MARCH 31, 2020

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

HL Acquisitions Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on February 23, 2018. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements with, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company is focusing on businesses that have their primary operations in the hydrocarbon logistics and processing industries.

 

All activity through March 31, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, searching for a Business Combination candidate and activities in connection with the announced and subsequently terminated acquisition of Chi Energie (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., a limited private company organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of Singapore (“Chi”).

 

On December 17, 2019, the Company entered into Sale and Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) by and among the Company, Chi, and Sila Energy Holding Limited, the sole shareholder of Chi (“Seller”), which is affiliated with Ajay Khandelwal, one of the directors of the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, Seller agreed to sell to the Company all of the outstanding equity interests of Chi in exchange for ordinary shares and warrants of the Company (the “Chi Business Combination”). On March 30, 2020, the Company and the Seller agreed to mutually terminate the Agreement. In connection with the termination, each party released the other from all claims relating to the Agreement. The parties determined to terminate the Agreement due to the current extraordinary market conditions surrounding the industry in which Chi is intending to operate and not as a result of any change in the parties’ belief in Chi’s ultimate success.

 

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on June 27, 2018. On July 2, 2018, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 5,500,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which included a partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $55,000,000, which is described in Note 4.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 2,375,000 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to certain of the Company’s shareholders prior to the Initial Public Offering (“Initial Shareholders”), generating gross proceeds of $2,375,000, which is described in Note 5.

 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on July 2, 2018, an amount of $55,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) which may be invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

 

Transaction costs relating to the Initial Public Offering amounted to $1,879,265, consisting of $1,375,000 of underwriting fees and $504,265 of other costs. In addition, as of March 31, 2020, cash of $49,561 was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes.

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and sale of the Private Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

  

  

HL ACQUISITIONS CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2020

(Unaudited)

  

The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($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 to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s rights or warrants. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

 

The Initial Shareholders have agreed (a) to vote any ordinary shares owned by them in favor of a Business Combination, (b) not to redeem any ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination or any amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, (c) not to sell any ordinary shares to the Company in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination and (d) that the ordinary shares held by the Initial Shareholders prior to the Initial Public Offering (“Founder Shares”) will not participate in any liquidating distribution from the Trust Account upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated.

 

The Company initially had until January 2, 2020 to consummate a Business Combination.

 

On January 2, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter”) to extend the period of time for which the Company is required to consummate a Business Combination to March 2, 2020. The number of ordinary shares presented for redemption in connection with the extension was 275,984. The Company paid cash in the aggregate amount of $2,851,457, or approximately $10.33 per share, to redeeming stockholders. The Company deposited $0.03 for each Public Share outstanding that was not converted, or an aggregate of $313,441 into the Trust Account for the extension period.

 

On March 2, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved an additional amendment to its Charter to extend the period of time for which the Company is required to consummate a Business Combination to July 2, 2020 (the “Extended Date”). The number of ordinary shares presented for redemption in connection with the extension was 126,000. The Company paid cash in the aggregate amount of $1,312,859, or approximately $10.42 per share, to redeeming stockholders. The Company deposited $0.03 for each Public Share outstanding that was not converted, or an aggregate of $305,881 into the Trust Account for the first 60-day extension period. The Company now has until July 2, 2020 to consummate a Business Combination (the “Extended Date”).

 

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by the Extended Date (and the Company’s shareholders do not approve an additional amendment to its Charter to further extend the time to consummate a Business Combination), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including 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 remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than $10.00 per share.

 

In order to protect the amount held in the Trust Account, an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below $10.00 per ordinary share, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, such affiliate will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that such affiliate will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. However, there is no assurance that such agreements will be obtained or that the amounts held in the Trust Account will not be reduced.

 

NASDAQ Notification

 

On February 14, 2020, the Company received a notice from the Staff stating that the Company was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(3) for continued listing due to its failure to maintain a minimum of 300 public holders. The notice is a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company's securities on Nasdaq. The Company submitted a plan to regain compliance within the required timeframe. If Nasdaq accepts the Company's plan, Nasdaq may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notice to evidence compliance with the Rule. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company's plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the decision in front of a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

NOTE 2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $49,561 in its operating bank accounts, $53,534,335 in marketable securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its Public Shares in connection therewith and working capital deficit of $702,326. As of March 31, 2020, approximately $1,942,000 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is available to pay the Company’s tax obligations, if any.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued unsecured convertible promissory notes to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Company borrowed an aggregate of $533,619.

 

On March 24, 2020, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, director and persons and entities affiliated with the Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Company borrowed an aggregate of $716,381.

 

On April 30, 2020, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, director and persons and entities affiliated with the Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Company borrowed an aggregate of $292,316.

