ASB ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-incapital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company accounts for the 8,250,000Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and 510,000Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4) as equity-classified instruments. Convertible Debt The Company issues debt that may have conversion features. Convertible debt – derivative treatment – When the Company issues debt with a conversion feature, the Company must first assess whether the embedded equity-linked component is clearly and closely related to its host instruments. If a component is clearly and closely related to its host instruments, then the Company has to assess whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, as follows: a) one or more underlying, typically the price of our common stock; b) one or more notional amounts or payment provisions or both, generally the number of shares upon conversion; c) no initial net investment, which typically excludes the amount borrowed; and d) net settlement provisions, which in the case of convertible debt generally means the stock received upon conversion can be readily sold for cash. An embedded equity-linked component that meets the definition of a derivative does not have to be separated from the host instrument if the component qualifies for the scope exception for certain contracts involving an issuer’s own equity. The scope exception applies if the contract is both a) indexed to its own stock; and b) classified in shareholders’ equity in its statement of financial position. If the conversion feature within convertible debt meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, the Company estimates the fair value of the embedded derivative using the Black Scholes method upon the date of issuance. If the fair value of the embedded derivative is higher than the face value of the convertible debt, the excess is immediately recognized as interest expense. The derivative shall be recorded at fair value as
