CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”), including the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, regarding future events and the future results of the Company that are based on current
expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industry in which the Company operates and the beliefs and assumptions
of the management of the Company. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,”
“goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,”
“seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify
such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions
that are difficult to predict. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.
Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this Report,
including under “Risk Factors”, and in other reports and filings the Company files with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”), which can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s
website at www.sec.gov .
The
following discussion is based upon our unaudited Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report, which have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates
and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingencies.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Factors that could cause or contribute to these
differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Report, and in other reports we file with the SEC.
Summary
Risk Factors
Our
business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in, and incorporated by reference in, the section
titled “Risk Factors,” that represent challenges that we face in connection with the successful implementation
of our strategy. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in, and/or incorporated by reference in, the
section titled “Risk Factors,” alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect
our ability to effect a business combination, and may have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results
of operations. Such risks include, but are not limited to:
|
● |
we
are a newly formed company with no operating history and no revenues; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
ability to continue as a “going concern”; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we
may not be able to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame; |
|
|
|
|
● |
stockholders
have no rights or interests in funds from the trust account, except under certain limited circumstances; |
|
|
|
|
● |
negative
interest rate for securities in which we invest the funds held in the trust account; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us; |
|
|
|
|
● |
if
third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount
received by stockholders may be less than $10.20 per share; |
|
|
|
|
● |
subsequent
to completion of our initial business combination, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment
or other charges; |
|
|
|
|
● |
conflicts
of interest of our sponsor, officers and directors; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we
may have a limited ability to assess the management of a prospective target business; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
public stockholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our proposed business combination; |
|
● |
the
absence of a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to complete a business combination with which a substantial majority
of our stockholders do not agree; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we
may redeem unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to holders; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we
may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of public warrants with the approval by the
holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
competitors have advantages over us in seeking business combinations; |
|
● |
we
may be unable to obtain additional financing; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we
may issue additional equity and/or debt securities to complete our initial business combination; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
sponsor controls a substantial interest in us; |
|
|
|
|
● |
if
we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination, our sponsor, who controls a substantial interest in us, has agreed
to vote in favor of such initial business combination, regardless of how our public stockholders vote; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
ability of our public stockholders to redeem their shares for cash may make our financial condition unattractive to potential business
combination targets, may not allow us to complete the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital structure, and
will increase the probability that our initial business combination would be unsuccessful; |
|
|
|
|
● |
lack
of protections normally afforded to investors of blank check companies; |
|
|
|
|
● |
possibility
of losing the ability to redeem all shares equal to or in excess of 15% of our common stock if we seek stockholder approval of our
initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Nasdaq
may delist our securities from trading on its exchange; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we
will likely only be able to complete one business combination with the proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the
private placement warrants, which will cause us to be solely dependent on a single business which may have a limited number of products
or services; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we
have not registered the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants sold as part of the units in our initial public
offering, and such registration may not be in place when an investor desires to exercise such warrants; |
|
|
|
|
● |
shares
being redeemed and warrants becoming worthless; |
|
|
|
|
● |
events
which may result in the per-share amount held in our trust account dropping below $10.20 per public share; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our sponsor; |
|
|
|
|
● |
if,
before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary
bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over
the claims of our stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our
liquidation may be reduced; |
|
● |
because
we are not limited to a particular industry or any specific target businesses with which to pursue our initial business combination,
you will be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of any particular target business’s operations; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we
may seek acquisition opportunities in companies that may be outside of our management’s areas of expertise; |
|
|
|
|
● |
impact
of COVID-19 and related risks; |
|
|
|
|
● |
if
we effect our initial business combination with a company with operations or opportunities outside of the United States, we would
be subject to a variety of additional risks that may negatively impact our operations; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
changes
in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, tax consequences to business combinations may adversely
affect our business, investments and results of operations. |
All
forward-looking statements speak only at the date of the filing of this Report. The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements
we make in this Report are reasonable, we provide no assurance that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. We disclose
important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations under “Risk Factors”
and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in
this Report. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf. We
do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements except as required by law, including the
securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note
1— Organization and Business Operations
Aesther
Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a newly organized blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting
a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more
businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any potential Business Combination target and the Company
has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any potential Business Combination
target.
