Metal Sky Star Acquisition Corporation, a blank check company, has faced significant financial challenges as of December 31, 2023, with a working capital deficit of $2,844,642 and no cash outside its trust account. The company has reported net income of $2,152,160 for the fiscal year, primarily from interest on marketable securities in its trust account. However, it has not generated any operating revenues since inception and has incurred losses due to operational costs. The company raised $115 million from its IPO in April 2022, but as of the end of 2023, only $35 million remained in the trust account. Significant amendments to its articles of association have been approved, extending the deadline to complete a business combination to August 5, 2024, with a potential further extension to April 5, 2025. On October 6, 2023, a proposed merger with Future Dao Group was terminated. Key risks include potential delisting from NASDAQ, regulatory scrutiny related to PRC ties, and the uncertain economic environment impacting target acquisitions. The company is classified as an emerging growth and smaller reporting company, allowing it to take advantage of reduced disclosure obligations, which may affect investor perception and trading activity.
