Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated
as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
On October 29, 2021, the Company
consummated its IPO of 12,650,000 Units at $10.00 per unit, which included 1,650,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the
Underwriters of their over-allotment option, and the private sale of an aggregate of 519,500 Units to its sponsor and I-Bankers at a purchase
price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $5,195,000 to the Company that closed simultaneously with the
closing of the IPO. The Company’s Units have been listed on the Nasdaq.
Transaction costs amounted to
$7,282,500 consisting of $2,530,000 in cash of underwriting commissions, $4,427,500 of business combination marketing fee, and $325,000
of other offering costs.
Following the closing of the IPO,
cash of $764,101 was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes. As of September 30, 2021, the Company
had available cash of $326,371 on its balance sheet and a working capital of $326,332.
We have not selected any specific
business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly,
with any business combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO
and the private placement of the private placement units, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business
combination (including pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of
the IPO or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or
a combination of the foregoing.

Table of Contents
The issuance of additional shares
in connection with an initial business combination to the owners of the target or other investors:
•
may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in the IPO, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B common stock resulted in the issuance of Class A shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B common stock;
•
may subordinate the rights of holders of our common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock;
•
could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock is 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 stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and
•
may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock and/or rights.
Similarly,
if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or the owners of a target, 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 outstanding;
•
our inability to pay dividends on our common stock;
•
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 common stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund 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;
•
limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and 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 September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, we had cash of $326,371 and $500,067, respectively, and deferred offering
costs of $75,000 and $37,500, respectively. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial business
combination plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial business combination will be successful.

Results of Operations
and Known Trends or Future Events
We have neither engaged
in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities and those
necessary to prepare for the IPO. Following the IPO, we will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial
business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents after the IPO.
There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of
our audited financial statements. After the IPO, we expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal,
financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as expenses as we conduct due diligence on prospective business combination
candidates. We expect our expenses to increase substantially after the closing of the IPO.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Prior to the completion
of the IPO, the Company lacked the liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be
one year from the issuance date of the financial statement. The Company has since competed its IPO at which time capital in excess of
the funds deposited in the Trust Account and/or used to fund offering expenses was released to the Company for general working capital
purposes. Accordingly, management has since re-evaluated the Company’s liquidity and financial condition and determined that sufficient
capital exists to sustain operations for at least one year from the date that the financial statement was issued, and therefore substantial
doubt has been alleviated.
Our liquidity needs
have been satisfied prior to the completion of the IPO through a capital contribution from our initial stockholders of $50,000 for
the founder shares and up to $500,000 in loans available from our sponsor under an unsecured promissory note. Pursuant to the full
exercise by the Underwriters of their over-allotment option, our net proceeds from (i) the sale of the units in the IPO, after
deducting offering expenses of approximately $500,000, underwriting commissions of $2,530,000, and (ii) the sale of the private
placement units for a purchase price of $5,195,000, was $128,665,000. Of this amount, is held in the trust account.
The proceeds held in the trust account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or
less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in
direct U.S. government treasury obligations. The remaining approximately $764,101 was not held in the trust account. In the event
that our offering expenses exceed our estimate of $500,000, we may fund such excess with funds not to be held in the trust account.
In such case, the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would decrease by a corresponding amount.
Conversely, in the event that the offering expenses are less than our estimate of $500,000, the amount of funds we intend to be held
outside the trust account would increase by a corresponding amount.
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 IPO, 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 IPO 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.
Prior to the completion
of our initial business combination, we will have available to us the approximately $764,101 of proceeds held outside the trust account.
We will use these funds to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform 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 corporate
documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete an initial business combination.
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 or certain of our officers and directors may, but
19
Table of Contents
are not obligated to, loan us 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 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 working capital loans may be convertible
into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued
165,000 shares of Class A common stock if $1,500,000 of notes were so converted since the 150,000 rights included in such units would
result in the issuance of 15,000 shares upon the closing of our business combination), at the option of the lender.
Such units would be identical
to the private placement units. The terms of such working capital loans by our sponsor or its affiliates, or our officers and directors,
if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. 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 expect our primary liquidity
requirements during that period to include approximately $250,000 for legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses associated
with structuring, negotiating and documenting successful business combinations; $100,000 for legal and accounting fees related to regulatory
reporting requirements; $75,000 for Nasdaq continued listing fees; $300,000 for director and officer liability insurance premiums; $115,000
for working capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses and reserves (including taxes net of anticipated interest income); and
approximately $60,000 as fees to our Chief Financial Officer.
These amounts are
estimates and may differ materially from our actual expenses. In addition, we could use a portion of the funds not being placed in
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 initial 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.
