Hambrecht Asia Acquisition Corp.
(a corporation in the development stage)
Notes to Condensed Interim Financial Statements
NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the instructions on the Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been made that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for all periods presented.
The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for a full fiscal year. These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 as reported on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
Hambrecht Asia Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 18, 2007 with an authorized share capital of 50,000,000 ordinary shares (par value $0.001 per share). The Company’s founders contributed $25,000 to the formation of the Company and were issued 1,150,000 ordinary shares. The Company was formed to acquire, through a stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination, one or more operating businesses having its primary operations located in the People’s Republic of China (“Business Combination”). The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting By Development Stage Enterprises”, and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. The Company’s operations, if a Business Combination is consummated outside the United States, will be subject to local government regulations and to the uncertainties of the economic and political conditions of those areas. The Company selected December 31st as its fiscal year end.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had not commenced any operations or generated any revenues. All activity from the period July 18, 2007 (date of inception) through March 31, 2009 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (as described below) and its search for a target business. Subsequent to that date to the present the Company has sought a target business to acquire. The Company will not generate any operating revenue until after the completion of the Business combination, at the earliest. The Company currently generates non-operating income from interest income earned on the investments held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), from the proceeds derived from the public offering.
The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Offering”) described in Note 3 was declared effective on March 7, 2008. The Company consummated the Offering on March 12, 2008 and, immediately prior to such Offering, sold an aggregate of 1,550,000 warrants at $1.00 per warrant to certain officers and affiliates of the Company in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) described in Note 4. On March 31 2008, the underwriters of the Offering exercised their over-allotment option for a total of an additional 239,300 units. The net proceeds of the Offering and the Private Placement are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination with one or more operating businesses having their primary operations in the People’s Republic of China (“Business Combination”). Net proceeds of $33,537,396 from the Offering, including the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option and the Private Placement are held in a Trust Account and will only be released to the Company upon the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a business combination; or (ii) the Company’s liquidation, except to satisfy stockholder conversion rights. The Trust Account includes the deferred underwriting discount from the Offering of up to $1,187,004 which will be paid to the underwriters upon consummation of a business combination, as described in Note 6. Additionally, up to an aggregate of $700,000, plus up to an additional $350,000 during the Extended Period (as described below), if approved by shareholders, of interest earned on the Trust Account balance (net of any taxes paid or payable) may be released to the Company to fund operating activities. Through March 31, 2009, approximately $274,000 of interest earned on the trust account balance has been released to the Company.
5
The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, is required to submit such transaction for shareholder approval. In the event that shareholders owning 30% or more of the shares sold in the Offering vote against the business combination and exercise their conversion rights described below, the business combination will not be consummated. All of the Company’s shareholders prior to the Offering agreed to vote their pre-initial public offering ordinary shares in accordance with the vote of the majority of the shares voted by all shareholders of the Company who purchased their shares in the Offering or the aftermarket (“Public Shareholders”) with respect to any business combination. After consummation of a business combination, these voting agreements will no longer be applicable.
In the event that the Company does not consummate a business combination within 18 months from the date of the consummation of the Offering, or 24 months from the consummation of the Offering if certain extension criteria have been satisfied, or 36 months if such an extension is approved by the shareholders, the Company will be dissolved and the proceeds held in the Trust Account, plus certain interest, less certain costs, will be distributed to the Company’s public shareholders. If the Company has entered into a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement within 18 months following the closing of the Offering, the Company will continue to exist until 24 months from the consummation of the Offering. If the Company has entered into a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement within 18 months following the closing of the Offering and management anticipates that the Company may not be able to consummate a business combination within the 24 months from the date of the closing of the Offering, the Company may seek to extend the time period within which it may complete its business combination to 36 months, by calling a special (or annual) meeting of shareholders for the purpose of soliciting their approval for such extension (the “Extended Period”). If the Company receives Public Shareholder approval for the Extended Period and holders of 30% or more of the shares held by Public Shareholders do not vote against the Extended Period and elect to convert their ordinary shares in connection with the vote for the Extended Period, the Company will then have an additional 12 months in which to complete the initial business combination. If the Extended Period is approved, the Company will still be required to seek Public Shareholder approval before completing a business combination. In the event there is no business combination within the 24-month deadline (assuming the Extended Period is not approved) described above, the Company will dissolve and distribute to its Public Shareholders, in proportion to their respective equity interests, the amount held in the Trust Account, and any remaining net assets, after the distribution of the Trust Account. The Company’s corporate existence will automatically cease at the end of the 36-month period if the Company has not received shareholder approval for an initial business combination. In the event of liquidation, the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) may be less than the initial public offering price per share in the Offering.
