Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 13, 2021. We were 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 (the "Business Combination"). We are an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Warrants, 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 raise capital or to complete our initial 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 inception to December 31, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, conducting the IPO and identifying a target company for a business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO 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, 2022, we had a net loss of $1,848,123 which consisted of realized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $802,841 offset by formation and operational costs of $2,369,751, franchise tax of $200,050 and provision for income tax of $81,163.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 16, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of 5,000,000 units (the "Units" and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the "Public Shares"), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000, and incurring offering costs of $3,153,369, of which $1,750,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 6).

Simultaneously with the consummation of the closing of the Offering, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 270,900 units (the "Private Placement Units") to Global Link Investment LLC, the sponsor of the Company (the "Sponsor"), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $2,709,000 (the "Private Placement") (see Note 4).

Subsequently, on August 19, 2021, the Company consummated the closing of the sale of 750,000 additional units at a price of $10 per unit (the "Units") upon receiving notice of the underwriters' election to fully exercise their overallotment option ("Overallotment Units"), generating additional gross proceeds of $7,500,000 and incurred additional offering costs of $412,500, of which 262,500 are for deferred underwriting commissions. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share ("Class A Common Stock"), one-half of one Class A redeemable warrant of the Company ("Warrant"), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per share, and one Right ("Right"), with each Right entitling the holder to receive one-tenth of one share of Class A Common Stock, subject to adjustment, pursuant to the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-256840).

Simultaneously with the exercise of the overallotment, the Company consummated the Private Placement of an additional 22,500 Private Placement Units to Global Link Investment LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Sponsor"), generating gross proceeds of $225,000.

Transaction costs of the IPO with the exercise of the overallotment amounted to $3,565,869 consisting of $1,150,000 of cash underwriting fees, $2,012,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $403,369 of other costs.

As of December 31, 2022, we have available to us $24,927 of cash on our balance sheet and a working capital of $13,259,991. We intend to use the funds held outside of the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. The interest income earned on the investments in the Trust Account are unavailable to fund operating expenses.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company's Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company's officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required ("Working Capital Loans"). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender's discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into additional Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. As December 31, 2022, the Company has borrowed $662,787 under such loans.

If the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate the initial Business Combination within 12 months, the Company may, by resolution of the board if requested by the Sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to two times, each by an additional three months (for a total of up to 18 months to complete a Business Combination), subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds into the trust account as set out below. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the trust agreement to be entered into between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, in order for the time available for the Company to consummate the initial Business Combination to be extended, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees, must deposit into the Trust Account $575,000 with the underwriters' over-allotment option exercised in full ($0.10 per unit in either case), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each of the available three month extensions, providing a total possible Business Combination period of 18 months at a total payment value of $575,000 with the underwriters' over-allotment option exercised in full ($0.10 per unit). Any such payments would be made in the form of a loan. Any such loans will be non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of a Business Combination out of the proceeds of the trust account released to it. On August 8, 2022, the Company entered into a loan and transfer agreement with the Sponsor, according to which on August 15, 2022, the Company's Sponsor has deposited into the Company's trust account $575,000 representing $0.10 per public share) to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by three months from August 16, 2022 to November 16, 2022 (the "Extension"). On November 16, 2022, the Company's Sponsor has further deposited into the Company's trust account $575,000 (representing $0.10 per public share) to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by three months from November 16, 2022 to February 16, 2023.

Going Concern Consideration

The Company expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-15, "Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern," management has determined that if the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial business combination within the prescribed period of time from the closing of the IPO, the requirement that the Company cease all operations, redeem the public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The balance sheet does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management has determined that the Company has funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the consummation of an initial business combination or the winding up of the Company as stipulated in the Company's amended and restated memorandum of association. The accompanying financial statement has been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 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. The underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of three point five percent (3.50%) of the gross proceeds of the Offering upon closing of the Business Combination, or $2,012,500. 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 audited 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 audited financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of December 31, 2022, there was no critical accounting policies.





Recent Accounting Standards

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