Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2021, we had cash of approximately $0.6 million and working capital of approximately $0.6 million.
Our liquidity needs through the Initial Public Offering had been satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover certain offering costs on our behalf in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares and the Performance Shares (as defined in Note 4), the loan under the Note from the Sponsor of approximately $148,000 (as defined in Note 4) to us, and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. We fully repaid the Note on December 15, 2020 and borrowing is no longer available. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Partnering Transaction, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans (see Note 4). As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
Based on the foregoing, our management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Partnering Transaction or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Partnering Transaction candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Partnering Transaction.
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of its operations and search for a partner candidate company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2014-15,
“Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we have until December 14, 2022 (or March 14, 2023, if we execute a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for the Partnering Transaction by December 14, 2022) to consummate a Partnering Transaction. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Partnering Transaction by this time. If a Partnering Transaction is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Partnering Transaction not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises 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 December 14, 2022.
Our entire activity since inception up to September 30, 2021 was in preparation for our Initial Public Offering, and since our Initial Public Offering, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective Partnering Transaction. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Partnering Transaction.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of approximately $2.4 million, which consisted of approximately $2.7 million gain in change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and gain on investment held in Trust Account of approximately $16,000, partially offset by approximately $140,000 in general and administrative expenses, $60,000 in general and administrative expenses – related party, and approximately $50,000 in franchise tax expense.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of approximately $9.3 million, which consisted of approximately $10.1 million gain in change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and gain on investment held in Trust Account of approximately $29,000, partially offset by approximately $519,000 in general and administrative expenses, $183,000 in general and administrative expenses – related party, and approximately $148,000 in franchise tax expense.
For the period from September 11, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $5,000 which consisted of general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were comprised of professional fees.
We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay Administrative Services Agreement fees to our Sponsor that total $20,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of our management team. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $60,000 and $180,000 in expenses in connection with such services, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies
This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:
