Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on December 29, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares 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 operating revenues to date. Our only activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial 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 expect that we will incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $426,367, which consisted of formation and operating costs, net of interest income and change in fair value of warrant liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On March 19, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 17,500,000 units (the "Units"), with respect to the shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $175,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Public Share, and one-half of one warrant which entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 4,875,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $4,875,000.

Following the closing of the IPO, $175,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement was placed in a trust account. The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $457,434 of cash in its operating bank account and working capital of approximately $1,675,480. The Company's liquidity needs up to March 31, 2021 had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the Sponsor of $25,000, to cover certain offering costs, for the Founder Share and issued warrants for $4,875,000 (see Note 5).

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective Initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Initial Business Combination.

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 condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company has identified the following as its critical accounting policies.

Shares of Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its shares of Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." The Company's shares of Class A 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, shares of Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity (deficit) section of the Company's balance sheet. Remaining shares of Class A Common Stock not subject to possible redemption are presented in equity.

Public and Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,875,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per whole Warrant ($4,875,000 in the aggregate) in the Private Placement. Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of the Company's Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.

Pursuant to the IPO, the Company sold 17,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit for a total of $175,000,000 (the "Units"). Each Unit consists of one Public Share, and one-half of one warrant ("Public Warrants"). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share.

The Private Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder's option, and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrant.

The Company evaluated the Public and Private Warrants under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity, and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders' equity (deficit). Specifically, the exercise of the Public and Private Warrants may be settled in cash upon the occurrence of a tender offer or exchange that involves 50% or more of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock. Because not all of the Company's shareholders need to participate in such tender offer or exchange to trigger the potential cash settlement and the Company does not control the occurrence of such an event, the Company concluded that the Public Warrants and Private Warrants do not meet the conditions to be classified in equity. Since the Public and Private Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, the Company recorded these warrants as liabilities on the balance sheet at its initial fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the statement of operations at each reporting date.

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.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing 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 an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial, and administrative support services provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on March 19, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination and the Company's liquidation.

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from March 19, 2021 to purchase up to 2,625,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. At March 31, 2021, the underwriters had not exercised any of the over-allotment units. Because the underwriters did not exercise their over-allotment option, 656,250 shares of Class B Common Stock were forfeited at no cost on May 3, 2021, so that total Class B Common Stock were reduced from 5,031,250 to 4,375,000 shares (Note 5). The forfeited shares returned to the authorized but unissued shares of the Class B Common Stock of the Company.

The underwriter is entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds of the IPO, or $6,125,000 (the "Deferred Discount"), and BMO Capital Markets Corp. will be entitled to a cash fee (the "Advisory Fee") equal to 0.5% of the gross offering proceeds of the IPO, or $875,000, for providing certain capital markets advisory services to the Company. Each of the Deferred Discount and the Advisory Fee will be payable upon the Company's completion of its Initial Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Initial Business Combination

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Class A common stock) pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on or the date of the prospectus for the Proposed Offering. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
