Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company
and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share 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 our initial public offering and the private
placement of the private placement units, the proceeds of the sale of our
securities in connection with our initial business combination, our shares, debt
or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our
acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to
complete our initial business combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date.
Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, those
necessary to prepare for our initial public offering, and after the initial
public offering, identifying a target company for a business combination. We
will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial
business combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the
form of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account. We
incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial
reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence
expenses in connection with completing a business combination.
For the year ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $1,831,075, which
consists of general and administrative expenses of $780,432 and a change in fair
value of warrants of $1,071,323, offset by interest earned on marketable
securities held in the trust account of $20,680.
For the year ended June 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $99,861, which consists
of general and administrative expenses of $309,004, transaction costs associated
allocated to warrant liabilities of $89,670, and a realized loss on marketable
securities held in our trust account of $708,023, offset by the change in fair
value of warrant liabilities of $786,555, interest earned on marketable
securities held in the trust account of $220,239 and interest earned of $42.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On February 18, 2020, we consummated the initial public offering of 6,000,000
Units at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated
the sale of 232,500 private placement units to the sponsor at a price of $10.00
per unit, generating gross proceeds of $2,325,000.
On February 24, 2020, in connection with the underwriters' election to fully
exercise their over-allotment option, we consummated the sale of an additional
900,000 units at $10.00 per unit and the sale of an additional 18,000 private
placement units at $10.00 per private placement unit, generating total gross
proceeds of $9,180,000.
Following our initial public offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option
and the sale of the private placement units, a total of $69,000,000 was placed
in the trust account. We incurred $4,330,715 in transaction costs, including
$1,380,000 of underwriting fees, $2,415,000 of deferred underwriting fees and
$535,715 of other offering costs.

Table of Contents
For the year ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was
$558,841. Net loss of $1,831,075 was affected by interest earned on marketable
securities held in the trust account of $20,680, fees charged to trust account
of $48,575, change in fair value of warrants of $1,071,323 and changes in
operating assets and liabilities, which provided $173,016 of cash from operating
activities.
For the year ended June 30, 2020, cash used in operating activities was
$233,712. Net loss of $99,861 was impacted by the change in fair value of
warrant liabilities of $786,555, transaction costs allocated to warrant
liabilities of $89,670, interest earned on marketable securities held in the
trust account of $220,239, a realized loss on marketable securities held in our
trust account of $708,023, fees charged to trust account of $19,708, and changes
in operating assets and liabilities, which provided $55,542 of cash from
operating activities.
As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and marketable securities of $70,409,613 held
in the trust account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in
the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the
trust account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and excluding
deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our initial business combination.
To the extent that our ordinary shares 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.
As of June 30, 2021, we had cash of $256 outside of the trust account. We intend
to use the funds held outside the trust account primarily 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 our 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 loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per
unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the private
placement units.
On February 10, 2021, the period of time for the Company to consummate a
Business Combination was extended for an additional three-month period ending on
May 18, 2021, and, accordingly, $690,000 was deposited into the Trust Account.
The deposit was funded by a non-interest bearing unsecured convertible
promissory note from GCN. The note is repayable on or before November 18, 2021
(subject to the waiver against trust limitations) and may be converted into
shares of the Company or its successor entity at a price of $10.00 per share at
the option of the lender.
On May 13, 2021, the period of time for the Company to consummate a business
combination was extended for an additional three-month period ending on August
18, 2021, and, accordingly, $690,000 was deposited into the trust account. The
deposit was funded by a non-interest bearing unsecured convertible promissory
note from GCN. The note is repayable on or before November 18, 2021 (subject to
the waiver against trust limitations) and may be converted into shares of the
Company or its successor entity at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of
the lender.

During the preparation of the quarterly report for the quarter ended March 31,
2020, we determined that American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC, as the
trustee, and Morgan Stanley, as custodian, had not invested the trust account
funds in accordance with the trust agreement. Thereafter, we immediately took
steps to liquidate such investments and to reinvest the funds only in the types
of securities specified under the trust agreement (the date of such
reinvestment, May 5, 2020, is referred to herein as the "Reinvestment Date"). As
of March 31, 2020, we had an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in
the trust account of $1,151,591 (including principal and interest). Between
March 31, 2020 and the Reinvestment Date, we recouped part of the losses and on
the Reinvestment Date we had an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in
the trust account of $565,000 (the "Shortfall"). The Shortfall represents the
difference between the aggregate amount of the funds in the trust account as of
the Reinvestment Date and the amount that would have been in the trust account
on the Reinvestment Date had the funds in the trust account always been invested
pursuant
21
Table of Contents
to the requirements set forth in the trust agreement. To remedy the issue, and
for no additional consideration, on May 14, 2020 the sponsor funded the trust
account in the amount of the Shortfall. Since the amount of the Shortfall funded
by the Sponsor is not required to be repaid by us, we recorded this amount as a
credit to additional paid in capital.
We believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the
expenditures required for operating our business. 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.
Going Concern
Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation date of November 18,
2021 and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.
The Company's management has determined that it is in the best interests of the
Company to seek an extension of the amount of time that the Company has to
complete a business combination and have the Company's shareholders approve the
amendment of the Company's amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of
Association to allow for additional time to consummate a business combination.
The Company plans to hold a meeting on or before November 18, 2021 to amend, by
way of special resolution, the Company's amended and restated Memorandum and
Articles of Association to extend the time by which the Company has to
consummate a business combination.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered
off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 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, and since April 2020, an affiliate of our Sponsor a monthly fee of
$10,000 for office space, administrative and support services to us. We began
incurring these fees on February 18, 2020 and will continue to incur these
fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of our initial business
combination and our liquidation.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of
the initial public offering, or $2,415,000. The deferred fee will be paid in
cash upon the closing of a business combination from the amounts held in the
trust account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
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:
Warrant Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow,
market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial
instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such
instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and
Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The Company accounts for the public warrants and private
placement warrants (together, the "Warrants") in accordance with the guidance
contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for
equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify
the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants to fair
value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at
each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair
22
Table of Contents
value is recognized in our statement of operations. The private placement
warrants and the public warrants for periods where no observable traded price
was available are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. For periods subsequent
to the detachment of the public warrants from the units, the public warrant
quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in
accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic
480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Class A ordinary shares subject to
mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at
fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares
that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder
or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely
within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times,
ordinary shares are classified as shareholders' equity. Our Class A ordinary
shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of
our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly,
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as
temporary equity, outside of the shareholders' equity section of our interim
balance sheets.
Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A ordinary shares
subject to redemption, the Company also revised its earnings per share
calculation to allocate net income (loss) evenly to Class A and Class B ordinary
shares. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely
outcome, in which case, both classes of ordinary shares share pro rata in the
income (loss) of the Company. The impact of this adjustment is considered to be
immaterial.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and
Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in
Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) ("ASU 2020-06") to simplify accounting for
certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that
require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from
convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance
pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity's own equity. The
new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and
freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity's own
equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including
the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments.
ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or
modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January
1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06
would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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.