 

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating target businesses, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar location of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses and structuring, negotiating and completing a Business Combination.

 

The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or its officers or directors. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor, or their affiliates, may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through July 2, 2020, which is the date the Company is required cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up if it has not completed a Business Combination (and such date is not further extended as described above). These condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Emerging growth company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of condensed 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 and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.

 

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 did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

 

Marketable securities held in Trust Account

 

At March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in U. S. Treasury Bills.

 

Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption

 

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption 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, at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

Income taxes

 

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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. The Company’s management determined that the British Virgin Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. 

  

The Company’s tax provision is zero because the Company is organized in the British Virgin Islands with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction. As such, the Company has no deferred tax assets. The Company is considered to be an exempted British Virgin Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the British Virgin Islands or the United States.

 

Net loss per ordinary share

 

Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption at March 31, 2020 and 2019, which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic loss per share since such ordinary shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. The Company has not considered the effect of (1) warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase 7,875,000 ordinary shares, (2) rights sold in the Initial Public Offering that convert into 550,000 ordinary shares and (3) 250,000 ordinary shares, warrants to purchase 250,000 ordinary shares and rights that convert into 25,000 ordinary shares in the unit purchase option sold to the underwriter, in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants, the conversion of the rights into ordinary shares and the exercise of the unit purchase option is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.

  

Reconciliation of net loss per ordinary share

 

The Company’s net income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, as these shares only participate in the earnings of the Trust Account and not the income or losses of the Company. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per ordinary share is calculated as follows:

 

		Three Months Ended March 31,								Nine Months Ended March 31,
		2020				2019				2020				2019
Net income		$	2,364			$	257,118			$	121,983			$	633,807
Less: Income attributable to ordinary shares subject to possible redemption			(211,488	)			(321,504	)			(713,488	)			(858,026	)
Adjusted net loss			(209,124	)			(64,386	)			(591,505	)			(224,219	)
Weighted average ordinary shares outstanding, basic and diluted			1,983,782				1,927,719				1,960,905				1,915,064
Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share		$	(0.11	)		$	(0.03	)		$	(0.30	)		$	(0.12	)

Concentration of credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed financial statements, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

Recently issued accounting standards

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

 

NOTE 4. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

 

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 5,500,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, which includes a partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 500,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, one right and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (see Note 8).

  

NOTE 5. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

 

Simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering, certain of the Initial Shareholders purchased an aggregate of 2,375,000 Private Warrants, at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $2,375,000. Each Private Warrant is exercisable to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination by the Extended Date (and such date is not further extended as described above), the proceeds from the sale of the Private Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Warrants will expire worthless. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Private Warrants.

 

The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

 

NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Founder Shares

 

In March 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,221,875 Founder Shares to Metropolitan Capital Partners V, LLC, an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“Metropolitan”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in cash. Metropolitan subsequently transferred certain of such Founder Shares to other Initial Shareholders. In June 2018, the Company effected a stock dividend of approximately 0.18 ordinary shares for each outstanding ordinary share, resulting in an aggregate of 1,437,500 Founders Shares outstanding. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 187,500 ordinary shares subject to forfeiture by the Initial Shareholders to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Initial Shareholders would collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering (excluding the Representative Shares (see Note 8)). As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option to purchase 500,000 Units on July 2, 2018 and waiver of the remainder of their over-allotment option, 125,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture and 62,500 Founder Shares were forfeited.

NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Registration Rights

 

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on June 27, 2018, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Warrants and any warrants that may be issued in payment of the Working Capital Loans (and their underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these ordinary shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Warrants and warrants issued to the Initial Shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates in payment of Working Capital Loans made to the Company (including the underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination.

NOTE 8. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Preference Shares — On June 22, 2018, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association such that the Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with no par value and with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. At March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, there were no issued or outstanding preference shares.

 

Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 ordinary shares with no par value. Holders of the Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, there were 2,057,078 and 1,945,194 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 4,504,173 and 5,018,041 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.

  

Rights — Each holder of a right will receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if a holder of such right redeemed all ordinary shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional ordinary shares will be issued upon exchange of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional ordinary shares upon consummation of a Business Combination as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price paid for by investors in the Initial Public Offering. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary shares basis and each holder of rights will be required to affirmatively covert its rights in order to receive 1/10 of an ordinary share underlying each right (without paying additional consideration). The ordinary shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).

 

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by the Extended Date (and such date is not further extended as described above) and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, the rights may expire worthless.

 

Warrants — The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) the consummation of a Business Combination or (b) July 2, 2019. No Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, the holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise the Public Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

The Company may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the Private Warrants), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

 

	●	at any time after the Public Warrants become exercisable,
	●	upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Public Warrant holder,
	●	if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the notice of redemption to Public Warrant holders, and
	●	if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the ordinary shares underlying such warrants.

