Note 1 — Organization and Plan of Business Operations | |
HF2 Financial Management Inc. (a company in the development stage) (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed on October 5, 2012 as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”). On September 16, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with respect to a proposed Business Combination with ZAIS Group Parent, LLC (“ZGP”). See Note 9 for further information regarding this proposed transaction. | |
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2014. | |
On February 13, 2013, the Company changed its name from H2 Financial Management Inc. to HF2 Financial Management Inc. to avoid any potential confusion with other entities using similar versions of the “H2” name in their respective businesses. | |
All activity from October 5, 2012 (inception) through September 30, 2014 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (described below) and the identification and investigation of prospective target businesses with which to consummate a Business Combination. | |
The Company is considered to be a development stage company and, as such, the Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) topic 915 “Development Stage Entities.” The Company is subject to all of the risks associated with development stage companies. | |
The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering was declared effective on March 21, 2013. On March 27, 2013, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) through the sale of 15,300,000 shares (the “Public Shares”) of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) at $10.00 per share and received proceeds, net of the underwriters’ discount and offering expenses, of $147,763,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the Public Offering, the Company sold 1,414,875 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Sponsors’ Shares”) to the Company’s initial stockholders (collectively, the “Sponsors”) at $10.00 per share in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) and raised $13,910,939, net of commissions. | |
In connection with the Public Offering, the Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,295,000 Public Shares to cover over-allotments. On March 28, 2013, the underwriters elected to exercise the over-allotment option to the full extent of 2,295,000 Public Shares. The Company closed the sale of the Public Shares pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option on April 1, 2013 and received proceeds, net of the underwriters’ discount, of $22,284,450. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Public Shares pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company raised an additional $1,801,401, net of commissions, through the sale of an additional 183,525 Sponsors’ Shares to the Sponsors in a private placement to maintain in the Trust Account an amount equal to $10.50 per Public Share sold. See Note 3 – Public Offering and Private Placement. | |
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to effect a Business Combination successfully. Upon the closing of the Public Offering, including the over-allotment option, $184,747,500 (representing $10.50 per Public Share sold in the Public Offering), including the proceeds of the Private Placements, was deposited in a Trust Account (the “Trust Account”). Substantially all of the proceeds held in the Trust Account have been and will continue to be invested in United States government treasury bills having a maturity of 180 days or less and/or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that invest solely in U.S. treasuries until the earlier of the consummation of its first Business Combination and the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the prescribed time. Placing funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such agreements. Two of the Company’s officers and the estate of one of the Company’s former officers have agreed to be jointly and severally liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered, contracted for or products sold to the Company. However, they may not be able to satisfy those obligations should they arise. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. In addition, interest income on the funds held in the Trust Account may be released to the Company to pay its income, franchise and other tax obligations and to pay for its working capital requirements in connection with searching for a Business Combination. | |
The Company’s shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). Pursuant to the Nasdaq listing rules, the target business or businesses that the Company acquires must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its Business Combination, although the Company may acquire a target business whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the Trust Account balance. | |
The Company will seek stockholder approval of any Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which Public Stockholders (as defined below) may seek to convert their shares into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable and interest income). The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if it has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of the Business Combination and a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) (3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent. In order to determine whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder, each Public Stockholder seeking to exercise conversion rights will be required to certify whether such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder. These certifications, together with any other information relating to stock ownership available at that time, will be the sole basis on which the above-referenced determination is made. If it is determined that a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder, the stockholder will be notified of the determination and will be offered an opportunity to dispute the finding. The final determination as to whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder will ultimately be made in good faith by the Company’s board of directors. In connection with any stockholder vote required to approve any Business Combination, the Sponsors have agreed (1) to vote any of their respective Founders’ Shares (as defined below), Sponsors Shares and any Public Shares they acquired in the proposed public offering or may acquire in the aftermarket in favor of the Business Combination and (2) not to convert any of their respective Founders’ Shares and Sponsors Shares. | |
On September 16, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with respect to a proposed Business Combination with ZGP. Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company will continue in existence only until March 21, 2015. If the Company has not completed the proposed Business Combination by such date, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares held by the public stockholders of the Company (“Public Stockholders”), at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest but net of franchise taxes and income taxes payable with respect to interest earned on the Trust Account, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (except for the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive a full pro rata interest in the Trust Account (initially $10.50 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the Trust Account not previously released to the Company). | |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' | ||
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | ' | ||
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies | |||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financial institutions. | |||
Concentration of Credit Risk | |||
