Conclusion

The Company is in the development stage and hence rely on grants and cash balances to carry on all the business activities. The operations are financed by the sale of equity securities by private placements. The Bottom-line performance has been in the negative zone, and the entire cash flow is generated from financing activities. FG New America Acquisition Corp is classified as an emerging growth company according to Securities Act and is exempt from various reporting requirements. Since the Company do not generate any revenue, it may face an issue to meet working capital needs and will be using cash balance to meet expenses. The Company operates in a challenging environment which requires continuous investment, sometimes at the cost of profitability, to stay ahead of competitors. The stock made a 52-week low and high of USD 9.78 and USD 10.98, respectively.

Based on the above rationale, we have given an “Avoid” recommendation on FG New America Acquisition Corp at the closing price of USD 10.92 (as on 21 January 2021), and with support from few catalysts needs to be evaluated at a later stage such as the commencement of business activities and raise of additional funds from equity placing.
