CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes, and oral statements made from time
to time by representatives of the Company may include, forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current
expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking
statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions
about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "could," "would," "expect,"
"plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "continue," or the negative of such
terms or other similar expressions. Such statements include, but are not limited
to, possible business combinations and the financing thereof, and related
matters, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical
fact included in this Form 10-Q. Factors that might cause or contribute to such
a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other
•our ability to select an appropriate target business or businesses;
•our ability to complete our initial business combination;
•our expectations around the performance of the prospective target business or businesses;
•our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors following our initial business combination;
•our officers and directors allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with our business or in approving our initial business combination;
•our potential ability to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination;
25 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•our pool of prospective target businesses;
•our ability to consummate an initial business combination due to the uncertainty resulting from the recent COVID-19 pandemic;
•the ability of our officers and directors to generate a number of potential business combination opportunities;
•our public securities' potential liquidity and trading;
•the lack of a market for our securities;
•the use of proceeds not held in the Trust Account (as defined below) or available to us from interest and dividend income on the Trust Account balance;
•the Trust Account not being subject to claims of third parties;
•our financial performance; and
•the other risks and uncertainties discussed in "Risk Factors".
The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors." Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Results of Operations
Since the Initial Public Offering, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial Business Combination, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing a Business Combination.

Additionally, if our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial Business Combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or the amount of interest and dividends available to us from the Trust Account is less than we expect as a result of the current interest rate environment, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of our initial Business Combination. Following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Contractual Obligations Registration rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed prior to the closing date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Class A common stock subject to possible redemption
We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in
accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity". Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are
classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value.
Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock
that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder
or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely
within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times,
Class A common stock is classified as stockholders' equity. Our Class A common
stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of
our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events.
Accordingly, as of

Net income (loss) per common share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share". The Company's unaudited condensed statements of operations include a presentation of net income (loss) per common share in a manner similar to the two-class method of net income (loss) per common share. Earnings and losses are shared pro-rata between the two classes of shares. Remeasurement adjustment associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted for Class A common stock
for the three months ended
Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted for Class F common stock
for the three months ended
The Company has not considered the effect of the Warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering (including the exercise of the over-allotment option) and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 16,125,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the Warrants into Class A common shares is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per common share is the same as basic net income (loss) per common share for the periods presented.
Warrant liabilities
The Company accounts for its outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Subtopic 815-40, "Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity" and determined that the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder. As such, each warrant must be recorded as a liability and is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recorded in the Company's unaudited condensed statements of operations. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these unaudited condensed financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.