The Company maintains its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. | |||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows: | |||
⋅ | Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | ||
⋅ | Level 2. Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. | ||
⋅ | Level 3. Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data. | ||
The Company considers its investments in U.S. treasury bills as trading securities and carries them at fair value based on quoted market prices, a Level 1 input. The (decrease) / increase in fair value subsequent to the purchase of these securities, amounting to $(822) and $38,663, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively, $50,602 and $96,047 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively, and $149,622 for the period from October 5, 2012 (Inception) to September 30, 2014, is recorded as interest income in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations. | |||
Net Loss per Share | |||
Net Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company does not have any dilutive securities outstanding. As such, basic net loss per share equals dilutive net loss per share for the period. Shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock have no economic rights, other than the right to be redeemed at par value upon liquidation. As such shares of Class B Common Stock are not considered participating securities and therefore not included in the calculation of net loss per share. | |||
Common Stock, Subject to Possible Conversion | |||
The Company accounts for its shares subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Under such standard, shares subject to mandatory conversion (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Under ASC 480, conditionally redeemable common shares (including shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Public Shares feature certain conversion rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly at September 30, 2014, the shares subject to possible conversion are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. | |||
Use of Estimates | |||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||
Income Taxes | |||
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. | |||
The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such expense as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the period from October 5, 2012 (inception) through September 30, 2014. | |||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |||
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. | |||

Note 3 — Public Offering and Private Placement | |
On March 27, 2013, the Company sold 15,300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share generating gross proceeds of $153,000,000 in the Public Offering. Simultaneously with the consummation of the Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement with the sale of 1,414,875 Sponsors’ Shares to its initial stockholders at a price of $10.00 per share, generating total proceeds of $14,148,750. The Sponsors’ Shares are identical to the shares of Class A Common Stock sold in the Public Offering, except that the Sponsors have agreed to vote the Sponsors’ Shares in favor of any proposed Business Combination, and not to convert any Sponsors’ Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed Business Combination. In the event of a liquidation prior to a Business Combination, the Sponsors have agreed that the Sponsors’ Shares will not participate in liquidating distributions. Additionally, the Sponsors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Sponsors’ Shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. | |
In connection with the Public Offering, the Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,295,000 Public Shares to cover over-allotments. On March 28, 2013, the underwriters elected to exercise the over-allotment option to the full extent of 2,295,000 Public Shares. The Company closed the sale of the Public Shares pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option on April 1, 2013 generating gross proceeds of $22,950,000 at an offering price of $10.00 per share. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Public Shares pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company raised an additional $1,835,250 of gross proceeds through the sale of an additional 183,525 Sponsors’ Shares to its initial stockholders at a price of $10.00 per share in a private placement. | |
Upon the closing of the Public Offering, including the over-allotment option, $184,747,500 (representing $10.50 per Public Share sold in the Public Offering), including the proceeds of the Private Placements, was deposited in the Trust Account. | |
The Company entered into an agreement with the underwriters of the Public Offering (“Underwriting Agreement”) after the registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering was declared effective on March 21, 2013. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company paid 2.9% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering, including the over-allotment option, or $5,102,550, as an underwriting discount. | |
The Company also paid EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. commissions of $170,200 upon the sales of the Sponsors’ Shares and has agreed to pay deferred commissions of $101,460 upon the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company was incorporated on October 5, 2012, and the evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, which are the only periods subject to examination. | ||||||||

Note 9 — Proposed Business Combination | |
On September 16, 2014, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) by and among the Company, ZGP and the members of ZGP (the “ZGP Founder Members”). The principal terms of the agreement are described below. | |
Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Company proposes to acquire a number of Class A Units of ZGP (“Class A Units”) equal to the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement (the “Closing”) and after giving effect to any redemption of shares of Class A Common Stock by the Company’s Public Stockholders in connection with the consummation of this investment (each a “Redemption”). The Class A Units that the Company will acquire are referred to herein as the “Acquired Units.” The transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement are referred to herein as the “ZAIS Business Combination.” | |
Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the contribution amount for the Acquired Units is an amount in cash equal to the assets in the Trust Account, after giving effect to Redemptions and less the Company’s aggregate costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with or pursuant to the consummation of the ZAIS Business Combination (including deferred commissions) (the “Expense Payments” and the consideration to be paid to ZGP, the “Closing Acquisition Consideration”). The Closing Acquisition Consideration will be funded with the funds in the Trust Account. | |
Immediately following consummation of the ZAIS Business Combination, the ZGP Founder Members will hold 7,000,000 Class A Units, subject to adjustment in accordance with the Investment Agreement. It is also contemplated that, following the consummation of the ZAIS Business Combination, ZGP will issue up to 1,600,000 Class B Units (“Class B Units,” and together with the Class A Units, the “Units”) to key employees of its subsidiaries. | |
