We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through March 31, 2022 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. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We
generate non-operating
income in the form of interest income on marketable securities. We are incurring 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 completing a Business Combination.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had net income of $7,126,838, which consists of change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $7,212,773, change in fair value of FPA of $127,629 and interest income on investments held in the Trust Account of $20,140, offset by operating and formation costs of $233,704.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we did not have any operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On June 11, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to our sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $6,000,000.
Following our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $200,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $11,587,941 in transaction costs, including $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $7,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $587,941 of other cash offering costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $164,976. Net income of $7,126,838 consists of an unrealized loss on change on fair value of warrants and FPA liability of $127,629, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $7,212,773, interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $20,140, and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which provided $68,728 of cash from operating activities.
As of March 31, 2022, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $200,027,415. 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. To the extent that our share capital 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.
As of March 31, 2022, we had cash of $720,222 for working capital purposes, held in Trust Account temporarily. We intend to use the funds for working capital purpose 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.
