KINS Technology Group Inc. — Q1 2021 Form 10-Q
Entity note: The request metadata names Cxapp Inc., but the supplied filing is for KINS Technology Group Inc., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). The filing does not identify Cxapp as the registrant.
Business context and reporting period
The unaudited quarter ended March 31, 2021. KINS was formed to pursue a business combination, had not begun operating activities, and had generated no operating revenue. It completed its IPO in December 2020 and was searching for a target. The filing discusses a “Proposed Business Combination” but the supplied text does not clearly identify the target or transaction terms.
Financial results and liquidity
| Metric | Q1 2021 / March 31, 2021 |
|---|---|
| Revenue | No operating revenue |
| Operating and formation costs | $397,205 |
| Net income | $5,909,731, including a $6,260,800 noncash gain from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities |
| Trust-account interest income | $46,112 |
| Cash used in operating activities | $240,537 |
| Cash outside trust | $778,489, down from $1,019,026 at December 31, 2020 |
| Trust-account cash and marketable securities | $278,813,897, versus $278,767,785 at December 31, 2020 |
| Total assets | $280,024,152 |
| Total liabilities | $25,656,054, including $15,652,000 of warrant liabilities and $9,660,000 of deferred underwriting fees |
| Working capital | Approximately $870,000, per the filing |
| Debt | No long-term debt reported; no working-capital loans outstanding |
The reported net income largely reflects warrant remeasurement, not business operations. The filing reports Class A basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.00 and Class B per-share income of $0.86, while labeling it “net loss” in places; the presentation is unclear and warrants verification. No operating margin is meaningful because the company had no operating revenue.
Material changes versus prior period
Compared with December 31, 2020, cash outside the trust fell by about $241,000, while trust assets rose by about $46,000. Warrant liabilities declined from $21,912,800 to $15,652,000, producing the quarter’s $6,260,800 noncash gain. Shares classified as temporary equity and subject to possible redemption increased from 24,104,788 to 24,689,910. No prior-year comparable-quarter results are presented.
Outlook, risks, contingencies, and unusual items
- Management reported substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, citing limited liquidity outside the trust and the mandatory business-combination deadline. The company may seek optional sponsor or affiliate loans, but there is no commitment to provide them.
- KINS had to complete a business combination by June 17, 2022, subject to a possible extension. If unsuccessful, it must wind up and redeem public shares; warrants would expire worthless.
- The company reported no operating revenue and expected to continue incurring costs while pursuing a transaction. The filing gives no quantified earnings or revenue guidance.
- Disclosure controls were deemed ineffective as of March 31, 2021 because of a material weakness involving prior warrant classification. Management described remediation efforts, including expanded review of complex securities accounting.
- COVID-19 could adversely affect the company’s financial position, operations, or target search, but the impact was not determinable. The filing reported no legal proceedings and no material changes to previously disclosed risk factors.
- The $9.66 million deferred underwriting fee is payable from trust funds only if a business combination closes. The company also paid its sponsor $60,000 for administrative services during the quarter.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Confirm the intended issuer: the supplied filing is KINS Technology Group Inc., not Cxapp Inc.
- Review the proposed business combination’s identity, status, conditions, financing, and potential shareholder redemptions; the supplied text does not clearly provide those details.
- Reconcile the Class B per-share earnings presentation with the reported net income and stated “net loss” label.
- Assess whether cash outside the trust is adequate to fund transaction-search costs and whether additional financing is available.
- Track remediation of the material weakness and the effectiveness of disclosure controls in subsequent filings.
