As indicated in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, as of September 30, 2022 we had approximately $912,000 of cash and approximately $1,001,000 of working capital. Further, we expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.
Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events
Our entire activity from February 9, 2021 (inception) through October 25, 2021, was in preparation for a Public Offering, and since our Public Offering through September 30, 2022, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of approximately $550,000 and $8,497,000, respectively, which consisted of an approximately $(205,000) and $7,790,000, respectively, in change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, and approximately $921,000 and 1,217,000, respectively, of interest income on investments held in Trust Account, partly offset by approximately $166,000 and $509,000, respectively, of loss from operations. The loss from operations consists primarily of our costs of operating as a public company, as well as costs of searching for a business combination.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the period from February 9, 2021 (inception) to September 30, 2021, our net loss and loss from operations was $37,000 and $91,000, respectively, consisting primarily of formation costs since our activities were primarily devoted or organizational activities and those activities necessary to preparation for our Public Offering.
As discussed further in Note 5 to the financial statements (and below), the Company accounts for its outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as derivative liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements. As a result, the Company is required to measure the fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants at the end of each reporting period and recognize changes in the fair value from the prior period in the Company’s operating results for each current period.
In addition, since we are organized as an exempt company in the Cayman Islands we are not subject to income tax in either the Cayman Islands or the United States.
We have entered into an administrative services agreement pursuant to which we pay our Sponsor or an affiliate thereof $10,000 per month (which is a portion of the amounts referenced in the immediately preceding sentence) for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of our management team as well as the services to be provided by one or more investment professionals, creation and maintenance of our website, and miscellaneous additional services and other expenses and obligations of our Sponsor. Furthermore, we may enter into consulting arrangements directly or indirectly with individuals (who will not be our executive officers) to provide similar services.
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company and/or a target company’s financial position and results of its operations, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Liquidity and Going Concern
Our liquidity needs were satisfied prior to the completion of the Public Offering through (i) $25,000 paid by our Sponsor to cover certain of our offering and formation costs in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares to our Sponsor and (ii) the receipt of loans to us of up to $300,000 by our Sponsor under an unsecured promissory note. Through closing of the Public Offering on October 25, 2021 we borrowed an aggregate of $240,000 and upon closing of the Public Offering, the entire balance of $240,000 was repaid.