As
of September 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from June 17, 2021 (inception) through
September 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”).
The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest.
The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived
from the Initial Public Offering (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The
registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 14, 2021. On September 17,
2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 10,500,000
units, each consisting of one share of Class
A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock
included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00
per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $105,000,000,
which is described in Note 3 – Initial Public Offering.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,411,000
warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”)
at a price of $1.00
per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement
(the “Private Placement”) to Aesther Healthcare Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $5,411,000,
which is described in Note 4 – Private Placement.
Transaction
costs amounted to $4,615,992, consisting of $1,050,000 of underwriting fees, $3,150,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $415,992 of
other offering costs. In addition, at September 30, 2021, cash of $1,162,203 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below)
and is available for working capital purposes.
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering on September 17, 2021, an amount of $107,100,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of
the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the
“Trust Account”) located in the United States and will be invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning
set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity
of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting
the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until
the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.
The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward
consummating a Business Combination. Nasdaq rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that
together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (less any deferred underwriting
commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement to enter a Business
Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more
of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to
be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able
to successfully effect a Business Combination.
The
Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem
all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting
called to approve the Business Combination pursuant to the proxy solicitation rules of the SEC or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In
connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company will be required to seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination
at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against
a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least
$5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and a majority of the outstanding shares voted
are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
If
the Company conducts redemptions of the Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination pursuant to the proxy solicitation rules
in conjunction with a stockholder meeting instead of pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s amended and restated certificate
of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) provides that, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of
such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section
13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights
with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.
The
public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially
$10.20 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company
to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to stockholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the
deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of
a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. These Class A common stock are recorded at redemption value and
classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
If
the Company is unable to conduct redemptions pursuant to the proxy solicitation rules as described above, the Company will, pursuant
to its Certificate of Incorporation, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents
containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
The
Company’s Sponsor, officers, directors, and advisors have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5 –
Related Party Transactions) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination,
(b) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the Company’s pre-Business
Combination activities prior to the consummation of a Business Combination unless the Company provides dissenting public stockholders
with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (c) not to redeem any shares (including the
Founder Shares) into cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a Business Combination (or to sell
any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if the Company is unable to conduct redemptions pursuant to the
proxy solicitation rules) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights
of pre-Business Combination activity and (d) that the Founder Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding
up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However, the Sponsor and our officers, directors and advisors will be entitled to liquidating
distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering if the Company
fails to complete its Business Combination.
If
the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or September
17, 2022, subject to the right to extend the period of time to consummate the Business Combination two times, by an additional three
months each time (for a total of up to 18 months)(the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except
for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public
shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest
earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay
dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’
rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii)
as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s
board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case
to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The underwriters have
agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete
a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust
Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the
per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the price per Unit $10.20.
The
Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products
sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality
or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20
per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the day of liquidation of the Trust Account,
if less than $10.20 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will
not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in
the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of
the underwriters of Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor
has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that
the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure its stockholders that the Sponsor
would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by
third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses. The Company will seek to reduce the
possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors,
service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the
Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at September 30, 2021, we had $1,162,203 of cash and a working capital surplus of
$1,823,222. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans.
We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to consummate the Business Combination will be successful.
Our
liquidity needs have been satisfied prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering through a capital contribution from our Sponsor
of $for the founder shares and up to $in loans available from our Sponsor under an
unsecured promissory note (of which approximately $had been borrowed and repaid as of September
17, 2021 and $0 was
outstanding as of September 30, 2021). The net proceeds from (i) the sale of the units in the Initial Public Offering, after deducting
transaction costs of $4,615,992,
consisting of $1,050,000
of underwriting fees, $3,150,000
of deferred underwriting fees and $415,992
of other offering costs (excluding deferred underwriting
commissions of $3,150,000
(or up to $3,450,000
if the underwriters’ over-allotment option
is exercised in full)), and (ii) the sale of the placement warrants for a purchase price of $5,411,000
(or $5,711,000
if the underwriters’ over-allotment option
is exercised in full), which was $105,797,045.
