Business context and reporting period
This is Motion Acquisition Corp.’s unaudited Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021—not an operating-company 10-Q filed by DocGo Inc. Motion was a blank-check company formed to complete a business combination and had not begun operations or generated revenue. It had agreed to merge with Ambulnz, Inc. dba DocGo under a March 8, 2021 merger agreement; completion remained subject to stockholder and regulatory approvals and other conditions.
Financial results and position
- Revenue and margins: No operating revenue was reported. Operating expenses were general and administrative costs of $245,345 for Q2 and $628,161 for the six months. Operating margin is not meaningful for this pre-combination SPAC.
- Net loss: $3.04 million for Q2 and $1.05 million for the six months. Q2 loss included a $2.80 million noncash loss from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities; the six-month warrant fair-value loss was $445,662. Trust investment income was $4,110 for Q2 and $21,124 for the six months.
- Cash flow: Six-month net cash used in operating activities was $678,235; $33,742 was provided by investing activities from interest released from the Trust Account. Cash declined $644,193 to $234,160.
- Liquidity: At June 30, cash was $234,160, working capital was approximately $293,000, and Trust Account investments were $115.0 million. Management said available working capital and borrowing capacity should meet needs through the earlier of a business combination or one year from the filing.
- Liabilities and equity: Current liabilities were $163,795. Other significant liabilities were $9.49 million of warrant liabilities and $4.03 million of deferred underwriting commissions, payable from the Trust Account if a business combination closes. No conventional long-term debt or working-capital loans were reported. Stockholders’ equity was $5.00 million; 9,678,938 Class A shares were classified as subject to possible redemption.
Changes and transaction details
No prior-year comparable income statement or cash-flow period is presented, so year-over-year operating comparisons are unavailable. From December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021, cash fell from $878,653 to $234,160, warrant liabilities rose from $9.04 million to $9.49 million, and the number of Class A shares subject to possible redemption declined from 9,784,208 to 9,678,938. The Q2 net loss was substantially affected by warrant remeasurement; the filing reports a smaller warrant fair-value loss for the six-month period.
The proposed DocGo transaction contemplated 83.6 million Class A shares for DocGo stockholders, up to 5.0 million additional earn-out shares, and a concurrent $125 million PIPE investment. After stated placement-agent fees, the PIPE was expected to contribute $120.625 million, alongside remaining Trust Account funds. The filing also disclosed an approximately $14.2 million M&A advisory fee payable from the Trust Account upon completion. Motion’s business-combination deadline was October 19, 2022, absent an extension.
Outlook, risks, and unusual items
- Management stated that the company would use operating cash to pay existing accounts payable and fund transaction costs, and that completion of the merger was not assured.
- If Motion did not complete a business combination by the deadline, it would redeem public shares and liquidate, subject to the charter and applicable law; warrants would expire worthless and receive no Trust Account distribution.
- Management said COVID-19 could negatively affect the healthcare industry in which DocGo operates, but the specific impact was not determinable. The financial statements included no related adjustments.
- Warrants were classified as liabilities and remeasured at fair value through earnings. The Q2 fair-value charge materially affected reported results; the filing says June 30 valuations used quoted Public Warrant prices for both public and private warrants.
- Disclosure controls and procedures were deemed ineffective as of June 30 because of a material weakness previously reported. The company said it had expanded its review process for complex securities accounting, but was still evaluating whether remediation was effective.
- The company reported no lease obligations, purchase commitments, or off-balance-sheet arrangements. It adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021, with no reported financial-statement impact.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Whether the DocGo merger and the $125 million PIPE closed, and the final transaction terms, approvals, and redemption levels.
- The actual funds available at closing after redemptions, deferred underwriting commissions, and the disclosed advisory fee.
- The status and valuation effects of warrant liabilities, including potential dilution and warrant exercise or redemption terms.
- Whether the previously identified material weakness was remediated and whether disclosure controls became effective.
- Whether operating cash and borrowing capacity proved sufficient to fund transaction and reporting costs through closing or the business-combination deadline.
