The Company was incorporated in Delaware on March 28, 2014 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”). The Company’s efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region of the world although the Company initially intends to focus on target businesses in China that operate in the non-traditional financial industry, including but not limited to microcredit companies, financial leasing companies and guarantors. |

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on August 26, 2014. As described in Note 7 (subsequent events), the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 4,000,000 units on September 2, 2014 generating gross proceeds of $40,000,000 and net proceeds of $37,900,000 after deducting $2,100,000 of transaction costs. Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated a private placement of units (“Private Units”) generating gross proceeds of $2,100,000 to the an affiliate of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“Initial Stockholders”). |

Also described in Note 7 (subsequent events), On September 23, 2014, the underwriters exercised a portion of their over-allotment option to the extent of 80,100 units and on September 24, 2014, the Company consummated the closing of that portion of the overallotment option (“Overallotment”). The Initial Public Offering and the Overallotment are collectively referred to as the “Offering.” The 80,100 units sold pursuant to the Overallotment were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $801,000, all of which was deposited in the Trust Account (defined below). |
|
|
|
Following the closing of the Overallotment on September 24, 2014, an amount of $40,801,000 (or $10.00 per share sold to the public in the Offering) from the sale of the units in the Offering and the Private Units is being held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and may be invested in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and that invest solely in U.S. treasuries or United States bonds, treasuries or notes having a maturity of 180 days or less. The $40,801,000 placed into the Trust Account may not be released until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) 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. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has agreed that he will be 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, there can be no assurance that he will 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, (i) interest income on the funds held in the Trust Account can be released to the Company to pay its income and other tax obligations and (ii) interest income on the funds held in the Trust Account can be released to the Company to pay for its working capital requirements in connection with searching for a Business Combination. |

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering and Private Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s Units are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”). Pursuant to the NASDAQ listing rules, the Company’s initial Business Combination must be with a target business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the Trust Account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for such Business Combination, although this may entail simultaneous acquisitions of several target businesses. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to effect a Business Combination successfully. |
|
|
|
The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, is required to provide stockholders who acquired shares of common stock in the Offering (“Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to convert their shares (“Public Shares”) for a pro rata share of the Trust Account. However, the Company is not permitted to consummate an initial Business Combination unless it has at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon close of such Business Combination. The Initial Stockholders have agreed that they will vote any shares they then hold in favor of any proposed Business Combination and will waive any conversion rights with respect to these shares. However, an investor in the Public Offering holding 1,000,000 Public Units (as described in Note 4) has agreed that he will hold such Units sold in the Public Offering through the consummation of an initial Business Combination, vote in favor of such proposed initial Business Combination and not seek conversion in connection therewith. As a result, the Company expects to meet the $5,000,001 net tangible asset requirement in order to complete its initial Business Combination. |
|
|
|
In connection with any proposed Business Combination, the Company will seek stockholder approval of an initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to convert their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval of an initial Business Combination, any Public Stockholder voting either for or against such proposed Business Combination will be entitled to demand that his shares of common stock be converted into a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company or necessary to pay its taxes). The Rights (discussed in Note 7 - Initial Public Offering) sold as part of the Units will not be entitled to vote on the proposed Business Combination and will have no conversion or liquidation rights. |
|
|
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate or other person with whom such Public Stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the shares of shares of common stock sold in the Offering. A “group” will be deemed to exist if Public Stockholders (i) file a Schedule 13D or 13G indicated the presence of a group or (ii) acknowledge to the Company that they are acting, or intend to act, as a group. |

|
Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by June 1, 2016, or September 1, 2016 if certain extension criteria have been satisfied, it will trigger the Company’s automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation. If the Company is unable to consummate an initial Business Combination, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company or necessary to pay any of its taxes. Holders of Rights will receive no proceeds in connection with the liquidation with respect to such rights. The Initial Stockholders and the holders of Private Units will not participate in any distribution with respect to their initial shares and Private Units, including the shares of common stock included in the Private Units. |

|
If the Company is unable to conclude its initial Business Combination and expends all of the net proceeds of the Offering not deposited in the Trust Account, without taking into account any interest earned on the Trust Account, the Company expects that the initial per-share liquidation price shares of common stock will be $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to claims of the Company’s creditors that are in preference to the claims of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, if the Company is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of the Company’s ordinary stockholders. Therefore, the actual per-share liquidation price may be less than $10.00. |
