Overview
We are a newly organized blank check company incorporated on
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 investors in our Initial Public Offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the common stock resulted in the issuance of common stock on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the common stock; ? may subordinate the rights of holders of our common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock; ? could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock is issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; ? may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and ? may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock and/or warrants. 18
Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to banks or other lenders or the owners of a target, it could result in:
? default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations; ? acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant; ? our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand; ? our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding; ? our inability to pay dividends on our common stock; ? using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund other general corporate purposes; ? limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate; ? increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; ? limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and execution of our strategy; and ? other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.

The Company believes that it could incur additional fees associated with transaction expenses and it may be required to request additional funding from the Sponsor, which is not obligated to do so. The company believes that the Sponsor is adequately capitalized to provide the associated funds in the form of a loan to the company at any time the company requests the funds. Since the Sponsor is not obligated to provide the source of funds that may be needed, the Company may not be able to obtain the additional financing required. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern through the next 12 months, if a business combination is not consummated. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets of the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:
Warrant Liabilities
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15.
We account for the Public Warrants and Private Warrants collectively
("Warrants"), as either equity or liability-classified instruments based on an
assessment of the specific terms of the Warrants and the applicable
authoritative guidance in
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, such warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, such warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of liability-classified warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
We account for the Private Warrants in accordance with ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. The fair value of the Private Warrants has been estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model.
We evaluated the Public Warrants and Rights in accordance with ASC 815-40, "Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity," and concluded that they met the criteria for equity classification and are required to be recorded as part a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance.
Net Income Per Common Share
Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for each period. The calculation of diluted income per common share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) IPO, (ii) exercise of overallotment and (iii) Private Placement since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 10,210,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including 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 the Company's control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders' equity. Our common stock feature certain redemption rights that is considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity section of our balance sheet.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered
off-balance sheet arrangements as of
20 Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease
obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.
