Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through September 30, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities. We are incurring expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing a Business Combination.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $5,705,354, which consists of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account of $902,750 and gain recognized on extinguishment of deferred underwriting commissions of $7,000,000, offset by a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1,206,319, a change in fair value of FPA of $409,888 and general and administrative expenses of $581,189.

On June 11, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000.

As of September 30, 2022, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $201,200,243. 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 and excluding deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