Of this amount, $107,100,000
(or up to $117,300,000
if the underwriters’ over-allotment option
is exercised in full) are held in the trust account, which includes $3,150,000
(or $3,450,000
if the underwriters’ over-allotment option
is exercised in full) of deferred underwriting commissions. The proceeds held in the trust account will be invested only in U.S. government
treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. The remaining $2,001,000 ($1,162,203 as of
September 30, 2021, after the repayment of amounts owed to the Sponsor and certain operating expenses) will not be held in the trust account. In the event that our offering expenses exceed our estimate of $1,261,000, we may fund such
excess with funds not to be held in the trust account. In such case, the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account
would decrease by a corresponding amount. Conversely, in the event that the offering expenses are less than our estimate of $1,261,000,
the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would increase by a corresponding amount.
We
intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust
account (less deferred underwriting commissions), to complete the Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. We estimate
our annual franchise tax obligations, based on the number of shares of our common stock authorized and outstanding after the completion
of the Initial Public Offering, to be $200,000, which is the maximum amount of annual franchise taxes payable by us as a Delaware corporation
per annum, which we may pay from funds from the Initial Public Offering held outside of the trust account or from interest earned on
the funds held in our trust account and released to us for this purpose. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount
of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. We expect the interest earned on the amount in the trust
account will be sufficient to pay our income taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration
to complete the 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.
Prior
to the completion of the Business Combination, we will have available to us the approximately $1,800,000 of proceeds held outside the
trust account (when including prepaid expenses and interest). We will use these funds to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform
business due diligence on prospective target businesses, 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, and structure,
negotiate and complete an initial Business Combination.
In
order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination,
our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds on a
non-interest bearing basis as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In
the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account
to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans
may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender, upon consummation of our initial business
combination. The warrants would be identical to the placement warrants. Other than as described above, the terms of such loans by our
officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect
to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to
loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.
We
expect our primary liquidity requirements during that period to include approximately $500,000 for legal, accounting, due diligence,
travel and other expenses associated with structuring, negotiating and documenting successful business combinations; $100,000 for legal
and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements; $56,500 for Nasdaq Fees; $650,000 for Directors & Officers Insurance;
$180,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support; and approximately $163,500 for working capital that
will be used for miscellaneous expenses and reserves.
These
amounts are estimates and may differ materially from our actual expenses. In addition, we could use a portion of the funds not being
placed in trust to pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business or as a
down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from “shopping”
around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular
proposed initial business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into an agreement where
we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop”
provision would be determined based on the terms of the specific business combination and the amount of our available funds at the time.
Our forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise) could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue
searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.
We
do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However,
if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial Business
Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior
to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination
or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial Business Combination,
in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. In addition, we intend to
target businesses larger than we could acquire with the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the placement warrants,
and may as a result be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial Business Combination. Subject to compliance
with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial Business Combination.
If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced
to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient,
we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
As
of September 30, 2021, the Company has sufficient cash to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that
the financial statement is issued.
Risks
and Uncertainties
Management
is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could
have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific
impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note
2— Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Emerging
Growth Company Status
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements
that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required
to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding
executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory
vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do
not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of
such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public
or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which
is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult
or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
installments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution,
which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage limit of $250,000. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has not
experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The Company did 0t have cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021.
Cash
Held in Trust Account
As
of September 30, 2021, the Company had $107,100,173 in cash held in the Trust Account.
