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. (together with its subsidiaries, “Chijet”), each of the referenced
holders of Chijet’s outstanding shares (collectively, the “ Sellers”), Chijet Motor Company, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Chijet (“Pubco”), and Chijet Motor (USA) Company, Inc., 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. On September 6, 2022,
the Business Combination Agreement was amended to extend the due diligence period until and ended
on September 20, 2022, which was subsequently extended to September 30, 2022 pursuant to the second amendment of the Business Combination
Agreement, dated September 16, 2022. On September 26, 2022, the Company terminated the Business Combination Agreement and
the Company is not obligated to pay any penalties pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement as a result of the termination.
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 entered 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.
16
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 common stock 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.
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 and since the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination and
activities in connection with the proposed of the business combination with Chijet, which was terminated on September 26, 2022. 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 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 related to a Business Combination. Our expenses increases substantially after the closing of the IPO.
For
the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $165,559 and $319,979, respectively, which consisted of operating
costs of $717,723 and $987,556, respectively, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $552,164
and $667,577, respectively.
For
the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $78,774 and $95,273, respectively, due solely to the operating
costs.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, we had cash of $514,673 and $877,099, respectively, total current liabilities of $1,026,513
and $536,712, respectively, and total current assets of $129,123,094 and $128,953,272, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, we had
working capital deficit of $331,863, a decrease of working capital of $987,556 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. The significant increase in accrued expenses as
of September 30, 2022 was in connection with the due diligence on Chijet. Cash and marketable securities held in a trust account increased
by $667,577 to $128,428,444 as of September 30, 2022 compared to $127,760,867 as of March 31, 2022. We
expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of a Business Combination after the termination of the business combination
with Chijet. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete the Business Combination will be successful.
For
the six months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities amounted to $362,426, mainly due to the net loss of $319,979,
plus the decrease in accrued expenses to related parties by $10,000, offset by the decrease in prepaid expenses by $135,329 and the increase
in accrued expenses by $499,801. Comparatively, cash of $173,596 used in operating activities during the six months ended September 30,
2021 was due to the net loss of $95,273, plus the increase in prepaid expenses by $37,500 and the decrease in accrued expenses to related
parties by $40,000 and accrued expenses by $823.
There
was no cash flow from investing activities and financing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2022.
There
was no cash flow from investing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2021. Cash flow used in financing activities was
repayment of $100 to due to related party during the same period.
As
of September 30, 2022, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $128,428,444 (including approximately unrealized
gain of $667,577 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.
18
As
of September 30, 2022, we have available cash of $514,673 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.
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 a 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.

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 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 September 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 entered into with our initial stockholders, our sponsor and I-Bankers on or prior to the closing
of the IPO, we are 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.
On
October 15, 2022, the Company issued two promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1,265,000 (collectively, the “Notes”),
to two affiliates of the Company’s Sponsor (collectively, the “Sponsor Affiliates”), in connection with the the extension
of the Combination Period from October 29, 2022 to January 29, 2023. The Notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the earlier
of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of the liquidation of the Company.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations; Quarterly Results
As
of September 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
Factors
That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations
Our
results of operations and our ability to complete a Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause
economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by,
among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest
rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including
resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in Ukraine. We cannot at this
time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively
impact our business and our ability to complete Business Combination.
