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 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. Factors that might cause or contribute to
such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other

The issuance of additional ordinary shares or preference shares in a Business Combination:
? may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in this offering,
which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B
ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a
greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares;
? may subordinate the rights of holders of ordinary shares if preference shares
are issued with rights senior to those afforded our ordinary shares;
? could cause a change of control if a substantial number of our ordinary shares
are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net
operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or
removal of our present directors and officers;
? may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by
diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain
control of us;
? may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Units, ordinary shares
and/or Warrants; and
? may not result in adjustment to the exercise price of our Warrants.
20
Similarly, if we issue debt or otherwise incur significant indebtedness, it could result in:
? default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an
initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;
? acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all
principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that
require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a
waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
? our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the
debt is payable on demand;
? our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains
covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt is
outstanding;
? our inability to pay dividends on our ordinary shares;
? using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on
our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our ordinary
shares if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other
general corporate purposes;
? limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our
business and in the industry in which we operate;
? increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and
competitive conditions, global hostilities and adverse changes in government
regulation; and
? limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our
strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors
who have less debt. Results of Operations

Until the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing, 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 and consultant expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans, most of which will be paid at the time of the Business Combination. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. If the 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, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to its Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing, or the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination.
If the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination within 24 months

agreements, the Company will be required to pay such service providers and
advisors fees in connection with their services when the closing of a potential
Business Combination is met. If a Business Combination does not occur, the
Company anticipates that it will be obligated to pay
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies and estimates:
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments 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 the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders' equity section of the Company's balance sheet.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Class A ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging." Derivative instruments 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. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The Company has determined the Public and Private Placement Warrants are derivative instruments and has them classified them as liabilities.
Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding with income (loss) allocated pro-rata between the classes. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per ordinary share excludes the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Class A ordinary shares since the warrant shares current market value is below exercise price and would be antidilutive. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

JOBS Act
On
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: (1) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (2) 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; (3) 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 (4) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer's compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our offering or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.