Class
A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
All
of the 10,500,000 Class A common stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for
the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer
in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate
of incorporation. In accordance with ASC 480, conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature
redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not
solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption
and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company did
not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently, the Company will not redeem its Public Shares in an
amount that would cause its net tangible assets (stockholders’ equity) to be less than $5,000,001. Accordingly, as of September
30, 2021, 10,500,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption at the redemption amount were presented at redemption
value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term
nature.
Offering
Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
The
Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A –
Expenses of Offering. Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance
sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounted to $4,615,992 and was charged to stockholders’
equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
Net
Loss Per Share of Common Stock
The
Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Common Stock.” Net
loss per common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period, excluding common stock subject to forfeiture. An aggregate of 10,500,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption
at September 30, 2021 have been excluded from the calculation of basic loss per share of common stock, since such shares, if redeemed,
only participate in their pro rata share of the trust earnings. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the
Initial Public Offering (including warrants sold in connection with the partial sale of units in connection with the over-allotment option)
and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 5,411,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the calculation of diluted
loss per share, since the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.
The
Company’s unaudited statements of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share of Common Stock for Redeemable
Class A common stock in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share of Common Stock. Net income per share of
Common Stock, basic and diluted, for Redeemable Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income or loss
on marketable securities held by the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of common
stock subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.
Net
loss per share of Common Stock, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable Class A and Class B common stock is calculated by dividing the
net loss, adjusted for income or loss on marketable securities attributable to redeemable Class A common stock, by the weighted average
number of non-redeemable Common Stock outstanding for the period.
Non-redeemable
Class A and Class B common stock includes founder shares (see Note 5 – Related Party Transactions) and non-redeemable shares
of Common Stock as these shares do not have any redemption features. Non-redeemable Class A and Class B common stock participates in
the income or loss on marketable securities based on non-redeemable shares of Common Stock’s proportionate interest.
The
basic and diluted loss per common share is calculated as follows:

Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets
and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally
requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not
be realized.
ASC
740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes
a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination
by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
period, disclosure and transition.
The
Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized
tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues
under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The
Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction.
The
Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning
the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws.
The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next
twelve months.
The
provision for income taxes was deemed to be immaterial for the period from June 17, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021.
Recent
Accounting Standards
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect
on the Company’s financial statements.
Note
3— Initial Public Offering
On
September 17, 2021, the Company sold 10,500,000
Units at $10.00
per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $105.0
million, and incurring offering costs of $4,613,955,
consisting of $1,050,000
of underwriting fees, $3,150,000
of deferred underwriting fees and $413,955
of other offering costs. Each Unit consists of
one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public
Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price
of $11.50
per whole share (see Note 7 – Stockholders’
Equity).
Note
4 -Private Placement
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor has purchased 5,411,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per
warrant, generating total proceeds of $5,411,000 to the Company.
Each
Private Placement Warrant is identical to the warrants offered in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants,
so long as they are held by our Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, (i) may not (including the common stock shares issuable upon exercise
of such warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion
of our initial Business Combination, and (ii) will be entitled to registration rights.
Note
5 — Related Party Transactions
Founder
Shares
In
June 2021, the Sponsor paid $ to cover certain offering costs in consideration for Class B shares (the “founder
shares”). The number of founder shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the Initial Public
Offering would be a maximum of units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, and therefore
that such founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. Up to of the founder
shares were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised, of which
such founder shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The
Company’s initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares until the earlier to occur
of: (i) one year after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates
a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange
their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions
and other agreements of the initial stockholders with respect to any founder shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price
of the shares of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing 150 days after the initial Business
Combination, the founder shares will no longer be subject to such transfer restrictions.
Promissory
Note — Related Party
On
June 30, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering.
These loans were non-interest bearing, unsecured and were due at the earlier of June 30, 2022 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering.
These loans were repaid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering out of the $2,001,000 of offering proceeds that had been allocated
to the payment of offering expenses. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had borrowed $190,101 under the promissory note and the amount
was paid in full.
