The Nasdaq Notice states that we have 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule. If we are unable to regain compliance by that date, we intend to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule within the required timeframe. If Nasdaq accepts our plan, Nasdaq may grant us an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq Notice to evidence compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule. If Nasdaq does not accept our plan, we will have the opportunity to appeal the decision in front of a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
We are monitoring the number of holders of our Class A ordinary shares and will consider the options available to us to potentially achieve compliance.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities for the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through December 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 will generate non-operating income in the form of investment income on cash and cash equivalents held after the initial public offering and will recognize other income and expense related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities. 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 year ended December 31, 2022, we had net income of $7,596,243, which resulted from a gain on the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $6,530,000 and a gain on investments held in the Trust Account in the amount of $2,317,796, partially offset by operating and formation costs of $1,251,553.
For the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, we had net income of $4,386,819, which resulted from a gain on the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $5,296,250 and a gain on investments held in the Trust Account in the amount of $30,739, partially offset by operating and formation costs of $533,130 and expensed offering costs of $407,040.

On June 25, 2021, we consummated an initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 15,000,000 Units (the “Units”) generating gross proceeds to the Company of $150,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale of 3,225,000 warrants to Coliseum Acquisition Sponsor LLC at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants”), generating gross proceeds of $4,837,500.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $568,909, which was due to non-cash adjustments to net income related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $6,530,000 and a gain on investments held in the Trust Account of $2,317,796, partially offset by net income of $7,596,243 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $682,644.