During the first five years after the Closing, ZGP will release up to an additional 2,800,000 Class A Units (the “Additional Founder Units”) to the ZGP Founder Members if the sum of the average per share closing price over any 20 trading-day period of the Class A Common Stock plus cumulative dividends paid on the Class A Common Stock between the Closing and the day prior to such 20 trading-day period (the “Total Per Share Value”) meets or exceeds specified thresholds, ranging from $12.50 to $21.50. During the first five years after the Closing, ZGP may grant up to an additional 5,200,000 Class B Units (the “Additional Employee Units”) to employees of its subsidiaries, subject to satisfaction of the same Total Per Share Value thresholds as for the Additional Founder Units. All Class B Units are subject to vesting, lock-ups and other restrictive provisions. | |
The ZGP Founder Members’ Class A Units and vested Class B Units may be exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis (subject to certain adjustments to the exchange ratio) or, at the Company’s option, cash or a combination of Class A Common Stock and cash, pursuant to an Exchange Agreement that the Company will enter into with ZGP, the ZGP Founder Members and the other parties thereto. Generally, there is a two-year lock-up period before any exchanges of Class A Units or vested Class B Units are permitted. | |
In addition, at the Closing, all of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock will be transferred from the HF2 Class B Trust to the ZGP Founder Members and immediately deposited with to a newly created irrevocable trust of which Mr. Christian Zugel, the founder, Chief Investment Officer and Managing Member of ZAIS Group, LLC, is the sole trustee. Mr. Zugel will be the Chief Investment Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company following the consummation of the ZAIS Business Combination. | |
Unless waived by ZGP and the ZGP Founder Members, it is a condition to the Closing of the ZAIS Business Combination under the Investment Agreement that the amount in the Trust Account to be contributed in exchange for the Acquired Units plus other cash available to us, along with any proceeds from issuances of equity interests by ZGP will be at least $100 million. Each Redemption of shares of Class A Common Stock by our Public Stockholders will decrease the amount in the Trust Account. If Redemptions by our Public Stockholders cause the amount of cash in the Trust Account, after giving effect to the Redemptions and the Expense Payments, when aggregated with other cash available to the Company and proceeds from issuances of equity by ZGP to be less than $100 million, then ZGP and the ZGP Founder Members will not be required to consummate the ZAIS Business Combination. The consummation of the ZAIS Business Combination is also subject to a number of other conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement including, among others, the receipt of the requisite stockholder approval for the ZAIS Business Combination and, effectively, approval of an amended and restated certificate of incorporation for the Company. | |
The Investment Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the consummation of the ZAIS Business Combination upon agreement of the Company and ZGP, or by the Company or ZGP acting alone, in specified circumstances, including if the ZAIS Business Combination is not consummated on or before March 21, 2015 or if the ZAIS Business Combination is not approved by the Company’s Public Stockholders. | |
In connection with the Investment Agreement, the Company will also enter into the following agreements: (i) a Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of ZGP, (ii) an Exchange Agreement relating to the exchange of Class A Units and vested Class B Units into shares of Class A Common Stock, (iii) a Registration Rights Agreement for shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon exchange of Units, and (iv) a Tax Receivable Agreement relating to the payment of a portion of specified tax savings to the ZGP Founder Members. | |
Anticipated Accounting Treatment | |
The ZAIS Business Combination will be accounted for as a reorganization and recapitalization in accordance with GAAP for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The accounting for the reorganization and recapitalization follows the rules for a reverse acquisition as enumerated in the Accounting Standards Codification, Section 805. In a reverse acquisition, the buyer for accounting purposes is the target for legal purposes (in this case, ZGP) and the target for accounting purposes is the buyer for legal purposes (in this case, the Company). The accounting buyer in a reverse acquisition measures the consideration transferred using the hypothetical amount of equity interests it would have had to issue to keep the accounting target’s owners in the same ownership position they are in after the reverse acquisition. The accounting buyer adjusts the amount of legal capital in the consolidated financial statements to reflect the legal capital of the accounting target and measures the non-controlling interest using the pre-combination carrying amounts of the accounting buyer’s net assets and the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share in those pre-combination carrying amounts. No goodwill or other intangible will be recorded in the post-closing consolidated financial statements. | |

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financial institutions. | |||
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||
Concentration of Credit Risk | |||
The Company maintains its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. | |||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows: | |||
⋅ | Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | ||
⋅ | Level 2. Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. | ||
⋅ | Level 3. Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data. | ||
The Company considers its investments in U.S. treasury bills as trading securities and carries them at fair value based on quoted market prices, a Level 1 input. The (decrease) / increase in fair value subsequent to the purchase of these securities, amounting to $(822) and $38,663, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively, $50,602 and $96,047 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively, and $149,622 for the period from October 5, 2012 (Inception) to September 30, 2014, is recorded as interest income in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations. | |||
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||
Net Loss per Share | |||
Net Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company does not have any dilutive securities outstanding. As such, basic net loss per share equals dilutive net loss per share for the period. Shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock have no economic rights, other than the right to be redeemed at par value upon liquidation. As such shares of Class B Common Stock are not considered participating securities and therefore not included in the calculation of net loss per share. | |||
Stockholders' Equity, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||
Common Stock, Subject to Possible Conversion | |||
The Company accounts for its shares subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Under such standard, shares subject to mandatory conversion (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Under ASC 480, conditionally redeemable common shares (including shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Public Shares feature certain conversion rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly at September 30, 2014, the shares subject to possible conversion are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. | |||
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||
Use of Estimates | |||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||
Income Taxes | |||
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. | |||
The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such expense as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the period from October 5, 2012 (inception) through September 30, 2014. | |||
