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. We intend to effectuate
our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Placement Warrants that occurred simultaneously
with the closing of the IPO, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. We have until October 29, 2022 (or April
29, 2023 if we extend the period to consummate a Business Combination by the full amount) to complete a Business Combination.
On
July 12, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”)
with Chijet Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (together with its subsidiaries, “Chijet”), each of the referenced holders
of Chijet’s outstanding shares (collectively, the “Sellers”), Chijet Motor Company, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted
company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Chijet (“Pubco”), and Chijet Motor (USA) Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation and
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”). Chijet indirectly holds an over 85% interest in Shandong Baoya New Energy
Vehicle Co., Ltd., a Chinese company (“Baoya”), which is a producer and manufacturer of electric vehicles. In addition, Chijet
indirectly holds an over 64% interest in FAW Jilin Automobile Co., Ltd., a Chinese company (“FAW Jilin”), which manufactures
and sells traditional fuel vehicles. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to herein as the
“Proposed Business Combination”.
16
Subject
to its terms and conditions, the Business Combination Agreement provides that Company and Chijet will become wholly-owned subsidiaries
of Pubco, a newly formed holding company. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
therein, at the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), (a) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company,
with the Company continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger”), and with holders
of Company securities receiving substantially equivalent securities of Pubco, and (b) immediately prior to the Merger, Pubco will acquire
all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Chijet (the “Purchased Shares”) from the Sellers in exchange for ordinary
shares of Pubco and Chijet shall surrender for no consideration its shares in Pubco, as described below, with Chijet likewise becoming
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Share Exchange”).
For
more information regarding the Proposed Business Combination, please refer to Note 12 to the financial statements included in Item 1
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The
Proposed Business Combination was not closed as of the date of filing this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q .
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 and since the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination and
activities in connection with the proposed acquisition of Chijet. We do not generate any operating revenues until after completion of
our initial business combination. We expect to 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 Chijet.
We expect our expenses to increase substantially after the closing of the IPO.
For
the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $154,420, which consisted of operating costs of $269,833, offset by interest
earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $115,413.
For
the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $16,499 due solely to the operating costs.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, we had cash of $707,977 and 877,099, respectively, total current liabilities of $561,198 and $536,712,
respectively, and total current assets of $ 128,823,338 and $128,953,272, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, we had working capital of
$385,860, a decrease of working capital of $269,833 as compared to March 31, 2022, primarily as a result of a decrease in cash and prepaid
expenses and an increase in total current liabilities. Cash and marketable securities held in a trust account increased by $115,413 to
$127,876,280 as of June 30, 2022 compared to $127,760,867 as of March 31, 2022. We
expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of the Proposed Business Combination with Chijet. We cannot assure you that
our plans to complete the Proposed Business Combination will be successful.
For
the three months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities amounted to $169,122, mainly due to the net loss of $154,420,
plus the decrease in accrued expenses to related parties by $15,000, offset by the decrease in prepaid expenses by $76,225 and increase
in accrued expenses by $39,486. Comparatively, cash of $2,252 used in operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2021
was due to the net loss of $16,499, offset by the increase in accrued expenses to related parties by $15,000.
There
was no cash flow from investing activities and financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
17
As
of June 30, 2022, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $127,876,280 (including approximately unrealized
gain of $111,280 generated since the inception), substantially all of which has been invested in U.S. treasury bills with a maturity
of 180 days or less. Interest income earned on the balance in the Trust Account may be available to us to pay taxes. 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 have available to us the $707,977 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 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 $400,000 for our portion of legal, accounting,
due diligence, travel and other expenses associated with structuring, negotiating and documenting successful business combinations; $50,000
for legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements; $75,000 for Nasdaq continued listing fees; $155,000 for working
capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses and reserves (including taxes net of anticipated interest income); and approximately
$20,000 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.
18
We
do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following the IPO in order to meet the expenditures required for conducting the
due diligence related to the Proposed Business Combination and operating our business during this process. However, if our estimates
of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination, including
the Proposed Business Combination, are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or we are unable to complete the Proposed Business
Combination, 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, 2023.
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 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.
19
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
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.
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. As
of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the loan payable to the Sponsor was $500,000.
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 June 30, 2022, 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.
20
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, (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.
