Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" regarding the completion of the Proposed Business Combination (as defined below), the Company's financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "seek" and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management's current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including that the conditions of the Proposed Business Combination are not satisfied. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company's securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Risks and Uncertainties

We continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and have concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company's financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 27, 2020 for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the "Business Combination"). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares, 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 27, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and 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. 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 March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $413,229 which consists of general and administrative expenses of $369,315 and stock compensation expense of $45,000, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,086.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $458,783, which consists of general and administrative expenses of $421,672 and stock compensation expense of $45,000, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $7,345 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $544.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On November 23, 2020, we completed the Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 Public Shares, at $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the sale of 500,000 Private Placement Shares at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $5,000,000.

On December 10, 2020, we consummated the sale of an additional 352,040 Shares, at $10.00 per Share, and the sale of an additional 7,041 Private Placement Shares, at $10.00 per Private Placement Share, generating total gross proceeds of $3,590,810. Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares, a total of $103,520,402 of the net proceeds was deposited into the Trust Account.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $467,954. Net loss of $413,229 was affected by stock compensation expense of $45,000, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,086, and changes in operating assets and liabilities used $98,639 of cash for operating activities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $240,331. Net loss of $458,783 was affected by stock compensation expense of $45,000, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $7,345, an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $544, and changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $181,341 of cash for operating activities.

As of March 31, 2022, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $103,544,060 (including approximately $1,086 of interest income and unrealized losses, net) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through March 31, 2022, we have not withdrawn any interest earned from 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 to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest 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 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 March 31, 2022, we had cash of $160,052 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 a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors 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 $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into shares at a price of $10.00 per share, at the option of the lender. The shares would be identical to the Private Placement Shares.

Going Concern

In connection with the our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification Topic 205-40, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern," we have until November 23, 2022, to consummate an initial business combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate an initial business combination by this time. If an initial business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Additionally, we may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the issuance of these financial statements. We have determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should an initial business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises 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 November 23, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2022. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

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 the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, secretarial and administrative support. We began incurring these fees on November 18, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Share, or $3,623,214 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

We intend to enter into forward purchase agreements pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,500,000 shares (the "forward purchase shares"), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or an aggregate of $25,000,000, in a private placement to close concurrently with the closing of a Business Combination. The obligations under the forward purchase agreements will not depend on whether any Public Shares are redeemed by the public stockholders. The Sponsor's obligation to purchase forward purchase shares will, among other things, be conditioned on the Business Combination (including the target assets or business, and the terms of the Business Combination) being reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor and on a requirement that such initial Business Combination is approved by a unanimous vote of the Company's Board of Directors. The forward purchase shares will be identical to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Public Shares being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that they will be subject to certain registration rights.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of condensed 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:

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." 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, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' deficit section of our condensed balance sheets.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

We calculate earnings per share to allocate net income (loss) evenly to Class A and Class B common stock. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of common stock share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company.

Recent Accounting Standards

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