We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from January 1, 2021 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for, the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur 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 September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $201,733, which consists of an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $3,510, interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $6,851, and interest income on the operating account of $13, offset by operating costs of $212,107.
For the period from January 1, 2021 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $275,247, which consists of an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $2,239, interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $7,698, and interest income on operating account of $13, offset by operating costs of $285,197.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On June 17, 2021, we completed the Initial Public Offering of 5,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $55,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 283,750 Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $2,837,500.
On June 29, 2021, in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, we consummated the sale of an additional 329,980 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $3,299,800. In addition, we also consummated the sale of an additional 8,250 Private Placement Units at $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $82,500.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $58,299,805 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $1,931,859 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $1,457,495 of underwriting fees and $474,364 of other costs.
For the period from January 1, 2021 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $547,680. Net loss of $275,247 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $7,698 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,239. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $262,496 of cash for operating activities.
As of September 30, 2021, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $58,309,742 consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through September 30, 2021, we have not withdrawn any interest earned from the Trust Account.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our 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.
