Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying balance sheet is presented in U.S. dollars and has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC.
Liquidity
As of November 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $64,000 in its operating bank account, approximately $51,000 of interest income held in the Trust Account available to be released to the Company, and working capital of approximately $302,000.
Through November 30, 2016, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of approximately $686,000 from the sale of the Units held outside of the Trust Account upon closing of the Initial Public Offering, $25,000 from the sale of the insider shares (as described in Note 6), advances from a director in an aggregate amount of $139,000, which was repaid on December 1, 2015 from the proceeds received upon closing of the Initial Public Offering, and interest released from the Trust Account of approximately $103,000 to the Company in June 2016 for working capital purposes.
If needed to finance transaction costs in connection with searching for a target business or consummating an intended initial Business Combination, the Initial Shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. Such loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $500,000 of the notes may be converted upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination into additional Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 57,142 Ordinary Shares if $500,000 of notes were so converted as the rights included in the Units would result in an additional 7,142 shares being issued, as well as 50,000 Warrants to purchase 25,000 Ordinary Shares). In February 2017, one of the Company’s directors and non-executive Chairman of the Board agreed to loan the Company up to $50,000 for working capital purposes. To date, the Company has not borrowed any amount under such loan.
Based on the foregoing management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet the Company’s needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or June 1, 2017 (or September 1, 2017 if we have entered into a letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or definitive agreement with a target business for a business combination by June 1, 2017 and a business combination has not yet been consummated by such date). The Company anticipates that its uses of cash until September 1, 2017 will be approximately $234,000 of expenses for the search for target businesses and for the legal, accounting and other third-party expenses attendant to the due diligence investigations, structuring and negotiating of a Business Combination.
