We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our Initial Business Combination will be successful. If we are unable to complete its initial business combination within 15 months from the date of the IPO, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining holders of ordinary shares and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the founder shares and Private Units will not participate in any redemption distribution with respect to their founder shares or Private Units, until all of the claims of any redeeming shareholders and creditors are fully satisfied (and then only from funds held outside the Trust Account).

In order to meet our working capital needs following the consummation of the IPO, our initial shareholders, officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in amount they

If our estimates of the costs of undertaking due diligence and negotiating our initial 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 initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial business combination or because we become obligated to convert a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial 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 consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of our initial business combination. Following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
The Company performed an assessment on its ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board's Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-15, "Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern". There is no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate the initial business combination within 15 months from the date of the IPO. In the event that the Company fails to consummate business combination within the required period, the Company will face mandatory liquidation and dissolution subject to certain obligations under applicable laws or regulations. This uncertainty raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability as a going concern one year from the date the financial statement is issued. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities regarding the possibility of the Company not continuing as a going concern, as a result of failing to consummate business combination within 15 months from the date of the IPO. Management plans to continue its efforts to consummate a business combination within 15 months from the date of the IPO.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Offering Costs Associated with the IPO
Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses
incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the IPO.
As of
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in
accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from
Equity." Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified
as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally
redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary 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, ordinary shares are
classified as shareholders' equity. The Company's ordinary shares feature
certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company's
control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of

Table of Contents
Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals zero.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. We then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders.
As of
Warrants
The Company evaluates the public and private warrants as either
equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of
the warrants' specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in
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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered
off-balance sheet arrangements as of

our initial business combination. In the event that we do not close a business combination, the representative underwriter has agreed to waive its right to receive the fee.
Registration Rights
The initial shareholders are entitled to registration rights with respect to their initial shares and the Private Units. Holders of any securities issued to our initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates in payment of working capital loans or extension loans made to us will also be entitled to registration rights with respect to the Private Units (and underlying securities) issued in connection therewith pursuant to an agreement signed on the effective date of the IPO. The holders of such securities are entitled to demand that we register these securities at any time after we consummate a business combination. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights on registration statements filed after our consummation of a business combination.
