Results
of Operations
Our
only activities from March 8, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to consummate
the IPO, 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 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.
For
the period from March 8, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, we had net loss of $181,695, which consisted of operating
costs of $183,619, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,924.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
On
November 23, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering of 17,391,200 of its units. Each Unit consists of one Class A
ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share, and one-half of one warrant, with each whole Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one
Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds
of $173,912,000.
Simultaneously
with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement of 7,032,580 warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private
Warrant, generating total proceeds of $7,032,580, to the Company’s sponsor, InFinT Capital LLC. The Private Warrants are identical
to the Warrants sold in the IPO.
On
November 23, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 764,262 Private Warrants in connection with the underwriter’s
exercise of its over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,608,680 Units for gross proceeds of $26,086,800. The Private Warrants
were sold at $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating additional gross proceeds of $764,262. Following the closing of the over-allotment
option, the Company generated total gross proceeds of $207,795,642 from the IPO and the Private Placement, of which the Company raised
$199,998,800 in the IPO, $7,796,842 in the Private Placement and of which $202,998,782 was placed in the Company’s trust account
established in connection with the IPO.
55
For
the period from March 8, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $(711,252). Net loss of $181,695
was offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,924. Changes
in operating assets and liabilities used $527,633 of cash for operating activities.
As
of December 31, 2021, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $203,000,706 consisting of securities held in a money
market fund and government bonds that invests in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes with a maturity of 185 days
or less. Through December 31, 2021, we did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account to pay our taxes. We intend to use substantially
all of the funds held in the Trust Account, to acquire a target business and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that
our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a Business Combination, the remaining funds held in the Trust
Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in
a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing,
research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’
fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our Business Combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account
were insufficient to cover such expenses.
As
of December 31, 2021, we have available to us $1,028,183 of cash on our operating account and working capital of $1,555,816. We
will use these funds primarily to find and evaluate target businesses, perform business, legal, and accounting 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 corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete
a business combination. The interest income earned on the investments in our trust account are unavailable to fund operating expenses.
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor,
or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working
Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation
of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation
of a Business Combination into additional Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. In the event that a Business Combination
does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds
held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.
We
will have until 12 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate our initial business combination. However, if we anticipate that
we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within 12 months, we may, by resolution of our board if requested by
our Sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to two times, each by an additional three months (for
a total of up to 18 months to complete a business combination), subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds into the trust account
as set out below. Pursuant to the terms of the trust agreement to be entered into between us and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, LLC, in order to extend the time available for us to consummate our initial business combination, our initial shareholders or
their affiliates or designees, upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the trust account for
each three-month extension, $2,999,982 ($0.15 per share in either case) on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, up to an
aggregate of $5,999,964, or approximately $0.30 per share. Any such payments would be made in the form of a loan. Any such loans will
be non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of our initial business combination. 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 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 may be convertible into private placement warrants of the post business combination entity at a price
of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Furthermore, the letter agreement with our initial Shareholders contains a provision
pursuant to which our Sponsor has agreed to waive its right to be repaid for such loans out of the funds held in the trust account in
the event that we do not complete a business combination. In the event that we receive notice from our Sponsor five days prior to the
applicable deadline of its wish for us to effect an extension, we intend to issue a press release announcing such intention at least
three days prior to the applicable deadline. In addition, we intend to issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline announcing
whether or not the funds had been timely deposited. Our Sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the trust account
to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination. If we choose to extend the period of time to consummate a business
combination as set forth herein, you will not have the ability to vote or redeem your shares in connection with either of the three-month
extensions. However, if we seek to complete a business combination during an extension period, investors will still be able to vote and
redeem their shares in connection with that business combination. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not borrow any amount from
Working Capital Loans.
56
Based
on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs
through the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or one year from this filing.
Off-Balance
Sheet Financing Arrangements
We
have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2021. We do not
participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable
interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered
into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other
entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual
Obligations
We
do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than an agreement
to pay our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. We began incurring
these fees on November 23, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination
and our liquidation.
In
connection with our initial business combination, we are obligated to pay our expenses relating thereto, including the deferred underwriting
commission payable to our underwriter in an amount equal to 3.0% of the total gross proceeds raised in the offering, or $5,999,964, upon
consummation of our initial business combination.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual
results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Class
A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption
The
Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “ Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity ”. Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are
measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either
within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s
control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s
Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control
and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2021, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible
redemption in the amount of $202,998,782 are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the
Company’s balance sheet.
Net
loss per ordinary share
The
Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per share is
computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary share outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary share
subject to forfeiture. At December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially,
be exercised or converted into ordinary share and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the
same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.
57
Recent
Accounting Standards
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect
on our financial statements.
