Going Concern Consideration
As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $76,000 in cash, approximately $99,000 of interest income available in the Trust Account to pay for taxes and a working capital deficit of approximately $3.7 million (not taking into account tax obligations of approximately $150,000 that may be paid using investment income earned in Trust Account). Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans.
Our liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from our Sponsor to purchase Founder Shares, loan amount of $200,000 under the Note and an advance of approximately $791,000 from related parties. We fully repaid the Note balance and the advance from the related parties, for a total of approximately $991,000, on March 10, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account, and the advance of $37,000 from an officer in August 2021.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will not have sufficient working capital to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Our management continues to evaluate the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of our operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of this financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Our entire activity since inception through September 30, 2021 related to our formation, the preparation for the Initial Public Offering, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We generate
non-operating
income in the form of gain on investment (net), dividends and interest held in Trust Account. We expect to 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.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $6.6 million, which consisted of approximately $3.9 million in general and administrative expenses, $50,000 of franchise tax expense, and a
non-operating
loss of approximately $2.7 million resulting from the change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, which was partially offset by approximately $41,000 in interest income and net gain on investments held in the Trust Account.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $14 million, which consisted of approximately $7.3 million in general and administrative expenses, approximately $150,000 of franchise tax expense, a
non-operating
loss of approximately $14.1 million incurred upon the issuance of private placement warrants, and offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities of approximately $0.7 million, which was partially offset by approximately $99,000 in interest income and net gain on investments held in the Trust Account, and a
non-operating
gain of approximately $0.7 million resulting from a decrease in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities.
