MORINGA ACQUISITION CORP

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operations:

 

a.Organization and General

 

Moringa Acquisition Corp (hereafter – the Company) is a blank check company, incorporated on September 24, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (hereafter – the Business Combination). The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

 

All activity for the period from September 24, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2022, relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) described below and its search for a target company. The Company generates interest income on proceeds held in the trust account derived from the Public Offering.

 

The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

b.Sponsor and Financing

 

The Company’s sponsor is Moringa Sponsor, L.P., a Cayman exempted limited partnership (which is referred to herein, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Moringa Sponsor (US) LP, a Delaware limited partnership, as the “Sponsor”).

 

The registration statement relating to the Company’s Public Offering was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 16, 2021. The initial stage of the Company’s Public Offering— the sale of 10,000,000 Units — closed on February 19, 2021 (hereafter – the Closing of the Public Offering). Upon that closing and the concurrent closing of the initial stage of the Private Placement (as defined below in Note 3). $100,000,000 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) (discussed in (c) below). On March 3, 2021, upon the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option for the Public Offering, the second stage of the Public Offering — the sale of 1,500,000 Units — closed. Upon that closing and the concurrent closing of the second stage of the Private Placement, an additional $15,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. The Company intends to finance its initial Business Combination with the net proceeds from the Public Offering and the Private Placement.

 

c.The Trust Account

 

The proceeds held in the Trust Account will be invested in money market funds registered under the Investment Company Act and compliant with Rule 2a-7 thereof that maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00.

 

The Company complies with the provisions of ASU 2016-18, under which changes in proceeds held in the Trust Account are accounted for as Changes in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments Held in a Trust Account in the Company’s Statements of Cash Flows.

MORINGA ACQUISITION CORP

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operations (continued):

 

d.Initial Business Combination

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the Private Placement are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an initial Business Combination. The initial Business Combination must occur with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on the income accrued in the Trust Account). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully consummate an initial Business Combination.

 

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, will provide its public shareholders the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. 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 $5,000,001 following such redemptions. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares and the related initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate initial Business Combination.

 

If the Company holds a shareholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an initial Business Combination, a public shareholder 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, calculated as of two days prior to the general meeting or commencement of the Company’s tender offer, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, the Company’s Public Class A ordinary shares are classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

 

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the Closing of the Public Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

MORINGA ACQUISITION CORP

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operations (continued):

 

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Class B ordinary shares (as described in Note 7) held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months of the Closing of the Public Offering or during any extended time that the Company has to consummate an initial Business Combination beyond 24 months as a result of a shareholder vote to amend its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors or officers acquire any Class A ordinary shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period.

 

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an initial Business Combination, the Company’s shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the ordinary shares. The Company’s shareholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the ordinary shares, except that the Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, under the circumstances, and, subject to the limitations, described herein

 

e.Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $179 thousand of cash and an accumulated deficit of $1,197 thousand. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standard Codification 205-40, “Going Concern”, the Company will need to obtain additional funds in order to satisfy its liquidity needs in its search for an Initial Business Combination. Since its inception date and through the issuance date of these financial statements, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through an initial capital injection from the Sponsor, followed by net Private Placement proceeds, as well as several withdrawals of the Sponsor promissory notes. Management has determined that it will need to continue to rely and is significantly dependent on the unwithdrawn amounts under the outstanding Sponsor promissory notes, as well as on future promissory notes or other forms of financial support (of which the Sponsor is not obligated to provide). Moreover, the Company has until February 19, 2023 (hereafter – the Mandatory Liquidation Date) to consummate an Initial Business Combination. If a business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. The Company intends to complete an Initial Business Combination before the Mandatory Liquidation Date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any business combination ahead of the Mandatory Liquidation Date, nor that it will be able to raise sufficient funds to complete an Initial Business Combination. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, for the subsequent twelve months following the issuance date of these condensed financial statements.

 

No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company fail to obtain financial support in its search for an Initial Business Combination, nor if it is required to liquidate after the Mandatory Liquidation Date.

MORINGA ACQUISITION CORP

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

a.Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q.

 

b.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 a 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 standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

 

This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible, because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

c.Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers as cash equivalents all short-term, highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

 

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company held its cash and cash equivalents in an SVB bank account, and its investments Held in Trust Account in Goldman Sachs money market funds. Money market funds are characterized as Level I investments within the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820.

d.Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption

 

As discussed in Note 1, all of the 11,500,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares sold as parts of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature. In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification 480-10-S99-3A “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities”, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. The Company has classified all of the shares sold under the Public Units as subject to possible redemption.

