For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $335,035, which was due to a non-cash gain on the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $2,351,375, and interest and dividend income on investments held in Trust Account of $64,273 offset in part by our net income of $1,174,482, changes in working capital of $905,331 and a change in fair value of convertible promissory note - related party of $800.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $626,996, which was due to a non-cash gain on the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $619,543, and interest and dividend income on investments held in Trust Account of $14,405, changes in working capital of $519,121 and net loss of $3,943,374, partially offset by fair value in excess of proceeds from the sale of private placement warrants of $3,507,000 and transaction costs allocated to warrant liabilities of $962,447.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash provided by investing activities of $63,747 was the result of proceeds from Trust Account to pay tax.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in investing activities of $317,500,000 was the result of the amount of net proceeds from our Initial Public Offering being deposited to the Trust Account.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 net cash provided by financing activities of $208,827 was fully provided by proceeds from the promissory note - related party.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 net cash provided by financing activities of $319,047,886 was comprised of $311,150,000 in proceeds from the issuance of units in our Initial Public Offering net of underwriter’s discount paid, $8,350,000 in proceeds from the issuance of warrants in a private placement to our Sponsor, and $41,500 in proceeds from the Sponsor note, offset in part by the payment of $329,614 for offering costs associated with the Initial Public Offering and repayment of the outstanding balance on a promissory note to our Sponsor of $164,000.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash of $67,898 and $130,359, respectively, held outside the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to complete a business combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial 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 on a non-interest basis. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial 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 warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account. On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into a working capital loan with the Sponsor in the amount of $350,000, pursuant to which the Company received proceeds of $208,827 during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. We may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial 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 public shares upon completion of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $67,898 in cash held outside of the Trust Account and working capital deficit of $2,811,153 (excluding franchise tax payable). The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through the Business Combination as discussed above and potential Working Capital Loans, as discussed in Note 5. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate the Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period, which will end on March 4, 2023, at which time the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating, or if the Sponsor will commit to the Working Capital Loans, by which, in February 2022, the Company entered into a promissory note with the Sponsor in the amount of $350,000.
