The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and our audited financial statements and related notes thereto as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2021, included in the 2021 Annual Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our initial business combination, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the 2021 Annual Report, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.





Overview


We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We completed our initial public offering in February 2021, and since that time, we have engaged in discussions with potential business combination target companies; we have not, however, as of yet, reached a definitive agreement with a specific target company with respect to an initial business combination with us. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using (i) cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placements of the private units, (ii) cash from a new financing involving the sale of our shares and/or other equity, (iii) cash from one or more debt financings, and/or (iv) issuance of shares to target company shareholders.

The issuance of additional ordinary shares in a business combination:

? may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in our initial public

offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions of the

Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on

a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares;

? may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares if preferred

shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A ordinary


   shares;



? could cause a change of control if a substantial number of our ordinary shares

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 Class A ordinary shares


   and/or warrants.




                                       2




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 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 security is payable on demand;

? our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security

contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the

debt security is issued and outstanding;

? our inability to pay dividends on our ordinary shares;

? 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 ordinary

shares 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.



As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at March 31, 2022 we had approximately $179 thousand of cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,197 thousand. Although we raised $115 million of gross proceeds, in the aggregate, from our initial public offering in February and March 2021, and additional $3.8 million of gross proceeds, in the aggregate, from our private placements consummated concurrently with the closings of our initial public offering, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial business combination or a related capital-raise will be successful.

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

We have not engaged in any revenue-generating operations to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, preparations for our initial public offering and, subsequent to our initial public offering, searching for, and due diligence related to, potential target companies with which to consummate a business combination transaction. We have not and will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on funds held in our trust account after our initial public offering. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the December 31, 2021 date of our audited financial statements contained in our Annual Report. After our initial public offering, which was consummated in February and March 2021, we have been incurring 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 related to our search for a target company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans.

In early 2021, prior to the completion of our initial public offering, our liquidity needs were satisfied from the availability of up to $300,000 in loans from our sponsor under an unsecured promissory note, under which we had initially borrowed $150,000 prior to December 31, 2020 and an additional $20,000 in February 2021. The total $170,000 balance owed under the note was repaid in March 2021 following the closings of our initial public offering.

At the time of our initial public offering in February and March 2021, we raised $116,200,000 of net proceeds from (i) the sale of units to the public in the offering, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $300,000 and underwriting commissions of $2,300,000 (but excluding an advisory fee of $4,025,000) that have been or will be payable to the representative of the underwriters for services to be performed for us in connection with (and subject to the consummation of) our initial business combination transaction, and (ii) the sale of private units for a purchase price of $3,800,000 in the aggregate. Of that $116,200,000 amount, $115,000,000 (including $4,025,000 in potential advisory fees to be payable to the representative of the underwriters for advisory services in connection with our initial business combination transaction) was deposited into a non-interest bearing trust account. The funds in the trust account are invested only in specified U.S. government treasury bills or in specified money market funds. The remaining $1.2 million was not placed in the trust account.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account (after reduction for payments to redeeming shareholders) including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and excluding potential fees to be payable to the underwriters for advisory services in connection with our initial business combination transaction), to fund our post- business combination company. We may withdraw from the trust interest to pay taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. To the extent that our ordinary shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, or if we are acquired as part of our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account (less any amounts paid out to redeeming shareholders) will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

Subsequent to our initial public offering, our working capital needs were initially satisfied primarily by the $1.2 million available to us initially outside our trust account. Subsequently, in August 2021, our sponsor agreed to make available to us up to $1,000,000, which is evidenced by a promissory note that we issued to our sponsor, and which is repayable upon the earlier of February 19, 2023 (the 24-month, liquidation deadline for our company) or our consummation of our initial business combination. Of the amounts available under that promissory note, we borrowed $300,000 in December 2021 and an additional $300,000 in January 2022. The remaining $400,000 is available to us under that note as of the current time.

We use these funds outside of the trust account primarily towards our primary liquidity requirements, consisting of identifying and evaluating target businesses, performing 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 of corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structuring, negotiating and completing a business combination, paying for administrative and support services, and paying taxes to the extent the interest earned on the trust account is not sufficient to pay our taxes. In addition, we use these funds for payment of legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements, including Nasdaq and other regulatory fees, and funds for working capital to cover miscellaneous expenses and reserves.

We may also use a portion of the funds outside of the 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 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.

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 may, but are not obligated to, loan us additional funds 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 of 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 (including the $1,000,000 of loans committed to by our sponsor under the August 2021 promissory note) may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private warrants (that are part of 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.

We believe that we will need to obtain additional funds in order to satisfy our liquidity needs in our pursuit of an initial business combination. While we intend to rely upon the remaining $400,000 available under the foregoing $1,000,000 promissory note, we do not believe that such amount will suffice to cover our working capital needs until our initial business combination. Our actual capital needs will depend on when our business combination is consummated.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully consummate an initial business combination.

It is likely that we will be obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial business combination, which will reduce the funds from the trust that become available to the surviving company of the business combination. In that case, we will likely need to issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with the business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. 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.





                                       5




If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate our trust account, which liquidation would be less than 12 months after the date of this Quarterly Report. That factor, together with our need for additional funds in order to fund operations until our initial business combination, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a "going concern". Please see the explanatory paragraph under the heading "Substantial Doubt about the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern" in the opinion of our independent auditor on our audited financial statements, which appears in Item 15 of our 2021 Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Estimates





Private Warrant Liability


Please refer to Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements to our condensed financial statements included in Item 1 for the method and level 3 inputs used for the measurement of the Private Warrant Liability.

The risk of exposure is estimated using a sensitivity analysis of potential changes in the significant unobservable inputs, primarily the volatility input that is the most susceptible to valuation risk, as well as observable inputs, e.g. the Company's publicly traded warrants.

An increase or decrease of 10% to the volatility input as of March 31, 2022 would result in an increase of $5.9 thousand or a decrease of $6.8 thousand, respectively, to the estimated fair value of the Company's total Private Warrant Liability balance. Furthermore, an increase or decrease of 10% to the publicly traded warrants' market price input as of March 31, 2022 would result in either an increase or decrease of $6.5 thousand to the estimated fair value of the Company's total Private Warrant Liability balance.
