Overview
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on August 21, 2020. We
were 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 (the "Business Combination"). We are an emerging growth
company and, as such, are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging
growth companies.
Our sponsor is Pine Island Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(the "Sponsor"). The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was
declared effective November 16, 2020. On November 19, 2020, we consummated our
Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (the "Units" and, with respect to
the Class A common stock included in the Units offered, the "Public Shares"), at
$10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring
offering costs of approximately $11.7 million, inclusive of $7.0 million in
deferred underwriting commissions. On November 20, 2020, the underwriters
partially exercised the over-allotment option and on November 24, 2020,
purchased an additional 1,838,800 Units (the "Over-Allotment Units"), generating
gross proceeds of approximately $18.4 million, incurring additional offering
costs of approximately $1.0 million in underwriting fees (inclusive of
approximately $644,000 in deferred underwriting fees) (the "Over-Allotment").
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated
the private placement ("Private Placement") of 4,000,000 warrants (each, a
"Private Placement Warrant" and collectively, the "Private Placement Warrants"),
at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with our Sponsor, generating
gross proceeds of $6.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the
Over-Allotment on November 24, 2020, we consummated the second closing of the
Private Placement, resulting in the purchase of an aggregate of an
additional 245,173 Private Placement Warrants by our Sponsor, generating gross
proceeds of approximately $368,000.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement on
November 19, 2020, $200.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the
sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement were
placed in a trust account ("Trust Account") located in the United States with
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only
in U.S. "government securities," within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"),
having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain
conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, which
invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us,
until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the
distribution of the Trust Account as described below. Upon the closing of the
Over-Allotment on November 24, 2020, an additional amount of approximately $18.4
million was deposited to the Trust Account, for a total of approximately $218.4
million.
19
We will only have 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or
November 19, 2022, (the "Combination Period") and our stockholders have not
amended the Certificate of Incorporation to extend such Combination Period, we
will (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as
promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter
subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at a
per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit
in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust
Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes
(less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the
number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely
extinguish Public Stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to
receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law,
and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject
to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors,
dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware
law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable
law.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity since inception through March 31, 2021, was in preparation
for an Initial Public Offering, and since our Initial Public Offering, our
activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial Business
Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and
completion of our initial Business Combination.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a net income of approximately
$4.2 million, which consisted of approximately $4.5 million in change in the
fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and approximately $32,000 of gain
on investments held in the Trust Account offset by approximately $270,000 of
general and administrative expenses and $50,000 of franchise tax expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2021, we had approximately $301,000 in our operating bank
account and a working capital of approximately $763,000 (excluding the tax
obligations of approximately $49,000 that may be paid using the investment
income earned in Trust Account).
Our liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a capital contribution
of $25,000 from our Sponsor to purchase the Founder Shares, a loan under a
promissory note from our Sponsor of approximately $105,000, and the net proceeds
from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. We
fully repaid the promissory note on November 19, 2020. In addition, in order to
finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our
officers, directors and Initial Stockholders may, but are not obligated to,
provide us Working Capital Loans. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020,
there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
Until the consummation of a Business Combination, we will be using the funds not
held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition
candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying
for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and
structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. We will need
to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from our
Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. Our officers,
directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to
time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole
discretion, to meet our working capital needs. Accordingly, we may not be able
to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, it
may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could
include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending
the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses.
We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on
commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through November 19,
2022. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that
might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations,
operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities,
other than the amounts due to our Sponsor pursuant to the Note.
Critical Accounting Policies
This management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results
of operations is based on our unaudited condensed financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these
unaudited condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our
unaudited condensed financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our
estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial
instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical
experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to
be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no
significant changes in our critical accounting policies as discussed in the
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A-1 filed with the SEC on June 30, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective,
accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as
defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
JOBS Act
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act") contains
provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for
qualifying public companies. We qualify as an "emerging growth company" and
under the JOBS Act are 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, the unaudited condensed
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 auditor'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 auditor's report
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 our Initial Public Offering or until we are no
longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.