With respect to a business combination which is approved and consummated or a vote on the Extended Period which is approved, any Public Shareholders who voted against the business combination or Extended Period may contemporaneously with or prior to such vote exercise their conversion right and their ordinary shares would be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares. The per share conversion price will equal the amount in the Trust Account (including interest therein), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed business combination or vote on Extended Period, divided by the number of ordinary shares sold in the Offering and partial exercise of the over-allotment option.
A Public Shareholder’s election to convert ordinary shares in connection with the vote on the Extended Period will only be honored if the Extended Period is approved. Public Shareholders who vote their shares against the Extended Period and exercise their conversion rights, will not be able to vote these shares with respect to the initial business combination. All other Public Shareholders will be able to vote on the initial business combination.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash equivalents held in the Trust Account:
The amounts held in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2009, represent substantially all of the proceeds of the Offering and exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, and are classified as restricted assets since such amounts can only be used by the Company in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination. The funds held in the Trust Account are invested in a money market fund that invests in U.S. government debt securities.
Fair value of financial instruments:
The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The carrying amounts of financial instruments classified as current assets and current liabilities as disclosed in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income taxes:
Under current Cayman Islands laws, the Company is not subject to income taxes or capital gains, and there is no Cayman Islands withholding tax imposed upon payments of dividends by the Company to its shareholders. In the future, the Company’s tax rate will be impacted by acquisitions of non-Cayman subsidiaries governed by the respective local income tax laws. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying condensed statement of operations.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2009. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2009. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption:
As discussed in Note 1, the Company will only proceed with a Business Combination if: (1) it is approved by a majority of the votes cast by the Company’s public shareholders; and (2) public shareholders holding less than 30% (1,271,788) of the ordinary shares sold in the Offering and exercise of the over-allotment option, choose to exercise their redemption rights thereby receiving their per share interest in the Trust Account. In accordance with FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Topic No. D-98, “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities”, the Company has classified 1,271,788 of its ordinary shares outside of permanent equity as “Ordinary shares subject to redemption,” at an initial redemption price of $7.92. The Company will recognize changes in the conversion value as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the ordinary shares subject to conversion to be equal to its conversion value at the end of each reporting period.

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if warrants were to be exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance of ordinary shares that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, and for the period from July 18, 2007 (inception) to March 31, 2009, the Company had potentially dilutive securities in the form of 7,129,125 warrants, and 5,299,125 warrants issued as part of the Units (as defined below) in the Offering. Of the total warrants outstanding for the periods then ended, approximately 2,366,617 and 1,080,177, respectively, represent incremental ordinary shares, based on their assumed redemption, to be included in the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (not subject to possible redemption) for the calculation of diluted income per ordinary share. The Company uses the “treasury stock method” to calculate potential dilutive shares, as if they were redeemed for ordinary share at the beginning of the period.
The Company’s condensed statement of operations includes a presentation of income per ordinary share subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Basic and diluted income amount for the maximum number of shares subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the net interest attributable to ordinary shares subject to redemption by the weighted average number of shares subject to possible redemption. Basic and diluted net income per share amount for the shares outstanding not subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the net income exclusive of the net interest income attributable to ordinary share subject to redemption by the weighted average number of shares not subject to possible redemption.
Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), which requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors, and other users, all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141R will be effective for acquisitions with a date on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We will apply SFAS 141R for any of our applicable acquisitions beginning January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity; the inclusion of the amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest in consolidated income on the face of the income statement; and a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 will be effective for the fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We will apply SFAS 160 to any applicable transactions beginning January 1, 2009.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”. (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position; however, it could impact future transactions entered into by the Company.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 107-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP 107-1). FSP 107-1 amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. FSP 107-1 also amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP 107-1 shall be effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity may early adopt this FSP if certain requirements are met. This FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The Company expects to adopt this FSP for the quarter ending June 30, 2009 and does not expect the adoption of this FSP to have a material impact on its financial statements.
