GIGINTERNATIONAL1, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Organization and General
GigInternational1, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 23, 2021 (date of inception) through June 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “IPO” or “Offering”), as described in Note 3, and identifying a target Business Combination, as described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
On May 18, 2021, the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-255234), as amended, relating to the Offering of the Company was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company concurrently entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) on May 18, 2021 to conduct the Offering, the closing of which was consummated on May 21, 2021 with the delivery of
Simultaneously with the closing of the Offering, the Company consummated the closing of a private placement sale (the “Private Placement”) of
On May 26, 2021, the Underwriters served to the Company a notice of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and on May 28, 2021, the Company sold
After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses paid, the net proceeds in the amount of $

hundred and eighty-five (185) days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations.
The Company incurred $
The Trust Account
The funds in the Trust Account have been invested only in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. The remaining proceeds from the Offering outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence expenses on acquisition targets and continuing general and administrative expenses.
The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of: (1) the completion of the Business Combination; (2) the redemption of
Business Combination
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination with (or acquisition of) a Target Business. As used herein, “Target Business” must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least
The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to have their shares redeemed by the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to commencement of the tender offer, including interest but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination or will allow stockholders to redeem their shares to the Company in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval unless a vote is required by the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $
7
of a Business Combination. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination.
If the Company holds a stockholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with a Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, such shares of common stock have been recorded at their redemption amount and classified as temporary equity. The amount held in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $
Additionally, there was $
The Company will have 15 months from May 21, 2021, the closing date of the Offering, to complete its initial Business Combination (or 21 months if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination two times by an additional three months each time (for a total of 6 months); provided that our Sponsor (or its designees) must deposit into the trust account funds equal to one percent (
In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per Public Unit.
Going Concern Consideration
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $
In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations, management has determined that the liquidity condition and the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a Business Combination by the liquidation date of August 21, 2022 (or up to February 21, 2023, if applicable), raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. On August 8, 2022,
8
the Company filed a proxy statement for a special meeting of stockholders to be held on August 19, 2022 to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from August 21, 2022 to February 21, 2023. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after August 21, 2022.
If the proceeds not held in the Trust Account become insufficient to allow the Company to operate for at least 12 months from the closing date of the Offering, assuming that a Business Combination is not consummated during that time, the Company intends to manage its cash flow through the timing and payment of expenses or, if necessary, raising additional funds from the Sponsor to ensure the proceeds not held in the Trust Account will be sufficient to allow it to operate for the lesser of 12 months or all available extension periods. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Over this time period, the Company intends to use these funds primarily for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any future interim period.
Emerging Growth Company
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. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised accounting standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock
The Company’s condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss include a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income per share, basic and diluted, for common stock subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income or loss on marketable securities held in the Trust Account, net of tax, by the weighted-average number of common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.
Net loss per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss, adjusted for income or loss on marketable securities attributable to common stock subject to possible redemption, net of tax, by the weighted-average number of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period, basic and diluted.
9
When calculating its diluted net loss per share, the Company has not considered the effect of (i) the incremental number of shares of common stock to settle warrants sold in the Offering and Private Placement, as calculated using the treasury stock method and (ii) the shares issued to Mr. Weightman subject to forfeiture representing
Reconciliation of Net Loss Per Common Share
In accordance with the two-class method, the Company’s net loss is adjusted for net income that is attributable to common stock subject to redemption, net of tax, as these shares only participate in the income of the Trust Account and not the losses of the Company. Accordingly, net loss per common share, basic and diluted, is calculated as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances that at times may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that
10
exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financial institutions.
Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account consisted of money market funds investing in U.S. Treasury Bills and cash.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet primarily due to their short-term nature.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Offering Costs
Offering costs in the amount of $
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) 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 the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation related to restricted stock awards is based on the fair value of common stock on the grant date. The shares underlying the Company’s restricted stock award to Mr. Weightman are subject to forfeiture if he resigns or is terminated for cause prior to the completion of the Business Combination. Therefore, the related stock-based compensation will be recognized upon the completion of a Business Combination, unless the related shares are forfeited prior to a Business Combination occurring.