 

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by the Extended Date (and such date is not further extended as described above) and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Representative Shares

 

At the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company issued 88,235 ordinary shares (the “Representative Shares”) to designees of EarlyBirdCapital. The Company accounted for the Representative Shares as an expense of the Initial Public Offering resulting in a charge directly to shareholders’ equity. The Company estimated that the fair value of Representative Shares was $882,350 based upon the offering price of the Units of $10.00 per Unit. The holders of the Representative Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the holders of the Representative Shares have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by the Extended Date (and such date is not further extended as described above).  

  

Unit Purchase Options

 

On July 2, 2018, the Company sold to designees of EarlyBirdCapital, for $100, options to purchase up to 250,000 Units exercisable at $10.00 per Unit (or an aggregate exercise price of $2,500,000) commencing on the later of June 27, 2019 and the consummation of a Business Combination. The unit purchase options may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holders’ option, and expire June 27, 2023. The Units issuable upon exercise of the options are identical to those offered in the Initial Public Offering. The Company accounted for the unit purchase options, inclusive of the receipt of $100 cash payment, as an expense of the Initial Public Offering resulting in a charge directly to shareholders’ equity. The Company estimated that the fair value of the unit purchase options to be approximately $882,000 (or $3.53 per Unit) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the unit purchase options was estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 35%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 2.75% and (3) expected life of five years. The options grant to holders demand and “piggyback” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective date of the registration statement with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the options. The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions which will be paid for by the holders themselves. The exercise price and number of units issuable upon exercise of the options may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or the Company’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the options will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below the exercise price.

 

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 

 

The Company follows the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

	Level 2:	Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
	Level 3:	Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Recent Developments

 

On January 2, 2020, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter”) to extend the period of time for which we are required to consummate a Business Combination to March 2, 2020. The number of ordinary shares presented for redemption in connection with the extension was 275,984. We paid cash in the aggregate amount of $2,851,457, or approximately $10.33 per share, to redeeming stockholders. We deposited $0.03 for each Public Share that was not converted in connection with the extension, or an aggregate of $313,441, into the Trust Account.

 

On March 2, 2020, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Charter to extend the period of time for which the Company is required to consummate a Business Combination to July 2, 2020. The number of ordinary shares presented for redemption in connection with the extension was 126,000. We paid cash in the aggregate amount of $1,312,859, or approximately $10.42 per share, to redeeming stockholders. We deposited $0.03 for each Public Share outstanding that was not converted, or an aggregate of $305,881 into the Trust Account. We now have until July 2, 2020 to consummate a Business Combination.

 

On December 17, 2019, we entered into Sale and Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) by and among us, Chi Energie (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (“Chi”) and Sila Energy Holding Limited, the sole shareholder of Chi (“Seller”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Seller agreed to sell us all of the outstanding equity interests of Chi in exchange for our ordinary shares and warrants. On March 30, 2020, we and the Seller agreed to mutually terminate the Agreement. In connection with the termination, each party released the other from all claims relating to the Agreement. The parties determined to terminate the Agreement due to the current extraordinary market conditions surrounding the industry in which Chi is intending to operate and not as a result of any change in the parties’ belief in Chi’s ultimate success.

 

NASDAQ Notification

 

On February 14, 2020, we received a notice from the Staff stating that we were no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(3) for continued listing due to its failure to maintain a minimum of 300 public holders. The notice is a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of our securities on Nasdaq. We submitted a plan to regain compliance within the required timeframe. If Nasdaq accepts our plan, Nasdaq may grant us an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notice to evidence compliance with the Rule. If Nasdaq does not accept our plan, we will have the opportunity to appeal the decision in front of a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

 

Overview

 

We are a blank check company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on February 23, 2018 and formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

 

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. All activity through March 31, 2020 relates to our formation, our Initial Public Offering, which was consummated on July 2, 2018, searching for a Business Combination candidate and activities in connection with the announced and subsequently terminated acquisition of Chi. 

  

 

Results of Operations

 

Our only activities from February 23, 2018 (inception) to March 31, 2020 were organizational activities, those necessary to consummate the Initial Public Offering, described below, and our search for a Business Combination candidate. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the Initial Public Offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we had net income of $2,364, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $189,585 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $49,790, offset by operating costs of $237,011.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2020, we had net income of $121,983, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $757,780 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $49,790, offset by operating costs of $685,587.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had net income of $257,118, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $342,683 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $8,918, offset by operating costs of $94,483.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we had net income of $633,807, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $922,253 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $16,096, offset by operating costs of $304,542.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On July 2, 2018, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 5,500,000 Units, which includes a partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 500,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $55,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 2,375,000 Private Placement Warrants to certain of our initial shareholders at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $2,375,000.

