Note
1 — Organization and Plan of Business Operations
Organization
and General
E-compass
Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Cayman Islands on September 23, 2014 as a blank check company
whose objective is to enter into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization
or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”).
The
Company’s securities were listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) in connection with the Public Offering
(defined below). Pursuant to the NASDAQ listing rules, the Company’s initial Business Combination must be with a target
business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the trust account (exclusive
of taxes payable on the income earned on the funds held in the trust account and deferred underwriting commissions) at the time
of the execution of a definitive agreement for such Business Combination, although this may entail simultaneous acquisitions of
several target businesses. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to effectuate a Business Combination successfully.
Financing
The
registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Offering” as described in Note
3) was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 12, 2015. The
Company consummated the Public Offering of 4,000,000 units on August 18, 2015 at $10.00 per unit (the “Public Units’)
and sold to an affiliate of the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 310,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Private
Units”) in a private placement (Note 4). The Company received net proceeds of approximately $41,900,000 from the Public
Offering and private placement.
In
connection with the Public Offering, the Company introduced the underwriter in the Public Offering to investors (“Lead Investors”)
that purchased $20,000,000 of the units offered in the Public Offering. The Lead Investors have waived their right to receive
$0.40 per share purchased by them in the Public Offering in the event they seek to redeem such shares into cash held in the trust
account described below in connection with an initial Business Combination or upon liquidation if the Company is unable to consummate
an initial Business Combination within the required time period so that other holders of shares sold in the Public Offering (“Public
Shareholders”) will receive at least $10.40 per share purchased by them in the Public Offering (“Public Shares”)
upon redemption or liquidation.
Trust
Account
Upon
the closing of the Public Offering and the private placement, $40,800,000 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”)
with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The funds held in the Trust Account can be invested in
United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes, having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting
certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the
Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within
18 months from the closing of the Public Offering. Placing funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party
claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses
or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the
Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such agreements. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the
Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing
general and administrative expenses. Additionally, the interest earned on the Trust Account balance may be released to the Company
to fund working capital requirements as well as to pay the Company’s tax obligations.
Business
Combination
The
Company’s efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location
although the Company initially intends to focus on target businesses in the People’s Republic of China that operate in the
e-commerce and consumer retail industry. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect
an initial Business Combination.
The
Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination, is required to provide Public Shareholders
with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata share of the Trust Account. The Company will only
consummate such Business Combination if it has at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon close of such
Business Combination. However, the Lead Investor has agreed to hold at least 1,000,000 Public Shares through the consummation
of an initial Business Combination, vote such shares in favor of such proposed initial Business Combination and not seek
redemption with respect to such shares in connection therewith. As a result, the Company expects to meet the $5,000,001 net
tangible asset requirement in order to complete an initial Business Combination. In addition, the holders of the 1,000,000
ordinary shares purchased prior to the Company’s Public Offering (“Initial Shareholders”) will vote any
shares they then hold in favor of any proposed initial Business Combination and will waive any redemption rights with respect
to these shares and the shares underlying the Private Units pursuant to letter agreements executed prior to the Public
Offering.
In
connection with any proposed Business Combination, the Company will seek shareholder approval of an initial Business Combination
at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for
or against the proposed Business Combination. Any Public Shareholder voting either for or against such proposed Business Combination
will be entitled to demand that his Public Shares be redeemed into a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account
(initially approximately $10.40 per share or $10.00 per share for the Lead Investors), including any pro rata interest earned
on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company or necessary to pay its taxes. Rights sold as
part of the Units (“Rights”) will not be entitled to vote on the proposed Business Combination and will have no redemption or liquidation rights.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company in effect upon consummation of the Public
Offering provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate or other person with whom such Public Shareholder is
acting in concert or as a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended), will
be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to an aggregate of more than 20% of the ordinary shares sold in the
Public Offering (but only with respect to the amount over 20% of the ordinary shares sold in the Public Offering). A “group”
will be deemed to exist if Public Shareholders (i) file a Schedule 13D or 13G indicated the presence of a group or (ii) acknowledge
to the Company that they are acting, or intend to act, as a group.
Liquidation
Pursuant
to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in effect upon consummation of the Public Offering, if
the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering, it
will trigger the Company’s automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation. As a result, this has the same effect as if
the Company had formally gone through a voluntary liquidation procedure under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands. Accordingly,
no vote would be required from the Company’s shareholders to commence such a voluntary winding up, dissolution and liquidation.
