CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes, and oral statements made from time

statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as

"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

•the ability of our officers and directors to generate a number of potential business combination opportunities;
•our public securities' potential liquidity and trading;
•the lack of a market for our securities;
•the use of proceeds not held in the Trust Account (as defined below) or available to us from interest income on the Trust Account balance;
•the Trust Account not being subject to claims of third parties;
•our financial performance; and
•the other risks and uncertainties discussed in "Risk Factors".
The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors." Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Results of Operations
Since the Initial Public Offering, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial Business Combination, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing a Business Combination.

In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in
accordance with ASU 2014-15, "Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's
Ability to Continue as a Going Concern," as of
If our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial Business Combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or the amount of interest available to us from the Trust Account is less than we expect as a result of the current interest rate environment, 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 redeem 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 and Estimates
Class A common stock subject to possible redemption
We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in
accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic
480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Class A common stock subject to
mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are
measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including
Class A common stock 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, Class A common stock is classified as stockholders' equity. Our
Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to
be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future
events. Accordingly, at

Net income (loss) per common share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share". The Company's statement of operations includes a presentation of net income (loss) per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of net income (loss) per common share.
Net income (loss) per common stock, basic and diluted for Class A common stock

The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial
Public Offering (including the consummation of the over-allotment) and Private
Placement to purchase an aggregate of 9,666,667 shares of Class A common stock
in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the Warrants
into Class A common shares is contingent upon the occurrence of future events.
For the three months ended
Warrant liabilities
The Company accounts for its outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (collectively, the "Warrants") in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 and determined that the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder. As such, each warrant must be recorded as a liability and is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recorded in the Company's statements of operations.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Our management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed balance sheet.
