Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"). 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. Such statements include, but are not limited
to, possible business combinations and the financing thereof, and related
matters, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical
fact included in this Form 10-Q. Factors that might cause or contribute to such
a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other

Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds held outside of the Trust Account 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.

This management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results
of operations is based on our unaudited condensed financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with
Derivative 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 and forward purchase agreements, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
The warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the "Public
Warrants") and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative
liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, we recognize the warrant
instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair
value at each reporting period until they are exercised. The fair value of the
Public Warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering and Private
Placement Warrants have initially been measured at fair value using a Monte
Carlo simulation model. The fair value of the Public Warrants as of

The determination of the fair value of the derivative liabilities may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in
accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from
Equity." Shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if
any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value.
Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A
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 our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all
other times, shares of Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders'
equity. Our Class A ordinary shares features certain redemption rights that are
considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of
uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of
Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
We comply with the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260,
"Earnings Per Share." Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by
dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture by our
Sponsor. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of
750,000 ordinary shares that were subject to forfeiture if the option to
purchase additional Units is not exercised by the underwriters (see Note 7). On

Table of Contents Our condensed statements of operations includes a presentation of net income (loss) per share for Class A redeemable ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of net income (loss) per ordinary share. Net income (loss) per ordinary share, basic and diluted, for Class A redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, less interest available to be withdrawn for the payment of taxes, by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the periods. Net income (loss) per ordinary share, basic and diluted, for Class B non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), adjusted for income attributable to Class A redeemable ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of Class B non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the periods. Class B non-redeemable ordinary shares include the Founder Shares as these ordinary shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.
The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
The Company's management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards updates, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's unaudited condensed financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
JOBS Act
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act") contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an "emerging growth company" and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the condensed financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
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 controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (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 the CEO's compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.
