Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on
August 7, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange,
asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar Business
Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business
Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the
sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination
of cash, stock and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our
acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business
Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations (other than searching for a Business
Combination after our Initial Public Offering) nor generated any revenues to
date. Our only activities from inception through September 30, 2020 were
organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public
Offering, described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues
until after the completion of our Business Combination. We expect to generate
non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities
held after the Initial Public Offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a
public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing
compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the period from August 7, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, we
had a net loss of $1,000, which consisted of formation costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2020, we had no cash. Until the consummation of the Initial
Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of common
stock by the Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor.

Subsequent to the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report, on
November 19, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,00
Units, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their
over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per
Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing
of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 9,650,000 Private
Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a
private placement to our stockholders, generating gross proceeds of $9,650,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment
option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $232,300,000
was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $13,143,093 in transaction costs,
including $4,600,000 of underwriting fees, $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting
fees and $493,093 of other offering costs.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account,
including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account to
complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. To the
extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as
consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held
in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations
of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our
growth strategies.

We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify
and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective
target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations
of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review
corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses,
and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in
connection with a 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 a Business Combination, we may
repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to
us. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a
portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such
loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such
repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a
price of $1.00 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be
identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the
expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of
the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence
and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary
to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior
to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional
financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become
obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation
of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or
incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance
with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing
simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable
to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds
available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust
Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is
insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our
obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2020.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease
obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement the Sponsor a
monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, secretarial and administrative
services. We began incurring these fees on November 19, 2020 and will continue
to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business
Combination and our liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $8,050,000
in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from
the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a
Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on November 16, 2020,
the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that
may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A common
stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants
that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion
of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights requiring us to
register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are
entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we
register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back”
registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to
the completion of a Business Combination. The registration rights agreement does
not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting
from delays in registering our securities. We will bear the expenses incurred in
connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America
requires 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. We have not identified any critical accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective,
accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our
condensed financial statements.
