Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our Initial Public Offering and identifying a target company for our initial Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We
generate non-operating income
in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents 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 for due diligence expenses.
For the period from January 27, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021, we had a net income of $3.5 million. We recorded a gain on the change in fair value of warrants of $4.1 million, offset by $0.2 million of offering costs allocated to warrants and $0.3 million of formation and operating costs consisting mostly of general and administrative expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net income of $3.2 million. We recorded a gain on the change in fair value of warrants of $3.5 million, offset by $0.3 million of formation and operating costs consisting mostly of general and administrative expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $1.0 million in its operating bank account, and working capital of
approximately $1.1 million.
All remaining cash held in the Trust Account is generally unavailable for the Company’s use, prior to an initial Business Combination, and is restricted for use either in a Business Combination or to redeem Class A ordinary shares. As of June 30, 2021, none of the amount in the Trust Account was available to be withdrawn as described above.
Through June 30, 2021, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with working capital loans. As of June 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any working capital loan.
Until consummation of our initial Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account, and any additional Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 6 to our financial statements) from the initial shareholders, the Company’s officers and directors, or their respective affiliates (which is described in Note 6 to our financial statements), for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the initial Business Combination.
The Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the Company’s estimates of the costs of
undertaking in-depth due
diligence and negotiating a Business Combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the initial Business Combination. Moreover, the Company will need to raise additional capital through loans from its Sponsor, officers, directors, or third parties. None of the Sponsor, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
Derivative Warrant Liabilities
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
We issued an aggregate of 11,000,000 Warrants in connection with our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, which are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with
ASC 815-40. Accordingly,
we recognize the Warrants as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. The fair value of Warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement has been estimated using Monte Carlo simulations at the initial measurement date and, for the Private Placement Warrants, as of each subsequent measurement date. As of June 30, 2021, the Public Warrants are valued at the quoted market price.