If the Company is unable to consummate an initial Business Combination and is liquidated, each holder will receive a full pro
rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account
and not previously released to the Company or necessary to pay any of its taxes. Holders of Rights will receive no proceeds in
connection with the liquidation with respect to such rights. The Initial Shareholder and the holders of Private Units will not
participate in any redemption distribution with respect to their initial shares and Private Units, including the ordinary shares
included in the Private Units.
If
the Company is unable to conclude its initial Business Combination and expends all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering
not deposited in the Trust Account, without taking into account any interest earned on the Trust Account, the Company expects
that the initial per-share redemption price for ordinary shares will be $10.40 for Public Shareholders and $10.00 for the Lead
Investor. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to claims of the Company’s creditors
that are in preference to the claims of the Company’s shareholders. In addition, if the Company is forced to file a bankruptcy
case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could
be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties
with priority over the claims of the Company’s common shareholders. Therefore, the actual per-share redemption price may
be reduced.
The
Company will pay the costs of any subsequent liquidation from the remaining assets outside of the Trust Account. If such funds
are insufficient, Richard Xu, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Chen Liu, the Company’s President, have agreed
to pay the funds necessary to complete such liquidation (currently anticipated not to exceed $15,000) and have agreed not to seek
repayment of such expenses.
Emerging
Growth Company
Section
102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) permits emerging growth companies to
delay complying with new or revised financial accounting standards that do not yet apply to 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). 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 an 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.
Note
2 — Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
financial statements as of September 30, 2015, for the three month period and nine month period ended September 30, 2015 are unaudited.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring adjustments) have been made that are necessary to present fairly the financial position, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows. Operating results as presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
a full year.
The
Company had no activity for the period from September 23, 2014 (date of inception) to September 30, 2014. The condensed statements
of operations and condensed statements of cash flow for the comparative period from September 23, 2014 to September 30, 2014 are
not presented.
Development
Stage Company
The
Company complies with the reporting requirements of FASB ASC Topic 915, “Development Stage Entities” and early adopted
Accounting Standards Update 2014-10 (“ASU 2014-10”). On September 30, 2015, the Company has not commenced any operations
nor generated revenue to date. All activity from the inception through September 30, 2015 relates to the Company formation, the
Public Offering and pursuit of an acquisition target for its initial Business Combination. Following such offering, the Company
will not generate operating revenues until after completion of a Business Combination, at earliest. The Company will generate
non-operating income in the form of interest income on the designated Trust Account.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution,
which at times, may exceed the U.S. 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.
Securities
Held in Trust Account
Investment
securities consist of United States Treasury securities. The Company classifies its securities as held-to-maturity in accordance
with FASB ASC Topic 320 “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities
which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized
cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.
A
decline in the market value of held-to-maturity securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in an
impairment that reduces the carrying costs to such securities' fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost
basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers whether
it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the
cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the
reasons for the impairment, the severity and the duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year-end, forecasted
performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry the investee operates in.
Premiums
and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using
the effective-interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in the “other income” line item in the
statements of operations. Other income is recognized when earned.
Fair
Value Measurements
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 820, “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet. The fair values
of cash and cash equivalents, and other current assets, accrued expenses, and deferred underwriting compensation are estimated
to approximate the carrying values as of September 30, 2015 due to the short maturities of such instruments.
The
following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring
basis as of September 30, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine
such fair value.

Offering
Costs
The
Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A - “Expenses
of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet
date that are related to the Public Offering and that were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Public
Offering.
Redeemable
Ordinary Shares
All
of the 4,000,000 common shares sold as part of the units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for
the redemption of common shares under the Company’s Liquidation or Shareholder Approval provisions. In accordance with ASC
480, such provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity.
Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are
excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides
that in no event will it allow redemption of Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (shareholders’
equity) to be less than $5,000,001. Further, the Lead Investor holding 1,000,000 Public Units (which includes 1,000,000 shares),
has agreed to hold 1,000,000 common shares through the consummation of an initial Business Combination, vote such shares in favor
of such proposed initial Business Combination and not seek redemption of such common shares. Accordingly, at September 30, 2015,
3,000,000 of the 4,000,000 Public Shares were classified outside of permanent equity at its redemption value.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US 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.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred
tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets
and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally
requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets
will not be realized.
