Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 21, 2020, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (a "Business Combination"). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") of 11,500,000 units (the "Units," which included the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit) and the sale of 4,188,889 warrants (the "Private Warrants") at a price of $0.75 per Private Warrant and 100,833 units (the "Placement Units" and, together with the Private Warrants, the "Private Securities"), our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.





Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through September 30, 2020 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the Initial Public Offering. We expect that we will 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 in connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.

For the period from August 21, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $1,040, which consisted of formation and operating costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2020, we had cash of $14,965. Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of common stock by the Sponsors and loans from one of our Sponsors, Globis SPAC LLC.

Subsequent to the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report, on December 15, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 Units, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 4,188,889 Private Warrants to the Sponsors at a price of $0.75 per Private Warrant and 100,833 Placement Units to the Sponsors at a price of $10.00 per Placement Units, generating gross proceeds of $4,150,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Securities, a total of $116,150,000 was placed in a trust account (the "Trust Account"), and we had $209,439 of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital purposes. We incurred $6,541,841 in transaction costs, including $2,300,000 of underwriting fees, $4,025,000 representing 402,500 shares of common stock issued, which the underwriters are entitled to receive upon the consummation of a Business Combination (the "equity participation shares") and $216,841 of other offering costs.

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, to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes and up to $100,000 of dissolution expenses, if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a 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.

We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account 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.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsors or an affiliate of our Sponsors or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required ("Working Capital Loans"). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. If we complete a Business Combination, we may repay the notes out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the notes, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. The notes may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $0.75 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Warrants.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business following our issuance of an unsecured convertible promissory note to Globis SPAC LLC, or its assigns or successors in interest, providing for borrowings from time to time of up to an aggregate of $1,000,000. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a 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 Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2020. 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.





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 Globis SPAC LLC a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, secretarial, and administrative support services provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on December 15, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination and the Company's liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to receive 402,500 equity participation shares upon the consummation of a Business Combination. The equity participation shares have been placed in escrow until the consummation of a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated, the equity participation shares will be forfeited by the underwriters. The fair value of the equity participation shares is estimated to be $4,025,000, based upon the offering price of the Units of $10.00 per Unit.





Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of condensed 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 condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Standards

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