11
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for warrants for shares of the Company’s common stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the condensed balance sheets. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense) on the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the common stock warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liability related to the common stock warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
Revision to Previously Reported Financial Statements
In preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, the Company concluded it should revise its condensed financial statements to classify all its public shares to common stock subject to possible redemption in temporary equity. In accordance with the SEC and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), paragraph 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company had previously classified a portion of its public shares in permanent equity, or total stockholders’ deficit. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter currently provides that the Company will not redeem shares of common stock issued in the Offering in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $
The impact of the revision to the unaudited condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 is a reclassification of $
12
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company assessed the potential impact of ASU 2020-06 and determined it would not have a material impact on the condensed financial statements as presented.
The Company 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 financial statements.

On May 18, 2021, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with its Founder, the Underwriters and Insiders. These holders will be entitled to make up to two demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. There will be no penalties associated with delays in registering the securities under the registration rights agreement.
Underwriters Agreement
The Company granted the Underwriters a

The Underwriters will use their commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Company with the following services: 1) originating and introducing the Company to potential targets for a Business Combination; 2) arranging institutional investor meetings on the Company’s behalf in connection with obtaining financing for the Business Combination; 3) assisting the Company in meeting its securities exchange listing requirements following the closing of the Offering; and 4) providing capital markets advice and liquidity to the Company following the closing of the Offering. If the Company uses its best efforts (and the Underwriters use commercially reasonable efforts) to obtain financing in private placements or privately negotiated transactions, but notwithstanding such efforts, the Company does not have sufficient cash necessary to consummate the Business Combination and pay the deferred underwriting commission, the Company and the Underwriters will cooperate in good faith to come to a mutually-satisfactory solution with respect to the payment of the deferred underwriting commission so as to ensure that the Company’s obligation to pay the deferred underwriting commission shall not impede the closing of the Business Combination.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
|
|
Level 1: |
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
|
|
Level 2: |
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
|
|
Level 3: |
Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and which are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The Company has determined that the Private Placement Warrants are subject to treatment as a liability, as the transfer of the warrants to anyone other than the purchasers or their permitted transferees would result in these warrants having substantially the same terms as the warrants issued in the Offering. The public warrants did not start trading separately until July 9, 2021, so the Company initially determined the fair value of each warrant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the use of significant unobservable market values. Accordingly, the Private Placement Warrants were initially classified as Level 3 financial instruments. After the public warrants started trading separately, the Company determined that the fair value of each Private Placement Warrant approximates the fair value of a public warrant. Accordingly, the Private Placement Warrants are valued upon observable data and are classified as Level 2 financial instruments.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Overview
We are a newly organized Private-to-Public Equity (PPE) company, also known as a blank check company or special purpose acquisition vehicle, incorporated in the State of Delaware and formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds from the sale of Public Units in our initial public offering (the “Offering” or “IPO”), the sale of the Private Placement Units to our Founder and Underwriters, the sale of common stock to our Founder, our common equity or any preferred equity that we may create in accordance with the terms of our charter documents, debt, or a combination of cash, common or preferred equity and debt. The Public Units sold in the Offering each consisted of one share of common stock, and one-half (1/2) of one redeemable warrant to purchase our common stock (no fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants). The Private Placement Units were substantially similar to the Public Units sold in the Offering, but for certain differences in the warrants included in each of them. For clarity, the warrants included in the Public Units are referred to herein as the “public warrants”, and the warrants included in the Private Placement Units are referred to herein as the “private warrants.”
19
The issuance of additional shares of common stock or the creation of one or more classes of preferred stock during our initial business combination:
|
|
• |
may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in the Offering who would not have pre-emption rights in respect of any such issue; |
|
|
• |
may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if the rights, preferences, designations and limitations attaching to the preferred shares are senior to those afforded our shares of common stock; |
|
|
• |
could cause a change in control if a substantial number of 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 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 shares of common stock. |
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 our 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 is payable on demand; |
|
|
• |
our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if any document governing such debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding; |
|
|
• |
our inability to pay dividends on our shares of common stock; |
|
|
• |
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 common stock 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. |
We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial business combination will be successful.
Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. For the period from February 23, 2021 (date of inception) through June 30, 2022, our only activities have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Offering and to search for a target business for the business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account at Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. in New York, New York with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, which was funded after the Offering to hold an amount of cash and marketable securities equal to that raised in the Offering. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our audited financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31,
20
2021 as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. 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 June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $306,001, which consisted of operating expenses of $641,210, a provision for income taxes of $81,385, that were partially offset by other income from the change in fair value of the warrant liability of $143,850 and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $272,744.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $382,539, which consisted of operating expenses of $304,833, a provision for income taxes of $240, and other expense from the change in fair value of the warrant liability of $78,270, that were partially offset by the interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $804.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $865,757, which consisted of operating expenses of $1,317,833, a provision for income taxes of $85,922, that were partially offset by other income from the change in fair value of the warrant liability of $249,340 and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $288,658.