ASC
740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest
and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. The Company has identified Cayman Islands as its only
“major” tax jurisdiction, as defined. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are
no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. Since the Company was
incorporated on September 23, 2014, the evaluation was performed for 2014 tax year which is the only period subject to
examination. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate
any adjustments that would result in a material changes to its financial position. The Company’s policy for recording interest
and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.
Loss
Per Common Share
Basic
net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted
to include any dilutive effect from ordinary share equivalents. In the periods where losses are reported, there were no dilutive
effect from ordinary share equivalents. As a result, dilutive loss per ordinary share is equal to basic loss per ordinary share
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material
effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Note
3 —Public Offering
On
August 18, 2015, the Company sold 4,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit in the Public Offering. Each Public Unit
consists of one ordinary share of the Company, $0.0001 par value per share, and one Right. Each Right entitles the holder to receive
one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. In addition, the Company has granted
Cantor Fitzgerald& Co., the underwriter of the Public Offering, a 45-day option to purchase up to 600,000 Public Units solely
to cover over-allotments, if any. On October 2, 2015, the over-allotment expired unexercised.
If
the Company does not complete its Business Combination within the necessary time period described in Note 1, the Rights will expire
and be worthless. Since the Company is not required to net cash settle the Rights and the Rights are exercisable upon the consummation
of an initial Business Combination, management determined that the Rights are classified within shareholders’ equity as
“Additional paid-in capital” upon their issuance in accordance with ASC 815-40. The proceeds from the sale are allocated
to Public Shares and Rights based on the relative fair value of the securities in accordance with ASC 470-20-30. The value of
the Public Shares and Rights are based on the offering price paid by investors.
The
Company paid an upfront underwriting discount of $1,200,000 (3.0%) of the offering price to the underwriter at the closing of
the Public Offering. In addition, the Company is committed to pay the deferred discount in the amount of $600,000 to the underwriter
upon consummation of the Company’s Business Combination (See Note 6). Such underwriting discount was accounted for as offering
costs and charged to shareholders equity upon the completion of the Public Offering.
The
Company also sold to the underwriter and/or its designees, at the time of the closing of the Public Offering, for an aggregate
of $100.00, an option (“Unit Purchase Option” or “UPO”) to purchase 300,000 Units. The UPO will be exercisable
at any time, in whole or in part, during the period commencing on the later of August 12, 2016 and the closing of the Company’s
initial Business Combination and terminating on the fifth anniversary of the effective date (August 12, 2020) at a price per Unit
equal to $10.00. Accordingly, after the Business Combination, the purchase option will be to purchase 330,000 ordinary shares
(which includes 30,000 ordinary shares to be issued for the rights included in the units). The Units issuable upon exercise of
this option are identical to the Public Units in the Offering. The Company accounted for the fair value of the UPO, inclusive
of the receipt of a $100.00 cash payment, as an expense of the Offering resulting in a charge of approximately $561,000 directly
to shareholders’ equity.
Note
4 — Related Party Transactions
Notes
Payable to Initial Shareholder
The
Company issued a $115,000 principal amount unsecured promissory note to Lodestar Investment Holdings I LLC, an affiliate of the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer, on October 31, 2014. In April 2015, Lodestar Investment Holdings I LLC loaned the Company
an additional $50,000. The notes are non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) October 31, 2015, (ii) the consummation
of the Public Offering or (iii) the date on which the Company determines not to proceed with the Public Offering. Due to the short-term
nature of the notes, the fair value of the notes approximates the carrying amount. The notes were repaid on August 26, 2015.
Private
Placement
Upon
the closing of the Public Offering, Lodestar Investment Holdings I LLC purchased 310,000 Private Units at $10.00 per unit (for
an aggregate purchase price of $3,100,000) from the Company. All of the proceeds received from the sale of the Private Units have
been placed in the Trust Account. The Private Units are identical to the Public Units, except that the holder has agreed (i) to
vote the ordinary shares included therein in favor of any proposed Business Combination, (ii) not to propose, or vote in favor
of, an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association with respect to pre-Business
Combination activities prior to the consummation of such a Business Combination unless the Company offers dissenting holders the
right to get their pro rata portion of the Trust Account, (iii) not to redeem any ordinary shares included therein into the right
to receive cash for the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the proposed initial Business Combination
and (iv) that the ordinary shares included therein shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a
Business Combination is not consummated. Additionally, the holder has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private
Units or underlying securities (except to certain permitted transferees) until the completion of the initial Business Combination.
