At March 31, 2023, total assets were $12,366, all cash. Current liabilities were $147,391, including $15,891 of accounts payable and accrued expenses and a $131,500 stockholder note. The resulting working-capital deficit was $135,025. Total stockholders’ deficit was $135,025. No revenue-based margins are meaningful because the company had no revenue.
Changes Versus Prior Comparable Period
Quarterly net loss increased by $3,594, or approximately 46%, from Q1 2022, reflecting higher general and administrative expenses. Operating cash outflow decreased by $3,797. Financing proceeds from the stockholder note rose from $9,980 to $17,500. Cash at March 31, 2023 was $12,366, compared with $863 a year earlier and $457 at December 31, 2022.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- Management estimated approximately $40,000 in legal, accounting, audit, and other professional fees over the next 12 months, excluding unquantifiable business-combination costs.
- Management reported substantial doubt about Patricia’s ability to continue as a going concern. It plans to fund operations through additional borrowing under the stockholder note, but the stockholder is not obligated to advance funds and no other funding commitment is in place.
- The $131,500 note is payable upon consummation of a qualifying business combination or other transaction ending shell status. It generally bears no interest, but after an event of default it accrues interest at 18% annually beginning five days after the default date.
- The company’s plans depend on finding and completing a business combination; management gave no timeline and cautioned that completion and future financing are uncertain. It expects it may complete only one combination, creating concentration risk.
- The filing reports no material pending legal proceedings, no defaults upon senior securities, and no material off-balance-sheet arrangements. Management concluded disclosure controls were effective and reported no material changes to internal control over financial reporting during the quarter.
Important Facts for Investors to Verify
- Confirm the intended issuer: this filing is for Patricia Acquisition Corp., not Serve Robotics Inc.
- Verify whether any later filing or transaction connects Patricia to Serve Robotics; this report identifies no target or definitive agreement.
- Assess the company’s ability to obtain funding, given limited cash, the working-capital deficit, going-concern warning, and absence of committed future advances.
- Review the stockholder note’s repayment terms and the company’s estimated near-term compliance costs.
