Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are not historical facts, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report including, without limitation, statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "seek," "may," "might," "plan," "possible," "potential," "should, "would" and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management's current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with theU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") onMarch 31, 2022 . The Company's securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of theSEC's website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Overview We are a newly organized Private-to-Public Equity (PPE) company, also known as a blank check company or special purpose acquisition vehicle, incorporated in theState of Delaware and formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds from the sale of Public Units in our initial public offering (the "Offering" or "IPO"), the sale of the Private Placement Units to our Founder and Underwriters, the sale of common stock to our Founder, our common equity or any preferred equity that we may create in accordance with the terms of our charter documents, debt, or a combination of cash, common or preferred equity and debt. The Public Units sold in the Offering each consisted of one share of common stock, and one-half (1/2) of one redeemable warrant to purchase our common stock (no fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants). The Private Placement Units were substantially similar to the Public Units sold in the Offering, but for certain differences in the warrants included in each of them. For clarity, the warrants included in the Public Units are referred to herein as the "public warrants", and the warrants included in the Private Placement Units are referred to herein as the "private warrants." 19 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The issuance of additional shares of common stock or the creation of one or more classes of preferred stock during our initial business combination:
• may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in the Offering who would not have pre-emption rights in respect of any such issue;
• may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if the rights,
preferences, designations and limitations attaching to the preferred
shares are senior to those afforded our shares of common stock;
• could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of
common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our
ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could
result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;
• may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us
by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to
obtain control of us; and
• may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our shares of common stock.
Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant indebtedness, it could result in:
• default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after our 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 any document
governing such debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding; • our inability to pay dividends on our shares of 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 if declared, 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.
We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial business combination will be successful.
Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. For the period fromFebruary 23, 2021 (date of inception) throughJune 30, 2022 , our only activities have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Offering and to search for a target business for the business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account atOppenheimer & Co., Inc. inNew York, New York withContinental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, which was funded after the Offering to hold an amount of cash and marketable securities equal to that raised in the Offering. 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 as of and for the period endedDecember 31 , 20 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the period fromFebruary 23, 2021 (date of inception) toDecember 31, 2021 , the Founder purchased 5,210,000 Founder Shares, after giving effect to the forfeiture onMay 28, 2021 of 525,000 Founder Shares due to the Underwriters partially exercising their over-allotment option onMay 28, 2021 , for an aggregate purchase price of$25,000 , or$0.0047985 per share. The Company also issued 5,000 Insider Shares toMr. Weightman , its Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to the Insider Shares Grant Agreement datedMay 18, 2021 , between the Company andMr. Weightman . The 5,000 shares granted toMr. Weightman are subject to forfeiture and cancellation if he resigns or the services are terminated for cause prior to the completion of the business combination. OnMay 28, 2021 , the Underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option resulting in the forfeiture of 525,000 Founder Shares. OnMay 18, 2021 , the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units (the "Public Units"). OnMay 28, 2021 , the Company completed the issuance of 900,000 additional Public Units as a result of the Underwriters' partial exercise of their over-allotment option. The Public Units were sold at a price of$10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of$209,000,000 . As ofJune 30, 2022 , we held cash and marketable securities in the amount of$211,245,761 (including$155,761 of interest earned) in the Trust Account. In addition, there was interest receivable to the Trust Account of$144,339 . The marketable securities consisted of money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 which invest only in directU.S. government obligations. Interest income earned from the funds held in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. For the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , tax relating to interest earned on the Trust Account totaled$85,922 . For the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , cash used in operating activities was$712,555 , consisting of a net loss of$865,757 , a decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability of$249,340 and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of$288,658 , plus a decrease in accrued liabilities of$136,059 and a decrease in receivables from related party of$1,525 , that were partially offset by increases in payable to related parties of$302,206 , accounts payable of$81,885 , other current liabilities of$81,523 , and decreases in prepaid expenses of$260,079 and other long-term assets of$103,091 . For the period fromFebruary 23, 2021 (date of inception) toJune 30, 2021 , cash used in operating activities was$1,597,890 , consisting of a net loss of$418,258 , increases in prepaid expenses of$869,505 and other long-term assets of$506,679 , plus interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of$804 , that were partially offset by increases in the fair value of the warrant liability of$78,270 , stock-based compensation of$94,700 , payable to related parties of$6,882 , accounts payable of$10,321 , accrued liabilities of$6,943 and other current liabilities of$240 . 