The issuance of additional ordinary shares in a Business Combination:
? may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in our initial public offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions of 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 Class A ordinary shares if preferred shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A 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 officers and directors; ? 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; and ? may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A ordinary shares and/or warrants.
Similarly, if we issue debt securities, 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 Class A 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 Class A 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 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 complete a Business Combination will be successful.
3 Results of Operations
We have engaged in limited operations to date, which have not generated any
revenues. Our only activities since inception have been organizational
activities, activities related to our initial Public Offering and Private
Placement, and subsequent preliminary discussions with potential Business
Combination targets. Following our initial Public Offering, we have not
generated any operating revenues and will not do so until after completion of
our initial Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form
of interest income on funds held in our trust account after our initial Public
Offering. Other than the proceeds raised from our initial Public Offering and
concurrent Private Placement financings in February-

4 Outlook
As of
As of
Other than as described below, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or
finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor
or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors 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 initial 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 completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered
off-balance sheet arrangements as of
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 the Sponsor

5 Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its public Class A ordinary shares, which are subject to possible redemption, in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument 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 Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company's control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders' equity section of the Company's condensed balance sheets.
Warrant Liability
We account for the private placement warrants-that we sold as part of the Private Units concurrently with our initial Public Offering- in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification 815 ("ASC 815"), "Derivatives and Hedging", under which the private placement warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the private placement warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust those warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until those warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of the private placement warrants has been estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton model.
The public warrants that were included in the Units sold as part of our initial Public Offering are classified as equity.
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.
