Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that
are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All
statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q
including, without limitation, statements in this "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" regarding the
Company's financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of
management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as
"expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "seek" and variations
and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future
performance, but reflect management's current beliefs, based on information
currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance
or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results
discussed in the forward-looking statements. For information identifying
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest income earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business
Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the
Company's officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company
funds as may be required ("Working Capital Loans"). If the Company completes a
Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of
the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the
Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust
Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company
may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the
Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to
repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such
Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written
agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would
either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest,
or, at the lender's discretion, up to
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an "emerging growth company," we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of executive compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our IPO or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements and related
disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
Warrant Liabilities
We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified
instruments based on an assessment of the warrant's specific terms and
applicable authoritative guidance in
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the 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, the 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 the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
Class A Ordinary share Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our ordinary share subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Ordinary share subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary share (including ordinary share that features 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) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary share is classified as shareholders' equity. Our ordinary share features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary share subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders' equity section of our condensed balance sheets. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary share to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary share are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

Net income Per Ordinary shares
We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income per the redeemable shares, basic and diluted, is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account by the weighted average number of redeemable ordinary shares outstanding since original issuance. Net income per ordinary shares, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net income, less income attributable to redeemable ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the periods presented.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.
