Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward- looking statements. When used in this Form 10-Q, words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend" and similar expressions, as they relate to us or the Company's management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company's management. Actual results may differ materially due to various factors, including, but not limited to:
? our ability to complete our initial business combination with the Target or an alternative business combination; ? our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors following our initial business combination; ? our officers and directors allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with our business or in approving our initial business combination, as a result of which they would then receive expense reimbursements; ? in the event the Business Combination (as defined below) is consummated, our ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations regarding the Target after the completion of the proposed transactions and optimize the Target's business; ? in the event the Business Combination is not consummated, the ability of our officers and directors to generate a number of potential alternative acquisition opportunities; ? our pool of prospective target businesses; ? the ability of our officers and directors to generate a number of potential acquisition opportunities; ? our public securities' potential liquidity and trading; ? the lack of a market for our securities; ? our continued liquidity and our ability to continue as a going concern; ? the use of proceeds not held in the trust account or available to us from interest income on the trust account balance; or ? our financial performance.
All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on the Company's behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Form 10-

The issuance of additional shares in connection with an initial Business Combination to the owners of the target or other investors:
? 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 Common Stock on a greater than one -to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B common stock; ? may subordinate the rights of holders of our common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock; ? could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock is 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.
Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or the owners of a target, 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 security is payable on demand; ? our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security 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, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund 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; ? limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and execution of our strategy; and ? other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt. 19
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in
connection with our initial 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 our initial Business
Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial
Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital
held outside the Trust Accounts to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds
from our Trust Accounts would be used for such repayment. Up to

Moreover, we will need to obtain additional financing either to complete 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 have entered into the Securities Purchase Agreements for the additional financing in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we expect to complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Accounts. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, the Company 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 a potential transaction, 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.
The Company intends to complete the proposed Business Combination before

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires the Company's 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. The Company has identified the following as its critical accounting policies:
21 Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Class A Common stock subject to possible redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in
accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic
480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Common stock subject to mandatory
redemption (if any) 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 events not solely within the
Company's control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common
stock is classified as stockholders' equity. The Company's common stock features
certain redemption rights that are outside of the Company's control and subject
to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of
