.
As of December 31, 2020, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account
of $150,100,083 (including approximately $100,000 of interest income) consisting
of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 180 days or less. Interest income on
the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through
December 31, 2020, we did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account
to pay our taxes.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, cash used in operating activities was
$753,025. Net loss of $1,034,535 was affected by interest earned on marketable
securities held in the Trust Account of $94,642, an unrealized gain on
marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $5,441 and a deferred
consulting fee payable of $72,000. Changes in operating assets and liabilities
provided $309,593 of cash for operating activities.
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
income taxes payable and deferred underwriting commissions) 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.
As of December 31, 2020, we had cash of $248,330. 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.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in
connection with a Business Combination, our officers, directors, Initial
Stockholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as
may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such
loaned amounts. 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 $750,000 of such loans may be convertible into units and
up to $750,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the
Private Placement Units and Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $10.00 per
unit and $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender, respectively. On March
1, 2021 and subsequent to year-end, the Sponsor provided a $100,000 convertible
non-interest bearing, unsecured working capital loan to the Company.
Liquidity and Going Concern
We will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments
from our Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. Our
officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds,
from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in
their sole discretion, to meet our working capital needs. Accordingly, we may
not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional
capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity,
which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations,
suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead
expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available
to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through
November 5, 2021, the date that we will be required to cease all operations,
except for the purpose of winding up, if a Business Combination is not
consummated. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2020.

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 an
affiliate of certain of the Company's officers and directors a monthly fee of
$10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support,
provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on April 30, 2020 and
will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of
a Business Combination and the Company's liquidation.
We have agreed to pay an affiliate of Tim Saunders, our Chief Financial Officer,
$10,000 per month for up to 6 months commencing on April 30, 2020 and accrue
$12,000 per month for up to six months from April 30, 2020 and payable until,
and only upon, the consummation of an initial Business Combination, for Mr.
Saunders' services as Chief Financial Officer.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of
the Initial Public Offering, or $5,250,000. The deferred fee will be paid in
cash upon the closing of a Business Combination from the amounts held in the
Trust Account, 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:
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible conversion in
accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic
480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Shares of Class A common stock
subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and
measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common
stock that features redemption rights that are 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 common stock
features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our
control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class
A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value
as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity section of our balance
sheets.
Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company's statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss)
per share for common shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar
to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income per common share,
basic and diluted, for Common stock subject to possible redemption is calculated
by dividing the proportionate share of income or loss on marketable securities
held by the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise and income taxes, by the
weighted average number of Common stock subject to possible redemption
outstanding since original issuance.
Net loss per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable common stock is
calculated by dividing the net loss, adjusted for income or loss on marketable
securities attributable to Common stock subject to possible redemption, by the
weighted average number of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the
period.
Non-redeemable common stock includes Founder Shares and non-redeemable shares of
common stock as these shares do not have any redemption features. Non-redeemable
common stock participates in the income or loss on marketable securities based
on non-redeemable common stock shares' proportionate interest.
Recent Accounting Standards
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 financial statements.