Related
Party Loans
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor
or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the
“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes an initial Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts
out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, such loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside
the Trust Account. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital
held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned
amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post Business Combination entity, at
a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to
the Sponsor. At September 30, 2021, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
Administrative
Support Agreement
The
Company has agreed to pay Aesther Healthcare Sponsor, LLC, our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial
and administrative support. The administrative support agreement began on September 14, 2021 and continues monthly until (i) the completion
of the Company’s initial Business Combination or (ii) liquidation of the Company.
Amount
Due to for Redemption Deposit in Trust Account
The
Company committed $2,100,000 of the private placement proceeds to the Trust Account so that the $10.20 redemption price would be funded.
Note
6— Commitments and Contingencies
Registration
Rights
The
holders of the founder shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and
any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the working
capital loans and upon conversion of the founder shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement
entered into on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the
case of the founder shares, only after conversion to shares of Class A common stock). The holders of these securities will be entitled
to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the
holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s
completion of the initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule
415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriters
Agreement
The
Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments, if any, at
the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions, of which a portion of option, totaling 500,000 Units
was exercised simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering.
The
underwriters are entitled to a cash underwriting discount of one percent (1%) of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or
$1,050,000 (or up to $1,150,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) and 100,000 of Class A common
stock. Additionally, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Initial
Public Offering, or $3,150,000 (or up to $3,450,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) held in the
Trust Account upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Note
7— Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred
Stock
The
Company is authorized to issue 1,250,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At September 30, 2021, there
were 0 shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class
A Common Stock
The
Company is authorized to issue 125,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common
stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At September 30, 2021, there were 100,000 shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding.
The underwriter was issued 100,000 shares of common stock which are referenced as the “representative’s shares” as
underwriting compensation in connection with the Initial Public Offering.
An
aggregate of 10,500,000 shares of Class A common stock were issued as part of the units offering and are subject to possible redemption.
Class
B Common Stock
The
Company is authorized to issue 12,500,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class
B common stock are entitled to one vote for each common stock. At September 30, 2021, there were 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock
issued and outstanding, of which 250,000 shares are subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option
is not exercised in full so that the founder shares will represent, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding
shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor does not purchase any public shares in the Initial Public Offering).
The
Company’s initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares until the earlier to occur
of (i) one year after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates
a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange
their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions
and other agreements of the initial stockholders with respect to any founder shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price
of the shares of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing 150 days after the initial Business
Combination, the founder shares will no longer be subject to the Lock-up.
The
shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business Combination
on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and
subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities,
are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of the initial
Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted
(unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any
such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class
B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock
outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (not including the representative’s shares) plus all shares of Class
A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination (excluding any
shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination or any private placement-equivalent
units issued to the Sponsor, its affiliates or certain of the Company’s officers and directors upon conversion of Working Capital
Loans made to the Company).
Holders
of the Class A common stock and holders of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to
a vote of the Company’s stockholders, with each share of common stock entitling the holder to one vote.
Warrants
Each
warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject
to adjustment. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital
raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less
than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board
of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held
by the Sponsor or its affiliates, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from
such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business
Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average
trading price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company
consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price
of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price,
and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class
A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market
Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The
warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier
upon redemption or liquidation. On the exercise of any warrant, the warrant exercise price will be paid directly to the Company and not
placed in the Trust Account.
The
Company is not registering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. However, the Company
has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination,
the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable
upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating
to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration
statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within 90 days after the
closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and
during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless
basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or another exemption.
Redemption
of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00
Once
the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:
|
● |
in
whole and not in part: |
|
● |
At
a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
|
● |
upon
a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”); and |
|
● |
if,
and only if, the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock
dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the
third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
If
the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the management will have the option to require all holders that wish
to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants
on a “cashless basis,” the management will consider, among other factors, the cash position, the number of warrants that
are outstanding and the dilutive effect on the stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock issuable
upon the exercise of the warrants. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number
of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common
stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value”
(defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of
the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption
is sent to the holders of warrants.
