Overview


We are a special purpose acquisition company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 18, 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. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location, although we are currently focusing our search for target businesses in the consumer industry. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

The issuance of additional shares of our stock in a business combination:





  ? may significantly reduce the equity interest of our stockholders;

  ? may subordinate the rights of holders of shares of common stock if we issue
    shares of preferred stock with rights senior to those afforded to our shares
    of common stock;

  ? will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our 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 most likely will also
    result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;
    and

  ? may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities.




                                       23




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 a
    business combination are insufficient to pay our debt obligations;

  ? acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made
    all principal and interest payments when due if the debt security contains
    covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or
    reserves and we breach any such covenant 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; and

  ? our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt
    security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional
    financing while such security is outstanding.




Results of Operations



We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through September 30, 2022, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below, and searching for a target business with which to complete a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the IPO. We incur 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net income of $5,719,568 and $13,374,625, respectively, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $686,865 and $1,014,364, respectively, and a fair value adjustment on derivative liabilities of $968,360 and $8,866,230, respectively, and forgiveness of debt of $4,593,750, offset by total operating costs of $411,802 and $972,559, respectively, and provision for income taxes for $117,605 and $127,160, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of $3,309,663 and $4,638,019, respectively, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $9,320 and $44,344, respectively, and a fair value adjustment on derivative liabilities of $3,448,467 and $5,143,432, respectively, offset by operating costs of $111,293 and $399,783, and franchise tax expense of $36,831 and $149,974, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On September 24, 2020, we consummated the IPO of 17,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $175,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of 6,150,000 Private Warrants to our Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $6,150,000.

Following the IPO and the sale of the Private Warrants, a total of $175,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $9,957,390 in offering costs, consisting of $3,500,000 of underwriting fees, $6,125,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $507,390 of other offering costs, of which $175,000 was offset with a credit paid by the Underwriter.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $21,565,725 in the Trust Account, which consisted of marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $20,575,725 (including $109,635 of interest income) consisting primarily of money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury Securities and $990,000 of Class B common stock. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through September 30, 2022, we had withdrawn $673,498 interest earned on the Trust Account.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our 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.





                                       24




As of September 30, 2022, we had cash of $1,436,262 held outside the 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.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $749,731. Net income of $13,374,625 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,014,364, a change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $8,866,230, forgiveness of debt of $4,593,750 and net increase of changes in operating assets and liabilities of $349,988.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $434,535. Net income of $4,638,019 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $44,344, a change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $5,143,432, and net increase of changes in operating assets and liabilities of $115,222.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. 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 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 warrants identical to the Private Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. 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 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 consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional equity securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.





Going Concern


In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB's Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-15, "Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern," management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by September 21, 2023, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after September 21, 2023. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2022.





                                       25





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 the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. We began incurring these fees on September 24, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $6,125,000. The deferred fee will be forfeited by the underwriters solely in the event that we fail to complete a Business Combination within the required time period, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

On August 22, 2022, UBS agreed to waive its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commission of $4,593,750 to which it became entitled upon completion of the Company's Initial Public Offering, subject to the consummation of the Transaction. As a result, the Company recognized $4,593,750 of income in relation to the reduction of the deferred underwriter fee in the accompanying condensed financial statements. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the deferred underwriting fee payable is $1,531,250 and $6,125,000, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the unaudited 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 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:





Warrant Liability



We account for the warrants issued in connection with our IPO in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Common stock subject to mandatory redemption 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. Changes in redemption value are reflected in additional paid in capital, or in the absence of additional capital, in accumulated deficit. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders' equity.

Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, 2,046,609 and 17,500,000 Class A common shares subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity (deficit) section of our condensed balance sheets.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants to purchase 14,900,000 shares of Class A common stock that were sold in the Initial Public Offering and the private placement in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the average market price of the Company's Class A common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was below the Warrants' $11.50 exercise price. As a result, diluted income (loss) per common share is the same as basic income (loss) per common share for the period presented.





Recent Accounting Standards


In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 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)" ("ASU 2020-06"), to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity's own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity's own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022. Adoption of the ASU 2020-06 did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management 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 unaudited condensed interim financial statements.