For the period from February 23, 2021 (date of inception) through June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $418,258, which consisted of operating expenses of $340,552, a provision for income taxes of $240, and other expense from the change in fair value of the warrant liability of $78,270, that were partially offset by the interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $804.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the period from February 23, 2021 (date of inception) to December 31, 2021, the Founder purchased 5,210,000 Founder Shares, after giving effect to the forfeiture on May 28, 2021 of 525,000 Founder Shares due to the Underwriters partially exercising their over-allotment option on May 28, 2021, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or $0.0047985 per share. The Company also issued 5,000 Insider Shares to Mr. Weightman, its Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to the Insider Shares Grant Agreement dated May 18, 2021, between the Company and Mr. Weightman. The 5,000 shares granted to Mr. Weightman are subject to forfeiture and cancellation if he resigns or the services are terminated for cause prior to the completion of the business combination.
On May 28, 2021, the Underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option resulting in the forfeiture of 525,000 Founder Shares. On May 18, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units (the “Public Units”). On May 28, 2021, the Company completed the issuance of 900,000 additional Public Units as a result of the Underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $209,000,000.
As of June 30, 2022, we held cash and marketable securities in the amount of $211,245,761 (including $155,761 of interest earned) in the Trust Account. In addition, there was interest receivable to the Trust Account of $144,339. The marketable securities consisted of money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. Interest income earned from the funds held in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, tax relating to interest earned on the Trust Account totaled $85,922.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $712,555, consisting of a net loss of $865,757, a decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability of $249,340 and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $288,658, plus a decrease in accrued liabilities of $136,059 and a decrease in receivables from related party of $1,525, that were partially offset by increases in payable to related parties of $302,206, accounts payable of $81,885, other current liabilities of $81,523, and decreases in prepaid expenses of $260,079 and other long-term assets of $103,091.
For the period from February 23, 2021 (date of inception) to June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $1,597,890, consisting of a net loss of $418,258, increases in prepaid expenses of $869,505 and other long-term assets of $506,679, plus interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $804, that were partially offset by increases in the fair value of the warrant liability of $78,270, stock-based compensation of $94,700, payable to related parties of $6,882, accounts payable of $10,321, accrued liabilities of $6,943 and other current liabilities of $240.
21
There were no cash flows from investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022. For the period from February 23, 2021 (date of inception) to June 30, 2021, cash used in investing activities was $211,090,000, consisting of an investment of cash in Trust Account of $211,090,000.
There were no cash flows from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the period from February 23, 2021 (date of inception) through June 30, 2021, financing activities provided cash of $214,138,945 due to the proceeds from the sale of common stock to the Founder of $25,000, from the sale of Public Units, net of underwriting discounts paid, of $205,000,000, from the sale of Private Placement Units to the Founder of $6,500,000, from the sale of Private Placement Units to the Underwriters of $3,090,000, and from the borrowing from a related party of $125,000, that were partially offset by the payment of offering costs of $476,055 and the repayment of borrowing from a related party of $125,000.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable by us). We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. We estimate our annual franchise tax obligations to be approximately $200,000. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to affect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
As of June 30, 2022, we had cash of $162,880 held outside the Trust Account. We believe that the proceeds not held in the Trust Account may not be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 12 months. Since the closing of the IPO, we have used the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination. The Company intends to manage its cash flow through the timing and payment of expenses or, if necessary, raising additional funds from the Sponsor to ensure the proceeds not held in the Trust Account will be sufficient to allow it to operate for at least the next 12 months.
If our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial 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 initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. In order to finance operating and/or transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our Founder, executive officers, directors, or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds. In the event that our initial 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 units of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units.
Following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2022, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements. 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.
22
Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2022, we do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay our Founder a monthly fee of $30,000 for office space, administrative services and secretarial support. We began incurring these fees on May 19, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination or our liquidation.
On May 18, 2021, the Company entered into a Strategic Services Agreement with Mr. Weightman, its Chief Financial Officer, who holds 5,000 Insider Shares. Mr. Weightman is initially receiving $5,000 per month for his services and such amount could increase to up to $10,000 per month dependent upon the scope of services provided, as may be mutually agreed by the parties. The Company will pay Mr. Weightman for services rendered since May 18, 2021 and on a monthly basis thereafter for all services rendered after the consummation of the Offering.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 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:
Emerging Growth Company
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 an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, will adopt the new or revised accounting standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Our condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss include a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income per share, basic and diluted, for common stock subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income or loss on marketable securities held by the Trust Account, net of tax, by the weighted-average number of common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.
