Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been related to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering, and identifying a target for a Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of earnings on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. Our expenses have increased substantially after the closing of our initial public offering 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 March 31, 2023, we had net income of $173,235. The net income is comprised of formation and operating costs of $118,394, legal and accounting services of $699,453, listing fees of $21,250, insurance expense of $115,995, administrative expenses of $198, and advertising and marketing expense of $137,237, offset by unrealized earnings on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $459,209 and earnings on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $806,553.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $229,189. The net loss is comprised of formation and operating costs of $18,863, legal and accounting services of $79,472, listing fees of $22,589, insurance expense of $115,995, administrative expenses of $1,285, and advertising and marketing expense of $2,765, offset by earnings on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $11,780.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
On December 13, 2021, we consummated the initial public offering of 11,500,000 units, at $10.00 per unit, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 units, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 6,850,000 warrants to our sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, generating gross proceeds of $6,850,000.
A total of $117,300,000 of the proceeds from the initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”).
Transaction costs of the initial public offering amounted to $6,822,078, consisting of $2,300,000 of underwriting discount, $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $497,078 of actual offering costs. Of these amounts, $302,696 was allocated to the public warrants and charged against additional paid-in capital and $6,519,382 were allocated to Class A ordinary shares reducing the initial carrying amount of such shares.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $424,633. Net income of $173,235 was decreased by $459,209 of unrealized earnings on marketable securities held in the Trust Account and increased by $710,607 relating to changes in operating assets and liabilities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $1,056,703. Net loss of $229,189 was adjusted by unrealized earnings on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $11,780 and $815,734 changes in operating assets and liabilities.
As of March 31, 2023, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $121,408,036 (including approximately $2,498,827 of earnings, $459,209 of unrealized earnings, and a $1,150,000 deposit for the Extension payment) consisting of securities held in a money market fund that invests in U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of 185 days or less.
As of March 31, 2023, we had cash of $110,646 held outside the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to complete the business combination with Refreshing.
