Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires 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. Significant assumptions include the fair value of the Company’s Public Warrants and Representative Shares, at their issuance dates, the valuation of the over-allotment option provided to the underwriters and the excise tax liability in connection with redemption of Class A common stock.

At the IPO date, the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were accounted for as equity instruments as they meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815 based on current expected terms, which are subject to change. The over-allotment option was accounted for as a liability under ASC 480, as it is an option exercisable into redeemable shares.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control
