Part 1: Performance Analysis

Ahren Acquisition Corp. is a newly formed blank check company that has not generated any revenues to date, nor has the company engaged in any operations, except for organizational activities, preparing for its Initial Public Offering (IPO), and searching for an Initial Business Combination. For the quarter ending March 31, 2023, the company generated net income of $1,190,762, compared to $5,601,454 for the same period in 2022. The current year's result is particularly impressive considering the decrease in the fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, which reduced by $1,364,266 compared to the previous year and other expenses of $508,700. On the other hand, the previous year's net income was impacted adversely by an increase in the fair value of derivative warrant liabilities by $6,216,338. In terms of liquidity, the company's working capital deficit, excluding marketable securities held in the Trust Account and derivative warrant liabilities, stood at $909,132, while it held marketable securities worth $312,889,765 in the Trust Account, which is not available for working capital purposes.

Part 2: Forward-Looking Analysis

The company expects its cash held outside the Trust Account as of March 31, 2023, will not be enough to allow it to operate for at least the next 12 months from the unaudited condensed financial statements' issuance, assuming the Initial Business Combination is not consummated during that time. However, the company anticipates that it will use the funds held outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable and accrued liabilities, identifying and evaluating prospective targets for an Initial Business Combination, performing due diligence on prospective targets, and more. While Ahren Acquisition Corp. does not have any specific target business identified as a candidate for its Initial Business Combination, it seeks differentiated opportunities that leverage its management team's expertise and the European and UK markets' unique technology and science strengths. The company's officers and directors have the option to lend money through the working capital loans as required by the company. Looking forward, investors should pay close attention to the company's efforts toward identifying and consummating its Initial Business Combination, which will significantly impact its future performance. Investors should keep in mind that the future performance of blank check companies depends heavily on the target company's industry, markets, competitive position, and industry trends.

PART 1: Performance Analysis

Ahren Acquisition Corp. is a relatively new public listed company that is engaging in a blank check venture. It was incorporated in April 2021 and has only organized activities as of the moment. The company’s plans are all forward looking statements so investors shouldn’t base their decisions solely on the expected results. 

Since the company has not generated any operating revenue, it is not possible to fully analyze its performance for the latest period. However, investors should be aware that the company generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash after its Initial Public Offering. 

The company intends to effectuate its Initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement of the Private Placement Warrants, the proceeds of the sale of its shares in connection with its Initial Business Combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements they may enter into or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, other securities issuances, or a combination of the foregoing. 

In evaluating the performance of Ahren Acquisition Corp., it is important to consider its competitive position, current trends in its industry, and other factors that could impact its future performance. The company has stated its plans to seek differentiated opportunities in Europe and the UK, where deep technology and deep science are very strong, enterprise valuations are in many cases currently attractive relative to other global locations. However, the company has not yet identified its Initial Business Combination opportunity. 

Additionally, the issuance of additional shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination to the owners of the target or other investors may significantly dilute the equity interest of existing investors, which may cause a change in control if a substantial number of Class A Ordinary Shares are issued. This may affect, among other things, Ahren Acquisition Corp.'s ability to use its net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of its present officers and directors.

PART 2: Forward-Looking Analysis

Ahren Acquisition Corp. has identified the UK and Europe as the location where it plans to identify differentiated opportunities. It is worth noting that the enterprise valuations are currently attractive relative to other global locations. Therefore, we can expect the company to focus on identifying opportunities in Europe and the UK for its Initial Business Combination. 

It should be noted that the company has incurred significant costs in the pursuit of its Initial Business Combination. Thus, investors should take into consideration the risks associated with the company's ongoing efforts to raise capital or complete its Initial Business Combination. 

Furthermore, Ahren Acquisition Corp. is a relatively new company in a blank check venture. Investors should take a cautious approach and fully evaluate the risks involved before investing. Investors should also closely monitor the financial performance of the company as it looks to identify a business combination opportunity. 

The company’s competitive position and the current trends in the industry should be closely watched as it seeks to consummate its Initial Business Combination. Investors should keep in mind that Ahren Acquisition Corp. has not yet identified an opportunity for this combination. As such, investors should remain vigilant and watchful of any developments that may affect the company's planned business combination opportunity. Management's plans should be taken into careful consideration in light of the potential opportunities and risks that the company faces moving forward.