The
Placement Warrants, as well as any warrants underlying additional units the Company issues to the Sponsor, officers, directors, initial
stockholders or their affiliates in payment of Working Capital Loans made to the Company, are or will be identical to the warrants underlying
the Units being offered in the Initial Public Offering and may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or
sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and will be entitled to registration
rights.
Note
8 — Subsequent Events
The
Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to through October 18, 2021 the date
that the financial statements were issued. Other than as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would
have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Company
Overview
We
are a newly organized blank check company incorporated in June 2021 as a Delaware corporation whose business purpose is to effect
a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more
businesses, which we refer to as our initial business combination. To date, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities
as well as activities related to the initial public offering. We have not selected any specific business combination target.
While
we may pursue an initial business combination opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, we intend to focus
on industries that complement our management team’s background, and to capitalize on the ability of our management team to identify
and acquire a business and it is our current intention to pursue prospective targets that are focused in the pharmaceutical and medical
devices sectors. We anticipate focusing our investment effort broadly across the pharmaceutical and medical devices sectors. We believe
that our investment and operating expertise across multiple industry verticals will give us a large, addressable universe of potential
targets. The diversity of the target universe and the number of largely uncorrelated subsectors maximizes that likelihood that our management
team will be able to identify and execute an attractive transaction.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At
September 30, 2021, we had cash of $1,162,203 and working capital of $1,823,222.
The
Company’s liquidity needs up to September 30, 2021 were satisfied through the proceeds of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder
Shares (see Note 5 – Related Party Transactions to the notes to the unaudited financial statements included herein under Part I,
Item 1 (the “Footnotes”)), a loan of $190,101 under an unsecured and noninterest bearing promissory note obtained from our
sponsor, which was repaid following our Initial Public Offering (see Note 5 – Related Party Transactions to the Footnotes), and
from the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the trust account
(“Trust Account”) located in the United States at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
acting as trustee.
As
of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash in the Trust Account of $107,100,173. The Company intends to use substantially all of the
funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting
commissions) to complete its initial Business Combination. The Company may withdraw interest to pay taxes.
Until
the consummation of a Business Combination, we will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective
acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target
business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. We will need to raise additional capital
through loans or additional investments from our Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s Sponsor,
officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they
deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs (“Working Capital Loans”). To
date, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing.
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 a potential transaction, and reducing overhead
expenses.
Based
on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs
through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will
be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable and accrued liabilities, identifying and evaluating
prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures,
selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. The Company
does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating the business. However,
if the Company’s estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an
initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to
operate the business prior to the initial Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either
to complete the initial Business Combination or to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of the initial Business
Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such initial Business Combination.
We
cannot provide any assurance that such new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
If
the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate a Business Combination within 12 months, the Company may, by resolution
of the Company’s board if requested by the Sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to two times,
each by an additional three months (for a total of up to 18 months to complete a Business Combination), subject to the Sponsor depositing
additional funds into the Trust Account. In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate its initial Business Combination,
the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees, upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the Trust
Account for each three-month extension, $1,000,000, or $1,150,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full
($0.10 per share in either case) on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, up to an aggregate of $2,000,000 (or $2,300,000
if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), or approximately $0.20 per share. Any such payments would be
made in the form of a loan. Any such loans will be non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of the Company’s initial
Business Combination. If the Company completes an initial Business Combination, it would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds
of the Trust Account released to it. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, we will not repay such loans. Furthermore,
the letter agreement with the Company’s initial stockholders contains a provision pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to waive
its right to be repaid for such loans out of the funds held in the Trust Account in the event that the Company does not complete a Business
Combination. In the event that the Company receives notice from the Sponsor five days prior to the applicable deadline of its wish for
the Company to effect an extension, the Company intends to issue a press release announcing such intention at least three days prior
to the applicable deadline. In addition, the Company intends to issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline announcing
whether or not the funds had been timely deposited. The Sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account
to extend the time for the Company to complete its initial Business Combination. The public stockholders will not be afforded an opportunity
to vote on the extension of time to consummate an initial Business Combination from 12 months to 18 months described above or redeem
their shares in connection with such extensions.