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction; clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active; eliminates the proposed presumption that all transactions are distressed (not orderly) unless proven otherwise. The FSP instead requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. In addition, FSP FAS 157-4 requires an entity to disclose a change in valuation technique (and the related inputs) resulting from the application of the FSP and to quantify its effects, if practicable. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 if certain requirements are met. It must be applied prospectively and retrospective application is not permitted. The Company expects to adopt this FSP for the quarter ending June 30, 2009 and does not expect the adoption of this FSP to have a material impact on its financial statements.
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” This FSP is intended to bring consistency to the timing of impairment recognition, and provide improved disclosures about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. The measure of impairment in comprehensive income remains fair value. The FSP also requires increased and more timely disclosures regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses. The FSP shall be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Earlier adoption for periods ending before March 15, 2009, is not permitted. If an entity elects to adopt early either FSP FAS 157-4,
Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly
, or FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,
Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
, the entity also is required to adopt early this FSP. Additionally, if an entity elects to adopt early this FSP, it is required to adopt FSP FAS 157-4. This FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but no yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.
NOTE 3—PUBLIC OFFERING
On March 7, 2008, the Company sold 4,000,000 units in the Offering at a price of $8.00 per unit. On March 31, 2008, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 239,300 units which were subject to the over-allotment option. Each unit consists of one of the Company’s ordinary shares, $0.001 par value, and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one of the Company’s ordinary shares at an exercise price of $5.00 per share commencing on the later of: (i) The consummation of the business combination, or (ii) March 7, 2009. The warrants will be exercisable only if the Company continues to provide for an effective registration statement covering the ordinary shares issueable upon exercise of the warrants. In no event will the holder of a warrant be entitled to receive a net cash settlement or other consideration in lieu of physical settlement in the Company’s ordinary shares.
9
The warrants expire on March 7, 2013, unless earlier redeemed. The warrants included in the units sold in the Offering are redeemable, at the Company’s option, in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ notice after the warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the ordinary shares exceeds $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period.
The purchased warrants are recognized in additional paid-in-capital within shareholders’ equity since, under the terms of the warrants, the Company cannot be required to settle or redeem them for cash.
NOTE 4—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has agreed to pay Hambrecht-Eu Capital, a company owned and managed by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, $7,500 per month for office space and general and administrative services including secretarial support commencing on November 15, 2007 and continuing until (i) the consummation by the Company of a business combination (as described in Note 1), (ii) 18 months from commencement of the Offering if the Company does not effect a Business Combination, (iii) 24 months from the consummation of the Offering if a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement, has been executed within 18 months of commencement of the Offering and the Company has not effected a business combination, or (iv) 36 months from the consummation of the Offering if an extension has been approved by the Company’s shareholders under certain circumstances.
AEX Enterprises Limited, W.R. Hambrecht + Co., LLC and the Hambrecht 1980 Revocable Trust, companies controlled by Elizabeth R. Hambrecht, wife of Robert Eu, one of the Company’s founders and the Company’s Chairman, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary and William R. Hambrecht, Robert Eu’s father-in-law, Shea Ventures LLC, a company controlled by Edmund H. Shea Jr. and Marbella Capital Partners Ltd., a company controlled by John Wang, our Chief Executive Officer, purchased an aggregate of 1,550,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant ($1,550,000 in the aggregate) in a private placement immediately prior to the initial public offering (“private placement warrants”). Elizabeth R. Hambrecht owns approximately 25% and William R. Hambrecht controls (through a trust of which he is trustee) approximately 38% of the voting shares of AEX Enterprises Limited. William Hambrecht is a controlling person of W.R. Hambrecht + Co., LLC and is the trustee of the Hambrecht 1980 Revocable Trust. The proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants were added to the proceeds from this Offering to be held in the Trust Account pending the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination that meets the criteria described in the Offering, then the $1,550,000 purchase price of the private placement warrants will become part of any liquidating distribution to the Company’s public shareholders following the Company’s liquidation and dissolution and the private placement warrants will expire worthless.
