Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements. 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. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy
include, but are not limited to, those described in our other

We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our Initial Business Combination will be successful. If we are unable to complete its initial business combination within 15 months from the date of the IPO, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining holders of ordinary shares and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the founder shares and Private Units will not participate in any redemption distribution with respect to their founder shares or Private Units, until all of the claims of any redeeming shareholders and creditors are fully satisfied (and then only from funds held outside the Trust Account).

In order to meet our working capital needs following the consummation of the
IPO, our initial shareholders, officers and directors or their affiliates may,
but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in
amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Each working capital loan
would be evidenced by a promissory note and would either be paid upon
consummation of our initial business combination, without interest, or, at the
lender's discretion, up to

Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial business combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.
If our estimates of the costs of undertaking due diligence and negotiating our initial 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 initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial business combination or because we become obligated to convert 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.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of these unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Offering Costs Associated with the IPO
Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses
incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the IPO.
As of
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in
accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from
Equity." Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified
as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally
redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares 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)
are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are
classified as shareholders' equity. The Company's ordinary shares feature
certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company's
control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of
Net Income (Loss) per Share
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered

the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. We then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders.
As of
Recent 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 condensed financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered

Registration Rights
The initial shareholders will be entitled to registration rights with respect to their initial shares, as well as the holders of the Private Units and holders of any securities issued to our initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates in payment of working capital loans or extension loans made to us, will be entitled to registration rights with respect to the Private Units (and underlying securities), pursuant to an agreement signed on the effective date of the IPO. The holders of such securities are entitled to demand that we register these securities at any time after we consummate a business combination. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights on registration statements filed after our consummation of a business combination.
