Note 1—Organization and Business Operation

Gobi Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on March 16, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the "Business Combination"). The Company has not selected any Business Combination target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target with respect to an initial Business Combination with it.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 16, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021 relates to the Company's formation and the initial public offering (the “IPO”) described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on investment from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company's Sponsor is PAG Investment, LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the "Sponsor").

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on June 28, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On July 1, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of 25,000,000 Class A ordinary shares at $10.00 per share, which is discussed in Note 4 (the "Initial Public Offering"), and the sale of 300,000 Class A ordinary shares which is discussed in Note 5 (the "Private Placement"), at a price of $10.00 per share, in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the IPO.

As of July 1, 2021, transaction costs amounted to $3,359,202 consisting of $1,000,000 of underwriting commissions, $1,750,000 of deferred underwriting commissions and $609,202 of other offering costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash of  $222,905 and a working capital of $247,921. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. The Company’s only activities since inception have been organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Company’s IPO.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor, officers, directors and their affiliates intend to loan the Company funds as may be required. On July 23, 2021, the Company received $1,000,000 from the Sponsor under an unsecured promissory note signed on July 19, 2021. On November 20, 2021, the Sponsor signed an agreement to provide $300,000 of loan to the Company as required.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company's financial position, results of its operations, closing of the initial public offering and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
