Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from September 11, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and after the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination at the earliest. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance) as well as identifying and evaluating targets for Business Combination.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of $1,864,740, which consists of a change in fair value of warrant liability of $2,653,334 and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $18,665, offset by general and administrative expenses of $807,259.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of $1,871,572, which consists of a change in fair value of warrant liability of $3,714,667 and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $56,081, offset by general and administrative expenses of $1,899,176.
For the period from September 11, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $1,000, which consisted of formation and operational cost.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On December 22, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 4,933,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $7,400,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $250,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $14,161,525 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $5,000,000 of underwriting fees and $8,750,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $411,525 of other offering costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $1,057,193. Net income of $1,871,572 was affected by a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $3,714,667 and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $56,081. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $841,983 of cash for operating activities.
For the period from September 11, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, there was no cash used in operating activities.
As of September 30, 2021, we had cash held in the Trust Account of $250,059,378. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through September 30, 2021, we have not withdrawn any interest earned from the Trust Account.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our 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.
As of September 30, 2021, we had cash of $277,805. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to 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, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. 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
