Overview


We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on July 28, 2020 for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination. 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.

The registration statement for our initial public offering was declared effective on January 14, 2021. On January 20, 2021, we consummated our initial public offering of 14,950,000 units (including 1,950,000 units issued to the underwriters pursuant to the exercise in full of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters) at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $149.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $8.8 million, inclusive of $5.2 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the private placement of 7,057,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant to the sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $7.1 million.

Upon the closing of the initial public offering and sale of the private placement warrants on January 20, 2021, $151.7 million ($10.15 per unit) of the net proceeds of the sales of the units in the initial public offering and the private placement warrants were placed in the trust account. The trust account is located in the United States with Continental acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. "government securities," within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act., having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of an initial business combination and (ii) the distribution of the trust account as described below.





                                       20




If we have not completed an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the initial public offering, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.





Results of Operations


For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net income of approximately $4.2 million which included a gain from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $4.7 million and interest earned on trust account of $0.02 million, offset by loss from operations of approximately $0.4 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a net income of approximately $3.0 million, which included a loss from operations of $0.3 million, offering cost expense allocated to warrants of $0.4 million, and fully offset by a gain from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $3.7 million. Our business activities from inception to March 31, 2021 consisted primarily of our formation and completing our IPO, and since the offering, our activity has been limited to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition targets for an initial business combination.

Our business activities from inception to March 31, 2022 consisted primarily of our formation and completing our initial public offering, and since the offering, our activity has been limited to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition targets for an initial business combination.





Liquidity and Going Concern


As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $723 and $194,034 in our operating bank account, respectively, and working capital deficit of $1,682,104 and $1,251,072, respectively.

The Company's liquidity needs up to our Initial Public Offering had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the sponsor of $25,000 for the founder shares and the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the sponsor for $145,000. The outstanding balance on the promissory note from the sponsor was paid in full from the initial public offering proceeds on February 26, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the initial public offering, our liquidity needs had been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the sale of the private placement warrants not held in the trust account and advances from our Sponsor. In addition, in order to 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, provide us working capital loans.

On December 14, 2021, we issued the 2021 Note in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to our sponsor. The 2021 Note was issued in connection with advances the Sponsor has made, and may make in the future, to the Company for working capital expenses. If we complete a business combination, we will repay the 2021 Note out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. Otherwise, the 2021 Note will 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 the 2021 Note but no proceeds from the trust account will be used to repay the 2021 Note. At the election of the sponsor, all or a portion of the unpaid principal amount of the 2021 Note may be converted into warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per warrant (the "Conversion Warrants"). The Conversion Warrants and their underlying securities are entitled to the registration rights set forth in the 2021 Note. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was $1,000,000 outstanding under the 2021 Note.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds held outside of the trust account 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.





                                       21




In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB's Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") Topic 2014-15, "Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern," the Company has until July 20, 2022 (or January 20, 2023, if extended) to consummate an initial business combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate an initial business combination by this time. If an initial business combination is not consummated by this date and an extension not requested by the Sponsor, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should an initial business combination not occur and an extension is not requested by the Sponsor, 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 July 20, 2022 (or, if extended, January 20, 2023). The Company intends to complete an initial business combination before the mandatory liquidation date.





Contractual Obligations



We did not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities, other than deferred underwriting fees of $5,232,500, $1,000,000 outstanding under the 2021 Note and $503,186 of amounts due to our Sponsor at March 31, 2022.





Critical Accounting Policies



This management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Except as set forth below, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies as discussed in our Annual Report Form 10-K files with the SEC on March 31, 2022.





Warrants Liability


We evaluated the warrants in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 815-40, "Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity" ("ASC 815-40") and concluded that a provision in the Warrant Agreement, dated January 14, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental, as warrant agent, related to certain tender or exchange offers as well as provisions that provided for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant, precludes the warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the warrants meet the definition of a "derivative" as contemplated in ASC 815-40 and are not eligible for an exception from derivative accounting, the warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities on the Balance Sheets in the accompanying financial statements and measured at fair value at inception (on the date of the initial public offering) and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement", with changes in fair value recognized in the Statements of Operations in the accompanying financial statements in the period of change.





                                       22




Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 14,950,000 shares of Class A commons stock sold as part of the units in the initial public offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company's liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial business combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff's guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC Topic 480-10-S99, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity", redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity's equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC Topic 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity". Accordingly, at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity section of the Company's balance sheets, respectively.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.





Net Income Per Common Share


The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share". Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company has two classes of shares, Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 14,532,500 of the Company's Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted income per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net income (loss) per common share for 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement," for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

The fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities reflects management's estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for


          identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to
          access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being
          applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily
          and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these
          securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 - Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar


          assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not
          active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted
          prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived
          principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other
          means.



Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the


          overall fair value measurement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB issued final guidance that amends ASC 815 and other topics to expand and clarify the use of what is now called the portfolio layer method for fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The amendments address stakeholder concerns about the application of this method, which was called the last-of-layer method when it was introduced in ASU 2017-12. This method was intended to reduce complexity when applying fair value hedge accounting to portfolios of prepayable financial assets or one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of prepayable financial instruments; but stakeholders noted that limiting hedge accounting to a single layer of a closed portfolio was inconsistent with entities' risk management objectives and decreased the model's usefulness. Stakeholders also said that nonprepayable financial assets should be eligible to be included in the closed portfolio being hedged and that more guidance on how to account for the fair value hedge basis adjustment associated with existing last-of-layer hedges was needed. Stakeholders also said that nonprepayable financial assets should be eligible to be included in the closed portfolio being hedged and that more guidance on how to account for the fair value hedge basis adjustment associated with existing last-of-layer hedges was needed. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company has not adopted this guidance as of March 31, 2022.

The FASB issued final guidance1 amending ASC 310 to eliminate the recognition and measurement guidance for a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) for creditors that have adopted the new credit losses guidance in ASC 326. The guidance also requires public business entities to present gross write-offs by year of origination in their vintage disclosures. The FASB issued the guidance in response to stakeholder feedback as part of the postimplementation review of its new credit losses standard. Stakeholders said the TDR accounting guidance was no longer relevant because under ASC 326 entities account for full lifetime expected credit losses. They also raised questions about whether entities need to present gross write-offs and gross recoveries in vintage disclosures, since the guidance doesn't specifically address this point, but the disclosures are included in an example. Financial statement users told the FASB that information about gross write-offs is valuable. For entities that have adopted the guidance in ASC 326, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2022, and interim periods therein. The Company has not adopted this guidance as of March 31, 2022.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU Topic 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity" ("ASU 2020-06"), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current US GAAP. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024 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.

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





                                       24




Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
