Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 24, 2020, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement 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 operating revenues to date. Our only activities from January 1, 2021 through March 31, 2021 were organizational activities in connection with searching for a Business Combination. 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 period from January 1, 2021 through March 31, 2021, we had a positive net income of $5,128,710, which consisted of operational costs and compliance costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2021, we had $705,739 in cash. Following the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our primary source of liquidity is the proceeds from our Initial Public Offering not held in the Trust Account.
On December 2, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 14,375,000 Units, at a price of $10.10 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $143,750,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 6,062,500 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant generating gross proceeds of $6,062,500.
Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $145,187,504 ($10.10 per unit) was placed in the Trust Account, and we had $1,219,936 of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital purposes. As of December 2, 2020, we had an accounts payable liability of $228,254, primarily related to offering expenses.
Transaction costs amounted to $8,361,625, consisting of $2,875,000 of underwriting fees, $5,031,250 of deferred underwriting fees and $455,375 of other offering costs. In addition, cash of $1,219,936 was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for the payment of offering costs and for working capital purposes. During the period ended March 31, 2021, we reduced our cash balance held out of trust by approximately $242,000 primarily related to working capital, compliance and legal expense.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, which interest shall be net of taxes payable and 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.
