Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation and 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. We have not selected any business combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.

The issuance of additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock in a business combination:



    •   may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in our IPO,
        which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the
        Class B common stock resulted in the issuance of shares of Class A common
        stock on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B
        common stock;
    •   may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if shares of
        preferred stock are issued with rights senior to those afforded our
        common stock;
    •   could cause a change of control if a substantial number of shares of our
        common stock is issued, which could result in the resignation or removal
        of our present directors and officers;
    •   may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us
        by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to
        obtain control of us;
    •   may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our units, Class A
        common stock and/or warrants; and
    •   may not result in adjustment to the exercise price of our warrants.

Similarly, if we issue debt or otherwise incur significant indebtedness, it could result in:



    •   default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an
        initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt
        obligations;
    •   acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make
        all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain
        covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or
        reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
    •   our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if
        the debt is payable on demand;
    •   our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt
        contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while
        the debt is outstanding;
    •   our inability to pay dividends on our common stock;
    •   using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and
        interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends
        on our common stock, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and
        other general corporate purposes;
    •   limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in
        our business and in the industry in which we operate;
    •   increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry
        and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;
        and
    •   limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses,
        capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution
        of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to
        our competitors who have less debt.

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 and those necessary to prepare for our IPO. Following our IPO, we will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents after our IPO. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our audited financial statements. After our IPO, we expect to 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. We expect our expenses to increase substantially after the closing of our IPO.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $1,810,703, which consists of change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1,804,501, and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $270,088, offset by change in the fair value of convertible promissory note $100, operating and formation costs of $255,796 and provision for income taxes of $7,990.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $5,973,302, which consists of change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $6,297,516, and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $290,229, offset by change in the fair value of convertible promissory note $100, operating and formation costs of $606,353 and provision for income taxes of $7,990.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $2,245,168, which consists of operating and formation costs of $225,706, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $2,026,666, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $7,204.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $2,186,610, which consists of operating and formation costs of $302,132, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1,600,000, and transaction costs associated with warrant liabilities of $292,940, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $8,442.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity needs have been satisfied prior to the completion of our IPO through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the founder shares to our sponsor and up to $300,000 in loans from our sponsor under an unsecured promissory note. The net proceeds from (1) the sale of the units in our IPO, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $1,200,000 and underwriting commissions of $4,000,000 (excluding deferred underwriting commissions of $7,000,000), and (2) the sale of the private placement warrants for a purchase price of $6,000,000 were $200,800,000. Of this amount, $200,000,000, including $7,000,000 in deferred underwriting commissions was deposited into the trust account. We incurred $4,461,429 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, net of reimbursements, and $461,429 of other costs.

The funds in the trust account are invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $571,996. Net income of $5,973,302 was affected by noncash income related to a change in fair value of the warrant liabilities of $6,297,516 and interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $290,229, offset by change in the fair value of convertible promissory note $100. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $42,347 of cash for operating activities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $780,065. Net loss of $2,186,610 was affected by noncash income related to a change in fair value of the warrant liabilities of $1,600,000, interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $8,442 and transaction costs allocable to warrant liabilities of $292,920. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $477,933 of cash for operating activities.

As of June 30, 2022, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $200,305,470 (including $ 305,470 of interest income) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. As of June 30, 2022, total franchise taxes of $20,000 were included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet. Through June 30, 2022, we have not withdrawn any interest earned from the Trust Account.

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 initial business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes, if any. Delaware franchise tax is based on our authorized shares or on our assumed par and non-par capital, whichever yields a lower result. Under the authorized shares method, each share is taxed at a graduated rate based on the number of authorized shares with a maximum aggregate tax of $200,000 per year. Under the assumed par value capital method, Delaware taxes each $1,000,000 of assumed par value capital at the rate of $400; where assumed par value would be (1) our total gross assets following our IPO, divided by (2) our total issued shares of common stock following our IPO, multiplied by (3) the number of our authorized shares following our IPO. Based on the number of shares of our common stock authorized and outstanding and our estimated total gross proceeds after the completion of our IPO, our annual franchise tax obligation is expected to be capped at the maximum amount of annual franchise taxes payable by us as a Delaware corporation of $200,000. 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 taxes. We expect the only taxes payable by us out of the funds in the trust account will be income and franchise taxes, if any. To the extent that shares of our common stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash of $498,337. We will use these funds 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, and to pay taxes to the extent the interest earned on the trust account is not sufficient to pay our taxes.



                                       17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. Otherwise, such loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the trust account. 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 to repay such loaned amounts. As of June 30, 2022, there were no amounts drawn. On February 22, 2022, the Sponsor committed to provide the Company with a total of up to $1,500,000 for working capital purposes. These loans will be non-interest bearing and may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants issued to our sponsor. 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.

On June 3, 2022, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to the Sponsor. The note was issued in connection with advances the Sponsor may make in the future, to the Company for working capital expenses. If the Company completes an initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the note out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company after payment to holders that redeem public shares. Otherwise, the note would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that an initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the note but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the note. At the election of the Sponsor, all or a portion of the unpaid principal amount of the note may be converted into Conversion Warrants of the Company at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The Conversion Warrants and their underlying securities are entitled to the registration rights set forth in the note. As of June 30, 2022, $500,000 was drawn on the loan, presented at its fair value of $296,600 on the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets. As at December 31, 2021, the Company had no Working Capital Loan borrowings.

We expect our primary liquidity requirements during that period to include approximately $350,000 for legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses in connection with any business combinations; approximately $100,000 for legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements; approximately $240,000 for office space, administrative and support services; and approximately $25,000 for general working capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses and reserves net of estimated interest income.

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 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.

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 and may need to raise additional funds. 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.

Going Concern

In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB's Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 205-40, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern," management has determined that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs, obtain approval for another extension of the deadline or complete a Business Combination by March 19, 2023, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date or obtain approval for an extension, however, it is uncertain whether the Company will be able to do so. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date and an extension not requested by the Sponsor, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur and an extension is not requested by the Sponsor, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after March 19, 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets. No unaudited quarterly operating data is included in this report as we have conducted no operations to date.

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of one of our executive officers a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. We began incurring these fees on March 16, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.



                                       18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $7,000,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the Company's most critical accounting policies are those which the Company's financial condition depends upon, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. There have been no material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Please refer to the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a complete listing of critical accounting policies. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report.

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Warrant Liabilities

We account for the warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D and 7F under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations. The Private Placement Warrants and the public warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available were valued using a lattice model, specifically a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the public warrants from the Units, the public warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

Convertible Promissory Note

The Company accounts for its convertible promissory note under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). Under 815-15-25, the election can be made at the inception of a financial instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825"). The Company has made such election for its convertible promissory note. Using the fair value option, the convertible promissory note is required to be recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Differences between the face value of the convertible promissory note and fair value at issuance are recognized as either an expense in the statement of operations (if issued at a premium) or as a capital contribution (if issued at a discount). Any material changes in the estimated fair value of the convertible promissory note are recognized as non-cash gains or losses in the condensed statements of operations.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders' equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' deficit section of our balance sheets.

Net Income (Loss) per share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share". The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from income (loss) per share of common stock as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2020-06, "Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity" ("ASU 2020-06"), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