 

Immediately upon the Closing of the Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from the offering costs allocated to the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption.

 

As of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the shares of Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

 

   U.S. Dollars 
Gross proceeds  $115,000,000 
Less:     
Portion of offering costs attributable to Class A shares subject to possible redemption  $(2,551,880)
Plus:     
Accretion to redemption value  $2,551,880 
      
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption  $115,000,000 

 

e.Net loss per share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating net loss per each share – Class A ordinary share subject to possible redemption, non-redeemable Class A and Class B ordinary shares. Accretion associated with the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is excluded from Net Loss per Share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase up to 5,940,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares. The weighted average of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for both periods presented.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

 

f.Concentration of credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

 

g.Public Warrant

 

The Company applied the provisions of ASC 815-40 and classified its public warrants, issued as part of the Public Units as detailed in Note 3, as equity securities.

 

h.Private Warrant liability

 

The Company accounts for the warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification 815 (“ASC 815”), “Derivatives and Hedging”, under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Private Warrants (as defined in Note 3) has been estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton model.

 

i.Financial instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

j.Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

k.Offering Costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of the Accounting Standards Codification 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering”. The Company incurred offering costs in connection with its Public Offering of $334,345. These costs, together with the upfront underwriter discount, of $2,300,000 were allocated between the sale of the Public Units and the Private Units.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

 

Out of the total amount of offering costs, an amount of $7,599 was allocated to the Private Warrant Liability, and therefore charged as an expense

 

l.Income tax

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes (hereafter – ASC 740). ASC 740 prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value if it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as non-current in accordance with ASU 2015-17.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% (cumulative probability) likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits under taxes on income (tax benefit).

 

m.Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – PUBLIC OFFERING AND PRIVATE PLACEMENTS:

 

In the Public Offering, the Company issued and sold 11,500,000 units (including 1,500,000 units sold at a second closing pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full) at an offering price of $10.00 per unit (the “Units”). The Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (the representative of the underwriters) purchased, in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the two closings of the Public Offering (the “Private Placement”), an aggregate of 352,857 and 27,143 Units, respectively, at a price of $10.00 per Unit.

MORINGA ACQUISITION CORP

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 3 – PUBLIC OFFERING AND PRIVATE PLACEMENTS (continued):

 

Each Unit (both those sold in the Public Offering and in the Private Placement) consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value, and one-half of one warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share (each, a “Public Warrant” and a “Private Warrant”, and collectively, the “Warrants”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one whole Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants and only whole Warrants will trade. Each Warrant will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption (only in the case of the Warrants sold in the Public Offering, or the “Public Warrants”) or liquidation.

 

Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem them in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.

 

The Warrants included in the Units sold in the Private Placement (the “Private Warrants”) are identical to the Public Warrants except that the Private Warrants, for so long as they are held by the Sponsor, EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. or their respective affiliates: (1) will not be redeemable by the Company; (2) may not (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of those warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders thereof until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination; (3) may be exercised by the holders thereof on a cashless basis; and (4) they (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise thereof) are entitled to registration rights.

 

The Company paid an underwriting commission of 2.0% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering and the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment, or $2,300,000, in the aggregate, to the underwriters at the two closings of the Public Offering. Refer to Note 5 for more information regarding an additional fee payable to the underwriters upon the consummation of an Initial Business Combination.

 

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

 

a.Promissory Note

 

On December 9, 2020, the Company signed a promissory note, under which it could borrow up to a $300 thousand principal amount from the Sponsor. Amounts drawn by the Company under the note were to be used to cover finance costs and expenses related to its formation and capital raise.

 

The entire unpaid balance was payable on the earlier of (i) March 31, 2021, or (ii) the date of a capital raise (i.e., the closing of the Public Offering). Any drawn amounts could be prepaid at any time. The promissory note did not bear any interest on the principal amount outstanding thereunder.

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued):

 

The Company borrowed $170 thousand under the promissory note, $150 thousand prior to December 31, 2020 and an additional $20 thousand on February 2021. The total $170 thousand owed under the promissory note was repaid in March 2021, following the Closing of the Public Offering.

