Management has determined that the possibility that the Company may be unsuccessful in consummating an initial Business Combination within 15 months (or up to 21 months if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination for total payment value of $2,000,000) from the closing of the IPO, and thereby be required to cease all operations, redeem the public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve, raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date these financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management has determined that the Company has funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the consummation of an initial Business Combination or the winding up of the Company as stipulated in the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $623,914, which was attributable to cash used to fund the net income of $309,105, adjusted for net non-cash income of $720,480, and $212,539 of cash used to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. For the period from February 18, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021, which was attributable to cash used to fund the net loss of $395, partially offset by $370 of cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in investing activities was $102,000,000, which was attributable to the investment of cash in the Trust Account. For the period from February 18, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021, there was no net cash provided by investing activities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash provided by financing activities was $103,286,603, which was primarily attributable to proceeds of $106,000,000 from the IPO and private placement, partially offset by the payment of offering costs of $2,678,397 and the net repayment of a note payable to the Company’s chief financial officer in the amount of $35,000. For the period from February 18, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021, there was $9,550 of cash provided by financing activities, which was attributable to $25,000 of proceeds from the issuance of founder shares to the sponsor, partially offset by the payment of offering costs of $15,450.
On February 15, 2022, we consummated our initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 10,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-half of one redeemable public warrant of the Company, with each whole public warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in our registration statement on Form S-1, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 6, 2022, as later amended (File No. 333-262042). The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $100,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and in a second closing on February 28, 2022, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 6,000,000 private placement warrants to the sponsor and certain initial stockholders, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $6,000,000.
The net proceeds from the IPO, together with certain of the proceeds from the private sale of the private placement warrants, $102,000,000 in the aggregate, were placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account to complete our initial business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay franchise and income taxes. We estimate our annual franchise tax obligations, based on the number of shares of our common stock authorized and outstanding after the completion of the offering, to be $200,000, which is the maximum amount of annual franchise taxes payable by us as a Delaware corporation per annum, which we may pay from funds from the offering held outside of the trust account or from interest earned on the funds held in our trust account and released to us for this purpose. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. We expect the interest earned on the amount in the trust account will be sufficient to pay our income taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial 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. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial business combination will be successful.
