Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "could," "would," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "continue," or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other SEC filings.





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 intended to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

The Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the provisions of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, due to the Company's inability to consummate an initial Business Combination by October 8, 2022, the Liquidation Date. The Company will redeem all of the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any). There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless.

Additionally, the amended articles of incorporation state that the Company must wind up and dissolve if the Company is unable to complete its Business Combination within the Combination Period and no extension is exercised, subject to approval by the Company's board of directors and any remaining shareholders. The Company is seeking board approval to amend the articles of incorporation to continue the Company as it looks to complete its Business Combination, see below. There is no assurance the amendment to the articles of incorporation will be approved by the Company's board of directors and any remaining shareholders.





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, 2022 were organizational activities and those necessary to consummate our initial public offering and identifying a target company for an initial Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our business combination. 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 income of $88,005, which consists of formation and operating costs of $265,405 and provision for income taxes of $42,704, offset by bank interest income of $943 and trust interest income of $395,171.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $296,641, which consists of formation and operating costs of $778,280 and provision for income taxes of $42,704, offset by bank interest income of $1,066 and trust interest income of $523,277.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and for the period from February 11, 2021 (inception) to September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $24 and $582, which consists of formation costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2022, we had $297,974 in cash and a working capital deficit $292,708. Until the consummation of our initial public offering, our liquidity needs were satisfied through the receipt of $25,000 from our sale of the Founder Shares, and unsecured loans and advances in an aggregate of $118,710 from related parties.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $270,595. Net loss of $296,641 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $523,277. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $549,323 of cash used in operating activities.

For the period from February 11, 2021 (inception) to September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $194 and net loss of $582 was affected by formation cost paid by Sponsor of $388. There were no changes in operating assets and liabilities.

On October 8, 2021, we consummated our initial public offering of 8,625,000 units, including the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option to purchase 1,125,000 units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $86,250,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,518,750 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,518,750, in a private placement.

Upon completion of the IPO on February 1, 2021, transaction costs amounted to $5,174,429 consisting of $1,725,000 of underwriting commissions, $3,018,750 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $430,679 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of our initial public offering and the sale of over-allotment units, an aggregate of $87,543,750 from the net proceeds and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was held in a Trust Account.

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, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.





Going Concern


In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-15,"Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern," management has determined that the mandatory liquidation date and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a Business Combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company had until October 8, 2022 to consummate a Business Combination. The Company will be unable to consummate a Business Combination by the Liquidation Date and intends to dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after October 8, 2022. (see Note 9)





Risks and Uncertainties


Management is continuing to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that it could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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 Astro Aerospace Ltd., an affiliate of our sponsor, a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative services and deferred underwriters' commission of $3,018,750. We began incurring these fees on October 6, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of a business combination and our liquidation.





Critical Accounting Policies


The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with US 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 unaudited 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


Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.





Inflation


On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IR Act") was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. The IR Act applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any "PIPE" or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company's ability to complete a Business Combination.

At this time, it has been determined that none of the IR Act tax provisions have an impact to the Company's fiscal 2022 tax provision. The Company will continue to monitor for updates to the Company's business along with guidance issued with respect to the IR Act to determine whether any adjustments are needed to the Company's tax provision in future periods.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act"), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the "JOBS Act"), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, 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 a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, us, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
