Companys control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders equity. The Companys Class A
ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Companys control and subject to the occurrence respectively of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020,
15,210,724 and 15,032,216 shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, respectively, outside of the shareholders equity section of the Companys balance sheet.
Income Taxes
ASC Topic 740 prescribes a
recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Companys management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Companys only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes
accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company is
currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company
is considered an exempted Cayman Islands company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Companys tax provision was zero for the period presented.
The Companys management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Net Income Per Ordinary Share
The Company
complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
The Company has not considered the effect of the Public Warrants (as defined below) and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,383,333 A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since their inclusion
would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.
The Companys unaudited condensed statement of operations includes a presentation of income
per share for ordinary shares subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per share, basic and diluted for Class A ordinary shares is calculated by
dividing the investment income earned on the Trust Account of approximately $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 by the weighted average number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Net income per share, basic
and diluted for Class B ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net income of approximately $1.8 million, less income attributable to Class A ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of Class B ordinary shares
outstanding for the period.
At March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised
or converted into ordinary shares and then participate in the earnings. As a result, diluted income per common share is the same as basic net income per common share for the period presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020,
the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-06, Debt Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entitys Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting
for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entitys Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain
settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021.
Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any
other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
