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, 2021 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, 2021, we had a net loss of $458,783, which
consists of operating costs of $421,672 and stock compensation expense of
$45,000, offset by an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust
Account of $544 and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust
Account of $7,345.
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, 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, 2021, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of
$103,530,418 (including approximately $7,000 of interest income and unrealized
gains) 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, 2021, we have not withdrawn any interest earned from
the Trust Account.

Table of Contents
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), to complete our Business Combination. 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, 2021, we had cash of $1,613,852 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.
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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered
off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2021. 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 Samsara
BioCapital 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' equity section of our condensed balance sheets.

Net Loss Per Common Share
We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income
(loss) per common share, basic and diluted for Class A common stock subject to
possible redemption is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the
Trust Account, net of applicable taxes, if any, by the weighted average number
of shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding for
the period. Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted for and
non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing net loss less income
attributable to Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, by the
weighted average number of shares of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for
the period presented.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective,
accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our
condensed financial statements.
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and
Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in
Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) ("ASU 2020-06") to simplify accounting for
certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that
require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from
convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance
pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity's own equity. The
new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and
freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity's own
equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including
the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments.
ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or
modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January
1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06
would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
