Going Concern and Liquidity
As of
We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, suspending the pursuit of a business combination. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business
combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor, or certain of our
officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us 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

Extension Loans (and any securities underlying the Private Units, the UPO, or
units issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans or Extension Loans)
will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights
agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the initial public
offering requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the
Founder Shares, only after redemption to the Company's common stock). The
holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding
short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders
have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration
statements filed subsequent to our completion of its initial business
combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Furthermore, notwithstanding the
foregoing, pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110,

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of these 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Shares of Class A 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 feature redemption rights that is 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 Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and

subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity section of our balance sheet.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable common stock outstanding for the period. Net loss per common share, basic and diluted for Class A and Class B common stock is calculated by dividing the net income, less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period presented.
Warrant Liability
We account for our warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant's 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 warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for liability classification under ASC 815. 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 warrants are outstanding.
Our Private Placement Warrants meet the criteria as liability classified derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. We will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the Private Placement Warrants. At that time, the portion of the liability related to the Private Placement Warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
Recent Accounting Standards
In
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
