For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we had net income of approximately $810,000, which consisted of approximately $913,000 in interest income, offset by approximately $103,000 in general and administrative costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had net income of approximately $1.7 million, which consisted of approximately $2.0 million in interest income, offset by approximately $370,000 in general and administrative costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As indicated in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, at September 30, 2018, we had approximately $593,000 in our operating bank account, approximately $2.0 million of interest income available in the Trust Account to pay for taxes, and working capital of approximately $703,000.
Through September 30, 2018, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through receipt of a $25,000 capital contribution from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares to the Sponsor, $325,000 in loans from the Sponsor, and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. We fully repaid the loans from the Sponsor on February 20, 2018.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable and deferred underwriting commissions), to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest income (if any) to pay our income taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. We expect the interest income earned on the amount in the Trust Account (if any) will be sufficient to pay our income taxes. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial 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.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

Founder Shares
On December 8, 2017, the Sponsor purchased 8,625,000 shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, for an aggregate price of $25,000. In February 2018, the Sponsor effected a surrender of 2,875,000 Founder Shares to us for no consideration, resulting in a decrease in the total number of Founder Shares from 8,625,000 to 5,750,000. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of our initial Business Combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions. The Sponsor had agreed to forfeit up to 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriter. On March 29, 2018, the over-allotment option expired and an aggregate of 750,000 shares were subsequently forfeited by the Sponsor.
The Sponsor and our officers and directors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days withinany 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