Expense
Advance Agreement
All
expenses incurred by the Company prior to an initial Business Combination may be paid only from the net proceeds of the Public
Offering and related private placements not held in the Trust Account.
Thus,
in order to meet the Company’s working capital needs following the consummation of the Public Offering if the funds not
held in the Trust Account and interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account available to the Company are insufficient,
the Company’s officers, directors or Initial Shareholders or their respective 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. Each
loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. Up to $500,000 of the notes may, at the lender’s discretion, be redeemed upon consummation of an initial Business Combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit (“Working
Capital Units”). The Company’s directors and shareholders have approved the issuance of the Working Capital Units
upon redemption of such notes, to the extent the holder wishes to so redeem them at the time of the consummation of an initial
Business Combination. If the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination, the loans will only be repaid with funds
not held in the Trust Account, to the extent available.
Note
5 – Cash and Investment held in Trust Account
As
of September 30, 2015, investment securities in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $40,803,501 in United States Treasury
Bills and $647 in cash. The Company classifies its United States Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance
with FASB ASC 320 “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded
at amortized cost on the accompanying September 30, 2015 balance sheet and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums
or discounts. The carrying value, excluding gross unrealized holding gain and fair value of held to maturity securities on September

6 — Commitments
Deferred
Underwriter Fees
The
Company is committed to pay the deferred discount of 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds, in the amount of $600,000 of the Public
Offering, to the underwriter upon the Company’s consummation of the Business Combination. The underwriter is not entitled
to any interest accrued on the deferred discount, and no deferred discount is payable to the underwriter if there is no Business
Combination.
Registration
Rights
The
Initial Shareholders and the holder of the Private Units (or underlying ordinary shares) will be entitled to registration rights
with respect to the initial shares, the Private Units and any Working Capital Units issued (or underlying ordinary shares) pursuant
to an agreement signed on the effective date of the Public Offering. The holders of the majority of the initial shares are entitled
to demand that the Company register these shares at any time commencing three months prior to the first anniversary of the consummation
of a Business Combination. The holders of the Private Units and Working Capital Units (or underlying ordinary shares) are entitled
to demand that the Company register these securities at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition,
the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed after the Company’s
consummation of a Business Combination.
Note
7 — Shareholders’ Equity
Preferred
Shares
The
Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights
and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2015, there
are no preferred shares issued or outstanding.
Ordinary
Shares
The
Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of September 30, 2015, there
were 2,460,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding excluding 3,000,000 shares subject to possible redemption.
In
connection with the organization of the Company, a total of 1,150,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares were sold to the
Initial Shareholders at a price of approximately $0.02 per share for an aggregate of $25,000. 150,000 shares of the 1,150,000
shares are subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full so
that the Company’s Initial Shareholders will own 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Public Offering,
excluding ordinary shares included in the Private Units. On October 2, 2015, the overallotment expired without any of the balance
being exercised. As a result, 150,000 shares have been forfeited.
All
of these shares were placed into an escrow account on the effective date of the Public Offering. Subject to certain limited exceptions,
these shares will not be released from escrow until with respect to 50% of the shares, the earlier of one year after the date
of the consummation of an initial Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the ordinary shares exceeds
$13.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of an initial Business Combination
and, with respect to the remaining 50% of the shares, one year after the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination,
or earlier if, subsequent to the Company’s initial Business Combination, the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation,
merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right
to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current
expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different
from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,”
“would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,”
“continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to
such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
filings. References to “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” are to E-compass
Acquisition Corp., except where the context requires otherwise. The following discussion should be read in conjunction
with our condensed financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We
are a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated as a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a share exchange,
asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses
or entities, or entering into contractual arrangements that give us control over such a target business.
We
presently have no revenue, have had losses since inception from incurring formation costs and have no other operations other than
the active solicitation of a target business with which to complete a business combination. We have relied upon the
sale of our securities and loans from our officers and directors to fund our operations.