  

Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $55,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $1,879,265 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $1,375,000 of underwriting fees and $504,265 of other costs.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2020, cash used in operating activities amounted to $597,298. Net income of $121,983 was offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $757,780 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $49,790. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $88,289 of cash for operating activities.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, cash used in operating activities amounted to $386,953. Net income of $633,807 was offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $922,253 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $16,096. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $82,411 of cash for operating activities.

 

As of March 31, 2020, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $53,534,335. 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) to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay franchise and 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.

  

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our 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 our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, we issued convertible promissory notes to our Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which we borrowed an aggregate amount of $533,619

 

Through March 31, 2020, we issued unsecured promissory notes to our Chief Executive Officer, director and persons and entities affiliated with the Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which we borrowed an aggregate of $716,381.

  

 

On April 30, 2020, we issued the April Notes to our Chief Executive Officer, director and persons and entities affiliated with the Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which we borrowed an aggregate of $292,316. The April Notes are non-interest bearing and payable on the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

As of March 31, 2020, we had cash of $49,561 held outside of the Trust Account and working capital deficit of $702,326. Until the consummation of a Business Combination, we will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination. Our Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates are not under any obligation to advance us funds, or to invest in us. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-balance sheet financing arrangements

 

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2020. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

 

Contractual obligations

 

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than an agreement to pay Metropolitan Capital Partners II, LP, an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and administrative and bookkeeping services to the Company. We began incurring these fees on June 27, 2018 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination and the Company’s liquidation.

 

We have engaged EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EarlyBirdCapital”) as an advisor in connection with a Business Combination to assist us in holding meetings with our shareholders to discuss a potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce us to potential investors that are interested in purchasing securities, assist us in obtaining shareholder approval for the Business Combination and assist us with our press releases and public filings in connection with a Business Combination. We will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of a Business Combination in an amount equal to $2,200,000. In addition to the forgoing fee, we will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee equal to one percent (1.0%) of the total consideration payable in a proposed Business Combination if EarlyBirdCapital introduces us to a target business with which we complete a Business Combination.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

 

Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption

 

We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption 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 our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our condensed balance sheets.

  

 

Net loss per ordinary share

 

We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic net loss per ordinary share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. Our net income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to ordinary shares subject to redemption, as these shares only participate in the earnings of the Trust Account and not our income or losses.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, including amounts in deposited in the Trust Account, have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less, or in certain money market funds that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk when and if the net proceeds are invested in such securities.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

  

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019 filed with the SEC. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

 

Our search for a business combination, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected by the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare community in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.” COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected the economies and financial markets worldwide. The business of any potential target business with which we consummate a business combination could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, we may be unable to complete a business combination if continued concerns relating to COVID-19 restrict travel, limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors or the target company’s personnel, vendors and services providers are unavailable to negotiate and consummate a transaction in a timely manner. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our search for a business combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for an extended period of time, our ability to consummate a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

In March 2018, we issued an aggregate of 1,221,875 ordinary shares (“Founders’ Shares”) to Metropolitan Capital Partners V, LLC pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). The shares were sold at a purchase price of approximately $0.02 per share. Metropolitan Capital Partners V, LLC subsequently transferred certain of the Founders’ Shares to our other initial shareholders for the same price originally paid for such shares. In June 2018, we effected a stock dividend of approximately 0.18 shares for each outstanding share, resulting in our initial shareholders holding an aggregate of 1,437,500 Founders’ Shares. As a result of the underwriters’, election to partially exercise their over-allotment option and waiver of the remainder of their over-allotment option, 62,500 Founder Shares were forfeited.

 

On July 2, 2018, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 5,500,000 units, including 500,000 units which were subject to the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters, with each unit consisting of one ordinary share, one right exchangeable for one-tenth of one ordinary share, and one redeemable warrant exercisable for one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. The units from the initial public offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $55,000,000. EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. acted as sole book-running manager. The securities sold in the Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (Nos. 333-225520 and 225936). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on June 27, 2018.

 

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement of 2,375,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $2,375,000. This issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

The Private Placement Warrants were purchased by certain of our initial shareholders. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants included in the units sold in the Initial Public Offering except that the Private Placement Warrants: (i) are not redeemable by us; and (ii) are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees. Additionally, the purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants have agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of the Private Placement Warrants (except to certain permitted transferees) until the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

 

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and simultaneous private placement of Private Placement Warrants, $55,000,000 was placed in a Trust Account. We incurred a total of $1,375,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and $504,265 for other costs and expenses related to our formation and the Initial Public Offering. 

 

For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
