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, or entering into contractual arrangements that
gives the Company control over such a target business (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 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 gross proceeds of approximately $43,100,000 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 by February
18, 2017. 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 have not been limited to a particular industry or geographic
location. 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 Memorandum and Articles of Association 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.
On
July 25, 2016, the Company entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with, iFresh Inc., a Delaware
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of E-compass, or “iFresh,” iFresh Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation
and wholly owned subsidiary of iFresh, or “Merger Sub,” NYM Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or “NYM,”
the stockholders of NYM, and Long Deng, as representative of the stockholders of NYM. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement,
if the transaction closes, the Company will be merged with and into iFresh in order to redomesticate the Company into Delaware.
After the redomestication, Merger Sub would be merged with and into NYM, resulting in NYM being a wholly owned subsidiary of iFresh.
The transaction would constitute a Business Combination
(See Note 8).
Liquidation
Pursuant
to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association in effect upon consummation of the Public Offering,
if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination by February 18, 2017, 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.
Liquidity
and Going Concern
As
of June 30, 2016, the Company had working capital of approximately $40,553,352, including cash of $231,551 and $40,886,881 million
held in the Trust Account to be used for an initial Business Combination or to redeem its ordinary shares. As of June 30, 2016,
none of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account was available to be withdrawn as described above.
Until
consummation of its initial Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account, plus the
interest earned on the Trust Account balance that may be released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements, 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.
The
Company will need to raise additional capital through loans from its officers, directors, or Initial Shareholders or their
respective affiliates. If the Company’s Initial Shareholders, officers and directors or their affiliates determine to
loan the Company funds, each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation
of an 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 initial Business Combination into additional units (“Working Capital
Units”) at a price of $10.00 per unit. None of officers or directors, Initial Shareholders or their respective
affiliates are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. 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 its business plan, 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. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
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
accompanying unaudited condensed 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”).
The information included in this
Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the 2014 annual report on Form 10-K filed on July 29,
2016. 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.
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 June 30, 2016, the Company has not commenced any operations
nor generated revenue to date. All activity from the inception through June 30, 2016 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 other 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 assets and liabilities (including cash, accrued expenses, and deferred underwriting compensation),
which qualify as financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts represented in the unaudited condensed balance sheets.
The
following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring
basis as of June 30, 2016 and as of March 31, 2016, respectively 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 June 30, 2016 and
March 31, 2016, 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 unaudited
condensed financial statements. 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.
The
Company is incorporated under the Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands and is exempted from Cayman Islands taxes.
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 months ended June 30, 2016 and 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 unaudited condensed 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 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 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.
Accounting
for UPO
The
Company has accounted for the fair value of the UPO, inclusive of the receipt of a $100 cash payment, as an expense of the Offering
resulting in a charge directly to shareholders’ equity. The Company estimates that the fair value of the UPO is approximately
$561,000 (or $1.87 per unit) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the UPO is estimated as of the date
of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 15%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 1.60% and (3) expected
life of five years. The UPO will be exercised on a “cashless” basis, such that the holder may use the appreciated
value of the unit purchase option (the difference between the exercise prices of the UPO and the underlying Rights and the market
price of the Units and underlying ordinary shares) to exercise the UPO without the payment of any cash. The Company will have
no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the UPO or the Rights underlying the UPO. The holder of the UPO will not be entitled
to exercise the UPO unless a registration statement covering the securities underlying the UPO is effective or an exemption from
registration is available. If the holder is unable to exercise the UPO, the UPO will expire worthless.
The
Company granted to the holders of the UPO demand and “piggy back” registration rights for periods of five and seven
years, respectively, from the effective date of the UPO, including securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of
the UPO.
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 Working Capital Units at a price of $10.00 per unit. 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

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 June 30, 2016 and March
31, 2016, 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 June 30, 2016 and March
31, 2016, there were 2,310,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (which includes the 1,000,000 shares the Lead Investor
agreed not to redeem), excluding 3,000,000 issued and outstanding shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.
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.
Share
Transfer of Insider Shares
Jianming
Hao has served as the Company’s special advisor. On December 28, 2015, in exchange for Mr. Hao agreeing to serve as a special
advisor and assisting the Company in consummating an initial Business Combination, two insiders (Richard Xu and Chen Liu, each
an Initial Shareholder) transferred an aggregate of 466,667 insider shares to an affiliate of Mr. Hao for the same per-share price
originally paid by the insiders for such shares (approximately $0.02 per share).
Based
on ASC 505-50-30-6, the value for nonemployee share issuances in exchange for service should be determined based on either
the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more
reliably measurable. The shares were granted (effective on December 28, 2015) and are nonforfeitable. Based on ASC
505-50-25-7 and 505-50-30-15 (measurement date), the Company recognized $2,277,777 of fair value for the shares when they
were paid to Mr. Hao as general and administrative expenses with a corresponding
increase in additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the shares transferred was approximately $4.88 per share using
Monte Carlo Simulation model. The fair value of the shares transferred is estimated as of the payment date using the
following assumptions: (1) probability-weighted discount for lack of marketability of 38.68% and (2) dilution discount of
20%.
The
insider shares are identical to the ordinary shares included in the units being sold in this offering. However, our initial shareholders
have agreed, pursuant to written agreements with us, (A) to vote their insider shares and any public shares acquired in or after
this offering 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 convert their public shares
in connection with any such vote, (C) not to convert any shares (including the insider shares) for 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 the insider shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination
is not consummated. Additionally, our initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the insider shares
(except to certain permitted transferees) until (1) with respect to 50% of the insider shares, the earlier of one year after the
date of the consummation of our initial business combination and the date on which the closing price of our ordinary shares equals
or exceeds $13.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20
trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after our initial business combination and (2) with respect to the remaining
50% of the insider shares, one year after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, or earlier, in either
case, if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar
transaction which results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or
other property.

8 — Subsequent Events
On
July 18, 2016 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year from December 31 to March
31, effective immediately.
On
July 25, 2016, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, if the transaction
closes, the Company will be merged with and into iFresh in order to redomesticate the Company into Delaware. After the redomestication,
Merger Sub would be merged with and into NYM, resulting in NYM being a wholly owned subsidiary of iFresh. The transaction would
constitute a Business Combination.
NYM
is a fast growing Asian/Chinese grocery supermarket chain in the north-eastern U.S. providing food and other merchandise hard
to find in mainstream grocery stores. Since its start in 1995, NYM has been targeting the Chinese and Asian population in the
U.S. with its in-depth cultural understanding of its target customer’s unique consumption habits. NYM currently has two
wholesale facilities and 8 retail supermarkets across New York, Massachusetts and Florida, with an annual revenue of $131.2 million
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. The Company would pay NYM’s current stockholders an aggregate of $125 million
in connection with the transaction: (i) $5 million in cash, plus, (ii) 12,000,000 shares of common stock of iFresh to be issued
to the selling shareholders multiplied by $10.00 (the deemed value of the shares in the Merger Agreement). The transaction is
conditioned on the surviving company receiving a loan of at least $15 million in connection with the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement. If the transaction closes, iFresh would also receive an option to acquire an additional
four supermarkets prior to March 31, 2017 for consideration of $10 million in cash. The transaction is expected to close before
the end of 2016.
