During the course of preparing the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, we identified a misstatement related to the initial recognition of the shares subject to redemption in our previously issued unaudited financial statements, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 filed on Form 10-Q on May 13, 2021.
The Public Shares subject to redemption were recognized at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with ASC 480. The Company determined the ordinary shares subject to redemption to be equal to the redemption value of approximately $10.00 per ordinary share while also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Upon considering the impact of Forward Purchase Agreement, it was concluded that the redemption value should include all the Public Shares resulting in the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption being equal to $320,000,000.
The effect of the revision on specific line items in previously issued unaudited financial statement, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 filed on Form 10-Q on May 13, 2021 can be found in Note 8 of the notes to unaudited condensed Financial Statements.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the revision on specific line items in previously issued unaudited financial statement, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 filed on Form 10-Q on May 13, 2021, our management reassessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021. As a result of that reassessment, our management determined that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021 were not effective solely as a result of its initial recognition of the shares subject to redemption.
In light of the material weakness that we identified, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited condensed financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as described herein, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as the circumstances that led to the revision of our previously filed financial statements described above had not yet been identified.
In light of the revision of the previously filed financial statements, we plan to enhance our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