We
consummated our initial public offering of 4,000,000 units on August 18, 2015 generating gross proceeds of $40,000,000 (“Initial
Public Offering” or “IPO”) and on the same date, a private placement (“Private Placement”) to Lodestar
Investment Holdings I LLC (“Lodestar”), an affiliate of Richard Xu, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, of
310,000 units, generating additional proceeds of $3,100,000 (“Private Units”). Of such proceeds, an aggregate of $40,800,000
was placed in the Company’s trust account.
Our
management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the offering and the Private Placement,
although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally towards consummating a business combination
successfully.
Results
of Operations
Our
entire activity from inception through August 18, 2015 was in preparation for our initial public offering, which was consummated
on August 18, 2015. Since the offering, our activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates, and
we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination. We expect
to generate small amounts of non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. Interest income
is not expected to be significant in view of current low interest rates on risk-free investments (treasury securities). We expect
to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance),
as well as for due diligence expenses. We expect our expenses to increase substantially after this period.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2015, we had net losses of $17,730, which consist of formation and operating costs partially
offset by interest income generated from the Trust Account. The interest income generated from Trust Account is $4,148. General
and administrative expenses are $21,878.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we had net losses of $18,068, which consist of formation and operating costs partially
offset by interest income generated from the Trust Account. The interest income generated from Trust Account is $4,148. General
and administrative expenses are $22,216.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of September 30, 2015, we had cash of $560,724 outside of our trust account and $14,034 of accrued liabilities.
In addition, we had $40,804,148 in restricted cash and equivalents in our trust account, of which, $4,148 of interest income may
be released to us in order to fund working capital requirements or tax payments. We intend to use the remainder of the proceeds
not held in the trust account plus the interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to us to fund
our operations.
We
intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the offering, including the funds held in the trust account, to acquire
a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto. 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.
We
anticipate that the approximately $560,000 outside of our trust account, plus the interest earned on the trust account balance
(net of income, and other tax obligations) that may be released to us to fund our working capital requirements (which we anticipate
will be approximately $35,000 assuming an interest rate of approximately 0.05% per year), will be sufficient to allow us to operate
for at least the next 12 months, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. Over this time period,
we will be using these funds for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence
on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses,
reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire
and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination. We anticipate that we will incur approximately:
|
● |
$250,000 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; |
|
|
|
|
● |
$100,000 of expenses for the due diligence
and investigation of a target business by our officers, directors and initial shareholders; |
|
|
|
|
● |
$100,000 of expenses in legal and accounting
fees relating to our SEC reporting obligations; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
$100,000 for general working capital that will
be used for miscellaneous expenses, liquidation obligations and reserves, including director and officer liability insurance
premiums. |
If
our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial business combination is less than
the actual amount necessary to do so, or the amount of interest available to us from the trust account is less than we expect
as a result of the current interest rate environment, 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. Following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need
to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2015.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As
of September 30, 2015, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of the our
Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the trust account, may be 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 US treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure
to interest rate risk.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end
of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during
the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter of 2015 covered by this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

The
foregoing issuances were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
On
August 18, 2015, we consummated our IPO of 4,000,000 units. Each unit consisted of one ordinary share and one right to receive
one-tenth of one ordinary share upon consummation of a business combination. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00
per unit, generating gross proceeds of $40,000,000. Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. acted as the lead managing underwriter of the
IPO. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No.
333-204054). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on August 12, 2015.
Simultaneous
with the consummation of the IPO, we consummated the Private Placement of 310,000 Private Units to Lodestar at a price of $10.00
per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $3,100,000. This issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration
contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The
Private Units are identical to the units sold in the Offering. The holders of the Private Units have agreed (A) to vote the
ordinary shares included in the Private Units (“Private Shares”) in favor of any proposed business combination, (B)
not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association with respect
to our pre-business combination activities prior to the consummation of such a business combination unless we provide dissenting
public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares into the right to receive cash from our trust account
in connection with any such vote, (C) not to redeem any Private Shares into the right to receive cash from the trust account
in connection with a shareholder vote to approve our proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of
our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination
activity and (D) that such Private Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business
combination is not consummated within the required time period. Additionally, the purchasers have agreed not to transfer, assign
or sell any of the Private Units (except to certain permitted transferees) until the completion of our initial business combination.
Of
the gross proceeds received from the IPO and Private Placement, $40,800,000 was placed in trust account.
We
paid a total of $1,200,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $525,639 for other costs and expenses related to our
formation and the IPO.
For
a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our IPO, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