We do not believe we will
need to raise additional funds following the IPO in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our
estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination
are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial
business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because
we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial business combination, in which
case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. In addition, we intend to target businesses
larger than we could acquire with the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the private placement units, and may as a result be required
to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities
laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to
complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations
and liquidate the trust account. 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.
Controls and Procedures
We are not currently required
to maintain an effective system of internal controls as defined by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will be required to
comply with the internal control requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. Only in the event
that we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer would we be required to comply with the independent registered
public accounting firm attestation requirement. Further, for as long as we remain an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act,
we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other
20
Table of Contents
public companies that are
not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting
firm attestation requirement.
Prior to the closing of
the IPO, we have not completed an assessment, nor has our independent registered public accounting firm tested our systems, of internal
controls. We expect to assess the internal controls of our target business or businesses prior to the completion of our initial business
combination and, if necessary, to implement and test additional controls as we may determine are necessary in order to state that we maintain
an effective system of internal controls. A target business may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding
the adequacy of internal controls. Many small and mid-sized target businesses we may consider for our initial business combination may
have internal controls that need improvement in areas such as:
•
staffing for financial, accounting and external reporting areas, including segregation of duties;
•
reconciliation of accounts;
•
proper recording of expenses and liabilities in the period to which they relate;
•
evidence of internal review and approval of accounting transactions;
•
documentation of processes, assumptions and conclusions underlying significant estimates; and
•
documentation of accounting policies and procedures.
Because it will take time,
management involvement and perhaps outside resources to determine what internal control improvements are necessary for us to meet regulatory
requirements and market expectations for our operation of a target business, we may incur significant expense in meeting our public reporting
responsibilities, particularly in the areas of designing, enhancing, or remediating internal and disclosure controls. Doing so effectively
may also take longer than we expect, thus increasing our exposure to financial fraud or erroneous financing reporting.
Once our management’s
report on internal controls is complete, we will retain our independent registered public accounting firm to audit and render an opinion
on such report when required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The independent registered public accounting firm may identify
additional issues concerning a target business’s internal controls while performing their audit of internal control over financial
reporting.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
about Market Risk
The net proceeds of the
IPO and the sale of the private placement units held in the trust account will be invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity
of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act 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.
Related Party Transactions
In March 2021, our initial
stockholders purchased 2,875,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000, or approximately $0.017 per share. The number
of founder shares issued was determined based on the expectation that such founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares
upon completion of the IPO (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the private placement units or the representative
shares). The per share purchase price of the founder shares was determined by dividing the amount of cash contributed to the company by
the aggregate number of founder shares issued. In October 2021, we effected a 0.1 for 1 stock dividend for each share of Class B common
stock outstanding, resulting in our sponsor holding an aggregate of 3,162,500 founder shares (up to 412,500 shares of which are subject
to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised).
We pay Weixuan Luo, our
Chief Financial Officer, monthly fees of $5,000 for her services commencing on August 1, 2020. Upon completion of our initial business
combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. We will also issue to our officers and directors an aggregate
of 300,000 post business combination shares within 10 days following the business combination with the same lock-up restrictions as the
founder shares and same registration rights as our founder shares.
21
Table of Contents
Our sponsor, officers
and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities
on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit
committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates
and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement
of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
Prior to the consummation
of the IPO, our sponsor has agreed to loan us up to $500,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. These loans are non-interest
bearing, unsecured and are due upon completion of our initial business combination.
In addition, in order to
finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain
of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us 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 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 working capital loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit
(which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 165,000 shares of Class A common stock if $1,500,000 of notes were
so converted since the 150,000 rights included in such units would result in the issuance of 15,000 shares upon the closing of our business
combination), at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the private placement units. The terms of such working capital
loans by our sponsor or its affiliates, or our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist
with respect to such loans. 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.
Pursuant to a registration
rights agreement we will enter into with our initial stockholders, our sponsor and I-Bankers on or prior to the closing of the IPO, we
may be required to register certain securities for sale under the Securities Act. These holders, and holders of units issued upon conversion
of working capital loans, if any, are entitled under the registration rights agreement to make up to three demands that we register certain
of our securities held by them for sale under the Securities Act and to have the securities covered thereby registered for resale pursuant
to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders have the right to include their securities in other registration
statements filed by us. We will bear the costs and expenses of filing any such registration statements. See the section of this prospectus
entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments
and Contractual Obligations; Quarterly Results
As of September 30, 2021,
we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments
or contractual obligations. No unaudited quarterly operating data is included in this prospectus, as we have conducted no operations to
date.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the JOBS
Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying
public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new
or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay
the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the
relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements
may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Additionally, we are in
the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain
conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company”, we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not
be required to, among other things, (i) provide an independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation report on our
system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure
that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act,
22
Table of Contents
(iii) comply with any requirement that
may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the report of independent registered public accounting
firm providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose
certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of
the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion
of the IPO or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.