21 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There were no cash flows from investing activities during the six months endedJune 30, 2022 . For the period fromFebruary 23, 2021 (date of inception) toJune 30, 2021 , cash used in investing activities was$211,090,000 , consisting of an investment of cash in Trust Account of$211,090,000 . There were no cash flows from financing activities during the six months endedJune 30, 2022 . During the period fromFebruary 23, 2021 (date of inception) throughJune 30, 2021 , financing activities provided cash of$214,138,945 due to the proceeds from the sale of common stock to the Founder of$25,000 , from the sale of Public Units, net of underwriting discounts paid, of$205,000,000 , from the sale of Private Placement Units to the Founder of$6,500,000 , from the sale of Private Placement Units to the Underwriters of$3,090,000 , and from the borrowing from a related party of$125,000 , that were partially offset by the payment of offering costs of$476,055 and the repayment of borrowing from a related party of$125,000 . 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 by us). We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. We estimate our annual franchise tax obligations to be approximately$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. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to affect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses. 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 initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses. As ofJune 30, 2022 , we had cash of$162,880 held outside the Trust Account. We believe that the proceeds not held in the Trust Account may not be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 12 months. Since the closing of the IPO, we have used the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination. The Company intends to manage its cash flow through the timing and payment of expenses or, if necessary, raising additional funds from the Sponsor to ensure the proceeds not held in the Trust Account will be sufficient to allow it to operate for at least the next 12 months. If our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our 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 consummate our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. In order to finance operating and/or transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our Founder, executive officers, directors, or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds. 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 units of the post-business combination entity at a price of$10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units.
Following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As ofJune 30, 2022 , we have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements. 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. 22 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contractual Obligations
As ofJune 30, 2022 , we do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay our Founder a monthly fee of$30,000 for office space, administrative services and secretarial support. We began incurring these fees onMay 19, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination or our liquidation. OnMay 18, 2021 , the Company entered into a Strategic Services Agreement withMr. Weightman , its Chief Financial Officer, who holds 5,000 Insider Shares.Mr. Weightman is initially receiving$5,000 per month for his services and such amount could increase to up to$10,000 per month dependent upon the scope of services provided, as may be mutually agreed by the parties. The Company will payMr. Weightman for services rendered sinceMay 18, 2021 and on a monthly basis thereafter for all services rendered after the consummation of the Offering.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America ("GAAP") 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:
Emerging Growth Company
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. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, will adopt the new or revised accounting standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Our condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss include a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income per share, basic and diluted, for common stock subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income or loss on marketable securities held by the Trust Account, net of tax, by the weighted-average number of common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance. Net loss per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss, adjusted for income or loss on marketable securities attributable to common stock subject to possible redemption, net of tax, by the weighted-average number of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period, basic and diluted. When calculating our diluted net loss per share, we have not considered the effect of (i) the incremental number of shares of common stock to settle warrants sold in the Offering and Private Placement, as calculated using the treasury stock method and (ii) the shares issued toMr. Weightman subject to forfeiture representing 5,000 shares of common stock underlying a restricted stock award for the periods it was outstanding. Since we were in a net loss position during the period after deducting net income attributable to common stock subject to redemption, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for the period presented as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. In accordance with the two-class method, our net loss is adjusted for net income that is attributable to common stock subject to redemption, net of tax, as these shares only participate in the income of the Trust Account and not our losses. Accordingly, net loss per common share, basic and diluted, is calculated as follows: 23 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Common Stock subject to possible redemption
Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) 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, as ofJune 30, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 , common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' deficit section of our condensed balance sheets.
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for warrants for shares of the Company's common stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the condensed balance sheets. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense) on the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for 24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the common stock warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liability related to the common stock warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
InAugust 2020 , theFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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 afterDecember 15, 2023 , including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company assessed the potential impact of ASU 2020-06 and determined it would not have a material impact on the condensed financial statements as presented.
The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