Net loss per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss, adjusted for income or loss on marketable securities attributable to common stock subject to possible redemption, net of tax, by the weighted-average number of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period, basic and diluted.
When calculating our diluted net loss per share, we have not considered the effect of (i) the incremental number of shares of common stock to settle warrants sold in the Offering and Private Placement, as calculated using the treasury stock method and (ii) the shares issued to Mr. Weightman subject to forfeiture representing 5,000 shares of common stock underlying a restricted stock award for the periods it was outstanding. Since we were in a net loss position during the period after deducting net income attributable to common stock subject to redemption, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for the period presented as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.
In accordance with the two-class method, our net loss is adjusted for net income that is attributable to common stock subject to redemption, net of tax, as these shares only participate in the income of the Trust Account and not our losses. Accordingly, net loss per common share, basic and diluted, is calculated as follows:

Common Stock subject to possible redemption
Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) 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. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of our condensed balance sheets.
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for warrants for shares of the Company’s common stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the condensed balance sheets. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense) on the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for
24
changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the common stock warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liability related to the common stock warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company assessed the potential impact of ASU 2020-06 and determined it would not have a material impact on the condensed financial statements as presented.
The Company 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 financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we supplement the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that was filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022 with the following risk factors. Any of these factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or herein could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Recent volatility in capital markets may affect our ability to obtaining financing for our initial business combination through sales of our shares of common stock or issuance of indebtedness.
With uncertainty in the capital markets and other factors, financing for our initial business combination may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of holders of our shares of common stock. Any debt financing secured by us could involve additional restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may limit the operations and growth of the surviving company of our initial business combination. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, we could face significant limitations on our ability to complete our initial business combination.
There are no assurances that the extension request will enable us to complete a business combination.
We recently filed a definitive proxy statement in connection with a special meeting to be held for the purpose of voting on: (i) a proposal to amend (the “Charter Amendment”) the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation giving the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination (the “Combination Period”) six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time, from August 21, 2022 to February 21, 2023 (i.e., for a period of time ending 21 months from the consummation of its IPO (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”) and (ii) a proposal to amend the Company’s investment management trust agreement, dated as of May 18, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, allowing the Company to extend the Combination Period six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time from August 21, 2022 to February 21, 2023 (the “Trust Amendment”) by depositing into the Trust Account for each one-month extension the lesser of: (x) $200,000 or (y) $0.05 per share multiplied by the number of public shares then outstanding (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”). The purpose of the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal is to allow the Company more time to complete its initial business combination and reduce the amount of funds to be deposited in the Trust Account to secure the extension of the Combination Period.
The Company’s IPO prospectus and charter provide that the Company has the right to extend the Combination Period two (2) times for an additional three (3) months each time from August 21, 2022 (i.e., 15 months from the consummation of the IPO) up to February 21, 2023 (i.e., 21 months from the consummation of the IPO). The only way to extend the Combination Period from August 21, 2022 without the need for a separate stockholder vote under the charter and Trust Agreement is for our initial stockholders or their affiliates or designees to deposit into the Trust Account $2,090,000 in the aggregate (i.e., $0.10 per issued and outstanding share of common stock issued in the IPO (the “public share”)), for each three-month extension, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. As a result, our board of directors has determined it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to extend the Combination Period and reduce the amount of funds to be deposited in the Trust Account to secure such extension.
Approving the extension of the Combination Period on new terms involves a number of risks. Even if such extension is approved, the Company can provide no assurances that we will identify and complete our initial business combination prior to the end of the extended Combination Period. Our ability to consummate any business
26
combination is dependent on a variety of factors, many of which are (as may be expected) beyond our control. We are required to offer stockholders the opportunity to redeem shares in connection with the Charter Amendment, and we will be required to offer stockholders redemption rights again in connection with any stockholder vote to approve a business combination. The fact that we will have separate redemption periods in connection with the extension of the Combination Period and a business combination vote could exacerbate these risks. Other than in connection with a redemption offer or liquidation, our stockholders may be unable to recover their investment except through sales of our shares on the open market. The price of our shares may be volatile, and there can be no assurance that stockholders will be able to dispose of our shares at favorable prices, or at all.
