We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest 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.
As of
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 will 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 is 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.
However, in connection with the Company's assessment of going concern
considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, "Presentation of Financial
Statements - Going Concern" ("ASC 205-40"), management has determined that
mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to
complete its initial Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date;
however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate
any Business Combination by

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
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 is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock 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, common stock is classified as stockholders' equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' deficit section of our condensed balance sheets. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.
Net Income (loss) Per Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC
Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." Net income (loss) per share is computed by
dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock
outstanding during the period. The Company has two classes of shares, which are
referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Earnings and
losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Public Warrants

21 Accounting for Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments' specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity" ("ASC 480") and ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The assessment considers whether the instruments are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company's own shares of common stock and whether the instrument holders could potentially require "net cash settlement" in a circumstance outside of the Company's control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the instruments are outstanding. As discussed in Note 7, the Company determined that upon review of the public warrant agreement (as may be amended and restated, the "Public Warrant Agreement") and private warrant agreement (as may be amended and restated, the "Private Warrant Agreement," and together with the Public Warrant Agreement, the "Warrant Agreements"), management concluded that the Public Warrants and Private Warrants issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreements qualify for equity accounting treatment.
