Critical Accounting Policies
This management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Except as set forth below, there have been no significant changes in our
critical accounting policies as discussed in our Annual Report Form 10-K files

Warrants Liability
We evaluated the warrants in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard

"Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity" ("ASC 815-40") and
concluded that a provision in the Warrant Agreement, dated

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
All of the 14,950,000 shares of Class A commons stock sold as part of the units
in the initial public offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the
redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company's liquidation,
if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial
business combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company's
amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. 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 Per Common Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share". Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company has two classes of shares, Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 14,532,500 of the Company's Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted income per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net income (loss) per common share for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement," for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities reflects management's estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 - Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar
assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.
Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the
overall fair value measurement. 23
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB issued final guidance that amends ASC 815 and other topics to expand
and clarify the use of what is now called the portfolio layer method for fair
value hedges of interest rate risk. The amendments address stakeholder concerns
about the application of this method, which was called the last-of-layer method
when it was introduced in ASU 2017-12. This method was intended to reduce
complexity when applying fair value hedge accounting to portfolios of prepayable
financial assets or one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of
prepayable financial instruments; but stakeholders noted that limiting hedge
accounting to a single layer of a closed portfolio was inconsistent with
entities' risk management objectives and decreased the model's usefulness.
Stakeholders also said that nonprepayable financial assets should be eligible to
be included in the closed portfolio being hedged and that more guidance on how
to account for the fair value hedge basis adjustment associated with existing
last-of-layer hedges was needed. Stakeholders also said that nonprepayable
financial assets should be eligible to be included in the closed portfolio being
hedged and that more guidance on how to account for the fair value hedge basis
adjustment associated with existing last-of-layer hedges was needed. This
guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
The FASB issued final guidance1 amending ASC 310 to eliminate the recognition
and measurement guidance for a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) for creditors
that have adopted the new credit losses guidance in ASC 326. The guidance also
requires public business entities to present gross write-offs by year of
origination in their vintage disclosures. The FASB issued the guidance in
response to stakeholder feedback as part of the postimplementation review of its
new credit losses standard. Stakeholders said the TDR accounting guidance was no
longer relevant because under ASC 326 entities account for full lifetime
expected credit losses. They also raised questions about whether entities need
to present gross write-offs and gross recoveries in vintage disclosures, since
the guidance doesn't specifically address this point, but the disclosures are
included in an example. Financial statement users told the FASB that information
about gross write-offs is valuable. For entities that have adopted the guidance
in ASC 326, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after