 

On August 9, 2021 the Company and the Sponsor have entered into an additional Promissory Note agreement (hereafter – the Second Promissory Note), according to which the Company may withdraw up to $1 million to fulfil its ongoing operational needs or preparations towards an Initial Business Combination.

 

The entire unpaid balance shall be payable on the earlier of (i) February 19, 2023, or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates its Initial Business Combination. Any drawn amounts could be prepaid at any time. The promissory note does not bear any interest on the principal amount outstanding thereunder.

 

On December 23, 2021, the Company borrowed $300 thousand under the promissory note.

 

On January 27, 2022 the Company borrowed an additional $300 thousand from the promissory note given by the Sponsor.

 

b.Administrative Services Agreement

 

On December 16, 2020, the Company signed an agreement with the Sponsor, under which the Company shall pay the Sponsor a fixed $10 thousand per month for office space, utilities and other administrative expenses. The monthly payments under this administrative services agreement commenced on the effective date of the registration statement for the Public Offering and will continue until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (ii) the Company’s liquidation.

Underwriters’ Deferred Discount

 

Under the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, the Company shall pay an additional fee (hereafter – the Deferred Discount) of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering (or $4,025,000) payable upon the Company’s completion of the initial Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes the Initial Business Combination.

 

NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

 

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price).

 

The fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Basis for Fair Value Measurement

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs to models are observable (including but not limited to quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit risk), either directly or indirectly;

 

Level 3: Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including the Management’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy:

 

   Level  March 31,
2022
   December 31,
2021
 
Assets:           
Money market funds held in Trust Account  1  $115,015,758   $115,006,372 
Liabilities:             
Private Warrant Liability  3  $65,151   $160,341

NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued):

 

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was determined using a binomial model to extract the market’s implied probability for an Initial Business Combination, using the Public Warrant’s market price. Once probability was extracted, a Black-Scholes-Merton model with Level 3 inputs was used to calculate the Private Warrants’ fair value. Inherent in a Black-Scholes-Merton model are assumptions related to expected life (term), expected stock price, volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of selected peer companies’ Class A ordinary shares that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

 

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements inputs:

 

   March 31,
2022
   December 31,
2021
 
Share price  $10.0   $10.0 
Strike price  $11.5   $11.5 
Volatility   50%   50%
Risk-free interest rate   2.42%   1.26%
Dividend yield   0.00%   0.00%

 

NOTE 7 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

 

a.Ordinary Shares

 

Class A Ordinary Shares

 

On November 20, 2020 the Company issued 100,000 Class A ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value each to designees of the Representative (hereafter – the Representative Shares) for a consideration equal to the par value of the shares. The Representative Shares are deemed to be underwriters’ compensation by FINRA pursuant to Rule 5110 of the FINRA Manual.

MORINGA ACQUISITION CORP

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 7 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued):

 

The Company accounted for the issuance of the Representative Shares as compensation expenses amounting to $860, with a corresponding credit to Additional Paid-In Capital, for the excess value over the consideration paid. The Company estimated the fair value of the issuance based upon the price of Class B Ordinary Shares that were issued to the Sponsor.

 

Pursuant to the Public Offering and the concurrent Private Placement that were each effected in two closings— on February 19, 2021 and March 3, 2021— the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 11,500,000 and 380,000 Class A ordinary shares as part of the Units sold in those respective transactions. The Units (which also included Warrants) were sold at a price of $10 per Unit, and for an aggregate consideration of $115 million and $3.8 million in the Public Offering and Private Placement, respectively. See Note 3 above for further information regarding those share issuances.

 

The Company classified its 11,500,000 Public Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity. The remaining 480,000 Private Class A ordinary shares were classified as permanent equity.

 

Class B Ordinary Shares

 

On November 20, 2020 the Company issued 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value each for a total consideration of $25 thousand to the Sponsor’s wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary. Out of the 2,875,00 Class B ordinary shares, up to 375,000 were subject to forfeiture if the underwriters were to not exercise their over-allotment in full or in part. Because the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full on March 3, 2021, that potential forfeiture did not occur.

 

Class B ordinary shares are convertible into non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares, on a one-for-one basis, at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder, or automatically on the day of the Business Combination. Class B ordinary shares also possess the sole right to vote for the election or removal of directors, until the consummation of an initial Business Combination.

