Results of our operations and our ability to complete the initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. The business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. At this time, we cannot fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete the initial Business Combination.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On July 28, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 4,000,000 Units, generating gross proceeds of $40,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 260,000 Private Units to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit generating gross proceeds of $2,600,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Units, a total of $40,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $2,646,665 in transaction costs, including $1,000,000 of underwriting fees, $1,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $646,665 of other offering costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $288,815. Net income of $626,804 was offset by interest earned on investments of $239,106 and change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $860,000. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $183,487 of cash from operating activities.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $307,670. Net income of $1,402,430 was offset by interest earned on investments of $3,304 and change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1,910,000. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $97,634 of cash from operating activities.
At September 30, 2022, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $42,019,110. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, excluding deferred underwriting commissions, to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a 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.
At September 30, 2022, we had cash of $9,431 held 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, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. If we complete a Business Combination, we may repay such notes out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. 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 notes, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of notes may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Units.
