Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, the search for a target company for a Business Combination. On July 5, 2022, the Company entered into the Business Combination Agreement. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. Upon the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company will focus on ensuring that the transaction is consummated. We generate non-operating income in the form of earnings 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 searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.
