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

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in
connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders or their
affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If
we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the
event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the
working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but
no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our 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, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our 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 complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

We have engaged Mizuho as an advisor in connection with our initial business
combination to assist us in holding meetings with our stockholders to discuss
the potential business combination and the target business' attributes,

securities in connection with our initial business combination, assist us in
obtaining stockholder approval for the initial business combination and assist
us with our press releases and public filings in connection with the initial
business combination. We will pay Mizuho a cash fee for such services upon the
consummation of our initial business combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
Class A Common stock subject to possible redemption
We account for 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 is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A 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 the Company's control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A common stock is classified as stockholders' equity (deficit). Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity (deficit) section of our condensed balance sheets.

Derivative warrant liabilities
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of its 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 re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
We account for our 11,796,667 common stock warrants issued in connection with
our IPO (11,500,000) and Private Placement (296,667) as derivative warrant
liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, we recognize the warrant
instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust 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 our statement of operations. The fair value of Private Placement
Warrants issued by the Company in connection with the Public Offering and
Private Placement has been estimated using
Offering costs associated with the Initial Public Offering
We allocated with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and
We allocated the offering costs between common stock and public warrants using relative fair value method, the offering costs allocated to the public warrants will be expensed immediately, and offering costs allocated to common stock were charged to stockholders' equity (deficit) upon the completion of the IPO.
Net income per share of common stock
We compute net income (loss) per common stock by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent accounting standards
In
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 financial statements.
