Overview


We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

The issuance of additional shares of our stock in a Business Combination:





  ? may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors, which dilution
    would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B common stock
    resulted in the issuance of Class A shares on a greater than one-to-one basis
    upon conversion of the Class B common stock;
  ? may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if preferred stock is
    issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock;
  ? could cause a change of control if a substantial number of shares of our
    common stock 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 officers and directors;
  ? may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by
    diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain
    control of us; and
  ? may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock
    and/or warrants.




                                       18




Similarly, if we issue debt securities 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 common stock;
  ? 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 common
    stock 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 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.



We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues from operations to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our IPO and identifying a target company for our initial Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $1,098,848. We incurred $17,507 of formation and operating costs consisting mostly of general and administrative expenses. We had investment income of $3,738 on our amounts held in the Trust Account.

As a result of the restatement described in Note 2 "Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements" to the financial statements included herein, we classify the warrants issued in connection with our IPO and Private Placement Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrant instruments to fair value at each reporting period. These liabilities are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. As part of the reclassification to warrant liability, we reclassed a portion of the offering costs associated with the IPO originally charged to stockholders' equity, to an expense in the statement of operations in the amount of $844,080 based on a relative fair value basis. There was a charge to the statement of operations for the excess fair value over cash received for the private placement warrants in the amount of $ 355,999. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the change in fair value of warrants was a decrease in the liability of approximately $115,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2021, we had cash outside the Trust Account of $1,578,383 available for working capital needs. All remaining cash held in the Trust Account are generally unavailable for the Company's use prior to an initial Business Combination, and are restricted for use either in a Business Combination or to redeem common stock. As of March 31, 2021, none of the amount in the Trust Account was available to be withdrawn as described above.

Through March 31, 2021, the Company's liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the founder shares, and the remaining net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Warrants.





                                       19




The Company anticipates that the $1,578,383 outside of the Trust Account as of March 31, 2021 will be sufficient to allow the Company to operate for at least the next 12 months, assuming that a Business Combination is not consummated during that time. Until consummation of our Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the trust account, and any additional Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5 to our financial statements) from the Company's sponsor, an affiliate of the Company's sponsor or certain of the Company's directors and officers (which is described in Note 5 to our financial statements), for identifying and evaluating target businesses, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structuring, negotiating and completing a Business Combination.

The Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the Company's estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking due diligence and negotiating an initial 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 the Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its initial Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares in connection with its initial Business Combination or a stockholder vote to make certain amendments to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with its initial Business Combination. Except as otherwise described herein, none of the Company's sponsor, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

As a result of the restatement described in Note 2 "Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements" to the financial statements included herein, we classify the warrants issued in connection with our IPO and the Private Placement Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrant instruments to fair value at each reporting period. These liabilities are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations.

Derivative Warrant 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, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. 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.

We issued an aggregate of 17,433,333 warrants (comprising 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants), which, as a result of the restatement described in Note 2 "Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements" to the financial statements included herein, are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, we recognize the warrants as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company's statement of operations. The fair value of warrants issued in connection with our IPO and private placement has been estimated using Monte Carlo simulations at each measurement date.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2021.





                                       20





Contractual obligations


We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, administrative and support services to the Company. We began incurring these fees on March 11, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $12,075,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be waived by the underwriters in the event that we do not complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.





Critical Accounting Policies



The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in 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 features 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) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders' equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity section of our unaudited condensed balance sheet.

Net Loss per Share of Common Stock

We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income per share of common stock, basic and diluted for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A redeemable common stock outstanding for the periods. Net income per share of common stock, basic and diluted for and Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing net income less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of shares of Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the periods presented.





Warrant Liability


We account for our 17,433,333 Warrants (comprising 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants) as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company's statement of operations. The fair value of warrants issued by the Company in connection with the Public Offering and Private Placement has been estimated using Monte-Carlo simulations at each measurement date.





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.
