Filed November 13, 2020For Securities:ASTS

Summary

New Providence Acquisition Corp. (a SPAC, later to become AST SpaceMobile) filed its 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. As of this filing, the company was an "emerging growth company" and a "smaller reporting company" and was not yet operating, its primary activity being the search for a business combination. The company held approximately $232 million in its Trust Account, primarily invested in U.S. Treasury Bills, which was earmarked for a future business combination. The company reported a net loss of $55,049 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and a net income of $740,226 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This net income was largely driven by interest income from its Trust Account, as the company had no operating revenues. The primary expenses were formation and operating costs, and the company noted substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern beyond its combination period (March 31, 2021) if a business combination was not consummated.