The private placement warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the original holders of the warrants, the pre-initial public offering shareholder and director or their permitted transferees. In addition, pursuant to the registration rights agreement, the holders of the private placement warrants and the underlying ordinary shares will be entitled to certain registration rights immediately after the consummation of the initial business combination and the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis if held by the original holder, the pre-initial public offering shareholder and director or their permitted transferees. With those exceptions, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are otherwise identical to those of the warrants being sold as part of the units in this Offering.
The sale of private placement warrants did not result in the recognition of stock-based compensation expense because the private placement warrants were sold at or above fair market value.
AEX Enterprises Limited, W.R. Hambrecht + Co., LLC, the Hambrecht 1980 Revocable Trust, Shea Ventures LLC and Marbella Capital Partners Ltd. have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its private placement warrants until after the Company consummates a Business Combination. However, prior to the consummation of a business combination, the original holders of the warrants will be permitted to transfer their private placement warrants in certain limited circumstances, such as to the Company’s officers and directors, and other persons or entities associated with such persons, but the transferees receiving such private placement warrants will be subject to the same sale restrictions imposed on such entity.
10
Robert Eu, one of the Company’s founders, had provided to the Company advances totaling approximately $282,000 to pay a portion of the expenses of the Offering for the SEC registration fee, FINRA registration fee, and accounting and legal fees and expenses. The note was payable on demand with interest at 4% per annum. The note, plus interest of approximately $5,000, was repaid out of the proceeds of the Offering on March 12, 2008.
NOTE 5—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurement
, or SFAS 157, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The adoption of SFAS 157 to the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2009, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability :

NOTE 6— COMMITMENTS AND UNDERWRITERS’ COMPENSATION
The Company consummated its Offering on March 12, 2008 and paid to the underwriters a $1,120,000 underwriting fee, representing 3.5% of the gross proceeds, and is committed to pay up to an additional $1,120,000, currently held in the Trust Account, representing an additional deferred underwriting fee of 3.5%, payable upon the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination.
11
On March 31, 2008, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option and purchased from the Company an additional 239,300 units. The Company paid to the underwriters a $67,004 underwriting discount, representing 3.5% of the over-allotment gross proceeds, and is committed to pay up to an additional $67,004, currently held in the Trust Account, representing an additional deferred underwriting discount of 3.5%, payable upon the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination.
The Company also issued and sold to the underwriters, as additional compensation, on the closing date an option to purchase up to an aggregate of 280,000 units for an aggregate purchase price of $100. The Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, commencing on the later of the consummation of a Business Combination or six months from March 7, 2008 and expiring on March 7, 2013 at an initial exercise price of $10.00 per Unit.
The Company has determined based upon a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, that the estimated fair value of the option on the date of sale would be approximately $3.36 per unit or an aggregate of approximately $941,000, assuming an expected term of five years, volatility of 51.51% and a risk-free interest rate of 3.38%. Given the parameters used in the computation of the value of the option change over time, the actual fair value of the option on the date of sale is expected to be different from the estimated fair value computed above.
The volatility calculation of 51.51% is based on the five year average prior to the Offering, volatility of 62 companies drawn from the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index that had market capitalizations between $70 million and $150 million. Because the Company did not have a trading history, the Company estimated the potential volatility of its ordinary share price, which will depend on a number of factors which could not be ascertained at the time. The Company used the annualized volatility of the historical volatilities for a period of time equal in length to the term of the option because the Company believes that the volatility of these companies is a reasonable benchmark to use in estimating the expected volatility for the Company’s ordinary share post-Business Combination. Although an expected life of five years was taken into account for purposes of assigning value to this option, if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within the prescribed time period and liquidates, this option would become worthless.
Pursuant to Rule 2710(g)(1) of FINRA Conduct Rule, the option to purchase 280,000 units is deemed to be underwriting compensation and therefore upon exercise, the underlying shares and warrants are subject to a 180-day lock-up. Additionally, the option may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a one-year period (including the foregoing 180-day period) following the date of the Proposed Offering.
NOTE7 — GOING CONCERN ISSUES
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully complete a business combination within 18 months after consummation of the initial public offering on March 7, 2008 (or within 24 months (or 36 months if the extension of an additional 12 months is approved by shareholders) from the consummation of this offering if a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement has been executed within 18 months after consummation of the initial public offering and the business combination has not yet been consummated within such 18 month period or by the expiration of the extended period). The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern and is required to liquidate.
