Liquidity and Capital Resources
On November 23, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 8,000,000 units, at a price of $10.00 per unit (each a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”), generating gross proceeds of $80,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 410,000 private placement units (each, a “Private Placement Unit” and collectively, the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit generating gross proceeds of $4,100,000.
Additionally, on December 1, 2020, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in an additional 1,200,000 units issued for an aggregate amount of $12,000,000. In connection with the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, the company also consummated the sale of an additional 24,000 Private Placement Units at $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $12,240,000. A total of $12,000,000 was deposited into the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $92,000,000.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $596,514. Net loss of $3,817,036 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $31,646, and the change in fair value of warrants of $1,734,134. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $1,518,034 of cash for operating activities.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the sale of the Private Placement Units, and the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, a total of $92,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $5,658,864 in transaction costs, including $1,840,000 of underwriting fees, $3,220,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $598,864 of other costs.
At June 30, 2021, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $92,029,147. 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.
At June 30, 2021, we had cash of $390,673. 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, 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. If we complete a Business Combination, we may repay such loaned amounts 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 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 Private Placement Units of the post-Business Combination entity, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, at the option of the lender. The Units would be identical to the Private Placement Units.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking
in-depth
due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, 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 our 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.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered
off-balance
sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2021. 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.
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $55,000 for office space and administrative support services provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on November 18, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit or $3,220,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