To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we may, at any time, instruct the trustee to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of securities in the Trust Account, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.
The funds in the Trust Account have, since our Offering, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we may, at any time, and we expect that we will, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation of the Company. Following such liquidation, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted. As a result, any decision to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.
In addition, even prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement, we may be deemed to be an investment company. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate the Company. Accordingly, we may determine, in our discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account at any time, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash, which would further reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Founder Shares
During the period from February 23, 2021 (date of inception) to December 31, 2021, the Founder purchased 5,210,000 Founder Shares, after giving effect to the forfeiture on May 28, 2021 of 525,000 Founder Shares due to the Underwriters partially exercising their over-allotment option on May 28, 2021, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or $0.0047985 per share. On May 28, 2021, the Founder forfeited 525,000 Founder Shares because the Underwriters did not exercise their over-allotment option in full. Founder Shares are identical to the common stock included in the public units sold in the IPO except that the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below.
The Founder Shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Each holder of Founder Shares is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
27
Private Placement
The Founder and the Underwriters purchased from the Company an aggregate of 650,000 and 309,000 Private Placement Units, respectively, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the completion of the Offering and a subsequent private placement that occurred simultaneously with the partial exercise of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one-half (1/2) of one warrant (a “Private Placement Warrants”). Each whole Private Placement Warrant will be exercisable for $11.50 per share, and the exercise price of the Private Placement Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances as described in Note 6 of the Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements. Unlike the warrants included in the Public Units sold in the IPO, if held by the original holder or its permitted transferees, the warrants included in the Private Placement Units are not redeemable by the Company and subject to certain limited exceptions, will be subject to transfer restrictions until one year following the consummation of the business combination. If the warrants included in the Private Placement Units are held by holders other than the initial holders or their permitted transferees, the warrants included in the Private Placement Units will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the IPO.
The Private Placement Units were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Founder and Underwriters are each an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
Insider Shares
The Company also issued 5,000 Insider Shares to Mr. Weightman, its Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to the Insider Shares Grant Agreement dated May 18, 2021, between the Company and Mr. Weightman. The 5,000 shares granted to Mr. Weightman are subject to forfeiture and cancellation if he resigns or the services are terminated for cause prior to the completion of the business combination.
The Company also issued 10,000 Insider Shares to Interest Solutions, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company and an affiliate of ICR, LLC, an investor relations firm providing services to the Company (“ICR”). The 10,000 Insider Shares granted to ICR are not subject to forfeiture. The grant date fair value of the 10,000 shares was expensed upon issuance.
Use of Proceeds
On May 18, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Company’s initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No 333-255234), in connection with the IPO of $200.0 million, effective.
The Company entered into an underwriting agreement on May 18, 2021, to conduct the IPO of 20,000,000 Public Units in the amount of $200.0 million in gross proceeds, with a 45-day option provided to the Underwriters to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Public Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any, in the amount of up to $30.0 million in additional gross proceeds. Each Public Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one-half (1/2) of one redeemable warrant (a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per full share.
On May 21, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 Public Units. On May 28, 2021, the Company completed the issuance of an additional 900,000 Public Units as a result of the Underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $209,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the closing of the Private Placement to the Company’s Founder of 650,000 Private Placement Units and to the Underwriters of 300,000 units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. On May 28, 2021, the Company completed the issuance of an additional 9,000 Private Placement Units to the Underwriters at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. The Private Placement generated aggregate gross proceeds of $9,590,000.
After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses paid, the total net proceeds in the amount of $196,000,000 from the sale of the Public Units, net proceeds in the amount of $6,000,000 from the sale of the Private Placement Units to the Founder and Underwriters, and additional proceeds in the amount of $9,090,000 from the sale of over-allotment units to the Underwriters, for a total of $211,090,000, were placed in a
28
trust account (the “Trust Account”) at Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. in New York, New York with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The proceeds held in the Trust Account may be invested by the trustee only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred and eighty-five (185) days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations.
The Company incurred $12,041,055 in transaction costs, consisting of $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $7,495,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $546,055 of offering costs, of which $70,000 remains in accounts payable as of June 30, 2022. Using a portion of the net proceeds of the IPO that was not placed in the Trust Account, we repaid promissory notes issued to our Founder, which bore the outstanding principal amount of $125,000. As of June 30, 2022, we had cash of $162,880 held outside the Trust Account for working capital purposes.
There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement as is described in the final prospectus included in the IPO Registration Statement.
