+Added: results could materially differ from those estimates.
+Added: The Company has identified the following as its critical accounting policies:
+Added: do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
+Added: We evaluate all of our financial
+Added: instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify
+Added: as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15.
+Added: We account for the public warrants (the “Public Warrants”
+Added: and together with Private Warrants, collectively, the “Warrants”), as either equity or liability-classified instruments based
+Added: on an assessment of the specific terms of the Warrants and the applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board
+Added: (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).
+Added: The assessment
+Added: considers whether the Warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants are
+Added: indexed to our own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance
+Added: outside of our control, among other conditions for equity classification.
+Added: This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment,
+Added: is conducted at the time of issuance of the Warrants and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants are outstanding.
+Added: issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, such warrants are required to be recorded as a component
+Added: of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance.
+Added: For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification,
+Added: such warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter.
+Added: Changes in the estimated fair value of liability-classified warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
+Added: We evaluated the Public Warrants and Private Warrants in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts
+Added: in Entity’s Own Equity,” and concluded that they met the criteria for equity classification and are required to be recorded
+Added: as part a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance.
+Added: A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
+Added: Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing
+Added: Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument
+Added: and are measured at fair value.
+Added: Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that
+Added: are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s
+Added: control) are classified as temporary equity.
At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity.

−Removed: redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events.
