Revision to Previously Issued Financial Statements
As discussed in Note 2 – Revision to Previously Issued Financial Statements in the Notes to the unaudited condensed financial statements, the Company revised its previously filed financial statements to classify all of its Class A common stock as temporary equity and to recognize accretion from the initial book value to redemption value at the time of its Initial Public Offering and in accordance with ASC 480.
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through September 30, 2021 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below. 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 investments 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 13, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, we had net income of $4,460,101, which consisted of a gain of $6,496,009 for the change in fair value of our warrant liability, offset by formation and operating costs of $1,485,953 and offering costs allocated to warrants of $570,496. We are required to revalue our liability-classified warrants at the end of each reporting period and reflect in the statement of operations a gain or loss from the change in fair value of the warrant liability in the period in which the change occurred.
For the period from July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2021, we had net income of $5,454,687, which consisted of a gain of $6,658,475 for the change in fair value of our warrant liability, offset by formation and operating costs of $1,208,967. We are required to revalue our liability-classified warrants at the end of each reporting period and reflect in the statement of operations a gain or loss from the change in fair value of the warrant liability in the period in which the change occurred.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2021, we had $58,873 in our operating bank account and working capital deficit of $356,380. Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through the proceeds of $25,000 from our Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, and an up to $300,000 note agreement initially issued to an executive officer of the Company.
On March 25, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 35,000,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $350,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000.
On April 13, 2021, in connection with the underwriters’ election to exercise their over-allotment option, we consummated the sale of an additional 5,250,000 Units and the sale of an additional 700,000 Private Placement Warrants, generating total gross proceeds of $52,500,000.
As of September 30, 2021 we held a balance in the Trust Account of $402,520,541, and $58,873 of cash held outside of the Trust Account, as of April 13, 2021, the date of the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment after payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital purposes. We incurred $22,733,025 in transaction costs in connection with our IPO and the over-allotment, including $8,050,000 of underwriting fees, $14,087,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $595,525 of other offering costs.
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. 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.