 

b.Preferred shares

 

The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 Preferred Shares of $0.0001 par value each. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and our audited financial statements and related notes thereto as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2021, included in the 2021 Annual Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our initial business combination, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the 2021 Annual Report, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

 

Overview

 

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We completed our initial public offering in February 2021, and since that time, we have engaged in discussions with potential business combination target companies; we have not, however, as of yet, reached a definitive agreement with a specific target company with respect to an initial business combination with us. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using (i) cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placements of the private units, (ii) cash from a new financing involving the sale of our shares and/or other equity, (iii) cash from one or more debt financings, and/or (iv) issuance of shares to target company shareholders.

 

The issuance of additional ordinary shares in a business combination:

 

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in our initial public offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions of the Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares;

 

may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares if preferred shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A ordinary shares;

 

could cause a change of control if a substantial number of our ordinary shares 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 Class A ordinary shares and/or warrants.

 

2

 

 

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 an 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 security is payable on demand;

 

our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is issued and outstanding;

 

our inability to pay dividends on our ordinary shares;

 

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 ordinary shares 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.

 

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at March 31, 2022 we had approximately $179 thousand of cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,197 thousand. Although we raised $115 million of gross proceeds, in the aggregate, from our initial public offering in February and March 2021, and additional $3.8 million of gross proceeds, in the aggregate, from our private placements consummated concurrently with the closings of our initial public offering, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial business combination or a related capital-raise will be successful.

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

 

We have not engaged in any revenue-generating operations to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, preparations for our initial public offering and, subsequent to our initial public offering, searching for, and due diligence related to, potential target companies with which to consummate a business combination transaction. We have not and will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on funds held in our trust account after our initial public offering. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the December 31, 2021 date of our audited financial statements contained in our Annual Report. After our initial public offering, which was consummated in February and March 2021, we have been incurring 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 related to our search for a target company.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans.

 

In early 2021, prior to the completion of our initial public offering, our liquidity needs were satisfied from the availability of up to $300,000 in loans from our sponsor under an unsecured promissory note, under which we had initially borrowed $150,000 prior to December 31, 2020 and an additional $20,000 in February 2021. The total $170,000 balance owed under the note was repaid in March 2021 following the closings of our initial public offering.

 

At the time of our initial public offering in February and March 2021, we raised $116,200,000 of net proceeds from (i) the sale of units to the public in the offering, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $300,000 and underwriting commissions of $2,300,000 (but excluding an advisory fee of $4,025,000) that have been or will be payable to the representative of the underwriters for services to be performed for us in connection with (and subject to the consummation of) our initial business combination transaction, and (ii) the sale of private units for a purchase price of $3,800,000 in the aggregate. Of that $116,200,000 amount, $115,000,000 (including $4,025,000 in potential advisory fees to be payable to the representative of the underwriters for advisory services in connection with our initial business combination transaction) was deposited into a non-interest bearing trust account. The funds in the trust account are invested only in specified U.S. government treasury bills or in specified money market funds. The remaining $1.2 million was not placed in the trust account.

 

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account (after reduction for payments to redeeming shareholders) including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and excluding potential fees to be payable to the underwriters for advisory services in connection with our initial business combination transaction), to fund our post- business combination company. We may withdraw from the trust interest to pay taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. To the extent that our ordinary shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, or if we are acquired as part of our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account (less any amounts paid out to redeeming shareholders) will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

Subsequent to our initial public offering, our working capital needs were initially satisfied primarily by the $1.2 million available to us initially outside our trust account. Subsequently, in August 2021, our sponsor agreed to make available to us up to $1,000,000, which is evidenced by a promissory note that we issued to our sponsor, and which is repayable upon the earlier of February 19, 2023 (the 24-month, liquidation deadline for our company) or our consummation of our initial business combination. Of the amounts available under that promissory note, we borrowed $300,000 in December 2021 and an additional $300,000 in January 2022. The remaining $400,000 is available to us under that note as of the current time.

 

We use these funds outside of the trust account primarily towards our primary liquidity requirements, consisting of identifying and evaluating target businesses, performing 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 of corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structuring, negotiating and completing a business combination, paying for administrative and support services, and paying taxes to the extent the interest earned on the trust account is not sufficient to pay our taxes. In addition, we use these funds for payment of legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements, including Nasdaq and other regulatory fees, and funds for working capital to cover miscellaneous expenses and reserves.

 

We may also use a portion of the funds outside of the trust to pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into an agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision would be determined based on the terms of the specific business combination and the amount of our available funds at the time. Our forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise) could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.

