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 March 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 16, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “IPO”) described below and identifying target for initial Business Combination. 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 3 (the “Initial Public Offering”), and the sale of 300,000 Class A ordinary shares which is discussed in Note 4 (the “Private Placement”), at a price of $10.00 per share, in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the IPO On July 14, 2021, the Company consummated the Over-Allotment Closing of its sale of an additional 542,537 Class A Shares pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”). The Shares were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Share, generating gross proceeds of $5,425,370. Simultaneously with the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the Company sold an additional 10,851 private placement shares to the Sponsor, PAG Investment, LLC, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $108,510.

As of July 14, 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 March 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $20,663 and a working capital deficit of $55,862. As of March 31, 2022, 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 and the Business Combination.

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. On April 21, 2022, the Company received $500,000 from the Sponsor under an unsecured promissory note signed on April 14, 2022.

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.

Additionally, as a result of the military action commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in the country of Ukraine and related economic sanctions, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
