Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in
The issuance of additional shares of capital stock in connection with our initial business combination:
? may significantly dilute the equity interest of our stockholders who would not
have pre-emption rights in respect of any such issuance;
? may subordinate the rights of holders of shares of common stock if we issue
shares of preferred stock with rights senior to those afforded to our shares
of common stock;
? could cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of
common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to
use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the
resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;
? may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by
diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain
control of us; and
? may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities.
19
Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt, it could result in:
? default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an
initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;
? acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all
principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that
require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a
waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
? our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the
debt security is payable on demand;
? our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security
contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the
debt security is outstanding;
? using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on
our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common
stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and
acquisitions, and fund other general corporate purposes;
? limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our
business and in the industry in which we operate;
? increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and
competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and
? limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our
strategy, and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our
competitors who have less debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete an initial business combination will be successful.

and the Over-Allotment Private Units), a total of
We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO and the private placement, including the funds held in the Trust Account, in connection with our initial business combination and to pay our expenses relating thereto, including deferred underwriting discounts and commissions payable to the underwriters in the IPO in an amount equal to 3.75% of the total gross proceeds raised in the IPO upon consummation of our initial business combination. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business' operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders' fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
As of
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with searching for a target
business or consummating the initial business combination, our initial
stockholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated
to, loan us funds as may be required. In the event that the initial business
combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held
outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from the
Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Such loans would be evidenced by
promissory notes. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of our
initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender's discretion,
up to

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following the IPO in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth 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 redeem 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. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Right of First Refusal
Subject to certain conditions, we granted Chardan, for a period of 18 months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, a right of first refusal to act as a book-running manager or placement agent, with at least 30% of the economics, for any and all future public and private equity, equity linked and debt offerings by us or any of our successors or subsidiaries. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(6)(A), such right of first refusal shall not have a duration of more than three years from the commencement of sales of this offering.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to
access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being
applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily
and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these
securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 - Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar
assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not
active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted
prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived
principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other
means.
Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the
overall fair value measurement.
The fair value of the Company's certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as
financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures," approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated
balance sheet. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, and other current
assets, accrued expenses, due to sponsor are estimated to approximate the
carrying values as of
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders' equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity section of our condensed balance sheets. We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of shares of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company complies 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 re-measurement of the accretion to redemption value of the common shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders.
Offering Costs
Offering costs were consisting principally of underwriting, legal, accounting
and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to
the IPO and were charged to stockholders' equity upon the completion of the IPO.