 

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us additional funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside of 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 (including the $1,000,000 of loans committed to by our sponsor under the August 2021 promissory note) may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private warrants (that are part of the private units) issued to our sponsor. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor, as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.

  

We believe that we will need to obtain additional funds in order to satisfy our liquidity needs in our pursuit of an initial business combination. While we intend to rely upon the remaining $400,000 available under the foregoing $1,000,000 promissory note, we do not believe that such amount will suffice to cover our working capital needs until our initial business combination. Our actual capital needs will depend on when our business combination is consummated.

 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully consummate an initial business combination.

 

It is likely that we will be obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial business combination, which will reduce the funds from the trust that become available to the surviving company of the business combination. In that case, we will likely need to issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with the business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. In addition, following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate our trust account, which liquidation would be less than 12 months after the date of this Quarterly Report. That factor, together with our need for additional funds in order to fund operations until our initial business combination, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern”. Please see the explanatory paragraph under the heading “Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” in the opinion of our independent auditor on our audited financial statements, which appears in Item 15 of our 2021 Annual Report.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Private Warrant Liability

 

Please refer to Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements to our condensed financial statements included in Item 1 for the method and level 3 inputs used for the measurement of the Private Warrant Liability.

 

The risk of exposure is estimated using a sensitivity analysis of potential changes in the significant unobservable inputs, primarily the volatility input that is the most susceptible to valuation risk, as well as observable inputs, e.g. the Company's publicly traded warrants. 

 

An increase or decrease of 10% to the volatility input as of March 31, 2022 would result in an increase of $5.9 thousand or a decrease of $6.8 thousand, respectively, to the estimated fair value of the Company's total Private Warrant Liability balance. Furthermore, an increase or decrease of 10% to the publicly traded warrants' market price input as of March 31, 2022 would result in either an increase or decrease of $6.5 thousand to the estimated fair value of the Company's total Private Warrant Liability balance.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the private units held in the trust account will be invested in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act that maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure 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.

 

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon their evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2022 because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, our management has concluded that our control around the interpretation and accounting for certain complex features of our Class A ordinary shares and private placement warrants was not effectively designed or maintained. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of our audited financial statement as of March 3, 2021. Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of the warrant liability (for our private placement warrants), Class A ordinary shares and related accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We are diligently working to improve our internal control over financial reporting and to thereby remedy this material weakness

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations, as described in this Quarterly Report, include the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A, of our 2021 Annual Report. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to those risk factors, except as described below:

 

Our search for a business combination, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected by unfavorable macro-economic trends triggered by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic or by the ongoing invasion of the Ukraine by Russia.

 

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has adversely affected the economies and financial markets worldwide, and the business of any potential target business with which we consummate a business combination could be materially and adversely affected. Although the world has, in many regions, developed vaccines and other means that have enabled the resumption of routine daily life and the full re-opening of local and national economies, the pandemic has, in large part, triggered certain macro-economic trends that threaten the improved economic outlook achieved in its aftermath. Specifically, supply chain delays and rising shipping costs, along with significant inflationary pressures due to the infusion of money into circulation as part of a “loose” monetary policy and low interest rates designed to ease economic conditions during the pandemic, now threaten global economic prosperity. The extent to which these trends impact our search for a business combination depends on present and future developments in the industry in which we are searching for target companies, which developments are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

 

In a similar manner, Russia’s recent invasion of the Ukraine could also have an adverse effect on our ability to consummate a business combination transaction or on the operations of the target business with which we combine. That invasion may result in increased costs of compliance, restrictions on our target business’ ability to sell into specific regions, higher volatility in foreign currency exchange rates, increased use of less cost-efficient resources and negative impacts to our target business. The invasion may also cause a deterioration in general economic conditions, which may adversely impact our access to financing for the combined company upon the consummation of a business combination, thereby frustrating our ability to effect that combination.

 

If the disruptions posed by unfavorable macro-economic conditions triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine, or other matters of global concern continue for a further extensive period of time, our ability to consummate a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

 

On February 16, 2021, the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-252615) relating to our IPO was declared effective by the SEC. For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our IPO, see Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Liquidity and Capital Resources of this Form 10-Q. The use of net proceeds from our IPO described herein does not reflect a material change in the expected use of such proceeds as described in our final prospectus for the IPO.
