including, without limitation, statements under this "Item 2. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives
of management for future operations, are forward- looking statements. When used
in this Report, words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect,"
"intend" and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management,
identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based

behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial
statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain
information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company
and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange,
asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business
combination with one or more businesses. Our efforts to identify a prospective
target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic
location. However, our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of
Incorporation provides that we shall not undertake our initial Business
Combination with any entity that is based in, located in or with its principal
business operations in China (including Hong Kong and Macau). We intend to
effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our
IPO and the sale of the private units, our shares, debt or a combination of
cash, shares and debt.
Our sponsor is Keyarch Global Sponsor Limited, a Cayman Islands limited
liability company. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are
subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination
Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up,
(ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not 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
income earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released
to us to pay our franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then
outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public
Shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further
liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as
promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the
approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, dissolve and
liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to
provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date.
Our only activities from April 23, 2021 (date of inception) to September 30,
2022 were organizational activities and those necessary to consummate the IPO,
described below. Following our IPO, we do not expect to generate any operating
revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We expect to
generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and
marketable securities held after the 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.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net profit of $341,706,
which consists of loss of $184,293 derived from general and administrative
expenses offset by income earned on investment held in Trust Account of $525,192
and bank interest income of $807.
18
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $10,431,
which consists of loss of $10,431 derived from general and administrative
expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net profit of $22,913,
which consists of loss of $677,176 derived from general and administrative
expenses offset by income earned on investment held in Trust Account of $699,084
and bank interest income of $1,005.
For the period from April 23, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, we
had a net loss of $11,632, which consists of loss of $11,632 derived from
general and administrative expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On January 27, 2022, we consummated our IPO of 10,000,000 units, at $10.00 per
Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing
of our IPO, we consummated the sale of 500,000 Private Placement Units at a
price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a Private Placement to the Sponsor
and EarlyBirdCapital, generating total gross proceeds of $5,000,000.
On February 8, 2022, the underwriters in our IPO purchased an additional
1,500,000 Units to exercise its over-allotment option in full at a purchase
price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $15,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the fully exercise of the over-allotment
option, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 45,000 Private
Placement Units to the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital, at a purchase price of
$10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $450,000.
Offering costs amounted to $3,471,734 consisting of $2,300,000 of underwriting
discount and $1,171,734 of other offering costs. During the nine month period
ended September 30, 2022, the Company received discount amounting to $131,420 on
outstanding offering costs included within accounts payable and accrued
expenses. This has been treated as a reversal of offering costs adjusted through
additional paid-in capital considering the related offering costs charged
against additional paid-in capital at the time of IPO.
Following the closing of our IPO and the sale of over-allotment units, an
aggregate of $116,150,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds and the sale
of the Private Placement Units was held in a Trust Account.
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 as may be required. Any such loans would be on
an interest-free basis and would be repaid only from funds held outside the
trust account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial
Business Combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into
units at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. These units
would be identical to the private units 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.
As of September 30, 2022, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account
of $116,849,084 consisting of securities held in a treasury trust fund that
invests in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes with a
maturity of 180 days or less. Income earned on the balance in the Trust Account
may be used by us to pay taxes. Through September 30, 2022, we did not withdraw
any income earned on the Trust Account to pay our taxes. We intend to use
substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, to acquire a target
business and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our
capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a Business
Combination, the remaining funds held in the Trust Account will be used as
working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working
capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or
expanding the target business' operations, for strategic acquisitions and for
marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds
could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders' fees which we had
incurred prior to the completion of our Business Combination if the funds
available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such
expenses.
19
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $255,200
and $9,168, respectively and working capital/(deficit) of $298,683 and
($918,810), respectively. The Company's liquidity needs prior to the
consummation of the IPO had been satisfied through proceeds from notes payable
and advances from related party and from the issuance of ordinary shares.
Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, the Company expects that it will need
additional capital to satisfy its liquidity needs beyond the net proceeds from
the consummation of the IPO and the proceeds held outside of the Trust Account
for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective
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 Initial
Business Combination. Although certain of the Company's initial shareholders,
officers and directors or their affiliates have committed to loan the Company
funds from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable
in their sole discretion, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive
such funds.
Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statement has been
prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the
Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statement does not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in
pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans. Management plans to address this
uncertainty during period leading up to the Initial Business Combination. The
Company cannot provide any assurance that its plans to raise capital or to
consummate an Initial Business Combination will be successful. Based on the
foregoing, management believes that the Company will not have sufficient working
capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the
consummation of the Initial Business Combination or one year from this filing.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered
off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2022. We do not participate
in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or
financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which
would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet
arrangements. 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.