Pursuant to our articles of association, upon the expiration of the 18, 24 or 36 month time period, as applicable, our purposes and powers will be limited to dissolving, liquidating and winding up. Also contained in our articles of association is the requirement that our board of directors, to the fullest extent permitted by law, consider a resolution to dissolve our company at that time. Consistent with such obligations, our board of directors will seek shareholder approval for any such plan of distribution, and our pre-initial public offering shareholders and directors have agreed to vote in favor of such dissolution and liquidation. This provision will be amended only in connection with, and upon consummation of, its initial business combination by such date.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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 filings. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands on July 18, 2007. We were formed to acquire one or more operating businesses through a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition or similar business combination or control through contractual arrangements having its primary operations in the People’s Republic of China, or PRC. We will not seek to acquire a business with its primary operations outside of the PRC. We do not have any specific business combination under current consideration, though we have had discussions with several potential target businesses regarding a possible business combination.
If we do not consummate a business combination by September 12, 2009, but have entered into a letter of intent or definitive agreement with respect to a business combination before such date, we will have until March 12, 2010, in which to consummate a business combination. However if we anticipate that we will not be able to consummate a business combination by March 12, 2010, we may seek shareholder approval to extend the period of time to consummate a business combination until March 12, 2011. In order to extend the period of March 12, 2011, (i) public shareholders must approve the extension and (ii) public shareholders owning no more than one share less than 30% of the shares sold in this offering may have exercised their redemption rights.
Results of Operations for the Three Month Period ended March 31, 2009
We reported a net loss of $4,369 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 due to a decrease in the interest earned on the Trust Account which did not exceed our expenses for the period. Until we enter into a business combination, we will not have any operating revenues.
Overall, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we incurred $12,501 of insurance expense from the amortization of our pre-paid D&O insurance policy, $22,500 of rent expense and other operating costs of $22,744.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, our Trust Account earned interest of approximately $54,000.
Results of Operations for the Three Month Period ended March 31, 2008
We incurred a net loss of $12,212 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008. Until we enter into a business combination, we will not have revenues.
Overall, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we incurred $4,167 of insurance expense from the amortization of our pre-paid D&O insurance policy, $22,500 of rent expense and other operating costs of $822.
13
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, our trust account earned interest of $22,000 and our funds outside of the trust account had not yet began to earn interest income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 7, 2008, we completed a private placement of 1,550,000 warrants to AEX Enterprises Limited, a company controlled by Elizabeth R. Hambrecht, wife of Robert Eu, one of our founders and our Chairman, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, and William R. Hambrecht, Robert Eu’s father-in-law, W.R. Hambrecht + Co., LLC and the Hambrecht 1980 Revocable Trust, each an entity controlled by William Hambrecht, Shea Ventures LLC, a company controlled by Edmund H. Shea Jr., and Marbella Capital Partners Ltd., a company owned by John Wang, our Chief Executive Officer, and received net proceeds of $1,550,000. On March 12, 2008, we consummated our initial public offering of 4,000,000 units. On March 31, 2008, the underwriters of our initial public offering exercised their over-allotment option , for a total of an additional 239,300 units (over and above the 4,000,000 units sold in the initial public offering) for an aggregate offering of 4,239,300 units. Each unit in the public offering consisted of one share of common stock and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from us one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00. Our common stock and warrants started trading separately as of April 9, 2008.
The net proceeds from the sale of our warrants and units, after deducting certain offering expenses of approximately $2,784,873, including underwriting discounts of approximately $2,374,008, were approximately $32,679,527. Approximately $33,527,396 of the proceeds from the initial public offering and the private placement was placed in a trust account for our benefit. The trust account contains $1,187,004 of the underwriter’s compensation which will be paid to them only in the event of a business combination. The remaining $339,135 will not be held in the trust account. Except for up to $700,000 (plus up to and additional $350,000 if approved by our shareholders in connection with the extension of the period in which we must complete our initial business combination to March 12, 2011) in interest that is earned on the funds contained in the trust account that may be released to us to be used as working capital, we will not be able to access the amounts held in the trust until we consummate a business combination. The amounts held outside of the trust account are available to be used by us to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. From July 18, 2007 (the date of our inception) through March 31, 2009, we had operating expenses of $346,868. From January 1, 2009 through March 31, 2009, we had operating expenses of $57,745. The net proceeds deposited into the trust fund remain on deposit in the trust account earning interest. Other than $700,000 (or $1,050,000 if approved by our shareholders) in interest which we may use to fund working capital, the amounts held in the trust account may only be used by us upon the consummation of a business combination. As of December 31, 2008, we had 33,798,651 held in the trust account and as of March 31, 2009 there was $33,818,127 held in the trust account, which includes deferred underwriting fees of $1,187,004. Additionally, as of March 31, 2009, we had $77,187 outside the trust account to fund our working capital requirements. Through March 31, 2009, approximately $274,000 of interest earned on the trust account balance has been released to the company.