Results
of Operations
Our
entire activity from inception to our Initial Public Offering was in preparation for our Initial Public Offering, and since our Initial
Public Offering, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We will not generate any
operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $42,545 from formation, offering and operating costs.
For
the period from June 17, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $42,627 from formation, offering and operating
costs.
Commitments
and Contractual Obligations
Registration
Rights
The
holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any
(and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion
of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares), are entitled to certain registration rights pursuant to a registration
rights agreement. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggy-back” registration rights. We will bear the
expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting
Agreement
The
underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.10 per Unit, or $1,050,000 in the aggregate (reflecting the partial exercise
by the underwriter of its over-allotment option), paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. $3,150,000 in the aggregate (reflecting
the partial exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option), will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions.
The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company
completes an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
had no outstanding off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these
financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of net sales and expenses for each
period. The following represents a summary of our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most
important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective
or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
JOBS
Act
The
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain
reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act
are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies.
We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised
accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result,
the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company
effective dates.
Additionally,
we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject
to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions
we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over
financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth
public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted
by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) regarding mandatory audit rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report
providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain
executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s
compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our
Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Pursuant
to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as
it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (our
principal executive officer and principal accounting/financial officer), Mr. Ajjarapu and Mr. Doss, respectively, we conducted an evaluation
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer
and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
The
significant factors known to us that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results are described
in the “Risk Factors” section of the Rule 424(b)(4) final prospectus for our Initial Public Offering as filed with
the SEC on September 16, 2021. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations
or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business
or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes from the risk factors
previously disclosed in our final prospectus for the Initial Public Offering, which are incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM
2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Unregistered
Sales
On
June 17, 2021, our Sponsor purchased 2,875,000 shares of our Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”),
for an aggregate price of $25,000. Our Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 375,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option
is not exercised in full by the underwriter, so that the Founder Shares will represent 20.0% of our issued and outstanding shares after
the Initial Public Offering. On September 17, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional
500,000 Units, and as a result 125,000 of the Class B common stock shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
On
September 17, 2021, our Sponsor purchased 5,261,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating
gross proceeds of $5.261 million. In connection with the partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option on September
17, 2021, we sold an additional 150,000 Private Placement Warrants which were purchased by our Sponsor, generating additional gross proceeds
of $0.15 million.
These
issuances were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. No underwriting discounts
or commissions were paid with respect to such sales.
Use
of Proceeds
On
September 17, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of
$100.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $6.7 million, inclusive of approximately $1.0 million in an underwriting
discount and $3.0 million in deferred underwriting commissions. On September 17, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment
option, pursuant to which we sold an additional 500,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of
approximately $5.0 million, and incurring additional offering costs of approximately $200 thousand in underwriting fees (inclusive of
approximately $150 thousand in deferred underwriting fees).
In
connection with the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Over-Allotment Units, we incurred offering costs of approximately $4.6 million,
inclusive of approximately $3.15 million in deferred underwriting commissions. Other incurred offering costs consisted principally of
preparation fees related to the Initial Public Offering. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred
portion, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, if consummated) and expenses associated
with the Initial Public Offering and sale of Over-Allotment Units, $107,100,000 of the net proceeds from our Initial Public Offering,
proceeds from the sale of Over-Allotment Units and certain of the proceeds from the Private Placement (totaling or $10.20 per Unit sold
in the Initial Public Offering, including the Over-Allotment Units) was placed in the Trust Account. The net proceeds of the Initial
Public Offering and certain proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants are held in the Trust Account and invested as described
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The
securities sold in the Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No.
333-258012). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on September 14, 2021.
No
payments for our expenses were made in the offering described above directly or indirectly to (i) any of our directors, officers or their
associates, (ii) any person(s) owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or (iii) any of our affiliates, except in connection
with the repayment of outstanding loans. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our offering as described
in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) related to the Initial Public Offering.