We will use substantially all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering to acquire one or more target businesses, and will use a portion of the interest earned on the trust account together with the funds not held in trust to identify and evaluate prospective target businesses, to select one or more target businesses, and to structure, negotiate and consummate the business combination. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following our initial public offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, we may need to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities if such funds were required to consummate a business combination. Such debt securities may include a working capital revolving debt facility or a longer term debt facility. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of a business combination.
Commencing on November 15, 2007, we began incurring a fee of approximately $7,500 per month for office space.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have never established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.
14
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or other long term liabilities.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the sensitivity of income to changes in interest rates, foreign exchanges, commodity prices, equity prices, and other market-driven rates or prices. We are not presently engaged in and, if a suitable business target is not identified by us prior to the prescribed liquidation date of the trust fund, we may not engage in, any substantive commercial business. Accordingly, we are not and, until such time as we consummate a business combination, we will not be, exposed to risks associated with foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices or other market-driven rates or prices. The net proceeds of our initial public offering held in the trust fund have been invested only in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Given our limited risk in our exposure to money market funds, we do not view the interest rate risk to be significant.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2009 was made under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no significant change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Act), beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, we will be required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. This report will contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal control over financial reporting is effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by management. If we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. This report will also contain a statement that our independent registered public accountants have issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of such internal controls and conclusion on the operating effectiveness of those controls.
Management acknowledges its responsibility for internal controls over financial reporting and seeks to continually improve those controls. In order to achieve compliance with Section 404 of the Act within the prescribed period, we are currently performing the system and process documentation and evaluation needed to comply with Section 404, which is both costly and challenging. We believe our process, which will begin in 2008 and continue in 2009 for documenting, evaluating and monitoring our internal control over financial reporting is consistent with the objectives of Section 404 of the Act.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We are not required to respond to this item because we are a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Use of Proceeds
On March 7, 2008, we completed a private placement of 1,550,000 warrants. On March 12, 2008, we consummated our initial public offering of 4,000,000 units. On March 31, 2008, the underwriters of our initial public offering exercised their over-allotment option for a total of an additional 239,300 units (over and above the 4,000,000 units sold in the initial public offering) for an aggregate offering of 4,239,300 units. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from us one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00. The units were sold at an offering price of $8.00 per unit and the warrants we sold at an offering price of $1.00 per warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $35,464,400. Broadband Capital Management LLC acted as lead underwriter. The securities sold in our initial public offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-146147). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on March 7, 2008.
We incurred a total of $2,374,008 in underwriting discounts and commissions, of which $1,187,004 has been placed in the trust account. Such portion of the underwriter’s compensation will only be paid to the underwriters in the event that we consummate a business combination. The total expenses in connection with the sale of our warrants in the private placement and the initial public offering were $2,784,873.
After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds to us from the private placement and the initial public offering were approximately $32,679,527. Approximately $33,527,396 (or approximately $7.91 per unit sold in our initial public offering) of the proceeds from the initial public offering and the private placement was placed in a Trust Account for our benefit and the remaining proceeds are available to be used to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses. The Trust Account contains $1,187,004 of the underwriter’s compensation which will be paid to them only in the event of a business combination. The amounts held in the trust account may only be used by us upon the consummation of a business combination, except that we may use up to $700,000 (or $1,050,000 if approved by our shareholders) of the interest earned on the trust account to fund our working capital prior to a business combination. As of March 31, 2009, there was $ 33,818,127 held in the trust account, which includes deferred underwriting fees of $1,187,004. Through March 31, 2009, approximately $274,000 of interest earned on the trust account balance has been released to the company.
